and offered to marry the girl, which
her parents refused To allow him to do,
and the general verdict is that they
are more tn blame than either the hoy
or girl, for they refused To listen To ru-
NOR, or in any way to restrict their
liberties. The girl has been the organ
ist in the church, and she persists in
saying that she will continue To act in
that capacity. This the young lies
of the town say will cause them To quit
the Sunday-schOol. The mother of the

Farm and Live Stock Notes.
Give live stock salt weekly.
Avoid last years mistakes.
Sow oats and barley early, or not at
all.
Millet is excellent food for young
chicks.
No gain ever comes from working
the soil when wet.
In stock breeding, bloGd from the
sire, beauty from the dam, should lie
the rule.
The larger the roller, the more level
will be the ground after passing over II.
Beekeepers will find profit in the red

Double CROPPING This is one of
the paying secrets Of the market gar
dener's business that farmers should
avail them elves of often. To raise two
crops in one season the snil must be
rich and otherwise i'm good order. First
there may come early peas, potatoes,
cabbage, or any soiling crop. to be fol,

CALLS ON WORKH ORsEs. These are
liable to appear on horses newly put to
work, or those breaking in new har-
ness, or saddle. A few days rest until
the abraded parts heal and harden,

will cause a fresh and bleeding gall to
dry up and cicatrise so soon az little

SHADE IN THE PASTURES. - The
eagerness with which shade is sought
by sheep and cattle in hot weather
ought to lead to the planting of some
trees in each pasture Where there is
no shade at present, rapid growers like
the silver maple, or any of the broad
growing poplars, would be best. In
moist soils the elm is almost uuequaled
as quick growing shade tree.
SELF MILKING Cows The old de-
vice of a neck rack which prevents the
turning of the head to the side, is per-
haps the best preventive known. This
consists Of two square frames placed
around the neck and connected with
each other at the four corners by light
sticks, which keep them about a foo;
apart. The cows appearance is not
improved by such fixture, but the
habit may be broken in time.
FOOD FOR Young TURKEys.-No SO
many young turkeys would die, if
greater attention was devoted to their
food For the first week equal guam
titles of hard boiled eg chopped fine,
and good wheat bread will suit them.
This may be followed by curd made
from sour milk, and bread made of
coarse flour and wheat shorts. IL con-
fined, some chopped roots or dandelions
as well rs some clean sharp sand may
be furnished. Beyond six weeks old,
screenings or small wheat may con
stitute large part OF their food. Young
turkeys need frequent feeding and pure
water.
WARFARE AGAINST INSECTS In
the orchard no quarters must he given
to the enemy. The tent-csterpillar's
presence is easily detected, as the dew
on the nests in the morning shows them
up eonspicuously. Every sign of their
existence should be destroyed, as can
easily be done when they are small.
BOrers in the trunks near the ground
must be probed or cut out. The cur
culio will begin its work at once, and
must be met by shaking the trees and
catching the insects on IA cloth and kill
ing them.
