pose that they can find. sufficient
nourishment on the dead and juioelsss
vegetation that covers the fields In
March.
When the pastures begin to fall of,
says the American Agriculturist, some
extra food should be provided for all
the stock, but especially the COWS.
Horses are always well cared for, but
the COWS are too often neglected, both
as to food and a supply of pure water.
Those farmers who have provided some
soiling crops, will find the benefit of
the fresh, green fodder; those who
have not, will now see the disadvan-
tage of being short of feed just at this
season. 1t is very easy to secure this
supply of food for the short season.
Every farmer has a neglected piece of
land, which is bringing in nothing, and
which could be made to produce a
very profitable crop of green food.
Such an opportunity should not be
neglected. Where the supply has
been provided, liberal feed should
be given daily. 1t is mistake to sup
pose that it is waste of food to feed
literally now, and that it is better TO
save the food for winter, and spare it
at this season. When any animal is
kept short of food, it goes back rapidly,
and more food will be required to
make up this lost ground than would
have kept the animal in its normal
condition. This is especially true as
regards swine; if these are permitted
to fall off now, for lack of food, they
will consume much more than the
present gain, in recovering the loss.
Animals that are intended for fattening
should be kept on full feed now, and
those to be wintered over should be
kept in good condition. The old and
true adage should not be forgotten,
viz, IAN animal that is well
summoned is half wintered."

PATIENCE DOW.

Home from the mill came Patience Dow;
She did not smile, she would not talk;
And now she was all tears, and now
As fierce as q captive hawk.
Unmindful of her faded gown,
She sat with faded hands all day,
Her long hair falling tangled down,
Her sad eyes gazing far away,
Where, past the fields, a silver line,
She saw the distant river shine.
But, when she thought herself alone,
In such a chill despairing tone,
1t seemed the east winds sullen moan:
''Ah me! the days, they move so slow!
care not il they're fair or foul;
They creep alongI know not how:
only know he loved me once
He does not love me now!'
One morning, vacant was her room;
And, in the clover wet with dew,
A narrow line of broken bloom
Showed some one had been passing
And Following the track, it led
Across field of summer grain,
Out where the thorny blackberries shed
Their blossoms in the narrow lane,
Down which the cattle went to drink
In summer from the rivers brink.
''The river!" Hope within them sank;
The fatal thought that drew her there
They knew, before, among the rank,
White blossomed leaves upon the bank,
They found the shawl she used to wear,
And on it pinned q little note:
"Oh, blame me mott" it read ''for when
once am free, my soul will float
To him! He cannot leave me then!
I know not If tits right or wrong
20 from life-I care not how;
l only know he loved me once
He does not love me now''
In the farm graveyard, meath the black,
Funeral pine trees ON the hill,
The poor, worn form the stream gave back
They laid in slumber, cold and still.
Her secret slept with her; none knew
Whose tickle smile had left the pain
That cursed her life; to one thought true,
Her vision-haunted, wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame,
In life and death had kept his name.
Yet, often, with a thrill of fear,
Her mother, as she lies awake
At night will fancy she can hear
A voice, whose tone is like the drear
Low sound the graveyard pine trees make;
II know not if it's right or wrong
60 from life-I care not how;
only know he loved me once
He does not love me now!''

Finished Products.

buy the BEST is sound advice.
Any shrcwd purchaser learns to follow
it at an early date, and buys of who
ever has the best goods. 1t pays as
well on the farm as elsewhere.
Twenty-Five cents is cfmmon price for
butter in the older states. In the dairy
regions most farmers are content to
sell at the medium price at the coun-
try store and take their pay in goods
and settle once year. They do not
have modern improvements or use ice,
and are not scrupulously clean from
the milking to the packing of the balls
for market. They fall short in several
respects of ''gilt-edg9d butter'' But
my neigbbor A. believes in finished
products. He uses ice, every vessel is
kept thoroughly secured and sweet.
his cream is we'll ripened, churned
twice week, the butter is thoroughly
worked, sailed by rule, packed in neat
balls and sent to market in cold at
mosphere. He does not sell at the
stores at the merchants price, but sup
plies families at - cents pound and to
1amllles IN the nelghDOrlng city at 30
cents. Every one that uses his butter
is satisfied with his finished product,
and continues to purchase as long as
he can secure it. Mr.. A. finds that
Jerseys and their grades are the butter
cows, and has weeded all others out of
his herd. He milks them for ten and
one-half months and has no occasion to
trade off dry COWS. BY regulating the
time of calving, he keeps the churn go
ing the year round. Mr.. B. is another
neighbor, who keeps a dozen cows of
high Jersey grade, makes a gilt-edged
butter the year round, and sells in the
city for IS cents in summer and 40
cents in winter. With suitable build
ings and fodder, it is no more difficult
to make the butter in winter than in
summer, and the economy is not simply
in the higher price.-American Agrl
