Cost of Dairy Products.

Professor William Brown of the Onta-
rio Agricultural College, has been car
rying on experiments tor determining the
food cost of milk. butter and cheese, both
in summer and in winter. and he finds
that with the common Ontario and Sh ort-
horn grade cows, yielding $500 pounds of
milk a year, the food cost in summer is
three cents per gallon. This allows for
three acres of ordinary cultivated hay
pasture" the grass upon which is worth
to the farmer $40 per season, of six
months. With better pasture, capable
of keeping two cows upon three acres,
the food cost of the milk NAV be reduced
to two cents per gallon. In winter, with
a daily allowance of II pounds of hay, so
pounds of turnips or mangolds, 3 pounds
bran. and pounds of crushed oats. cost
ing in market Is cents, bvt to the farmer
who grows it not over cents, the cost
of milk with cows giving % pounds
per day will be only Al cents per gallon.
On this basis for the cost of the milk. a
pound of butter in winter will cost for
food consumed, a cents, and in summer.
with ordinary pasture. cents, but with
the best of pasture, , cents per pound.
The cost OF cheese in summer. from milk
made by cows feeding in ordinary pasture,
is placed at cents per pound.
Although the prices of cattle food are
usually somewhat lower in Canada than
in the eastern and middle States, yet we
think many of our readers must see that
by Prof. Browns method of figuring, there
must be some profit to be derived from
the business of dairying here in New
England, with present prices for milk,
butter and cheese.

A Word tn Mothers.

write to YOU, parents, concerning the
welfare of your children. But especially
do I write to you, mothers, as having the
greater responsibility in the bringing up
of the little ones and in the moulding OF
their characters. The message | would
bring home to you, one and all, is this;
Never frighten them. Do not, | beseech
you. run the risk of making idiots OF them
by filling their young minds with horrors:
Do not attempt to brighten them into good
behavior by solemn warnings of imaginary
terrors. A large proportion of mothers
use these means to coerce their children
into obedience. They fill their infant
minds with dire stories of COLLINS, ogres,
"bogiemen, head and bloody-bones,"
and hosts of other fictitious and terrible
characters. The little ones 60 about ex-
pecting to find lurking fiend in every
corner The practice is not only devoid
of common sense, but is absolutely lnJu-
rious and dangerous. Many a child has
been driven insane through intense fear.
So deeply instilled are these things IN
their minds-for mama would not tell
lie. you know-that it takes years and
wears of after life to thoroughly eradicate
them.
The writer had kind, good. self-sacri-
ficing motherhood bless her-but she
committed this one error in the bringing
up of her children. Many time | lay IN
NV crib with covered heah and suffered
the most intense agony OF fear; many
time | nearly went into spasms upon be-
ing caught in the dark, which | imagined
peopled with strange and fearful beings,
and fraught with unseen dangers for
naughty BOYS like unto me. And strange
to say these feelings followed me nearly
to manhood, and believe they still Turk
somewhere in my innermost nature.
Now mothers, for the very love you
bear your children, avoid this great error.
Bring them up as near as you can without
the knowledge OF fear. If fear be shown
by them at any time, try to reason it away
and show them there is no cause for 1t, II
there be none. Tell them no tales OF
ghosts, ogres, COLLINS, or other imaginary
characters neither tell them of horrible
realities such as Indian atrocities and the
like. Such narratives take deeper hold
on their young minds than upon maturer
intellect and many little one awakes at
midnight with the cold sweat of terror on
his brow, from the effects of some blood
curdling tale he has heard or read before
going to bed.
Make the little folks live as happily as
possible, and so bring them up that in at
ter life they shall have no cause to enter
tain hard feelings towards their parents
Good HouSekeeptng.

and the most dangerous of any to which human
kind is liable. They fly from one part to another
without moments warning and lniments and
other outward applications are in themselves dam
gerous because they liable to drive the disease

Rheumatism and neuralgia are diseases Of the
blood and can only be reached by remedy which
will drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such remedy is Athlophoros. has been thor

but all they did was TO impress on my mind that
I would always be troubled with rheumatism,

determined to try it, SO my druggist got me one
bottle, and the contents of that single bottle gave
me so much relief and ease, that felt was at
