RAISED ON THE FARM.---''Born and
raised on the farm A boy should
thank God for being fortunate
enough as to be born and raised on
a farm. There is no place on this
green earth so well adapted to per-
fectly develop mind, muscle and
manhood as a farm; there a boy
has the purest air, the freshest and
healthiest food, plenty of restricted
exercises, the brightest sunshine and
the soundest sleep-the very condi-
ton necessary for the highest devel-
opmentr Nine-tenths of all the men
who have made their mark in any
business, profession or pursuit have
been born and raised on a farm
this is not so much because there is
better blood on the farm but be-
cause the surroundings of farm life
are better calculated to call ont what
there is in a boy; and develop full
grown, healthy, perfect, self-reliant
man.

WHY MAJOR WENT TO
CHURCH.

| once visited pleasant country
house, the owner of which had a
powerful and sagacious dog called
Major. This dog was highly priced
by his master and by the people of
the neighborhood. He had saved
many lives. Once when swing
rope entangled around the neck of a
little girl, Major held her up until
help came.
One day the butcher brought in
his bill for Majors provisions. Ma
jor's master thought it altogether toe
large, and shaking the paper angrily
at the dog, he said:
"See here, old fellow, you never
ate all that meat,-did your"
The dog looked hard at the bill,
shook himself all over, regarded the
butcher with contempt, and then
went back to his rug, where he
stretched himself out with low
growl of dissatisfaction.
The.next Sunday, just as service
began at the village church, into my
friends pew vaulted Major.
The Major kept perfectly quiet
until we all arose for prayer; Their
he sprang upon the seat, stood on
his hind-legs, placed his fore-paw
upon the front of the pew behind,
and stared gravely and aehfulIy
into the face of the butcher, who
looked very much confused, anc
turned first red and then pale. The
whole congregation smiled and TIT.
tered. Majors master at once took
the dog home. But the butcher was
more considerate in his charges from
that time. Evidently he felt morti
fed and conscience stricken.-&

MARKETING CHICKENS.

The great obstacle to obtaining
the highest prices is that chicks of
certain weights must reach the mar
ket at particular period. If too
soon, they will sell for but very little,
and, if too late, the same difficulty
occurs. Just what that time may he
cannot be stated, as something de-
ponds upon the severity of the win
ter. For instance, about the 1st of
February, there is a demand for
small chicks of less than three-quart-
ers of pound each. Should they
reach the market too soon, they will
get there ahead of the demand, and,
as each succeeding week heavier
chick is preferred, if the three-quart-
er- pound chick arrive in the market
when the demand is for those weigh
ing a pound each, the heavier ones
may sell for seventy-five cents each,
and the lighter ones at only twenty
five cents; but should the pound
chicks arrive when the demand is for
smaller weights, the spectacle will be
presented of half-pound chick sell
ing for double as much as those that
are heavier. The greatest demand
is usually when asparagus is in the
market, but those who make a spe-
cialty of raising young chicks should
keep themselves well informed re.
garding not only the prices, but also
the weights in demand. Should the
chicks be Matched so late as to be-
behind the size wanted, they canno
recover such disadvantage. Hence
the value of incubators, which afforC
the poultryman opportunities o
Matching at any time desired.-Rma

Knowing in his dog mind that the

knowing in his dog mind that the
first stories were already in blaze,
he leaped up the ladder and jumped
in through the window. The fire
and smoke soon drove him back,
but his master, who appeared at
that moment, shouted to him to 90
in, and the people cheered. Whether
he understood or not, he again en-
tered the window, and when all hope
of his return had been given up, a
loud shout announced his arrival.
He was terribly burned, andfen be-
fore he reached the ground; still
holding with wonderful frmness a
little babe.
The child did not prove to be
greatly harmed; but poor Carlo s in
juries were fatal. The brave dog
received every care, but he died next
day.

THE INNER LIFE.

s. We all know what life is; how we
live, and move and act day by day
how we arise every morning and lie
down at night; and how every man
and woman follows in the wake of
the multitude that has passed on,
bent upon deeds of pleasure of prof
it, duty and enjoyment. And we
know that we are told that life is only
SPANS length,-a breath-a vapof
that vanishes away. We realize. if
we will, that it is like the grass that
groweth up only to wither,-that SO
short is it, it seems as if there was
but step from infancy to the grave;
yet we dig and delve, plan and work
as if life was endless.
Men judge us by what they see of
us; the outside is all that thew can
see, and they persuade themselves
often that the outer shell is the whole
of it. In a measure we want Just
that, for into the sacred precincts
upon which no mortal eye may look
they cannot step: it is our right to
keep the door closed upon the hidden
mysteries into which God alone can
be admitted.
The mysterious bound that hides
the inner life is too sacred to be ex-
posed to our nearest and dearest
friend. You take a watch into your
hand, you hear the throb of it's tick,
you see the hands move, and you
know that within are the springs, the
wheels, the pivots, sand the action
of each upon the other that keeps
the watch in useful order. If you
like, you can open the case and see
how the parts are fitted to make
perfect whole. But you may not see
the inner life that hides itself from
mortal ken.
Upon it depends the beauty of the
life that we live: how then can the
outer she'll be true index of the kerr
mel within? 1t must be an inner
life THAT IS healthy, happy and holy:
we must not only abide in Christ, but
He must abide in us. If the corn in
the ear is to be found perfect in its
full maturity, one does not plant
kernel that is crooked and diseased,
but one that is perfect and healthy !;
and when the tiny shoot comes thro'
ly summer sun, it fairly springs forth
into the light of 1t, as if it were glad
to grow. A Christian ought always
to carry happy face, but to do so
the inner life must be joyous one !:
if one is willing to be gloomy Chris
tan, walking with head bent, looking
at the ground by ones feet, rather
than up into the face of the dear Je-
sus who is waiting to help; worrying
and fretting all the time, numbered
with many cares that the Lord can
straighten better than they can there
will never be happy face that would
show that they had been with Jesus.
And if one would grow to be holy
like Jesus, TO be a fit temple for the
Holy Ghost, to be prepared for the
life that begins only after death,
there is but one way to accomplish it,
and that is, to look we'll to the inner
life; to keep it healthy, and happy,
and holy, and so will we be prepared
for an eternity which is sure to come.
"And, behold, | come quickly
and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be-.

THE EVIL OF TOO RICH FOOD

The richest food is not always
best adapted to the requirements of
the stock. Corn is one of the richest
grains, yet in many cases it is not
well adapted to the needs of an ami
NAL as some of the grains and foods
which are not nearly so rich in fat
producing elements. Young and
growing animals require food which
will make bone and muscle rather
than fat. In fact it is injurious to
heavily load young animal with fat
and it should not be done, except
when it is to 90 to the butcher, as
its growth will he checked and per-
haps it will become diseased by such
treatment. This idea conflicts with
the manner of feeding as practiced
on many farms, but its adoption
would be in the direction of advance
ment in the science of feeding do
nestle animals. Corn and other
equally heating foods must be fed
more sparingly, and in connection
with a larger proportion of succulent
substltutes-suclfa as beets, turnips.
carrots, ensilage, etc. BY sucl
feeding the health of the stock will
be better preserved, and the system
will not become fevered or so liable
to disease, but will be kept NOR,
nearly in normal condition unde
which condition, as every one knows
animals will make the most rapiC
growth.

CARLO.

How well we all remember Carlo
He was a dear old dog, and belong
ed to Mr.. Rhodes, the constable of
our town.
Carlo always made point of at
tending all the fires in the town. He
could mount ladder like a fireman,
and well do | recollect the last of
his adventures.
1t was toward evening on a holt
day, and few people were in the
place, as most of the citizens of the
town were absent on a popular ex-
cursion.
| remember feeling sadly dlsap-
pointed at having to miss the excur-
sion myself AT about five O'Clock
the bells began to ring very loud and
fast; and Carlo, who had been lazily
sleeping and watching the place,
started up, and, with two or three
expressive growls that summoned his
master, ran with all speed for the
fire.
The dog was very busy and intel
ligent all the time, dragging down
the stairs, with great speed and care,
things of every description.
As the last house was burning,
the cry of child was heard in the
! upper story.

ton for any one to 60 up and expec
to come back (; bat Carlo seemed tC

VARIETIES OF FOOD FOR
FOWLS.

Many writer's favor the practice of
feeding the chicks the eggs that have
been subjected to the heat of incu-
baton for a week or ten days and
thrown out, as unfertile. We, how
ever, do not think we'll of this prac-
tice. Very few if any such eggs are
really fit to be eaten by very young
chicks; when boiled there is a SLIM
ness about them which is not found
in a fresh egg, and it is my opinion
that they will produce disease.
Lean meat boiled, chopped very
fine and mixed with scalded dough,
made of oat or wheat and cornmeal,
equal parts, is a fine food, much
relished. When seemingly without
appetite "dumpy" both young and
old chicks will fight for meat.
1t is their natural food as much as
or more so than grain, and they are
very fond of it,. while too much
should not be given clear. it should
form part of the dough one meal
each day. For variety of food is
as essential to the proper and rapid
development of the chicks as it is
essential to the health and produc-
tiveness of old fowls.
One kind of food alone, no matter
how good in itself will not answer ;
a change is necessary, or perhaps
better still q mixture of the best
foods in the right thing. | have
usually given this to several fowls
and mixed in the quantities best
suited to the health of tender little
chicks. OF course everything is to
be ground first, then when they are
larger, cracked fine and lastly fed
cracked coarse or whole everything
is boiled or scalded and fed warm or
cold according to the time of the
year or weather. 1t is no special
benefit in my opinion to feed warm
food at noon and evening during
warm weather.-Racine 1gricul-

to cling to the Christian hopes which
first bloomed at the tireside of my
childhood's home, to rest III my in

ample of my godly parents, is no un
manly thing. God forbid that /

two large holes in the back doors, aud,
finding their progress barred by the iron
plates in the doors, they adopted an
easier way Of getting In. They simply
lifted the window, put their bands

pushed down the wooden bar placed
across the doors, and forced the doors
open. They must have been expert
judges in dry goods, for they picked out
only the best of everything in ladies'
cloaks, pants, lsces, linens, silks and
such like. Having secured about $500
they left by the back doors and down
