A Neglected Crop.
Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
1t would be better for us if we con-
sidered the manure made on the
farm as a crop; and it is strange that
we do not do so, for it is a product of
the farm and has money value as
much as corn or hay or cotton. When
we once consider manure as crop,
we will take just as much pride in
making big crop of manure as of
corn; and we will no more allow
part of the manure crop to go to
waste, than we would part of the
wheat or hay crop. Generally but
little can be charged against the pro-
duction of the manure crop; all the
cost is often the expense of harvest
ing gathering and storing), this crop.
On the most fertile farms this crop
is worth to the farmer several times
the cost of harvesting it. And it is
the greatest wonder of our farming
that we do not start out in the fall
with a determination to make bet.
ter manure crop than our neighbor,
as we start out in the spring with a
determination to make a better Oat
potato or tobacco crop. The Clearly
man will harvest large manure
crop, because he will gather up all
refuse and put it in the compost heap
He will have clean stables, clean
barns, clean yards-a clean farm
and cleanliness is the preserver O
health. Thus we see that while the
wheat or potato crop supplies strength
and energy, the manure crop, closely
gathered and well kept, prevents the
agents of disease from stealing away
that strength. Pride in the manure
crop gOeth before wealth and health

bare prairie, with numbers undimin-
ished by any of the ordinary cattle
scourges, and with expenses for care
reduced to a minimum.
Once year the great fleece, weigh
ing from ten to fourteen pounds, is
shed, and its manufacture into Il
thick, warm cloth was at one time a
regular industry at Winnipeg, until
it was discontinued by the extirpa-
ton of the animals in the adjoining
region. In its market value, the buff
falo is not behind his smoother rela-
tive, for even if the quality of meat
is inferior, the difference is more than
made up by the great weight of the
animal and by the value of the robe,
which usually brings from ten to tif-
teen dollars. AS draft animals they
have proved a success; for notwith-
standing their great strength, endu-
rance and activity, they are as easily
handled as ordinary oxen. In one
particular only is the buffalo far in
ferior to other species of cattle, and
that is as mixer; but to the ranch
man milk is really of no consequence.
Mr.. Bedson, the owner of the herd,
after experimenting with crosses, is
well satisfied with the hybrid, as 1t
is in shape more like the domestica-
ted cow. and is also a fair mixer.
Yet we doubt that this gain is suffi-
cient to compensate for the deteriora-
ton of the fur; while, also, it would
be a matter for endless regret if, in
the prosecution of these experiments,
the original pure race were lost. The
rate of increase of the buffalo, though
theoretically the same as with other
cattle, is really much higher, on ac-
count of the lower rate of mortality.
When the present herd is sufficient
ly increased, it is intended to divide
it among several prairie ranches in
localities where once the wild buffalo
found its choicest pastures. This
amounts almost to restocking of the
buffalo region.

81 have lost my child" Then
may God pity and comfort you, for
nobody else can. But do not lose
Him, too. Do not let the cloud of
your sorrow cause you to doubt His
love for you, or the wisdom which
has permitted you to be stricken so
sorely. You often have been con-
WINGED that the Affections of others
were blessings, in fact, however much
disguised in appearance. Do not
doubt that in due time you will see
the same thing to be true of yourself.
Remember, too, that you have not
'lost" your child. 1t is in better,
wiser, tenderer keeping than even
yours. Moreover, the way to its
abode of blessedness is straight and
plain, even if it be narrow and steep.
The door of that bright home is open
to you, if you will fulfil the condi-
tons of entrance. The help that you
need in order to fulfil them day by

tager here, who is noted forthe length
of his prayers and sourness of his dis
position. Strange to say, he has one
of the sweetest and most charming of
daughters, who looks as if she had
seen but about seventeen ice cream
seasons.
He holds family prayers every
night in the cottage, at which time
he prays long and loud, according to
a set form, from which he never va
ries. In spite of his vigilance a close
intimacy has sprung up between his
daughter and a yaung man, the son
of aclergyman from near Easton, who
is a college student. The other even

A Very Pretty Story.

1t is a beautiful story that, in one
of the old cities of Italy, the king
caused a bell to be hung in a tower
in one of the public squares, and call
ed it "The bell of justice" and COM
manded that any one who had been
wronged should 60 and ring that bell
and so call the magistrate of the city
and ask and receive justice. And
when, in the course of time, the low
er end of the bell-rope rotted away, a
wild vine was tied to it to lengthen
it; and one day an old and starving
horse that had been abandoned by its
owner and turned out to die wander
ed into the tower, and in trying to
eat the vine, rang the bell. And the
magistrate of the city, coming to see
who rang the bell, found this old and
starving horse; and he caused the
owner of the horse, in whose service
he had tOiled and been worn out, tC
be summoned before him, and de
creed that as his poor horse had rung
the bell of justice, he should
have justice, and that during the
horses life his owner should provide
for him proper food and drink ant
stable.

Successful Domestication of the Ameri-
can Buffalo.

American Agriculturist.
A gentleman is now successfully
demonstrating the American buffalo
at Stony Mountain, Manitoba. Start
ing his herd in 1878 with four heifer
calves and one bull, it now numbers
sixty-one head; the greater number,
pure buffalo; the rest, half breeds.
When we saw them in January, all
were sleek and fat, and yet they were
then living on the open prairie, and
feeding on the prairie grasses covered
by snow. At this time the snow was
deep and the thermometer had, for
long, registered twenty or more be-
low zero. In January of the preced-
ing year, one of the cows had calved
on the plain, and although at the
time the thermometer registered
thirty-eight degreesbelo zero, Meth
er cow nor calf appeared to suffer in
the least. When a blizzard comes
on, the animals lie down together
with their backs to the wind and al
low the snow to drift over them, SC
that under the combined protection
of their own wool and the snow, they
are quite warm. Not one of this herd
has evereXhibited theslightest symp.
tops of disease, although the only
care that they receive is occasional
watching, to prevent them from
straying away. Thus winter anC
summer they live and thrive on the

Hints For Ladies Who Wish For I'm
patient Husbands.

Let your husband return home
from his labor at night, and find the
fire out, his tea and toast cold, and
you in the parlor reading novel.
If he tells you he fears his expenses
are going before his income, and pro-
poses to move into smaller house,
sit down and cry about it. Tell him
you always lived in large house be-
fore you were married, and you think
it is very cruel in him to disgrace you
now, in the eyes of the world, by put
ting you in a shanty.
If you ask him for money, and he
says he has a note to pay on the NOR
row, but promises that you shall have
it as soon as he can spare it, tell him
you never asked him for money in
your life but he had note to pay;
and if he is willing to disgrace him
self by letting his wife wear her fall
bonnet in December, you are sure
you don't care; you will never ask
him for a cent again as long as you
live.
If at the end of a few months he
fails in business, don't like sensible
woman, make the best of his misfor-
tunes, or try to help him to bear up
under his troubles by giving him
sympathy, but cry as though your
heart would break. Tell him that
by mismanaging his business he has
brought a terrible disgrace upon yon
and your family, and he cannot rea-
sonably expect any of your or your
parents sympathy.
Hint occasionally before him of
how much higher position you held
in society before than since your
marriage.
Let him know how manynew dress
es.Mr. So-and-so buys for his wife, and
how much better he loves her than
your husband loves you.
If he has business to call him out
in the evening, be sure and fret when
he returns about his being out nights;
and about his disliking to be at home
with his family. 1t may have q
tendency to make him like home and
the society of his wife! Try it.
If you have little children to KEEP
at home, whine every time he comes
into the house about being tied al
home. Then, if he proposes to take
you and the children out to ride, tel
him you are tired half to death anC
don't want to ride. Very likely hi
will leave the house, closing the doc
with force enough to shake its yer!
foundations, thinking that you ma.
stay at home until your dying day
before he will ask you to go on
again.
You may find fault on every posi-
BILE occasion, and tell him regurlarl.
every day that you do not believ
there is another woman in town VIII
has so hard a time as you; and il
return you will have as impatien
and disconnected husband as can b
found, and one who will come HON
only at eating and sleeping hours
and you may be thankful to see hir
then.
