SPRING FLOWING.

In blowing small fields, 1t is the
easiest way to set pillow in at the
bars entering the field, and follow
the fence around. Besides, if the
work is to be done by proxy, the
plowman needs little watching, ex-
cept to see that he keeps his burrows
true and of the required depth, and
lays the sod we'll over, that one is
tempted to allow it, and thus at ev-
cry blowing the soil is heaped up
against the outside of the field.
"Back-furrowing," or "left-about,
is, of course, the only remedy. Com
mon farm hands make such bungling
work of this, that it is necessary to
stake out the burrows for them and
watch them besides, especially in
irregular fields. When properly done
the entire field is plowed in one
"land," unless it is very much brok-
en- up. The old dead burrows, left
when the field was last plowed, may
ordinarily be seen, and will serve as
a guide. They will probably be
found quite accurately in the centre.
To lay out lot for back. furrowing,
the line of the first furrow should be
well staked, midway between to par
allel sides. 1t should not come near
ly to the other sides, and in blowing,
the land plowed should initiate in it's
beginning and progress the finish of
field plowed outward from the cen.
ire. Thus after blowing few fur
rows, carrying the pillow around at
the ends of the land, the pillow is run
across the ends and not taken out
again until the field is finished. In
blowing old ground for spring grain
the dead-furrows will come in the
middle of the field in all probability,
unless it be plowed in several lands
To make smooth work after the lanC
is plowed, turn half a dozen burrows
"left-about" back into the dead-fur
row, plowlng the two inner ones
deep, and the next the shallower
and the next two mere scratches
Thus plowed, the field may be soweo
and seeded down without a dead
furrow, if well Observation-Disclosures

EFFECTS OF FOOD ON MILK.

Prof. G.. G.. Caldwell of Cornell
says: Milk is the result of two oper-
ations-the breaking down of the
tissues of the milk-glands and the
diffusion of matter from the blood.
According to his theory the blood
will receive no more water than it
needs from the use of succulent food
or from water drank by the animal,
all above that being carried off by
the kidneys. Nor are there any
figures to show that water affects the
milk unfavorably. Succulent food
increases the flow of milk, but does not
materially increase the proportion of
water in it. The flow is undoubted-
ly greater in June than at any other
time of the year, but the milk is no
poorer. This subject however, needs
further investigation. But feed does
m axe a change in the dry substance
of the milk. The fact is well estab-
lished that a ration rich in albumi-
noids will make richer milk. The
relative proportions of fat and casein
are changed in marked manner By
change III tbe.ration For instance
Il ;l.a & : go ~ n - flyr. faad i
be raised from 6 1s pounds a week to
S1s pounds. An extra yield of but
ter will naturally follow the use of
richer feed, if the COW has been we'll
selected but a similar result may
not follow in the case of an ordinary
COW. Another lesson to be learned
is that certain kinds of food will pro-
duce changes in the composition of
the milk, not indicated by their
chemical analysis. Palm-nut meal is
known to increase the amount of
butter. although no chemist can ex-
actly tell why. The effect produced
on milk by substances that pass into
it directly from the blood has been
we'll established by experiment.
Thus when drugs are given to cow
their effect is seen in the milk in an
exceedingly short time. For this
reason it might be well to pay some
attention to the use of aromatic
grasses as food, such as sweet ver-
nal grass. Strange to say, however,
when alcohol is administered to a
COW, it can never be detected in the
milk, and this is regarded as point
in favor of fermented ensilage.
Mouldy grain has caused the death
of many cattle, and it has been
traced to the presence of alkaloids
in the grain. In answer to the ques-
ton how soon after change in the
ration it's results could be seen, Prof.
Caldwell replied that Kuhn, in his
experiments, waited until the third
week before he began to make OBJ
servatlons and records. In relation
to the use of aromatic grasses, Prof.
Arnold said that all these favors
were caused by the presence of vola-
tile oils, and he did not see why
chemists could not furnish the re-
quisite oils, and thus prevent the ne
cessity of giving any special food tc
produce them.

Personalities.

John Hall, d. D.
Keep clear of personalities in gen.
eral conversation. Talk of things,
objects, thoughts. Thesmallest minds
occupy themselves with personalities.
Personalities must sometimes be talk
ed, because we have to learn and find
out mems characteristics for legiti-
mate objects; but it is to be with con-
fidential persons. Do not needlessly
report i'll of Others. There are times
when you are compelled to say: "I
do not think Bouncer is a true and
honest man." But when there is no
need to express an opinion, let poor
Bouncer swagger away. Others will
take his measure, no doubt, and save
you the troble of analyzing him and
instructing them. And, as faras pos
sible, dwell on the good side of hui
manbeings. There are family boards
where constant process of deprecia-
ting, assigning motives, and cutting
up character goes forward. They are
not pleasant places. One who is
healthy does not wish to dine at
dissecting-table. There is evil enough
in man, God knows. But it is not
the mission of every young man or
woman to detail and report it all.
Keep the atmosphere as pure as pos
sible, and fragrant with gentleness
and charity.

With its sweet mouth, and eyes like stars

While | pleaded as only lover may
From those red lips one little word to win.

Shall prove me more worthy of your dear

My heart is your kingdom-be my wife,
And reign there til. the walls are dust
The roses and wine shall your life feast grace,
Though the thorns and bitter lees be
mine; U.
Not the chilling showers or noontide rays,
Shall e'er touch these golden curls OF
thine"

Shall end in 'innocuous desuetude.'"

Proud of His Sister.

The Chicago Tribune relates the
case of young man who was regard
ed as a phenomenon, because he took
his sister to all the best entertain
ments, and actually devoted himself
to her during the lecture and opera
season. Being praised for his unusu-
al attention to his sister the young
man promptly and proudly replied:
"No, there is nothing wonderful or
extraordinary about 1t. She is the
only woman l know in whom l have
the utmost confidence. She is always
the same, always pleasant and affec-
tionate, and to tell you the truth, l
am afraid she'll go and marry some
of these imitation men around here,
and be unhappy all her life"
"She has nobody else to look to,
and I'll take care she does not have
to look to somebody else. l suppose
some day genuine man will come.
If he's a genuine man, l won't OBJ
ject. Until he does come, she'll be
good enough for me, and if / ever
find as good girl, I'll marry her."
The example is most commendable.
A young man would do well to seek
his sisters society until he finds an
other lady as good as his sister.

Growth"

Good Housekeeping.
eyes, he is a fine fellow, but it is
surprising, considering the family he
belongs to, that he hasn't better table
manners"
This frank comment concerning
young friend for whom we had been
expressing our admiration, set us to
wondering why it is that in SO many
families of genuine refinement the
table manners of the children receive
so small a share Of attention. Many
parents seem to forget that the habits
formed at the home table are likely
to follow one through life. The child
that at home is allowed to "sup" his
soup audibly, to "bolt" his meat and
vegetables Ikea hungry brute, to
take quarter of a slice of bread at a
mouthful, sitting meanwhile, per-
haps, either lolling against the chair
back, or with his elbow on the table,
will inevitably mortify himself and
his friends when he comes to "dine
out"
Sometimesit it happens that at break
fast the pressure of business and house
hold cares leads to undue haste on
the parents part, thus giving addi-
tional license to the children. The
mothers attention is confined to the
pouring of coffee, and thefather is too
impatient to be at his Office to take
time to serve the steak and potatoes
with the gracious mein that distin-
guishes him when guests are present,
and children are quick to note the
difference. Mrs. Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, in letter to her mother, re-
calls this reminiscence of her child
hood: "At table what an impression
of elegance and spirituality you made
upon my mind by never being pre-
occupied with your own plate and
food, so that l used to think that
mothers lived without eating as well
as without sleeping, saw that you
were taken up with supplying others
with what they wished for, before
they had time to find out themselves.
What elegant mannersp I used to
feel, and so resolved to do so too"
Children's minds are like sensitized
plates, and those about them little
realize the ineffaceable impressions
they are constantly receiving. Hap
py is the child who can find in the
home circle, pure and lofty ideas of
daily living.

Choosing a Career.

Harpers Monthly.
One sharp lesson Of the autumn's
panic, and, indeed, of our shifting
American fortunes without any panic
at all, is the wasteful folly and cruelty
of the old education of woman. 1t is
folly, in an economic sense, that ig-
nores the sharp possibilities of the
future for our girls, while we send
our boys out into life fully armed and
equipped for the fray. .a
The young man, returned from col
lege or the scientific school, in the
bright glow of dawning powers, un-
trammeled as yet by care, and under
the shelter of his fathers roof, decides
upon his career. Admiring aunts and
sisters watt their prayers and hopes
upon the winds that wing his sail;
the fathers experience and counsel
pilot the boat through the shallow
waters near the shore. Everything
aids his start-youth, freshness, and
special training. He has no response
bility upon him save for his own
health and good behavior.
When does a woman choose her
career? In middle age; broken down
by sorrow; when she has seen her
life's hopes 60 down one by one in
the horizon. AS a girl, she has wait
ed in her fathers house for the lover
who never came. All of youth has
gone by in vague dreams. In the
frivolous business of fashionable So
ciety her strength has spent itself.
Her hands are skill-less save in de-
licate embroidery; her brain is slug
gish, though it aches with this new
anxiety and despair. Heavily
weighted with responsibility, it may
be, with the broken down father or
the always invalid mother now sud-
denly dependent upon her, she sets
out upon this new path with weak,
uncertain steps. Beginning career
at forty, all unframed!
The daughter of her washer-woman
can distance her; the girl who used
to bring home her shoes has already
shot far ahead. She scarce used to
notice these girls, save when they
were thinly clad or looked 'hungrier
than usual. 1t was easy to loosen
her purse-strings or send them into
the servants room to be warmed and
fed. Where are they now, while she
is halting, timorous, on the sharp
stones of the highway? The washer
woman's girl is salaried teacher in
the model school-house yonder; the
other is bOok-keeper in her fathers
shop, and it pays her well.
All! that artisan father, that
mother toiling early and late, had q
deeper wisdom in their need than the
merchant, the clergyman, the railway
king, in his hour of power. What
cruelty like to their indulgence now
The unreasoning fondness which
reared their girls in luxurious help
lessness, which assumed the future as
certain in its golden round, has its
parallel in other lands. There are
Asiatic fathers who put out the eyes
of a girl that she may be a more
pathetic beggar. To the study of this
Chinese prototype we commend thu
American father who, choosing a ca
reer for his boys in the fine freshness
, of arlymanhood, leaves his darling
, daughters helpless amidst the buffet
of the changing tide.
