How Passion ana Erotism Run Away with
Cafn, NVtadoua

Calm Wisdom.
One day two learned men, who had
studied Nature all their lives. and who
had spont every day examining ami
mails Of all kinds and knew how to talk
about each one, sat together discussing
beasts and worms, fishes and birds and
all species Of plants and trees, from the
cedar Of Lebanon TO the hyssop that
grows on the wall. Both were pleased
and complimented each other At
length they began to talk about the
characteristics and habits of cats.
They then disagreed and lively dis
pute ensued. For one OF them said:
"The cat is the most malicious and
noisome animal, false and mischievous.
a tigor in disposition rs we'll as in ap-
pearance, though fortunately not in
size and strength, for which last named
fact we can not thank and praise
Heaven enough" But the other said:
"The cat may be compared to the lion;
for, beside resembling him in appear
ance, she is like him noble and gener-
ousi she Is cleanly and gentle, and
therefore naturally at enmity with the
dirty and intrusive dog. In short, she
Is the most useful animal for which
man can not thank and praise Heaven
enough" Then the other flew into
passion, for he was fond of dogs and
referred TO the dogs of Ulysses. Tobin
and Frederick the Great. But the
other confuted his argument by allud-
ing TO the cats of Lcibnitz, the great
philosopher. who had done so much TO
enlighten the world and to exalt others
in wisdom and knowledge. Without
coming to any agreement they parted
at enmity with each other The one
went home to his ayiary; for he kept
living birds. some Of which the cats had
eaten. The other went to his museum
of stuffed birds and animals, which, TO
his great vexation, the mice were de-
stroying. Such are the judgments Of
passion and egotism. Open Court.

FIFTY-ACRE FARMS.

Amount OF Profits.

How They Can lie Made to Fay Fair
Amount OF Profits.
The live stock of the 5O-acre farm
may be pair Of good breeding mares
and three colts. ono colt to be raised
and one to be sold each year; l6 cows,
D yearlings aud calves, 3 calves to be
raised each year; breeding sows may
be kept and 10 ltters of pigs sold each
| year, or the same value obtained bv
faitening 10 pigs to the weight Of 25O
pounds each. In this section pasturage
can always be hired at n reasonable
rate, rs some farms can only be used
for that purpose. The two Oldest colts
and five yearings can be 50 pastured
for $50 the season. For mixed farm
ing, a dairy of Holstein grades of
good butter family is, think, the
best.
What can be sold from this farm
under the rotation and management
above stated?

As there are plenty Of large farmers
and others who do not raise their own
pigs, horses or cows, u ready market
may he always had for such stock. The
grain raised will be sufficient for the
team and colts, and perhaps more than
they require. as the team labor of this
farm will be light. Grains for hogs and
cows can be bought. The ten acres of
pasture above described will 90 far to-
ward keeping the sixteen cows, but il
will be necessary to cut two or three
acres of clover, and perhaps an acre Of
peas and oats. aud some Of the corn
for part soiling during the summer
Forty tons of hay can be stored for
winter use, which. with corn fodder
once a day. will be found ample for the |
stock named. If the farm is not suit
able for potatoes. the whole field may |
be sOwn TO corn and more cows kept, |
and the sales will be about the same.
But one Of your correspondents saws
that the grass seeding may fail True,
but such thing has not happened in
my experience in II or Is years, and l.
not likely 10 occur on n well-tillcd and
well-manured farm. Another says that
abortion among his cows ruined his cx-
pectations. My dairy was formerly g.
COWS. and with 30 years experience
with this trouble. can recall but one
instance in which IL was necessary to
turn the COW because Of failure 10 breed.
Some Of my Holstein grades have met
with this accident, but their disposition
TO give milk is 50 great that the loss
resulting Is comparatively light.
The farm expenses will be about as
