A CHILD enjoys himself more
heartily, when he does enjoy him
self, than an old person does. That
everybody admits. A child suffers
at heart more keenly, when he
does suffer at heart, than does an
older person. That is not recogniz-
ed by everybody. A child's power
of enjoyment is made a proverb. A
child's power of mental suffering is
hardly thought Of by the world
generally. Now and then the delib-
crate suicide Of a child, because Of
some little disappointment to which
an adult would hardly given a
second thought, startles the com
munity and is spoken Of as a very
remarkable occurrence. Yet as a
matter Of fact and as a matter of
course, a child's intenser sensitive
ness gives it the same added power
Of suffering as of enjoyment, and
the little ones about US have a hard
er time of it in the days of their
childhood than we know anything
about-save as we remember our
childhood, and retain more or less
of its freshness in our maturer
years. We say that we stake things
more philosophically as we grow
older" which is only another way
of saying that We grow tougher
hearted. But even if this be the
case with ourselves, let US remem.
Der that the little ones who lack
our measure Of philosophy deserve,
therefore, larger share Of our sym
pathy. It is good to have the light
heartedness Of child. Il is hard
to have the heartracking sorrows of
a child.

A GROWER in Dane county writes
the Western Farmer that hay is
going to be an enormous crop. Rye
is already the greatest crop that
Wisconsin has had for years.
Winter wheat, where the soil is
rather rich, is already lodged, and
a good deal of it will be blighted
and rusty, and of course will be
damaged more or less according to
circumstances. Oats are coming
along sp'endidly and bid fair for a
splendid crop. Corn is more than
growing, but the weeds are giving
it a good race. Fruit trees have
made a splendid growth this spring.
Cherries are an entire failure.
Apples, from appearance, will be a
fair crop. Strawberries are outdo-
ing themselves.

HoARD's Dairyman is of the opin-
ion that more than ten pounds of
milk should go to make a pound of
cheese. The reports of the Canadian
cheese factories show that they take
from lO4 to 1o8 pounds of milk,
average for the season of six or seven
months, to make pound of cheese.
These facts account for considera-
bic part of the conceded excellence
of Canada cheese. The cheese
makers and the farmers who make
milk for cheese, may as well learn
they will have to face one Of two
facts-put more than ten pounds of
common milk into pound of firm,
sweet, well-oured cheese; or milk
better COWS. They will find it for
their interest to do the latter, for
the day will soon be along when
milk will be paid for the utilized
solids in it; and the water in it will
not count.

FARM AND FIRESIOE.

The peach trees that were planted
last spring should be properly shaped
with the shears. The first year is the
most important one for trimming the
trees, as any injury received will be per-
manent.
"A churn should be scalded with
boiling water, made alkaline with
washing soda. Every particle of milk
or cream should be removed. After
being well washed the churn should be
rinsed by az ain using boiling water.
The work can not be too carefully done
Pigs should be weaned gradually,
and have to be taught to eat before
they are weaned. Give them trough
where the SOW can not reach it and fur
nish little food four times daily, COLI
sisting of mixture of bran, ground
oats and corn meal, scalded in hot
water.-Farm and Home.
-Curried Veal: Fry four or five
onions in two ounces of butter. Rub
two spoonsful of curry powder over a
pound and half of veal outlets. and
fry in butter; add the fried onions, a
pint of hot milk, a pinch of SALT and
two or three cloves; stew gently until
the liquor is boiled low. Just before
serving add the juice of half lemon.
Ten dollars worth of tilling may
redeem some swamps that will be worth
n hundred dollars year afterward. A
few days work strengthening up a
water course may give the use of an
acre or two of better land than can be
found elscwh ere on the place, which
has previously been occupied by the bed
of some winding stream.
Fish Pie: Take any firm eshed
fish, cut in slices, and season with salt
and pepper; let stand in cold place
for two or three hours, then put the
sliced fish in baking dish, with lit,
tie cream or water, and butter and flour
rubbed to cream, with minced parsley
and hard-boiled eggs sliced; line the
sides of the dish half way down, and
cover with a nice paste. Bake in an
oven, quick at first but gradually
growing moderate.
If the horse is not at extra fast OF
hard work, it is best to pasture il
when convenient through the growing
weather, unless flies and mosquitoes are
quite annoying; then it should be stabbed
during the day and turned out during
the night. If the grass is abundant
and of good quality, the horse will
eat enough during this time to support
it well, with the addition of hay and a
few quarts of meal at noon in the stable.
The remedy for pear blight con-
sists of one part of sulphur to five parts
of lime, with a small amount of carbolc
acid added. Sufficient water is used to
make q thin whitewash. This mixture
should be sprayed upon the trees al
intervals during the season, commenc.
ing as soon as the leaves appear. An
application shonld be made at the time
the trees come into blossom.

THE POULTRY BUSINESS.
Certain General Rules to BE Observed b
Those Engaged in 1t.

Certain General Rules to BE Observed by
Those Engaged in 1t.
The interest in poultry is increasing
in this section of the country, and as
it becomes better understood is one of
our most important branches of farm
production. No business on the farm
has been so fuctuating. There are in
this section many abandoned poultry
houses that have cost their owners many
hundreds of dollars each, yet there are
others who are erecting more sensible
houses and who are more certain of
success.
There is something queer about this
poultry industry. When Il man keeps
a little brood of fowls, say ten or
twelve, and ma kes them profitable, he
thinks he can increase his brood to one
hundred or two hundred with equal
profit. His reasoning seems perfectly
logical. If ten fowls will pay Il net
profit of $3.50 apiece annually, why
should not 100 fowls pay $3.50 and
1000 fowls pay $1,000 annually? What
ever the figures are. however, these
large broods do not pay the same pro-
portionate profit as the smaller ones.
The trouble consists in supDosing
that ] 900 fowls can be made as profit
able in proportion as ten, and perhaps
they could if one would give them the
same care, the same room aud range,
and the same relative feed. The or
binary poultry keeper will not do this
unless he makes it his business TO at
tend to his poultry yards and houses as
he would to any other branch OF bust
ness. 1t requires intelligent manage
ment and extra care in every depart
ment to achieve success.
Thus if the beginner decides to take
the fancy breeds and make his profit
from the sale of fancy birds, that is one
thing. If he decides to take some
standard variety, and depend on the
value of eggs for Matching, that is an
other thing. Again. if he decides to
raise chicks for broilers for the early
market, he must make his arrange
ments accordingly; and finally, if he
decides to raise poultry and eggs for
the general market and for family use,
he must select his fowls and arrange
their quarters with that intent.
Whichever branch of the business one
may take up. there are certain general
rules to be observed. The three essen-
tials are pure air, pure water and
proper food. There is no animal that
will polute ten cubic feet of pure air
us rapidly as Il full-grown fowl. There
is no animal that needs so much pure
water according to its size, and there
is no feature which eXcitcs so much dis
cussion as the proper food for fowls.
For the first four weeks the young
chicks need but very little food, and
that should consist Of bread-crumbs or
crushed crackers, boiled eggs or boiled
EGGS or boiled rice. and this should be
given sparingly. Many a fine brood Of
young chicks has been killed by kind
ness or overlooking. After the fourth
or fifth week there is no better feed for
regular diet than the whole grain of
every variety. In cold winter weather
a hot mash in the morning is beneficial,
especially for laying fowl.-Boston

The extraordinary scnsitiveness of
tea to odors was shown in New York
the other day. The ship brought Il
cargo of tea-and nothing else-from
China, and, upon testing the tea, it
was found to be sweet. The ship had
brought q cargo OF sugar from Manila
on the previous voyage, and though not
bit of it was left in the vessel, yet the
odor was sufficient to impregnato the
tea. A ease somewhat similar to this
occurred twelve years ago, when tea
was packed in the same hold with cam
phor. 1t is known that butter will
absorb odors equally rs well. The odor
of kerosene, for instance, and tobacco
and vanilla beans, are fully us sensitive
as any thing that is known to borrow
odors. Good Housekeeping.
