If we were asked to name the four
principles of success in dairy farming
they would be: Good dairy cows to
start with. winter dairying, cheap food
and plenty of it. The cap sheaf is a
man who has brains enough to know
that he needs knowledge. and e
enough to reach for it wherever he can
get it.
There is some difference of opinion
in regard to the best way Of drying off
a COW. As rule, it is rarely ever
necessary to take any special pains to
do this, but with cows soon to calve
whose milk is getting unfit for use in
the dairy. Bright timothy hay is
the best food for use; it keeps the COW
in food flesh, but is a very poor milk
food; consequently. cow soon dries
up, but does not lose in condition.
N. 7. Times.
A large proportion Of private
dairymen, who keep but a few cows.
do not skim their milk soon enough, or
they keep the cream standing too long
after Dreaming. It gets too sour, the
acid cutting out the fine iavoring oils,
and sometimes gets mouldy, so that
the butter when churned has a rotten
flavor and odor. If there is uncleanli-
ness, this fermentation and decay
come in all the more rapidly. So.
churn such cream as you will, as much
or as little. nothing but foul, ill
favored and short-lived butter can be
made from it.-American Dairyman.
Dairy farming furnishes aconstant
source Of income, says Ralph Allen.
1t enriches the land more rapidly than
any other branch of animal husbandry.
1t may be carried on with small capt.
tai without danger of being smothered
by larger establishments. 1t is profit
able on high priced lands, where other
cattle would not more than make good
rent. In short. dairy farming, like
every other branch of agriculture, has
advantages peculiar to itself, which
make it in many places and under
| many circumstances desirable and
remunerative employment.
The sooner dairymen get out OF the

When Erastus and Mrs. Parsons
reached the Slough, they found Lucy

her recovery was slow.
From the hour of her arrival, Lucy
mother became her nurse, waiting upon
and watching her with all mother S
solicitude, and the new demands thus
made upon her affections and sympa-
thies forced her in measure to with
draw her thoughts from the dead and
fix them again upon things Of this life.
and so very probably prevented her
from sinking into conaition where
morbid watchfullness for death, as the
only release from the memories Of the
past, would have slowly consumed her
life.
Then, too, there was the baby. A
wonderful baby il was. Ali babies are;

and grandmothers. Ii there was ever,
anywhere, an exception to this rule,

tainly this was not one. The youngster
was as fat as three-weeks-ol babies
ever are, and Of the same beautiful color.
He had a tine head of hair--in pros

little attempts to put his toe into his
mouth, which every body said was very
remarkable and showed wonderful

ever lived; so he was She first
thought of calling him Erastus, after
his father, but finally decided t. name
him John, after her own father aud
little crippled brother, now dead and at

baby was placed in the little wheeled cot

form more and more noticeable rs the
days went by.
When Lucy's health was finally re.
stored she again took up her round OF
household duties known to every farm

to do such portion as seemed a pleasure

in every way possible to till her declin-
