One pof the best and most useful
foods for general purposes for the
farmers to- have on hand is finseed
meal. For rearing calves it is not ex-
celled, when mixed with skinned
milk. and it comes into frequent play
as constituent OF the food Of almost
all OF our domestic animals. It con-
tains about twenty per cent OF al
buminoids or heterogeneous matter, with
about nineteen per cent. of carbohy-
drates. Those who have never used
it will do well to give it trial. Once
introduced .on the farm, the farmer
will seldom do without it.

Good Manners Are Thoughts Filled With
Kindness and Refinement.
4 Be rude to none; rudeness harms
not even the humblest and poorest to
whom it is directed, but it Injuries the
exhibitors.
Never urge another to do any thing
against his desire unless you see
danger before him.
Always give preference to elders,
visitors and superiors. Offer them the
best place at the table, the best place
by the. fire and the first OF every
thing. Go farther than mere form and
see that-theyare comfortable and
happy.
Be not ostentatious in dress or de-
portment; nothing can be more vul-
gar. See that costumes fit the time
and occasion.
Never try to outshine. but to please.
DO not ask another to do what you
would not be glad to do under similar
circumstances.
Do not make witticisms at the ex-
pense OF others which you would not
wish to have made upon yourselves.
Never talk or laugh aloud in public
places or upon the street.
Never treat superiors with servility
nor interiors with arrogance. Speak as
kindly to day-laborer as to one occu-
plying high position.
Never needlesslyawound the vanity
of another or dilate unnecessarily upon
disagreeable subjects
Never intrude ill health. pains,
losses or misfortunes.
Never omit to perform kind act
when it can be done with any reason
able amount OF exertion.
Never unavoidably wound the feel
ings of a human being.
Never forget that vulgarity has ita
origin in ignorance or selfishness.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filed with kindness and re-
finement, and then translated into be-
hayior. Good Housekeeping.
