Farmers generally do moi. yet fully ap'

If hen lays one egg a week she will
pay all expenses of keep. Every egg
over is profit. The greater the number
of eggs secured the lower the cost Of
each egg proportionally:;
Always assert your eggs. Do not
have several colors and sizes together.
Put the dark eggs in one basket and the
light ones in another, and pick out the
small ones to be sold separately.
In relation to tests in breeding and
feeding stock, a member of one of the
societies remarked that they were gcncr-
ally of little practical value to the great
mass of farmers who own from 40 to so
and 160 acres.
The profits of dairying are made up Of
the small daily savings of the difference
between the cost of production and value
of the milk or butter. A saving of ten
cents per day in a herd of fifty COWS
amounts to S.; in q month to $3.50.

Black Teeth in. Animals.

1t is q common delusion that black
teeth is a disease, but they are simply
the consequence of disease. In the case
referred to, feeding to excess with sour
buttermilk was the cause of the disease,
and the disease was disturbance of the
digestive organs, a sour stomach, as it is
COMMONLY called, by Which s'the @enatiel
of the teeth is decomposed and turned
black. For the wholesome feeding of
any animal a certain variety of food con-
tanning requisite elements of nutrition is
indispensable. These elements consist of
matters containing nitrogen compounds
in the ratio of one part, with matters
containing corbon compounds in the
ratio of five and one-half parts. Butter
4filFE contains t&o andtonei half partsfoS
the latter to one of the former, a ratio
far out of the balance and wholly unfit
for hcalthful feeding. Whey is better
food in this respect, containing six and
one-half parts of carbonaccous elements
(but of an Objectionable kind, being too
aciD to one of nitrogcnous. If butter

food, it may then be fed without

How One Should Live.

To be honest, to be liind-to earn a
little and to spend little less;.to make,
upon the whole, family happier for his
presence; to renounce when that shall be
necessary, and not to be embittered; to
keep a few friends, but these without
capitulation-above all, on the same
grim condition, to keep friends with
himself-here is q task for all that {
man has of fortitudc and delicacy. He
has an ambitious soul who would ask
more; he has hopeful spirit who should
lookap SUI an enterprise to be success

Hair Balls in Stomachs.

Hair balls are found in the stomachs
of cattle of all ages, and in sheep. and
goats. They are produced by the
animals licking themselves or one
another, and swallowing the hair that
IS loosened in this way. The hair enters
stthe ifolds:$of the rctieulen, the second
stomach, where the peculiar movement
of this organ soon forms it into a ball,
which, as the time passes, grows larger
by accumulation. These balls vary in
size, from one inch in diameter up to
three inches or even more. We have
seen one which was formed in the
stomach of buffalo and was five inches
in diameter. In some cases these present
a rough surface, hair sticking out all
over them, and in Others they are smooth,
having been longer in the stomach,
sSherth hey E,*e.sshecn:;coats4 oyer with
salts of lime, etc. 1t is not always easy
to determine whether these balls arc
present. They cause indigestion, and
the animal shows dcpravcd appetite.
Frequent attacks of collie are often the
result of these concrctions in the stomach.
No way has yet been found for re-
moving them, and where they increase in
size rapidly they sometimes prevent the
passage of food into the intestines and
cause the death of the animal. al.-Picayune.

The Tools Of Animals.

Animals do not know enough to make
their own tools, as men can, and God
has given them ready-made ones. The
tail of a fish is his sculling oar. He
moves it first on one side and then on the
other, using his fins as balances to guide
his motion. If the fish moves fast and
wants to stop, he straightcns out his fins.
lust as the rover does his oars. A man
makes a tool for drilling wood, but the
woodpecker has a drill in his own bill,
and when he drills holes in trees in search
of food you can hear the click of his
tool just as YOU would the mans. This
drill of the Svoodpeckcr's has another
tool inside, sort of insect catcher. On
the end is bony thorn with sharp teeth
like barbs offsa fish hook. AS he works
and finds an insect he opens his drill and
sends out this barbed tongue and draws
it into his mouth. Some animals have
tools to dig with. The hen digs for her
self and her chickens. The pig uses his
snout and roots away under the mud.
The elephant uses his strong tusks, and
the queer underground galleries of the
mole are made with his heavy claws, with
which he Dlows and digs. The wood
chuck, too, is a great digger. His feet
are shovels to dig the hole where he lives
and the beaver uses his broad, flat tail as
the mason does his trowel, scattering and
smoothing the mud as he builds the walls
of his cabin, while his sharp, powerful
teeth are his saws, with which he gnaws
off large branches of trees to build his
dams. There is no limit to Gods power
in supplying the needs Of the creatures
he has made.-[Picayune.

Winter Pastures,

One of the great mistakes made by
many of our farmers is that of over
stocking their pastures. Too many have
an idea that they should be kept bare the
season through, and especially that all
grass must be eaten up by October, or
at latest November. There is nothing
that pays better than to let field Of
blue grass grow up during the summer,
and when other pastures arc eaten up,
Say about November, ,>tmn<the stock in
and let them Craze it, thus saving all
expense of cutting and stacking the grass
as hay. Experience has proved that,
acre for acre, it is worth more than any
acre of hay cut and put into barn.
Stock will cat it and do well at any time
the snow is off the ground.
There is nothing that will so deplete
profits as over-stocking. 1t is much bet
ter to have some grass left on the field
than to starre your stock. As rule
farmers are carrying too much stock on
their farms, yet we find here and
there one that has more grass than cat
tie. In such cases we always find good
stock, and when sold they bring good
prices; while the overs stocked farmer has
poor cattle, and gets poor prices. A
winter pasture, once tried, will be re-
peated. Less stock and more clear profit,
should be our motto.-Prairie Farmer.

A Costly Error.

An architect in Berlin has just received
a criminal sentence on account of an
error in Judgment, by which the lives
Of workmcn were lost. The architect in
question, NJ. Hitler, had designed a
hospital, with Il terra-cotta cornicc. The
upper members of the cornice overhung
considerably, and the problem of
supporting it, which is always a serious
one with projecting members of terra
Gotta, was solved by laying an iron plate
on the lower portion of the cornice, held
down bv bolts three feet long, placed six
feet apart, near the ba'k edge of the
plate, aud extending down into the
backing of the cornice, which was
composed of brickwork II inches thick.
The terra Gotta blocks for the upper
portion of the cornice, which projected
Il inches from the face of the wall, were
delivered irregularly, and were set in
place as they arrived. Apparently, this
preyepted tying thom properly togethsrk.

ground with it nine workmen, of whom

The Fountain in Parma.

In the square close by is a statue to
Parmeggianino, of recent workmanship,
and a drinking fountain. There are but
two OF three shoots of water in Parma
but even that is more than one can find in
most Of these plain towns, and, especially
to the traveller who has just left Switzer-
land, the loss Of running water is great.
No Swiss village is so mean, no town SO
crowded, but from an unpretending iron
pipe there gushes forth, pellucid, glitter
ing and opulent, a'stream of the freshest
water, which leaps in a joyous and elastic
curve into a basin with a gay fash by
night and by day, and pours off with I'M
grudging profusion.
But in these Lombard towns scarcely
here and there can be found a numbering
pump, with long and massive handle, at
which few minutes severe toll produces
a mighty poor and niggard dribble of wa
ter. Where fountains are they prattle
with a fatigued and parsimonious note
and shelter their inSNequacy under some
statue in the modern taste. AS rule the
modern taste in Italy is not one whit bet
ter than in England. They delight TO
honor the martyrs and heroes Of United
Italy. No town but has its Cors0 Wit
tOriO Emmanuel and its Via Cavour,
with, for the most part, statues of the
same. Here and there is Via Massimn
d'AZeglio with no statue. These vOSSs Of
