HER SMILE HIS SUNLIGHT,

bwe,theart, when rhymes l make
For your dear sake,
You bring
Into your face smile
70 cheer mo while

Like to that bird am I,
Which, when the sky
At night
A deeper azure grows,
No longer knows
Delight;
Or like of Towers that one
Which loves the sun
And gives
The hesuty of its bloom
To him for whom
1t lives.
Pleasure nor joy to bless
Have unless
Your face
Over my paper shines
And lights the lines
With grace.
For mo your smile is day
The golden ray
That climbs
Imagination's wall
And sweetens all
My rhymes.
For yea the birds song, this
The flowers fresh kiss
And breath;
Nor may their nightfall come
Till both are dumb
In death!

Thermometers.

A thermometer is made and adjusted
by heating water to the boiling point,
placing the glass bulb in the boiling
water and then filling it with mercury,
spirits or ether till it rises in the tube to
ala degrees-the boiling point. The
freezing would answer the purpose
equally we'll for adjusting thermometer,
but it is not used, because temperature
of a12 degrees is much more easily OBJ
tanned than one of thirty-two degrees.
There are three thermometrical scales
in general use in different parts of the
world. All English-speaking people
make use of scale invented by Ger
man by the name of Fahrenheit, and
named after him. The Germans tell
whether it is warm or cold by scale in
vented by and named for Frent hman
named Rcaumur, while the French,
Italians and others ascertain the temper
aturc by scale founded upon the metric
system and called Centigrade,

Raising TurnipS.

A piece of newly cleared land, rich in
decayed vegetable matter, is, without
doubt, the best of all for turnip
crop, and on such ground If not sown
so thickly as to hinder their growth,
very little is required beyond getting it
into fine mellow condition for recev-
ing the seed. In this respect, for thin
ming out afterward, whether sown in
this manner or in drills, is not only
troublesome, but is disturbing to the
plants that remain. The seeds are so
very small that iii quite difficult to sow
only the right amount. think them a
much more useful crop than many do,
for they can be fed to stock to great ad-
vantage after other green food has be-
come scarce. Their value as a table
vegetable is well-knowu, aud the best
varieties for that purpose can usually be
sold so as to make it profitable to devote
a small plot every year to their cultiva-
ton. Quite often they can be made a
second crop, and they succeed en- any
clean, well-prepared rich land, and are
not injured by light frosts.-Neao York.

1t does not require much more time to
take care of hundred sheep at this
season than it does for one or two cows.
yet they need to be looked after every
day. They need fresh water where they
can go to it when they please. Sheep
drink but little at a time, but drink
often, when not feeding upon green
grass or eating roots. They need fresh
bedding frequently. They need shed
that will protect them not only from
snow and cold lain, but from drafts of
cold air. The sheep shed should be open
upon the south side to admit the sun
light and T. allow of the escape of the
eifiuvia from the manure under them,
but it should be protected by board
fence high enough to shelter them from
the wind when lying down.
They should also be looked after each
day, and if there are any weakly ones,
or any that are not doing well, they
should be separated from the main flock
and given little better care and better
food. No domestic animals are more
cruel to sick companion than the
sheep, and when one is unable to make
its way good among the rest, i. will
be kept away from the feed rack, and
made target for the butts of Its COM
panions, until death releases it. They
should have exercise every day, when
they can take it without getting the
wool filled with snow or rain. 1t is not
the cold that Injuries them. so much as
the extra weight they have to carry
when they get wet through to the skin.
Sheep also seem to dige-t and obtain
nutriment from frost-bitten grass and
from browsing bushes, and thrive better
when they have q chance to do this

The Hot-Bed Sash.

Those living in the close neighborhood
of the city have some excuse that they
have no need for hot beds to advance
crops ahead of the usual time, as every
thing is brought to their doors. But the
farmer, and those not so accessible, or
who have not the money to pay out
daily for everything that may he in the
market, had better make use of this old
fashioned help to the gardener hot
bed. There are very few vegetables
that will stand days of travel and cx-
posure, and he as tasty as those grown
on ones own grounds or in ones own
neighborhood. They answer good
purpose for the million, and to those
who know no better, are satisfying; but
those who have the facilities to grow
something of their own, or who live
away from the general markets, may, if
they so elect, have something better.
In the South, the hot-b bed time will be
at hand; it will gradually travel North,
and to be in time when it does come,
those who have hot-beds should paint
up and get ready. Those who propose
to begin their use should be looking out
for ways and means. The sash part is
now very cheaply made by manufacture
ers; the box itself any handy man Can
make. The only other article wanted
for starter is the horse manure for heat.
A couple of sashes can be made to grow
a large quantity of things, such as early
cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, tomatoes,
eggplant and peppers. Room should
be left to propagate few slips from
the window plants for the flower garden
in summer and there should be sow.

Value of Corn Fodder to Dairymen

Value of Corn Fodder to Dairymen.
OF course no more can be in the silo
than is put in, and analyses of ensilage
SO far show that there is little, if any,
gain in the digestive value of food from
SLIDING. The feeding experiments and
analyses made at the New Jersey, Wis
consin and other agricultural expert
ment stations show that SLIDING, very
slightly, if at all, increases the palatabil-
ity or actual value of corn fodder as
food. If equal quantities of corn fodder
are taken and one well cured and the
other sliced, they are equally well
eaten by cattle, and the products are
of substantially the same value. Hence
the popularity of the silo and of SLIDING
largely rests on the more economical
preservation of the fodder; and the de-
gree of that popularity shows plainly
that our methods of dry curing corn
fodder were so wasteful that we realized
only fraction of its value. Professor
Henry has found by actual trials that a
good Wisconsin yield of fodder from
one acre Q2, $50 pounds with 1850
pounds of bran and $3.50 pounds of corn
meal, will make 500 pounds of butter,
with cows capable of making $50 pounds
of butter per year. The prices of meal,
bran and butter will vary with the To-
caity, but in few cases they will be such
that computation on the basis of the
above statements will not show that the
fodder has surprising value. If the
silo has shown us the real value of corn
fodder, the study and money put in silos
and SLIDING have been well spent, and
the information gained worth its cost. -
