The past and the future are nothing

Rise from your dreams OF the future.

Sad or bright she is lifcless forever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back save TO learn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.

THE DAIRY.

-Whftewash in the cow stable makes
things look cheerful and is in the dirsc-
ton Of cleanliness.
Colonel Curtis says: 'The future
dairyman must make pound Of butter
from twenty pounds OF milk" ~.
No man who understands the dairy
business ever sells his best cows 1t any
price. The better the dairymen the
more suspicious the buyer should be OF
the cow he wants to sell.
The Jersey Bulletin concludes that
. Jersey COW which does not make .
pound Of butter from less than twenty
pounds Of milk is not fair represent
alive Of the breed, provided she is prop
erly fed and cared for.
In reply to inquiries the Rural New
Yorker has obtained expressions from
various experts to the effect that there
is as much difference in samples Of cream
rs in the cows and the milk from which
the samples come.
Milk is an animal secretion. The
secretory action of the milk glands de-
ponds upon the nervous system, any de-
rangement Of which interferes with milk
secretion. Hence the Importance of
treating the cow kindly, as ill-treatment
disturbs the nervous system, and both
lessons the flow of milk and reduces its
quality.-Hoard's Dairyman.
One can not learn too much about
dairying. There are many details, and
1t is very easy to make mistake. The
hes: dairymen succeed only by giving
the business close attention and study.
Each individual animal requires par.
ticular management, and success de-
ponds upon q faithful observance OF
every requirement.
This is good suggestion from -
English exchange: by all means, let us
have linseed cake made from clean seed,
free from injurious and non-feeding
weed seeds. also in fresh wholesome
condition, but do not put an unreasona.
BILE value upon the actual percentage Of
oil, and let the general character Of the
cake and its composition, as shown by .
full analysis. regulate the market value.
Test the cows by the amount Of food
you have on hand. That is, given sc
much corn fodder or hay as the case may
be and SO much ground food, and let
that be what it will, so long as it makes
reasonably well-balanced ration, what
will each cow make in the shape Of but
ter or cheese out of that food? This
may not be and it is not the prevailing
method of testing cows, but in the end
testing is bound to come to this. and the
first man that appreciates the absolute
condition Of the dairy will be the coming
hero. American Dairyman.

WINTER DAIRYlN0.


Taking All Things Int0 Consideration, II
Pays Handsome Profits.
There is growing demand for fresh
winter-made butter. Our systems de-
mands richer food in cold weather thar
in warm, in order to maintain the nor.
NAL temperature Of the body, and many
persons are able to assimilate heat, o.
fat-producing food in the form Of butter
who can not take in any other. What
the city consumer wants to know is that
he is getting pure, honest, bona fde but
ter, and when q certain dairy farm sup.
plies him during winter with q nice,
fresh article, he is pretty sure to order
it sent on through summer. A city mar
likes regularity; he not only wants his
butter to come punctually every week.
but he even wants it the same day OF
the week, and he likes to see it pre-.
cisely the same color. and have 1t sea.
soned exactly the same way.
There is no other article of every day
consumption that is capable of taking AZ
many different havors as butter, and
when one has learned to like certain
favor he is 10th to accept any other
When the dairymen cultivates punctual
habits, and learns to make his butter Of
a uniform quality day in and day out,
then he will be able to keep the same
customers year after year, and his bust.
ness will stand upon solid basis.
Taking all things into consideration,
butter can be made as profitably, and
with as little trouble, in winter as in
summer, the price realized in cold
weather being greater, and when con.
yenient and comfortable houses are pro
yided for man and beast the work Is not
necessarily more unpleasant even in the
most severe weather. In fact, those ex.
perienced in the business declare that
they would rather make butter in win.
ter than in summer, that 1t Is easier to
ripen the cream properly and to make
the butter Of good uniform quality.
As rule the same cows will give
richer milk in winter than in summer,
provided always that they are furnished
with the foods requisite to make the
butter from. Winter-raised calves also
make finer mich cows, as they take more
readily to all kinds of food. This places
the food consumed more under the con.
troll of the feeder, and by feeling their
dependence upon him the calves acquire
docility that lasts them all their lives.
And after having passed the first six
months of their lives under the careful
guardianship of the herdsman, the fall
calves meet the spring grass at an age
when they are able to eat it as an all
food, and thus they have . twelve
months growth without that break
which spring calves have when weaned
from milk in the fall and put upon dry
food.
The spring calf has plenty Of grass in
the pasture when it is too young to use
it. and is obliged to subsist upon dry
food in winter, when it first becomes OF
age to gather its own living in the pas.
ture. Another benefit derived from
winter dairying is that it keeps the
herdsman in almost constant contact
with his stock, and when his cows are
yielding daily income they are sure to
be we'll provided for, and will come
through hard winter in good condition
for spring grass.-H. c. Dudley, in
American Cnltivator.

A Braves Boys Medal.

A little black boy on the Senegal
river, in Africa, is the proud possessor
of . gold medal sent to him by the
French Minister of Marine and the
Colonies. The boy is now twelve years
old, and the act which has received this
token Of recognition from the French
Government occurred when he was only
nine. He lives near Bakel, the chief
town, far inland, on the upper Senegal,
and he witnessed some Of the stirring
scenes three years ago, when the Mar
about Lamame laid waste large dis.
trict and gave French interests in upper
Senegal such lively shaking up. One
day he was with his mother in their
straw hut when he saw some of the Mar
ab0ut's soldiers set fire to some hnts
near by, and then started to apply the
torch to his own home. He picked up
his fathers breechloader, and though he
was not strong enough to hold the
weapon to his shoulder, he shot two of
the soldiers dead, and the others ran for
dear life. The incident was mentioned
in the Official reports on the French
campaign against the Marabout, and the
boy now has medal to show what .
plucky nine-year-old he WAS.

Politics and Justice.

Politically the great Wordsworth
was a Conservative. He loved the En-
glish Church and State. Il would Law
down my life for the Church." said he
to Coleridge. He disliked change, and
had . horror of reform. But. though q
Tory in party politics, he was a Liberal
in heart.
Il have no respect whatever for the
Wings" he ono said to Crabbe Robin
son, "but / have q great deal OF the
Chartist in me-" The Chartists were
the political radicals of his time.
An anecdote, told by Lord Coleridge,
shows the poets sympathy with the
people.
Sir John Coleridge, the father Of the
present Lord Chief Justice OF England,
once accompanied Wordsworth on q
visit to Lord Lonsdale. At q certain
point in the road the poet proposed to
Sir John that they should leave the Q r
riage and walk the rest of the way
through the woods. While crossing q
field by q disused track, Sir John OBJ
served q blank wall at the opposite side,
with no gate nor stile. and asked il they
were in the right path.
@Yes,a replied the poet. @you will
o see." Upon reaching the loosely
built wall, he put his foot against It,
and made Q breach sufficient to let the
two men pass through.
there used to be q right-of-way for
the people here, time out of mind" said
Wordsworth, "but the land has been
recently bought by Lord, and he
has closed this ancient footpath against
the people. / am determined, however,
to have it kept open, SO far as / am
able, and will walk no other way TO the
castle. I wouldn't be surprised II We
met Lord - tonight at the castle,
and, If so, / shall let him know what /
think of his action"
Lord -- was there, and after din
ner referred to the Radicals who broke
down his wall, and entered his grounds
without permission.
Il am the person, my lord" said
Wordsworth, who broke down your
wall, and I shall do it again; for there
is a ancient right of way through that
field, . right Of the people, and / am
determined to maintain il. You bought
the property with that right attached
TO it, and Conservative as lam, scratch
me thus, and you will find the Radical
