THE FARM COW.
This II Good, Sensible Talk, and Farmer
Should Heed 1t.

This II Good, Sensible Talk, and Farmers
Should Heed 1t.
What shall we say is good farm COW?
We believe the term farm COW is good
deal better than general purpose COW,
for farm COW does mean something, and
the general purpose cow-as the term
is generally employed-means nothing.
There is widespread idea that the
farm cow differs materially from the
'.gentleman's'' cow, and she may and
often does. The gentleman" often
wants COW with certain marks and Of
certain fashionable breeding. If he
can get these things, and the COW gives
any milk at all, she is satisfactory.
But the farm cow is simply cow that
pays we'll for her keep. AS a COW the
principal purpose of keeping her-if the
purpose is intelligent for the produc-
ton of milk and butter and perhaps
cheese. We might just as we'll try to
get fine carriage and a hay wagon in
one as to attempt to get the best beef
producing animal and the best milk
producing animal in one. We should
proceed in the selection and breeding of

in our mind, and that is that when a
good, profitable mich cow is old enough
to turn of, the price that we shall get
for her carcass-of whatever breed she
may be-will never make us rich. The
market is not grooming for old COW beef.
A good fairly representative cow Of
any Of the dairy breeds is good farm
COW. Farmers sometimes turn up their
noses at the little Jersey, and we have
heard them irreverently call her goat.
Well, a good herd Of Jerseys has never
failed to pay yet, if it was properly man.
aged, and never will. The wild advo-
Gates of other breeds have sometimes
denounced the ''thin'' milk of the Hol-
stein-Friesian, but fairly representa-
tive herd of this breed will always give
good satisfaction, and the ''thin'' milk
will be found to be plenty ''thick"
enough. The farm cow is the cow that
will pay at the pail and at the churn;
and that is all the question there is to
be settled in the selection of cows

HEINE AND NAPOLEON.
Political Events That Left Indelible Traces
on the Poets Mind.

Political Events That Left Indelible Traces
ON tho Poets Mind.
Although Harry Heine, for 50 he was
originally named, has left US many
charmingly comic as we'll as serious pict-
ures Of the times when he was boy,
and of the political changes undergone
by his native State, it is not easy to
write q connected account of his early
years. The French influence predomin-
ated out of doors; at home he was
brought up in a careful observance Of
the Jewish traditions. Both left indeli-
Bile traces on his mind and character.
To the oppressed people of Israel, now
at length declared equal before the law
with their Acknowledgment, Napoleon
appeared like the long-expected Mes
few were still taught to look for.
Patriotism, II we mean thereby devotion
to the institutions of the holy Roman
Empire, was hardly to be supposed in
mon whom its laws denounced after the
tyrannous fashion of the imperial
jurists, Non Hcet esse cos. There had
never been time in the remembrance
of the German Jews when they were not
liable to be plundered and prosecuted.
The miserable record of suffering
reaches down to the days of Leasing.
And Nathan the Wise might have
allnded to things perpetrated in the
eighteenth century as demonstration
plain of the spirit in which so-called
Christians still regarded the children of
Israel, and of the calumnies repeated
against them age after age by ignorance
and prejudice. They were not only ex-
communicated, but socially ostracised.
Their schools, their books, their yerv
existence as religious people, were al
ways in danger. There was no Justice
for them and little mercy. Bearing
these things in mind, we can not be as
tonished that man who with the sword
OF Charlemagne, as he said, in his right
hand, proclaimed liberty, equality and
fraternity; who invited the Jews to take
their place as French citizens in con-
quering empire, and who beat down
their enemies, whether Ritterthum or
Ptafenthum, under his feet should have
reused the keenest enthusiasm in peo-
pie to whom hero worship is the grand
est OF traditions. Napoleon was to be
their Moses and their Judas Maccabseus.
He had set them free from the yoke of
the Gentiles; and though he laid heavy
contributions on the cities in which they
dwelt, and did not spare them any more
than the rest Of mankind, they were con-
tent, knowing that medieval ignorance
and terocity could not hurt them while he
ruled. 1t was not only change of serv-
itude; it was the end Of dismal epoch
which had lasted from the days of Titus
and Hadrian. No wonder that they ad-
dressed the new Emperor in the lam
guage Of the prophets, with high felicita-
ton, and warmth that knew no bounds.

CATARRH.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that thew
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose ana
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated Whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patientonce in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt Of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon & Son, cor. of John

nlmsel1 down, ana hung Dy his hands,
but his feet found no resting-plac He
drew himself up again and sat down to
think.
The thought of turning back never
| once came to him; this thing had been
undertaken, and it was to be carried
through-Tony did not say to himself,
''if possibility simply meant to do it.
Where he sat the coal was crumbled
up, and his hand played unconsciously
among the loose pieces.
| Suddenly he remembered once seeing
his father drop stone down ''cave-in,"
and that his father had said it was a
| very deep hole, because of the long time
they had to wait to hear the stone touch
bottom. So he took bit of coal in his
hand, held it over the ledge and dropped
it. Instantly there came back little
sharp clink that sounded very near.
Not moment was to be lost. Again
he let himself down by his hands, took
long breath, let 60, and fell-about
four inches.

off any higher lodges. The floor still
sloped downward, and Tony almost
! walked on his head as he crawled along.
Presently he bumped upagainst another
pillar, or was it the side wall? He felt
carefully along for some distance, and
decided that it was the wall; then rising
up from his knees, which was cramped
and cut, he ventured to walk, or rather,
creep, feeling the wall all the while
with his hands, which gave him Ger
tain sense of security.
But he yet felt as II at any moment
he might step into hole, and he did
step into deep pools Of water, getting
wet up to his knees, and sometimes he

food.
When Tony reached daylight again,
he was dreadful looking object. His
face was covered with a compound of
coal-dust, tears and blood; his clothes
were battered and soaking wet, and the
hand which clenched the ring was
nearly skinned.
He looked about dazed by the light,
and with the strange bewildering sensa-
ton of being in a new world which al
ways comes to one at the first instant
after emerging from dark, underground
places. Soon, however, he got his bear
ings, and saw to his delight the carriage
standing by the breaker, and the party
just alighting and preparing to descend
the shaft.
They had driven slowly, stopping
often to admire the views, and so had
taken twenty-five minutes to accom-
plish distance of mile and half;
twenty-five minutes that had been as
twenty-five hours to Tony in his under
ground passage!
When he reached home. taking the
ravine this time, he looked to see his
mother watching for him with a stick,
but she only ran and fell on his neck
and kissed him, weeping as if he had
been the prodigal son returning.

lady said when he gave back the RUG.
