There is nothing more beautifu

There is nothing more beautiful
in the young than simplicity Of
character. 1t is honest, frank, at
tractive. How different is affecta-
ton. The simple minded are al
ways natural, and at the same time
original. If those who are affected
ever had originality, they have
crushed it out, and utterly buried
it from sight. Be yourself. To at
tempt to be anybody else is worse
than folly. 1t is impossible to at
tain it. 1t is contemplate to try it..
But suppose you could succeed in
initiating the greatest man that ever
figured in history, would that make
you any better BY no means.
You would always suffer in compari-
son with the initiated one. and be
thought of only as a shadow OF a
substance, the echo Of real sound,
the counterfeit of a pure coin. A
genuine cent is worth more than q
counterfeit dollar and the smallest
man who is real is worth more than
the biggest fraud in existence. Let
the fabric of your character. though
ever so humble, be at least real.

second story window of his house,

Hundreds of mothers complain OF
this present system. Hundreds Of
fathers who have worked nard CON-
plain that they come home, not to
enjoy the society of wife or children
but to sit and play dummy while
Jack says his spelling. or Johnny

or, worse still, must come to the

interminable sums. Hundreds Of
tired, puzzled little brains which
have not received the proper ex-
plantations of lessons and rules at
school, look forward with absolute
dread to the evening at home, where
interruptions to study are so many
and the assistance, at best, unskill-
ed. That principal who will boldly
change this and inaugurate full and
careful explanations of lessons,
during study hours at school, and
spare the evenings to happy parents
and children, will make friends of
both and will reap the golden har-
vest that is waiting for just this
progressive, sensible man.

1t has been all that a great major
ity of people can do to earn COM
Portable living by hard work in all
ages and countries OF the world.
Economy and industry are both re-
quired, and the average reward is
not ''fortune,- only a living. The
aim has been in the past to make a
living. The modern idea to make
enough for two, three four or doz-
en- livings. A majority Of the peo-
will never do this. However much
we wish it otherwise, the truth is
worth telling in this very important

A WORD TO GRUMBLERS.

Don't be a grumbler. Some peo-
pie contrive to get hold of the prick
ly side of everything, to run against
all the sharp corners and disagree
able things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as well
make up your mind to begin with
that no one ever found the world
quite as he would like it, but you
are to take your part of the trouble
and bear it bravely. You will be
sure to have burdens laid upon you
that belong to other people unless
you are shirker yourself, but don't
grumble. Ii the work needs doing,
and you can do it, never mind about
that other who ought to have done
it and didn't. Those workers who
fill up the gaps and smooth away
the rough spots, and finish up the
jobs that others leave undone-they
are the true peacemakers, and worth
whole regiment of GROWERS.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The value of hen manure as fertil.
izer for small fruits can not be over
estimated, says correspondent Cur
rants and strawberry plants respond
quickly to its use in moderation.
THE man who props up overladen fruit
trees instead of picking off the over
abundant fruit sacrifices the future well
fare of his trees for the sake of a pres.
ent crop, which is often an inferior one
because the fruit has no chance to de-
velop, says the Michigan Farmer.
PLANTS like the aster, verbena, phlox
and pansy are benefited by transplant
ing once or twice, says Good Housekeep-
ing. It makes good stocky plants OF
them, while poppies, cand ytuft, mignon-
cite are tap-rooted and the seeds should
be planted in the beds where they are to
grow. Tap-rooted means that they have
one long root and but few short roots
while an aster, or pansy, has many short
roots near the surface which hold the
earth when they are taken up. After
the ground gets warm and tho cold
weather is really gone. the seedlings
can be set out in the beds. Choose a
cloudy day, or after the sun goes down,
for this work. Asters and verbenas
should be set one foot apart, and they
want plenty of room, After setting out,
water and shade when the sun is out for
three or four days, uncoRering at night.
If you wish ANIMALS to bloom we'll pick
off all faded flowers, and do not let them

duced that in two weeks from the
commencement Of this change skim
milk only will DO fed. The skim-milk
Is fed only when it is sweet, as when
sour It produces scours and injuries di-
gestion In other ways. The skim-milk
Is led at the temperature OF milk just
taken from the COW. In heating 1t q
portion Of the milk is put on the stove

the portions respectively set apart for

three times day for, say month,

sktm.milk, but less quantity is given
at noon, and If fed regularly they may
get all the skim-milk they will take
without injury to them.
When the change is being made from
new milk to skim-milk fax seed is
added to the milk. 1t is prepared as
follows: For two calves take half tea
cupful of fax at night, pour on two
quarts of boiling water, allowing it to
steep till morning. 1t is then warmed
and added to the milk; the quantity Of
the fax may be gradually but slowly in
creased until three.fourths of teacup-
ful Of flax seed, stepped in propol ton
ate increase of hot water, is given tc
each animal. The fax for the night
meal Is put to steep in the same way in
the morning. Milk is fed until tho
calves are seven or eight months old.
They should have access to all the clean
water they will drink at all times.
They get all the meal they will eat up
sists Of one-fourth ground peas, one
fourth ground oats, and one-half wheat
bran; this is mixed with good hay run
through cutting-box. The proportion
of the hay to the meal is increased as
the calves get older. Where meal of this
kind is not to be had, boys, give your
calves oats, which you may feed whole,
and you need not mix them with cut
hay. When autumn comes, oat sheaves
are sometimes cut in the chatter and
the meal mixture added, but not so
much of it in quantity as when the cut
oat sheaves are not fed. They get what
long hay they eat up clean in winter, and
gree food of almost any kind in summer.
They are kept in loose box stalls in the
stable all through the first summer,
which are kept dark in the season OF
flies. They may get good supply Of
sliced roots in the season for these.
