gladness that other presence brings
And yet, dear love. through all the weary days
You never speak one word of tenderness,
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own, in loving. mute caress.
You think, perhaps. 1 should be all content
To know well the sacred place hold
Within cur life, and so you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told.
You cannot know, when we two sit alone,
And tranquil though hts within your mind

Ny heart is crying like n tired child
Fer one fond look, one gentle. loving word

You only say: "How dear she is to ne!''
Oh, Could read it in your softened glance
How radiant this paia, old world would be.
Perhaps, sometimes you breaihea secretprayer
That choicest blessings unto me be given.

nearly Thirty feet; they vary in interior
diameter from the size of quill to three

FRUIT OF A SUNNY LAND.

Where Musk Melons and Grapes Grow on
Trees Like Peaches or Pears.
Did you ever hear of musk-mel Ions
and grapes that grow on trees.
There are in the tropics two varieties
of a fruit called the maniac. The trees
are about eight or ten feet high. They
have no branches. but a crown of large,
lOng-stemmed leaves.
The fruit is like yellow musk-me
or cantaloupe. and it is eaten with salt
and pepper In one variety it grows
close around the trunk of the tree. up
under the leaves. In the other kind
the melons hang on stems more than a
foot long. and are very sweet and rich
One Of the largest. handsomest shade
trees Of the tropics is the jaboticaba.
1t is tail and spreading. with small
leaves that grow in thick clusters. The
massive trunk and the limbs are very
smooth and of light brown color.
All over the trunk and larger
branches come out tiny flowers with
ont stems. They drop off to give place
to grape-like fruit. The skin is a
little tough, and it has but one seed. but

MILK OR FLESH.

The Necessity of Formulating the Food for
One or the other.
In that part OF Mr.. Pertains address
on the care and management Of stock. at
the Farmers Institute for the Eleventh
Congressional district, at Hamilton. in
relation to foods, he held that feeding
for milk is of especial Importance to
dairymen. for on the integrity of the
food rests not only the flow of milk.
but its power as containing the integral
quality to make the outcome profitable;
but that the same general rule will
hold good, however, with the breeder
and feeder for work or flesh
For instance, in feeding for milk, in
proportion to the lack of any one or
more of the constituents necessary to
form milk, in the same proportion will
be the diminished flow; for the axiom is
as true in feeding as in the cultivation
of the soil, that to ensure an extraordi-
nary crop all the constituents of the
crop must be held in excess by the soil,
and that in a condition of solubility;
and one essential being absent or even
low, the crop is deficient and often
failure. Hence the necessity of so form
ulating the food that it will conserve
the particular requirement sought.
1t is general rule, in feeding for
growth, that the food given shall hold
what chemists call one part of flesh
formers to three or four parts of fat
formers-starch, sugar, gum. oil, etc.
The flesh formers furnish nourishment
to the muscles, and the fat formers
heat-producing and lubricating ele-
ments to the animal system. In winter
feeding the fat formers should be in quar-
ter ratio than the flesh formers, and this
as rule in proportion to how much cold
the animal must be exposed to- But
here, again, the relative food as between
these must depend also upon the
amount of labor the animal is expected
to perform. In other words, the greater
the muscular exertion, the greater the
amount of flesh formers-what chemists
call the protein compounds-or that
which contains one of the forms of nitro
gen. one of the most costly elements in
agriculture.
Let us now examine what the fat of
animals is composed of: Simply forms
of carbon-starch, oil, sugar, gum. etc.
The oil seems identical in all. The
solid portions differ.
In man, in the goose, in butter and in
olive oil, it is called margarine. In the
solid portions of the fat of the horse.
the OK. the pig and the sheep it is called
stearine. The hair, horns, hoofs and
wool of animals are largely made up of
nitrogen in connection with the chlorides
and phosphates. These also hold about
five per cent. of sulphur in the form of
soluble and insolnble sulphates.-Orange

THE DAIRY.


Glover is one of the best-balanced
food products for cattle, the fat and the
musclc-forming elements being rightly
distributed.
Don't let a dairy meeting in your
neighborhood get away from you,
whether you know much or little about
the science of dairying Rural.
What careful observation will do is
well illustrated in the case of dairy
man in New York state. who. by cIimi-
mating from his herd all that fell below
his sta ndard of yield, is producing eight
forty-quart cans Of milk daily from
twenty-eight cows. lie has sometimes
secured the same quantity from twenty
one cows.
"A dairyman who thought his cow
did not pay for her feed, put her in a
stall and began feeding her for the
butcher. says an exchange. He kept on
milking her because he did not wish to
lose the little milk she gave. Very soon
the cow improved 50 much in milk that
he gave her more feed, and in return
she gave more milk, and SO the COW
kept on until before she was fat enough
to kill she had made more butter than
her meat would have been worth

| and percl,e,l themselves upon It's ridge.
This they did regularly after that every
| night.
One after another the chickens disap-
peared, until there came morning
| when only one hen was left. All day
long this one hen wandered about the
yard. keeping always with the guineas.
Toward evening my cousin and hap
pened to be out where we saw them as
they went to roost. The guineas flew
To their perch on the roof. and the hen,
after walking slowly back and forth in
the path went To her accustomed place.
But the guincas did not settle them
selves TO rest as usual. They
stood up and cackled at "A great
rate for two or three minutes. Then
they flew down and ran out to the hen
roost, where we heard another excited
cackling. In minute they came out
again with the hen between them. and
there seemed to be an earnest attempt
To coax her to come to their roOst. One
OF the guineas would run forward a
little and then back, and run forward
again and fly up on the perch, then back
to know what to do. and when third
OF the way on broke away and ran back
:" her roost. The guineas followed and
soon came out with her again. This
time when coaxing failed they tried
driving. and. getting between her and
the barn. made fierce demonstra-
tons whenever she tried to run
back. In this way the persistent
little things worked for nearly
half an hour. till by dint of coaxing
and threatening they got the hen to
their place and induced her to fly up
with them to the perch. As soon as
she flew up. they settled quietly down.
one on either side Of her: and this was
the roosting-p!ace Of the three for the
rest of the summer.
My cousin and | had watched the
whole scene with the greatest interest:
and we have ever since believed that
though chickens in general may have
mo sense those guinea hens surely
had and that they also had something
like the feeling of generosity and COM
passion and patience that for want of a
better name we call humanity. % +.
