great tin roof OF the building was torn of
by the wind. With a scream Mrs. Corson
said to her complacent spouse:
"Oh, Hiram, come, do come. The last
day has surely come"
And the only response she got was the
drawling inquiry:
What, in the night?"
Friends ia Fair Weather.
The whole world loves the optimist.
Even the pessimist cannot but admire
him, much as he would prefer not to do
so. Ella Wheeler's lines beautifully por-
tray this thought:
Laugh, and the world laughs With yeu;
W ep, and you weep alone;
oe, and men will seek you;
GROVE, and they turn TO so;
They want full r1easUrs OF all your pleasure,
But they do not want your
Be glad, and your friends many;
be sad and you lose them all;
There are none 10 decline your nectsr'd wine,
But alone you must drink HES gall.
One of the humber newspaper poets
expresses the same thoughts thus:
The world doesn't care for your woes,
Nota BIT!
The man who is wise never shows
His foe
That he's hit.
Every one of your nsghbOrs has grieis of his own;
And he doesn't at all enjoy hearing you grosn,
So take warning and quit.
But it is not the real, tangible, and
hence comfortable troubles of today that
wear out the lives of men so much as it is
those vague, indefinite awful evils of
tomorrow. The present is brief and fleet
ing and can hold but little of sunshine or
shadow, but the far-reaching, intermin-
able future contains joys or sorrows
without end.
1t is the woes Of the latter class that
Afford Gleason describes in his poem
Our Average Troubles
One summer evening, long ago.
There came bird that none did know,
Aud the Ginko Tree said "Woe is me'
otis the Woggly Bird" said the Ginko Tree
"Ah, me! All, me! and woe is me,
It's the WoggIy Bird" said the Ginko Tree,
UEder the shade of the tree Il sat-
And built its NEST in the Ginko hat
And the eggs were laid that seemed 10 be
The eggs OF the foe of the Ginko Tree;
All, me an, me- they seemed to be
The eggs OF the Zoe OF the Ginko Tree.
'Trs most absurd, it's most absurdl
I'll not be fooled by the WoGgIy Bird"
The sad tree sang, and "Woe to me
why was born Ginko Tree
"Revengs is sweetr the GInko cried,
To stand upon his head he tried
But faIled, Tor he'd not been taught
When young to posture IS he ought;
All, me- all, me! he'd not been taught
When young TO posture as he ought.
So now the little Wogget's roost
AT least year ago they uSed)
Upon the brapch-if branch there be,
The branch OF the i'll used Ginko Tree.
All, me! ah, mel ii branch there be,
They rOost on the branch of the Ginko Tres.
MORAL.
There's no such thing as . Ginko Tree,
There's no such thing aud ue'er will be;
It's also true-though most absurd--
There's no such tn .ug a Woggly Bird.
All, me. ali, me! it's most absurd,
But there's such thing as a Wogyly Bird.

THE DAIRY.

Last year this country used three
hundred million pounds of butter for
soap grease because il was too poor to
be eaten.-Farm, Field and Stockman.
Il would have my cows come fresh
in September, because they can then go
through the winter when receiving the
best care. Their udder should be han
died daily from their infancy. SO that
milking will come as matter OF course.
breeding is the foundation, but care
and feeding are the completion OF
good cow.-t;ov. Heard
The ability and inclination to eat
any sort of sweet and wholesome food
is very valuabl point in cows IA
vor The Holstein cow is the most gen.
erous feeder in all the ranks OF dairy
animals She will make better use OF
rough forage than any other COW ex-
cept the Ayrshire. New Yorker.
The COW that gives rich milk is
nearly always preferred. but she is not
as valuable as the COW that yields milk
largely. The COW that produces butter
equal in quantity and quality to one in
the next stall and gives more milk is
doing greater service, and is conse-
quently more valuable.
All butter tubs should be soaked in
strong salt brine for two or three days
before packing and then filled with but
ter to within one-half inch of the top:
then cover with cloth and a paste of
fine salt and water. which should be
pressed against the tub SO as to exclude
air from the butter.
Many people are deferred from pro-
viding suitable buildings for the cows
and dairy products on account of the
supposed expense. Build the best you
can with your means and then stop.
But build something worthy the name

cows, for it will not pay.-Western

THE GIRLS or NiNETY-oNE.

They tell me twas the fashion.
Oh. long and long ago.
For girls to look like lilies white.
And sit at home and sew.
Forth strobe their sturdy brothers
On many a gall amt quest:
But the maids behind the lattice
Their weary souls possessed
To-day the times have altered
And pretty Kate and Nell
Are playing merry tennis
In sooth. they do ii well.
They ride across the country.
They climb the mountain side.
And with oars that feather lightly,
Along the rivers glide.
II they've not yet been TO college.
They are going b. and by.
To shake the tree OF knowledge,
Though its branches touch the sky.
For all their Greek and Latin,
And porting over books.
With faces smooth as satin.
They'll keep their dainty looks.
Do you want happy comrade,
In study or in fun:
BE sure you'll find her quickly
Mid the girls OF ninety one.
She'll keep that bright head steady
Unframed in any whirl.
And not a lad will love her less
Because she is girl.
