Thus 1t Now Reads: Go to the sluyyard,
Thou Ant.
There was certain woman that was
a sluggard She performed not the
duties OF her household as virtuous
housewife should; she rose not with
the lark. neither with the hen. nor
with the early bird that catcheth the
worm.
And she toilcd not day by day. but
worked when it pleased her; and when
it pleased her not, she loafed.
And she laid up no treasure of corn.
wine and oil. nor OF scarlet and fine
linen; she neither span nor wove.
baked nor brewed.
But she sat still a-dreaming and set
traps for sunbeams and lay in wait for
bright-winged thoughts and spent her
breath in words. mere words albeit
some were written down.
Then came the ant and built her
house near by, that the sluggaro might
come to her as was commanded, and
consider her ways and be wise.
Now, the ant was very numerous.
She built her house and stored it
with food and laid myriad eggs and
tended them. and her eyes stood out
with virtue.
Also. she knew 1t and marveled that
the sluggard came not to consider her
ways and be wise.
But the sluggard stayed at home
and minded her own business.
Than aroso Tho ouf orrua1 ,ps%l n
strong sense OF duty-for she could
wait no longer. knowing the exceed
ing sluggishness OF the sluggard.
And. truly, the ant was far more
numerous than the sluggard, but not
so big.
And the ant went into the house of
the sluggard and exhibited her ways
that the sluggard might consider them
perforce and be wise
And, verify, the sluggard did con-
slider the ways OF the ant--how she
ran up and down. continually doing
the same thing; how she took a hun
dred to consult over one crumb; how
she had no soul above her victuals
and her indistinguishable eggs which
were no improvement on their indis-
tinguishable mOthers and how she
abounded in the meal and the flour
and the sugar and tho molasses.
And the sluggard arose and gave
thanks for the wisdom that had come
OF considering the ways Of the ant
Aad she took of insect powder one
talent and laid it broadcast~in the ways
of the ant as she considered them and
the ant went from the house OF the
sluggard in a dust-pan. Wasp.

How bright the scene and fair
What merry music played
There's neither grief nor care.
: weary footprints made.
Liius sweetest roses grow.
And all the skies are blue.
And all The rivers pleasant tiow
Along the road to Prue.
My heart is gay and glad.
Ny feet how swiftly light;
There are no fountains sad
To murmur through the night,
No nigh,ingales to sigh,
No avenues of rue,
No grewsome talns To wander by
Along the road TO Prue.
Love rules the heart alone,
Nor Is it swayed in vain.
A hope that soul doth own
That cannot think of pain.
And JOY and peace and mirth
Are dreams outblossomed true;
i IT'S all of heaven and naught of earth
Along the road to lrue,
And when the journeys DER

To beautify the night.
And in her presence l
My golden dreams renew.
And bless the hour that babe mo fly

Cooked Fooi Tor swine.

II @ question for cooked or unlocked
food of SWINE is one that cannot De
decided by any narrow series o. en-
periments and the fact that farmers
are about equally divided regarding
the question. show that there is merit
and demerit in the results. Reasoning
from our own natures, we would I'M
hcsitatingly say that cooked food
would make not only the most but the
best pork. Nearly everything when
We eat is digested and assimiiated
better when it is cooked. Nature il
preparing her food for man and AMI
mails generally surrounds it by tough
fibrous substances. which can only be
masticated with difficulty. and then di-
gested at great expense of energy.
Cooking often softcns and moistehs
these coverings so that the stomach
is greatly helped in its work.
Pork is laid on the body OF swine
only according to the quantity OF food
which is digested and assimilated, and
not according to the quantity that Is
eaten. Many pigs are great feeders,
but they do not get fat. Ii is COM
mon symptom of dyspepsia and indl-
gestion to have Il ravenOus appetite,
but this does not make the person fat.
On the contrary, all of the food is
taken into the stomach to help over
load it, and no good results follow.
The majority of the experiments
have shown that cooked food thu; ben
efits swine, and that they improve
faster and fatten better when fed with
cooked food than when kept solely on
raw. But another point must be con-
sidered. Cooked food by aiding the
digestion also makes it possible TO
produce better pork. and the swine
shat have been properly kept in other
ways will have sweeter and iucier and
tendsrer pork for having had their
food cooked. The only question that
remains is. does this extra quality and
quantity of pork pay for the time and
trouble spent in cooking food? As
suredly it does in many cases, but
each farmer must decide that for him.

to cook the food when the arrange
ments are made for it on a large

About Churns.

Your correspondent, b. w. H.,
writes II. Stewart to the Country Gem
tleman, will find the wooden churn
the best under all circumstances if he
will only use it rightly. l have used
the wooden churns for thirty-1ive years
and never found any trouble such as he
complains of. They are made OF per-
fectly seasoned wood. quite free from all
woody flavor, and when properly used
they never shrink or swell. as H. says
his does, or become sour. The churn
l now have in use is nearly ten years
old, and as sound as when new. 1t is
on the care of churn that its durabil-
ity and perfect condition depend.
Perhaps your correspondent does not
know how a wooden churn should be
kept in use; his remark about summing
seems to indicate this at least / would
suggest the following way to him:
First procure a churn OF the best
make-1 know OF none OF metal. nor
would l recommend one of that ma.
terial--wood is the best and entirely
free from objections when properly
cared for. Before it is used let it be
well rinsed with boiling water and
drained then rinsed with cold water
and Immediately drained. 1t is then
ready for the cream. After churning.
it is thoroughly drenched with cold
water until it Is quite free from milk;
the crevices should be cleansed of all
remains of the cream. and after Il
thorough cleansing. boiling water is
poured in and the churn rotated sew
eral times quite briskly to reach every
part with the water 1t is then drained

shade, to air. When dry, it is put
away in the dairy and covered with a
clean cloth.
A churn should never be exposed to
the sun. There is no necessity for il.
1t is injurious and quite unnecessary.
The sunshine does no good; it is rath-
er injurious than otherwise. 1t checks
the wood. and instead Of protecting
the churn from injurious germs it en-
courages these by the exposure of the
churn to the air. which is always
charged with them Metal churns
have been used, but always with more
! or less objection. as they are subject
to rust and the acid of the cream pro-

/ tons to prevent it. the churn may be

Feeding.

Economy in feeding is not true econ
omy If it is done by attempting to re-
duce the allowance at the expense OF
production. Something cannot be had
from nothing. and animals will not be
productive if they are deprived of the
necessary materials pertaining to the
objects for which they are intended.
Feed literally, but without waste.

Sunhower seed ground is fully equal to
lnseed oilmeal as feed for stock.
With the exception of poultry drop
pings, sheep manure is the richest on the
farm.
Stunted animals of any class do not
make as good use of the feed given them
as do the more thrifty ones, even under
the same conditions.
The proportion of the different nutrients
needed by an animal, varies with the age
and the purpose for which it is kept, and
the class to which it belongs.
Any animal that does not make good
gain in proportion to the amount of food
supplied should be considered scrub,
whether native or imported.
1t is often the case that a variety of
wheat removed from distance requires
one or more years to become sufficiently
acclimated to do well. or course it is not
always the case.
If corn stalks can be run through feed
cutter they would make a good bedding
Otherwise they make fresh manure very
inconvenient to handle, and they are not
a good absorbent
In feeding, even with hogs, it is posi-
bic t. over-feed, and they will not do as
we'll as when fed just enough. At no time
should animals be fed more than they will
eat up clean at each meal
The earlier in an animals age full feed
ing can be resorted to the better, in order
to secure a rapid growth. This will near
ly always be found the case whether the
animals are raised for market or for
breeding
