Down on one OF the most obscure piers
he paused. and with gesture of despair
stepped toward the edge of the pier, and
looked down into the water
Then he Strengthened up, and in auoth-
er moment would have flung himself over
into the river; bnt one of the men, who was
standing in the shadow of a warehouse,
called out in a quiet but firm voice:
my brother. if you are in trouble, will
you let me help you?"
At the words my brother" the man
trembled, started back, covered mis- face
with his hands, and staggering against
the pier, burst into sobs so awful that the
man who had taken it upon himself to
rescue him from death could not say an
other word for several minutes.
Finally he learned in broken ejacula,
tons the man story.
1t was not new. Only a wife and child
ern in a wretcned tenament, no work,
rent due, children crying for food. wife
sick, no friends. That was all. A very
common story.
Il was going to drown myself" he
said. 81 don't know but what that will
be the best thing to do after all"
But the one who had called him found
work and home for him. By the magic
of kindness. which levels all false dis
tinctions, he won his hayward heart and
made him hope again.-Charity.

German
Syrup"

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen Il
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, presume, :
more than a hundred different per-
sons 70 take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
IN the market" q

Is. Generally speaking, as milk flow
shrinks, the percentage of solids increases,
but the gross amount of solids decreases.
Cows in calf change quality and quantity
of milk more rapidly than farrows, and
cows in pasture less rapidly than when
corn fed.
IA. One seasons experience indicates
the following as true for the Station
herd: In changing from barn to pasture
feed of equal feeding value, the quality
Of milk changes differently in different
animals, there being usually gain in
per cent. of solids, casein and sugar, and
loss in per cent. of fat; the gross
amounts of the ingredients almost inyari-
ably increase. Animal Individuality
plays SO large part in the marked change
from barn to pasture feeding that the
statement of the nature of the change in
quality of milk should not ne taken as of
general application. Further WORK in
this line is being carried out by this sta
tion.

FARM AND HOME.
MISSING GOODBY.

A kiss he took and a backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter:
A trifie, you say, to color day,
Yet the dull, gray morn seemed brighter,
For hearts are such that a tender touch
May Danish look Of sadness;
A small, slight thing can make US sing,
But frown will check our gladness.
The cheeliest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in a moment of blindness.
We can bravely face life in home where strife
No foothold can discover,
And be lovers still. if we only will,
Though youths bright days over.
All. sharp as swords cut the unKind words
That are far beyond recalling:
When a face lies hid meath a coffin lid,
And bitter tears are falling.
We fain would give half the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning:
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When we part in the light of morning.

A Good Reputation to Have.

A young man had volunteered, and was
expected daily to be ordered to the seat of
war. One day his mother gave him an
unpaid bill with money, and asked him to
pay it. When he returned home at night
she said:
Ibid you pay that bill?"
EYES," he answered.
In a few days the bill was sent in a
second time.
Il thought she said to her son, ''that
you paid this. :"
81 really don't remember, mother; you
know I've had so many things on my
mind"
"But you said you did"
WELL he answered, eff I said l did,
I did
He went away, and the mother took the
bill herself TO the shop. The young man
had been known in the town all his life,
and what opinion was held of him this
will show.
II am quite sure" she said, "that my
son paid this some days ago.
well said the man, Il forgot about
it; but if he ever said he did, he did, and
we will take his word for it..

They met and strolled the path they took
Wound southwark by meadow brook
Bordered with clover; daisies nigh

And orioles flashed, and swallows dipped,
And bees the clover honey slipped.
He said: "Do you recall the day,

She bushed crimson blush just then
And thought of several other men.

Growing Fodder Corn.

A great improvement in the methods
of growing corn fodder has been made
within the last thirty years. Once twas al
ways called "sowed corn, and those words
implied the lack of cultivation which all
sowed crops get Any farmer knows that
corn, more than any other crop, requires
cultivation, and good deal of it, to get
any grain. 1t equally needs cultivation to
produce fodder worth anything The thin
white stalks which thickly sowed corn pro-
duces are poor feed, and while COWS will
eat them, yet if they give much milk they
must take fat from their reserve stores to
put into it, When drills came into use it
soon became easier to distribute drilled
corn in straight rows, wide enough apart
for cultivation. This produces large
Juicy and sweet stalks, and some nubbins
of ears. If the fodder corn had no nub-
bins on it something is wrong-either the
land is too poor, or more probably the
seed has been drilled in too thickly.
Rich, sweet stalks are of no less impor-
lance III making ensilage. The richer the
material put into he silo, the better will
be the product. In fact, by putting in
onIy nearly mature corn, the fermentation
can be kept down so as to produce sweet
er ensilage, and one that has lost a smaller
proportion of its nutritive value, than the
sour, rotten stuff, originally poor, that
| comes out almost worthless, and has to be
literally supplemented with grain to make
| a living ration. 1t is possible to put so
much richness into fodder-corn ensiIage
that no grain, or only at most little bran
or wheat middlings, will be needed to
supplement it. In giving corn room
enough to spread out and begin earring a
greater weight of stalks can be grown than
by thick sowing, especially which midsum
mer drouths cut and scar it so that it car
barely get into tassel, and is merely mas:
| of innutritious leaves.

Head Love

There is a great difference between heart
love and head love. Heart love is the
kind that makes the unconscious babe
know its mother from all other women.
If a child had to love its mother with it's
head before it would have anything to do
with her, there would be a great deal
more noise in this world than there is.
Heart love is the kind of love that makes
people willing to wait and toll many long
weary years for each other, as Jacob did
that makes them try to get a divorce as
soon as the pantry begins to get empty.
Heart love is the only kind of love on
earth that makes people unselfsh. 1t
never tries to find out how much money
there is in the bank before it pops the ques
ton. When man loves woman with
all his heart, you can't find mountain
so high that he won't cross to marry her
He wants her and will have her and no
other woman, no matter whether her
father is a banker or a wood sawyer.
But head love looks at eversthing through
money. 1t never takes off its coat ano
jun s into cold water to save anybody
a husband that loved her with his skull
only. Who would admire her according
to the way she would blacken stove or
shake a carpet Who would look upon
her every time he saw her splitting kind
lings through eyes that would plainly say,
"On the day that | married you | made
a good speculation. Head love, Who
can respect a man that marries for head
love? It's as mean as to adopt children
for profit. 1t is just as contemplate to
undertake to serve God for pay.

Growing Fruit.

The law of Survival of the ''fittest" ap-
plies especially to the growing of fruits.
In measure it has its application to all
farming industries, but the number of or
chardists who are now cutting down thrifty
young trees because satisfied that fruit will
no longer be profitable is unusually large.
In few cases nearness to cities may make
the land more profitable for gardening
than it can be for growing such large fruits
as apples. But to cut down apple trees
merely to grow ordinary grain crops is
nearly always mistake. The insect en-
emies of apple growers are now known to
be under control to those who will give
proper care to the matter. In cutting
down thrifty trees, or unwittingly, per-
maps, acknowledging themselves incom-
petent for their business, rather than
showing its appropriateness it rightly
managed.

Feeding Experiments.

From experiments to determine the
comparative value of different food stuffs,
ETC., for dairy cows, carried on at the Yer
mont Experiment Station, the following
conclusions were drawn:
l. Corn fodder and corn silage from the
same source had almost equal feeding value
in products per pound of dry matter eaten;
from different sources average sllage
proved better than average fodder: both
corn silage and corn fodder proved to be
superior to whole slower.
g. The lower half of slower (butts) proved
to have equal feeding value with the
upper half (tops), pound for pound of dry
matter in each.
3. Hay and corn slower had much the
same effect on milk production.
4. Corn silage from frost-bitten corn
poorly made, proved inferior to that well
made from unfrosted corn.
5. Apple pomace ensiled, and used
supplementary to and in part as substi-
tute for corn silage, is relished by cows,
and appeared by four tests to be about
equivalent in feeding value to corn silage.
6. Pea and oat hay was not relished,
but such as was eaten proved decidedly
better. than any other fodder used!
Z. Good corn silaga caused gain in all
respects over good hay.
8. Hungarian grass silage was fed at
great loss as compared With corn silage.
1t gave with one COW the same Zone lit
tie better, with two others poorer results
than did good hay, being, on the whole, OF
nearly equal value with it
9. The error inherent in feeding trials
such as hore reported may be considered
to be, on the whole, approximately 4 pei
| cent. of the larger yield.
10. Water below 400 Fab. was drank
| as freely as when warmer. and less of ii
when the barn temperature was about
normal 600 FAM than when warmer OIL
cooler.
II. No relation was traced between
nutritive ratio of folders and products
formed or between the albuminide of the
food and the casein of the milk.
| II. When changes In total solids take
place the fat is most likely to vary, CASH
next, and sugar and ash least.

Poison Weeds.

There are certain weeds and bushes in
pastures which are supposed to be poison
Gus to animals that eat them. But proba-
bly, none of the weeds are ever eaten I'M
less dried with the hay, and so mixed as
to make it difficult for the animal to re-
iect it. Possibly a scarcity of other food
might cause them to be eaten sometimes.
They are nearly all we'll known, though
their dangerous character may not be, and
any old farmer can point them out, viz.
The st. John wort, the wild lobelia or IN
dian tobacco, and the swamp hellebore, or
Indian pokeweed Care should be taken
not to allow them in the hay. The bushes
are mountain laurel, the sheep laurel or
low laurel, and the andromeda. They are
all of the same family, and have a resem:
blance, all being evergreens, and it is said
than sheep and goats will browse upon
them and kill themselves, even when they
could get grass. This last statement is
rather doubtful, but they do eat them
when pastures are scanty, and are poison
ed by them.

SIRIUS.
Supposed to be a Fiery Globe Immensely
Larger Than the sun

Supposed to be Fiery Globe Immensely
Larger Than the sun.
Sirius, because of its brlllancy, may no
doubt be supposed to be the nearest to the
stars. Although it is not the nearest, it
is among the nearest. We doubt If we
can give very distinct impression of how
far Sirius is away; but let US see. From
here to the sun it is about nlnety-three
million miles. If we could travel toward
the sun with the highest speed of an ex-
press train-say at the rate of sixty miles
an hour, without stopping day or night, and
bearing with US charm against old age.
we should reach our destination in about
one hundred and sixty years. Now, the
distance to Sirius, according to the latest
estimate, is fully six hundred thousand
times the distance to the sun. Express
train speed would hardly suit us on trip
to the star Suppose that we were to
travel with the enormous speed of light,
which reaches US from the sun in little
over eight minutes. We would hardly
care to travel faster than that; but even
at this inconceivabie rate, it would take
US nearly ten years to reach our journeys
end and alight upon Sirius. And what
should we find at our journeys end, in
deed long before we reached it? Not
star as you can easily imagine, but a sun
and very enormous sun, too. The ex-
act size of Sirius is not easily determined;
but in all probability it is stupendous
fiery globe. having a diameter six or pos
sibly eight or ten times that of our own.

FARM NOTES.

Calves fed milk like hot drink of
water hot days.
Is there any shade in your pasture?
There should be.
One can depend with close careful pluck
ing upon an average of one pound of
feathers per bird from flock of common
geese per annum.
In Wyoming the Jersey and Holstein
breeds are most prominent for dairy pur
poses, while Durham and Hereford are
preferred for beef.
Notice with what wonderful rapidity
asparagus grows during the wet weather.
The two most essential things III aspara-
gus growing are manure and moisture.
Ten acres of carefully raised and cured
hay, either clover, ochard grass, timothy
or herds grass, is more valuable than
twenty acres of the best natural grass"
you cap gather in woods and fields.
If the fruit tree are to low to permit
of the cultivator use the hoe for cutting
out the grass under the trees. A fruit
tree standing in tall grass is an unsightly
object.
Spade up the poultry yard frequently.
give the hens an abundance of fresh loan
to burrow in and scratch over. The bugs
and worms will be richly enjoyed, and
more than that make a saving in the
quantity of grain food.
