Farmer Roberts was wild with anger,
but he was deyout church member,
and when he pulled up his team before
the group, where all heads were ts.red
and bowed and the parson was praying,
his religion got the better OF his anger
and his hat came off.
They say that this prayer was longer
than such prayers are wont to be. and
that in calling upon the Almighty to
bless the newly-wedded pair the par
son did not fail to argue the case with
the father. 1t seems to have been a
fervent and effectual prayer, for they

LIGHT IN THE STABLES.

All will admit that most living things
do better in sunlight than in darkness.
We have never met anyone who claimed
that COWS were an exception to this
general rule, yet many farmers and
dairymen act as though they believed
they were. In witness of this fact mo-
tice the barns and cowstables along
your road the next time you go to town
In fact how is it upon your own farm?
Those who have dark places claim
they do not see but their cattle are
well enough, and that the milk is as
good as that produced by other cows
They have never tried the same cows
in two different conditions SO do not
know from experience what the differ
ence in results would be.
In a recent number of Hoard's Dairy
man the editor told of an incident that
occurred nearly \ score of years ago in
York state. He had been looking over
a fine herd of dairy cows owned by an
intelligent dairyman-
THE cows were standing in the yard.

impressed by the strong indications of

every animal in the herd. On inquiry
We found that they were not highly fed,
yet they looked and appeared better

The owner explained the mystery
by saying that he ascribed the superior
condition of his cows very largely to

SpOoninS Couples Should Learn All Their
Lessons by Heart.
Here are few old superstitions re-
garding the ever-friendly cup that
cheers: If while the tea is being
made and the lid, which has been re-
moved to pour in the water. is forgot
ten. it is sure sign that some one will
drop in to tea"
If single person happens to have
two spoons in his or her saucer. it is
a prediction that the fortunate Tor m
fortunately drinker of that particular
cup will be married within year from
that date.
If you put cream in your cup before
the sugar it will cross Your love" so
be very careful.
If a tea stalk floats in the cup. it is
called beau and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round, and
then hold the spoon upright in the CEN
ter of the cup. If the beau is at
tracted to the spoon and clings TO it, he
will be sure to call very shortly. if not
that same evening. but if the stalk
goes to the side of the cup he will not
come.
Examine the tea leaves in your cup
if you are pleb enough to boil your
tea instead of drawing it in the rein ed
and dainty fashion, for lot of leaves
mean money and fortune.
If you want to know how many
years will elapse before you may ex-
pect to be married. balance your spoon
on the edge of your cup. first noting
that it is perfectly dry. fill another
spoon partly with tea. and holding it
above the balanced spoon. let the drops
of the tea gather to the tip of the spoon
and gently fall into the bowl of the
one below. Count the drops-each
one stands for year
1t is sign of fair weather if the
cluster of small air bubbles formed by
the sugar collect and remain in the
center of the cup. If they rush TO the
sides it will surely rain before night.
When toast is made three or four
thin slices of bread must DE cut the
whole length of the loaf, and placed
one over the other. This done, they
must all be cut in half with one sweep
of the knife. If this is done BY
young woman, and the slices are not
covered clean through to the plate, she
will not be married within the year;
Il the bread parts in two even heaps,
she might as well order her trousseau.
On no account must she take the last
piece of toast or bread on the plate,
un-ess she wishes to be an old maii.-

be used as a vegetable: An Italian
nobleman in a paroxysm of passion

monastery for prayer and penitence, his
food to be of the weeds that grew in

stages show that in one specimen of
cheat the chaff is partially removed,
while the third is an imperfect ker-
mel of barley with part of the chaff
removed. Some years ago DR.. Beal, of
Lansing. Mich, made some expert
ments to settle this question. From
wheat he was never able to get any
thing else but wheat. The only way to
destroy the weed is not to allow it to
