confidence IN himself and faith In his cat
tie. He must farm II a65 days In the
year. Our dairymen are fast finding out
thet the ration that makes one pound OF
steer beef will also make one pound OF
butter or two pounds Of cheese No COW
was ever good dairy COW that was not
born so, but thousands OF cows that were
born so have been spoiled by poor and
unwisc handling.
THE claim has been often made. says
the AmericIn DoirvmGla that the milk
Of the cows I'm the Northwestern portion
OF Canada will yield larger proportion
of butter and cheese than that produced
elsewhere under similar conditions. Last
year very careful test was made at the
Jolly creamery in Manitoba, which. as
far as butter is concerned, seems TO
favor this view. The relative result of
this and other trials may be briefly
stated as follows: For each 100 pounds
Of milk Manitoba is created with 4.76
pounds of butter; Quebec with 4.25; the
United States with 400, and Ontario
with 3.75, while the average yield In
Europe is only $50. What makes the
difference really larger than the figures
indicate Is the fact that the cows tested
In Manitoba were all of native stock,
while OF those In other countries either
belonged to improved breeds or were q
high class of grades. The results OF fu-
ture tests In this direction will be looked
for with interest.

A recent account by Herr Adler states
that the preparation of 100 boxes of
meerschaum there takes twelve to fif-
teen persons two months, and costs
about G120. In Eski-scheir the average
price of the box of mercantile ware has
varied since 1873 between about G6 to
910 Cast year it was about the former).
Refuse ware can be had at about an
eighth of the price. There are ten
qualities, aed each is to be had in four
sizes, there being twenty-five to forty
pieces of the first size per box, and $50
to 1900 pieces of the fourth (the box

who bring their wares into the Vienna
market. The large importation into
Vienna may be said to date from be-
tween 1850 and 1860, when the pro-
duction of pipe-bowls and cigar-tips
was greatly increased for export to En-
gland, France and North America. In
1860 considerable export of pipes to
San Francisco was first developed,
while large quantities of cigar-tips were
sent to America and Australia via Ham
burg. Since then the conditions of the
trade have altered much. chiefly in con-
sequence of the high duties imposed in
America. In that country arose, with
the aid of emigrant turner's from Aus
tralia, home industry, which has sue
cessfully competed with the Vienna
pipe manufacturer (for the product of
which America was previously the best
customer). With France and Germany,
the United States obtains the raw pro-
duct mainly from Austria.

A Happy Life.

A man who has married for love is q
happy fellow. He is generally cheer
full, and always thinking about the dear
ones at home. He prefers to live out
of town for the sake of his children.
He is rarely late at business, rises ear
ly, gardens little, eats hearty break
fast, and goes to the necessary labor
with light heart and clean conscience.
He often brings home pleasant sur
prises for his wife and children. You
may recognize him in trains loaded with
parcels, which he good-naturedly car
ries with perfect unconcern Of what
others think-a new bonnet, music,
books, cloak for his wife; while in an
other parcel the wheels of cart, a
jack-in- the-box, doll or skipping-rope
protrude through the paper, and sug-
gest the nursery. He is brave end
kind, though he makes no noise in the
world. The humanizing influence OF
that darling red-cheeked little fellow
who calls him father brings glow and
rapture of the purest pleasure earth
holds; for the man who has never felt
tiny hand clasp his will always lack
something will be less human, less
blessed than others. This is the noble,
the honest, the only form of life that
imparts real contentment and Joy, that
will make death-bed glorious, and
love see peace through its tears. 1t is
so purely unselfsh, so tenderly true; il
satisfies the highest instincts. It stimu-
lates men to the best deeds they arc
capable of.

TIE PIGGERY.
Point I'm Pig breeding.

The cost of feeding pigs before and
after weaving has been compared by the
Wisconsin experiment station and the re-
suits appeared In their annual report for
1890. Corn meal, skim-milk and shorts
where the feeds that gave the best re-
suits and the figures show that the pigs
made more economical growth when
fed through the SOW. This being true,
it is short-sighted policy to starve the
dam with the idea that her pigs will pay
better for feed after weaving. The sow
should be fed as heavily as possibly with
out endaDgering her young and at the
same time the pigs should be early
taught to eat in trough by themselves
and should also be fed all they will con-
sumo. Comparing the results obtained
before and after weaving with those
from older animals, it was found that the
best gain for given amount of food,
was given with the younger animals.
To obtain the best results with a given
amount of feed, pigs should be crowded
from the day they are born, feeding the
sow heavily and continuing the heavy
feeding with the pigs after weaving.

Language in sealing Wax.

The language in sealing wax is much
practiced in Paris, now that sealing let
ters is in fashion again. An epistle con-
veying n proposal of marriage must be
sealed with white wax, while accepted
lovers may use ruby color. Jealousy is
expressed by yellow wax, blue implies
constancy, and brown melancholy; green
suggests hope, and paler shade of
green conveys reproof. A letter of con-
dolence should bear violet seal in reply
TO the back wax intimating death, and
the ordinary scarlet hue is still used for
business Invitations to dinner display
-cnUcofaUe Srufs, gushing yuung fuurcs
fasten their condolences with pink, and
gray is the general tint for letters to
