milk Should be Tester

The dairy farmer who does not own a
Babcock tester, or some other satisfactory
method for testing his milk, is making a
sad mistake. 1t is an old story-a story

from their lethargy. What sense is there
in feeding and milking a cow whose milk
will not reimburse the owner for the ex-

each one is producing? Way do business

THE OLD Hymn N-BOOK
WILL CARLTON .

Yes, wife, we're going TO move once more;
The last tine, / declare.
Until the everlasting shore
Sends word 1t wants US there.
Some things this time with Us We II take,
Some leave here in disgust.
And some We'll lose, and some we'll breal.
As movers always must.
The family Bible we Will find
Devoutly carried through;
But also, wife, don [ fail to mind
And save that hymn-book, too
Though fngsr-marked and cuppoard-worn,
And shabby in its looks,
i prize that volume, soiled and torn,
Next to the Book of books;
When David trimmed his golden Tyre
With song forget-me-not,
He left fame of sacred fire
For Wesley and for Watts.
and many other singers, wife,
Have made Gods glory known
In hymns and Times that drew their life
From echoes round the throne!
I've sung them when, on lofty track,
My heart scared through the sky,
And every word and tone brought back
a telegraph reply;
I've hummed them when my soul with grief
Feared all its prayers in vain,
Till they have braced up my belief,
And sOothed my doubling pain;
I've told them TO the woods, and stirred
The trees up to rejoice;
I've joined in meetings where God heard
Ten thousand in one voice!
I've paused these sacred words to hear
When life was gay and bright.
And every sound that charmed the ear
Brought glory TO the sight;
I've heard them when the sections spade
Had cut my life in two,
And my sad heart, by their sweet aid,
Has walked the valley through.
All, wife! " hen heavens great music burst
Awakes my senses dim,
l humbly hope they'll give me first
A good old-fashioned hymnl
/ trust when our last moving day
Has shown us Gods good love,
Andwe have settled down to stay
In colonies above,
Wen find hundred earthly things
Our hearts had twined about,
And which tight the memory clings-
Heaven wouldn't be heaven without;
And somewhere, in that blessed place,
God grant / may behold,
Near by the precious Word of Grace,
My hymn-book bound in gold.

ODE TO SPRING.

] heard the bird of spring,
And 10,
At his sweet note
The flowers began to grow,
Grass leaves and everything,
AZ il the green world heard
The trumpet Of his tiny throat
From end to end and winter and despair
Fled at his melody and passed In air
! heard at dawn the music of voice.
o my beloved, then / said, the spring
Can yisit only once the waiting year;
The bird can bring
Only the seasons choice, nor his the choice
To waken smiles or the remembering tear
But thou dost bring
springtime to every day, and at thy call
The flowers Of life unfold, though leaves Of au
tumn fall.
