Little Maideng.

How should little maidens grow
When they're 10 or over?
In the sunshine and the air,
Wholesome, simple, fresh and fair,
AS the bonny daisies blow
And the happy clover.
How should little maidens speak
When they're 10 or over5
AS the birds do, and the bees,
Singing through the flowers and trees,
Till each mortal fain would seek
The merry hearted rover.
How about her eyes and ears
AT this stage of growing?
Like the clear, unclouded skies,
Not too angry, not too wise,
So that all she sees and hears
May be worth the knowing.
And the little maiden'sheart?
All, for that we're praying
That it strong and pure may grow;
God, who loveth children SO,
Keep her from ali guile apart,
Through life's mazes straying!

Balanced Kations.
A good deal of unintelligent criti-
cism has been published from time to
time concerning .sbalanced" rations
andfeeding standards. Prof. Vol an
swers these criticisms very cleverly
as follows:
..From what has been said, it is
clear that the feeding standard is not
intended to be all infallible rule, al
ways securing the best results to the
feeder. No two animals have exactly
the same capacity for assimilating
food. nor has the same animal the
same power Of converting the food
into milk constituents at different
stages of the same period OF lacta-
ton. No feeding standard can there
fore supplement the Judgment of the
good feeder; each cow must receive
supply of food according to her pecu-
liar requirements; some cows may be
stimulated by high feeding, and
the farther they can be driven
in this direction. up to a
certain limit, the more profit they
will bring their owners, while others
will lay on flesh by such feeding, and
their power of milk production will
decrease. The standard ration may,
however, be useful as general guide
and help to a rational system of
feeding. 1t will allow of considerable
latitude either way; the milking
qualities of the cow as we'll as the
market prices Of the different feed
stuffs and of the dairy products will
largely determine whether more nj
trogenous and more cabonaceous feed
may be fed to advantage. The stan
dard ration as given, will, we believe,
show the average quantities of nutri-
ents necessary to produce a large
flow of milk economically under our
present conditions; it does not offer
to do away with the intelligence on
the part of the feeder, but Il calls
into service his best judgement in his
wo.k.-Coleman's Rural World.

Home Hints.

Raise the best articles and put them
in the best shape.
Dried fruits are best kept in bags
and hung upon a dry wall.
Do not salt your steak until after
it has been broiled unless you wish
to extract the juices Of the meat.
If milk is to be kept over night, it
is better to place it in small tins than
to keep larger quantity in one
vessel.
1t is better to keep pastry in cup
board than in a refrigerator. as it
would be apt to get damp and heavy
in the latter place.
If you wish to remove from your
hands the odor Of fish or onions rub
the hands with fine salt and then
give them warm water bath.
To give shirt bosoms. collars and
cuffs glossy appearance, one ounce
of white wax and two of spermaceti
are melted together, and a little of a
thick solution of gum arabic is used
in the starch, a tablespoonful being
enough for pint of starch.
The following is an excellent recipe
for furniture polish: One pint of lin
seed oil, half pint of gin, quarter Of
a pint of turpentine, one ounce of
butyr Of anthony (poison). and a
quarter Of a pint Of vinegar. Put
these ingredients into wine bottle
and shake we'll. Rub briskly on the
furniture with flannel.
In cooking roast, even small
one may be saved from ruin by hav-
ing the oven SO hot that it will in
stantly harden the outside surface.
This keeps in the juices of the meat.
Some cooks, however, insist upon a
slow bake, which sends the roast to
the table looking as gray and chippy
as q slice from the side bone of q
domestic duck.

Farm Notes.

Grow something out of season, like
early lambs or broilers.
A ration that is complete at one
time may not be at another
It is the skill that tells, and having
skill simply means knowing how
When manure is thrown out under
the caves, it leaves the farmer the
skim-milk.
Farming and the farm are not dis
tasteful to those that embrace it's op-
portunities.
So far as possible growing animals
should have an opportunity to exer-
else every day.
On the farm, as elsewhere, a great
deal of money is wasted by failing to
do things we'll.
The horse is the principal motive
power on the farm and hence needs
the best attention.
SounGness is an indispensable CON
dition, il a horse is to make any
money for the owner.
When there is no profit in the farm
dairying it will be a good plan to
find out the cause and remove it,
Too much using of commercial fer
tilizers and selling off the farm crops
will make the soil hard and lifeless.
The purity and high breeding of
an animal determines it's powers to
transmit it's good qualities to its off
spring.
While rich food makes rich man
ure. we must never calculate to get
the full value of the feed in the
manure.
Some very careful farmers claim
that ammonia is generated from
shade, and the more shade the more
plant food.
While breeding common mares to
full blooded stations will improve
the horses to some extent, it does
not go far enough.
A good plan of management with
the horses. at least, is to sell the
geldings and the older mares and
keep the best of the fillies.
