THE BABY.
tottering baby feet,

The little tottering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow,
With pat.ering echoes soft and sweet,
Into my heart they go;
They also go in grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then thro' the house in trackful maze,
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me,
Are the same hands that smash and
wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with cane;
They rend the manuscript in twain;
Widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy murmuring voice,
That COOS Its little tune,
That makes my listening heart rejoice,
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake at midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling fill
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like comets out of tune.

to attend to. II you do not love the
business it is useless for you to at
tempt to make flock of hens profit
able. Just like that Of flock Of
sheep, or herd of cows. a fine stable
of horses or a yard of swine.
Two neighbors. can take an equal
number of sheep under similar condi-
tions, and one in three years time
will have realized good profit and
will still have a flock that is double
the value what they were at the time
at which he became the purchaser,
while the other will be about run
out" of them, and what. few he has
will be worthless. If your farm and
buildings are not suited for the rais-
ing and maintaining Of sheep, why,
just leave them alone. And the same
with cattle. Three good milch cows
will make more butter than five poor
ones, and you can figure the work and
cost of feed you save yourself. good
team will do you more work with less
grain than a poor team; and with
swine-well, We have all learned about
them You probably know some neigh
bor who. after feeding a cribfuI of
corn in the fall to his fattening hogs,
has only got them in shape to run a
good race, while you, by having a
well-bred kind, were unable to drive
them from the pen on account of being
too fat, and that from the sorted corn.
The same condition exists in poul-
try. A well-bred or pure-bred hen is
healthy, strong and vigorous and not
apt to become attacked with the many
diseases that are common among
poultry. From them you can expect
to get an abundance of eggs, a healthy
chicken, and a profitable income. To
have a flock of fowls of this descrip-
don does not require as much labor
and expense as one without experience
would think for. But whatever kind
you keep, bear in mind that the secret
of success is to keep only well-bred
poultry.

or outside of the foot, were too high

of the heel, he maintained, was not an
active disease. but a passive condi-
tion due to the horse easing his feet

NOW LAY ME- DOWN TO SLEEP

The fire upon the hearth Is low,
And there Is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows fluttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep.
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a further room
Comes: Now lay me down to Sleep"
And, somehow. with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with a dear one there.
And as I hear the child's amen"
My mothers face comes back to me,
Couched by her side I seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh! for an hour in that dear place!
oh! for the peace of that dear time!
Oh! for that childish trust sublime!
Oh! for a glimpse of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic Of that treble tone
And Now / lay me down to Sleep"

STOCK NOTES.

While looking for pedigree don't dis
regard individual merit.
Bad fences very frequently are the
cause Of stock becoming breachy.
Keep an eye on the fences between the
pastures and the corn fields.
The best pork as well as the cheap
est, says an experienced hog raiser,
is that made from hogs that have
never been wintered. Quick growth
and early maturity are essential in Sc
curing the greatst profit.
Here is the list of foods with which
British mutton growers vary the ra-
ticns of sheep on pasture: Turnips,
rutabagas, mangolds, vetch, rape, cab
hage, beans, peas, Inseed cake, barley,
and wheat bran.
An exchange tells of a farmer who
fed a flock of 200 sheep for five months
in the winter on straw, and one and
at a total cost Of $40. The fleece cas-
lily paid for the keep of the flock. The
straw was turned into manure.
An experienced stockman advises tc
never buy show steep at big fairs OF
away because they are fat, big and
fancy. Remember they have been ru-
lHeo TO make them SO, SO Idf as any
usefulness as breeders is concerned
No farmer can ever hold them in the
condition they are found when able tc
win in the show ring.
A prominent horse breeder is of the
opinion that the sooner our farmers
realize the facts connected with horse
breeding, the principle one Of which is
that ordinary and commonly bred an.
inlals are bound to have a less and less
value each year, the better it will be
for them financially. The trend ir
breeding should always be towards a
higher standard, and SO compensate
for the deterioration in prices.
