Tears and Nerves.

As the muscular power that extends
or fexes a finger is at distance
from the part moved, so the excite
ment of tears is from an irritation
from distant nervous center, and is
removed when the nervous center is
either soothed or exhausted. The
relief comes not from the escape of
tears. which is only symptom, but
from the cessation of the storm in
the nervous chain. If the storm be
Gained by soothing measures as
when we sooth child that is weep
ing from fear annoyance or injury
we quiet the nervous centers, upon
which the effec'y ceases. In children
the soothing method succeeds, and
sometimes it succeeds in adults,
although in adults the cessation of
tears is more commonly due TO actu-
al exhaustion following period of
nervous activity. Boston Globe.

Better feed one good milk COW
than three inferior ones.
Remember that the COWS crave a
variety of food and will give more
and better milk with it.
No animal responds TO kind treat
ment quicker than COW. A COW
can be kicked and cuffed till she goes
dry.
Cows will not give a liberal flow of
milk unless fed well on variet y of
food and protected from the severity
of the weather.
The New Hampshire experiment
station finds that gluten meal tends
to produce much softer quality OF
butter than cotton seed meal or corn
meal, and other things being equal,
tends TO lessen the churnability OF
the butter fats.
English dairymen have come ia
the conclusion that a grass farm is
not best for their business, says a
writer. On an arabic farm they can
get a succession of crops which are
the best dairy food, and can procure
fifty per cent more of food suited to
dairy COWS than by keeping the same
area in grass.

Pic Pens.

The pens that have given us the
best satisfaction are small, inexpen-
sive, insignificant affairs, costing
from So to $40 each. The strongest
point in their favor is health, fewer
hogs being kept under one roof; this
one point of health itself should
overbalance any objections that
might be urged against them. When
the ground around the pen becomes
foul by continued occupation, these
pens are easily moved to a fresh To-
cation, and the ground previously
occupied by them plowed up and a
crop or two raised from it. thereby
purifying the soil. After two cor
three years it can be again see led to
grass and the pens returned to their
original location.
A rotation Of hog-pens once in two
or three years goes farther in the di-
rection OF maintaining fertility than
anything | have ever tried. With
this kind of pen, or as many pens of
this kind as may be necessary tor
the number Of hogs; the original
outlay for pens Is reduced to a mere
nothing in comparison with the
large hog house. They will pay for
themselves every year they are used.
With this system less than half the
labor will keep the pens clean; they
are warmer. the air is purer, the
young pigs are healthier, ard large
numbers at any season are prevented
from piling together At narrowing
time each brood SOW Is isolated from
the others, thereby being removed
from anything liable to make them
irritable or restless.

Young stock in wintor.

1t is the worst possible manage
ment TO let calves, colts or any other
young stock rough it during their
first winter Not only does the cold
pinch, but there is the great differ
ence between the succulent grass
that they get in the summer and the
dry forage OF the winter ration. 1t
is true young stock have generally
good appetites, but unless they have
some grain to keep up animal heat
they cannot eat enough Of rough
fodder 10 keep them in good condi-
tion. The rough, staring coat is
evidence how digestion has been in
jured and the future growth stupted
for all time. No matter how we'll
fed afterwards, the damage by the
first winters neglect is never over

growth is always the sign of i'm
paired digestion that it is so difficult
TO change to thriitiness The young
animal, if kept warm and we'll fed,
makes much more profit from good
feeding than it will when older. In
truth, however, if the digestion be
kept good the first winter it will be
better during the animals entire life.
