Parents and Childrnn.

The Toys Of parents are secret, anil
90 are their griefs and fears; tn. y
cannot utter the one, AMI they will
not utter the other. Children sweet
en- labors, but they make misfortunes
more bitter, they increase the cares
Of life, but they mitigate the remem-
brance Of death. The perpetuity by
generation is common to beasts; but
memory, merit, and noble work are
peculiar to men. The difference in
affection Of pIrents toward their sew
eral children Is many times unequal,
and sometimes unwoi thy, especially
10 the mother. Where Is a house full
of children, man shall see some re-
spected, and some that are almost
forgotten, who may nevertheless
prove the best. The illiberality of
parents to their children makes them
base, and frequently induces them to
associate with mean company. Let
parents choose betimes Tho courses
they mean their children should take
for then they are the most flexible.

traordInary, then it is well not to

A Polite Monkey,

II was amused at an act OF polite
ness l once witnessed on the part OF
a monkey that had very peculiar
effect on my dog" said Stephen L.
Warner of Beatrice, Neb, al the st.
James yesterday. "Jne day an Ital-
ian organ grinder, &C ompanied by a
trained monkey wandered into our
town, and the man stopped before
my house to play. The monkey was
an intelligent little fellow, and was
attired 10 jacket and cap WI se
his master was grinding ont snaiIil11I
sic the monkey hoped down from
the organ, where he had been sitting,
and, jumping the fence, came upinto
my yard.
"He was at on spied by fox ter.
rier of mine, and tne dog made rush
at him. The monkey awaited the
onset with such undisturbed tran.
guilty that the cog halted within a
few feet OF him to reconnoiter. Both
animals took long, steady stare at
each other, when suddenly the
monkey raised his paw and gracefully
saluted bis enemy by rails ng his hat
The effect was magical The dogs
head and tai dropped, and he

MILKING QUALITIES.

The milk-giving glands of cows are
greatly stimulated by use, and care
should be taken to secure as large n
flow of milk as possible for the long
est period. This depends upon feed
ing, breeding and general manage
ment.
In connection with the last, it is we'll
to establish the habit of rapid milking
This habit may be readily formed bv
taking the heifer when she first comes
to her milk, and beginning the opera
ton as soon as seated, continuing
steadily and rapidly until the udder is
emptied. With some COWS tits some
times necessary to draw the last of the
milk by pressing down on the upper
part of the udder, first on one side
and then on the other; but no strip-
ping will be needed. Heifers so
trained will give down their milk ran
idly.
Liberal feeding will aid greatly in
developing milking qualities, but
judgment, thought and skill are also
necessary. In this connection it NAV
be asked whether a mistake is not
being made in the feed of JERSEY
cows The richness of their milk is
attributed to the fact that they have
been fed for generations on succulent
roots. Their food being SO different
in this country, is there not some fear
that they may lose the valuable quail
ties which have hitherto distinguished
them, and degenerate?
May we not also find in this liberal
use of roots abroad the explanation of
that large yield of milk among En-
glish shorthorns which appears sur
prising to those acquainted with the
American prototype ? The quality
and quantity of the milk are undoubt-
eddy largely influenced by the nature
of the food furnished. New York

QUALITY OF CHEESE.

The quality Of cheese will vary nc
cording to the quality of the milk
from which it is made, and proper.
tionately to the amount of fat present
in that milk. The fat is the constiiu-
ent which most affects the quality of
cheese to be made from large quanti-
ties Of poor milk as from small quanti-
ties of rich milk. But, with due care,
the larger yield of cheese which can
be obtained from the poorer milk
should balance in value that of the
higher quality which can be made
from the richer milk. New York

as an acceptable table delicacy. Chem

1t is q good plan to keep good sup
ply of dry soil in the pen with the
pigs. 1t will make a good absorb
ent, and it is not SO warm as a straw
litter would be.
1t is pretty well established as the
results of experiments that the same
amount of feed required to produce
one pound of butter fat will produce
three pounds of beef.

An indiscriminate use of the smoker
is not advisable, but it is often neces-
sary even with gentle bees to have one
on hand; for instance, when remov-
ing the racks, etc., and then 1t is
mainly for the protection of the bees
themselves.
No one can say which is the more
important, good breeding or good
feeding, except that the best breeds
can frequently get along better on
poor feeds than scrubs can; but, again,
well-fed scrub is frequently better
than poorly-fed thoroughbred.
When the beginner decides on the
kind of hive to use, it is best to have
them all uniform, because he may
often wish to transfer a part of one
hive to another, perhaps to strengthen
weak swarms, and for this reason all
OF the parts should be interchangeable.
The Hebrew custom of leaving grain
in the fields for the cleaners was a
merciful one, Let the farmers of to-
day be as merciful to his beasts and
leave the nubbins unhusked. The cows
will eat them with the fodder and will
be greatly helped in the milk yield
thereby.
When carrying the big milk can

it TO spoil before morning.
If you want your son to like the
