A PRAYER FOR THE TIMES.

o God, for men to lead. not for mere selfish
gain.
But swift in generous, knightly deed,
To help brother in his need,
Or break bondsman's chain
o God, for men to write more than hgh-sound-
ing phrase.
Brave words that borrow heavens light
To pierce.the clouds of selfish night,
And lead to brighter daysl
o God, for men to sing, not simply pleasing
rhymes,
But earnest songs whose notes shall ring
In trumpet call, and swiftly bring
Thy power to mould the times!
o God, for men to preach, not empty creed and
form,
But Christly words, whose help shall reach
Poor souls in need. and prove for each
The anchor in the storml
o God, for faith toward men, words. pow
ers are thine;
The shuttles which thy hand doth throw,
In ceaseless action to and fro,
Until the finished fabric shows complete thine
own design The Advti ce.

DREAMING OF HOME.

At eve boat sailed out upon the bay
And left a wife forlorn;
o let her sleep and dream till break OF day,
They will come home at morn.
They will come home thro' the wind and the
FOAM
Thro' the wind and the foam at morn.
But in the morn the boat upturned came nome,
Unsteered by fisher hands;
Came drifting. slowly drifting thro' the foam,
And they were lying dreaming ON the sands
Dreaming of home.
For winds are wild and seas are false,
Tho fair and trustful seeming.
o under the waves they found their graves;
Under the foam and the moons far cleaning,
They lie dreaming.
Dreaming of home.

DAIRY.

Butter fat, although it is the most
variable of the solids in milk, is the one
constituent which is the accurate
measure of its quality. Its per cent. in
dicates how rich or how thin it may be.
The other solid constituencies
milk. sugar and ash-nearly always fol-
low the fat in amount. Consequently
the.butter fat is good measure of the
food value OF the milk.
Scales will show how much milk
COW produces, and the Babcock tester
will measure it's quality. Provided with
these two helps, no one can blame any
one but himself if he is keeping unprofit-
able cows in his dairy. There are too
many mich cows which do not pay their
board bills. Cows are not machines,
but differ in their capacity as much as
the men who own them.
tits yet problem whether it is wise
to feed wheat to the dairy COWS. 1t is
true that ration in which there was
proportion of ground wheat made gain
in milk beyond that obtained from al
most any other food, but in almost every
instance it was at a greater cost per
hundred pounds of milk. Further ex-
periments are necessary.
The plan is being wisely adopted by
many of our farmers of sowing clover
seed with all their small grains in the
spring. The fall feed good deal more
than pays for the seed, beside it's value
as fertilizer for the land. The land
will be in much better condition for
turning under in the spring than if it
had lain bare.
1t is doubtful if it pays a farmer to
hold over any sort of produce for rise
in the market; certainly it does not with
butter. The butter maker who holds
two or three months product over for
larger prices pays large interest on his
venture. Fresh butter only will bring
the best price, and make a reputation
with private buyers.
A branch of the dairyman's industry
should be to breed family cows" There
are million such kept by private fami
lies in the land, and many of them would
pay roundly for animals which suited
them-a sound, gentle. rich milk giver.
Such COWS are hard to find, and the
prices demanded are exorbitant.
Cream always loses in quantity by
souring, while over sourness results in
greater loss. There is gain in quantity
and quality by churnipg as soon as
cream is ripe. The butter bacteria do
their best work under proper conditions,
as do all other workmen. Study the
lesser items Of any business in which
you purpose to succeed.
The first step in changing from sum-
mer to winter dairying will be to have
the cows bred in December or January,
80 that they may drop their calves in
the fall. instead of in the spring. II you
purpose to make the change next year,
it is time to begin laying plans, at least.
By buying or exchanging it will be easy
to complete the change next summer.

the barn it was quite dark.
The girls were Rose and Cassie
Bostwick, and their pleasant chatter
followed their parents upon a journey
they had that morning undertaken.
They were also specializing as to
when their brother, who had driven
them to the station twenty miles
away, would be back. They were
bright, capable girls, with little tim
idity about them, and the fact that
they were comparatively alone upon
an isolated farm did not trouble
them much. Especially was this the
case with Cassie, the Younger. Self
reliant and full of resource, she would
have laughed to scorn anyone sug-
costing the thought of fear. She
was big and strong, and to her life
was grand frolic, and her sixteen
years had been one unbroken "good
time"
At the house their younger sister,
Florence, was preparing the supper
and entertaining the "baby," boy
of three, who between the falling of
evening and the pangs of hunger was
growing sleepy and low-spirited.
Out from the kitchens open door
appetizing odors of coffee and frying
ham stole to greet the two girls as
they came towards the house with
their trimming pals of frothy milk.
SIT smells good" said Cassie. "and
I'm hungry as tramp"
"Oh, Cassiel why did you say that's
I've just been trying not to think
about tramps. always feel creepy
when Pm about the barn after dark,
anyway. and now"
"Well, my saying that won't bring
any along"
"They are positively the only things
in the world that I'm afraid Of"
swell, I'm not afraid of them.
And suppose one should come along,
surely three great stout girls ought
to be able to take care of them
selves"
ooh, Cassie, dearl please stop talk
ing about them. feel as if one was
stepping on my heels. Let's run"
"And spill the milk' Not muchp'
The kitchen looked SO bright and
CHEEKY as they entered it that Rose
seemed to leave her fears outside with
the dusk, and by the time she had
strained the milk and put it away,
she had forgotten that tramps ex-
listed.
Cassie had gone up stairs to make
some needed changes in her toilet,
the baby had reused from his tired
nap, and was taking a rather mourn
full interest in the preparations for
supper, when Rose, who had just
stopped to ask him whether he would
have any honey or preserves, heard
stealthy step on the porch. A mo-
ment later, the door was pushed
slowly open and man walked in.
Good evening, ladies'. Is your pa
at home7"
"No-no," faltered Rose, trying to
settle to her own satisfaction whether
this dirty looking stranger might
not be some new neighbor who had
come on legitimate business, or
whether he was her one horror-a
tramp"
"Any of your big brothers int"
with rather a jocular manner.

GROWING OLD.

The fairest lilies droop at eyentide,
The sweetest roses fall from off the stem,
The rarest things on earth can not abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them,
We're growing old.
We had our dreams. those rosy dreams of youth;
They faded, and twas well. This after prime
Has brought us fuller hopes. and yet forsooth,
We drop a tear now in this later time
To think we're old
We smile at these poor fances of the past
A saddened smile almost akin to pain
Those high desires those purposes vast.
All, our poor hearts, they cannot come again
We're growing old,
Old? Well the heavens are old; this earth is too;
Old wine is best, maturest fruit most sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, although It's trn'
We tread lifcs way with more uncertain feet.
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter pace
Soft graees, tender hopes OH every hand,
At last with gray-streaked hair and hollow face
We step across the boundary of the land
Where none is old.
