 To the philosophical he is phloso- phic.
 To the lovers Of oratory he is elo- quent.
 To the dramatic he is an actor.
 The glowing dreams of youth and manhood, the fading visions Of old age, and mans relation to the world are beautifully woven into the story of Visions and Dreams.

q few words: "Here am six months

are at least sure Of living, but II
we remain I am afraid my boys will

A worse fate than that Of . farmer
might befall . boy. Few men Of note

be polished tools, but men who had to

Rev. w. II. H. Murray once laid
down a rule in regard to trimming a

the world should cut out and paste in
his hat. "Never," he says, "allow the
knife to touch the sole Of a horses
foot, nor the least bit Of it to be pared
away, because nature needs the full
bulk Of it and has amply provided for
It's removal at the proper time. Sec

Diet for the Sick.

Milk Is diet in universal favor, and
should never be forgotten as food a.
once highly nutritive and easy Of d.
gestion. Some persons who, while we'll,
are unable to take milk, have no such
difficulty while sick. There are few
patients who cannot take milk either
hot, cold, cooked, raw, with Vichy, or
with lime water.
In diseases Of the kidneys milk Is al
ways valuable article Of diet. Some
times 1t is better taken skinned, or
after the extraction of the butter 1t
contains, In the form of buttermilk.
In spite of some adverse criticism,
beef tea holds its place 40 q stimulant
and nutrient for the sick. Unfortunate
~ 1t is seldom properly made. The beef
should first be finely ground, then
placed to simmer where It will not ap-
proach the boiling point too closely, un-
til the raw beef has changed to deli
cate pink with brown exterior. This
process should occupy about twenty
minutes. The beef should not be cook
ed to gray color, which color indicates
c0ngulation of some of the soluble
and nutritious albumens.
Good beef, finely ground, IL itself al,
most the essence of nutrition, and in
cases Of chronic wasting diseases, 1t Ia
as q rule digestible by the weakened
stomach, and Is In the highest degree
nourishing to the wasted tissues.
Ground meat may be gently pressed
into cakes which, when carefully
broiled, make a most palatable article
Of diet for the sick. Even In fevers a
small quantity Of finely ground beef 10,
often tolerated, and Is enjoyed more
than clear beef tea.
The stimulating value Of hot water 10
to be utilized with the sick wherever
possible. Hot water promotes secre-
ton better than cold, and IL at all times
stimulant Of no mean value. The Chi
nese are said to have numerous hot
water shops In many Of their cities,
where this beverage 10 sold to IN ap-,
preciative public. It would be well II
such beverage were to become popular
with M.
Dry bread. at least two days old, 10
more easily digested, and more nutri-
tious, than almost any other article Of
food, because it consists largely Of
starch. Rice and tapioca thoroughly
boiled closely follow in ease Of diges-
ton and nutr1tive value.
Sugar, except In very small quaint
ties, makes poor food for the sick on
account of its proneness to fermenta-
ton. Fruits. with few exceptions, con-
tain large percentages Of sugar and Of
fruit acids, which later. except In spe-
cific cases. are distinctly detrimental.
Fruits and thoroughly cooked vegeta-
bles are allowed only In convalescence,
and then only In limited quantities.

Cows Going Dry too Ions

IL pays to take extra pains to get all
the milk from cows. They need plenty
OF good food, too. A little carelessness
IN milking or in feeding has doomed
the owner Of young cow thus treated
to the penalty Of keeping her three or
-FOUR months for nothing every year
all the remainder of her life. The
young heifer's teats are not large, and
1t Is young heifers that are most apt
to be neglected. The careless mixer
says that their milk does not amount
to enough to pay for clean milking.
That Is where such a man makes q
mistake. 1t always pays to do the
best work.

they are moulting, and there is usually

Warm Water for Young Stock.
It may be disputed whether it is nee
essary to warm water for older AMI
mails, but all young stock should have
water with the chill taken OF Of it to
drink in winter. The digestion of
young animals Is weak. and drinking
ice-cold water makes It worse. It La
this cold water that makes rough, star

Roots In Transplanting.
We had occasion some years ago to
remove q thrifty barberry bush. It
has never recovered from the shock.
1t was too old and we destroyed too
many Of the roots, In proportion to

lived without making growth Of any
consequence ever since. 1t ia lesson

Farm Notes.
When blackberrying, many q large
fruited sort is met with, which, II trans
planted to the garden, would be as good
as any of the cultivated sorts. Some Of
the best-known ones were introduced
In this way.
It will now delight the Western farm
ers to learn that worm has appeared
to attack the Russian thistle. The worm
appears in large numbers and suddenly
disappears. Its habits will be studied
at the experiment stations.
Unless the surface Is very uneven
and the soil light and porous but little
fertility ia wasted from manure drawn
upon the field when fresh, even when
the ground Is frozen or heavy rains in
tervene. Thus on many farms, where
the surface is level or only slightly roll
ing. manure may be spread at almost
any time Of the year.
A horseman advises to never allow 4
horse to stand on hot fermenting
manure, az this will soften the hoofs
and bring on diseases Of the feet: nor
| permit the old litter to lie under tho
manger. az the gases will faint his food
and irritate his lungs, a. well a. his
eyes.

be reduced correspondingly. The true
way to economic In feeding is to have
animals that will yield the greatest

and to give them all the food they will

Goats Paying Better than Sheep.
A Missouri farmer writes in the St.
Louis Journal Of Agriculture that he
finds goats profitable for rough land
filled with weeds and bushes. He has
had goats for four years, and they
have destroyed the bushes, sumach and
small persimmon trees. His hogs have
been free from disease, while all
around him farmers who did not keep
goats lost most Of theis hogs by cholera.
