STOCK.

Thirty per cent. of the land in our
best territory is planted to corn; good
corn will yield from 40 to so bushels an
acre, and the fodder from each acre
would give the rough food for one full
grown animal all winter. 1t is we'll to
consider what the resultant figures will
show. One rich county could feed
thousands and thousands of animals on
its fodder alone.
Corn husks contain 80 per cent. of
digestible matter; corn stubble &c; the
blades Ga; stover 30. There is more di-
gestible matter in the fodder from one
acre than in the corn; and corn fodder
or slower from one acre yields as much
digestible product as two tons of timothy
hay.
They COW intended for the dairy will
bring a better price if she has been
matured, tested and her value proved,
than when the buyer must take the
risks. The horse or mule reasonably
we'll broken to work or to ride will make
a better return In proportion To his cost.
1t costs little more to feed to maturity,
but the proportionate profit is greater.
Bran sells cheapest now, and it is the
time to lay it in for the stock, and save
from two to five dollars a ton. This
necessitates a place to put it, and be-
cause of this lack many must buy in
small quantities and pay the current
prices. There is no other feed which
can be stored in bulk with the same
safety.

all occurring with the quickness of
thought. He sprang from his bed, ana
the cause of the intrusion of his repose
was soon explained. 1t was an enormous
rat, dragging the heart of Napoleon to
his hole. A few moments more, and
that which before had been too vast in
its ambition to be satisfied with the SOW
ereignty Of continental Europe, would
have been found even in more degrad-
ed position than the dust of Caesar
stopping beer BARRETT would have
been devoured as the supper Of rat.

DAIR Y.

Really good dairy help is hard to find
help capable of taking charge of
things. Young men are too ready to
rush to the factory in the city, to learn
to do but one thing. They are not de
veloped in knowledge. judgment, tact,
order, foresight, skill nor planning. Dairy
schools are doing their share, but capa-
BILE young men can acquire fund of
knowledge outside of these, and become
valuable.
Cool nights call for much heating of
milk while passing through the separa-
tor, and the butter maker who can cool
down the cream most rapidly makes the
finest and highest favored article. In
this regard there is the better success in
the use of the small cans and the pool
system; the butter will be superior in
body and flavor.
In cheese making the acid in the curd
is increased to cover or destroy any de-
fects there may be in tainted milk, and
the same principle my be used with
butter; this we do in using our starters.
This is needed especially when the cream
has been cooled rapidly. 1t brings out
some aroma, and covers the weedy fiavors
in the milk.
Those having cows yielding 20 pounds
Of butter week are in no hurry to sell
them. When we have weeded out our
Improbable stock, how are we going to
supply their places? There is nothing
to do but to raise them. Breed pure
bred dairy bulls to your best cows, and
grade up to the high records.

giving the old COWS will be slaughtered
and sold by the quarter, because of the
discovery that feed is not going to hold
out, and farmer does dislike to buy
nay OF all things. This depresses the
prices for better qualities of beef. There
is double reason this year. The thought
full farm will be ready before fall.
10 fatten an improbable COW, dry
her as quickly as possible and put her
in dark stable, where the flies will not
bother her; soil her and push her with
grain for all there is in it, Grind up
corn, wheat, oats, barley, anything, and
mix with green chop and oil cake. Go
to the fence rows for grass, if necessary.
On pasture the success will be less, and
the expense greater.
A practical bee keeper dues not expect
any good results from fields of flowers
three miles away The usual distance
for bees to roam is not more than two
miles. 1t is doubtful if they ever go
more than four or five miles at the ut
most. 1t is estimated that their speed
is about 20 miles an hour,
Keep only as much stock as you are
sure you can feed well. He who over
stocks his pasture damages his land,
and is at the mercy of the weather, for
every drouth brings his cattle to a star
walton diet, and makes them breechy;
and he who has more stock than food
in winter finds stock growing unprofit-
able.
Feed for early maturity. One farmer
will bring his spring pigs up to the 200
pound notch at six or seven months, and
get the top price for them; and he has
done it cheaply, for there has been no
check in growth from birth, and no
winter feeding. Another will sell at
midwinter, with pigs so pounds lighter,
because neglected.
With high feed and low stock let us
hope that the country will get rid of it's
scrubs. and that with the reaction we
will adopt the improved breeds for pro-
fitable stock growing in future. For.
tunately the market discriminates
against poor stock, and will pay fair
prices for high grades and pure breeds
only.
Make stack of early cut sweet corn
in alternate thin layers with old hay.
The hay will keep the corn from mold
ing, and the corn will impart its sweet
ness to the whole. This will make feed
for the winter stock which will be eaten
up clean and greedily, and nothing could
be better for the young stock and milk
cattle.
If a farmer is shrewd enough to use
his fodder as feed, his mission is a sue
cess, whether he cuts it up as wanted or
puts it up in the form of ensilage. His
farm will support at least one-half more
stock, and this means proportionate
increase in fertility. Like the green
pastures of June-it is succulent, appe
tizing, digestible and assimilable.

of mercy in her breast charmed by
it's own strangeness. Then with ten
der hands the roughened hair was
dressed and the ragged clothing
freed from burrs and dust.
Almost as soon as the weary limbs
stretched themselves on the mat sleep
closed the eyelids, and the mother
sat down and watched the uncon-
scious sleeper while heavy tears stole
down the rugged cheeks. At last she
burst into uncomfortable sobs which
reused the young girl. Upon seeing
these tears o Tsuru San became
surer than ever this was her mother,
and decided to ask. The direct ques-
ton startled direct reply, and moth
er and daughter were wrapped in
each others embrace. Long into
the night they talked, SO that next
morning when the mother woke the
daughter still lay in heavy unbroken
slumber. Nothing in the howell to
eat but uncooked rice and no fuel for
a fire caused the mother to climb
neighboring slope to get some brush
wood, and to pick some mountain
fruit to help out the scanty meal.
She did not think the father could
possibly return before noon, and then
she would meet him outside and pre-
pare him for the strange guest.
o Tsuru San slept on and on, smil-
ing in her sleep, dreaming fond
dreams of happy hours in cosy
home with father and mother, her
hands tightly clasped over the belt
where was the money that should
mitigate the poverty of her parents.
A giant-like form steals into the room
with heavy burden on his back. He
looks in amazement at the sleeping
girl. With robber instinct he notices
the guarding of the belt With cruel,
crafty tread he reaches her side,
draws his blood stained, dishonored
sword and plunges it into her breast.
With hardly struggle, with single
sigh, the victim lay before him dead,
and he drew the purse from the folds
of the sash and the unresisting hands.
He turns to count the money and
gloat over his treasure when he sees
his wife transfixed with horror and
anguish. She runs to the mat and
throws herself upon the PROSTATE fig
ure crying the most bitter tears NOR
tai ever wept. The father, too sur
prised almost to speak, at last asks
the cause of such grief, and when he
hears that he has slain his own child
he rushes from the house like one
mad and wanders for hours not
knowing what he is doing nor where
going. At last he recognizes his own
house and enters. He sees the moth
er kneeling by the daughter; he
steals up to her side; he prostrates
himself upon the floor, and in piteous
terms begs the spirit of the child to
grant him pardon for the terrible
deed. He VOWS to make pilgrimage
up the sacred mountain, to visit every
shrine of Buddha and Kwannon in
Shikoku and to pay to the temples
thousand yen. This is his penance,
and his wife feels that atonement has
been made. Together they traverse
the island in nightly marches, or dis
guised as humble peasants. But it
never once entered their minds to
give up their wicked ways, and so all
the remaining years of their lives they
were menace to the neighborhood,
but with their ill-gotten gains they
purchased merit in the heaven of
their superstitions.

THE CARE OF GOD.

There is an Eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an Ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light.
There is an Arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails
When earthly loves decay
That Eye is fixed on Seraph throngs;
That Ear is filed with angels songs;
That Arm upholds the worlds on high,
That Love is throned beyond the sky.

EIE ton. Ihey were almost
giants in stature and
quite giants in strength and ferocity.
The woman in herstrange calling
seemed quite as hardened and terri
BILE as her husband.
They chose the prosperous city of
Tokushima and the rich plain round
about as the scene of their midnight
exploits and carried terror far and
near into the hearts of the simple vii
layers. Mothers subdued unruly
children by telling them if they were
not good the doroho (thieves) would
come and carry them off. No one
fingered abroad by choice after night
fall, and shops and dwelling houses
were securely fastened shortly after
sunset. The officers of the law
searched everywhere for the rendez-
vous of the pair and followed every
trace with unavailing zeal. The gov
eminent offered liberal rewards, but
in vain.
Into the mountain howell of these
wild people came tiny baby daugh-
ter. Even her pure and innocent face
and winning baby ways failed to pro-
duce softening effect. So hardened
was that mother that when the little
daughter grew large enough to be a
menace that their hiding place would
be revealed through her innocent
prattle. at the tender age of three,
that mother sent her away to her
grandmother who lived in a distant
village. This was most fortunate for
the child, for the oba san grand
mother) was an honest, upright wom-
an who had used all her persuasive
powers to get her daughter to give
up the degrading life she was lead
ing, and who mourned ever in secret
at the waywardness of her own flesh
and blood. The little girl grew up
in that distant village knowing moth
ing about her parentage, kept by low
ing care from knowledge of evil;
modest, loving, obedient. She was
troubled though, that she had no ia
ther and mother when all the child
rem about, with whom she associated,
had. She questioned her grand
mother closely and at last discovered
that her parents were not dead as she
had supposed. Further than this she
could learn nothing except the home
names of her parents, for the grand
mother was as silent as the grave
about their dwelling place and man
ner of living. The longing to see her
parents grew and grew in the child's
heart until at last she could not sleep
or eat, and the thought came to her
almost as a command that she start
forth and search until she find them.
Well trained as she was in obedience
she would do nothing without per-
mission. The grandmother, besieged
with entreaties and prayers and tears,
finally thought there would be no
other way to content the child but to
let her go forth on what she was sure
would be an unavailing search. Pro-
fessional robbers, of all people, would
be the hardest to trace.
Thus at the tender age of ten, clad
as beggar as a protection to her
age and sex, but with tidy sum of
money in her belt, o Tsuru San set
off on her long search. In keeping
up her character as beggar, she for
some days partook of food that had

THE BOAST OF HEALTH.
Fsncied Improvement Often Immediately
Precedes Death.

Fancied Improvement Often Immediately
Precedes Death.
All doctors know that Just before
death the patient often experiences
what is called a rally" nature,making
apparently her last stand against the
symptom which we call death; and it
is quite likely that the feeling which
induces men to boast of health is of
the same kind-an effort of nature to
protect us against the coming sickness
which the body has recognized, though
the mind has not. The phenomenon
occurs every day in the cases of con-
sumptive patients, who brighten up
and grow hopeful just when the dis
ease is about to strike it's hardest
blows, and tits quite possible that it
is more frequent than has yet been rec
ognized that the approach of fever, for
example, is signaled by an unusual con-
seriousness of health.
II have never felt so well in my life,"
says the patients, who, twenty-four
hours after, is lying PROSTATE, and
whose friends quote his statements as
illustrating once more the ancient and
depressing belief.
The boast had nothing to do with the
illness, but it preceded it, and men, at
tracted by the violent contract, almost
instinctively link the two together as
in some way and to some extent cause
and effect. Next time those who heard
it, if they feel that rush of health in
their veins, will avoid boasting of it;
and the relation of the two will escape
attention. Moreover, it must not be
forgotten that boasting is of itself a
sign of weakness, either temporary or
permanent, and that, consequently,
failure follows boasting more frequent
ly than it follows silence. The perfect
driver says he is perfect just when he
is most careless, and the resulting spill
is remembered when the thousand and
one escapes due to the same drivers
skill and hardihood are clean forgot
