TRUTH.

Truth seemed at first a welcome friend,
To whom I gave unhinching trust,
But when I knew her to the end
Time turned my fervor to disgust.
And yet truth lives forevermore,
Cold, pitiless, unyielding, stark,
And he who would her sway ignore
Must live forever in the dark.

Study Yourself,

In order to judge of the inside of others
study your own, for men in general are
very much alike, and though one has one
prevailing passion and another has an
other, yet their operations are much the
same, and whatever engages or disgusts,
pleases or otfends you in others will en-
gage disgust. please or offend others in
you.-Chesterfield.

HINTS FOR DAlRYMEN.

To make the most out of dairvinp
not only must the quality of the
product be good but it must be put
upon the market in the most attractive
form, and it must be done carefully
and regularly if the trade built up is
to be held.
MANY beginners fail to understand
the Importance of clean feed for the
cows. The cows yield milk of flavor
and richness according to their feed.
and when the best milk is expected
the feed must be supplied from which
it can be made.
ONE advantage of dairying in con-
nection with other farm work is that
it aids in securing regularity. Tc
make the best success, the feeding
milking and other work should be done
regularly; and this tends greatly tc
the promotion of a regular system in
all that needs to be done
WHILE the particular form of the
package in which the butter is sent tc
market must conform largely to the
demands of the market, there is one
fact that in all cases must be the rule.
and that is the packages must be neat
and attractive; and arranged or made
SO, the butter will he in good condition
when placed in market.-N. Y. indie.

1t is easy to middle the novice with
a variety of advice, and to get away
from the possibility of doing that |
wish to offer the following hints as the
most valuable and concise that occur
to me. Study your farm conditions and
learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it. If you are not able to
purchase even small flock of pure
bred or high grade sheep, then put all
you can advantageously in pure bred
ram, and after that do the best YOU
can in buying ewes. Start right, even
upon small scale. The sheep will
rapidly increase. In purchasing a ram
get one fully developed. strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
of his breed and sex. l have always
had an intuitive liking for the lamb
that will leave group of his fellows
in the field and boldly front you. Do
not purchase sheep that you have no
trust in for proper development. 1t is
only the experienced breeder who can
forecast development. Never take an
ill-doing sheep, even If it is cheap, with
the expectation that it will become
right In selecting sheep, handle them
so that you may know how much OF
their form is due to themselves and
how much to the shears. Select as
critically as you can to chosen type.
Uniformity is cheap feature for you
to buy and yet valuable one in a
flock. There is no sheep that embodies
perfection in sheep qualities. Judging
between different sheep is checking
of weakness and balancing of quail
ties. BE inclined toward the sheep
that appears better every time it
catches your eye. The purchaser will
find 1t to his interests to select from
the field fitted for show. The best
time to buy is usually in the fall. Pro
vision may be made with the seller to
have the ewes served by ram of diff.
ferent breeding from the one you buy,
and thereby you add another seasons

If there is any doubt of the advisa bll
ity of dehorning cattle in general,
there can be no doubt of the advisa,
bility of dehorning the bad-tempered
animal that is prone to drive his fell
lows from the water or feed trough. or
from the shelter. This animal does
not profit from the hurt it does others.
The quarrelsome animal never makes
as much fat or milk from its feed as it
would were it quiet and peaceable. and
1t reduces the thrift of the animals it
deprives of feed, water or shelter, if it
does not injure them. In nearly every
case such an animal will be thorough
ly reformed by dehorning; it will be
among the most peaceable among the
herd. In the few cases in which this
effect is not produced the animals ca
pacity to injure its fellows is much
lessened, and they will soon learn this

A NEW CATTLE FOOD.
Meat of Sunfiower Cake Now Used in Many

Meat of sunfiower Cake Now Used in Many
Parts of Europe.
Sunfower cake has been found, es-
pecially in Russia, one Of tho best
auxiliary cattle foods. AS early as the
year 1866 about 100000 centners of sun
flower oil Toll of the seeds of Helian-
thus annuus) were manufactured in
Russia, and its amount has increased
year by year, it being esteemed as
very palatable alimentary oil. The
oil was formerly obtained by hydraulic
means; the residual cake is harder
than any other variety of oil cake, and
for this reason apparently it has not
found wider application. Denmark
and the northern countries import
large quantities annually, as do also
the eastern provinces of Germany, and
the problem of it's disintegration has
been successfully solved by several
manufacturers there. 1t is still un-
known In southern and western Ger
many; now, however, that 1t is put on
the market in the form of meal it will
doubtless soon find general applica-
ton, suited, as it is, both on account
of its composition and pleasant taste,
for fattening cattle. The percentage
of proteid varies between about 80 to A
per cent, the fat between about to IS
per cent 1t is possible to prepare two
qualities, one rich in proteid and poor
in fat, and the other rich in fat and
poor in proteid. When, for example,
the somewhat Underground meal is
sifted, employing mesh of l NM,
that which passes through is much
richer in proteid and poorer in fat
than the original, while the reverse is
true Of that which remains in the sieve.

enrich forest lands while they are COW

OF leaves added annually is a carpet
