LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

The first object in the feeding OF
young growing stock is to produce
rapid growth. =.
About the worst economy that can
be practiced on the farm is the scant
feeding of stock.
In fattening cattle it is of no advan-
tage at any time to givs more than is
readily eaten up clean. ..::.e
Keep the fattening isgs quiet, clean
and as comfortable as possible in order
to secure the best rapid gain.
With all classes Of stock profitable
feeding consists in giving the animals
all that they niRse(t and digeippp.
erly.
When sheep are grown for wool and
NUT ton care should be taken not to Gull
out the good muttons too closely for the
butcher.
Oats contain the material needed to
fora bone and muscle, and for this
reason are an excellent feed for young
and growing stock.
Without stock there can be no COM
r!ete utilization Of the products Of the
farm, such a is essential to the secur-
ing of the best profits.
Clover il one Of the best crops to
grow to build up run down farms, and
wherever clover can be grown the land
is not past building up.
Every part of the farm should he

rough to cultivate seed to grass for pas
turc or plant trees of some kind.

prosperous he will be, N the expenses

The NatNsl Result - Dolng Thiags ~
eocdiag 70 Old AeehoAs.
To run too long in one unvarying
channel Of business, man is prone TO be-
come spiritless, grows shiftless and un-
enterprising. He must vary or change
his methods, make new shifts, SO as to
give newness and variety to his ocupa-
ton, which serves to stir up an interest,
with q desire to see and enjoy the re-
suits of his handiwork. This interest
and desire begets energy, a. it were,
from whence follow other and often
greater efforts, and, 40 q matter Of
course. something profitable will be &C
conplished. This awakening to tho
calls of industry, in other words, is en-
terprise, without which no one is likely
to prosper mich ia any sphere. An en-
terprising spirit strives to accomplish
something as much for the pleasure in
its accomplishment as for the actual
need of the fruits of its labor.
With some it is difficult to get up this
euterprising spirit; especially SO with
such people us arc inclined to wake
things easy" and to "let every day pro-
vide for ITSELF" from which very cause
there are thousands of farms-to say
nothing Of the personal improvement
of families--throughou the country.
that are rendered unattractive and un-
dervalued by the despoiling effects OF
neglect. and which, by the touch of a
little rubbing up. SO to speak, would be
enhanced in value and made beautiful
q "apples of gold in pictures Of silver"
Many such farmers, too-as we are
chiefly speaking of farmers-are proud.
and want themselves and families to
stand fairly credible, yet neglect one of
the most essential means Of gaining
that respectability. For next to edu-
cation and refinement in our persons is
that of improving and identifying the
homes in which we dwell. So, then,
the father who wishes his family to en-
joy a respectable position in society
should also strive to have q bright and
attractive home for them.
The neglect Of the home and family
often comes of too eager pursuit after
money getting, sometimes Of petty
speculation, sometimes of too much
concern about public affairs and mary
other similar cause which detract st.
tention from home and home affairs
and as rule only half work is done any
where.
However the cause Of this unprogrfs-
sive way of managing affairs, it is one
that grows and soon becomes a rut. 50
to speak, that is hard to pull out of;
often it requires some external force to
get one out at all. But again a very 1T
tie sometimes serves to stimulate sp.r-
it Of progress. For instance, we once
knew q man who was led to make a
great change in his affairs by pctato
crop he reared turning ont exceedingly
well. and from which he realized a go,d
profit; and this stimulated him to turn
his attention to his crops more closely
and energetically. and which paid bet
ter and better year by year. till he b.
came quite prosperous farmer. Al
though the first step in this case was an
Involuntary one. we see, yet every one
can voluntarily take the first progress
sivc step if they will, and by determina-
ton strive after others, and success will
ultimately follow.-Cor. Epitomist.
