STOCK.

Do not feed the pigs sour milk before
they are week or 10 days old. Bran
mashes are best at first.
Six good thrifty pigs to SOW are
better than a dozen runts. Every SOW
is not good mixer; they differ as
much as cows. The pigs must have all
they will eat, for slow growth brings
poor returns. The pretty pig is always
the fat one.
No hog, except those kept for breed
ing purposes. can show good cause why
he should be living after he is one year
old. He should have been in the
scalding trough at eight months.
Take good care of the colt for the
first two years; he will help himself
afterward, to great degree, if he has
chance.
For the future ewes the twin lambs

necessary that twin Landing should be

cessfully, and the training is done by
feeding.
1t does not pay to give stock stimu-
lating food. Good, wholesome grain
and hay or grass for cattle, horses and
sheep and the grain and grass for hogs
are all that are necessary to make them
grow to perfection.
Well bred pigs which are kept grow
ing are ready for the market all the
time, while scrub hogs do not begin to
grow fat until they have got age on
them.
Fed as whole. oats makes complete
ration, furnishing grain and roughness.
There is less waste when they are cut
and moved away the same as hay than
when they are bound into sheaves, as
there is less opportunity for the stock
to get into the habit of eating off the
heads and allowing the straw to go to
waste.
The difference in the price between
we'll bred stock and scrubs. when sent
to market. ought to be sufficient argu-
ment to induce any one to breed the
best.
When given all that they will eat at
each meal, animals will tire of any one
article of food. They may, and usually
do, eat if healthy, but they do not de-
YOUR as much or with such good diges-
tion as when good variety is supplied.
Perhaps the most economical way to
feed oats is to run them through a cut
ting box and mix with small quantity
of bran. dampening slightly so that the
bran will stick to the oats. In this way
there will be no waste; all will be eaten
up clean. Horses. sheep and growing
cattle can be wintered and kept in a
good thrifty condition at low cost on
this kind of a ration if liberal quantity
be given.

AGRICULTURE.

IL grain is we'll stacked and a rain
comes after the thresher arrives the
work is not stopped an unnecessarily
long time, while il such thing hap
pens while threshing from the field, it
may cause days delay, if not more.
Have the silo walls tight enough to ex.
clude air, and the walls not only strong
but rigid. Have it 30 feet or more in
depth, il possible, and there should not
be more than about five square feet Of
surface to each animal.

in the corn at the time of the last pillow.
ing, it will not only have tendency to
choke out the weeds which start up
afterward, but there will be no dry
murrain among the cattle from eating
too freely of the dry stalks.
Cut worms come out of the ground
and travel to the nearest green thing.
They go with difficulty over a rough
surface, and cannot climb a perpen-
dicular bank of earth. These charac-
teristics teach us not to roll and use
smoothing harrow after the corn is up,
which make the surface so smooth that
the worms can travel rapidly. The best
check to cut worms is speedy and con-
slant working of the soil.
Many farmers procure an excellent
stand of clover in their wheat, but ex-
cessive pasturing of stubble fields de-
stroys more clover than good care or
treatment saves. Too o ten must the
land be plowed under in the spring or
the farmer be satisfied with a poor crop.
There is little use trying to reform
poor farmers by writing them up, for
they are the kind who never read any
newspaper, and good counsel is wasted
upon them. The example of one good
farmer in such neighborhood is worth
more than all that can be written and
printed about them.
Harrow plowed field just as often as
you think it needs it, and then harrow
it just as much more; if you then har.
opportunity you will seldom fail of a
crop Of wheat or oats,
There is no better sign of promise for
the future of agriculture than that our
farmers and farmers sons are seeming
to appreciate the value of higher edu-
cation in things applying directly to
their occupation.
DO not worry over the imaginary
danger of doubling the yield of grain by
good farming. Drain, manure and cul-
tivate all we please and we shall find
the profits to increase proportionately.
The "wasteful" farmer instead of
having an easy pair of stairs to climb to
reach the hay loft, has not even decent
ladder, but scrambles up by the corner
posts and braces, at expense of time and
muscle.

Where the full tide-wave sweeps,
Bringing along all shores and all degrees
Murmur of awful deeps,
Wherever the far sails go to and fro,
Where the four winds like four great
trumpets blow
Her happy name,
Out of the gray, out of the dark, love
leaps
Up like fame.
And as the tide-wave bearing its broad
swells
In farthest bends and bays,
Softly and silently and slowly wells,
And fills all salt sea ways,
So rehuent again returns the tide
OF hearts devotion gathering far and
wide
As winds are blown,
To break with sweet spent fall these sum
mer days
About her throne.
And here, where East and West the seas
keep guard,
And their blue surges pour
Holding the outposts with bright watch

In thunders down our shore,
Great Empress of mighty peoples life,
Sweet woman, tender mother, widowed

With sorrows crossed,
The hearts are hers that in the battles

Were longtime lost!

all the fine grass they need. There is no
food which will take the place of good,
rich grass. The finest grain mixture
ever devised will not answer so well. If
the grain is fed for the purpose Of max

another thing.

Selected Story.
THE FIVE-CENT DAY.
BY MRS. HENRY F. LANE.

I'D MA1AL1 D1nD was Aop-
lNI ping along in her cricket like
gait from meeting held by the wo-
men of the church in reference to the
missionary debt.
She looked sober and somewhat
ruffied. Hadn't oughter git inter
debt" she thought, mo more'n l
oughter, no sort of need ont if they'd
only kalkilated right"
She was walking up well-worn
path through her orchard, the key of
her back door in her hand. Suddenly
she stopped in amazement; her hen
house was half down, windows
broken, hens conversing about the
disaster, in groups and knots.
She examined the wreck-the hens
helping-and saw that the two main
supports had decayed, thus causing
the whole of one side to fall.
"What under the canopy shall l
dop she exclaimed, "No use to stan
here"-going towards the house
"wish the whole caboodle would"
The sentence never was finished, the
good old lady's momentary impa-
thence having gone.
That evening, Miss Bird consulted
the village carpenter, who would
make the hen-house good as new and
better, for four dollars and find him
self"-that is, eat at home. When
the price was named, Miss Bird hest
tated. eyer hens is yer main de-
pendence," said the man, $50 it STAINS
ye in hand to do we'll by EN-"
Money was scarce in Miss Birds
wallet. That was not all that dis
turbed her. 1t touched her pride be-
cause she always portioned out her
income and gloried in spending it
just as she said she would. She was
never in debt, and often said, "No-
body, an no s'ciety had any business
to be, no matter what happened"
She was an extremist in the matter.
When the hen-house was in order
the hens had become demoralized.
Having had more freedom than usual,
during the repairs they took longer
walks abroad, and went out of bust
ness with few exceptions. Miss Bird
gave them a greater variety of food,
frequent drinks of sour milk, and
similar polite collations, all to no eff
feet. They enjoyed the improve
ment in their table but were not will
ing to payl
Miss Bird is in her kitchen, with
an open letter in her hand. 1t is
from her cousin Cynthy. 1t reads:
"Stocks are down, provisions up, I've
had a siege of the grip; doctor bill
just awful Sorry, but l can't give
you but ten dollars this year, instead
of twenty, as l have done"

she added, sorrowfully, "she can't

Soon afterwards the old lady had
another upsetting letter. A friend
who always gave her the fuel she
used, was all taken up with the In
dams, "had less money this year, and
would have to forego the pleasure of
assisting her dear old friend"
Miss Bird was old and feeble,
could not work, but must be warmed
and fed. Her hens and other friends

The Troubles Travellers Have. Especially
With Cooks and Maps.
Many amusing stories are told of the
trouble american travellers have had
with the custom house authorities in
Turkey, especially with books and
maps. In the old days ones baggage
would be dumped down Oh the landing
place at Constantinople, and a turbaned
old Turk, tchibouk in hand, would 90
through pantomime Of examining
ones effects, which would be abruptly
brought to an end by the application Of
an appropriate coin to the palm of his
hand. But the political troubles that
began some years ago i'll the Ottoman
empire caused the government to insti-
tute more stringent system, and there
is now at Constantinople a custom
house more after the American style,
where number of effendis, in fezes
and Stambouli coats of the regular Off
cial cut, pry into ones luggage with
particular care in search of papers and
books and maps of revolutionary tend
ency or i'll which words forbidden to
be printed in Turkey may be found.
During the height of the Armenian
agitation especially close search was al
ways made for anything with the word
Armenia in it, and whatever it was
found Ill was summarily confscated.
On the occasion Of my last visit to Con-
stantinople l Happened to have map
OF Asia Minor among my papers, the
discovery of which greatly agitated the
examining etfendi, who spoke in Ian
guage he thought was French. "Ah,
Azeea Meenoor!' he exclaimed as he
spread it out, continuing in his Turko-
French, "Show me Erzerum. Having
pointed out to him the spot where that
city was to be found, he began running
his finger over the map until he struck
upon the letter A. This seemed almost
to take his breath away, but when a
short distance to the right of it he
found the letter r he fairly gasped,
The detection of the letter M following
it was liks an electric shock, and a
