dowed by their creator with certain
inherent and inalienable rights;
among which are life, liberty and the
pursu Of happiness. That to secure
these rights and the protection of
property governments are instituted
among mon, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov

these were new truths, and strange
truths in government. At that tiuIe

governments were founded and on

said to all the world that force and

right That just powers of govern
ment can be derived only from the
consent of the people who are to be

the liberties of an oppressed people
away from home. Our flag is yet on

to raise money for the purpose. Prof.
O'Connor, superintendent of schools

TIMELY DAIRY TOPICS.

If the COW will convert her
food into milk, feed her all she
will eat.
Has the COW been COmforta.
bic all winter? If not she is los
ing you money. The COW must
be kept warm and fed such food
as she can digest.
If you let the cow get cold,
her milk will shrink and she
never again can give as much
milk as she did before she was
chilled, until she has another
calf.
Always feed the COW that is
with calf well; and remember
that the calf is a bunch of mus
Gle and bone. Therefore feed
such as will make muscle and
bone. Do, not feed too much
corn.
Pay no attention to the man
who tells you that you cannot
feed quality into milk. It is
nonsense, pure and simple,
Good, rich food will make bet

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

We do not advise extensive
melon culture. The markets
in summer are usually glutted
with melons,
Sweet corn comes up much
sooner if it is soaked over night
in warm water, and the crop is
tit for use just, that. much soon
er.
Potatoes grow better if plant
ed before beginning to sprout.
The seuond sprouts that start
are not so strong as the first.
If the trees need pruning, it
is easier to prune. as soon as the
necessity shows itself than it is
after several seasons of neglect.
Potatoes will make good q, use
OF large quantity Of coarse
manure, whether. 1t, is. plowed
under or put on the land after
planting.
1t is a good plan to mulch
raspberries, as it has been
shown that mulched plants wall
produce much better berries
than those left unprotected by
drying winds, Western Plow-
man.
