TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Feed skim milk calves grain as soon
as they will eat it. The fat forming
habit gained in their first three
months will stick to them.
Fall calves come in at a time when
they can be disposed of at n profit, for
meat is usually higher then than in
the spring, when there is a surplus of
calves. The sale of these may buy al
most the whole of the feed for the
cows for the winter.
The character of the food influences
the yield of butter from any cow.
Succulent food increases the flow Of
milk, although it does not increase
the percentage of water in it. While
the flow Of milk is Of as fully good
quality as at other times.
Cows which die at ealving time are
usually off flush pasture. 1t is a
good plan, in the warm summer
months, TO avoid milk fever by shut
ting up the cows in the barn for two
or three weeks before parturition, and
feeding them nothing but dry hay and
oats.
1t is perhaps too much to expect all
farmers to keep thoroughbred cows,
for they could not afford the cost, but
there are often excellent cows among
highly graded stock, which, if careful
ly selected, will prove all that one
could ask. The great secret is in
knowing and culling out those which
are unproftatie. -Rural World.

He was a wise Doctor He looked at

the end may come any minute"
The pale face of the sick girl grew
slightly paler, but she made no reply
Her eyes were looking far away. She
heard the doctor walk softly down the
steps, as if for the last time. 1t was
good TO be alone. She was in her chair
on the porch of the little cottage. The
broad ocean lay before her. Some chill
dren were digging holes in the sand on
the beach. 1t was but a few weeks
surely since she was a child playing
there. She was but 16 now.
"A week? Or now, in minute? And
--after?"
She shut her eyes, trying TO think il
out. She was member Of the church;
she had been confirmed last spring.
But what did she know about that
other place? She tried to remember
but her head ached. This was so real

baby who was asleep on her breast
Little black Ben was stretched out in

The low sunset light struck across
the sea, and the fish leaped up into the
light and sank down to their homes
Above the water were myriads of bright
winged flies, darting and humming out
Of pure Joy that they were alive.
Suddenly, as to Luther, when IN de

girls soul that the Maker Of the world
the Author of all this life-nevel
ceased to care for His own. For every
rational and irrational creature He ha.
planned a something and somewhere
in loving kindness.
Then the words Of the Son Of Coo
came TO her: I'm my Fathers ouse art

First Coaches in London.

Riding was the only alternative tc
walking at the beginning of Elizabeth's
reign, and lady never rode without
six Or seven serving men to carry attire
suitable to all contingencies, and the
means to repair a toilet which might
suffer on the journey. To diminish this
cost coaches came into use. They were
introduced in 1864 by Dutch coachman
of the queen; but we are told "a
coach was a strange monster in those
days, and the sight of it put both man
and horse into amazement; some said
it was great crabshell brought out of
China, and some imagined it to be one
of the pagan temples in which the can
nibals worshiped the devil.' But at
length these doubts were cleared and
coachmaking became substantial
trade. So rapid was the increase of
coaches that in 1901 an act of parlia-
ment was passed ''to restrain the ex-
cessive and superhuous use of coaches
within this realm" In spite of this in
novation, no method could be devised
which made locomotion pleasant
through streets which were alternately
torrents of dirt finding their way to
the Fleet ditch, and thick deposits of
black mud, which furnished ready
weapon to anyone who wished to ex-
press disapprobation. 1t is difficult for
us to picture London without either
cabs or omnibuses.-Cornhill Maga.
