While Easter is for every age and
condition, there are none to whom it
can have deeper meaning than to the
invalid and to the aged, and none to
whom loving ministrations can bring
truer joy. The beautiful lilies, the
helpful Easter booklets, the appropri-
ate pictures, the written verse, the
bright greeting, are thrice welcome to
the ''shut-ins'' who have less varied
sources of happiness than have 9TH
ers. Let them not be forgotten, the
aged mother in the neighbours home
nor in ones own-the fever GONZALES

laundress' family, the suffering daugh-
ter in the house on the hill. The ex-
preston need not represent expendi-
ture of money. 1t may take the form
of letter, dainty and cheerful, or of a
short poem, prettily copied, delivered
personally or by post, and if a flower go

sweeter is it.

FEEDING FoR PROFIT.
The Greatest Care and Judgement Are
Necessary in starting Cattle on
a Corn Diet.

In handling cattle be gentle with
them. Don't brighten them. Remezn-
Der that you are in partnership with
your steers in the beef business, and
partners should be on good terms
with each other. The greatest care
should be taken in starting on corn.
Give plenty of hay and slower (corn
stalks) and a few ears of corn at each
feeding twice day. Increase the corn
slowly, and see to it that each steer
gets his share. It is best to take about
three weeks to get them on fun feed.
Corn fodder with ears on) is good to
give them at first. Scatter it over the
ground. But this is not practical ex-
cept for small bunch. Feed regularly
twice day and always go an hour be-
fore feeding time and clean out the
managers. If the corn is not too large
and hard it may be fed with shucks on,
breaking the ears. Big, heavy, solid
ears should be shelled. Crushing cob
and grain is some advantage, but may
not pay for the expense. If you feed
cob meal, always feed some ear corn
also. Give steers their choice.
find that it pays to feed clover hay to
beef cattle. Nice corn fodder is SPLEEN
did also. Water regularly and album
dainty. Remember that about one
half of the gain you put on consists of
water and it is about the cheapest food
you can give. If you have plenty of
hogs to take up the waste you can
feed to better advantage. During the
last 80 days of the feeding period, give
oilcake or cottonseed meal five pounds
day to each steer. It will give a nice
bloom to their coats. Don't start in
to feed thin lot of steers ON full grain
ration. Corn is poor muscle maker.
It is better to produce muscle on
grass, fodder, and other cheaper feeds
and do the finishing with corn. Nine
tydays ought to be long enough on full
corn feed.-Orange Judd Farmer.

It was long past the hour for steady
going villagers to be in bed. Lin Bur-
dell, fed. washed. conso1ed, was sleep
ing like an infant, in one of Thusa's
lavender-scented bedgowns. Her ben
efactress sat by the small window,
gazing out across the fields. She
was restless, and her thoughts were
of her old lover. Ministering to the
starved and homeless wait had set her
thinking of what might have been. if
she had not been so proud and defiant
in those early days. Henry had sure
" been entitled to an explanation.

binary friend. (Alas! he had seen it,
after he had forged his own fetters.)
So pride and regretful love battled
in the lonely heart. The night wore
on, and Lii Burdell dreamed 1aven-
der-scented dreams. 1t was halfway
to dawn when Thusa, reproducing
herself for wasted time and strength,
crept into bed beside her adopted
child
Henry Gleason was also keeping
vigil with memory. A chance word
with Nathan Burnside had led to an
explanation of that summer evening
ride so long ago. Was it too late to
sue for pardon? Would Thusa be de-
fcient in proper pride, if she would
listen to a second avowa1? She still
remained young and lovable in his
eyes. Yet, after all, she had been to
blame in not explaining the breaking
of the appointment.
So pride and affection contended in
the widower's heart also. The circles
made in the ocean by the casting in of
a pebble go on widening; and phi

movement produces never-ending Vi
brations in the cosmic ether. The

Her mother looked at her doubt

went to the buttery for the prunes.
The window looked on a side lane, and
Thusa was startled to see that it was

desperate hand was emptying the bowl
of prunes, scattering the purple juice
recklessly over the snowy shelves.
Thusa suppressed a little scream.

About Sowing Mixed grasses.

When mixed grasses are to be sown
with the hope of harvesting a future
hay crop. care should be taken that
the grasses sown mature at about the
same time. 1t would not be a good
plan to SOW timothy and orchard grass
together, because one natures several
weeks earlier than the other. If the
grass is cut when the timothy is too
mature the orchard grass viii be too
far gone to make good hay, while if
the mixture is cut at the time the or
chard grass is mature the timothy will
be too green to cure well. besides be-
ing deficient in nutriment. A man be-
fore sowing mixed grasses for hay
should study the tables that show at
what periods these grasses ripen.-

thoughts set vibrating in those two
practical, middle-aged hearts were to
have swifter results than either
dreamed.
Two. or three days later, just before
Easter, Lii Burdell was carrying a
basket along the village street. She
wore a made-over calico gown of Miss
Thusa's, shoes and stockings, warm
underclothing, and neat straw hat
on her smooth: hair. Proud of her de-
cent apparel and the trust reposed in
her as represented by a quarter
tightly cIinched in one hand, she ex-
amined the houses along the street,
and finally stopped hesitatingly be-
fore one.
Miss Thusy said, "a white house
with green shutters but 1 can't re-
member whether she said the first
or the second. I've forgot the name
too, so [ must run my chances.
There's some hens a-squawkin', any
way"
She opened the gate and walked
boldly up thefiagged walk to the front
door. The true city gamin, male or
female, is untroubled by bashfulness.
Her ring was answered by a tall,
thin, gray-haired man with melan-
choly gray eyes. Lii held out the
basket in one hand and the quarter
in the other, saying:
''Miss Thusy says will you please
let her have a dozen fresh eggs
for Easter, an she wants 'em good

Henry Gleason stared at the odd
little figure, who stood stock-stin aft
er delivering her message.
Miss Thusy! Was the world com
ing to an end? Then the explanation
occurred to him. Thusa must have
sent this queer child to his next
neighbor, Mrs. Wilson. who sold eggs
regularly, and the girl had mistaken
the house.
A sudden thought whirled into his
mind. Not being widely read in the
poets, the line
Take the goods the gods provide thee,
did not occur to him, but he acted on
the principle implied. He took the
basket and the money. and babe the
child come in. He was alone, the
housekeeper having gone to the next
town to do some trading" and the
hired boy was blowing.
Easter eggs! Thusa should have
such an Easter basket as no yeung girl
in the village could boast. In the bot
tom of the basket, he arranged two
dozen of the finest, freshest eggs he
could find in the henhouse. Then he
wrote a hurried note-not high-sound-
ing, but with true love in every line.
Truly he was making up for lost time.
He slipped the money inside, sealed the

THE EoRsE STABLE.
How to Avoid mistake. Calculated
to Cause Annoyance and Loss
o. Money.

A great many mistakes are made in
the construction of farm stables. Of
course, no plan can be devised that will
suit everyone, because tastes, opinion
and IDEAS of beauty, utility and con-
venience differ materially. 1 believe
the time is rot distant when all our
stable and tbreshing floors viii be
made OF cement, yet great many peo-
pie do not like them. Next to cement
I would use elm plank. There is no
other timber so good for this purpose.
It is easily procured, and cheap. There
are few farm forests that do not have
elm. When sawed into planks it is
tough and pliable, and when properly
taken care of is very durable. I find
it better than oak or other hard wood
lumber. It is easier on horses feet,
and they will not slip on it so easily as
on oak and other hard wood. Elm

it is laid. Put it in green. when it comes
from the mil. If perfectly dried and
seasoned the door will be so close that
moisture, wiz swell the plan1s until
they warp. Use the green plank and
all this will be avoided.
A drop floor IN the rear of the stable,
to aid in clearing out manure, is great
convenience. Il saves much tiresome
prodding with the fork against lift
ting, uneven edges of plank. In a IL
foot stable, which is amply large, this
drop should be feet wide. This leaves
10 feet for stall and manger. With
scoop-shoveI and the drop arrange
ment, one seldom needs to use a fork
in cleaning out.
One mistake that is often made in
planking stable floor is to incline the
plank from the manager back. A slight
incline is possibly proper, but much of
a fall backward compels the animals
to stand continually with stretched
tendons and is an injury to them. [

These managers flare out both ways,
as shown, and I think are the ideal in
which to feed fodder. The objection
able feature in feeding whole fodder in
the barn is that the horses usually
work the coarse material under their

TIMELY HORSE TALK.

Do not use an unsound mare for
breeding, nor one that is naturally vi
cious.
1t will pay to breed mules; they must
be large. Size counts the same as it
does in horses.
In breeding give the cheap scrub the
go by = you have lost enough by pat
ronizing him.
You want your horses not only in
good condition, but you want them
able to work and keep in good eondi-
ton. This can only be done by giving
them proper exercise during the fit
ting.
Carefully wash and clean every har-
ness before the mud and the spring
rains. Repair or replace weak straps
and oil thoroughly. A harness will
last just twice as long if kept clean
and well oiled.-Farm Journal.

Pure Rreeda an Iavera

It is no question of fad, but a com
mercial fact, that the pure breeds lay
as well, they fatten as well, as the
mongrels, and the contingent chances
of profit in extra prices obtained for
pure breeds gives them the decided
advantage. First crosses with pure
breeds may actually give higher av-
erages in egg production for the sea-
son, but one has to set against this
advantage the breeding losses in the
second season. 1t pays best to keep
to purity, and breed amongst your
pure breeds for the best layers, or
table birds, whichever may be your
particular object. So many breeders
have no object. They do not much
care either way. To such, of course,
we have nothing to say.-Rural World

"Come around to the kitchen
door," said Thusa, pitying1y. She
spread a second slice of bread, and
poured into a little pink-sprigged cup
her own slender allowance of milk.
In view of such abject misery, what
mattered milkless tea and a short
ened ration of bread and butter? The
girl slipped around to the kitchen door
and stood there, ragged, unkempt, al
together wretched. Thusa watched
her compassionately, as she ate and
drank like a starved animal-for the
time being she was little more. TAX
ing the cup from the grimy fingers,
and going back to wipe the shelves,
Thusa brought out a third slice of
bread and butter.
By gentle questioning, she learned
that the girls name was Lii Burdell;
that she was IS years old; had lived
with woman in New York, who beat
and abused her, trying to make her
steal; and that she had run away;
tramping and begging by day; sleep
ing in barns at night; honestly try
ing to get work at the farmhouses;
and nervously warned off the prem
ises of most, with few cold pieces,
as if she had smallpox, that dread of
rural districts.
Her clothing was literally rags
fastened about her, heaven knows
how! yet there was a certain frank
and independent look about the small,
sharp features, despite the stolen
prunes. Thusa's starved maternal
feelings yearned over the child. She
brought her in to sit by the fire, then,
softly closing the door between
kitchen and sitting-room, she told
her mother the pitiful story. Mrs.
Hill let the tea grow cold in her cup
as she listened.

she refilled her mothers cup, ."'that we

1t ought to be self-evident that all
filth of every kind should be removed
from the hens nest, and on no ac-
count should one be allowed beneath
the roosts where the hens remain on
their perch through the night. Fowls
always pass their excrement once or
twice, if not oftener, during the
night, and this falling into a hens
nest will inevitably soil the nest and
the eggs. This is bad for the hens,
for it soils their feathers, but it is
still worse for the eggs, which have
porous shells, through which foul
odors pass and spoil the egg. The evil
is worst in hot wether, as the efluvia
destroys the life in the germ of the
egg, and if the egg is to be eaten it
does not make it more appetizing to
know that its porous shell has been
in contact with filth. Therefore buy
ers of eggs should look to the shells,
and reject those that are dirty or
that show signs that they have been
washed.-American Cultivator

PaschaI Candles symbolism.

The Paschal candle is the name given
to the light which appears on the Cos
pei side of the altar during mass and
vespers from Easter to Whit Sunday.
It symbolizes the rising from the grave
of Christ, the Light of the World -
In the year 1457 it was recorded that
the candle used at Canterbury was Of
300 pounds weight. There is klss zen
toned as matter of history that on
one occasion the PaschaI candle in the
church at Norwich, England. was so
tall that it had to be lighted through
an opening in the roof over the choir.
