Heavy Cattle Not Best.

Nothing is better settled in stock hus-
bandry than that the large, heavyweight
animals of any kind are not the most
profitable to raise and feed. This
especially applies to cattle bred, raised
and fed expressly for beef. There is a
wide difference in the capacity for gain
between animals of differing proper
tions. There is also distinction in the
demands of the market along the same
line. In the first place a well bred ami
NAL responds most generously to the
feed, care and attention bestowed.
Then, further, the general makeup Of
the animal has an important bearing in
the same direction. Add to these the
fact that the market, the ultimate OBJ
iect and end of the stockman's efforts,
IS exacting as to the quality of its high
est preferences, and is ready to pay for
animals in proportion as they meet their
demands, and the greater profit to the
grower of animals meeting these require
ments at once appears.
Weight was once merit. Now quail
ity is the controlling factor. The high
est quality is found in the medium
weight, plump build, meaty animal,
and still carrying the calf fat to be built
upon and increased in weight so long as
kept. No other than young cattle meet
these conditions. No animal is too
young for premium price provided the
condition is there.
These requirements are all in line OF
greater profits from rearing and feeding
animals. 1t is an established fact that
the Younger the animal fed the less the
feed required per day, and the greater
the growth per day. AS the animal in.
creases in age and weight the amount of
feed increases in like ratio, while the
gain per day in weight goes down in
steady proportion. There is every rea-
son, therefore, for the stOckman to look
we'll after the breeding and the makeup
of the stock he would feed, and then tit
them for the market at the earliest age
practicable. Farmer.

HY0T was six years and more since

But he was Il handsome man. as

over ME and looked ut me more kindly
than l should have expected, and
could see something of our common
mother in his blue eyes. He reached

mine which | could muster strength tc

that | found myself better, and gave
me very many tender messages OF oul
mother, and Of his father likewise
which puzzled me exceedingly. until
matters We're explained.
Colonel Chelmsford had parted with
me when | left England with but
scant courtesy, and as for my poor
mother, had not seen her at all, she
being confined to her chamber with
grief over my disgrace, and not one
word had received from them since
that time. So when John Chelmsford
said that our mother sent her dear love
to her son Harry, and that nothing
save her delicate health had prevented
her from sailing to Virginia in the
same ship to see the son from whom
she had been so long parted, gasped
and felt my head reel, and called up
my mothers face, and verify l felt the
tears start in my eyes, but was very

To Avoid Fires on Farms.

Some excellent suggestions on the
above subject are given in the Farmers
Voice of recent date:
Whenever a farmer has not good
big bank account ahead, it is his duty
to keep his buildings and contents in
sured. as a fire might bankrupt him.
We do not advise heavy insurance, as
the insured ought to carry enough OF
his own risk to make him very careful
and watchful over his own property.
Matches should be kept in metal or
earthenware receptacles, and those car
carried away from the house Dc kept IN
small metal boxes, never loose in pockets,
as many farmers do.
A good, strong ladder long enough
to reach the caves of the highest build
ing on the farm, should be kept where
il can be had the darkest OF nights, and
il roofs are of shingles and very steep, a
light scaling ladder such as metal roof
roof painters use, is needed. One hun
dred feet of light "picket chain costs
but 81, and can be used to throw over
buildings with roofs too steep to scale,
and a fire fighter can use this to help
himself up. =,
A few pals Of water always should
be- kept handy in case of fire, as one
gallon of water at the start is worth a
barrel after the fire has had ten min
utes' headway.-New England Farmer

in my right shoulder, and then for a
minute my senses left me- But it-was
only for moment.
When l came to myself l was lying
bound, with a soldier standing guard
over me, though there was small need
of it, and they were raining battering
blows upon the door of Laurel Creek.
Somehow they had conceived the idea
that there was something Of great i'm
port therein by my mad and desperate
defense. | know not what they thought,
but gradually all the militia were CEN
tered Mt that point, striving to force
the door. As for the shutters, they were
heavily barred and offered no easier
entrance. Indeed, the whole house had
been strengthened for defense against
the Indians before the Bacon uprising
and was near as strong as fort. 1t
would have been well had we all en-
tered and defended it, though we could
sot have held out for long, through not
oeing provisioned.
At last Captain Jaynes and the other
gentlemen began to conceive the situa-
ton, and I caught sight of them fore
ing their way toward me and shouted
to them with a failing voice, for had
