Tinted States. It conies from Hol-
land and adjoining countries. White
and black in any proportion are the
colors recognized in tilts country.Occasinally pure-bred cows produce
red and white calves. The breed is
a large one, cows of 1300 to 1500
pounds being commonly found. They
are frequently somewhat .coarse in
form and bony in structure. Perhaps
no breed gives a larger qnantity of
milk ; usually with a moderate per-
centage of fat. Claims of a good
degree of merit fur beef production
are made of this breed. The calve,

Two Readings.
A young farmer who had great
conceit, little discretion, and scarcely
any education, presented himself
Once at a Presbyterian Conference
.and said he wished to be ordained as
.a preacher. "1 aint had any great
learning," he said, frankly, "but I
reckon I am called to preach. I've
had a vision three nights running ;
that's why I'm here." t' What was
your vision?" inquired one of the
elders. "Well," said the young
man, "I dreamt I saw a big round
ring in the sky and in the middle of
it was two great letters, ' I'; 0.' I
knew that t meant n Presbyterian Presb t rian Con-
ference, and here 1 e.m." There
was an uncomfortable pause which
was broken by an elder who knew
the young man and was well
acquainted with the poverty of his
family and the neglected condition of
•their farm. "I haven't any gift at
reading visions said ' the old mall
.gravely, but I'd like to put it to my
young friend whether he does not
think it possible that those two
letters may have stood for ' plant

A True Gentleman.
One of the highest eeomiums that
can be pronounced upon any young
man, worthy of it, is to say that he
s a true gentleman, There is a
world of meaning in the term. It is
more than strict conformity to
written rules of the best fashionable
etiquette. One may be faultless in
his adherence to the best form of
social behaviour, and yet lack much
of the true gentleman. The true
gentleman is the soul of honour, is
beautifully candid, is deeply con-
siderate of the rights of others, is
quick to acknowledge his own
faults rather than lay them on
others, and consults the good of
others rather than seek his own
preferment. The true gentleman i
known by his strict sense of honour
by his sympathy, his gentleness, his
forbearance and his generosity. He
nor I
is essentially a man o truth, speak-
ing and doing right at all simes, not
merely in private behaviour.
Truthfulness is mobil transparency.
Hence the true gentleman promises
nothing he has not the means of
performing. lie never breaks his
word, for he scorns to lie, in word or
deed, and is ready to brave all eon -
sequences rather than debase him-
self by falsehood. No dishonest
man is a true gentleman, nor is he
who purposely takes advantage of
another, whether, the latter be a foo
or friend. The true gentleman does
by others as he would have others l
do by him.—Ex.

Don't Prune in Zero Weather
Much has been said about pruning
trees during the mild days of
winter. Nov I wish to protest
against any pruning until the zero
weather is past. If the young
orchard tree has one central trunk,
and side branches eight inches apart
coming out at right angles;, very
little pruning will be necessary,

Now that the ground is covered
with its white mantle, we welcome

fortunate enough to possess. The
unfolding of the lovely white flower
of a.Roman Hyacinthe on Christmas
Day, and the subsequent opening of
other flowers in the sarne pot have
given more pleasure in my household
than I can describe; the flowers are
still blooming in this particular pot,
and their fragrance is a choice
delight.

which they were planted, giving;
promise of a rare succession of bloom

waiting and careful attention by
their intrinsic beauty and fragrance.
Now look out sharp for the insect
pests ; once you see them, make war
on thein right away. Whatever
you do must be done promptly and
thoroughly. A thorough spraying
with some good insecticide dissolved
in water' should be given occasional-
ly ; or if the enemy is red spider,
spraying with clear water will be all
that is required.
Keep the soil well stirred round
the pots and avoid giving too mutes

as moist as possible, as the hot air of
a furnace or coal stove is detrimental
to plant life.
The long dreary winter would be
dull indeed were it not for the flowers
we may all have with just a little
trouble. What is nicer than to take
a plant or bulb of one's own growing
as a present to some *shut-in friend;
how much such a gift is appreciated
only those know who have given
themselves to the luxury of doing
this. I have been unfortunate with
most kinds of plants for winter
blooming, having tried • geraniums,
fuchsias, begonias, roses and many
others, and have generally failed,
sometimes signally so. But' with
bulbs I always succeeded, they are
so easy to manage and do not mind
an occasional cold snap, and invari-
ably give such good results that I
have got to feel that there is at least
one class of flowers that I may have
for the winter, and with that I am
both content and delighted.
