Those with a healthy appetite for good wholoeome reading which they take to as naturally as they do to beefsteak and potatoes, and theeo who because, of various ciente e'anCee have not been thrown much with books, and who think that they do not like to read, though they really do not know whether they do or not, and lastly, those wl nee tanto has become vitiated by reading the trashy, exciting, cheap litlratuie, which has inundated the Country like a flood, until other bot.Lo ',c•em .tale and fiat to them. Now this article is chiefly for the too leiter sorts of boys, and for the last mentioned °lees I am partieu- lerl)/ sorry became they are not. very well In their minds, and I would like to cure them if I could. I wish I could make every boy who roads ibis understand the unspeak able delight which comes from read - hie s et ed book, then I should be sure tl.nt whatever else may fail him in the nay of earthly joys lie would be rare of ono great happiness and col.setation. Boys who are in business partite- ule.rly need to cultivate the habit of reading because they are apt to leave rohool early, and if they are. not careful they Bill become so ab- sorbed in the fierce competition which now characterizes all sorts of but'itoes that by the time they aro twenty five they will care for notb• ing else, and by the time they are fifty they will bo in , condition of a poor man whom I once know, who, broken in health, but with more money than ha could use, still dragged himself daily to business, and went on making more, because, as he pitifully remarked ho "did not know what oleo to do." "But," says my business boy, who works nighte during the busy season, and who "doean't Ick° read. ing," "Do you suppose that I could study English literature ?" Certainly I do. A hey who can spare on an average an hour a clay for reading will be able to read a good deal in the conreo of the year. "But," says my boy who "doesn't Phe reading,' "I can't bear poetry." When a boy says that to me 1 al- ways try him with "Horabina ab the bridge," or Tennyson's ballad of "The Revenge." If he does not hke either of those poems I conclude that he is right iu his own estimote of his taste ; But I never mot a boy who did nob like ,Nuala poetry. "Well," says my boy again, "his- tory is awfully dull, I never can re- member the dates." "33n1," I gnawer, "you can re- member the century in which the events °emurred, and that will do vary well. Try it with Green's "Shorter IIiebory of the Engiiob People," and see if yen cannot. For coleys, tty °harles Dudley Wernor's "Bei'ig a Boy," end ..y°u wi'1 die• cover that an essay is not nocosear• ily a dull and uninteresting thing, "as dry as a chip," ss many rt boy supposes. For biographies take-- perhaps—Jae. T. fields' "Yester• days with Authors," or Noah Brooks "Historic Boys," or "Sea Kings nod Naval Heroes, ' by J. G. Edgar, and for a story of travel and adventure lake Lieut. Greely's "Three Years of Arobio Service," You will 110t understand all of the seienttfio aline Mini, but if your heart does not beat fast by the time you have finished reading how Lieut. Lockwood with his two devoted companions won the "Farthest North," then you are not the boy I take roc for. For novele, there is gallant Sir Walter Scott, one of my childhood's very beet friends. If you do not know him, you had best read, "Ivanhoe" right away. Then there is nohow). I am so constituted that I cannot understand how anyone can help liking Diokene, but I know that there are people who do not. The best short story that I know of for boys is Edward Everett Bale's "Man Without a Oountry." And now, "my boy who doesn't like to road," if you should read ono of the articles or books in enah elms 'vbioh I bave named, do you realise that you would have lied a taste of history, biography, essaye, poetry and novels 2 and theeo aro the coin. ponent parts of general Eugllsh lit- erature, and after having taken a Mete you will disoover that the table is spread, and yon have only to help yourself judiciously to whatever you please, and the habit of reeding good books when olia0 formed, ll-sido1 giving a great deal of pioneer°, eau• not fail to make you a cultivated man whether you have had the ad. vantage of being trained in the schools or not. :H'n.rrn INote,s. DAIRY 2002100 Keep the milch eowe away from stagnant water. Careless milking has rained mac an otherwise valuable cow. Every farmer's wife makes th best butter. Where does the poo butter come from ? A cow calving in the fall, if prop erly fed and oared for, will brin more profit in a year than if ell naives in May, if milk or butter i t0 be sold. Cows inherit the propensity t give largo or small quantities n milk, but still the quantity will be varied greatly by the treatment to which they ere subjected. All things considered, the Iargeot flow of milk is the moat profitable, unlose it is smeared at too great ex - pens°, and reason must 0e. used hero as in all other things. A. °horn should never be more than half full of °renin, to onsuro which it el.iould not he quite half full before starting, for after a few rovolubions the cream swells to the extent of considerebiy increasing its bulk, It pays to produce the best. An inferior article is always sold at a loss, while the man who hes the best cows, the best butter, the best beef, the choicest poultry, well dress- ed, or the best butter, put up in neat packages, always sells his goods at n profit. In kooping your cows healthy and sexing that they have only clean and wholesome food and water, you eervo a double purpose : You not only improve your own chances fou profit, hat you contribute to the promotion of public health by offer- ing only wholesome dairy products for cunsumpbion. Every dairyman must admit that it no longer pays to maks anything but the best quality of butter, aa all low grades come in direct oom• petition with oleomargarie and im- itation button. Butteremaking is indeed the fine art of agriculture. 11 consists 1n tt series of proeessee and conditions, all of which moat bo correct, that the result, the but. ter, may be perfect. A careless or slow milker should never bo tolerated on tho dairy farm. While tho cow relaxes the muscles f her udder "00 give down" the milk, the bag should be relieved as apidly ae possible. If the milking s prolonged the mow will hold up er milk, simply because ebo is tirol of the other position. Some f the milk will not then be scoured, and, remaining in the udder, will ave its well understood effect of making the cow go dry. A oozy al• aye minced rapidly will give more and maintain the milk flow longer than if subjected to the opposite reatment, y 0 5 a 0 f 0 r h 0 w 'Varieties.
