Slow to and ho the sentry paced, Ilis musket on his shoulder, But not a thought ot death or 'war Was with this brave young soldier; Ah, no his heart was far away, Where, on a western prairie, A rose.twined cottage stood. That night The countersign was "Mary." '011 ! for one kiss tivin bar l'' he sighed, When up the lone road glancing, He spied a slender little form With faltering steps advancing, And as it neared him silently, He gazed at it in wonder ; Then dropped his musket in his hand, And challenged, "Who goes yonder ?" Still on it came. "Not one step more, Be you 131021 01 child or fairy, Unless you give the countersiup. Halt I Who goes there ?"

Farmers are gradually learning that if they would keep their animals in a good, healthy condition, they must not over.feed them, but give them only what they will eat up clean. From observation we are satisfied that at least ono half of the farm horses are fed ao muck hay that it in. jures their health, and keeps them in poerer condition than if less bay was fed them. The farmer should always fry to superintend the feeding of his stock, because he is in a position to clo it better than any one else ; the cattle and other animals growing up on his own farm, no a rule, if under hie care, he will better limey each animal's particular wants then any one he can employ ; but if the farmer must de pend on hired help to feed out his fodder, he should =the au effort to employ some one who tithe an inter. est oe farm stock, and when he sem. ee the -right man he should try to keep him.
