One reason why the homely girl %akee the scholarship prize is beoauee she looks into books more than into mirrors. Ism canting, my darling, through the tall, wat•lug corn, says e new love song. Been atealiog her old mn's pumultins, moat likely. Then you dont like hash ? said the landlady sternly. I don't object to hash, explained the baa*der. Its rehash I kick at Don't tell a woman that thee, a second -Laud rib worked over and turn to Geneeie for your authority, It's ungallant, and besides it's dam serous. No num can court a :toss eyed girl wbithout being jealous. And the cause is that elle always stems to be looking at and alntlling upon some other fellow. It is curious how affection and confection seem to harmonize, It is taffy for the mother and rook candy for the baby stic!t for the boy and sugar plum for the girl. Airs. Christopher Columbus bought a dozen eggs at a store the other clay It in not recorded that she ever discovered anything ex- cepting that six of the eggs were bad. No, , said the old maid, I dont mist, a husband very much. I have trained my dog to growl every time I feed him, and I have bought a tailor's dummy that I can scold every time I feel Like it. A bright little girl, who had cue. cessfully spelled the word "that," was asked by her teacher what would remain after the "t" had been taken away. The cups and saucers, was the promp reply. Mother—Who hag been drinking the milk''. Tell the truth; ,now Eugene St. Claire -1t Was me. I wanted to see if it was sour. Mother —Well what if it was ? E. St. 0. —Why. I would'nt have drank it, then. The trouble with young woreeu in love is that sbe doesn't know whetber she really love the young man for 'himself alone or for the caramols he brings and the pros- pects of a solitaire diamond to daz- zle azzle the other girls. You you have a lively set of clerks, ho said to the proprietor of the es- tablishment. It must be pleasant and profitable to have employees so full of energy and vim. Yee, res- ponded the proprietor, we close early to -day, and they are getting ready to go home. A. friend in the South asked a girl her name. Matilda, was her answer. But that ine't your only name, said the lady. Thus encouraged, the girl glibly recited. Matilda, diner va, Melviva, Virginia, Victoria, Jane, here memory, fails me, for my friend reported the entire num- ber of names as eight. At the end of her recitation, she said proudly my graudmother named me. But haven't you any more names than that ? asked her misohevious inter. rogator. Conscious of having made a fair showing, the girl ryas puzzled to answer so unusual a question. At last she said slowly, my grand- mother died. A NOW Jersey man has organised a Temperance order of Binges Solis, and calls upou all men, commercial traveltere in particular, to show their colors and declare for King Manhood and against King Aloe hol, It is formed on the "ten tunes one is teu" principle, and each member pledges himself "to drink no intoxicating liquors, slid to try and get ten others to join the army." At., there was ft traitor among the Apostles who sold his Lord for money, it is not perhaps to be wondered at that among the work - ere for prohibition Judases should be found willing to betray their oauee for dollars. If it is duty to proceed against the drink sellers for breaking the law, surely it 18 still more duty to proceed against a pretended temperance advocate who compounds with them for so much money and betrays the geod name of his e8use. The Temperance workers of Hal ton are orgauizing in antioipatiou of an attempt to secure the repeal of tiro Scott Ant. The Aot has op. erated so well in Halton that it is the last place in which repeal should be proposed.—Mail. Sam Jones says : "Now, I be- lieve, if I was going to sell liquor, I would come to Toronto. Yon have quite a nine city here. I don't know bow many of you belong to the ohurcb. I don't know whether your mayor belongs to the church. I don't know his name, nor who he is, but I tell yon if ever 1 sold whis- key I would want to go to a town where the mayor was a Presbyterian elder, and the councilmen were Methodist stewards, and aldermen were Baptist deacons. I would have my license signed up and take it home and say to my wife : "Pre- serve that ; put it in my trunk, and lock it up well, and when I die, I want them to put that iu my ooffin pith me," and when the trumpet should wake me from the dead, the first thing I would think about would be my license ; and when God eummooed me before the great white throne and showed me the devastation I Lad made among the children of man, I would pull out my license and say : "Lord I didn't know it was any harm ; here's my license ! signed by Presbyterian eldses, Methodist stewarde, and 13apiist deacons!"

Now what animal possesses the greatest affec- tion for man ? Little girl—Woman. Does the dress make the lady ? asks one excbange. From descrip- tions of some society receptions it appears that absence' of dress makes the fashionable lady, says another, Mr. Snaggs, what is a stag party? asked Mrs. Snagge of her husband. Paradoxical as is may seem, re- plied Snaggy, a stag party is•one to which the dears aro not admitted.

More farmers foil from attempt- ing too couch in stook without sof. ficient experience than fromany other one cause. They maintain altogether too many animals of poor to medium quality. It is better to have only one good cow than to' have two .or three medium ones. , The ono animal will leave the farmer a change to devote hie time and land to some more profitable purpose, while the man overstocked with poor animals nods that they absorb and eat everything ho grows. It may seem to some strange to advise giving some shelter to cows at night thus early in the season. In clear Weather even in July and August cows in fields will get tinder trope to he down, so that there may be less radiation of their oWn warm- th into epee°. If any one tries sleeping out of doors in summer, 85 :campers sometimes do, he will bo apt to feel a chilly sensation towards Morning. Of course when cold storms prevail, as they are liable to from now onward, the necessity for shelter is greatly increased. Uhiforbeity in cream is one secret of gutting a large amount of butter from it, '.Phis is one .of tho great advantages of the creamery system which, in changeable weather, it is difficult to get without it. If ewoot and emir cream aro :nixed together wives have churned the buttermilk and got enough more butter to pay for the extra labor, 130 a creamery would cost little, and in many places pay for itself in Dae 808800 by the Iincreased butter precinct. :?deny femora find tine year that they have tomo of bulb light and heavy oats ripening on different parte of the head according to the 1 weather at the different times of Maturing. The heavier oats are much the mote profitable for feed. ing ; but sometime,: hotel -keepers and horse -boarding stable keepers pnrpoeely buy the light weight. They purohase by weight and deal out oats to patrons' horses 'by mea sure, It is. therefore, their gain when they buy oats weighing less than thirty-two pounds per bushel, and their lose when extra heavy oats are fed. Bat the horse feeder up to this trick is not the man tolose in any event. If the oats are extra heavy ho will take his profit in stinting the measure. The under- fed horse only tells tales when hie condition dhows Low he Las beau imposed npou. In the ease of calves that have been weaned and turned out to pasture, they should not bo compel- led to depend on grass alone until late in the season, but should be given a ration of more condensed and nourishing food. This will put the calf in better condition to stand the eeverity of winter storms and cold weather. Much of the profit in rising calves depends oh the, treatment they receive during their first fall and winter, Stunted thou,' either by lack: of food or shelter, they will not readily reoover from it. Many farmers appear to think that the calves can safely be allowed to remain in the fields during the cool fall nights, frequently exposed 16 cold storms The sun coming out warm during the day, in them months, they do not realize how great a differenoe there is in the temperature when it comes night. and the calves suffer accordingly. Shelter should bo provided, to. which the calves can go when they - desire it, and this, with, regular feeding, will keep them in 0 thriving condition, which may be maintain• ed all through the winter if proper attention is given to them. In a long series of experiments concerning the feeding value of oat straw, Prof. Sanborn, of Missouri, says that this straw is mainly vaht- able us a heat and fat producer. It does not produce much fat, because cattle will not eat euough of it. It contains but 1.4 par cent. of digest- ible albumenoids, or flesh formers, and forty per cent. of digestible car- bohydrates, or fat formers. Hance, to use it with advantage and get the full benefit of it, it must be fed with a food of directly the opposite kind, such as oil meal or cotton -seed meal. The professor found that thirty-four pounds of oat straw and six pounds of cotton -seed meal gave the same results as fifty pounds of hay, be. cause oottou•eeed ;meal has 88.2 per Dent, of albumenoids .and but 17.6 per cent. of carbohydrates, thus forming, with the straw, a well bal- anced. ration. ' Oil meal contains 27.6 por cent. of albumenoids and 27 per cent. of carbohydrates, so that a pound more of oil meal than of cotton -seed meal should be fed'. The cost of this feed am compared with hay at $5 a ton, or one-fourth of a cent per pound, is an 'important question. It is said to take twenty- five pounds of it -to matte a steer gain a pound tt day, or 6 cents daily to keep him en good growing condition. 'But ff by ,feeding four pounde of oil meal,; worth 1i. genre per pound, the sante gain can be made, and by feeding a proportion- ately less amount we can keep up the weight, it will help out a short crop of hay. 13u1 to the farmer who has not and can notgot oil meal the following facts will he of value :— Clover Lay contains about nine per Cent. of albumenoitle, timothy con• tains 5.8, and oat straw 1.4 per cent, ; therefore, it will be seen that a ton of clover hay fed, with it ton of oat straw will be equal in value to two tone of timothy, because clover hay contains an excess of album°, noide, and it is waste to feed it by itself, as it ie waste to feed oat straw alone. A steer feted on the straw long enough would starve, but when fed with clover it is a Well-balanced ration, and makes a poor hay crop go much further, It is clearly ee tablished that the food value of oat straw can be obtained only by feed- ing with something that llae an ex. cols of albumenoids and a deficiency of carbohydrates, Tho farmer's food of this Class is clover hay, Genes -41 .N O VP fi.
