"Then you did ask her 1.0 ma'ry you?" But Byng has apparently fled back on the wings of fantasy into the ,Cl. woods of Vallomblosa, for he makes no 00rleal all0we0. "She said yes?" asks Burgoyne, raM3- ing his voice, as if rte, were addressing some one deaf. "Am I to, understand that she said yes?" At the sound of that hard nnked query the dreamer comes out of his enchanted forest again.

A few years more of such progress, they say, and tint inia'ilim,0 supremacy of telltale will begin to be called in ques- tion, Undoubledly the figures which are be- ing published, it not alarming, afford al any rate, food for serious reflection. Take, for example, the Suez Canal. :n 1881 British shipping through the canal was over 4,000,000 tons; in 1000 It had risen to 8,500,000, or a. trine over 100 per cent. increase.

A sore teat (111e sore may be inside), will cause a cow to kick, but if handled gently she will be quiet and kind when curers. The best cure for a kicking eine is to find why she kicks, then find tate remedy. A cow will kick from a hart or a sud- den fright. The best cows, as a rule, hove the most. sensitive udders, and harsh treatment is rho very last thing to practice.

Upon every farm where animals ere kept for profit there should be a place provided for sick animals. Saving one unmet would more than pay Ilte cost of such a building. Do not let the cows get hungry and uneasy. Give them their ensilage and grain and plenty of hay. It is not a good cow that will not re- spond to good care, generous feeding and comfortable surroundings. BiRISTLES. The sows should be well fed up to the time of farrowing on nitrogenous foods, as wheat bran, middlings end oats. At about Ilse time of farrowlug not so much food should be given, and care should be taken that each 5001' lois warm q, ,dens and a good bed of short straw or chaff. c> The food should be increased very gradually to meet the needs of the suck - lung pigs. If 1110 sow eats her pigs give her some omen(, and 5110 won't touch her pigs. Reduce the grain. Feed her 0003, lightly for several days. A &rink of worm water, or a thin slop on the 110y of farrowing, will be relished by the sow. rSmall oe weak pigs ran be nourished on the Witte, containing warm cow's nulls with a little sugar added. Pigs showing signs of plumps should. be stirred out of the nest. Roots and vegetables, t0g eliar w ith scraps from the house,should be given to the hogs, Clover stay and ensilage will be found to be valuable as food given with the grain to furnish bulk, and will tend to a thrifty. condition. Spring pigs must be kept growing. Dont let them get off their feed, or growth will be relor..ed. The experiment stations are proving that pigs five to six, months old can be made to weigh a pound for every day of thelr lite. Pigs intended for fattening should be forced for growth early, and later given foods rich in carbonaceous elements, that will produce fat and fit them for early ineriet. When thoroughbred hogs are kept for braiding purposes they should be given every chance for growth rather than the production of fat. This can be realized by getting them in the yard and pastures as early as possible, unci by giving tine sows and pigs succulent food and food of a nitro- genous nature. POULTRY NOTES.
