Afternoon in Februajy The day is ending, The night is defending; The marsh is frozen, The river dead. Through clouds like ashes The red sun flashes On village windows That glimmer red. The snow recommcnccs, The buried fences Murk uo longer The road o'er the plain: "While through the meauows, Like fearful shadows, Slowly passes A funeral train. The bell Is pealing, And every fooling "Within me responds To the dismal lyiell; Shadows are trailing My heart is bewailing And tolling within. Like a funeral bell. Farm, Garden, and Household. Bone Felon.?As Boon as the disease is felt, put directly over the spot a fly blister, about the size of your thumb nail, and lot it remain for six hours, at the expiration of which time, directly under the sur face of the blister may be seen the felon, which can iustantly be taken out with the point of a needle or a jancet. Soiling vs. Pasturing.?It is shown by the results of long-con tinued experiments that by soiling, three times the amount of stock can be fed from a piece or iatia man eau be fed by pasturing. Thus on a farm of eighty acres eighty head of stock may be fed if the soiling system is followed. Rotation of Crops in Xature.? It is generally considered that the principle of rotation in crops is a modern discovery, and yot nature has worked in this way from the commencement. Proofs of this are seen in the vegetable, remains of rocks and coral beds, and even now ? ?nuinnirvlo of u Arl WB 5CU IUC QitUtV MW IT VIA whenever we cut down a pine woods, which if allowed to grow in timbew again is replaced with de- i ciduous trees, as oaks, beeches, ma- ; pies, etc., while a beech or maple or oak wood cut off will be replaced I with pines. Here is undoubtedly I rotation oi crops, and we merely { follow nature when we adopt the < principle in our agricultural opera- J tions. ] Cost of Keeping Co^s in Milk- f Dairies.?An "Orange County" t milk-producer on Long Island thus 1 feeds his cows; namely, ten pounds ! , of hay, four quarts of corn or oil- J meal, and one bushel of brewers' grains, daily, The cost of this is, 1 for hay 15 cents, meal 15 ceuts, total 48- cents. The average yield * is ten quarts daily, which retails at j ten cents per quart. Calculating < for interest on cost of stock and other expenses, and a proper remu- j neratiou for the uucomfortable and i U ^seasonable labor necessary, it an 'Orange County" dairyman is lion- , est, he is far from being a "bloated aristocrat/' or one who does not 1 well earn his money Poor Feed.?Jeremiah O'Brien, Oneida Couutj*, N. Y., wanted to know of the Farmer's Club, what lie should do for his cows; he fed ; them hay, but they were rough, ecrawny and poor, and very weak, i Would copperas help them, or is ; the soil deficient in lime, potash, or iron? He wanted light thrown on the matter. F. D. Curti6?Poor r * 1 , feed is what's the matter, ne should give thera some oil-meal with their hay, or steam their feed. ! Pr, Craqe added that good hay with meal offeome sort was all that was needed; it was poor feed that caused all the hollow-horn we hear of and most other complaints. It did not pay to cook feed where corn was twenty-live cents a bushel, any how. "Way to make a Poor Pastor.? 1. Be careless and irregular in at tending church. Never go except when you can manufacture no good excuse to stay at home, ' It 2. When at ciiurcn ue euuer asleep or staring about, Do not listen to the sermon. 3. When you go home, complain of the sermon as light and chafly or dry and uninteresting. 4. Treat your pastor with a cold and uninviting civility, and then complain of him because ho does not visit you. 4. Neglect to pray for a blessing upon him and hit labors, and then complain of him because the church does not. prosper. 6. Be always finding fault with your pastor, and yet regret that he is not more popular with the peo ple. 7. Be very lukewarm and world ly-minded, and yet complaiu of him for want of zeal. 8. Neglect to provide for his necessary wants and then com plain of him because he wants his salary. Do all these things, and you will never fail to have poor pastor, The Next Archbishop op Balti more.?The Now York Freeman's Journal, an unusually good authority on the subject, says it may bo taken for granted that after the funeral of the late Archbishop Spolding, of Baltimore, the Bishops of the Ecclesi astical Province of Baltimore, who were then present, discussed the mat ter of the succession, and most prob ably agreed on the list of three names, whom they would propose and reo ommend to the Holy See, as the most fitting candidate for the vacant office. It further 6tatos that the Catholic clergy and laity most likely to know ' ft* * ii the truth, in a mairer not omciauy mado known, coincide in believing that the Eight Rev. James .Roosevelt Bayloy, for eighteen years past Bishop of Newark, if. J., will bo the next Archbishop of Baltimore. Our readers may therefore safely set down all other reports aa mere 'times without any substantial foun dation, J A Change at the Female College] Miss Nixon has been identifii with the Due West Female Collej for the past eight years as a teach( and to say that she has given tl highest satisfaction is only expres intj the truth feebly.
