MILK FROM THIN COWS.
When a cow is thiu, and especially if
she be losing desh, her milk cannot be
rich in fat, and what thero is will make
r poor butter, ami come slowly. This is
the trouble that many farmers dnd at the
beginning of winter. Cream that could

cows more heavily, and with something
that will increase fat as well as milk flow.
If the cow be worth keeping as a milker
che will not dry up and become beefy
tinder such treatment. If she does it is
a fair warning that she is worth more to
the butcher than for the dairy.?Aineri,

OEESE RAISING.
Many persons, after having decided to
try their hand at geese raising, purchase
a few mongrels of light weight, at market
prices, instead of sending to a reliable
breeder and getting first-class stock
at a price that would seem exhorbitant to
them. An exchange savs this is a mistake,
and one that must inevitably follow
through the whole course. The live or
i more pounds that the well-bred goose outweighs
the common goose will *howitS?{f
enormous difference in the receipt.
The main thought to be kept in mind
is the worthlessness of the articles of food
in which geese delight and which comprises,
for a great part, things wasted and
at the most of little value. Cabbage,
turnips, potatoes, and all other kinds of
vegetables and grasses form their staple
food, with only sufficient grain to give a

poultry, nnd will keep the grass
as closo as a flock of sheep. 1 ho
value of their manure upon worn-out
pasture must also not be lost sight of, as
it is rich in amount, and, for this reason
geese woujd seem to rival sheep for benefiting
many parts our country. The
fintf)i'ni -\\j f1:' v,,T v>lunh'0'
are plucked by some once in a month or
six weeks. "While I should not advocate
it as often as this, yet they may certainly
be plucked once or twice a year and be
benefited by it, as the process of molting
is facilitated. The only precaution to be
taken is that no blood is drawn with the
feathers. If the quills contain blood it !
may be inferred that the feathers arc not
in a ripe condition and on no account
must they be disturbed. It will be found
in a large flock of geese, as in one of
hens, that all the members do not molt
at one stated time, hut. vary some weeks,
so that they should he plucked at different
periods, when the feathers are in the
ripest condition.?Farm, Field and Stocki

comes along at the right time no other

by the liberal use of water throngh a fine
hose, which watering is followed up as

expended upou the bed is to
keep down the weeds and to thin the
plauts to one in three inches in the row,
and no further attention is necessary,
except to provide water in case of
drouth. There may he a few straggling
leaves in the outside rows, but as
a whole the waste stalks arc less Dinner- I

the stalks arc not quite so white as when
earth-blanched, but they are as crisp
and tender, and finer flavored. There is
just one risk of failure to he guarded

ening weather of early November
j admonished us to guard against
S its total loss by storing it in
I winter quarters. The season having thus
' been shortened at both ends, the celery is
little more than half grown, but it compares
favorably with most of the other
crops of the season. In storing it the
plants arc set with what earth adheres to
the roots, upon a place in the cellar
where the ground is always wet, but
without any surplus water. The ventilation
is good, and the celery is fit for the
table till warm weather. In fact, it makes
a little growth. Celery is not only a
luxury, but a most healthful condiment,
better far than many of the more pungent

their harmful, indirect influences. i*<= |

idea that it cannot bo produced except
under certain highly favoring conditions

88. "Blesse I be the Lord God of Israel."
Thus ends the first., second and fourth books
of Psalms (xli.. 13; Ixxii., 18; cvi., 48) tolling
of God's mercies and deliverances, past and
future, for His people Israel. The name is
first found in Kx. v., 1, when Moses and
Aaron demand of Pharaoh that ho lot God's
people go, and is always associated with
find's special interest in that people. The
prophet Jeremiah associates the two titles,
Lord of Hosts and Oo<l of Israel, at least
thirty times, indicating His power to care
for His people and deliver them.
"He hath visited and wrought redemption
for His people"' (R. V.). It was four hun*'red^
yearsince Malachi had said that the
covenanted with David and Abraham, but
now His time had come to work redemption
for them and to redeem them if they were
willing. That we should meekly, patiently

00. "And hath ro'sed up an horn of salvation
for us in the house of His servant David."
The horn is the symbol of strength or
power. Hannah sings of her horn and the
horn of Hi* anointed; David sings of the
horn of his salvation, which is Jehovah (I
Sam. ii., I. 10; Ps. xviii., 2)j and in Ps.
rxxxii., 17. Jehovah Himself says that in
Zion He will make the horn of David to
bud, indicating the coming of the Messiah
from the house of David.
70. "As He snake by the month of hisholy

Hints for Am A tour Sportsmen.
An excellent treatment for a bullet
(round is to wash the wound elean and
rover with clean ninslin saturated with
? solution of carbolic acid or alcohol.
Ihe great object is to keep the wound
cleau and protected from the air. Do
not foolishly probe for the bullet. It
ran bo bettor.extracted after the healing
of the wound. i
To extract fish hooks from your flesh
or clothing cut tho leader free and
push the hook on through, depressing
the upper end to as to bring the point
n^ar as jioSsible'td whrfre it went
in. Don't try to pull the hook back
Dver the barb.
Thirst can be abated by the eating
of acid fruits or plants. The chewing
of twigs, barks or leaves of trees and
shrubs will also afford temporary relief.
Snow and ice aggravate tho
thirst by chilling and closing tho salivary
glands. .
Learn to shoot without closing your
cyea wnen you pun me trigger. j?eginners
will fiud it hard to do this, but
it must be done.
In sighting either bliotgun or rifle
the left eye should be closed, except in
the case of left-handed persons; then
the right eye should be closed. Some
men keep both eyes open, but the majority
of shooters and all the craok
shots close the left eye.
A'i extra pair of socks are handy on
a one-day out trip. Then, with your
Bhoes nicely dried at my lady host's lire
you will be in comfort for the noxt
the apartment well ventilated. Letflii"
fresh air, but keep out the draught. '
AVhen out shooting carry a small
square of sliamois skin saturated with
pure oil. Then you are prepared to
well grease your gun in case of a rainstorm.?Nature.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
legitimate medicine, not a beverage: carefully
compounded by an experienced physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate
organisation. It is purely vegetable in
composition and perfectly harmless in any
condition of the system. Contains no
alcohol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar
to ferment in tho stomach and derange
digestion.
As an invigorating tonic, it imparts
strength to tho whole system. For overworked,
" worn-out," " run-down," debilitated
teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses,
"shopgirls," housekeepers, nursing
mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr.
Piorco's Favorito Proscription is the greatest
earthly boon; being uneqtialed as an appetizing
cordial and restorative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening nervine,
"Favorito Prescription" is unoqualed ana
