ONLY WAITING.
Only waiting! ever watching.
With glad eyes and eager face,
For bright childhood's tints to deepen
Into youth's maturer g-ace. 1
Only waiting! ever dreaming j
Of that sweetest destiny.
Which, to girlhood's happy fancy,
Must not, could not fail to be.
I
Only waiting! school days over,
And the earnest word instead,?
"Now the child is grown a woman,
And has all her lessons said."
.
Only waiting ! that which promised
To yield much both good and fair,
Man deceiv'd, and hopes have sadly
Turned to castles in the air.
Only waiting! simply trusting
In that strong though unseen Friend,
Who will guide the lonely pilgrim
Safely to life's journey's end.

A Ylsit to Judge Fiillerton's
Farm.
While on a visit to Ohio last
/vinter I promised through a letter
x> the club some notes on the subject
of stock and its management.
After having prepared the article I
was either too modest or too proud
to produce it at the next club when
it was not asked for; but, having
since somewhat overcome those
feelings, I now' offer you a brief and
hurried account of a visit to Judge
Fullerton's farm in Fairfax Co., Va.
While on a visit to a friend at that
place he kindly showed me this
farm, among other objects of interest.
It lies about six miles west of
the court-house; you upproach it
through a very poor country, mainly
of pines. After crossing a small
creek and ascending a hill it all
burst out before you, a beautiful
oasis in the desert, and the contrast
is most striking. I was informed
by a gentleman who seemed
familiar with Virginia lands that it
was probably some of the poorest
land in the State, certainly in Fairfax
Co. When Judge F. made the
purchase of 4UU acres, ne was ;om
1 by land agents that he was getting
I the poorest land in the State
"That, gentlemen," he replied, "is
just what I want; and I want tr
prove that there ia no tillable tone
in Virginia that cannot be mad<
productive." I was disappointed
not to see his manager, who coulc
have told me the system they pur
sued. I observed that much of tin
corn land was sown in clover at tin
last working of corn, the clove:
looking very fine and vigorous
I The corn-slalks indicated an unu
sual growth?20 barrels claimet
?and the old sod I never saw ex
ceiled ; but the improvement is no
so hard to understand, when yoi
know he has a bone-mill on hi
farm, supplying all of that articlneeded,
with immense quantities o
salt, shipped from New York. Adde<
to these is the manure from 9<
cattle, a large number of hogs am
horses necessary to conduct th
farm. No small grain is sown ; cori
and grass exclusively, save patche
of winter oats, rye and fodder
This largo number of stock is soiic<
almost entirely: no cross fencing
too outside fence being mainly o
boards. There are two large barns
each about 100 foot long, one fo
hay and the other for cattle, wit]
commodious apartments in th<
second story ot the cattlc-barn fo
feed of different kinds. At thi
lower extremity of the barn-vari
was a fine spring, supplying wate
for the stock, and a dairy nor.r bv
1 tit v? _.k_ *.,1,1
; M e saw a ume uuy nuu ivm u
that bis father was in the field ;
long way off, and would not be ii
until night ] we inquire 1 if be ha<
an older brother who could tell u
; about tin* cattle ; be said bis brothc,
was in tbe barn. In passing thmug)
| the yard wo saw about 50 pun
Holstein cows ; they bad just beei
| fed with a chop of cut*-fodder am
meal, milked and turned out to wa
ter. We found the stable dividei
in this wise : two long rows of stall
on one side, with stanchions. Tin
cattle faced each other, with at
aisle between just wide enough t<
allow the cattle to eat clean across
At one end is a funnel, dowp whicl
! the bay is thrown, and evenlt
j scattered along the aisle. Getting
impatient to make tbe desirer
inquiries I looked up the funny!
where tbe bay was then being tbrowt
down, to speak to the young man
but he adroitly kept out of mj
sight, only being able to seo tin
fork. My attention being attracted
by the cattle eoniing in, a <1amse
of sixteen glide'! down with fork ir
hand, which fully explained tht
shyness of the supposed boy in tin
funnel. The girl moved about with
wonderful alacrity, scattering tit
hay fore and aft; 1 remarked to mv
friend that I believed she would
bay more cattle than two colored
men left to their usual gait. After
finishing her work, she, with hoi
brother, a lad of fifteen years, gave
us valuable information in regard
to this fine herd. They are rnostlj
pure Holsteiu, with a few gardeshalf
perhaps imported, very large;
and one lie was ottered a thousand
dollars for when she landed at New
York. Wc were shown one thai
gave 10 gallons of milk per day. 1
inquired whether a heifer calf could
be obtained; they said the Judge
declared that until he had increased
bis herd to 150 he would not part
with a female to the best friend in
the world. The bulls he sold for
S100. One word as to the appear*
ance of these cattle, and I will not
tax your time farther: Tliey arc
tall and lengthy, I should judg^ re*
quiring liberal feeding, pure bluck
and white, sotneiimcs the one color
predominating and then the other,
and often the colors equally divided,
none other being genuine.?Amcri'

Milk Cows.
Cows give the most and richest
milk, with less quantity of food,
when from throe to fivo j*ears old.
After the age of seven to eight the
eduction in quantity and quality
>f product, taken in connection
with the incroascd amount of food
leccssary, is such that a large
proportion of the old cows do not
rield enough to pay their keeping,
t is a question of vital importance
o or cry dsirym?> to kntfw vrirtth
IMMBnmMBMBnHMMHHMMBMHMaf
of his herd pays a profit and which
entails a loss. Every farmer should
in some simple way test the milk,
cream and butter frou; each of his
cows, beside- weighing the food
consumed by each animal for one
week, and profit by ihe result.
The information will be worth all it
costs, and it will often be found
that one or two good cows are
producing the profits and contributing
to the support of other inferior
animals.
Land Deficient in Lime.
. AVhcre land is deficient in iimc,
then lime should he applied to if; it
is better to apply it frequently, say
once in every four or five years,
and in moderate doses, say forty
to fifty bushels to the acre; it should
be applied to the surface and not
ploughed under immediately, as it
has a natural tendency to sink
rapidly in the soil, and as it acts
more efficiently when mixed with
the soil near the surface, where the
; air enn reach it. Stiff clay soils
require larger doses than light or
( sandy soils; and it will do little or no
' good upon low, wet, undrained
> lands.?Farm Journal.
5 Feed your laud before it gets
| poor. Give it all the manure you
can make and haul, and it will
enrich you. Starve it by taking
off crops continually and returning
nothing, and it will bankrupt \ou.
Feed the land liberally and it will
feed and clothe vou.
