1827-1885.

We stretch our welcoming hands across; |

rhe distance but a pebble’s toss

Between us and our youth appears

ool we linger on, [he remnant of a once tall list ; Conning our lessons, undiminished, With faces to the silting sun,

For in life’s s

|

And some have gone the unknown way, And some await the call to rest; Who knoweth whether itis best

For those who went or us who stay?

And, yet, desrite of loss and i!1, Iu faith and love and hope remain, Our length of days is not in vain,

And life is well worth living still

Still, to a gracious Providence rhe thanks of grateful hearts are due For blessings when our lives are new ; For all the good vouchsafed us since.

The pain that spared us sorer hurt ; The wished denied, the purpose crossed ; And pleasure, fond occasions lost,

These mercies to our small desert.

‘Tis something that we wander back, +, Gray pilgrims, to the ancient ways, And tender memories of old days

Walk with us by the Merrimac ;

Chat even in life’s afternoon

A sense of youth comes back again,

As through this cool, September rain, Che still-green wood!ands dream of spring.

The eyes grown dim to present thirgs Have keener sight for bygone years, And sweet and clear in deatening ears,

The bird that sng at morning sings.

Dear comrades scattered wide and far, Send from their homes their kindly word ; And dearer ones, unseen, unheard,

Smile on us from some heavenly star

For life and death with God are one; Unchsnged by seeming change, His care And love are round us here and there ;

He breaks no thread His hands have spun

Soul touches soul ; the muster-rol! Of life eternal has no gaps ; And after half a century's lapse Our schoolday ranks are closed and wholes,

Hail and farewell! We go our way Where shadows end, we trust in light; ‘Tbe etar that ushers ip the night

Is herald also of the day.

Milk.

—_—

Phe question with most farmers in a civilized community is, not how much | milk can a cow be made to give, but | how much will she give on ordinary | feed. This surprisiogly few farmers know much about. They think, per-

haps, that they know, but their know-| ledge is based upon a slender line of| facts, A cow has a big, fleshy, showy |

udder, and milks fairly. She is set down as a big milker and a profitable | cow ; perhaps, reckoned as the most| profitable cow in the herd. Near her | stands a little cow, with a moderately | sized udder, and giving a fair mess of| milk, which she keeps up in quantity all through the season, and which in| quality and real value makes her yield | equal to the larger product of the big| showy cow. The farmer does not know | fiod it ont, unless he takes pains to learn it by a| system of weighing, and testing the! milk of different COWR, We have never known a herd to be caretully tested in this way, when the estimates of the pro- prietor and his men, who do tiie milk- ing and handl ng of the cows, have not been proved to be incorreet—often great- ly to their surprise.

this fact, and may never

The system to be followed in teach-| ing is about as follows: The milk of

each cow is drawn separately, and as soou asdrawp, the milker takes his pail (which should be of tin), to a good scale, und weighs it, patting down both the gross weight and the net weight, after deducting the weight of the pail. The pail should, by the way, be weigh- ed twice a week, for variations con-

{tess accurate. The best way to manage

stantly occur. Pailsare washed and | lrequeniiy scoured, so after a few days| a élight reduction in weight will be al-| most always bDoticed, A slate may be | used for recording these weighings, and | itis wellto have every cow’s name! Written plainly, and scratched in or'| painted neatly on the slate, and lines | tuled for the morning and eveving milking. The siateis taken every even- ing to the office, and the net weights transferred to a book, care being exer- cised to see that they are correct. If nothing more is done than to keep this record for a year, the information ob- turned will be invaluable; but this is not enough—far from it. The relative richness of the milk of ditlerent cows should be known. This may be ascer- tained in various ways. The whole of one day’s milk of one cow may be set, ripened, and churned whole every day —taking a different cow each day, and being sure to test each cow four or five days before or after she comes in beat. This is perhaps the best pian, but it takes a good deal of milk and considerable time, both of which cannot always be conveniently spared. Besides, a single test for each cow bas little value, compared with several, for there will almost always be found veriations in the amount of butter yielded by the same eow, even when the amount ot milk is the same. A smaller quantity of milk carefully weighed, will give very accurate re sults, Thus, eight pounds of milk weighed when . fresh, put into a two- gallon bottle and left unstopped until sour,and then churned by shaking will give very good results, Half the quantity of milk ina one-zalion bottle, will do very well, but the results are’

a

this bottle churning is,to fasten a strap around the bottle, by which,and a stout cord, it muy be suspended ata conven- height from the ceiling. The] well stoppered eeck is tuken in one) hand, and the churn swung actively back and forth. Atter a minute or two, the stopper must be carefully removed to allow liberated gases to escape, as 18 usual in barrel churns,

fFVHE above Stove | invented and patenied in 1876, and at the present time HUN-

DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A large number have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have heen required. This valuable experience should be sufficient evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following ;—It has, instead otf a Linea Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with all Square Cooking Stoves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat being radia‘ed from the Ovlin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a _ serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking S‘oves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made-in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal satistaction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel I have also attached the PATENT TELYSCOPI™ OVEN to ajl my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c, causing the thousands using them to exclaim— Vy Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the same kind made by other foundries, The trade aad retail purchasers will please bear in mind the fact that although ® great advantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other f.undry can supply. En quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, and it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry,

I am adding several new and handsowe Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Different Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Office and Hail Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tiuware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by any manufacturer in the Lower Provinces,
