Life In the Country.

In the country every morning of the year brings with it a new aspect of springing or fading nature, a new duty to be fulfilled upon earth and a new promise or» warning tn heaven. No day is witbout its innocent hope, Its special prudence, its kindly gift and its sublime danger, and in every process of wise husbandry and every effort of contending or remedial courage the wholesome passions, pride and. bodily power of the laborer are excited and exerted In happiest unison. The companionship of domestic and the care of rervlcenble animals soften and enlarge bls life with lowly chartties and discipline him In familiar wisdom and unioastful fortitudes, while the divine law# of seedtime, which cannot be recalled; harvest, which cannot be hastened. and winter, in which no man can work, compel the Impatience and coveting of bls heart into labor too submissive to be anxious and rest too sweet to be wanton.--John Ruskin. f Ml* Ml,- ‘ Cows’ mint For Foals. Cows’ milk is often used with advantage in feeding foals, says Orange Judd Farmer. Foals suffering from distemper cannot always take .solid food satisfactorily and may be nurtured on cows’ milk. Tlje foal may be taught to drink by pouring it upon the grain feed. The young tiling eats the moMtened feed, and by Upping the pan ft soon learns to drink the separated milk.
