Is Hay Cheap Food Most dairymen suppose, says the Nation- al Live-Stook Journal, thatliay is the cheap- eat food for their cows, and think it a mU- fortone to be short of hay â€" which is, in a sense, true, for every one should try to pro- duce all the hay required for his stockâ€" but it b seldom true that the market price of grain is higher than hay. If we consider the relative nutrotiva value of hay and grain, or Sroduct of grain, we find that go^ mea- ow hay or clover is no cheaper at $13 to |14 per ton than good wheat bran or middlings at $20 or $21 per ton, or commeal at $22 or $23 per ton, or linseed cake or mini at $32 to $38 per ton. This does not mean that commeal, middlings, or oilmel would be just as appropriate for the complete food of a cow as hay. We know that such conoen- tratedfood would le quite dangerous to feed a cow without some coarse fodder, but it means that tite nutriment in these foods wDl be as cheap to make up any defiolwy in tiie ration at those prices as hay at the price meiitioned. Therefore, when hay is dear in the dairy districts, instead of buy- ing liay the dtdryman should buy grain in some form to help him out. The grain will be cheapest, and his cows oome.urongh in much better condition for the milking sea- son than if they liad all the good hay they could eat. All a cow requires over twelve or fifteen pounds ot hay should be made up fai gndn food. Twelve pounds of hay and eight pounds of middlings per day will win- ter a l,0(X)-pound cow much better than ~Chirty pounds of hay per day. But the ground feed should be m zed irith out hay, moistened, so the ground feed will adhere to it, and must be eaten with the liay and raised and remasticated. Fine feed, fed alone, is not raised and remasticated, but goes on to the fourth stomach without fur- uer mastication. Why Some Farmers Fail- They will not make compost. They breed to and from scrubs. They do not curry their horses. They have no shelter for stock. They put off greasing the wagon. Tbey are wedded to old methods. They give no attention to details. They have no method or system. They see no good in a new thing. They let theb fowls roost in trees. They weigh and measure stingily. They leave their plows in the field. They hang their harness in the dost. They take no pleasure in their work. They never use paint on the farm. They prop the bam door with a rail. They milk the cows late in the day. They starve the calf and milk the cow. They think small things not important. They let their gates sag and fall down. They do not keep up with improvements. They don't know the best is the oheapoat. They do not read the beat b3oks and newspapers. They think the buyer of a tuccessfnl neighMr's stock at good prices Is a fool, and the seller very " lucky. They sell hay, grain and straw off the farm instead iat turning them into meat, cheese and buttor, and increasing their sup- ply of manure. To which solid truths we beg to add â€" They don't conduct their farm on business prindples. They think that pinching and scrimping is economy. They don't know that a cheap implement ia uauaUy a very dear one. They noAke their homea ao cheerless and nnattractive that no one about it san work witii vim or energy. And lastly they do not teke their local paper. The British in EsTpt One sign of the permanency of the British occupation of E!gypt is, tliat classes for the â- tndy of the Arabic language by non-com- missioned offioers and privaterhave been op- ened in Alexandria and Cairo, uader the au- thority of^e British War Office and at the expenae of the British Military Department in Egypt. This is as it should be, for petty offioers and men must often suffer mndi in- convenience when their duty brings them :n- centact with the natives, who are ignorant of any tongne but their own. British soldiers are not famous for picking up languager, and this free instraotion in we Egyptian vemaonlar will be of great benefit to them. Perhaps if a few lessons in Frendiwere add- ed it would be a great gain to the foreisn soldiers, for thia la the language of the Bn- ropean portion of the inhabitante, and wfth- ont at least colloquial knowledge of it the xealdent feels hbnself completely at saa. •R' gTi'h is being more spoken tiian it nsed to be, and is gai^ig greimd evwy day, Irat it will never sapplant French as the laag naye of society, dij^omaoy and tiie law oonrts.

The only Christmas present we expeet to get is in ^e future tense. Chriaimas teaches the newly-married man how many new relatives he has. Yonr presence at home on Christmaa Day is preferable to no presente a* alL Yon cannot find a boy wlia has not " told dad what he wanted for Christmas." No, my dear diiltben you do not alwaya find atookinga on the limbs of Christmaa treea. Fashion note This is the season of the year when every one Is looking for some- thing new in stockings. One of the chief uses of the Christooas card is to take the place of something which would oost a good deal more. A boy who " could not speak a word" was considered a family treasure until it was discovered that he conld whistle. Christmas poetsliaveui easy time of it. Joys, toys, holly, jelly, chimes, times, mer- ry, berryâ€" the rhymes flow like wine from bottie. There is not so much difference' between them after all. A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard, anda white Christmas causes a good deal of sleighing. It looks well to trim the honae with hol- ly on Christmaa, but when a husband has both he^ through his stockings his thoughta persist in callbig up darning-needles. The tariff question is a hard one to solve, yet it dnks into the most insignificant in- rignfioanoe when placed alongside the ques- tion, can the snuJl boy get too much water- melon I The small boy is censured for folgbtening horses into costly and sometimes fatal run- aways. But it shoald be remembered that whOe he is soaring horses he is not working ids gum shooter. A pair of Christmas slippers should never be teemed. If tiiey are too small they will come in for ear mnffi and if too large may be sent to the girls' orphan home in Mon- treaL A little boy, when told by his father tliat a oertaJn deceased plumber had gone to Heaven, said he knew why, and when ask- ed, replied " 'Cause there ain't no wator- pip^s to freeze in the other place;" A small boy who read that " Bunsler is the best iy-cliatoher in the country, and commands a big salary," immedateiy went into a trailing for a similar position, he caught 200 fl'es in half an hour, and then caice to grlnf by bis mother grabbing him by the ear for luaahing the insecte on the window pane. Fiaotical- Most people who have ever sketehed nat- ural objecte have also met with pitying re- monstrtmoe from the severely practical, be- cause they chose to represent the piotor- esque rather than the symmetrical. " What makes you draw a piotur' o' that tumble- down old shed " sa;s the farmer. " Come an' draw my new two story house an' wel- come " In regard to Shakespeare's house at Stratfor^-en-Avon, an amusing story is told which illustrates the same standard of judg- ment. An enthnaiaattc and eradito party of visi- tors had invaded a local public house, in search of " material for reverence." To them was pointed out the oldest inhabitant, aa " the man wliat knows more abont Shake- speare's honae tlian any aoul in Stratford." Interrogated and doiy propitiated, the ven- erable aage thna gave utterance, â€" " Think I do Imow mora abont that house than any o' yon writing gente I Why, sir, it was me was the mah the committee pitched on to repair it, years ago an' yon shoald ha' seen iriiat a toomUed-dune old bam it was aiore I tooched it I" The erudite ones made a rapid exit. Why She Pointed. A school-teacher from 'â-  out West " tells the following laughable little incident "Gta Christmas D^y I was invited to dinner at the home of a farmer in the neighborhood. He had a large family of children, and I was not the only guest, several families in the neighborhood having been invited. " Just before we went out to dinner, a ten-year old daughter of t;he family, a favor- ite pupil ot mine, came into the room, and began silently counting the guesto, pobiting her finger at each person as she counted. " Aa she stood near me, I thought to give her a little lesson in etiquette, and whisper- " Don't point, Milly it a not polite.' " To my amusement and the chagrin of her mother, she instantly replied, â€" " ' Well, I guess ma told me, 'cause she's afraid there idn't minca pie enough to go round, and she hopes nobody won't take two pieces.' " Afiraid of Woman. Anew word, ooined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, has made ite appearance, and though it is not pretty to look at, it suggests pleasing possibilities. "Onephobia" is the word, and it means a oonstitatienal hor- ror of woaian. At first sight this might ap- pear to apply only to such inveterate old bachelora as Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill but this horror of the sex Is apparentiy con- fined to such females as are suspected of havmg matrimonial deaicma npon them- selves. If there are, as Dr. Holmes declares, men who snffsr tortoraln the mwe preset of woman, why wonld it not be weU to naa thten for the purpoie of Inoonlatiae thoae of our youwf men who develop too neat a fondn««lor the fair sex?

"Merry Christmas l"V\re say it beartily in the morning among the dear ones we love, and echQ it in the evening to any chance friend or neighbor. It is often careless, even loaiiioeTe, yet wa shoald miss It if the ooatom were suddenly dropped from our lives, for I doubt not it carries balm to many a weary heart.

And trust in HesTen humbly tor the rest " I wondered how long I had been sitting in a a deep study this New Year's aftaraooo when all was quiet in my little home, and I had too much time to think over the changes that had oome into my life. One year ago I was Philip Nelson's promised wife, and there was father and brother Alf to make life bright and happy for me â€" ^now father \ras gone. Alf had lately joined the Nortn-West expedition and left me alone on the littie farm with only the old aerving man and his daughter Hannah, grim of vis- age but soft of heart, to me, her old master's only daughter. Friends I had few â€" but then I had my paint and brush, and had 1 not toM Philip many times tiiat I loved "art" best, and now I wa^ to make this my mistress tlirongh life, for I conld never care for any one elM now that Philip was gone So all the spare time from my teachmg I worked with easel and bmsh. How beautiful is the winter in this Cana- da of ours, and wlien the sunset sparkled on the bay, with a radiance no electric light can Imitato,it was a miracle of the New Year. Happy little boys and (^irla coastid past qai- etly, tiieir toques of blue and red nodding like Sags of many colors, and here and there a bright colored blanket oostome enlivening the soene.

I shaU ponder it in my heart, tlU that heart ceases to beat." Then the trustees had aometblng to say about my ftdthfubiess, and I thought how often I had bean discontented, and had com- forted myself thinking it would not be for long that I should spend my life teaching A, B, C, and guiding duU heads through practise. Had I been faitSifal in small things? 1 sat and listened, and made many New year's promises, while naught r, curly-headed Dick Dancy came and sat beside me and put his mischievous hand in mine, and kept it quite still for two seconds; and then my fa- vorite scholar, Raohd Avery, sang my faror- Ita hymn. " Say, li thy lamp burning, my bratber I'piay thee look qoIiUr and see, For if It wen barnUuc. then ranly Some beams would tall bri(^t npon me." Oh, Neir Yetr resolves, traced upon the fair pages of life's book, often In tears, and blotted out agafas too often in sin or oarelass forgetfulness. I thought of all I might have done, as that rich contralto vdoe thriUisd through my very soul, and made rasolva that! wonld make amends for my listleas apathy. Only one thing disturbed my peace of mind. Captain Swayne was there watoh- ing my every movement and lili glances mMemashnddor. For Ae liad brooght me news of Philip's marriage, when the dread- ful siioioe came between na, and my lover did not return from his trip aotoss the sea. And when the good-nighta ware said, Ibai[- ged of those who had invited me there, to retam with me, but they wera over-awed by his imperious manner, and left me to my fate, and ha widked beside me, though there were others near me. On the bay we hear merry skaters, full pf fun and merriment. Tha moonlight shone oat clear, and all around the •niter edge were twinkUng lamps whose light, lialf hid, half revealed tha hap- py couples that moved about In gay winter costume. There wera sleighs, too, here and there, with jingling balls that seamed to keep time to the hearts of the happy ooou- pants. I had scarcely answered any of his pleasant remarks till we reached the gate whan, almost abraptiy, I wished him good- night. There was an extra lamp burning, and I w^idered at Hannah's extravagance but then it was New Year's night and she wished to make my home-ooming cheerful, no doubt. Captain S vayne followed me to the tiireshold, but I wonld not ask him In. "MIsi Ldiojrâ€" Mary," he said, "yon must hear me to-night. Yon know I love yon and have wanted yon to be my wife."
