The prefits en raisiog eteck are toe small te allow of keeping and feeding yauDg animals that have for any length of time stopped growing. A matnre animal may get thin lb cold weather or on short feed and thin fatten ap again when the oonditiens are made favorable te a gain, but a month or a week of lost ttms in the life of m growing animid can never be re- gained. If the growing period is past with- out making the gro?7tn that is natural to the indlviauol that individual, whetber it be a calf, a colt, a pig, ohioken, or a child muit remain under aizs through life, Bs- oe nly while traveliog we met a boy from No v Scotia, lald t« ce 16 ysara eld, that was bat twenty -fear inches high, and v^ eigh- «d but eight pound?.

Toe banes, thoDgh 8-nali, are matured bones, and can- et be made to enlarge. TaO m: j rity of farmers seem not to be ware of tee fac^, o; to heed it if they knew t. The fnndamental rola of growing feck may be expressed in these terms Weei a snfglency and of the proper kind of io«d to keep the animals always growing aa npidly as possible. As long as the rela- tive prices of feed and meat make stock growing profitable at all it will pay to feed after this rcloi Timely Suji^eotioiis. An old farmer says be never knew " a whistling laborer" who gave any trouble abaut his food, lodging, or any little extra weik. Such men are generally kind and genial to ohildzea and to animals ef all de- grees they come around Um without fear. Generally such men have ole»r con- sciences, clean tongues and morals, and are safer among young people than the mtj trity of atrolling hands are, whose presence among them, when not guarded, ia pollu- tion and perdition. Heaves is a specific disorder arising from indigestion as one principal cause. Musty hay and grain is one of the piedisposing causes. ^^oDg the mare prominent symp- tcmi is a grnatipg oo-gi, more or less emaOiatien, a starivg coat, and a general dis- ability for work. Tbe treatment ia to feed nothicg but the most digestible food, and with aa little bay aa will properly diatend the Bt»mach. Give but little water at a time, but as eften as neoecsary, and never immediately after eating, D« not drive tbe horse hard, and never vrltiiin an hour after eating. Grass, any f mite the horse will eat, Doalded sound eats, and 'bran mashes will be indicated. If the bowela are oonstipted give tbe following Five drams Btrbacees aloes and 1 dram each of gentian and ginger make into a ball with aeap or sirup and give. Aa a tonio to be given in soft food the following will be good One-half ouroe anlpbato of iron, 1 ounce nitrate of pot»8b, 2 urama fenugreek seed, 2 ounoea linaeed meal powder, mix, and give a tesapoonfnl morning and night. Lee tbe harae cool alewly and then groom him quite dry, first wlih a wis^ of atraw, then with a bruab. Tliia removes duet, dirt, and aweat, and allows time for the atomaoh to reoever itaelf and tbe appetite to return. Also let bis legs be well rubbed by the hand. Nothing so soon remevea a strain, Italsodeteota thorns or splinters, soothes the anlmala, and enablea him to feel cam- fertable. Suooeaa in tbe dairy dependa entirely apon the dairyman.

Annivenar/ of a Bell, The busy oity of Brealan, in Prus^a, found time recently to oelebrato tho five hnndtedth birthday ef a ohnroh bell. A tragic atory ef tha oaatiag ef thia bell has k*pt it fanoca threnghont Germany for a longer period than haa elapsed since tho dis- covery of America. The founder of the bell, en the aeven- teeath *f Jaly 1386. wbea the moltea me- tal waa j 4at ready to run into the mould, left the lenadry for a few momenta in charge of a boy, warning him not te meddlo with the apparatua. Tbe boy disobsyed tho in- j anotien, and set the metal numlng. Ter- rified, he called the founder, who, on seeing the miaohlef, auppealng the ball mined, Btruck tbe boy to the earth aad killed him. Wbea the metal cooled aad the bell waa tried, it waa found to be ef admirable tone and fiaiahâ€" the feaader'a maatorpieoa. Stricken with remorse, ho gave hfmaelf up to tha mgletrato, and was condemned to expiate hia orime by death. He walked to tho place ef exeoutlon to the tolllog ef hia own bell, oalling upon all the penpie to'pray for " the poor ainner." Tbe b*It haa ever since borne the name of the Poor Slaner'a Bell. At that early period Brealan was a coun- try village ef little note. It haa new grown to ba tho aeat of the linen maanfaotnre of Silesia, and next ts Berlin, the largest oito of Pmaala, The anniveraary of the found- in« ef the Poor Sfnner'a Bsll waa not for- gotten, however. Tho lell waa rung morn- ing and evening, and the psator of the ohnroh prtaohed a aermen in honor of the oooaaioD, ia whiob he told ocoemore the well-remembared tale. Fromotiflg Oxvilization.
