"Stay here a mii.ute, Lily." said Mrs. Chester, "till I send Sarah for borne medicine I shall waut to-night." They were ulone together.

There wan not a loud word only low, nlmoH whispered tones, but she beat over him nearer, and kissed his broad, whito forehead, and the crippled physician knew that for his heart and mind she loved him, and ho had found his wife.

A week ago another pig was turned into Hob ICoy's enclosure, and the big hog tolerated her presence. She fed at the sain- trough with him. and nil went well until Saturday.

All surplus should be rennved from hives at the close of the honey season; if left it will soon bcoiiie dark and have a solid appearance, and bees cannot pro tect a large surplus ssi well, and unless the hives ale very close, robbers will find their way to the honey. Comb-honey should be carefully sti red in a close building, so that bees cannot tind it; not in cellars or underground repositories of uny kind, but above ground, and have plenty of light and uir, and at the same time prevent bees from entering. C0111I1 liotiey can be kept free from nuts and other in 'eels by placing it on tables Un fed of which may set in basins of water and kerocne. Ants are very destructive to comb honey ; they puncture the cap ping's and destroy its appearance. Kx traded hon-y should not, as yet, In' kept in air-tight vessels, as it is still in pro cess of ripening, and if the jjas that is produced cannot escape it will burst the packages; hence, they should have a small opening at least. Hytricted honey may be kept together in any tpi ititit" if pretty well ripened; if not, it should hi; iu small on iiitities. llarthenw are nud tin are probably best for keeping extracted honey in, although ki gs and barrels can le ued, but should lirst receive 11 coat ing ol beeswax inside. This can easily be done by pouring in mi ltd beeswax uud running it over the surface. City Hud 'wintry. M A N A 1 1 1 N 1 1 I NK.Asy COWS. To sit down to milk a cow that is ills, posed to kick, or is so uneasy as to be con: inu.illy stepping is an annoyance that leads to a Very strong desire to Use 'cuss words" if not "hard knocks" and it is the development ot this desire oil the part of rough helpers that frequently ruins an otherwise valu ibh' animal, says , W. II. Foreman, in the Siithtr:t Lire ' Mori- Ju'irind. Any habit ol this kind is in unions in more ways than one; it ' makes 1111 iindcsh-ablu animal, ami r constant interruption in the milking I tends to diminish the flow of milk. Wc recently purchased a Hue cow that was 1 soon to come in, at a surprisingly low price; at calving time we thought we 1 discovered the reason ; upon attempting to milk, the cow had formed the habit of lifting her foot so constantly and so close to the pail that it rendered milking almost impossible. In devising ways ' and means for prevention we took a ring anil staph- ami attached it to the sill in the barn directly back ot where the cow was stanchioned ; we then took 11 strap' with buckles and buckled around the right hind leg just above the fetlock, and setting the foot back, hitched th" other tinl to the ring. We tlicii sat down and went to milking, the cow attempted to take her foot up over the pail; but every time it came back in its place, and our milking continued iu full confidence of safety. After repeated trials tho cow gave up for a few minute-, ami then would try again with the same result. As soon us we finished milking, the cow was releised. Wc continued putting 011 the harness, anil for some time she would try to continue the oltl trick, but linding it was of no avail she soon tired of it. Aftr pursuing this tieatmcnt for about three weeks we omitted the placing of the strap and there was not a foot raised. The cure was ctl'ectual; 110 harsh words were employed, but the animal soon dis covered that she was controled by a power superior to her own, and very L-rui efully yielded to its influence Tt mlirht tie mimewlmt ililTi.r..nt. in Case ol an absolutely vicious and ugly kicking cow, and yet we have uo doubt that tho above treatment will subdue them, although the attaching of thestrau .tould be attcuded with somo danger. llousKs AT rkst.
