Of booves, at tho Fut-Ptock Show atChic.v go it was shown that of nine steers weigh tho first ng i 6 1 pounds the ch at the breeder end of year, cost to the i and feeder was throj and a half cents per these pound. gained In tho second year pounds live of an average of 566 each, the cost being n no cems pir pound. gained 080 Two pound*, of then the third year lut cost to make thirteen cent* per pmiru. This of course is an extreme case where tho cost of arti ficial feeding and car.: must lie taken into consideration, but the fact nevci the loss Remains that the older tho ani mil the le?s gain is there for tho food con auraod. The time inevitably comes when, however however much food is given, rich ti e food, no gain can be found. Hence it mny 1 o ^ct down a-* a constant rule that the older the animal the l.». ,c.„ n -hall wo got fo, tho food been given. In this connection the rtile has found identical in England. In relation Gazette (En to land), th h malt in rtl r ition tho Hum feeding ley to in that country, says: “At Mingt >n last weighed year a prize-win mng Levon fetter *0.) pounds at ii*8 days old, having made the very satis aetory pain lor a small breed of two pounds ham daily. Tins year at Birraing tho pri ©-winners in tho “under four ycai s old” class hud all gained less than two pounds daily, the crossbred Short-Horn and Angus bullocks having bred tho highest daily gain of one pound feurieen Oiinccs. 'i lie “under three years-old” animals had mr.de a daily gain of two pounds one ounce, and two pounds one and a half ounces in the case of the prl of e Sh pounds rt-Hon, three and and l olled hall wigus, and two a ounces in that of the cross bred Champion oxen. The name story, showing the advantage of early maturity, might be told of sheep, Colonel d'Aibrcs's I ampshirclambs have been exhibited, weighing ltd pounds at ten months old, a,nd who-o young sheep arc so d ns mutton at s von, eight, and nine months old. w ighing 112 p muds, or as nuchas w ethers d.d formerly at one year older.” 1 he. practical le son to be learned from the fore omg is that tne feider wh> keeps animals in low i esh for ye.rs and then puts them up to fatten loses money. The daily wa-te of an animal is • const ant factor. It take a certain atnound of food to keep this up. Only tho excess ot this, or what is gamed, goes to the credit account. Hence it has come to be a recognized fart among the better class of feeders that the fuller any animul destined for the butcher’s block the larger tho profit, and hence tho car lier the maturity the larger the return.

Though several miles apart, they appear atadislnn e, to be close together, and their light int:rminglcs. On a dark night, with all of them burning, they make a great show. These wells in full blast—with those flanking them on the right and on the left, with the broad glare of those at Wcllsburg, W. Ya., showing twenty miles to the northwest, and with tho*6 at Murraysville, Pa., thirty miles to the noithcast—make a scene which would terrify a stranger, if he should come upon it unaware of the existence of such things ns burning gas wells. It would only need columns of fiery lava to convinc e him that the whole re gion was full of volcanoes. And his terror would doubtless be complete when he* saw a great fiery column shoot syk ward, unless he was made aware of the real cause of the phenmetion, when he would remain to admire what a moment before had filled him with alarm. Ttie explanation of the sudden burst of flame is that it is necessary often to “ blow out'’ the wells and the pipe* leading to the regulator, to keep them from being ciogg d by the salt which gathers in the ihe* j ip a from the salt-waier thrown up by gas.

Sometimes boys think mothers are in the way; that they would have more liberty Mothers if it were not for their mother* have such searching eyes, eyes that seem to lool%right into, the heart, there especially that if there is anything hiding mothers should know about; and this is troublesome. If the boys would only .understand that it is love that makes the mother’s eyes so keen, hei voice so anxious, her questions so tations searching; love that knows ail the temp* that may come to a boy, and the trouble if there is no wise confident about 1 It is not the anxiety of a Paul Pry, but the loving guardianship of a mother. A wise man said, “God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers.” God may seem far off to us sometimes, but there is mother near, who will lead us back. The * isest and best men have honored their mothers. Few men who have accomplished a special work in the world do not give credit to their mother for the help and inspiration that made their work po sible. In giving this credit to their mothers they have honored they themselves, for it proves that as boys honored her instructions, were guided by her advice, # nd made a con¬ fidante of her in their hopes and desires. When the late President Garfield was inaugurated, the first person he saluted was his mother, showing plainly the place she held in his heart, nis life. ‘J he world honors and respects the man who honors and respects his mother. The neglect of a mother stamps a man or boy as heartless, ungrateful, if not cruel. The truly great men have never forgotten deeply those to whom they were most indebted. Many letters have been written about mothers, but few that show the sorrow that comes if the full measure of a mother’s love has re¬ ceived no return until too late to make it. The poet Gray, in 1765, wrote the following letter to a friend: “It is long since I heard you were gene in haste into Vorkshire on account of your mother’s illness, and the same letter informed me she was recovered. Otherwiso I had then wrote to you only to b g you would take care of her, and inform you that I had discovered a thing very little known, which is that in one s whole life one can never have any more than a single mother. You may think this obvious and (what you call) a trite observation. . . You are a green gosling! I was at the same age (very near) as wise as you, and yet I never discovered this (with full evi¬ dence and conviction, I mean) till it was too late.
