I l''cw possessions arc h.ore ui.ivi i.ully :
valued mill wished f„r than strength, 1
but il is not so generally consult rod ;
tii.-.t only through long, patient and con- 1
lintious effort can it bo obtained. It is
thought of rathor as a bappy accident, I
in' a usl i* o gill, to bo passively grateful ! 1
for, t hull as a natural and certain result |
ot (nil and .striving. M econgratulate tlio
strong mi liis g'reng'li, hut rarely
praise or liouoi him on that account ; wo
pity the weak limn for liis weakness, but
it would seem cruel to mingle blame or
reproof nitli our pity. Yet the trull'
is that human strength can be earned
through liuinai, energy. It is not al
ways a gilt which nature showers u,....
i some ana denies to others,but iilten a
gradual development in the individual,
fading oil in aeuoidance with the aetivo
efforts and earnest struggles which ho
puts forth froiu day to day,
Take bodily stiengih lor example,
the infant gaitii it through constat t
motion, the buy through active play,
the man through toil and tug and bur
den. Let these era?e and stietiiilh will
developing . lei them be lei ixcd,
it will decline. No one call have the
strength to take long walks and hard
climbs who does not put forth in active
cflotts, from time to time, whatever
i'."-ee he has. No one has the strength
to ensure unusual toil and hardship who
has not struggled manfully in past con
flicts liodilv idleness as inevitably re
mits iu bodily weakness. The day i
happily well nigh past when women
prided themselves nil tl. -ir phj ical frail,
ty . but many still continue to be fee bI a
and call it their misfortune, when quita
often it is only the necessary couse- 1
qucucc of languid inaction.
This is equally manifest in the men- |
tal condition. The strong mind is one
which has accumulated power through
hard u:eutal activity. Much earnest
study, much effort, ot thought, many a
tussle with self-indulgence and love •!'
case, many a struggle with difficulties
and obstacles, have combined to give it
that vigorous force and el istieity which
Bto its poj«essor so valuable a boon.
We look with pleasure upon the ninn
, thus favored. V.'c nduiirn I.ls el r

reverie, must es| eet to be w. ak-io irdcd.
lie has denied to bin Intellect the very
foo l which it needs to build up and
strengthen it. Of course there are a'
few exceptionally gifted persons, to
whom this user;ion i« only a pleasure,
but most n|' us must learn our strength
tuiml by much MeudlWt toil and
some self-denial.
Moral struigtli also is gained chiefly
t lin ugh struggles of tbe no ral nature.
. Kv» ry lime a iciioit.ii is r sifted, un

Tbe otic whom all men hon-.r I' r bis vir

seems to offer no atiriotii.n. and who.
| i>rf>i ins each duty as it arises, appa
rently without an effort, has not gained
'bis power by treading flowery l» da of
ease. It has come to him through effort
nd sacrifice, and the more il Ims cost
the grostcr the reward. The poor weak
vietuu of temptation and indulgence, j
who is powerless to deny his appetite, i
or to subdue a craving, or to ics;st the |
, isuu ions of an oil cuiupaii >n, >s in
deed to be pitied, but his deplorable j
condition is due to long year, of moral
idleness, during which lie lias drifted in
to evil. instead of having stemmed the
current and res lutcly pressed forward
in the. opposite direction.
If this is so—if strength is only to be
obtained through effort— it may change !
the aspect of some things we arc areus
loniod to look upon as culiii ities ar.d

HOW .-!:!■ :.i' "JIV.
If a farmer has plenty i f patienci, and
is willing to give close attention to dt•
! tails in the care of stock, he can make
more money for food consumed from
sheep than any other stock. Hut not
one farmer in ten will catc to give them
the attention they require .it certain
season 4 of the yen": so the few who do
takej good caie of the flock w ill find u
1 good market for n: ut ton, and a demand
lor wool at soiu" price, muaily enoug l
to pay for wintering the flock. A farm
which i tolling in lis ,-urfacu seems
perfectly adapted to sheep raising.
Such i old needs grass on the liill tops to
keep it from washing, au 1 sleep need
hill tops and sweet, short grass. They
Ilka to lie d itvil o i a hill silu in
the spring, where tbe sun makes the
ground warm and dry, and where they
arc protected from the cold swe 'p of the
wind.
I'll • greatest profit on sli .op is not in
mutton or w iql, but in th.- eulianeed fer
tility of the farm on which they are
kept No other stock can compare
with sh ?in this direction. This in
creased value comes from two causes:
the large quantity of s did and liquid
manure deposited on all 'lie land, and
particularly »n the higest and poorts
points in the pasture. The manure be
ing line and well scattered, is pressed
about the roots of the grass, w'aoro it
gt?es the greatest'pi ssible benefit. An*
other source «hereby the grassos arc
encourage I in the dertruclion of bushes
and many kinds of weeds which grew
where cattle and horses only arc paster
cd. llazel brush fares very badly in
tbe sheep pusturo, and wild loses, rag
weed, burdocks, and other weeds are
selected first, and then the sheep lonk
for grass, lu this way a sheep pasture
becomes like a beautiful lawn, and ev
ery year grows better: but if tlio farmer
sees "millionsin sheep," and overstock
his fields, then the glass goes with the
bushes and weeds Then the sheep get
poor, tunibl : down one after another,
their ambition lessons as their flesh goes,
and the unfortunate own r,o« imprudent
manager, votes sheep a perfect nuis
ance.—Auictican . Igriciillurist.

"There is jreat cxcitciucnt on the
, td iec when a cow h-eshor cud," said
I the old farmer. " I lie biys run as fast
as they oan f ■!' the cow doctor, and we
all turn to and get tliiiiL's r. ady for him
. The o nv stands with her head down and
Uuci\ stretched out, and is altogether tin
most woe-begone animal you ever
saw."
i " A bat will happen if she dosen't find
the cud ?
"She will starxc In death. You see
a cow has four stomachs, and she
eats tin 'ntrii the day gees into tin? first
one. And at night she brings up some
of tbe food from the first stomach and
masticates it. Tins is called chewing
the cud. After she has done this, it
gors to the second stomach and is di
gested. If she loses her cud she can't
pass the food from tlie first to the second
stomach, mid she is bound to starve.
•Alien th doctor arrives !io slaps the
few's sile, twists her 'ad and looks in
her iiu-uth. Then he calls for a phoo
"! salt codfish and puts it in her moo:
It that fail.-- to bring tlio cud he rubs her
throat and cails f u r slippery elm. lie
puts u wad .uto her jaws and tries to get
her to chew. That failing be tries a
bunch of grass and a wad of willow
leaves. It all fail, a live fr -g is brought
and started down the cow's throat.
This never lads. The cow gives a heave
when the frog tickles her windpipe,
and up comes frog and cud." New
