all be very well in in their wy way but this first biby baby ia is sam something ething peculiarly marvel busall ou sAll its aunts rave ravo over it and even its uncles aro are moved to say readier deecher beecher and chuck it under the chin with a forefinger fore finger by way of ingratiating themselves with the infant of course the fond parents think the infant must be photographed the tile world at a distance should not be denied the opportunity of gazing upon ita its lineaments linea ments a record should be b kept e pt of its liveliness so some fine Eun day they go to a photographer then the first baby immediately begins to quarrel and fret and look less lem beautiful than usual although beis he is all dressed up in his best clothes he wants things that ho be sees in the photographers grap hers showcase and not obtaining ill I them bem t begins loudly to protect he I refuses to yield to bland ment sand keleher beecher deecher fails to soothe at last his turn coines comee the mother wants him in a a certain position the photographer approve of that P position and the baby wont b hae a v i it F finally a compromise is is effected the photographer jingles a bell clucks like a hen lien and raps with a click stick all at once hoping thereby to attract the attention of the first baby ba but when the picture comes out there are found three or four im rike overlying each other the scales of a A fend sitting is taken and the photographer steeps his toul soul in perjury by telling the infant that if he lie will hold till still a whit white mouse will nil I run out of the cai camera nera the result of this is a picture slightly shaky with the open A third picture is asat attempted when at the critical ma the baby sets up a prolonged prolonged howl thus

follo follow wa in theAmer the american Amer ifan isan agriculturist for januar a Buary T very few of the farmers of this cantry appreciate appreciate the value of tur ni aps as a farm arm crop some chemists estin estimate late them to contain ninety five per tr cent of water leaving only five fire per ier cent of flesh forming material and out of this email small part they deduct a portion as woody fibre fabre only good to help fill up the stomach of an n animal I amiot not prepared to dispute the correctness of this analysis but I do take issue with the conclusions that turnips have no greater value as food than may be indicated by the chemists fi figures agures gures turnips have bave po possibly a mechanical value as they may aid inthe inthe digestion of more concentrated food such as corn meal when fed with it perhaps the fault is to be found in the fact that the ninety five per eha ent cent of water is put down as worthies less in the economy of nature this very water ma may y prove of more importance im ortance than has 1113 been ascribed to it I have found that raw turnips will not only sustain life but cause hos hogs to thrine when fed nothing else I do not mean when fed a largo large quantity butan amount which according to the emits tables would be buch such a small per cent of the actual food that Etar starvation would be expected sheep and cattle will fatten on them with very little hay bay the credit can not be put down to the hay bay but must be carried over to the tar nipA if I understand the british system of making ra mutton it id is mainly and sometimes entirely by the use of turnip the sheep beep arc confined by hurdles on tho turnips where they help themselves until the crop athin tho the inclosure is cx exhausted bausted when they are moved to a fresh lot knowin the real value of turnips and how easily they can be converted into meat ineat why should not the american farmer avail himself of the opportunity and not rely so o exclusively upon corn every farmer she should u fd have a turnip patch the he larger the better the crop can always I bo 00 made supplementary to another on the farm and is so much clear gain |
