OrJuStice hastes with lifted lash;
one the rewards Of honor meet
The other chaos in its crash.
He who is balanced well and true,
Will never bend the supple knee
For his office he will get his due
He raises his own celery.
In field an orchard we behold
In buds his promissory notes,
To be redeemed in glowing gold,
When bob-o-links shall tune their Threats.
There's nothing "bue" about him save
The sky, and there is nothing "green"
Except the fields where grasses wave
Their plumes and beautify the scene.
His road was not by Wander built,
But it is safe, and straight and wide;
Gold beaten thin, and spread in guilt,
CLOVIS not where he would rule and ride.
His face is bronzed by summer skies,
His honest hands are hard and brown;
And there is something in his eyes
That comes with light from Heaven down.
He is not of earth clod,
But natures child erect and free,
Where wood-brds sing, and blossoms nod
And rivers shout in ecstacy.
To PREVENT Crows FROM PULLING
CoRN.-H. Editor As the time for
planting corn draws near think it would
be well to give the readers of the Standard
q remedy to prevent crows from pulling
it and thus save the trouble and expense
of time, images and every conceivable
thing that can be thought of to save that
necessary crop. Take the meadow poke
root, make a strong tea, when it is cool put
in your corn and let it stand in the tea
over night, then plant. Having tried it
myself the last two years, can recommend
it to my brother farmers as sure cure.
As soon as they get taste they will leave
and not trouble the corn again, and who
blames them? OTIS RICHARDSON.

ADVICE TO DAIRYMEN.-At a recent
meeting of the Illinois and Wisconsin Dali
rymen's Association, Mr.. Willard of New
York, said some excellent things. Among
them were the following:
In the matter of securing fine flavor in
both butter and cheese, some points have
been entirely overlooked in previous dis
cussions. 1t is only recently that the true
causes influencing the flavor Of dairy pro
ducts have attracted our attention. And
among these the question Of clean, pure
water for stock, has not been sufficiently
appreciated. Milk contains 81 per cent
of water and it would hardly seem reason
able to expect that the animals could over
step the laws of nature and manufacture
good milk from stagnant water yet, sucl
has been the case, and because manufac
turers have not been able to make a goOC
product out Of such milk, they have beer
blamed. With all our knowledge and ex
perience in New York, we have not beei
able, the past year, to obviate having som
bad favored cheese during the hotweather
especially the July cheese. took som
pains to study this question, and | foun

causes, but this one was invariable. In on
instance, the cause was attributed to tn
milk of one of the patrons whose cows ha
been drinking from frog ponds. This ma
changed his fences so as to get good waite
and so the trouble ceased. In the privat
diaries of New York and New England
particular attention is paid to this matte
On farms where springs are deficient, til

have the water pumped into a tank, and
arranged that it can run back into the we
after it has stood short time, as this wi

gases.
Another point on which the old dali
farmers are in error, in which is the eau
of great impurities in milk, is the bad co
struction of milking stables, most of the
little better than pest houses, owing to b;
ventilation. So bad are some of them tn
