Poetry.
On the other Side.

We 60 our ways in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all our kind
Too often we are deaf to sigh and moan -
Too often to weak and helpless, blind;
Too often where distress and want abide,
We turn and pass upon the other side
The other side is trodden smooth, and worn
By footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where lie the bruised ones who faint and mourn,
Is seldom more than an untrodden way,
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide; {
They lead us all upon the other side. i
1t should be ours the oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones;
10 take the smitten and sick and sore,
And bear them where the stream of blessing
runs; +.5a 10 AMY s15s .st L s35rr H b
Instead, we look about, the way is wide;
And so we pass by on the other side.
Oh, friendsand brothers, gliding down the years,
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born of grief and tears
II pray you listen to the thrilling call
You cannot in your selfish pride,
Pass guiltless on the other side.

CULTIVATION OF TOMATOES. Tomatoes
are now essential articles of diet in every
household; and, when one grows for his
own use, quality is Of far more consequence
than mere quantity. We have now for sew
eral years noted the growth of tomatoes on
poles, and compared them with all other
ways, and think there is ne question as to
their absolute superiority in every respect.
The common field plan of leaving them grow
as they list, spreading everywhere over the
ground, may be, as truck. growers say it is.
the way in which the heaviest weight of
fruit can be had in proportion to the labor
spent, but in this way the fruit is more acid
than under any other system. Another
plan is to made trelis so that it looks like
an inverted v, with the plants trained up
both sides but the great shade to the fruit
in this way prevents that perfection which
the sun and air givs them when trained up
to stakes The best way to proceed is to do
as is done with Lima beans that is, set the
stakes before the plants are put out. These
need not be over six feet out of the grouni,
and may be set about four feet apart each
way AS the plants grow, tie them up to
these stakes but that will not be required
over half dozen times during the season.
Twenty plants in this aay will yield as much
fruit as double the quantity on any other
plan, and in quality there is no comparison.
In planting do not set out until the soil is
warm, Or they will be stuuted and nothing
gained

GLYcER1NE CEMENT. when cement is
to answer only temporary purpose, as, for
instance, in making the corks or shoppers of
bottles perfectly air and vapor tight, it will
not do to employ kind which becomes
very hard, as is the case with oil and lead
compounds. nor again, other kinds, such as
wax and rosin, which are softened by many
clientele vapors. The best cement in such
cases is red lead, or finely powdered lither-

hardens soon enough, and when required
can easily be removed ...-

RAISING TURKEYS The turkey is the
most tender when young, and most difficult
to raise of all the domestic fowls; yet with
proper care in setting the eggs under game
hens and coping the brood at night regu-
larly, while the turkeys are young, they may
be easily reared in great abundance. New
er feed the young turkeys with boiled eggs
or corn meal dough, or wheat bread crumbs.
They need very little food of any kind un-
der seven days ofage, and should have moth
ing but sour milk set in pans At about a
week or ten days give them also wheat
screenings or crumbs soaked in sour milk.
Let this be their only feed till they begiu to
feather, and then give them grain of any
kind. Tie the hen (Which has the young
turkeys to peg off to herself, with a coop
near by her so that she can enter at night
to roost. AT two weeks old let the hen
loose to roam, and if she be game hen she
will do the work of rearing the brood.

USE OF BUNDLE BEEs.-Boys think it
glorious fun to fight humble bees, but they
should not be encouraged in the warfare
Bundle bees, like all the hynaenoptera, play
an important part in the great field of Ma
ture. The vein-winged insects which fly
from flower to flower do not injure or des-
troy the flowers, but make them productive
by distributing their pollen. They also rid
us Of our innumerable noxious caterpillars
and other insects, which they convert into
wholesome food for their offspring. The
ordinary honey bee performs its work well
in the fer iization of white clover, but its
probosls is not long enough to enable it
reach the hectares OF red clover. For the
fertilization of the red clover we must rely
to great exteut upon the humble bee
Darwin has called attention to the intimate
connection between the number Of cats in
given district and the yield of red clover
seed. The mice destroy humble bees, and
the cats destroy the mice; therefore, the
more cats, the more humble bees, and the
more humble bees, the greater is the red
clover yield. In order to make the red clo-
yer grow more abundantly in New Zealand
than it does, some enterprising gentlemen
are talking of importing colonies of bundle
bees from England Boys will thus see
how earnestly the humble bee is desired in
countries where he works not. Then, should
we not protect what we already have, and
which performs such important services in
our fragrant meadows ?
