How to Keep Your Pets.

A veteran dog fancier, who takes the
same view of hydrophobia that the la
mented Frsncis Butler took, SAYS:
l have keep pure bred dogs foryears,
and have been bitten dozens Of times
in all times of the year. My treatment
of dogs is: When fits are coming on
give them teaspoonful of common ia
bic salt. This makes the dog slime
When dogs cannot slime they will
have fits. When they begin TO slime
again you can rest assured that all is
right. Do not give them raw meat Of
tener than three times week. Give
dogs plenty of water, and if the dog is
chained up have the chain long enough
so that the animal may lie down in the
shade Never muzzle the dog. The
best food for dog in warm weather
is corn meal made 10 spawn in a
cruel boiled from sweet or good bones.
When this is cold feed in slices. Dogs
will keep in fine condition on this food
and in perfect health.

Canned Fruit.


Use only fresh fruit, and that which
Is perfectly ripc-not too soft but just
right to cat well. Fill your cans full
Of fruit, put the can in kettle of cold
water; put few iron rings in the bot
tom of the kettle TO prevent the cans
from breaking; then put over slow
fire at first, making it hotter after the
cans become hot. Too great heat at
first will crack the cans at the bottom.
Meanwhile make nice syrup of white
sugar, and when your fruit is half
done cooking pour your syrup over
the fruit in the cans, and continue boil
ing until done, remove from the fire
and seal. Some people cook the fruit
in the cans. but it does not preserve
its natural flavor as well, neither will
the syrup be as clear. Cooking the
fruit in cans is the proper way of cam
ming fruit, in my estimation. use
half pound of sugar to quart of fruit,
cherries, peaches and raspberries will
do with six ounces. Cook quart jars
twenty to thirty minutes. according TO
the hardness of the fruit. Keep watch
ofyour cans while boiling, and as the
fruit in the can lowers, fill up with
well rippcned fruit next morning test
your jars; if they do not hold, boil
them over again, and ifthe cover holds
them it will keep for years, as have
some now nearly four years old which
look as if they might keep four years
longer. BY testing ten days after can
ming you will never be awakened in
the night by loud report, as of agun
going of, as have heard people tell
about, and breaking some half dozen
cans nearest them. Keep your cans in
. cool, but not damp place.

After the Worms.

A Middlefied farmer has wrestled sew
craly, this year with the cabbage
worms. When they first put in an APP
pearance, he gave them dose of slack
ed lime, followed by a dose of unslack-
cd lime, charcoal, pounded oyster
shells, soppcras water, hen manure,
carbolic acid, bromo-chloralum, kero-
sene, ION the application of the latter,
they wrigglcd their tails and asked for
morc), magic oil, vermifuge, elixir pro
cough syrup, anodine Imminent, sneez-
ing snuff, several washes, and dyes for
the hair, condition powders and sever
al remedies of the day, after which it
was about an "even thing" for the cab
bage and worms. As last resort he
gave them dose of sperm oil, which
cxterminatcd every worm, and he has
the best lot of cabbage he ever rails
ed i'm his life.

And hum OF bee.

In the meadow grass
The innocent white daisies blow;
The dandeliOn plume doth pass
Vaguely TO and fro
The unquiet spirit of 4 flower
That hath too brief an hour.
Now doth little cloud all white
Or golden bright.
Drift down the warm, blue sky;
And now on the horizon line,
Where dHsky woodlands lie,
\ sunny mist dost shine.
Like veil before a holy shrine.
Conceaiing,

Things Divine.
Sweet, sweet. sweet,

Astir in the rippled wheat
An day long.
That exquisite music calls
The reaper everywhere
Life and death must share,
The golden harvest falls.
So doth all end

The bloom Of the heart;
Master, CONSIDER, friend,
Make thou the harvest Of our days
To fall within thy ways.

A quaint writer in an agricultural
exchange says. that the quality of a
crop very much depends on the color
of the pillow used. A bright plow is
the thing to produce good crop, while
a dim rusy ono is poisonous to it.
What is singular, securing the plow
by hand with sand, &C., won't do, it
must be secured and got bright by re-
pcatcdly running through the soil.

Than one which stood Of old;

With shifting glinmers of gold.

The houses where they prayed

NOr, the stones my fathers laid. -.

Has passed tue lcvelling tide,
My fathers lie low. and their sons outgrow
The bounds of their svill and pride.
Shifting, sweeping, change,
1t plays with mans endeavor,
They carved those names grown strange,
And thoy said "Abde for ever"
The city, I say, lieth far away
Whereto no change may come;
1t has rays of manifold crimson and gold,
But cannot count their sum.
They sigh no more by its happier shore
Who wander, torboding not
OF waning away Of chaugeful day,
Or changing of life and lot.
They dream not there OH earth changing
face,
Or mutable wind and sea
Thou art changeless. grant me place,
In that far city with Thee

For thy thought is still the same,
