soUANDERED LIVES.

NY BAYAgD TAYLOR.
The fisherman wades IN the snnges,
The sailor sails over the sea;
The soldier steps bravely 10 battle;
The woodman lays axe 70 the tree.
They are each Of the breed OF the heroes,
The manhood attempered In strife,
Strong hands, that go lightly 10 labor,
True hearts, that take comfort In life.
In each is the seed 10 replenizh
The world with the yigor II needs.
The centre Of fhonest affections,
The impulse 10 generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood Of the fishes,
The sailor Is dropped In the sea:
The soldier lies dead by his cannon.
The woodman Is crushed by his tree
Each prodigal life that is wasted
In manly achievement unseen.
But lengthens the day OF the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.
The blood Of the noblest Ia layished,
That the selfish profit may find;
But God sees the lives that are squandered.
And we TO His wisdom are blind.

A Deluded Britisher.

III must tell you," writes New York
correspondent, chow an amiable lady from
the right little, tight little island was de-
ceived by her trusted but wicked nephew,
who had lived in this city some time be-
fore his aunt came to pay him visit. She,
the aunt, had heard much Of our water
melons, and was anxious to see and taste
one; so in the height Of the season off
went the nephew to Washington Market,
and there procured the largest melon that
ver,grew. At dinner, the whole affair
having been previously arranged, this
huge specimen was put on the table, when
all at once another nephew exclaimed to
the host: "Well, should have thought
you would have got q sgood-sized melon
to-day, when you knew auntie has never
seen one, and that is such miserable lit
tie thing T. Poor auntie looked at the
fruit With staring eyes; and it was found
that she had written in her notebook,

Butter Factories.

The American Grocer says: "Perhaps
three-fcurths Of all the butter marketed
might be made, with proper care and sys.
tenn, worth twenty per cent more, and
actually at less expense than it is now pro-
duced; and something of this sort the but
ter-m9kers must do to compete with the
artificial product. 1t can, in our judgment.
be accomplished by the farmers adopting
some plan of cooperative butter-making,
as is done by cheese factories. We do not
say that the same plan may be suited to
every locality, but the principle, in some
form, is equally applicable to every Sec
tion. Where the population is sufficiently
dense, the regular butter factory, taking
the milk directly from the farmers, may be
adopted. Where the difficulties Of trans
porting the milk are too great to admit Of
this plan, the farmers might churn their
cream, and carry the raw butter itself to a
central factory to be manipulated by some
such method as is proposed by the Dake
process, by which all the different grades
Of butter could be thoroughly worked over,
and uniform quality and color obtained.
Factory butter, like factory cheese, now
commands an extra price.

Minnesota Wheat and Flour.
Rice County Journal.

The eastern dealers have made some
very important discoveries as to our
wheat and flour, and of especial value to
our producers and to the reputation of our
State in general.
One Of the most important Of these dis
coveries was announced by the Boston
bakers. They tried Minnesota spring
wheat -four with the best Southern and
Western winter they could. get, and by
actual baking OF bread from barrel of
each, found that our best flour produced,
by careful, actual weight, 40 pounds more
bread than the other and of better quality !;
and, thinking that possibly they had made
a mistake, repeated the experiment with
the same results.
Another important discovery has been
quite recently imported, and it is this
wheat, shipped by way of Duluth to the
New York market, will bring about ten
cents per bushel more than the same
wheat shipped in the>old way, by Milwau-
kee and Chicago. What is the reason
everybody will ask. The reason is that
there is less opportunity for mixing with
inferior wheat going by Duluth. Read
the following slip from the marke: report
from the New York World:
"There is very irregular market for
flour. There was something of specula-
tion in the better grades of Minnesota
brands, including "patents" and shipping
extras in good to prime lines were wanted
at 1926 to $6.50-some 5000 or 10000
barrels Of these two grades being sold ;
but low extras and seconds from Western
winter wheat were hard to move and were
reported sold belows$6. Supers and No.

Oxen for Hard Work.

If the digestive process in cattle we're
better understood, would it not rather
seem strange that there are not more sick
oxen than that there are so many? Just
look moment at the treatment our work
ing oxen receive during the spring while
doing the plowing They are fed in the
morning with all the hay they will eat,
and perhaps have only just about time
enough to swallow it brfore they are yok
ed up and hitched to the plow. They are
made to stick to it till noon, when they
are again fed with more hay. As soon as
it is eaten they are taken to the Geld again
and driven before the plow till five, six or
seven o'clock, according to the ambition
or necessities of the owner. They are
then put up again and fed with hay.
Now, if an OK can only digest his food
after it has been remasticated, and he is
given three meals in succession of such
food as needs to be chewed over, and is
made to work hard, as at plowing, all the
time between meals, what time does he
have in which to prepare that food for
digestion except during the hours of night,
when he should be expected to sleep
If the night, after hard days work, is
the only time in which digestion can 60
on, is it strange that we find every year so
many oxen that are ''of their fecd," have
no appetite. and do not seem to be ben
netited by what food they do eat?
If cattle are fed meal after meal Of long
hay, with no time allowed for rumination,
how can they be expected to, long remain
in health? Does this peculiar condition
of the working OK explain the reason why
daily feeding of meal and less hay to a
hard working animal is a great deal better
for him than hay alone9 And does the
fact that the OK needs long time every
day in which to rechew his food, and that
he cannot retain his health without it, &C
count for the superiority Of horses over
oxen for doing very hard and continuous
work for whole days at time?
If the above propositions are pertinent,
do they not help to throw some light on
the long disputed question: Which are
bette, oxen or horses for the farmer
The answer must depend wholly on the
kind Of work to ne done, the length of
time allowed for doing it, and whether the
work is continuous for many hours in sue
cession or alternated by frequent resting
spells, as when waiting for cart to be
loaded or unloaded.-iNew England

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Composition Cakc.-Onc pound of
sifted flour, with two teaspOOnfuls of
cream baking-powder well sifted through
it, one pound of sugar, half pound of
butter. half pint of sweet cream, and
one gill of white brandy. Bake in a
slow oven. Flavor to taste. Citron or
candied lemon improves this cake.
Blowing sands may be gradually
made productive by spreading six inches
thick of straw over them, to remain till
rottsd. Then seed thickly with clover
on the surface, without blowing, and
when the clover has taken hold and be-
comes established pasture sheep upon
the land for two or three years prepara-
tory to manuring and cultivating it.
Sponge Cake Roll.-If the directions
for making this cake are carefully Oh
served there will be no such thing as a
Failure" in making it. The eggs are
not beaten separately, and the quicker
the cake is put together the better it
will be. Take two teacups of coffee A
sugar, two teacups of sifted flour, two
large teaspoonfuls of baking-powder;
into this break six good-sized eggs; beat
all we'll together; turn into square jelly
tins, and bake in quick oven to light
brown. When done turn out on mold
ing board and spread thickly with jelly;
roll carefully, and wrap each roll in a
clean napkin. Can be used for the
table at once.
Fine and Coarse Hay.-Producers
are sometimes puzzled to know why city
buyers generally ask for coarse, well-ma-
tured hay in preference to the more ten
der and in reality more nutritious kinds.
The Lice Stock Journal thus cnlightens
them: " City men feed hay for a different
purpose than the farmer. The farmer
feeds it for its nutriment and as a prin.
cipal food, while the city man regards
grain as the cheapest food, and only
gives sufficient hay to make bulk in the
stomach and for the purpose of health
Coarse, well-matured timothy serves the
purpose better than the early-cut and
fine grasses. They do not desire such
hay as will tempt the horses to eat toe
much of it. Straw would answer this
purpose if cut and mixed with the grair
about as well. But farmers should III
content with this practice of the city Gus
toner, for it enables them to sell theil
poorest hay for the best price, and to re
tain the best quality for home consump
ton"

A healthy liver secretes each day about

must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds Of poison? Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.,-but
these organs become overtaxed i'm performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
tons, and cannot long Withstand the press

The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from

faithfully. Hence the symptoms Of bile

would he poisoned. DIR. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when. he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters which now rank as an inestima-
BILE household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
this specific before he offered it to the
world. He introduced it with simple
statement of the manner in which he had
discovered its vegetable ingredients and
been cured, while wandering, sick and
poor, among the California tribes. lie
stated what the preparation had done for
himself, and few sufferers from dys-
pepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung dis
cases. and many other prevalent dlsor-
ders believed him, tried the new restora-
tive, and were more than satisfied with
the results. In this way the sale OF the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that, in this age
of intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
a pecuniary failure-even though it may
lack the help of capital, and have to fight
its way against powerful opposing inter-
ests. Within two or three months after
its Introduction the article became self
supporting, and it now yields a magnlfl-
cent annual revenue.
