Now the world her fault despairs-
The guilt that stains her story,
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That form her earliest glory
The throne shall crum3ie.
The disdem shall vabe,
The tribes of earth shall humble
The pride of those who reign;
Aud war shall lay
His pomp away;
The fame that heroes CHERISH
The Story earned in deadly fray
Shall fade. decay and perish.
Homo, waits DER all the EARTH
Through endless generations,
The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds the expectant nations.

HERE Is a Japanese recipe for keep
ing meat fresh in hot weather: "Place
it in clean porcelain bowl, and pour
very hot water over it so as to cover it.
Then pour oil upon tue water. The
air is thus quite excluded and the meat
preserved"
WIEN a carriage has been run in the
summer season, use the water freely, SO
as to remove the dust or mud before
using the sponge and channels skin. We
have seen carriages ruined on the ex-
terror by scratches In the varnish,
caused by carelessness or ignorance in
this particular Mud should not be
allowed to dry on the varnish if it can
be avoided.
any ingenious boy can make, placed In
the trees and around the buildings, will
induce many pair of sweet-singing
birds to locate on your premises, and
you will find them serviceable as well as
pleasant, for they will rid your garden
of many of the pests, In the form of in
sects, that infest it.
THE following recipe for destroying
bugs on squash and cucumber vines has
been successfully tried for years. 1t is
certainly worth trial Dissolve a tea
spoonful of saltpeter in pailful of
water. Put one pint of this around
each hill, shaping the earth so that it
viii not spread much, and the thing is
done. Use more saltpeter if you can
afford it. 1t is good for vegetables, but
death to animal life. The bugs burrow
in the earth at night, and fail to rise in
the morning 1t is also good to kill the
grub in peach trees, only use twice as
mGch-say a quart or two to each tree.
There was not a yellow nor blistered leaf
on twelve or fifteen trees to which it
was applied last season. No danger of
killing vegetables with it. A concen-
trated solution applied to young beans
makes them grow wonderfully.
DoNT RELY ON Corn ALoNE.-The
Western Farmer says: The indications
are decidedly In favor of a good price
for corn during the summer and next
fall and winter. In view of this it is
especially important that farmers should
make provisions to secure as much
growth and flesh for their stock during
the summer as practicable, and to pro-
vide food that will take the place of
corn to some extent If there is a good
field of clover for the hogs, this will
save the corn during the summer. We
wish there were more attention paid TO
root growing for stock feeding. Some
farmers have found peas a very profit
able crop for feeding from the field,
sown either alone or with oats. A
great growth of pumpkins can be
secured and they are well worth their
cost. Corn thickly sown in drills is not
only valuable for cattle but for hogs in
early fall
NEW KIND OF OATs.-We have been
shown, says q correspondent of the st.
Albans Messenger, q sample of "hul-
less oats" by Mr.. Jacob Smith of Mont
pelier, who is introducing them as seed
for field culture In this state. They re.
semble the common oat after the hull
is removed. In threshing, the grain
comes out of the hull like wheat. Forty
bushels have been raised to the acre at
the West, and the grain weighs forty
eight pounds per bushel. The seed was
brought to this country few years
since by a laborer from Belgium, who
sowed it, but left it before it was har-
vested, so thatnothing further is known
of its history. 1t is claimed that the
grain makes an excellent meal, superior
to that usually obtained from the COM
mon varieties, after huJling, and as this
forms quite an item of food at present
in this country, if this new acquisition
can be raised successfully, it will be
very useful for this purpose, as every
farmer can easily raise sufficient for his
own use, at least.-Er.
PorAro- BEETLES Nor Poisonous. -
ARSENIC THE BEST REMEDY.-At late
meeting of the Champaign Co., Ill
Horticultural Society. Prof. Burrill, OF
the Illinois Industrial University
stated with respect to the Colorado
potato-beetle that he was now prepared
to disabuse the public mind in regard tt
the poisonous properties of this beetle
or its larvae. He had applied plaster
of the crushed insects to his arm, ani
had rubbed them into cut on hi
hand, had crushed hundreds of them il
his hands, and in one instance the huit
spirited into one eye-all of which hat
on unpleasant results, and he did no
believe that they possessed any poison
Gus properties whatever. He could no
say the same of the common potato-f,
Lytfa Vitsafa, or striped cantharis,-
which was NO doubt more or less poison
Gus, and it was possible that this led t,
an erroneous opinion in regard to tn
Colorado insect.
With respect to prevention of th
ravages of the Colorado beetle, Prof
