AUGUST fDAY.

These are the soft delicious August days
Which so eHwfap themselves IN tender haze,
And peepifg tliro the mist with dreamfdl eyes,
Turn golden meath the plow of August skies.
The passing breeze stops lazlly TO play
With every leaf and flower on It's way,
Borrows the perfume from its playmates sweet,
Then dies, to make the August day complete.
rest me idly meath the branches spread
Like strong protecting arms above my head,
While memory pains picture fairto see,
And sings an old time melody to me-
Only q song which tells of love and truth,
In days when all things blossomed bright for
youth,
When timid hearts, by tell tale eyes betrayed,
Grew bold at last, and earth heaven made.
And then, ah me! as II but yesterday,
Our parted lives went each its chosen way.
4 see the pale, grave face, the saddened eyes
Tear -diiiimed, vet blue as were the happy skies.
hear the voice, toned with grlef sup
pressed,
I hear long drawn sigh which shook her
breast
And an! / feel again the weight Of woe
VI hich hid my Summer under Winters snow.
And so we parted; and the after years
nj ade up of sunshine, shallow. joy, and tears,
Have healed our wounds, as years, we know,
The bitterest sorrow human hearts can feel.
She has forgotten that past Summer time,
When love and truth kept up their merry
chime,
And IL love but these dear August days,
Which fold me close within their dreamy haze.

covered in the> following way: About
thirty years ago friend lost by bots q
very fine horse. He took from the stom-
ach of the dead horse about a gill OF
bots and brought them to my office to
experiment upon. He made prepara.
tions Of every remedy he had heard of,
and put some into each. Most had no
effect, a few affected them slightly, but
sage tea more than anything else; thai
killed them in fifteen hours.
He concluded that he would kill them
by using nitric acid, but 1t had no more
effect ON them than water; the third
day they were as lively as when put in.
A bunch of tansy was growing by my Of
flee. He took handful OF that, bruised
il, added little water, squeezed out the
Juice and put some on; they were dead
In one minute. Since that have given

with bots, and have never known 1t to
fail OF giving entire relief. My friend
had another horse affected with bots,
several years later. He gave him the
tansy in the morning and a dose Of SALTS
In the evening; the next morning he
took up from the excretions three halt
pints of bots.

An American farmer of note, after vls-
iting England and examining with the
critical eye Of practical and expert.
enced agriculturist, the system pursued
there, says: am th oroughly confirmed
in my old faith that the only good farmer
of our future is to be the "high farmer"
There is widely prevailing an.
tipathy among the common farmers OF
our country against the practice Of high
farming and against the use OF the phrase
by agricultural writer's. This is all
wrong, and should be at once corrected.
Through some misconception of the
meaning Of the phrase, and also OF its
application, they have to believe it SYM
onymoous with theoretical shook farm.
ing" "new tangled notions" boasted
progress, followed by disappointment
and final failure.
This Is all an error. High farming
simply means thorough cultivation, lib
eral manurlng, bountiful crops, good
iced, and paying profits therefrom. 1t is
not strange that misconceptions have
arisen in the minds of doubling farmers
who have been eye witnesses to some OF
the spread eagle experiments OF enthu-
siastic farmers, better supplied with
money obtained in business they knew
how to manage tnan with practical ex-
perience on the farm. Bountiful crops
and paying profits, OF course, are what
farmers who are depending upon the
farm tor an income, are striving to OBJ
tain; and every year as it passes is re-
confirming the opinion that profits are
small, and will grow beautifully less
where high farming is not pfacticed.

Cut Feed For Horses,

An accurate farmer has furnished the
Country Gentleman q statement of his
experiment with feeding cut fed and
meal to his horses, accompanied with
weighing aud measuring. lie cuts oats
and straw about an inch long with a
raw-hide cylinder machine; and this
ehopped straw is then treated with corn
meal and BRAN, mixed in about equal
quantities as to weight, 80 that each
horse has about bushel of cut feed and
three quarts OF the meal and bran twice
in each day. Sometimes hay is cut i'll.
stead Of oat-straw OF both are mixed.
1t is found that two hundred pounds
per week Of this mixture of corn-meal
and bran, added to the cut feed, will
keep pair OF working horses iii the
best condition. This, he is satisfied
from experiment, is less than two-thirds
the cost of keeping them on uncut dry
and whole grain. The cornmeal alone
is not so good tor horses as when mixed
with bran. An excellent meal is made
of ground oats. The fodder is cut by
horse power, on stormy or spare days,
and stored in large bins, 30 as to furnish
always surplus on hand.

denounoe them would pronounce the
snug little coaches, in which family
party may travel in quiet and seclusion,
ne much superior to our monster cosmo-
politan cars as private parlor at a hotel
is superior to the general sitting-room.
However, be the comparative merits OF
English and American cars as they may,
the custom too prevalent in America OF
crying down everything English in its
style or origin is in very bad taste, and
displays an ungenerous and narrow
spirit which is by no means an honor to
our people. There are many customs Of
our mother country from which
we have departed, some of which we
might perhaps have profitably re.
tained. There are many Of those
adopted by us which might have
with propriety been avoided. Perhaps,
on the whole, our customs and institu.
tions may seem to us somewhat superior
to those of our friends across the water,
but that is no reason Tor egotistical
boastings Our ignorance OF the real
merits Of the other side frequently leads
to erroneous conclusions and disgrace
full and ridiculous error. True, the En-
glish, as class, are troubled with the
same weakness regarding American Gus
toms, but this only shows that our judg-
ment is not infallible in all things, and
likewise illustrates to us the ridiculous
light in which we frequently place our.
selves in criticisng those things of their
country with which we are not pleased.
The American people should be above
petty criticism and fault finding regard.
ing the affairs of our neighbors, and
should discard the system Of odious and
egotistical comparisons and snobbish
prudery as unworthy of great nation.

Watering Trees.

AS general rule, watering young
trees in summer does more harm than
good, by crusting the surface, without
reaching the roots; and even If the roots
are reached, the relief is only temporary,
unless the watering is regularly re-
peated. There is a great want OF ap-
probation of the amount Of water re.
quired for trees by those who apply this
remedy. A young tree four or five feet
high, il growing well, soon throws out
roots several feet on each side. If these
roots are only three feet long, the circle
of roots will be six feet in diameter, and
at the depth OF only one foot there would
be no less than twenty-seven cubic feet
of earth to saturate with water, requir-
ing for one-tourth the bulk, nearly one
hogshead tor single watering. 1t is
true that young tree just set out may
have had its roots cut much shorter, but
as new ones are to be quickly thrown out
into the soil as it commences growth, a
narrow watering will do but little good.
Clean mellow culture is better than all
the watering that can be given-or wide
and heavy mulching If cultivation is i'm
cticable.-Countfy Gentleman.

EVEN the Colorado potato bug has sue
ceeded in making himself useful. In
many Of the counties on the Hudson a
plant known as horse nettle (solanum
carolinense). one of the worst weeds
ever endured, is in some places literally
running away with the fields, covering
them to such an extent as to completely
kill of the grass. The plant was intro
duced by Humphrey Marshall, in his
botanical gardens at Marshalltown,
where it has extended to the surround
Ing country. AS illustrative OF its te-
nacity one farmer writes: "On my own
property is small patch, never over 10
teet square, that l have constantly
watched for some eight years, never suf.
ferlng plant to go to seed, but dug up
and destroyed every root that I could
ind during that time, without yet sue
ceeding iu entirely destroying them.'
This plant seems to be treat to the po.
tato bug, more enticing than the potato
Top itself. They attack it with more en-
orgy than does the farmer, and SO con.
slant and vigorous are their assaults on
1t, that whole fields are giving way be-
fore them, and the land owners hail the
appearance of the bug as blessing, be-
Ing willing to sacrifice the potatoes to
The advantage of having the obnoxious
weed rooted out.

She repeated the confession she had

Ross neghbors, who had refused to
recognize him since his release from
prison, and who had even talked of or
dering him to leave the community, now
hastened to take him by the hand, and
say that they had never believed him
guilty, and had constlnlly predicted
that time would bring his vindication.
Ross was soon placed in possession of
his fortune, but he was 30 generous as to
make every effort to obtain the release
of his unnatural cousin, saying he was
determined to provide 80 literally for
her that she should not miss the estate
