THE WISDOM OF LIFE.


Would you lesda happy life, -
Free from meland0 N.Y.
Gnawing care ana tnSsny stfife,
And rlunges of blind folly
l will tell you how to live IT,
Heartily aud truly,
With sweet honey in your hive,
Like bee III July.
Like the bee, be out and work
When the Gun il shining,
Never in corner Turk,
Whimpering ard whining.
If YOU scour the fields, you'll find
Thyme. or mint, or clover;
Something TO a,willing mind
God will still discover.
When the sky is grim and gray.
Though the clouds rain fountains,
March: and m0lchills on your way
Don't mistake for mountains.
If a ghost beside You stand,
Make no fearful comment;
But face the shadow boldly, AMI
IT'S vanished in a moment!
What the folks Of you may say
Never mind a rattle,
Spin your quiet yarn, while they o.
Waste their wind in battle.
Lies that float on wintery wings
With windy haste will perish;
But the secd Of truthful things
Times fruitful womb will cherish.
Wear your heart not on your sleeve;
But on just occasion .vs aga. =.
Let men know what you believe
With breezy ventilation:
Prove the good and make them thine,
With warm embrace and ample;
But never cast your pearls to swine, "
Who turn and rend and trample.
Make a renny when you can,
IT'S useful as tool is;
Blu, who says. money makes the man,
meager-witted fool is.
Rich is he whose genial breast,
With liberia! ealu:ation,
Hath welcomed all that's bright and beet
Throughout the wide creation.

Summer Care Of Hogs.

Many farmers seem to think that fall is
the only time in which pork can be made
probably. In the winter they try to find
out how small an amount Of food will
sustain life in their pigs. During the
spring they experiment in the same direc-
ton. In the summer they turn their pigs
out to grass in dry pasture, allowing
them 10 shirk for themselves, or else shut
them up in tight pen and feed them as
small an amount OF dry corn as is con-
sistent with their keeping alive. During
three fourths of the year hogs are kept on
a short allowance, and, of course, their
gain is very small. 49,,
About the time corn is harvested
farmers commence to rush things. Hogs
must now be fattened in a hurry: Now
they receive about as many ears as they
have before received grains. They are
stuffed like sausage till their skins will
hold no more, They are fed so much that
they cannot digest half of it. The wonder
is that more of them do not die of cholera.
They grunt from fullness now as a little
while before they squealed from empti-
ness. From hungry, half. starved crea.
ture the hog passes to q gourmand. The
farmer who was stingy Of his corn before
is now prodigal Of il. He is impatient to
into pork. He wishes it would work
faster. ...z- ,. E.u.
This method of doing things is all
wrong. 1t is contrary to nature, reason
and economy. To produce pork to the
growing all the year. During no time in
the season can pork be made so cheap as
in summer. Clover is cheaper material
to make it from than corn. It grows with.
out cultivation or care. Hogs will eat it
where it grows, which saves the labor of
harvesting. It Is q common thing for
early pigs to gain pouna q day on clover
alone. There is not 50 cheap or easy way
to make pork as this. The addition Of
one pound Of'soaked corn to their grass
food will cause q larger growth, though
too much corn must not be given, for the
reason that they would neglect to eat
At all times of the year hogs should be
kept IN good, growing condition. They
should never know hunger or be allowed
to run down. Their gain should be steady
from the time they are weaned till they
are slaughtered. During summer they
should have the run of . good clover pas
ture, and receive grain in addition accord
ing to the state Of the feed. They should
have shade, and If there are no trees to fur
nish it, sheds should be constructed. They
should have pure water in abundance. III
practicable, they should have q. place
where they can Wade Ii clear water,

Dry Cellars.

The Journal Of Chemistry, in an article
on digging cellars, says:
" II house is located on a wet soil,
special means must be employed to keep
the cellar dry. A trench dug around the
outside, as low as the footings, filled with
loose stone, and extended by q pipe
drain to lower ground, will in many cases
prove effective. Or a trench may be
dug around the cellar inside and filled
in the same way, with an outlet under
the wall at its lowest corner, for the
water to run off. These are called
blind drains,' and are built of various
sizes according to circumstances, but
should scarcely ever be less than foot
by eighteen inches in section. These
channels are simply to carry off water
from the ground, and keep the floor and
walls dry, and of course are never to be
used for any other purpose. If the floor
of cellar is unusually wet and spongy, it
may be necessary to cover its whole sur.
face with coarse gravel or broken stone,
or other dry, porous rubbish through
which water may pass freely, and to make
frequent outlets under the walls with drain
pipe, which should be connected with
proper drains outside.
- Whatever the nature of the ground in
which a cellar is dug, the whole floor
should be made proof against the passage
Of dampness. This may be done by COW
ering it with concrete three inches or
more in thickness. The concrete should
be made of cement and clean gravel,
mixed in the proportion of one Of the
former to five of the latter, and the whole
be we'll smoothed over with cement and
sand. Or some of the asphaltum or coal
tar concretes may be used, though these
are more or less Objectionable on account
of their disagreeable odor. Brick laid
and grouted' (washed over) with cement
mortar makes good but more expensive
floor. Previous 10 any covering being
put down the earth should be well rammed
to furnish q solid bed for the concrete or
paving. -..
mo regular drains for sewerage should
ever be laid under a cellar-door. No
matter what precautions are taken, there
is always chance that some leakage may
sooner OF later occur, and when it hap
pens it may go on for long time, filling
the earth with offensive and unhealthy
deposits, until the inmates of the house
are seriously affected"

To these three medicines DR.. J. Il. schsnck, Of

Treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
Tbs Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
In the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-

and the lungs begin to heal

stomach ana liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all distractions, relax the

Schenct Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkal o. which it is composed
mixes WITH the food and prevents souring. It as
giets the digestion by toning up the stomach to q

PRUss1NG's White Wine Vinegar, warranted
pure and to preserve pickles. A superb article

ANOTHER case of marrying coachman
is reported. 1t took place in August last,
but has only just got into the papers. The
bride is the daughter of a wealthy resi-
dent of Stamford, handsome, intelligent
and admired by many Of the society beaux
of that aristocratic place. The husband is
young Englishman, who has been groom
and coachman for the young lady's father
about two years unusually intelligent for
his occupation, and liked exceedingly by
all the family, and, it seems, especially by
the daughter. The courtship took place
by daylight, almost exclusively during the
drives to the depot to receive the indulgent
papa. They were married in Stamford,
by a Methodist clergyman, but the parents
were not advised Of the occurrence until a
short time since. Though the marriage
has been made public, the papa, 1t is as
serted, has removed his daughter to New
York, and has concealed her from her
husband so effectually that he is unable to
find her Observation-Disclosures Times.

To Start Cuttings.

Cuttings of many plants can be readily
started in water; and in the early spring,
If you have not greenhouse or hot-bed,
it is the safest plan. 81
Fill small bottles or walls with warm
ish water, remove the lower leaves of the
cuttings Ito be sure to have bud ut the
base) and put them in water; hang up the
vial to the window-sash, tying string
about the mouth for this purpose. If cot
ton wool is put around the mouth of the
vial it will prevent the evaporation of
the water and make the roots sprout more
quickly by keeping up more even tenn
perature. Oleanders can be rooted in this
manner; also heliotropes, verbenas, roses,
fuchsias and all kinds OF bedding out
plants s.4t...Ss ,sigsI
The process is so simple that mere
child can succeed with it. AS soon as the
roots are an inch long the cutting should
be transplanted, taking care to- spread
out the tiny rootlets as they grow in the
water. 1919
Some fill up the bottle with rich earth,
let it dry off for two or three days, and
then break the glass, and pot or plant out
the cutting without disturbing its roots
in the least degree. This is the most GER
tain way of obtaining plants from cut
tings.-Daisy Eyebrigt. 4. a,..-@a ,-,ss.
