Sooth 'twere pleasant life to lead,
With nothing in the world to do,
But just to blow shepherds reed
The silent season through.
And just to drive flock to feed
Sleep, quiet, fond and few.
Pleasant to breathe beside brook,
And count the bubbles-love words
there;
To muse. upon some miustTel's book,
Or watch the haunted air;
To slumbcr in some Ieafy nook
Or idly anywhere.
And then a draught of Natures VIM,
y meal of Summers daintiest fruit;
To take the air with forms divine;
Clouds, silyery, cool and mute;
Descending, if the night be fine,
IT q ar-parachute.
Give me to live with love alone.
And let the world go dine and dress;
For love hath lowly haunts--a stone
Holds something meant to bless.
If LIES Il flower, | choose my own
Ills "LOve is Idleness!'

the tree scraper, taking off all loose,
rough bark and insect nests in the cavi-
ties. Look over the whole of every tree

looked for. One is a gluey patch the
color of the tree bark look sharply for
it and scrape it OF. All moss growing
upon trees should be seraped off, as it is
as injurious 10 trees as itch and scab are
to animals. The scraping is as benef-
cial to old tree as is currycombing to
horses and cattle. 1t prevents bark

branches of trees with a solution of car

water, and portion of the flowers of

for destroying the insects. The best

A correspondent Of the Department of
Agriculture says: Within one mile Of
my house are kept, by ten farmers, 100
cows, 20 horses, 1 yoke of oxen, pair
of yearling steers, about % yearling
heifers, 10 calves, 20 sheep, and 20 year
ling pigs. In other parts of the county
the stock Is largely cows, and butter is
the main produce. All of the hay and
straw is kept in barns. The stables for
cows are made quite warm, and the cows
are tied in stanchions, allowing three
feet TO each COW. Water is usually
brought under ground, in logs or lead
pipes, to trough in the yard. We esti
mate that an average COW requires two
tons of hay to keep her through the
winter. Snow came November 1st, and
we expect to feed until the goth of May.

appointments and Jobs. Judge Nc
Faaden with genial qualities we'll
calculated to command influence,
allowed his political vanity to get
the better of his sounder judgment,
by permitting himself to be pre-
sented in Congress as the representa-.
tive of party triumph over the
ruling majority. Judge Jacobs has
thus far made no such mistake. He
has not identified himself with any
personal or factional intrigues look
ing to Federal office or patronage,
and has done nothing to make him
self offensive as o partisan. That
he has labored with untiring energy
and zeal for the best interests of his
constituents, promptly attended to
every demand made upon his time
and attention and won the confidence
and respect of all with whom he
has come in contact, We have abund-
ant proof. If the result of his la
bors have not thus far been made
manifest to the public, there are
abundant reasons for that which no
man, under the same circumstances
could have avoided. He entered
Congress at time when the inves-
LEGATIONS of the present Administra-
ton and preparations for the cleo
ton of next, in neither of which he
has any vote, were the absorbing
and overwhelming matters under
consideration. All that could be
done he has done with sincere will
and honest purpose, and has thus
been preparing himself for future
usefulness which can only be
thwarted by the mistake of his con-
stituents in insisting upon a change
to some new man who would have
his lesson to learn without promise
of any better results
In regard to the party phase of
this matter we care nothing. No
political party issues have any prac-
tical connection with Territorial poll
tics. We would choose a Delegate
to Congress as we would choose any
other agent or attorney, with spe-
cial reference to his ability to serve
US without regard to his party affilia-
tions or abstract political notions.
