Sace the Manure.

Even by farmers, who should be the
ones who would realize the value there is
in it, there seems TO be but an Indifferent
effort made TO save the hen manure, for
much of its value is wasted by not taking
care Of it properly or in time,while it is of
zen used on such crops as are not capable
Of utilizing it to the greatest advantage
or profit. Good hen manure, from fowls
which have been literally fed, is worth as
much as guano, for all kinds of crops for
which guano is used, and if farmers and
those who have small garden patches
would only realize this fact, they would
paw more attention to collecting and saw
ing the droppings from their hens more
than they DO. We do not think there Is
much necessity for cleaning the fowl house
out every day, as some do, but clean 1t
out every week, giving it good sanding
every time it is cleaned, so as to keep the
floor clean from droppiugs and make 1t
easier 10 clean out when necessary. Some
sprinkle ashes, sawdust, chips, etc, on the
floors, but We consider sand preierable,tor
It seems to separate, to disintegrater the
droppings better, soon making 1t by lit
tie care in working over, almost as hne
and as easily applied as guauo or any OF
our superphosphates We always put 1t
into barrels as on as 1t Is taken up from
the chicken house floor, and convey 1t to
some dry airy place where We let 1t rc-
main until wanted for use, when We empty
it on a heap and work it over vel before
applying it to the crops.-POulry BulIe-

Don't Smoke Where the Canary Is.

A city gentleman had beautiful canary
bird, which had been kept for some time in
his reading room, as the gentleman was very
fond of hearing tho bird sing. Now, it SO
happened that the canary's cage hung just
over the chair in which this gentleman used
to sit and smoke. AS time wore on il was
noticed that the bird had ceased to sing as
much rs formerly. After while the bird
had ceased to sing altogether. Finally, one
day the bird WAS observed wildly endeavor-
ing to keep on its perch, and laundering
about the cage as though dizzy and very
weak. 1t occurred to the gentleman and his
wife that perhaps the tobacco smoke might
have something to do with the birds strange
condition, and it was taken into another room.
The pare air seemed to have magical effect
In day or two i. was heard singing again,
though in a weak and tremulous voice AT.
ter a week had gone by it began to send forth
notes Of purity and olearness, and at tho end
of q fortnight it was itself again.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER. 9

Ils
The woman was old and ragged and gray;
Aud bent with the chill of the winters day;
nd the street was wet with recent snow.
And the woriau's feet were aged and slow.
She stood ut the crossing and waited long,i
Alone, uncared for, amid the tlirong
OF human beings who pass her by,
Nor Needed the glance OF lcr anxious eye.
Down the street. with laughter and shout,
Glad. in the freedom of school let out,
Came the boys like flock of sheep.
Mailing the suoW piled white and deep.
Past the woman. SO old and gray
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered o helping hand to her.
So meek, SO timid, u fraid to STIR.
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The payest laddie at all the group:
lie paused beside her and Whispered low;
I'm help you across if you wish to CO.
Her aged hand on his strong arm
She placed. and so without hurt or harm.
He guided the trembling feet along.
Proud that his own were firm and strong
Then back again to his friends he won't.
His young heart happy aud well content
she's somebody's mother boys. you know.
For all she's old, md poor, and slow;
And hope Same fellsw willltud .a:hand
To help my mother. yeu understand,
If evor she's poor. and old. and gray:
When her own dear boy is far away."
And somebody's mother" bowed low her head
in her home that ght and the prayer sho said
Was: God DO kind to the neblo boy.
Whs is somebody's son and pride and joy
