Be Generous With Salt.

Three classes of farmers deal out salt
to stock very sparingly: Those who
come from foreign countries where it is
scarce, or where the government collects
q revenue on it; those who were brought
up near the seashore, where the soil and
air always contain traces of salt, and those
who think anything purchased with mon
ey is too valuable to be fed to stock All
intelligent persons are aware OF the
fact that salt is quite as essential to the
well-being of animals as food and water.
and that it is as unwise to stint the sup
ply of one as the other. It is not too
much to say that stock Of all kinds should
have q supply of salt within reach at all
times. Giving them salt once a week is
not sufficient. If only dealt out at the
close Of long intervals they will eat too
much and suffer in consequence, while
they will undergo discomfort before
they have an opportunity to again par
take of it. z s..e,> -

FADING.

watched in the glad sun-tidc
When buds were bursting fourth,
The girl who should have been my bride
The fairest gem of earth
She faded like the tender leaves
When the frosty leaves are north.
j watched her when the golden haze
Lay soft on bank and brae,
And in the summer of her days
She faded fast away.
The roses died from out her cheeks
Like sunsets flush in May.
At last, when Autumn's withered leaves
Lay sere upon the ground
The swallows long had left the caves,
And night was closing round
Her soul departed ere the dawn,
And her angel home she found.
When earth lay meath the early snow,
stood beside her grave;
The funeral chant rang sad and slow
Throughout the ancient nave
l mourned, but owned that God was
just,
When he took back the soul he gave!

Raising Rye With Corn.

Although the practice of sowing rye
among corn for the purpose of affording
winter pasturage has increased during
the past few years, it is by no means as
general as it should be. One half
bushel of rye sowed at this season of the
year to an acre of land on which crop
of corn is growing, will produce very
large amount of feed of the most excel
lent quality. 1t may be covered with a
harrow or a common cultivator. Besides
covering the seed the harrow or cultiva-
tor will destroy many weeds that would
otherwise mature to seed. IF stock have
the run of the field for the purpose of
eating up the corn stalks, they will find
a very desirable change of food in the
green rye. If the season is favorable
for its growth, the rye will be of great val
ue to turn under in the spring for manure.
Being Of recent growth, it will decay al
most as quickly as stable manure after it
is tuned under by the plow.

FEMININITIES.

A miss is not only as good as mile,
but one lap better.
"You are my precious pearl" he said,
as he drew her to his manly breast. "Oh,
John," she sighed, "and you are my oys-
ter.'
The young lady whose lover wrote her
that he was doing duty on the tented
field, afterwards ascertained that instead
of fighting Indians, he drove team for
circus.
The one unsatisfactory thing about
heaven to some women will be when
they get into their angel clothes, they
can't jaw the dress-maker about the fit,
and say she kept all the scraps.
Nine out of ten groups of young ladies
one overhears in talking on the streets or
elsewhere, will be tonnd to use the pro-
noun he, his OR him, just about two hun
dred times oftener than anv other words.
That was pretty compliment paid by
a member Of the Chinese embassy the
other night to a young lady. Gazing
down at her really pretty shoes the ORR
entail remarked: "I love your English
large teets."
The dresses of unbleached India mus
lin, costing about 81 yard, worn by the
ladies at the summer resorts, are the bret
test Of the year. Several ladies there
have appeared in unbleached muslin
costing but six cents yard.
A great many Of our modern Young
ladies resemble the lilies of the field
they toll not, neither do they spin! But
they spend pile of money and lay
around the house and let their mothers
do the work. That's the kind of holly
hooks they are!
A young man never feels so much at a
loss what to do as when he takes his
girl to picnic, big ant crawls down
her back and begins to bite her just above
the belt, and she begins to scream for
help.
1t is said that Lucy Stone feels some
what grieved because no one has named
trotting horse or brand of cigars after
her. It looks as if the work Of twenty
long years had been entirely thrown
away.
A woman who will carry 20-pound
baby around all day in broiling sun,
and never mutter word Of complaint
will make enough noise getting an s.
pound lump of ice from the front steps
into the kitchen to run freight train 40
miles an hour.

BE A WOMAN.
Oft I've heard a gentle mother
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,


AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him to be a man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite q
Points she out the other duty,
"Strive my dear to be lady"
What's lady? Is it something
Made of silks and hoops and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rings and chairs?
is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If it's this to be lady
'Tis not this to be woman
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher, far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If you, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman
Yes, woman! brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty
Where the mind and soul and body
Blend, to work out life's great duty.
Be woman! naught is hi CHER
On the gilded crest of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be a woman, on to duty!
Raise the world from all that's low;
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow.
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions giddy lady
Be brave, whole-souled, true woman.

in our day of prosperity TO so provide that,
when we or our descendants shall be com.
PEELED by adverse fortune to join the great
army of the poor, their condition shall not
be one of hopeless despair?
In conclusion, it may not be improper
A, TO call the attention of the politicians to thus
subject. In Mississippi, the whites are near
! ly all Democrats. Whatever else may have
been included in the mission of the Demo
cratic party, it is certain that the great
mass Of the people who attached themselves
to it in the beginning, did SO from con-
yictlon that it was the poor mans friend
This friendship must be exhibited, not in
| mere professions of love for the poor, not
in mere recognition of ther manhood only
by the electioneering Of the politician and
of1ice-seeker, but by a real and genuine
sympathy for them, ana i'll deyising Of
means necessary to their advancement
Where there is will there is way. If our
politicians mean to carry out tho true mis-
sion of the Democratlc party they must not
devote their whole time TO vaccinations for
the successful planning of Presidential
campaign, or in bestowing office on this or
that fayorite. They must enter heartily
into the consideration and discussion of
measures perfectly devised and adjusted to
advance the true interests of the people Of
all classes and conditions in life.

expect to remain hero some time.

Kansas City is undoubtedly increasing more
in population and improvements than any
city in tire west, and bids fair to become
Me city of the wost. Everything is on
the 70 out here, and people think only of
how TO mako money and how to keep it.
Economy is one thing which very few of
our southern boys have learned.
The rapidlty with which the west is fill
ingupwith people, is sbeyond comprehension
to Que who has not seen it; hundreds of
persons arrive here daily, some to remain
and others bound for the State of Kansas;
which instead of remaining the wild, un-
settled country which it has heretofore been,
is fast becoming one of the most thickly
settled States in the Union.
If few more of our jackson boys would
come west and spend few years among
tho hustle and stir Of every day life and .
profit by it, they might make better men.

concerning my expected arrival home
