Mans HONG Kingdom.


The dearest and purest pleasures are
those which have their rise in the family.
No man is more proudly happy than be
who carries over the consciousness that
there is within his reach one supreme spot
where he is the most welcome guest Of all
the world; whose daily coming is festival
event in his little kingdom, and whose 60
ing forth is the withdrawal OF home Of the
sunshine that warns the living blossoms
rooted n that geneial soil. The contem-
plation Of such kingdom stirs within the
soul emotions that respond to no other
bidding. Never to have known the thrill
Of those emotions is to have lived an in
complete life. Very deep down in every
mans heart is one note that remains forever
mute until the Child S voice crying "Fathcr"
sets il in vibration. The strongest link Of
human love is forged for no woman who
does not bend in strange and wonderful
Joy over the babe that has come to her
through doubt and pang. These-moiher,
father, babe-are the true and holy triune
of earth; the materialized soul of Love, the
all gracious Spirit of Home. Let us offer
sacrifice TO them and bow unto them in
adoration.-"Sienor Max, in Detroit Free
Press.

To Destroy Cotton Worm.

Brasos PTot.l
Mr.. J. X. Fem, of Arcola,
Fort Bend county recently gave
Capt. Fowlkes the following in
formatiin about how to destroy
cotton worms:
Mix one Pint OF Paris Green
with thirty pints of -four and
one pound Of rosin. Whenthe
worms make their appearance.
sprinkle this mixture on the
cotton plants every morning,
commencing about 10 o'clock.
The use of it IS not dangerous,
but Mr.. Fem recommends a
good bath after handling it, to
prevent injurious effects to the
person. He says he used it last
season with entire satisfaction;
says he made on oyster creek,
a bale Of cotton to the acre,
while his neighbors who did not
destroy the worms made only
about one-eighth of a crop.
We learn from Captain Fowlkes
that Mr.. Fem is perfectly re-
liable. We suggest that the
farmers ofthis county preserve
the recipe. and give it a trial
whenever the worm makes his
appearance.

SOUND PHILOSOPHY.
Pale-Face Politicians Reprofed by
Creek Indian.

MuscOEce Il. L j lnulun JOulnal-
Are the American people nation of
frauds! Is it venial sin to count out or
count in ruler of this great nation as the
whim suggests, or the party may desire?
10 pack primary meetings and conventions
in the interest OF this candidate or the other!
To the careful student Of current history the
pages seem mared with prominent attempts
and even acts of fraud, in the efforts Of
partiSans TO secure personal or party
triumph for their candidate, and the worst
Of all this seems to be the fact, that these
frauds and attempted wrongs, while ad-
mitted to be wrong, are yet winked at, apol-
ogized for and finally accepted by all.
Whereas the example Of the sturdy political
honesty OF the fathers? Has it been lost !.
Where the moral sentiment Of the people
that shall coerce the leaders and managers
OF political affairs 10 be and remain as truly
honest in all politicals matters as they are
in private affsirs of life? To permit no CHI
canery in the management of the official
duties of the government that would be
frowned down if committed by them as an
individual in the home community. II is
fearful thing 10 act in such 4 manner in 4
public body as TO demoralize the private
citizen of the nation. Only by a high STAN
dard OF correct morality in a people can n
nation continue to exist and prosper.
When this standard of honesty is lowered
among the people, corruption is ineyitable.
The history of the causes of the rise and
fall OF the nations OF earth should be taught
in our schools, and thepeople should insist
upon honor ond honesty, as an essential
and absolute requisite of those who seek
their SURFACES.

Patent Chickens.
Rural World.1

Rural World.1
The business Of chicken or
poultry raising is likely to be
completely. revolutionized with
in the next year or two, A
chicken factory of the most sue
cessful pattern is now in exis-
tence in St. Louis county. The
gentlemen conducting it have
been quietly at work for the
past few years, perfecting a self
regulating lamp which furnishes
the heat for the incubating pro-
cess. In a short time the pat
ent applied for viii be furnished,
and then the public will be in
vited out to witness how 5000
chickens or more (all orphans)
can be turned out every six
weeks, all the year round.
Spring chickens will no longer
be a costly luxury at any time
of the year. There is such an
establishment now in successful
operation in a New Jersey town,
not far from New York, and the
operators say they can't turn
out chickens enough to supply
the demand, The New Jersey
establishment lacks, however,
the self-regulating heating ap.
paratus invented by the St. Lou
is boys-a matter that saves a
good deal oflabor and expense,
and a valuable acquisition in
connection with the business.

Why everybody knows, Are
you sure ofthat1 Yes, it is this
common article grown in the
field which we feed to stock and
grind into meal. And yet that
is not corn. 1t is maize-Indi-

lea. Corn is the comprehensive
name of every grain used as
food for man or beast. This is
what the books, the big diction-
aries and learned encyclopedias
tell US. but as the people in this
country outside of classic Bos-
ton are a notch or two higher
in authority than books howev-
er huge in size and title, they
will be mighty apt to continue
saying corn, oats, rye, barley
and wheat, and will perfectly
understand each other when do

Kettles and stew-pans should
be washed outside as we'll as in

Sage leaves in small quanti-
ty make an excellent addition
to tea.
An oyster shell put into a tea
kettle will prevent it from be-
coming furred.
Soap-suds and soapy water
supply the manure for garden
soils.
Lemon juice will allay the ir-
ritation caused by the bites of
gnats and flies.
Cold potatoes mashed with
peas, make an excellent and
light pea pudding.
Honey and castor oil mixed
are excellent for asthmatic. A
teaspoonful night and morning.
The white of one egg beaten
to a froth with a little butter, is
a good substitute for cream in
coffee.
Clothes-lines should be well
wiped and taken down after
each wash. Gutta percha lines
are the best.
Starch is said to be explosive.
1t causes explosions in the

fathers are generally called up
on for an advance.

HAY.
Rural New Yorker.l

Rural New Yorker.
The much that has been said and
written about the value of early
cut hay has unquestionably had
its influence upon the practice
Of many, ifnot all farmers. The
current of opinion has been
changed, and there are few who
do not now hold, atleast in the
ory, that early-cut hay is best,
though some yet doubt its being,
on the whole, the most profita-
BILE.
But no great step in advance
can be taken in regard to a sim
gle matter without its beng re-
vealed that many other things
must be made to keep step with
it, in order that the expected
benefit may be realized. The
moving machines called for
smooth fields. The importation
Of improved domestic animals
necesitated better housing, feed
ing and care. The new meth
DDS of setting milk for cream
cannot yield their full advantage
without more care in milking
and in making butter. And SO
it is with regard to the early
cutting of hay; before it can be
put in practice with the surety
OF rcaping all its advantages,
we must abandon some oldideas
and take in some new ones.
We must cease TO look upon the
grass crop as the free gift of ma
ture, and begin to regard it as
cultivated crop; one not to be
stolen from the ground after a
full yield Of grain, but to be
made a primary object in our
culture, the same as corn or po-
tatoes.
The proper complement and
conclusion of the theory of early
cutting are that we must have
two, and sometimes three full
crops of grass from the same
land in one season. We can
only get them by manuting and
seeding for them.
There are farmers who say
that June grass is worth nothing
Tor hay; and We have seen far
mers cutting it at the rate of
two tons to the acre the first
week in June. 1t would be a
good thing to bring these two
kinds of farmers club, and have
the latter tell the former how it
was done. When we have
learned how to grow four tons
Of hay IN two or three cuttings,
we shall all be early cutters,
and late cutters, too.
In the good old times, before
mowing-machines, tedders and
horse-rakes it would have been
cruelty to talk about two or
three hayings in one summer.
But now that the handling of
grass is reduced to so small an
item, there is no difficulty about
it, if we can raise the grass.
Can we do it3 1t is all "hum-
bug" to talk about carrying a
herd OF twenty-five cows on. the
feed of a fifty acre farm We
know a practical dairyman who
keeps that number on twenty
five acres, but he soils instead
of pasturing them. There are
thousands of farms better suit
ed to dairying than his, yet we
will not frighten our readers by
proposing to them to stock up
at the same rate. But VIC do
think any of US might be smart
enough to make fifty acres car
ry a herd of twenty-five, if We
would only make study of the
subject. 1t will take manure,
to do it, and knowledge and
skill as well.

If happily high sense of honor were the

while one Of the most common practices OF

SowINe RYEN CoRN.-If far
Elers will sow one-half bushel of
winter rye to the acre in their
corn, and pillow it in the last
time, it viii not only have a ten
dency to choke out the weeds
that start up afterward, but
there will be no danger of dry
nurrain among cattle from eat
ing too freely Of dry stalks, as
the rye will remain green
through the winter, and will be
eaten by stock in preference to
the corn fodder. 1t makes a
desirable feed for all kinds of
stock, and aids materially in the
quality and quantity of milk
produced, besides proving a
saving of from one to two tons
of hay for every acre sown; and
last, but not least, it affords a
green crop to pillow under in the
spring, which will renew and
enrich the land.-Rural World,

birth, deliverance, a new creation to our

why do girls eIope ?" is the
very interesting query put by a
contemporary. Well, there are
various reasons, the principal
ones being that the girls are dis
pleased with the way their
mothers do housework, and
some girls have an idea that
they can support husbands.
And a good many of them have
to do it, too.
