Economy on the Farm.

The period of low prices through
which farmers have passed during the
past few years have taught many of US
valuable lessons in economy. 1t has
shown us more clearly than we have
ever seen before the importance Of prac-
tleins careful economy in all the affairs
OF life. We mention few points where
some farmers may practice greater econ
omy in their management and the1eby
save what otherwise might suffer loss
or 90 to waste altogether. One of the
most common wastes about a farm is in
relation to the various homemade farm
fertilizers. Badly-cOnstructed and i'm.
proper'y-managed barnyards are a
source of great waste to fertilizers on
some farms. Manure heaps that have
been allowed to heat until they have
become seriously injured by being fire
faMged" are quite common. Great waste
in fertliizing materials may be traced to
our pig pens and hen roots from which
might be gathered with the right care
and management large quantities of val
uabemanure that would cause our fields
to yield better crops and hence more
profit. A compost heap should be made
laafhs vicinity of every house aud gar
den 1t should consist of large box,
holding fifty or more bushels, made with
out bottom. This box should be a
receptacle for grass and weeds taken
from garden and all of the large class of !
Substances which are usually thrown |
rom back doors and door yards. In
bis way a good load of valuable ma
lure may be collected each year which
would otherwise be worse than wasted,
or when kitchen Stops, etc, are thrown
'areiessly about they must needs pol-
ute the air with noxiops odors and
ause much nupleasantness. |

If WISHES WE'RE HORSES.

'If wishes were horses deaiie,
How fast and how far we'd ride
On our beautiful snow.white chargers.
Bounding with life and pride;
Straight as the light of an arrow,
Swift as the fash of a spear,
Wed travel forever and ever
II wishes were horses" dear

Fer they flicker and fade away,
To the daskr halls Of the twilight,
To the flush Of the ncw.boln day.
To the silent stars Of midnight,
A : thcy shine in the darkness clear,
Ned ride Ike the flight of a fancy
If wishes were hor,e- dear.
Through the pillows of western prairics.
And dazzle of Arctic plains,
Through perfume of southern roses,
And mists of the sweet Spring rains:
Abreast Of the cchoing thunder.
With the culver of Lightning ncals

II wishes were horses dear.
And into the lives We cherish,
To brighten their clouded skies.
BRING smiles TO tho sweet, pale faces,
And light to the sadaened eyes;
TO bring them message of comfort
And whisper a word of cheer,
On, how We would gallop and gallop--
IF wishes were horses dear.
