4 BABY GIRL,

LITTLE ono climbed in my lap last night
a falr little creature with shiny eyes,
That seemed to ha\ taken their radiant light
From the fairest hue OF the summer skies
And down on my shoulder she laid her head,
Ala settled herself with quaint little twirl;
And then looking up in my lace, she said,
NOW, sing me song of baby girl
~Of baby girl!' How my thoughts flew back
To another time and another scene.
FAR. far adown on my memorys track.
With many JOY and sorrow between

Tired out wi b the long days busy whirl,

To follow the fate of her baby girla
What is this, little one9 All, her head droops
And her fingers have loosened their clinging
clasp,
For the innocent slumber but children know
Holds her baby bra ain in its soothing grasp.
And ! gather more closely her form to my

And Iienderly toy with each clust ring curl.
Wh' n our labor Is done. may our final rest
BE As sweet as the sleep of my baby girl!

Il LIES LOVE.

LOVED him in my dawning years
Far years, divinely dim:
My blilhest smiles, my saddeSt tears,
Were evermore for him.
My dreaming when the day began,
The latest thought had,
Was still some loving plan
To make my darling glad.
They deemed he lacked the conQuering wiles
That other children wear;
To me his face. in frOwns or smiles,
Was never aught but fair.
They said that self was all his goal,
He knew no thoCglt beyond;
To me. | know. no living soul
Was half so true and fond.
All. many love was mine ere now,
In LIES capric Gus May.
And many lightly-whispered VOW
The b-eeZes bore away.
Yet, looking back on friends betrayed,
And sweethearts left to Tue,
My soul can say. In shine or shade,
At least he found me true"
In loves eclipse. in friendships dearth,
In grief and feud and bale.
My heart has learnt the sacred worth
Of one that cannot fail;
And come what must and come what may,
Nor power, nor Praise nor lf,sss<szsrsuxsss
Shall lure my Faith from thee to stray,
My sweet, NJ own-M9esleraN .sSxa5FSy

Turning . Horn.

SEVERAL devices have been proposed
for the purpose of remedying irTegulari-
ties in the symmetrical growth of cows
horns. Thinning the horn on the oppo-
site side to the direction in which it is
desired to have it bend, by careful rasp-
ing, is recommended by some; by 9th
ers, weights of iron, or lead have been
tied or fastened to horns with an up
ward tendency of growth. Again, it
has been recommended to affix to the
end of the straight or untoward horn,
and about one-third from the root of
the other horn, thin, iron rod, to the
free ends of both, which do not quite
meet midways between the two horns.
screw (wood-saw fashiOn), is applied
by means of which, by degrees; the dis
lance between the two horns may be
shortened. In the case of both horns
being straight, the rods are affixed to
the ends of both. BY rasping the horn
on the outside, and frequently oiling it,
the bending may be facilitated. The
rasping should begin about four inches,
or about one.third the s.:length of the
horn, from its base, and need not ex-
tend more than two inches, extending
halfway around. The horn is not very
thick, and great care should be exer-
cised in. the rasping, so as not togo
through the horn; for, if blood is
drawn the horn is apt to be spoiled be-
yond remedy. The shortening of the
distance between the ends of the horns
by means of this screw device must be
done carefully by attending to it once
or twice.a yeeky .Sqficiept gnduaffy

other farmers and property-owners,
and in a year he receives his full equiv
alent. But if the public claims the right
to use the highway rs 'pig-pen or COW
pasture, or for any other purpose than
for travel and the necessary driving of
stock, how, can the individual farmer
get bis pay for this use of his land?
Take another aspect:-In general, the
highways are now fenced. Most of the
fences are now made SO a. 10 harbor
huge snow-drifts in windy stretches of
land, that often completely block the
highway. Has the public right to OBJ
ject to this? Has it right, as one
correspondent, himself farmer, sug-
gests, to compel landowners to build
wire fences that will not harbor drifts?
or, to give him the right, as another
correspondent suggests, and as the New
York law actually does, tolay his road
fences fiat each fall, rebuild In spring.
and commute, to the amount of the
actual cost, for his next years road
tax? Has it right to compel thisP
But thus to level and rebuild stone-wall
or board fence would cost, in labor and
damage, ten times the annual road-tax,
and to level hedge is to destroy it.
Take still another aspect:-Suppose
all road fences removed, as our CORE
spondent suggests, and the ground
cultivated on each side to the ditch that
marks the line of actual necessary
travel: can law keep the travelling public
within those lines in muddy weather, or
will men ride and drive on the less
muddy turf of the adjoining meadowsp
Or, in summer, can cattle be driven on
the highway without rushing through
the grain fields and meadows that tempt
them on either sidep
These and similar questions are doubt
less more easily asked than answered.
One thing is certain: the burden of
roadside fencing, and the waste of I'M
titled, uncropped roadside land, are
immense. They E6ount to millions of
dollars each year. Has the law a right
to perpetuate this burden and this
waste, unless both are absolutely me-

POisOns in Farmers Hands.

THE great increase during the past
thirty years in the variety and number

Paris green for destroying the potato
