IN JUNE,
BY CHARLES R. WILLIAMS.

The brightness of June weather!-0nd the skies
Are dreamy in their limpid depths ofblue,
On which light clouds like fecks of foam arise
And drift away beyond the world of view.
The gladness of June weather!-&nd the birds
With new JOY filed are thrilling the wide earth
With music which was never set to words
The madness and the merriment of mirth.
With what wild glee they revel through the wood,
While the blithe June breathes through them
quickening life;
And all the world their joy songs say is good,
And all the world with rapturous joy is rife
The glory of June weather.-an the flowers
Deck the bright earth as for her marriage forth
Fresh breathes their fragrance down the dangerous
The warm wild south has wooed and Won the
North
Flowers everywhere!-beneath Us on the lawn
They sparkle like dim stars amid the grass,
Agleam with glittering dew beams when the dawn
Doth up the East in rosy radiance pass.
Flowers over US in blossonl-burdened trees
That rise like Ieeey clouds with tints Of rose
And drop in petal-ha6es whene're the breeze
With sudden gust and tremble through them blows
Round us rose bushes laden, vines with flowers
ofmyriad shapes, Of myriad sweet perfumes
Festoon the fences, Chamber wild DER bowers,
And strewed the pathways with their scattered
blooms
The nlIlness fJune weather gracious skies
Glad birds flowers blooming-all the wide round
earth
o'erfilled with gladness;-wonder not my eyes
Filled with glad tears-my heart 50 aches with
mirthi
o June! sweet June my life with thy grace I'll!
Not at this season only let me feel
These rapturous pulses through the whole year stu
Thy glow and gladness in my heart reveal!

A writer in the Practical Farmer gives
the results of experience in saving flower
seeds No general rule can be laid down,
each sort requiring special treatment.
Pansy seeds must be saved while they are
quite greea, as the pods burst as soon as
they turn yellow, throwing the seed several
feet. Plants Of phlox are pulled up when
a fair amount of the seed is ripe, and
spread on large sheets in warm garnet.
On a small scale hand-picking may do.
Petunia and Portulaea are treated in the
same way, except that the portulaea plants
are cut off, and they grow up again for
another crop. Yerbenas must be hand
picked twice week for several weeks.

A New METHOD or UTILIzING LIME
"A new method of utilizing lime stone j:
rapidly coming into favor. Instead Of
burning it into lime, as has been the Gus
tom heretofore when wanted for fertilizine
purposes, it is crushed and ground into
powder and then sown upon the land after
the manner of gypsum. It is claimed in
this form it contains greater fertilizing pro
perties than when burned In lime.

All soils are improved by mixing. The
physical properties of the soil have an i'm
portant influence upon its average fertility
The admixture Of pure sand with clay soil
produces an alteration which is often ben
efcial, and which is almost wholly mechan-
ical. The sand opens the pores Of the clay
and makes it more permeable to the air.

To allow COW to fall off in flesh while
giving milk for butter making is a serious
mistake, which can be easily detected by
the expert when the butter is placed upon
tho table.

Blow Your Horn.

Ben Wilde, in Aurora News to his little hoy.
My boy, blow your own horn. Rise
above the thing mistaken for modssty,
which defrauds the world of something
good. If you have a musical horn, blow
it. IF you don't it may not be blown, and
the world will lose so much good music.
But make pretty sure that you have some
thing to say before you yell, "Mr. Chair
mani" You may get the floor and make q
fool of yourself. Don't blow your horn for
the mere purpose of making a noise.
Music is noise, but noise is not necessarily
music.
Don't attract attention to yourself until
you have something about you that will bear
scrutiny. Don't flash your paste pin before
the eyes of diamond broker. If you have
a gem it will do very well to let him examine
it.
Don't wear cloud" necktie with a dirty
collar. The necktie will serve only to at
tract attention to the collar.
Keep in the crowd until you have some
thing in your mind that will maze you shine
on the platform. Then don't be afraid to
step to the front.
Your object should be to do the human
family good If you think you possess an
idea that will help your fellows, stand out
where they can all hear it and yell it to
them.
Little men will say you lack modesty.
Great men will say you are doing good. If
you prefer the good opinion of the great
men, blow your horn whenever you have
learned new and righteous tune.
Nobody respects miser who boards his
money. Why should respect be due to the
scholar who boards his lore? And what sat-
isfaction can be derived from examining
ones self with knowledge unless it be for
the purpose of disseminating it among those
| who have it not?
It is by communion of ideas that the
world is caused to progress. If you learn
something that nobo ~ else knows, you will
retard the progress of TIE worlds erudition
in proportion as you keep your secret.
Irejoice that it is the nature of most men
to be glad of opportunity to tell the world
something it never knew before. It is
proof of an excellent unselfshness.
Dig for knowledge as you would for gold,
my boy, and when you get q nugget OF
either, put it in circulation. -.

The eu.yn.s Railroad.

San Francisco, Sept. ga Tucson
dispatch says: Don Leopoldo Zamora,
inspecting engineer Of the public works
of Mexico, arrived here last night from
Boston, where he has been interviewing
Preident McKerson and the directors Of
the Guaymas railroad. A Star reporter
called upon him and learned that COM
plants have been made by several par
ties that the railroad company had
abandoned the contract it had made
with the government of Mexico to con-
struct its line from Guaymas to Her
mosillo and thence to FL Paso, and that
it had abandoned the Ell Paso route
from Hermosillo and was building via
Magdalena short route to connect
with the Southern Pacific.
Construction was at once ordered
stopped north Of Hermosillo. and he was
sent to inquire into the matter, and
upon inquiry with Mr.. McKerson and
the directors had learned that the COM
pany had not abandoned Ell Paso, but
found the Sonora river route almost Inn
practicable on account of the cations
and heavy grades; that they were build
ing the Magdalena route with view of
constructing the shortest practicable
road to the Southern Pacific, which
would enable them to carry their ma
terial and open up business at once.
