THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

He was bashful youth, and was terribly
smitten by young lady of whom he stood
in such awe that he could only be Induced
to declare his passion through his pen. Az
ter laboring through half dozen pages to
convince her Of the depth of his love, he
assures her how long it will last thusly:
"When Polly Ann Pepper quits putting on
airs,
When we use pop-guns to shoot grizzly
bears,
When boys in their teens don't sigh for
moustasche,
And hotel cooks keep hairs out Of hash,
When the stars and stripes wave from the
north pole,
And China digs through and steals all our
coal,
When Vesuvius and Etna pour forth ice
cream
And the Mississippi river flows up stream,
When we lay up icicles for winter wood,
And brickbats are esteemed the best of food,
When we take wedding tours on the comets
tail,
Then, dearest, then my love may fail"
Next day perfumed and giltedge billet
told the lover the following tale;
"When Iceland becomes my winter home,
And dance a jig on st. Peters dome,
When poor man finds where there's money
to lend,
When gossip and scandal come to an end,
When we use the Pacific to extinguish the
sun,
And dive over Niagara just for fun,
When all the world don't sigh for riches,
And Susan Anthony don't cry for breeches,
When Changers and monopolistS form a
loving band,
And the free trade bill becomes law in our
land,
When calico and corsets take the Presiden.
tial seat,
And lawyers forget how to lie, steal and
cheat,
When woman admits she has made mis-.
take,
And politicians amt ready to die fer oul
sake,
When christians practice one.half they
profess,
Then, BOBBY, Fll love your sort, guess"

Prepare for DrOuthS.

The dimunition in milk superinduced
by summer dFouths is one of the farm
er's drawbacks. The check in the
flow of milk is sometimes felt through
out the entire season, even if favorable
weather shall afterwards ensue, for
when COWS once fall off in their milk,
it is hard work to bring them up again
at this advanced stage Of their yearly
milk giving period. Such loss may
be avoided by taking the precaution of
sowing a small field of corn adjoining
the pasture, or in some place where it
will be convenient to feed. If sown at
the usual time Of planting corn, it will
be large enough to use by the middle
of July. Another peice may be sown
later, for feeding in August. This will
be found cheap and good food for mich
cows, on account of its extraordinary
succulence. Sorghum and millet are
also good, but the corn for a soiling
crop Is better. On most soils it -four
ishes during drouth, when everything
else suffers. The cattle can he fed
in the pasture, lane, or yard, at regular
hours. An acre or two will often help
out wonderfully in this way, and that
which is not needed for feeding during
the summer, can be cut and cured for
winter use.-W ID. B., in American

Fast Walkers.
net.

Some may think that special breed
ing to obtain fast walkers is not neces-
sary, and that any sort of horse can
be trained to it. Such doubters have
only to carefully compare the anatomy
of a fast walking horse alongside of
that of slow walker to be convinced
of the necessity of breeding for this
special purE ose, for the difference be.
tween the two in various nice points
will be found considerable in bone,
muscle, tendon and in general struct-
ure. Place a heavy farm or cart horse
alongside of fast trOtter or racer, and
see how very different they are in
makeup and how impossible it would
he to increase the pace of the former,
either IN Il trOt or a run, to that OF the
two latter. The thing is out Of the
question-all the teaching and train
ing could not do it. Now, like, as a
general rule, hegets like, and if you
want fast walkers, in order to obtain
them of natural, easy, reliable gait
they must be bred from fast walk
ing parents.

Baking Powder Biscuits.

One quart of sifted -four three heap.
ing teaspoons baking powder; little
salt; and three scant tablespoons of
cold lard. Stir the baking powder
through the flour, and then sift the
-four again. In measuring the lard
press it into the spoon with your finger
or a knife, and then smooth it off so
the spoon will be barely even full.
Then with one hand mix it through
the flour, and'with spoon stir into i
enough sweet milk OF milk and water
though milk alone is best-to make
a soft dough. 1t should be just stiff
enough to roll and cut, and will make
fifteen biscuits an inch thick. Your
fire should be very hot, as your success
will largely depend on The rapidly in
which they are mixed and baked.
New proscess -four is much nicer than
any other, as coarse -four will never
make perfect baking powder biscuits.
If soda and cream tartar are more con-
venient, use one even teaspoon of soda
and three of cream tartar; sift through
the -four in the some manner as baking
powder, except that the soda must be
made fine with a knife on your mold
ing board before it is measured. Mis-

We have often heard it said that
Captain Merry's land excursions to
northern Iowa, southern Minnesota,
Dakota and northern Nebraska, have
done more to develop those countries
into their present prosperous condition,
than any other agency. The methods
he employs are to make an extremely
low rate for excursionists, and flood
the whole country tributary to the TIE.
nois Central with printed matter, Civ
ing Information about the general char
aoter of the country, its productions,
resources etc. One reason for the
Captains unparalleled success in this bus
mess, may be attributed to the perfect
confidence his company has in his judg-
ment, and the fact that it places in his
hands entire control of the excursion
business of its line. While in his office
few days since, we noticed large
box, containing "Hand Books ofTenn.
Southern Industries" etc. We antici-
pated he was looking after southern
business and on inquiry found that he
was turning his attention toward the
land excursion business to Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana. We were
shown enthusiastic letters from A. j.
McWhirter, commissioner of Tennessee,
w. A. Wade and Robert Gates, edi.
tors of leading papers at Milan and
jackson, Tennessee; and the earnest
manner in which these representatives
of the South are cooperating with the
Captain in furnishing him such infor-
nation as he desires, will certainly re-
suit in giving that country wonder
ful boom. We were surprised to learn
how cheap lands are in western Ten.
nessee, and shall not be surprised to
see an emigration to that section within
the next two years equal to the present
boom to the northwest. We under.
stand the first southern land excursion
will be about November first. Oul
southern brethren are certainly to be
congratulated on having Captain Merry
backed by the Illinois Central, inter
ested in their welfare. and with he
indomitable energy, quick PERCEPTION,

rated is sure to succeed"

$500 Per Annum, in Advance
Agriculture and the Finances.

One of the reasons why business men
and fnancers have the utmost faith in
the financial situation is found in the
vast accretion Of wealth in the United
States from agricultural products in
the past ten years. For instance, tho
wheat productions for ten years aggre-
gate 3,SO0,OOO,0OO bushels. Esti-
mating the population of the United
States to have been on the average for
ten years past 46, 0O0,O 600 and that six
bushels of wheat per annum were con-
sumed by each person, the surplus
would be | 100, 100000 bushels, worth
something more than 81, 100000, 600.
AS matter Of fact there were exported
from the United States in the ten years
from 1873 to 1882 inclusive, 1881
492, 744 bushels, the export value of
which was 81 III 44i l69, The value
of cotton exported approximate that
of wheat. A nation which can pro-
duce surplus of two commodies worth
$4,000, 100000 in ten years, and find
certain demand for it, can hardly be
brought to financial distress. The sit
uation will appear even stronger if it is
noted that for the single calandar year
of 1882 there was exported from the
United States more than $70,000,0O0
of the products of agriculture. These
facts show not only strength of the
country but how entirely it relies OH
the products of the soil to maintain ia
vorable balances. st. Louis Republic

WatermelOns VS.. Hog Cholera.

The Albany News has been furnished
with the following valuable informa-
ton by Mr.. w. r. Talley, the pioneer
of the watermelon industry in Lowndes
county, Ga; Mr.. Talley is strong ad-
yocate of the watermelon, and has ex-
perimented with it in more ways than
one. He says that watermelons, not
only afford excellent pasturage for hogs,
but that they are good preventive OF
cholera. He has never lost hog from
cholera since he has been planting mel.
ons. After all the marketable melons
have been gathered he throws tlrvse
that are left into heaps, taking pains to
break every melon as he casts it into
the heap. In few days they begin to
sour and ferment. and the hogs prefer
them in this state to any other. Each
heap finally becomes a mass of sour
mash, and the hogs will continue to eat
it as long as there is piece Of rind or
Seed left. Melons thrown together in
this way will furnish all the food neces-
sary for two months or more. In fact,
the hogs will not leave them for any
thing else, and will fatten everyday.
Mr.. Talley says that he Is satisfied by
experience that it would pay every far
mer who raises hogs to plant few acres
in watermeIons tor them every year
He pastures his hogs on the remains Of
his melon crop through the months of
August and September, and they get
as fat as they can roll. He does not
attempt to account upon any known
theory or scientific principal, for the
fact that melons are preventive OF
cholera in hogs, hut he says that ex-
perience has satisfied him that the same
is fact nevertheless. At one time
the hogs of neighbOr Of his, separa'
ted from his own only by a cross fence,
nearly all died with the cholera, while
his never showed the slightest symptom
of the disease. His hogs were pastured
on watermelons, while his neighbor'
were not. Finally he gave his neigh
Dor the privilege of hauling as many
melons as he wanted to his hogs, anC
as soon as the melons were given then
the deadly havoc Of the cholera ceased
Mr.. Talley furnished other instance
which seems to clearly establish tn,
fact that the watermelon is not only {
good fattening food for hogs, but /
sure preventive Of cholera.

If those who live upon the barren

ing to the public, and then use the en-
ergy and industry to master the same
in their fields the agriculturist would
see very different appearances to that
which we now see. That whole upper
country would blossom like the rose,
and vast fields of living green would
meet the eye of the beholder, rather
than the poverty stricken plains which
lie between the Alabama and Kentucky
lines. | say prosperity and happiness
would be within the grasp of every one
who would only pursue the course you
are advising.
As the farming community are some
what slow to apply themselves to the
correct mode of producing the staff Of
life, you will have to present again and
again the scientific claims to them, and
in the near future those very theories
will burrow practical ideas into every
farmers life.
Don't understand me to say every
farmer in that locality is Indifferent tt
all that you have written upon the sub
ject, but very large majority in every
community heed not the great lights o
the present day,
There is certainly great neglect OF
the part of every one in saving thai
which is lost every day around thei
own doors, and many who are doinI
much in preserving such fertilizers, ar
caring only for the chat and idll
looking at the rains wash away the yer,
properties they mean to utilize.
Every farmer desiring to gather q
save the home produced fertilizer
must keep them from all rains, there
fore a good shelter is the first require
ment.
The best home fertilizer which ever
farmer can gather is the excretion &
the fowl, and any farmer who ca
have twenty-five hens and good dr.

week and can thereby save thrC
wagon loads of the best guano ever
year, that is, if he will but use Il
proper industry. Of course with evel
peck of the dropings of the chickens
will be expedient to add as much cor
