Green Manuring,

Prof. Kedzie says in the Rural Spirit
Il believe the easiest and cheapest way
to bring up run down farm is by green
manuring. Suppose your farm is too
poor for clover, and grass makes only a
feeble growth; put on it manurial crop
that will grow, such as peas or rye;
turn this under with your pillow, and
then you can raise something better
keep feeding your soil with everything
your shovel and team can command
ashes, leached ashes, if you can get them
by drawing them within five miles
muck, top soil, mari, anything that will
bring a green mantle over your fields.
Soon you can SET the clover pump to
work pumping up to the surface the in
exhaustible resources of your subsoil."

DEAD AT THIRTY,
BY JOHN f. MCANN

Just for the sake of being called a good fellow
Just Tor the praise of the sycophAnt crowd
Ihht smoked your cigars quatfed your rich wines
and mellow,
You are sleeping to-day meath the sod in your
shroud
Just for the sake of being called cleyer-dash
ing
BY human hogs living outside of pen,
The rain on your cold bed is ceaselessIy splash
ing,
While you should be living-a man among

Just for the sake of being pointed at-looked at
by the false, insincere hypocrtical crew,
Ihat grows on the tollies of weak brains-like
yOurs-fat,
You are as dead as the dreams your boyish soul
knew
You feigned contempt for the eagles of yellow
Ana scattered them broadcast, with bolster
Gus mirth-
Just for the sake OF being called good fellow
You are nothing, to-day, but a boxful Of earth

Difference in Apple Barrels.

A statute of the state New York fixes
the legal size of an apple barrel at not
less than 100 quarts dry measure. This
is considerably less than the standard
size of apple barrels used in other
states, which are of the same capacity
as flour barrels. This discrepancy has
led to much trouble in thu markets
where the York State and Western APP
pies have mel. The apple buyers of
Niagara and Orleans Counties OF
the great fruit counties of the state-re-
Gently met at Lockrort and signed an
agreement that after the 1st of October
next they will not purchase any fruit
in barrels smaller than the standard
size of -four barrels. This has created
much excitement among the farmers of
Western New York.

In Passing Through Some Fertile Valley

Or riding along the banks of some beautiful river
whose shores were rich in evidences ofIuxuriant
vegetation, did you ever in the early morning OF
the evening, notice mist hanging like a pail

surprised to learn that malaria was rife III that
locality? If so, you were wofully ignorant of the
nature and effects of miasma. Against the effect
OF that breeding VapOr there is safety, how

Surprising Yield of Barley.

The Spirit Lake (Ia) Journal says

of barley. In addition to this he fed in
the bundle to his hogs some thirty or
forty bushels. From small patch of
oats which he sowed for feed, and ex-
pected not more than 400 bushels, he
got $40. And SO it goes all over this

SHE CURED HIM.

You are never going to marry PhilO
Mayburnep
1t was a bright bay Widowed room,
with a ruby fire sparkling IN the CRATE,
and a table we'll laden with work, drawn
up beside its shine. And the prettiest.
freshest, most attractive thing to look
at IN the whole scene was the Widow
Glenn herself, stitching industriously at
a strip of cambria ruffling.
She was tall and well proportional,
with hair like brown satin flax, blue
ewes, and complexion all pink and
white, with the crimson bloom glowing
beneath the transparent skin IN a man
ner that ali the cosmetics on earth
might strive vainly to simulate a
woman it did ones heart good to look
at in these days of artificial falsity
Perhaps she might have been thirty,
but she did not look more than twenty
five; for Time, gruff old noncompro-
miser that he is, had dealt very gently
with Josie Glenn
why shouldn't | marry Phllo May
burner" she asked quietly, as she bit
off the end of her thread with teeth
white and even as pearls.
Mrs. Jonesbury grOaned and gasped
He's handsome, isn't he?" asked the
widow.
II hain't nothin' to say agin his
looks" croaked Mrs. Jonesbury.
"And his principles and character are
beyond reproach?"
Nobody denies it, as l know Off
nnwilGngly assented the elder matron.
He is certainly well off" went on
Mrs Glenn.
Yes, he's rich, [ s'pose, but"
But what?"
His temper, Josephine, his temper,
if you must have itp jerked out Mrs.
Jonesbury. He's a. ugly as Cain,
and as fault indin' as old Pharaoh in
the land o Egypt; and all the world
knows that he jist fretted his first wife
into the grave"
He won't fret me into the grave, .
said Josie, sewing diligently.
"How be We gwine to help yourself? ,"
asked Mrs. Jonesbury, with evident in
crsdulity.
"Oh, have ways and means!'
But, Josie, you don't really loue
lim?"
Eyes l do"
With his temper?"
I'm spite of his temper, Mrs. Jones'
bury. | see and esteem the good which
lies unreclaimed beneath that upper
stratum of aceGbity. Keep down the
weeds and the flowers will grow in al

Its dreadful easy talkin,' said Mrs
Jonesbury, with dubious shake of hel
head. "Butye don't know what it is
Josephine Glenn, to be tied for life tt

There it is" said Josie, with blue
sparkle beneath her long brown eye
lashes. Il mean to give him something
to grumble aboutp
: don't understand You"
"Dontyou? Nevertheless"
But at that instant bevy of visitor
was ushered into the apartment, an,
Mrs. Jonesbury was forced to take ne
departure unenlightened as 20 tn
Widow Glenn's matrimonial policy.
SO Philo Mayburne put weddin

finger and surrendered himself legal
into the keeping of that blue eye,
dame, little reckoning of the ordeal i

FARM. GARDEN AND HOME


Life on the Farm.
BY CARRIE f. PETERMAN
We envy the rich old banker,
We envy the millionaire;
There are lots of people we envy,
We can tlnd them everywhere;
We envy the rich mans daughter
Her easy and luxurious life,
But we rarely find any one foolish enough
To envy the farmers wife.
They may talk if they like of the pleasure
And ease that the farmer enjoys
OF the comfort he takes in the knowledge
And strength of his girls and boys,
But I'll wager not one of the poets
That sing of the farmers life
Would accept for the period of half a month
The position of farmers wife.
It's all very wen to be praising
The beauties oflife on the farm.
There are plenty of cranky poets
But they do little good or harm.
For we all of us know, that have tried il,
There is plenty OF toll and strife
OF trouble and care for the farmer
As well as his oyerworked wife.
OF course there are joys and comforts
IntermiXed with the trouble and care.
II there wasn't little pleasure
think twould be hardly fair.
But you'll find, if you care TO observe il
That what have told you is true;
Although there ispleasure in life on the farm
There is plenty of trouble, too.
