Within a nest OF roses,
Half hidden from the sight.
Until a smile discloses
Its loneliness Alright,
Behold the work Of Cupid.
Who wrought it in freak.
The witching little dimple-
The dimple on her cheek
The Sirens lays and chances
To lure the sailor nigh
The perilous romances
OF tabled Lorelei,
And all the spells Of Gree
Are reft of charm and weak,
Beside the dainty dlmple--
The dimple on her cheek
We're these the golden ages
OF knights aud troubadours.
Who brighten olden pages
With Journeys and amours,
What lances would be broken
What silver lutes would speak,
Iii honor of the dimple-

Hon. D. d. Thing OF Maine, whose
guesses are worth more than most Iuen's
assertions, thus writes TO the Homs Farm:
81 wish there was not so much guess
work in farming operations, but guessing
from my own experience, cannot afford
to keep butter COW without some kind
of provender. ! also guess that cannot
afford to grow roots or buy wheat bran
for her. Corn ground in the esr two
parts, and cotton seed meal one part,
three quarts OF the mixture night and
morning, fed dry, has given US the best
results in COW, milk and butter, aud our
customers never find fault. have never
had COW eat the shingles from the barn
or chew bones while upon this feed. Ii
you have no cObs threw in small hand
ful OF ashes once or twice week. Also
give all the salt they will eat. For best
oxen have decided that ~ in corn meal
and 81 in cottonseed will do as much as
four in corn meal alone. The more
experience have in c0ttonseed the better
am pleased with it, while the more
have with wheat bran the less think OF
1t. | know that smarter men than | feed
bran and stick to it, and | often think l
must have been mistaken, and try it
again, bat always with the sans unsatis
factory result. Barley meal gives good
results for beef, pork and butter.

"Come up and see some hogs" said
Mr.. Charles Robe to friend yesterday.
The hogs were piled along Thirty third
street from Mr.. ROhe's place OF business
to the corner of Eighth avenue, over 100
feet distant. Men, women aud small boys
gathered in knots TO look at the piles.
''Iro fully comprehend the size Of these
hogs" said AIR. Robe" iittle'oomparison
is necessary. Thus neat little pleton
mare weighs anywhere from 800 TO 900
pounds. An ordinary roadster weighs
somewhere near thousand. A good
farm horse will go from 1900 to 1900
pounds. OF the 20 hogs piled along
Thirty-third street, the runt weighed s66
pounds"
The weights OF the others were painted
on their rounded jaws, and ran from s73
TO l,098 pounds. Twenty OF them
weighed 10, 64S pounds. -Four of them
measure cord. The breeds are known
rs red and white Jerseys.
"Where did they all come from 20
burlington, N. j." said Mr.. Robe.
"Tney were raised by John Carter. He's
got some mcre like them, only one Is
larger. They dress down about is per
cent. Those hogs had better house to
live in than third of the people OF this
city have. Each hog had separate
stall, that was kept clean and sweet by
constant attention and unlimited fresh
bedding. They we're cared for Just al
fast horses are, They were fed on mes
and milk. AS los they are the heaviest
ever brought to New York, or ever raised
for that matter. The lsrges, one OF tn,
lot is the largest hog on record excep
one not slaughtered yet"
''Did 1t pay Z"
"Yes and no. The qualification o
beating the record is always worth III,
expense. But lighter hogs yield NOR

the President extraordinary powers. In
pursuance OF this law, President Gonz lies
recently issued a stamp decree, thereby
creating the present complication, which
