friends. The scheme In which several
Of our most prominent citizens heartily
cooperate is to buy n large bearing vine
yard, having n residence and other neces-
sary buildings, and tender the entire
property to Grant rs loan. IL would
be decided to Mrs. Grant. The vineyard
will he under the direction Of n promi-
nent vine culturist. After deduction
from the receipts OF a sum sufficient to
cover all the expenses OF Grants house
hold, the balance would be applied to
liquidation OF the mortgage. Several
large properties have been visited so as
to select the most suitable. The Central
Pacific railway has rendered special cars
to go to New York and bring the Gem
eral, with his family and physicians. All
the expenses OF the party would be paid.
Colonel Jackson, proprietor OF the Even
ing Post, placed his residence at Napa,
Soda Springs, at the disposal Of Grant
and party, while the necessary formali-
ties In respect to the selection and trans
fer Of the vineyard were being COM
pleted. Grant was made acquainted
with the scheme about three months ago
and requested them TO come and see him
before deciding. A dispatch was, how
ever, received from Grant last night,
stating that 1t would be impossible to
make the trip at present.

Fannie Field, in the Prairie Farmer
says: There are a great many ex-
cellent farmers who are afraid to fix III
decent poultry house, and spend 81
or so for Il trio of pure-bred fowls, for
fear that this poultry business will
soon be oyerdone and kind of die out.
Now you needn't worry bit about
that. Crackers have talked that way
ever since Mrs. Noah insisted on taking
her fayorite Brahma hen into the ark.
l have no doubt but that Noah or some
of the boys told her that after the
shower was over there wouldn't be any
market for eggs and chickens, and be-
sides they didn't believe the old hen
was worth saving anyway. OF course
they wanted the rooster; he could crow!
But Mrs. Noah had her way (women
generally do), and from that day to
this have never heard of single case
where good poultry or fresh eggs had
to be given away because there was no
paving market for them, and | don {
believe any one else has. In fact the de-
mand for poultry products is on the in
crease. and | notice that the prices
keep up 10 paying point. No, my
friends the hen business will not be
oyerdone, or die out while the people
live and eat, so you can just go ahead
and DO all you like towards supplying Q
the world with choice poultry and fires h
eggs, and your profits will be in exac t
proportion to the amount of brains
you put into the business. Because
more than half of the misguided NOR
tails who go into poultry raising with
the expectation of making "S99 a
week, in their own town. fail up and
quit, it does not follow that the bust
ness is oyerdone, anymore than it fol-
lows that farming does not pay because
some men fail to get living by
the tilling of the soil.

blue Sky Somewhere"

Children are eloquent teachers.
Many a lesson which has done our
hearts good have we learned from their
lisping lips TWAS but the other day
another took root in memory. We were
going to a picnic, and, of course, the
little ones had been in ecstasies for
several days. But the appointed morn
ing broke forth with no glad sunshine,
no song of birds, no peal of mirth.
There was every prospect of rain
even Hope hid her face and wept.

child of five with passionate emphasis.
IF it clears of"
'Oh, look out for the blue sky
And so he did, poor little fellow, but
never bit of blue sky gladdened his
eyes.
We'll / don't care. mother" he
SAID, when the tedious day had num-
bered all its hours. If haven't seen
1t know there is blue sky somewhere. >
The next morning there was blue
sky, such as only grects us after o
storm.
There, mother, didn't | tell you
SOP" cried a joyous voice; there is
blue sky!'' Then the little head bowed
for a moment in silent thought.
Mother" exclaimed the child, when
he again looked up, "there must have
been blue sky all day yesterday. though
never saw bit of it, cause you see
there amt no place where it could have
gone to. God only covered it up with
clouds, didn't hep Christian World.
