His brow once so fair
Mas now wrinkled with care
And his thoughts to ok sombre direction.

And a look in his eye

And twas easy to guess
There was netting amiSs
In the political pot which was boiling.
He was reading the news,
And it gave him the blues.

First Cleveland, then Blaine.
Then Cleveland again.
Till the truth twas very hard discerning.
Then he laid down the sheet
And hauled Down his feet
From the table where they had been resting,
Saying. boys. am aick-
The news comes too thick
To make it at all interes ting

Then went in for Garfield and Arthur;
And now I've been on the march
And carried a torch

Then farewell to TAT office and salary:
I'll be LETT in the lurch
And fired out of the church,
And have to take a back seat in the gallery"

The FARMER CAN BETTER afford to
raise potatoes for 25 Ct hts bushel than
to grow wheat for 81. Two hundred
bushels per acre is not a large average
yield. This would give $50 per acre. Fiji
teen bushels is an average yield of an acre
Of wheat. The potato crop will require a
little more labor, but with the late i'm
proved machinery the cost of cultivating
and harvesting an acre of potatoes has
been very much reduced.

PROFESSOR ARNOLD STATES that it
costs more to make milk from old cows
than it does from young ones having the
same milk-produclng capacity. The period
of profitable milking does not terminate
at the same age with all COWS alike
Some hold out longer than others, but, as
a rule, the best effects do not reach beyond
the eighth year of the cows age.

ONE OF TIE BEST SUBSTANCES to mix
with phosphate to make it distribute
evenly is wood ashes. There is al excess
of sulphuric acid in most new super
phosphates, and it is this which causes the
thickness which soon compacts the fer
tilizer so that it cannot be distributed.
The alkali of the ashes neutraliZss this
acid. 1t act on the iron drill bottom just
as ashes act on the table knives when the
housewife occurs them. Ashes will clean
out drill better than anything else, pro-
vided they are perfectly dry when put in.
They soon gather moisture by standing.

Points in tho New National Guard Law.
A bill has been introduced in the State
Legislature by Senator Crowell, making ef-
fective the recommendation Of the recent
convention of National Guard officers regard
ing needed changes in the law governing the
military service of the State. Copies of the
bill have been received BY officers Of local
military organizations and show the follow
ing more important changes: About the
most radical is in the makeup OF regimental
organizations, providing that Infantry regim-
ments shall consist Of eight or twelve COM
panies, with Major for each battalion OF four
companies. Company organizations to re-
m,in as at present. The object of this seems
to be that, in districts where there are not
enough companies to organize q maximum
regiment near enough together to allow of
frequently coming together battalions
can be formed, thus giving the advantage of
battslion drill. The State batteries are also
to be given regimental organization. Four
gan batteries are to be given an extra second
uoutcu1ut, WIZ y W Nuicl VI CdlooOuc, hUQ
all batteries have an additional sergeant as
veterinarian. Assistant surgeons of two
gun batteries rank as first heutenants. An
other radical change is the proposed reduc-
ton Of the term of service of enlisted men
from Eve to three years, officers to serve FIVE
years, as at present. Men enlisting now will
bs discharged in three years from date Of
passage Of this bill. The commander of each
company or battery i, to furnish clerks OF
courts, mayors or township trustees with
certified lists Of contributing members exempt
from jury duty etc. County commissioner,
are to furnish each company an arDory and
drill room, instead of city councils, subject to
inspection by designated official Pay Of
officers in service, il to be the same as Of
fices of same grade in the regular army.
Erlisted men receive 81 per day and trans
portation. Horses furnished by enlisted men
in batteries will be paid for at the rate OF 81
per day. In camp officers receive about halt
the pay OF regular army officers and enlisted
men one dollar per day. The allowance for
rations is increased to 40 cents per day.
Camps continue not less then six or more
than ten days.
