FARM. GARDEN AND HOME.
The Farmers DRAM

The farmer tips back IN the old oaken chair
His hand on his head and his feet on the floor;
And he dreams OF the days when his prospects
fair,
And he worked all the day in a grocery store
And liberties never once took with the till;
When he wore patent-leathers that ruined his
toes,
When he called on Jemima, just over the hill
He thinks OF the days when they roamed through
the glade,
And heard the shrillnotes of thegay whippoor-
will;
When they dreamed of "a neat little cot in the
shade
OF a button-ball hanging just over the rill
He looks at these pictures through spectaees
bent,
Just the same as she looked i'll the days when he
The wicket across for the tra-la-la kiss
He thinks of the years that he's worked over
alled
With shovel, rake, harrow, plow, bean-pole
and hoe;
And, oh! how he wishes she'd only said MOP
For then might his life be of idleness full,
He could loaf through the daytime sunshny
and bright,
And not have TO larrupan old brindle bull
And jerk up the turnips from morning till night
But what is the use ofhis 'bahl" and his ''bish )"
And what is the use of his sadness and woe,
And what is the use of the empty old wish
That he'd eourted girl who could only say
"NO2" Puck

Hemp Growing.

Growing hemp requires a soil sufli-
GENTLY fertile for crop OF grain. A
grass or clover sod turned over and
well rotted is excellent. The seed is
usually sOwn broadcast, narrowed in
lightly, and the surface afterward
rolled. Some preferto SOW in drills, as
the crop is more easily cut. -Four or
six pecks of seed are required to the
acre; it should be of the growth of the
previous yeaI, heavy and bright IN
color. The earlier the sowing can be
done, and the plant escape severe
frosts, the better. The crop, while
growing, needs no cultivation, and is
mature in three or three and a half
months from sowing. Cutting is done
with cradles made for the purpose,
and heavier than those for grain; but
if the stalks are over seven feet high a
heavy knife or hook, somewhat Ike
those used for cutting corn, is pre-
ferred. The stalks are laid on the
ground with the butts even, and in
favorable weather will be sufficiently
cured in three days to be made into
bundles of convenient size, and PLACED
in the stacks ready for dew-rotting or
water-rOtting,

She sees the deep gloom OF the forest pf0 ore heE,

a Secret of Success,

Why is it that women suffer so
much from nervous irritation? Many
women, before they have lost the
bloom of girlhood, display decided
wrinkles between the eyes, and have a
harrassed, worried look that is dis
tressing to the observer. Women CT
the average condition in life are the
greatest sufferers from nervous irrita-
ton, and it is largely due to them
selves.
In beginning their married life theJ
make plans for perfect housekeeping,
according to their individual stand
ards. As soon as they begin their new
life of responsibility they begin in a
greater or less degree to worry be
they are not succeeding as they had
determined.
The servant will not prove amena.
BILE to all the rules and regulations OF
the young hOusekeeper; failures will
occur in the experimental trials OF the
newest rules in cookery; the house
hold machinery will not run smoothly;
and the worry begins, because there
has been no margin left in the house
wife's plans for Interruptions ana dis
appointments. Women do not take
up the business of housekeeping as
their husbands do the business of
notwithstanding a certain
amount of disappointment, defeat and
successful rivalry, and adapting them
selves to them when they come, and
accepting them as a part of their bust
ness life.
Then, too, the indulgent husbands
dre somewhat to blame for this state
of affairs. When they are met by the
worried face, and forced to listen TO
the tale Of woe, they are very apt to
agree with the narrator, that never
woman suffered like this woman, and
frequently help to develop a martyr
who suffers from an imaginary cause.
Many women refuse to adapt them
selves to the conditions surrounding
them. Carry your housekeeping cares,
and refuse to be pushed and showed
by them; when making plans, leave a
margin for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and mishaps, and when these come
you will find yourself meeting them
calmly and making plans to mitigate
the results. The result of successful
living, in any sphere, is the power to
adapt ones self to the circumstances
and conditions that surround and
meet us at every step.-ChristiaH
Union.

Rules for Dairymen.

The best managed butter and cheese
factories have printed rules which are
distributed among patrons for their
guidance IN making pure, sound milk,
and delivering it in perfect condit on
at the factory. The following rules
are in force at Readfeld, Me, cheese
factory. They should be posted in
every stable and dairy room in the
country -
Only healthy cows produce good
milk; they must never be heated. or in
any way mlsused or unduIy excited
Regularity III the time OF milking,
and by the same person, secures the
best results. Insist on clearly habits
in mixers. Filthiness is disastrousto
both producer and consumer.
Do not feed your cows upon whey.
turnlps or cabbage; they are always
injurious to milk
Onlytin pals are suitable to be used
by dairymen. All milk should be
carefully strained; doing so from the
pail, through a wire strainer. is not
sufficient; it should be strained through
cloth also, otherwise the whole will be
injured.
There cannot be toogreat care as to
cleanliness in handling milk. All pals
and cans should be kept absolutely
clean. This is the best secured as fol.
lows: The pals and cans, when taken
new from the shop, must be carefully
washed with soap and water. In every
instance the pals should receive a
thorough scalding with boiling water,
and once a week they should be secured
with salt
Covers should be left off cans until
ready to start for the factory, The
milk should be stirred in the cans with
a dipper to expose 1t to the air, and re.
move all animal heat Cans OF milk
should be set upon theround or in cold
water and should always be protected
from the rain. All milk should be de
livered at the factory before O'Clock

lures should be carefully avoided. This

4 REIGN OF TERROR.
The Bitter and Bloody Feud That Grew
Out of AN Election Quarrel.

\ special from Morehead, Ky, re-
ports that Rowan County is expert
encing a reign of lawlessness. Aquar-
rel which arose last August over the
election of sheriff, has grown into
most bitter feud, which has already
caused several tragedies. The trouble
being political one, one side or the
other has been espoused by nearly
every citizen of the county. A short
time ago deputy sheriff was killed, the
county attorney waylaid and wound
ed, and other authorities have fled
the country. Since the murder OF
Deputy Sheriff Baumgardner, there has
been no county government. The
county Judge, sheriff. marshal and dep
uties have all gone. The county clerk,
Maj. Casey, a non-combatant and
non-partisan, is the only one left and
he has received two or three warnings
that he had better 60. Armed bands
OF men patrol the country and make
regular visits to Morehead At any
moment a collision is looked for, and
scenes of the Breathitt war may be
reenacted. The trouble comes from
the election of sheriff John Martin,
the Republican candidate, received a
majority of eleven votes There was
some trouble over this between him
and man named Tolliver. A short
while ago Tolliver met an old man
named Martin, relative of the sher-
if, in a saloon. Tolliver shot him.
Afterward witnesses swore that the
killing was done by the sheriff, and the
trouble kept on growing till Baum
gardner was shot.

Skim MIX for Butter.

1t is considered a good return for a
common COW, giving 1000 pounds of
milk in a year, says Prof. Arnold, to
increase her butter yield forty pounds
by having her own milk fed back to
her; in other words, 100 pounds of
skim milk might be expected to add
one pound to her yield of butter.
With equal skill interchangeable to'cows
or to pigs, one might reasonably an
ticipate six times as many pounds of
pig pork from 100 pounds of milk as
he would get of butter by feeding the
same to his COWS. Which would be
the more profitable would depend on
what the pork and butter would
bring.
