AOR THE FARM AND HOME.
The Steady Milker.
OF all the good qualities a COW a
nave, probably the very best is that of
persistency IN milking. It Is amazing
how much more water the steady little
stream will supply than the2temporary
freshet. If !ot will compare the
large mixers when fresh with the
small mixers when dry, and that
comparison be taken by daily weigh
ing the milk, you will be surprised
often to find that in the course of the
year, the medium mixer has often
nearly doubled the amount given by
the 'tbrag cow" in the herd. The
write was the victim Of just such a
surprise party as that on one occasion.
How it shocked the previous conceit

Ice has passed from the list Of lux
uries to that of the necessities OF farm
life. Whoever lives where Ice is
formed, and SO near to a body Of water
that the hauling will not he too costly,
should have an iee-louse. Ice keeps
best in large masses, and in building
it will be found that a house to hold
enough for two years will cost but
little more than one for a single years
stock. Occasionally the ice crop fails
over the greater part of the country.
A mild winter will cause no anxiety
to one who has a supply Of. ice left
over. lie mi has an abundance Of ice,
but no house, and has straw in plenty.
it may be worth while to stack uR q
lot, though It can hardly be expected
to last all summer. The csataek IS
especially useful when the ice-house is
not large enough to hold a full supply
if the ice is freely used. An ice stack
to be drawn upon during the early
part of the summer, will allow the
store in the house to be a long time
undisturbed. II the stack can be
made in a shady place, all the better;
select a spot where the water will
drain off. and lay down a tier of rails
. foot or 50 apart; on these put a layer
of brush, and upon the brush straw to
the thickness of a foot. If possible
set a strong pole in the centre. Now
stack up the ice as ID an iee-house,
taking care that the mass does not in
cline to one side. The covering for
the sides may be straw. salt hay, swale
hay, or even leaves, but the latter will
need to be held In place BY boards. a
foot in thickness of protecting mate
rails will do, but thicker will do better;
old boards, with braces to press them
against the straw, ETC., may be used if
needed; the stack is to be finished by a
roof Of straw, put on With pins and
ropes, as in finishing off a hay staek
On grain farms, where straw is album
dant, the mass of ice may be covered
with a great thickness of straw, by
building q stack over the ice. In using
from such a stack the ice should be
taken off on all sides regula y, and
care taken to properly rel lace the
covering. The larger such 0 stack the
better-a cube of ice twelve feet on
each side.

Interview Your Druggist,

he will tell you some curious
things. For instance,
Ayers SarsapaTiIa

is a perfectly genuine medicine;
but there are plenty of so-called
Sarsaparillas in the market
that have no Sarsaparilla about
them except the name.
I have been in the Drug business, In
Lowell, for thirty years, and sell more of
Ayers ~Sarsaparilla than of all other Sar-
sapariilas combined. Being thoroughly
familiar with the analysis of this medi-
cine, and knowing the care and skill en-
ployed in Its composition, ] am certain
it contains nothing that could not be
recommended by the most scrupulous ply
stefan. IT Is made of the true Honduras
Sarsaparilla, and of other blood purifiers,
the best known to medical science, and is
a grand specific in chronic cases, such as
Scrofula, salt-Rheum, Erysipelas, Kidney
Diseases, and troubles of the Stomach ana
Liver. Many so-called s~arsapariiias are
such only in name: they do not contain I"

Poor. faded rose, laid in a cold, still hand:
Dear hand, so often closely clasped in
mine,
My help and comfort ir, weary land,
Now cold and still, while for its touch
pine.
Farewell, dear hand Farewell, dear
heart
What joy have | since we must part J
Close softly, poor, pale rose. like those
dark eyes
Which turned SO often lOyeingly to
mine
The sun and stars still light the distant
skies,
But Death has veiled the light for which
pine.
Farewell, dear eyes! Farewell dear
heart
The world is dark since we must part.
/ kiss thee, faded but still fragrant rose,
Mindful Of lips 80 often pressed to mine
Mindful Of words lOve-fragrant at life's
close,
Now mute the voice for which ! pine
and pine.
Farewell, dear voice Farewell, dear
heart
How sweet TO love How sad to part
Like as a fading flower man perisheth,'
And yet not so,-the heart so true to
mine
Still lives, still lOves-a victor over death
For that dear heart shall not Away
pine.
Farewell, dear love Farewell, deal
heart!
Til we shall meet, and never part.

l had sworn to be bachelor, she had
sworn so be a maid,
For we both agreed in doubling whether
matrimony paid,
Besides bad my higher aims, for science
filled my heart,
And she said her young affections were all
wound up in her art,
go we laughed at those wise men who say
that friendship cannot live
'Twixt man and woman, unless each has
something else to give.
We would be friends, and friends as true
as e'er were man and man.
ia be a second David, and she Miss JOna-
than.
We'd like each other, that was all, aud
quite enough to say,
So we just shook hands upon it in busi-
ness sort Of way.
We shared our sorrows and our joys, to-
gether hoped and feared
With common purpose sought the goal
which young ambition reared.
We dreamed together Of the days, the
dream bright days to come,
We were strictly confidential and called
each other 'chum.
And many day we wandered together
DER the hills
l seeking bugs and butterflies, and she the
ruined mills,
And rustic bridges and the like, which
picture-makers prize
To run in with their waterfalls and groves
and sunny skies.
And many a quiet evening, in hours OF
full release,
We floated down the river or lOafed be-
meath the trees,
And talked in long graduation from the
poet TO the weather,
While the summer skies and my cigaI
burned slowly ont together.
But through it all no whispered word OIL
tell-tgle look or sigh
Told aught Of warmer sentiment thar
friendly sympathy.
We ealked of love as coldly as We talked
Of nebulae,
And thought no more of being one than
We did Of being three.
"wen, good-by, old fellow" I took her
hand, for che time had come to go,
My going meant our parting, when to
meet we did not know,
had fingered long and said farewell with
very heavy heart,
For though we were but friends, you bnow,
It's hard for friends to part;
swell, good-by, old fellow; don't forget
your friends across the sea,
And some day, when you've lots Of time,
Just drop a line to me-"
The words came lightly, gayly, but great
sob just behind
Rose upward with a story Of quite diff
ferent kind;
And then she raised her eyes to mine,
great liquid eyes Of blue,
Full to the brim and running DER, like
violet cups with dew;
One long, long look, and then l did what
| never did before
Perhaps the tear meant friendship, but l
think the kiss meant more.

Take Things a. they Come.

Some days are bright and sunny,
And some are bleak with rain,
Some lives are crowned with pleasure,
And some are filed with pain.
For some the world is rosy,
For others sad and glum;
But all who'd know conteptment
Should take things as they come.
You know Dame Fortunes fckle
And oft withdraws her smile,
And things to suit her fancy
Won't fashion all the while.
The best Of puddings only fN
Has here and there apium-
Then look upon the bright side
And take things as they como.
'Tis not by care and worry,
'rs not by fume and fret,
That great things we accomplish
And wreaths victorious get.
It is by watching, waiting,
And bravely working from
The morn till night, and taking
Lifes trials as they come.
Depend, the world is sunny,
If we the snn would see;
Then take ihings as they're gcang,
And Eet as they should -. r.

And JOY will hope and hum
Around us, If we only ..l
Will take things As they come

if be wise longer to obey the be-
hests of the Democratic party,
whose whole system of political
action is made up Of appeal to
passion and prejudice and a re-
kindIing of sectional strife.
BY thwarting the wise purposes
of the Republican party in this re-
spect, they have arrayed them
selves as enemies Of popular educa-
ton, and no more practical evil

Ia 1883, under Republican adj

andOah county l0l school in opera
ton, 81 white and 4 colored, and
the school term was 6 IL months.
In 1879, under bourbon admins

attending school.
In 1879, under Bourbon admins
tration, teachers were paid in
warrants which Bourbons would
take in trade, or shave, at
discount of from 20 to 50 per
cent. on the dollar, while in 1888,
under Republican administration,
they realized dollar for dollar on
school warrants.
Under Bourbon administration
now, there is due the teachers OF
the State, poorly paid as they are,
over 100000. With this generous
contribution of S62,44S.0O TO the
free schools of Shenandoah county,
which they would have received
under the Blair educational bill,
the teachers there could be better
paid.
Will the people who have chill
dren to be educated be further
deceived by Bourbon promises Of
friendship to free schools?
Do they forget that under Boar.

lion and a half of the school fund
was diverted, and that this sum
was paid back under Republican
rule Do they forget the school
