Roses.
"a VILANELLE).

There are roses white, there are roses red
Sbyly rosy, tendery white;
Which shall choose to wreathe my head?
Which shall I Gull from the garden bed
TO greet my love on this very night?
There are roses white, there are roses red.
The red should say what would have said
Ali how they blush in the evening light!
Which shall ! choose to Wreathe my head?
The white are pale as the snoWnow spread,
Pure as young eyes and half as bright;
There are roses white, there are roses red.
Roses white, from the heaven dew fed,
Roses red for a PASSIONS plight,
Which shall l choose to Wreathe my head?
Summer twilight is almost fled,
Say, dear love! have I chosen right?
There are roses white, there are roses red,
all tWined together to wreathe my head.

lnere IS a wonderfully soothing property
IN This mother earth of ours. The odor Of
the loose, warm soil, the feel Of It unon
your hands as you work in it, have euri-
Gus life-giving power And as you crouch
down upon the bosom which now seems f.
love you and to bear you tenderly, almost
with carresses, the clear triumphant notaa
of the oriole are piped out Of Wonder elm
tree, and the bird sweeps by like flash Of
lire. Across the road, on a big maple
swinging on the very topmost Dough, is a
brown thrush that is fairly drunk with the
rolicking Of the various notes he pours
out. lie seems to announce at the Begin
nlng that he can do anything, and as he
goes on with his different airs he grows
wilder and wilder in the delight of his
powers. Harry Wicket, in the oak wood
below the hill, stops his monotonous clat-
ter to listen, and the sparrows and robins
know very well that here is songster that
they cannot rival.
The red-winged blackbird in the meadow
keeps calling out " Let's have spree-e-e r.
as if it were not already enough Of spree
to listen to all this melody let loose upon
the earth. What revels the feathered folks
hold in the latter half of May and the first
OF June! Those people who leave the
towns In July and August know not what
they miss in not being in the country at
this time Of year. The very wheel of the
catbird in the air is different from his
motion in midsummer. The robin is gay
er; we think that his lovely long dress
coat has better fit to it than it has later
when he hops about more demurely, and
takes his worm with less of cavalier air.
| fear me that we paused a good many
times when we made the beet bed, to listen
to all these gay beings in the air, and to
watch their flight and their cirolings.
Aunt Ann was obliged frequently to recall
us to the necessities of our work, and re-
mind us that carrot seed did not need SO
large hole as potatoes.

winch IS said to be characteristic Of 4
woman when she works out of doors We
planted Virginia creeper in front:of our nj
azza before we went away last fall, and since
we came back it has been a constant warfare
With the chickensto keep life in these lush
growing creepers. It was decided that
while hens and large chicks should be sbut
up, these dear little things were not bio
enough to do any harm.
10 those who know the capabilities ofthe
infant hen, however young, I need not ex-
PLAIN how very wrong was this conclusion,
We are sleepless in our watch, and fully
intend to enjoy the shade and the sweet,
Waxy odor Of this climber when it is in It's
prime in hot midsummer days.
The Ssparrer-grass has been on our
table with a persistency due partly to Aunt
AIMS Yankee desire to get our moneys
worth FROM that bed, if it be possible
thing We had the bed made three years
ago, and we have bill OF particulars
OF the expense incurred for it, and we re-
fer to it occasionally when we boast of how
much the farm has already cost US. We
reckoned up, after the laying out of the
bed, and found that the asparagus would be
worth in money and brains already ex-
pended for the first five years, from three
to five cents per stalk, average yield
After that time it would grow cheaper, and
in our extreme old age we felt that we
should have asparagus almost for nothing,
or merely for the labor of cutting it.
But though we know all this, and often
speak of it, we still have feeling that
whatever we make grow on the farm is, of
necessity, cheap, | believe we are not the
only people who labor under such an I'M
reasonable conviction, or emotion perhaps
| should say.
The most precious article in this town is
man. Do not say that this assertion is
equally applicable concerning the world at
large, for l would be far from disputing
such statement. But here in Wrentham
man is valuable indeed. One reason may
be that, generally speaking, a boy, when he
is sufficiently grown, Immediately leaves
this town for some place where there is
more prospect of business and activity.

place among all the other useful things.
In the medicine closet should be found

simple homeopathic or allopathic reme-

there are little children it is an excellent
plan to have the family physician order
two or three prescriptions which can be
used in case of sudden attacks of Group

everything at hand, it will not seem

medicines can be given and applications
made without rousing the household or
hunting from garnet to cellar. The
mother who has once fortified herself
with every convenience of this kind,
and known the comfort derived from
being so prepared for emergencies will
never want to be without her store of
sick-room accessories. Aside from
things needed for the sick, there are
two comforts which the mother should
provide for her own use; these are
warm slippers and warm flannel
double gown. The comfortable wraps
which are made of flannel blankets in
the shape of long sacques reaching to
the feet are very warm and nice to slip |
on in the night when one has to get up |
suddenly.

Weighing Cattle.

Let me suggest to stock growers 70
weigh the cattle before turning to pas
ture, and again in the fall. 1t is eur
prising how few farmers can answer in
telligently the question, "What is a
fair gain for ayearling, or two year old,
on pasture for six months?" have
weighed all growing stock twice year
for some years, and think it has paid
many fold for the cost and trouble, al
though go two miles to stock scales.
This regular weighing has taught me
several things: First, that one must use
the best of judgement and buy good,
thrifty cattle, If he buys in spring and
sells in the fall, or he will lose money !;
for usually cattle are lower (often cent
pound) in October than in April.
Second, that cattle that have been well
wintered with moderate grain ration
each day gain more rapidly and give
better results than those so wintered
as to be poor and unthrifty in the spring.
Third, the scales show the value of good
shelter and warm quarters through the
winter, as, other things being equal,
the steer that is stabbed will show
gain of fifty to one hundred pounds, or
more varying, of course, with the sea-
SOM, over the one that sleeps in the
fence corner, on the frozen ground or
in the mud.

Culture Of the Ounce.

As the ounce, more than any other
tree, is supplied with an abundance Of
fbrous rootlets, and comparatively des-
titute of large roots, it stands to reason
that deep culture should not be prac-
ticed near the bodies; frequent hoeing
will be sufficient. Too much stress can
not be laid upon the necessity of search
ing for the borer, and no other tree
seems to be greater favcrite with the
little pest. Salt is especially valuable,
and should always be added to the CON-
post applied to ounces. Soapsuds are
invaluable for the same purpose, and
always show plainly in an increase of
size and color of fruit. A thrifty ounce
tree needs little pruning, merely an
occasional thinning rs the heads natur-
ally thicken up. 1t is impossible to
grow fine fruit without good foliage,
and to procure the latter we must man
ure with no stinted hand, and apply
wood-ashes or muriate of potash occas-
lonally. As we strive more for appear
ance than quality IN ounces for market,
The above facts should never be lost |

Jealousy AfOat.

that the wife was mad as wet hen.

about 40 years of age. Presently the
woman gathered up her parcels and
walked over and shook his hand and

Mere weight in horse is no indica-
ton of his value. A horse may be SO
heavy and yet so weak that he cannot
do more than carry his own weight
around while lighter horse would
outdraw and outwork him. The old
Morgan horse was small, but so wiry
and strong in sinew and muscle that no
other horse, however heavy and large
he might be, could outdraw him. The
farm horse and the roadster, the army
horse, and the other horses which do
active work should be of this kind.
The very heavy horses have their uses;
chiefly for drawing heavy loads on paved
streets in cities. Some of these heavy
Percherons and Clydesdales have sing
ly moved load Of seven tons upon the
ordinary paved streets of cities where
they are kept. But this is not what
farmer wants at all, and he should not
mistake mere size and weight for general
purpose usefulness, nor fat and sleek
ness for strength.
