The Farmers Boy.


know my face and hands are brown,
But am strong aud spry;
You cannot find in al the town
A happier boy than l.
With health, with hearty appetite,
With nothing to annoy,
It is a sweet and true delight
To be farmers boy.
NY pants are patched, my cap is torn,
There's smut upon my nose;
Nv muddy shoes are badly worn
They laugh at both the toes.
NV mother makes a suit for NE
That | can soon destroy;
But it is always fun TO be
A lively farmers boy!
love the mountains grand and steep,
They make me think OF God;
The hillside pastures. where the sheep
Browse on the fresh, green sod;
The spreading beech and maple trees
The squirrels, so cute and coy,
The birds, the butterflies, the bees

| can, with lack knife, carve a ship,
Or make whistle shrill;
Can stones upon the river skip,
Down by the old red mill;
The tallest trees can nimbly climb,
Can sing, can shout with joy.
Can have a splendid, Jolly time,
And be farmers boy

HOME RULE.
BY GEORGE W. BusGAY.

The farmer sat in his old arm chair,
Rosy and fair.
Kate, | declare,
He said to his wife, who was knitting near,
We need not fear
The hard times here,
Though the leaf OF lie is yellow and sere.
i am the king, thou art the queen
OF this fair scene
Our love Is green
AS when thou vert village maid,
And /, q blade,
In loYe-afraid
My fondest hopes would be delayed.
Now, whether the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
Here, thine and mine,
Are cattle, grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep so still,
Like many ruled by single will.
These barn-yard fowls, our subjects ali,
They need the call.
Both great and small,
When we scatter for them the grain.
It's not in vain
We live and reign,
In this our happy, fair domain.
4Unve1ed with shifting stocks and shares,
And bulls and bears,
And the affairs
OF speculation in mart aud street,
In this retreat
Sweet Peace can meet
Plenty that's crowned with braided Wheat. .

from close by Chicago. Wouldyoulike

A few short weeks ago that young girl was
the personifcation of health, vigor and
beauty. The blush upon her cheek rivalled
that OF the rose; her step was light and
buoyant, her every movement was reve-
lation of perfect physical health. Yet now
she is pallid and haggard, and her super
abundant vitality has given place to a
strange dullness and lassitude. What has
caused this change? Functional irregulari-

Lancaster, how we pity her during
court time. How she must be literally
all broken up by legal men. Platte
vile is away ahead of her on this deal
We understand that some of our
ladies who frequent the auction store
worked quite scheme on the auc-
tioneer the other night. Six or seven
of them arranged among themselves
that when an article they wanted was
put up for bids, some one of their num-
Der would start it quite low, after which
the person who really wanted the article
woald raise the price little and the
bidding would then stop. There being
two bids the Article had to be sold. If
there are any ladies in the country who
can "head off, those of Platteville, we
would like to know it.
There is nothing more reprehensible
than the mean little street hoOdlumism
of young men; unless it be that of
young women. We allude to them as
young women not as young ladies, for
indeed, they have no claim, and prob
ably never will have claim to the title
of ladies. 1t is simply worth ten years
of lifetime to see one of these crea-
lures perform, when she thinks that she
has some poor, unsuspecting, green
country youth to deal with. 1t was
only few evenings ago that we had an
example of this kind of culture and re-
finement brought to our notice. A
young man was going up street and a
young woman thought it would be capt.
tai fun to s'haze" him as they call it.
Of course, the young fellow kept on his
way and she returned to her companions
who were taking it all in. Now what
the young woman did was not in itself
very bad, but it merely indicated how
very little she esteemed the value of
decent behavior on the streets. When
we see instances like this, it makes us
long for the good old times when the
stern parent would reward his interest

Save The Children.

Save the Children.
Detrimental food which. by reason of
their superior strength, may not serious
ly affect the health of adults, as is well
known, frequently acts upon the more
delicate organs of the child to produce
disorders of the most serious character.
The amount of laudanum or other poi
son that would be harmless to an adult
will cause the death of an infant. This
great difference between the vitality of
adults. and children is too generally
overlooked in the preparation of food.
Because no harm Immediately percepti-
BILE comes to the adult by the use of an
article of food, no thought is given to
the effect it may have upon the more
delicate organs of inferior age.
Children diet largely upon cake and
bread, and these articles, if light, sweet
and composed of materials that are free
from injurious substances, are easily
digested, nutritious and wholesome
There is danger to our children, how
ever, lurking in their bread and cake
which is too often lost sight of. These
articles are now leavened largely by
baking powders, and when pure and
wholesome baking powders are used
they make not only the most palatable
food, but one much more wholesome
and nutrltiye than if leavened with
yeast or cream of tartar and soda. The
trouble arises from the fact as shown
by recent scientific tests by the govern
ment chemists and by official boards of
health, that all these baking powders,
with the single exception of the ROYAL,
contain either lime, alum, phosphates,
or acids of an injurious character.
Therefore when bread or cake is made
with the use of these cheap baking pow
ders these ingredients (Which are pres
ent through the efforts of the manufac-
turers TO produce n cheaper artlcle)
pass into the food and are taken into
the delicate organs of childhood where
they are the source of very much of the
disease with which our children are af-
fiicted.
Persons who have not strong consti-
tutions, growing girls, young children
and nursing mothers are particularly
liable to the evil effects produced by the
Introduction of the adulterants named
as found in the cheap baking powders
Heartburn and the prevalent forms OF
indigestion are often solely traceable to
the action of alum on the delicate coats
of the stomach. Prot Willard Parker,
U. S. Surgeon-Geenera, Hammond,
Prof. Alonzo Clark, most eminent phys
icians of New York, with scores of 9TH
ers, have written and spoken most earn
estly of the evils arising from partaking
of such food. There should be as much
care in the choi ce of. baking powder
as in obtaining pure milk or in having
prescription compounded from pure
drugs and not from poisons.
The matter is one of the greatest i'm
portance, particularly to the rising gen
Grafton, and while our conservative law
makers are making up their minds as
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1886-09-27

to the proper legislation to stop the sale
of the poisonous compounds, mothers
will do well to study it carefully. The
housekeeper will experience no incon-
yenience is discsrding the use of the
adultcrated baking powder, if she has
been using it, as the ROYAL Baking Pow
der upon the purity and wholesomeness
of which all the government chemists
agree, is equally accessible; but she
will need to exercise a close watch up
on her packages from the grocer in or
der TO prevent the inferior brands from
creeping into the kitchen unawares.
In what we have felt it our duty to
say in reference to the subject of baking
powder there is no intention to dispar-
age the work or the products of those
many manufacturers in other lines of
food products who. with conscientious
ness and liberality, are serving the pub
lie with pure and wholesome articles of
diet.
