Home


An exchange furnishes the following
reflections on the home:
What is homer 1t is what we make it.
1t may be IA model home or it may he en-
tirely the reverse. 1t may be flied with
sunshine, or the clouds OF discomfort NAV
hang ominouslv over the hearthstone 1t
may be home in every sense of the word,
or it may merely be a place s0-calIed; u
place to eat and sleep and drink, nothing
more. 1t may be that it is cursed with
husband who has no consideration for
his wife and none for himself, and this is
often the case, and three times out of four
is the general ruling defect of household
where no happiness enters. He NAV be
a chronic fault finder and fly into pas
sion at everybody and everything but
himself. He allows that bad trait of hu>
man nature to assume complete mastery
over him. He carelessly shuts the door
aud pinches his fingers, and then kicks
the door down to punish it. He can't
find his collars, handkerchiefs or sleeve
buttOns-a man Can never find any thing
and he storms around, nightly
afraid all the time he will find what
he is looking for and have no ex-
cause to be angry. Such is the careless
husband, and there is not the least sense
or logic in his actions and not the slight,
est connection between what he thinks he
IS mad at and the object of his rage.
In some respects home life is the most
exacting and trying. 1t is so because we
must face and meet whatever is disagree
able in it. We can not turn away from it
as we can from unpleasant portions of
life outside the home 1t often requires
large development of patience and indus
trious habits. A lazy man has no bust
ness to get married. Home duties are too
cxacting for laziness. The average the
ory of home life is that happiness de-

such things il IS no evidence that they are
of any benefit. WhateversEneet is fed out to
poultry should be fed whilessweet and fresh;
pure water is also very desirable.
In the care of poultry il should be the
effort of the keeper to feed each day no more
than will be eaten no clean before night;
especially of food that is to be moist
ened with water. While tits well to feed a
great variety of food, an effort should be
made to furnish the proper proportion Of
each variety, so that All shall be eaten up
clean: If a mistake be made, and 10 is found
at hight that there is q surplus of any one
kind of food, il should be taken away, and
the next day less amount given.
When il is found that the laying hens are
getting too fat less corn and more oats aud
shorts should be given Some breeds of
hens take on fat more readily than Others,
therefore it is best, il possible, to keep each
breed separate, so that they can be fed in a
manner TO keep them in a proper condition.
In feeding young chicks care should be
taken not 20 feed very finely greund meal,
and particular efforts should be made not to
let the food remain before the chicks long
enough to get sour. 1t is the most natural
for chicks TO eat seeds ungroUnd, So as a
rale, the food that is gwen them should be
small seeds until they are large .eaougA to
eat whole corn. Millet seed makes an ex-
cellent food for young chicks. When corn
is given 1t should be only cracked small
enough for the chick to eat it; fine ground
corDneal sboEld never be given to young
chicks unless mixed with shorts.

Managing Costly Seed Potatoes.

Mr.. S. Miller, of Button, No., writes the
Liye Stock Record at Kansas City: As the
time is here when seed potatoes will be
sought after, and in many cases costing a
high price, it is desirable to make the most
of few. The best plan is to imbed them in
bottled, similar to the plan by which sweet
potatoes are treated. When the sprouts are
about four inches high pull them of, but do
not disturb the tubers. Set them out in well
prepared soil, the usual distance apart. In a
few weeks there will be another set of
sprouts, which can be taken of and planted.
There win most likely few more sprouts
come up, and then the potato can be taken
ont and cut up so that there is an eye or
sprout on it, which plant. When the early
rose first came out and was selling at ex-
travagant prices, friend sent me seven or
binary tubers, altogether weighing probably
one and one-fourth pounds. / treated them
as above stated, and the result was one bar
rel and half a bushel-nearly $50 fold. If
one large potato was given me in February
that had dozen eyes in it, would under
take to raise five bushels of tubers from it
by fall. Then | would use cuttings from the
tubers in the same way that dahlias are
propagated by greenhouse men.

practioalexperience can be acquired of agrI-

ments of colonial country life and at which
the capabilities of the intending colonist will
be severely tested, may commend itself to
those, ard to that numerous class seeking in
our colonial empire a field for the enterprise
OF its sons.
Although the old reliable Wilson is good,
firm market berry, it is acid in its ripest stage
and some better kind,,may be grown for fam
lily use. The Sharpless has an excellent rep
utation as family berry, being not only
sweet, but large and well favored. The Man.
chester and Crescent regarded as excel
lent on light soils, but require being alter
mated with varieties that are both staminate
and pistilate. In selecting varieties for home
use this must not be overlooked. as many va
rieties will net produce unless fertilized by
other kinds.
The Standard Cattle Company of Chey-
enne, Wy, is about to construct an immense
feeding establishment, including 5000 acres
of land, at Ames, Neb. The buildings will
consist OF feeding barn. elevator and cribs,
meal houses, Offices, etc. The feeding barn
will contain 5000 stalls, and is expected to
turn out yearly 5000 to 10. 600 fat beeves. 1t
Z is expected that SOC, 600 to 500 600 bushels of

WONDERFUL BOY.

Your correspondent to-day visited the
home of Presley Forrest, son of Burr For
rest, nine miles from this place. who, within
the past two months, has developed such ex-
traordinary spiritual manifestations and
wonderful sightseeing phenomena, and
which have created the greatest sensation
and astonishment among those of spiritual
istic belief, and among the entire neighbor-
hood of that section, the people fiocking for
miles to see, her and witness his talk and
performances while under the influence of
what is commonly known as spirit control.
The young man belongs TO one of the most
respected families in Rutland Township. is
twenty. eight years old, slender build, and is
an invalid and deformed, being crippled in
both hands and feet from his birth; is very
quiet, inoffensiye and non-communicatiye,
except when in a trance, at which time he
converses with the spirits of well-known
deceased persons. often strangers to himself,
speaking to them in the language and char
acteristic way in which they were accus-
toned to do, either in German or other for
eign languages, and he also, while under the
same influence, gives examples of their par
tlcular habits and individual actions the
same as they did when alive, so that friends
readily distinguish the spirits of those they
were formerly accustomed to see or associate
with. Forrest also reads and translates Ger
man into English and English into German
with great rapidly, which is not the less
strange since he never studied or was taught
German, being but an inferior scholar, and
having few or no advantages of schooling
Persons who have gone there have been told
great many things relative to their diseases
infirmities, etc, which he readily discovered
by looking at them, and which they
fully believed no one else knew Of
supposing they were profound Sc
crets to all except themselves.
Instances of this kind have been numerous
and astonishing. He also seems to possess
the power of seeing directly through solid
substances as if they were only glass, and
has many times told the position of the hands
of a watch when shifted purposely to de-
ceive MIN, apparently being able to see or
divine through metal. Also, it is claimed by
his relatives, friends, neighbors and many
strangers of the most influential and sub
stantial character that he readily observes
objects through solid wood, walls of a house
or other like substances while in the state of
trance. Parties of the highest standing and
unquestioned veracity attest to these facts.
