FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
THE DECORATIVE CIR AYE.

Put away the lttlo coal hod that our darling
wants to paint,
For she fain would decorate it with devices queer
and quaint;
Hide the dust-pan and the wash-tub, likewise the
garden hose,
Or Matilda will adorn them with the lily and the
rose.
When our Bridget in the morning gets the wood
en- chopping bowl,
To cencoct the morning corned beef hash, it
vexeS OF her soul
To behold a wreath of roses where she most
must cut and slash;
So she scrapes it off, because the paint mi ht
penetrate the hash.
On the household rolliDg-pn is tied pretty vel
low bow,
And its lilies of the valley oft commingle wi tn
the dough:
While the new potato masher and the kitchen
pans and pots
Are magnificent with butterflies and sweet for
get-me notS.
All our articles of furniture, the ancient and the
new,
Are respondent quite with drapery and bows of
brightest hue,
In the house we look about with mingled sorrow
and amaze,
For Matilda is affected with the decorative
craze -Woman'S Magazine.

FARM NOTES.

White fowls when dressed for the mar
ket do not show pin feather marks as
do all the black breeds. This is a
point in their favor which is worth con-
sidering.
Not only does the linden tree produce
honey in great abundance, but its
quality is regarded by many as equal, if
not superior, to that yielded by white
clover.
When the hurry of farm work ceases
in autumn there are many opportunities
to make improvements, for which the
season is favorable and the time propi-
tiOus.
Large quantities of the English walnut
or Madeira nut, are annually imported in
this country. The tree, when grown in
the Northern States, is tender, but be-
comes harder with age.
The liberal use of dry dirt will assist in
