NY WOLVES.

Three gannt, grim wolves that hunt for me. Three gaunt, grim wolves there he And one is Hunger aad one is Sin And one is Misery. I sit and think till my heart is sore, While the wolf or the wind keeps shaking the
 door, Or peers at his prey through the window pane Till his ravenous eyes burn into my brain And cry to myself, If the wolf be Sin, He shall not come in-he shall not come in; But if the wolf be Hunger or Woe, He will come to all men, whether or mol" For out in the twilight stern and grim, A destiny weaves mans life for him As the spider weaves his web for flies; And the three grim wolves, Sin, Hunger and Woe, A man must fight them, whether or no, Though oft in the struggle the fighter dies Tonight cry to God for bread. To-rnorrow night shall be dead; For the fancies are strange and scarcely sane That fit like specters through my brain; And dream of the times long. long ago, When knew not Sin, and Hunger, and Woe. There are three wolves that hunt for men, And have met the three, And one is Hunger, and one is Sin. And one is Misery; Three pairs of eyes at the window pane Are burned and branded into my brain Like signal lights at sea.

THE QUEEN ROSE.

Within Q fair secluded garden close, Where happy snnbeams played throughout the
 day,
 Chasing the languid, dreamy hours away, And naught disturbed the calm, serene repose- Afar from chilling blasts and Sxintry snows, Rloomed fragrant flowers in .oveliest array; But in one corner, stunning all display, In beauty grew the sweetest, queenlisst rose. loved that quiet garden with it's flowers; It was to me Q well spring of delight, Until one day found its glory fled. For though the birds sang in the leafy bowers, And all the blooms were seemingly as bright, saw, alasi my sweet, queen rose was dead.

Woman Under the Hindu System.

The Hindus look upon the women as clever and deceitful as serpent But they do not stop to ask If so clever for evil why should they not be made clever for goodl Some times, although 1t may appear strange, there are, under the Hindu system, happy mar riages, but even in the happiest it is the GUS tom for the wife to eat only after the hus- band, and what he may leave on his plate, and sometimes if a husband Is fond of his wife he will leave more on his plate, espe- cially if he knows it Is something his wife likes, but he never will show his affection for her before a third party, and even will pre- tend he dislikes her. A wife has plenty to do to wash and cook, and considers herself blessed if when washing her husbands feet some of the water splashes on her.-Home Journal

 Our buyer has been in the market for some time on the alert for the inevitable busintss embarrassment of manufacturers suffering from the effects of over produc- tion. His vigilance has been rewarded and his purchases have assumed colossal proportions In order to sell the immense aggregate we have determined to introduce this mammoth sale, for ONE WEEK.

Farm Notes.

Paint your buildings, vehicles and
tools.
Australia is building a fence of
wire netting 5000 miles long to keep
jack rabbits out of Queensland.
Good blood is appreciated more
and more each year by those who
purchase horses for city purposes.
Don't overfeed one day restrict
the supply the next. Regularity in
time and quantity when feeding,
saves labor and expense.
Think about getting material to-
gether for that new granary and
other necessary buildings, to be built
during the winter or in early spring.
1t is not good judgment to hold on
to grain after it is fit for market.
In six months from the time it is
threshed wheat will shrink two quarts
10 the bushel.
No farmer who has any brains can
afford to spend the short winter days
at hard labor, and then 90 trudging
around with a lantern in one hand
"doing chores" in the evening.
The free use of clover seed and
keeping of farm stock enables farm
ers TO maintain land in good condi-
ton for ordinary cropping without
purchasing commercial manures.
The dehorning craze, we believe,
has had its run. 1t was inhuman,
unnecessary and demoralizing to
beast and human. There was enough
barbarity without Introducing this:
The potato crop in Indiana is the
largest crop ever known there, and
prices are ruling from twenty-five to
thirty cents a bushel, while in south
ern Illinois they are selling as low
as fifteen cents bushel.

stances. more than half the food
consumed by our domestic animals
in winter is required for the main
tenance of the heat of the body; but
there is no profit in the feeding
which merely keeps the animal alive.
Trying experiments in order to de-
termine how to reduce the manure
to fine condition will always pay.
The value of manure depends large
" on its condition. All work neces-
sary 70 have the manure ready should
be done in winter.
There are in North America about
800, 900 persons keeping bees. The
annual honey product IS about 1907
900, 900 pounds, and its value nearly
S15, 100000. The annual wax pro-
duct is about 10000 pounds, and
its value more than 100000.
A barrel with both heads out, set
over rose bushes or tender shrubs
and filled with leaves, makes a good
winter protection. Hybrid roses,
towering almond and Japan ounce
wintered in this way come through
all right and blossom profusely.
The best gardeners say that the
porous common pots are not so good
for house plants as those glazed or
painted outside. The reason is that
evaporation is constant from the
porous pots, and the roots are not
only drier but colder for it.
A French horticulturist, Mons.
Noble, has found that the seeds of
the finest varieties of grapes germI-
nate more than those of the com
moner sorts, and that seeds fresh
from the fruit terminate better than
those which have been dried.
When prices go below the point
of profitable production on any grain
or stock, enough farmers abandon it
to bring it up again in a year or two,
and the man who keeps right on is
pretty sure of two or three years of
good prices.
When hay and grain crops are
sold off the and they carry away
the fertility Of the farm; but when
such crops are fed to stock not only
is portion of the crops left over as
a manure, but higher price is re-
ceived for such crops in the shape
of beef, pork, mutton or milk, which
enables the farmer to restore any
loss of fertility by the increased re-
ceipts consequent upon the keeping
of stock.

of sliced onions and layer of pota-

Gaaiea' Column.
A Mans Part In Good House.
keeping.

A man should first of all help his
wife in planning her work. Let
every man give his wife the benefit
of his practical business experience,
and advise with her how she may
arrange and time her several duties
that they may least conflict.
In the second place, the husband
should give the wife the full amount
of money necessary to properly
care for the home.
Third, he should see that she has
the best tools that can be had to
tighten her labor.
Fourth, he should by every posi-
BILE means shorten her hours of labor.
If he finds that she is obliged to
work earlier or later than he, than he
should at once give, or procure for
her, such assistance as will make
their working hours equal.
Fifth, realizing that for her labor
she receives no direct compensation,
he should at the least be careful to
give continually that reward of cor
dial praise which costs him nothing
and so much pleases her.
Finally, the man must recognize
that many of the domestic duties are
essentially proper to him, and not to
the woman such are all that require
great physical exertion. Therefore,
not only should proper implements
be generously furnished for the
womans' use, but all the materials she
must use should be provided and
made accessible. Plenty of coal,
wood and kindlings should be kept
near the place where they are to be
burned, should be supplied so as to
be handy and abundant, plenty of
hooks, shelves, closets, etc. should
be arranged to the best advantage.
At house-cleaning time the man
should either move, or get moved,
the heavier articles of furniture he
should attend to the cleaning and
putting down Of carpets, the setting
up of stoves and the like; in other
words, he should assume the respon-
sibility for all the heavier and more
disageeable duties connected with
good housekeeping, and be willing on
occasion to take a hand in those
which are lighter.
But if he won't do things he ought
to do, let him, at least, have grace
enough to keep out of the woman's
way while she is doing them for him,
refrain when they are done from re-
warding his overworked helpmeet
with cross and complaining speech

Care of Horses.

The horses need more care at this
season, even if used but little, than
they do when at hard work in spring
and fall. Their hair is long, and it
is more work to keep them properly
groomed, so that the pores of the
skin may be kept open for the pas
sage off of the insensible perspira-
ton. When they are used enough
to sweat any, or when taken out in
snow or rain, 1t is more work to dry
them off, and yet if put into the sta
BILE while wet, and the stable is not
very warm, the result may be Gas it
might be with a man who went to a
cold bed in a wet coat) cough,
pneumonia or rheumatism. And they
cannot be used much without the
long hair around the legs and ankles
getting filled with snow or mud,
which if allowed to remain there is
not only conducive to the above
named diseases, but also to the
scratches.
Do not neglect the shoes see that
they are provided with calks to pre-
vent slipping, and if the horse is
not used enough to loosen them, or
wear them out, they should be taken
off and the hoof cut away just about
as often as it would be done if the
animal was kept at work. 1t is not
an unusual thing to see horses STUN
bling along on misshapen feet, ac-
curing an awkard gait, and perhaps
taking risk of straining the cords of
the ankle or foreleg, simply because
the shoes, not having worn out or be-
come loose, the owner feels that it
would be an extravaganza to have
them reset when they do not need
it. They do not think of the posi-
BILE injury to feet and legs by trav-

out of shape.

Winter feed and Treatment.

Cows can't make milk without
suitable material out of which to
make it. Then look well to the
feed. AS an article of winter and
spring diet, the value of roots
mangolds, turnips, etc., cannot be
overestimated. Every farmer who
has stock should look forward to the
winter supply of such food, and cul-
tivate a root patch. Long continued
dry feeding will inevitably result in
a deranged condition Of the system.
If daily or at least an occasional
allowance of roots is given, your
mich COWS will show their apprecia-
ton of the kindness by an increased
flow of milk and a general good con-
dition. They like change of food,
and in fact their health demands it.
Our health demands it too, 1t is
contrary to nature to expect an ILL
conditioned, unhealthy COW TO yield
a good quality of milk it will neces-
sarily be unwholesome. Cattle that
come out of winter quarters in poor
condition will require the greater
part of the summer to regain what
they lost during the winter.
Stock that is reduced in flesh at
the beginning of the winter will re-
quire at least p per cent. more feed
to bridge over than if in a good con-
dition in the fall. 1t is therefore
quite essential that cattle should
have sufficient supply of such food
as corn fodder, millet, oats, etc., af-
ter the summer pastures begin to
fail until they go to the aftermath.
The matter of proper shelter is al
so of as much consequence as that
of food. No COW exposed to the
weather can be expected to yield
satisfactory amount of milk. AS
soon as the frosty weather sets in,
its effects on the COW are seen, and
almost before the dairyman is aware
of it the milk flow is materially di-
minished, and it is impossible to re-
gain that loss. Cows that are ex-
pected to yield largely must be care
fully sheltered and literally fed. A
commodious, we'll ventilated, clean
stable is needed, and when it is re-
membered that a certain per cent. of
the food goes to keep up the animal
warmth, it will be easy to understand
that good protection is in one sense
food.

Hints to Housekeepers.

Weak pearlash water is said to be
good to remove stains caused by
acids on scarlet wooden goods.
A little saltpetre or carbonate of
soda mixed with the water in which
flowers are placed will keep them
fresh for two weeks.
Kid shoes can be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a
week with pure glycerine or castor
oil.
To remove egg stains from silver
spoons take little common salt be-
tween the thumb and finger and rub
the stain briskly. Then wash in hot
suds.
Il any one is unfortunate enough
to swallow poison of any kind,
through mistake or otherwise, give
Immediately two gills of sweet oil.
Any one with strong constitution
should take twice the quantity. On
liquid measure one teacupful is one
gill;
No steel articles should be kept in
a cellar or damp place, but in a dry
attic or closet, If they must be kept
in a cellar they should be well coated
with paraffine and wrapped in cloths
or paper; oiled paper would be pre-
ferable.
To treat sprains give the affected
part rest and apply warm fermen-
tations. If inflammation has set in
put on leeches and cooling applica-
tions, which may be removed at in
tervals if necessary. When the
inflammation subsidies use friction and
stimulting liniments, or poultices
made of bread, vinegar and water.
When tins are much blackened by
the fire they should be secured with
soap, water and fine sand.
To whiten and preserve the teeth
take one ounce of boraX, and put it
in three pints of boiling water; before
it is quite cold add to it a teaspoonful
of spirits of camphor. when cold
put in bottle, and cork tigtly. A
tablespoonful is to be used daily in
the same quantity of tepid water.
To preserve mucilage of either gum
arabic or tragrcanth, add a few drops
of oil of cloves or alcohol.
To perfume clothes, take cloves,
cedar and rhubarb, each one ounce;
pulverize and sprinkle it in the closet
or drawer. 1t will also prevent moths.
If you have any old plaster of
Paris figures such as shepherds, shep
herdesses, etc., that are still whole
and unbroken, but too much soiled to
look well, bronze them with the arti-
Gle generally used for bronzing chill
dren's shoes, etc., and they will
apear to advantage once more.
Volatile soap for removing paint,
grease spots, etc: Four tablespoon
fuls of spirits of heartshorn, four
tablespoonful of alcohol and one of
salt. Shake the whole together in a
bottle, and apply with a sponge or
brush.
