SILVER AND GOLD.

BY EDITH NJ. THOMAS.
Farewell, my little sweetheart,
Now ARE you well and free;
ltlaim from you no promise,
Go1 claim no vows from me.
The reason why the reason
Right well we can uphold
L have TOO much of silver,
And you've too much of gold !
A puZz'e. this. TO worldlings,
Whose 4ove to lucTe flies,
" no think that gold TO silver
Should count as mutual prize;
But I'm not ayaricious,
And you're not sordid souled;
have teo much or silver,
And you've too much OF gold.
Upon our heads the reason
Too plainly can be seen;
am the Wintel s bond slave,
You are the summers queen,
Too I, " the years you nnmber,
Too many have told;

And you've too much of gold.
You have the rose for token,

You, morning bells at chime,

(And yol grew never old
Would / had less of liver,
But you nc less Of gold

The Capital of King Corn.
From the Washington Star.


Sioux City, the entrepot of Northwest
crn Iowa, las struck out for itself
novel path to distinction Her corn
palace last fall excited the wonder and
admiration of thousands, including the
president and his wife. who saw it while
ON their memorable Western tour. This
year the Sioux citizens have outdone
themselves. One of the best architects
In the West was engaged al a handsome
honorarlum 10 design a structure of gi-
ganuc proportions and more elaborate
ornamentation. The result shows what
human ingenuity and ambition can do.
The corn palace covers half an acre of
ground and has a beautiful tower $50
'1eet high. In color it is said 10 be trans
cendantlv beautiful. The combinations
OF golden and orange ears. yellow and
crimson, blue and black, purple and
green, banded, striated, notified and
bIotched can only be imagined by those
not fortunate enough to visit Sioux CITY.

Rests With the Wage-Earners.

From The New York Tribune.
The average of wages paid in this
country was fully double the average
paid in Great Britain in 1880, and there
fore must be more than double in 1883.
Such are the results of the protective
policy, which President Cleveland and
the advocates of the Mills bill are en-
deavoring 10 break down. 1t rests with
the wage earners themselves 10 decide

Farm Notes.

Milk is a result of CESSATION and is
provided by nature for the support OF
the young animal. 1t is a complete
food, containing everything that is
needed for the support and growth OF
the animal. 1t is produced in the I'D
der, which Is made up CT myrlads of
small glands, each Of which contains a
nu leus or central part of fat, and each
of these is a butter globule. These
glands all lead by ducts or passages
which gradually become larger, as the
small twigs of a tree increase and join
from the leaves TO the stem, until the
teat is reached, and Just above this we
find large spaces or reservoirs in which
milk Is collected.
Spinach is one of the early green's.
An application ofyery fine manure will
hasten them and give a larger crop.
Hel!ebore is 50 efft ctive indestroying
currant worms that only the lightest
busting is required. If applied as a
powder Il thin piece of muslin may be
tied overthe can. In applying hellebore
III the liquid form. about three table
spoonfuls should be mixed with pail
of water and finely sprayed over the
plants. A small quantity of -four mixed
into the solution will render it more eff
fective by giving 1t more adhesive
power.
Old china, broken earthenwsre and
other similar materials can be made SER
yiceable by pounding them for the
hens. The hens will prefer them to
broken shells or any other gritty mate
rial. They are used in the gizzurd for
grinding the food, and are really neces-
sary, as many kinds OF gravel are too
round and do not answer the purpose.
All gritty, grinding substances used BY
poultry should be sharn and cutting.
Dressed poultry should not be packed
for transportation until entirely cold
1t then should be laid in clean straw,
breast down, keeping wings and legs
close to the body. See that there is no
discoloration of the blood on the skin
If the heads are removed pull up the
skin of the neck and tie it over the sew

Geese may be picked every ten
weeks. Old geese should be kept for

Pickling and Drying Beef.

In the frs place, get good beef. The
