FARM AND FIRESIDE.

A tight roof on the shed, clean
fleece on the sheep.
Experiments show that it pays to
grind the cob with the grains of corn,
as it possesses nutritive qualities.
If Your land is well underdrained
you will often be able to pillow while
your neighbor who may not have under
drained is waiting for his ground to
dry off before he can begin.
1t is not safe to apply unleached
wood ashes around the base of very
young trees. Ashes give better re-
suits when spread broadcast over the
surface of the ground around the trees.
Cases are known in which young peach
trees have been injured by the applica-
ton of wood ashes thickly around and
close to the trunks.
Many swine breeders regard q solid
earth floor the best for pig pen. 1t
must be high enough to be readily
drained, so rs to be dry at all times.
1t is also customary with some breeders
to remove from six to eight inches of
these earth floors every spring, drawing
the manure-soaked earth on to the
fields and renewing the floors with
fresh earth.
Marrow Balls: Soak beef marrow
over night in cold water. Take one
third cup of marrow and rub to q cream.
Add two or three rolled crackers (ac-
cording to size.) Add one-half tea
spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of
chopped parsley and very little nut
meg or mace, one egg, yelk and white
beaten separately. Roll in balls. Cook
in the soup five or ten minutes.
1t is desirable to have clean soil
with growing crops, but if no crops be
growing it would be better to have
weeds grow to be plowed in than to
have nothing; weeds of themselves do
not do the harm, but with growing
crops, or when allowed to seed. If
plowed in green they will return to the
soil all that has been distracted from
it, and, in addition, all that has been
drawn from the atmosphere.
"A very pretty and useful catch-a all

about six inches from the bottom; sew
together, putting tass ell at the point;
face the top on the inside with a color
of tassel below; stitch two rows around
an inch below the top far enough apart
to insert y piece of skirt springs. or
narrow hoop enough smaller in circum-
ference to allow little fullness; sus-

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
LOST AND FOUND.


a Story of the Boyhood of the "wise Men
of Gotham"
May be IN Essex, may be in Kent,
Or on the borders of the Trent,
Somewhere they dwelt, know not where,
These tW'ce six men, so wise and rare.
Gotham YES called their native town,
Search 70 II up, search for 1t down.
But though their dwelling we can not fix.
You now shall hear their clever tricks.
These men, when boys, went out to battle one
day
A lovely morning in the mouth of May
The sun it shone upon the river bright
While in they plunged and swan with all their
might.
They Owed and foated, shouting merrily,
And were as full of fun as boys can be.
But when, the play all over they were dressed,
They said among themselves: "'Twould sure
be best
To see if, now we've had our pleasant game,
We are as many as when out we came"
Then one began to count; but he with awe
Said that eleven, and no more. he saw.
He thought that he had told the lot;
To count himself he quite forgot.
'You must be wrong" another said. 'Let me
Go through them, and they'll all come right,
you'll see"
G1ily he said: zone, two three, four''-until
He reached eleven when his heart stood still!
He thought that he had told the lot;
To count himself he quite forgot.
Their each lad, thinking he could reckon best,
Tried, but TO find eleven like the rest.
Each thought that he had told the lot
And each to count himself forgot.
Then IT was true! they'd learned it to their
cost;
One ~ the ronrrv roorty al bnen
And now their fear and horror found relief
In loud lament and tears OF bitter grief
Just at this time traveller passed by
And sought 10 know the reason of their cry.
'Ho! Gotham lads" he cried whats all this
elatteri
Come near, and tell me what there is the mat
ter"
'Dear SIR one answered, ''when we left our
home
Twelve of MS did unto the river come,
But now eleven only can we find,
Yet know not which il is we've left behind"
In chorus they all ,bbed: ''Boo-hoo, Boo-hoo
We see that one is drowned, we don't know
who
The traveller loudly laughed "My lads" said
he,
"'Tls really sad that you so sharp should be,
y
Live to grow up to manhood hardly ever.
Now lie down on the ground in two straight
rows,
And in the sand make holes, each with his
nose"
When they a little time thus still had laid
He babe them rise, and count the holes they'd
made.
O, then to gladness turned their deep despair,
For, looking on the ground, twelve holes were
there.
To tell their Joy it would be vain to strive,
AS they with rapture cried: Were all alivei
Thank you, kind sir, for finding our lost broth
err
Fright welcome, lads the jolly traveller said,
land now HE home, each youngster to his
motherw
And then he laughed and laughed and shook
his head.

ADOPTING A GRANDFATHER.

Their Mamma.

Daisy and Daunic's Pleasant Surprise for
Their Mamma.
"Oh, dear, whatever shot, we do

Two forlorn little faces were pressed
against the window, as four blue eyes
looked out at the snow, which was
having q merry frolic all to Itself,
playing miscellaneous pranks on those
who vcnturcd out of doors, without
respect to age or person.
"Idon'tknow," said Daisy, thought
fully. "We've played pussy wants a
corner and where's the thimble?
and hide and seek and Tit, tat, toe,
and mamma HASN'T come yet. She
said she'd be here. sure, by the time
we'd played all the games. Is'pose
we might begin and play 'em all over
again." she added. soberly, flattening
her nose against the window-pane,
until even papa. who loved his little
daughter so dearly, would scarcely
have recognized that queer-looking
face as belonging to his Daisy.
Il don't want to play games.
want to go out and snowfall" said
Dan, impatiently. Mrs. Brown never
lets mamma come home when she
runs in just for minute"
But you mustn't go out in the
snow. Dannie, Mamma said not"
"She meant you. Course girls can
go without getting sick. Girls ain
biz and stout like boys"
Dan stretched up to his full height
as he made this speech. and put on a
very wise expression.
Pm taller than you," cried Daisy,
Indignantly, with an angry sparkle in
her blue eyes.
That's all you know about it, =" said
Dan. "Who weighs the mostP just
tell me THAR
you do" admitted D aisy, family,
"and we're both just Of an age; but
Tn the ta,lest, anyhow"
You cheated. you know you did"
retorted Dan.
And then an ominous silence fell
between the little brother and sister
who seldom quarreled with each
other
Dan tried to whistle-he was inst
learning how, and imagined he coul
whistle any tune-hut somehow the
whistle stuck in his throat, and his
lips forgot the proper pucker.
Daisy didn't even try to appear un.
concerned; for how could she, will
the tell-tale tears filling her eyes and
running over, making damp little
spots on her white apron front?
Pretty soon Dan saw the bright tear
drops, and his conscience upbraided
him as being the cause of his little
sisters grief.
Daisy, don't you wish that some
bodv'd leave a baby on our door
steps he asked. suddenly, as though
nothing unpleasant had occurred.
"Oh. don't l. thought" exclaimed
Daisy. with sunshiny smile driving
the shadow from her face. One SWEEP
Of her chubby hand across her eyes

BEES FOR BEGINNERS.


10 Engage III agriculture
If you have a liking for outdoor pur-
suits, with II fixed determination to sue
coed, and are not afraid of bees, in
time you might make living. Do not
purchase more than two colonies to
start with; if you can manage these
successfully, you will have in the fall
(prOvided it is q good seosvII1 loor
good strong colonies and between four
and five hundred pounds of honey. Ii
you succeed, your knowledge must in
crease i'll the same ratio as your bees.
You must also expect rayerses, like the
past season, which has been one, with
few exceptions, of entire failure all
over this continent. | met lady at
one of the conventions who had read
that charming fiction, blessed Bees"
and caught the bee-fevcr so badly, that
she invested 5000 at once. She later
wrote: "All that have for this invest
ment, is hives full of foundation, with
a queen and a handful of bees running
over it." Now if you do not wish to
buy your experience dearly, as this
lady did, commence at the bottom and
go up.
As you have lived on farm, you
probably know how to raise chickens,
and might keep them while you are
building up an apiary. When you
have large apiary, you will have no
time for them, unless you manage some
WHAT in this way. Set the hens in Feb
ruary, so the pullets will be old enough
to lay in the fall, and sell off all the old
hens and cockerels in the spring. 1t
will be little work to feed the pullets
during warm weather, and ii you have
good, warm quarters for them, and
give them the right kind of food, you
will have eggs to sell all winter, when
they bring Il good price. A German
who lives across the alley from me has
hen house almost all under ground,
and the chickens lay all winter. Man
aging in this way, the busy season with
bees would be in warm weather, and
that OF the fowls in cold weather
The surest places for honey are
along water courses, and where there
are overlooked lands, but | think it
would be best for you to follow Long
fellow and ''take whatever lieth near
you, and work from it thy work of art. :"
Remember the story of the old lark
and her young ones, and STAY where
you can look after your property your
self. If possible rent n place sur
rounded with shrubbery and low trees
like May cherries Where an apiary
is located near large forest trees,
swarms sometimes cluster very high,
and it is very difficult to hive them.
If the place is small, very near neigh
bors are not desirable, as bees are q
kind of stock not always to be con-
trolled, and are dangerous near horses.
Avoid locating near q public square,
or blacEsmth's shop. | know of q
town where the business is very much
injured by an apiary located at pub
lie square, where there are wells. drink
ing troughs and hitching posts for
teams. Several accidents have oc-
Cured here, as horse, when once
stung, becomes almost frantic when
he hears bee hum, and farmers drive
of TO other towns in place Of coming
here for fear of the bees. Prairie

A HEBREW CUSTOM.


How Ort hOdox jews Chersh the Memory
of Their Dead.
In the home of one Of our Jewish
citizens was seen recently tiny flame
burning in handsome goblet. Exami-
nation showed the goblet half filled
with water, on the top of which foated
an inch of sweet oil. On the ring was
placed WAX taper. hardly thicker
than thread, passed through small
circle of thin wood. so that the lower
end of the taper dipped through the
ring into the sweet oil. The upper
end was lighted. The sweet oil
drawn up through the wax-covered
wick served to keep it alight for sew
eral hours.
ave burn this" said rabbi, ''in
memory of one of our dead. When
that taper burns nearly out we substi-
tute another, so that the flame, like
the vestal fire, is never allowed to 90
out We light the taper when our rel.
ative dies and let it burn year.
The last taper we let go out of itself.
1t flickers. flames up, sinks, flares
again and then goes out, just as hui
man life does in its last hours. We
tend this light with great care, and
thus keep alive in the memory of Our

is now becoming less observed. Many
now only burn the taper for month
