He Endeavors to Save Two Hours, but
Fails-The Programme.
My little nephew ran across, somewhere,
a paragraph which said that anybody
could save at least two hours of wasted
time a day, by running on a time-table
Freddy brought the clipping to me, and
asked what it meant. | told him that
supposed it meant that q person could
save two hours day by having all his
work or amusement planned and arranged
beforehand-such and such a thing TO be
done at such time, and another thing
following directly after, and so on.
Freddy seemed so much interested that
| advised him to make out a timetable for
himself, and try running on it for few
days. He said he guessed he would, be-
cause two extra hours a day would be a
great help to him in learning to strike out
the fellows, and possibly would secure him
the coveted position of pitcher in the
school nine. The next day Freddy sub
mitted the following to me:

THE STOCK RANCH.
Cooked Food for Swine.

Starch which constitutes the bulk of
our cereal grains, consists of globules
or grains, and heat must be applied to
burst them. 1t has been maintained by
high authority that to render starchy
substances digestible they must be
cooked to break or crack the grain. 1t
is well known that starch will not dis
solve in cold water, and it is evident
that the grains containing the largest
proportion of starch will be in better
condition by cooking; grains of this de-
scriptlon are those most used for fatten-
ing pigs. Cornmeal, which contains
about 81 per cent. of starch, is liable to
be more than doubled in bulk when
cooked, on account of the bursting of
the grains, which cause it to swell, and
1t has been regarded by some as valu-
able, bulk for bdlk, as it was before the
cooking. Actual tests have conclu-
siyely shown that pigs fatten more
quickly on cooked meal than that fed in
Its raw state. According to Stewart, the
general feeder may reach, with raw
corn, eight pounds; with boiled corn,
twelve pounds, and with boiled meal
fifteen pounds of live weight of pork
per bushel Much of the difference be-
tween boiled corn and meal is accounted
for by the fact that the corn is not
boiled long enough to burst the kernel
and break all the starch grains. Heat
acts more rapidly and effectually upon
the starch grains after the tough skin of
corn is broken and ground to powder.

THE FARMER.
Farm Dependency

One of the principal advantages in
keeping up the fertility of the farm, is
that 1t places the farmer in a condition
to increase the number of stock kent on
the farm. Fertility of soil is an import
ant item, not only with the cultivate d
fields but with he..meadows and pastures
as we'll. If the farm is 10 feed the
largest number of stock possible, keep
ing them IN good, thrifty condition, it
Is very important that every acre on the
farm should be made to yield the largest
possible crop, and n nice soil is the
foundation of this. 1t requires good
management-good farming-to grow
crops every year and at the same time
build up the fertility, yet it can be done
by adopting regular system of rotation,
keeping sufficient number of stock to
consume all the products of the farm,
making, saving, and applying all the
manure possible; taking pains to secure
the largest yield by thorough prepare
tluG, good seed and cultivation.
A rich soil rs one important item, but
in addition, if the best yield is secured,
1T mus! be well prepared, the seed be of
good quality and carefully planted in
good season, and then through cultiya-
ton be given at the right time and i'll
the proper manner. A failure of any
one of these essential conditions will
affect the growth and yield, and in doing
this will affect indirectly the number of
stock that can be kept upon the farm.
And anything that increases or decreases
the yield of the crops affects the number
of stock that can be kept, and the sup
ply of manure is dependent very largely
upon the number of stock kept, so that
III through a system of farm operations,
one part is dependent upon the other,
and the increasing of one increases all

Advantages of Small Apiariss.

Unless extra care and attention to de
tails is given, large business of anv
kind is not SO successful in proportion
to its size as a small one. This appIies
as truly to the honey business as to
others. Among those who are largely
engaged in the apiary business there are
those who advocate placing the Lac -
small apiaries, and give good reasons
for it. Christian Weckesser, of Mar
shallv lie, Ohio, is one of them. This is
What he says of 1t:
This season has put an additional
impetus to my Impressions that It is well
to have the bees in small apiaries of
twenty to thirty colonies, one or two
miles apart, where practical, unless the
location is well stocked. Ny home
apiary of sixty to seventy colonies this
year gave no surplus. and were consid-
erably short of sufficient winter stores;
while "a small out-apiary OF twelve colo
MES gave almost enough surplus to sup
Ply the deficiency of those at home; and,
besides, they are in better condition for
winter, and did not need as much atten-
ton. In good honey season, this ar
rangement may be considerably moro
troublesome; but the feature of being
almost sure that they will be IL good
condition for winter, without feeding
even if the season is poor, will offset
considerably more trouble in good
season, while, if things are properly ar
ranged, this additional trouble can I'M
doubtedly be reduced to a minimum, es-
pecially if the bees are run principally
for extracted honey; in which case, if
Simplicity hives are used, and TERED up
with sufficient empty combs, at the be-
ginning of the season, little attention
need be given nor apprehensions of
swarming entertained until, when the
season is ended and the honey is sure to
be we'll ripened, it can be extracted.

ON LEAVING IRELAND.
BY 8, MOORE.

The mists obscured the mountain peaks,
And hid their hoary heads.
While through the cloud-chinks glory streak
lllumed the verdant meads
Which shcne like patch work in the glen,
Mid fields of upturned soil,
Where many group of hardy men
Pursued their cheerful toll.
Cockfobin every now and then
Would sing his little trill,
While thrush and blackbird down the glen
Sung loye-songs louder still.
The noisy streamlets, in their flight
Adown the hazel dell,
Kept up a hum of sweet delight
Like TO the organs swell.
Twas spring, the time of love and flowers,
When earth is all agiow,
And genial heat and gentle showers
Cause seed and plants to grow.
The hawthorn blossom sweetly shed
Its odors on the gale,
And Plora in profusion spread
Her gems 0 or hill and dale. y
Twas love and beauty all around,
But grief within my heart,
The morn had come and | was bound
Wi friends and home to part
Twas hard to tear my heart away
And break the magic spell
Which bound me to INV home that day
! bade my friends farewell.
But Why dwell on the parting scene,
The tear besprinkled face
The prayer-the look of faith serene,
he kiss and fond embrace.
All past, vet in my memory still
The scene appears as when
/ took Che last look from the hill
OF my dear native glen.
Though many year since then has fed,
And many change has come;
Most of the loved ones now are dead
Who bless ed my childhood's home.
let still, no matter where / rove
The fairest spot ON earth
Shall be that hallowed home of love
Where l received my birth.

Live Stock Notes.

LEAKY roof on the barn or stable
not only entails loss through damage
from moisture, but also Injuries the
health of the stock.
The best way to put bulls and STALL
ions at work is to use them in supplying
tread power. BY this mode they can be
more easily controlled. Even rams and
goats can supply power for churns.
If your supply of hay is short use
your straw and corn fodder as part of the
daily ration. Any deficiency in the
coarse food can be supplied with extra
grain. In fact, any ration can be bal
anced by the judicious use of ground
grain and cotton seed or linseed meal.

THE HOUSEkE nPER.
Household Suype stionS.

DARK carpets do not need to be swept
oftener than light ones, if you give them
good busting, say twice a week, with
a flannel cloth tied around an ordinary
broom.
IF you are building, put the hooks in
children's bedroom closets low enough
to be easily reached by them. 1t is also
good idea to have a closet so arranged
that sleds, rocking horses, and all large
playthings can have place.
RAGS, unless of new cloth or one
knows they are clean, should be washed
before being put in the bag; and 1t must
be remembered that rags which may APP
pear clean to the sense of sight may be
Objectionable to that of smell.
OLD tablecloths, which are thin in
spots, will last long time if the best
parts are made into dish towels; also
Lancaster or other spreads, when past
use on beds, may be utilized rs face
towels; being rough, they answer in a
measure for those known as Turkish.
In teaching child to unite a double
bow knot-that is. one with two loops
be sure he has hold of both ends of the
strings before he begins to pull, else
the chances are that he will get 1t into
hard knot, which will require much
time ana patience on MS part, or less on
that of the teacher, to get out
A CONVENIENT article for a house
keeper is a kindling box. 1t is an OBJ
long box, long enough to hold kindling
wood, having partition through the
middle, thus making a place for shay
ings also. The partition should be
higher in the middle than the top of the
box, and contain n slit wide enough to
allow the. four fingers to enter, thus
forming n handle.
IT sometimes happens that a house
keeper by changing her stove for new
one, or by purchase at auction, or in
some other way, finds herself in pos
session of a kettle steamer which is too
small for the hole of the stove. In such
case an iron ring, made to fit inside
the hole will remedy the trouble and al
low the use of the utensil. These rings
may be obtained of n stove dealer.
