Daisies.
At evening when | go to bed

At evening when l go to bed
| sec the stars shine overhead;
They are the little daisies white
That dot the meadow of the night.
And often while I'm dreaming so,
Across the sky the moon will go;
1t i a lady, sweet and fair,
Who comes to gather daisies there.
For when at morning | arise,
There's not star left in the skies;
She picked them all and dropped them
down,
Into the meadows of the town.

Fattening Poultry.

No green food is now desirable. All
you are aiming for is to put addi-
tional flesh upon these fowls, and to do
this in the shortest possible time. SO
long rs they eat well they will increase
IN weight, up to a certain period, treat
ed in this manner, and two or three
weeks will bring them to their best.
If they become clOycd. and lose their
appetite at an early date. after thus
being cooped up, kill them off at once.
They have reached the most prOfiia BILE
day of their existence, and will no
longer improve in the desired direction.
In this simple way we have fattened
many previously well kept fowls in
three weeks time salts factOrily, and
we have known many hundreds thus
faLtened that have dressed handsomely
in some days less time; the mode thus
briefly recommended being economical,
as well as expeditions, clearly, and
very convenient. A greater amount
OF flesh can be produced in proportion
to the grain fed, when confinement is
resorted to, and, if the prisoners are
well attended, and the term of incar-
ceratiOn does not last too long, there i:
not much danger of disease.

Failure of RanchlnR,

There is, we believe, one reason
ranching and farm operations than
any other, unless it be tiryng to do
too much with too little capital (and
they are apt to go hand in HANDY and
that is working at cross purposes.
There is no business in the world that
will stand this kind of manae ement,
and the farm and ranch may be ruined
by it almost as soon as any other. For
instance: A man concludes that he
will grade up his stock and accordingly
purchases bulls of a certain beef breed.
lie has been to the fairs and noticed
perhaps that Short horns were the
best looking animals there, but he
does not take into consideration the
care that was required to produce
these results. He buys animals that
have been used to all the care and at
tentiOn that it was possible to give
them and throws them into his range
without protection, and perhaps with
out feed summer or winter other than
what they can gather for themselves.
The result is Disappointing; if the
bulls live over the first year they
probably do not get half II dozen calves
each, the second season. The prone
ness of man to attribute his misfortune
to anything rather than his own mis-
management leads him to curse the
breed and try another rather than
build shelter and provide feed. He
hears of some one who is having sue
cess with Herefords, Polled Angus,
Devons or some other breed and i'm
mediately selects that with little if
any better results. Texas StOckman.

The Draft-Horse interest.

II is wonderful how America has
advanced in practical appreciation oil
the draft-horse interest A few years
ago, says the Western Agriculturist,
many thought the half bloods too large
and heavy to use on the farm; to-day
we see high grades as large as full
bloods on many farms, and they arc
now as well appreciated where they
have been tried on American farms as
on the European farms where the full
blood heavy draft horse is the agricul-
tural horse. The grade draft mares
quite generally are kept for the farm
work and for breeding. More useful or
valuable animals can not be found on
any farm than few hIgh-grade draft
mares. Some are too often tempted
by the big prices to sell their best
mares, but that is like selling the
goose that lays the golden egg.
Rather breed with a view to raising
the best draft brood mares, and soon
the increased numbers of colts with
improved size and quality will be
mine Of wealth on the farm

Curious Atmospheric Phenomena.

A Boston lawyer, who has returned
from a trip to Maine, tells of n curious
phenomenon existing ut the Livermorc
Falls in that State. At the foot of one
of the dams the descending water seems
to be driven back with so much force
that halfway up the column of water
there is an ever-moving line of water,
like crease in piece of cloth. This
has an effect upon the surrounding at
mosphere that is almost incredibly great
The phenomenon is not observable at al
times, but when the ''wave" is visible

IN tne ar at some distance from the fall
are observed to vibrate perceptibly in !,
regular movement. The vibration while
perceptible at the time when the "waven
can be seen, seems to stop almost in
stantiy after the ''wave" disappears, and
1t seems almost certain that ths latter
causes the former. Boston Adsertsey.

Spiders Webs.

A well-known naturalist who has been
studying the habits of the spider saws
that the insect can get along nicely until
old age overtakes him. Each spide, has
the power of spinning certain quantit
of web When he has spun himself out
he is in bad way, not only because he
has no home, but because he has no
chance to obtain food. The life of a
spider is as full of luck as that of man.
If he constructs his web in an out t-of-
the-way place it will last him long
time, but if he happens to spin it where
a woman with the broom can reach he
VIII likely soon fir d himself spun out.
AS long as he remains strong he is all
right, for he can overpower the young
spiders and steal their webs. When he
can no longer fight he becomes tramp.

Inventions Do Not Come by Chance.

The traditions of great discoveries
that have come by chance are, for the
most part, myths. True, a lucky acci-
dent may occasionally give hint to an
inventive mind that will help toward a
long contemplated consummation, but
such an occurrence is only link in n
chain of circumstances all tending to-
ward common end. Sir Isaac Newton
got such hint in his philosophical re
searches when, on a certain occasion, he
noted the falling of an apple. He had
seen many apples fall before that time,
no doubt, and no day of his previous life
could have passed without presenting to
his sight similar occurrences having the
same relation to the object of his study.
But that particular apple happened to
fall and be noticed 10y him just when his
study of the greatest of all philosophical
problems had reached the right point to
make the object lesson valuable. Tradi-
ton gives another alleged accident-the
familiar story of the kettle--as the turn
ing point in the discovery or invention
of the steam engine, but he who studies
the life and works of James Watt will
find that there was nothing accidental in
the kettle accident 1t was but a link in
the long chain, all of whose links he
wrought by patient toll. All the great
triumphs of invention that are now en-
ployed as factors in human progress have
reached their present development by
successive steps. The telegraph of
Edison's time, although like that of
tlke that in detail and in the manner of
operating it. a single invention of Ed
ison 's-not by any means an accident
quadrupled the capacity of all the wires
strung or thereafter to be strung. The
engines that drive great ships across the
Atlantic in less than six days are the re-
suits OF the work of successive eener
ations of brainy men. Millions have
been lost in experiments, change has fol.
lowed change, one improvement has sue
ceeded another, until the marine engine
OF our time bears little resemblance to
that OF thirty years ago. Go into the
press-room OF great newspaper and see |
the printing machines at work making
and folding copies of a twelve-page edi.
ton at the rate of thousand minute,
and you see the result of hundreds of in
ventions, the progress of generations.
Accident has had nothing to do with it.
All has come from work, work of the
best brains stimulated by the desire to
get fame and fortune.-Ihe ncentice
