Come. children. and listen awhile to my song
On the brewing of cheerfulness. pure and strong;
For not every method is sure to succeed,
And this one you'll find, will yield just what you

First look at your heart and be you take care
To wash all the selfshness out that is there.
An ounce of indulgence, then, take in your hand,
And Of patience well tried, what amount you COM

For with these, note it well, you dispense,
And stir them we'll round with an ounce of good

Soon soon you will find that your courage will RISE
And the world will be changed to your Frightening

The Holiday soclnI.
IDA SHEPLER.

1t has been decided to hold the holiday
social Thursday and Friday, Dec. 20 and
p, as some of the members cannot
come on the 25th owing to home entertain
ments.
We desire all members to arrive as early
as they can on the day OF the, 26th and re-
main over the 27th. As all trains stop at
Danvile Junction. it would be most con-
venient for you to get off there and take a
street car to the city. and request the
driver to transfer you to the North Yer
million-st. car. and then ask to be put
OF at No. 60S-my home. We expect all
roads to run at reduced rates, as usual,
during the holidays, so the expense Of
coming will not be great, and we hope as
many as possible will be present. Re-
member the invitation is cordially extend
ed to all II. l.. G. members, and none
should hesitate to feel free in accepting
and writing us of your coming.
If all who desire to attend the opera on
the night of the 26th will notify me l will
secure seats in advance, as the house will
evidently be crowded. Most truly,
Howard"

Among the Poultry.

Keep the fowls dry.
Feed a good variety.
See that water is supplied regularly.
1t is Door economy to Oyer-crowd now.
Boiled peas or beans make good poultry
feed.
Burnt corn is the best means of giving the
poultry a supply of charcoal.
An occasional feed of sunhower seed will
make the plumage look brighter.
Gradually increase the feed rations as the
supply OF green food becomes scarcer.
A small quantity of cracklings added to the
corn meal will make it better ration.
The cabbages that have not headed up prop
erly make good feed for poultry in winter.
shed arranged so that the poultry can be
kept dry and yet get out into the open air will
be found quite an advantage.
As the weather gets colder il will be best TO
gather up the eggs more frequently, as TO
avoid having any OF them frozen.
Make it a point to have all the roosts on q
level, and make none of them so high that the
larger fowls cannot fly up conveniently.
Warmth is an essential condition in securing
eggs. The hens must be warm and the fowls
need food that viii aid them to maintain animal
heat.
Turnips is one Of the best green foods that
can be used in winter. They can be fed whole
sliced or cooked and q small quantity of bran
or meal added.
Dressed poultry should be hung up and
allowed to cool thoroughly before packing to
ship; the condition has much to do with the
price received.
Hens must have exercise TO keep healthy and
lay eggs regularly, and giving them place to
scratch is one good way of afording them
chance TO work.
Two parts of glycerine and one of alcohol is
q good remedy FOR frosted combs. These should

not lay until healed up.
Do not feed the fowls for at least twelve
hours before killing, so as TO insure an empty
crop. Pick dry, cool thoroughly and pack
carefully, that they will arrive in market in
good condition.

Sweet Potato Pie.

The unusual item in this latitude, sweet
potato pie, on a hill OF fare the other day

shiny, was past-mistress in the mysteries
of southern cooking. Never again will

her for the recipe.

OTneIets.

As a rule, an omelet is a wholesome and
inexpensive dish, yetsone in the prepare
ton of which cooks frequently fail, owing
to caselessness of detail. With little at
tention the housewife can easily become
perfect cook in this branch as well as 9TH
ers. The flavoring and the ingredients of
omelets may be varied indefinitely, but
the principle is always the same. In max
ing an omelet care should be taken that
the omelet pan is hot and dry. To insure
this put a small quantity of lard into the
pan, let it simmer a few minutes and re-
move it; wipe the pan dry with a towel
and put in little fresh lard, in which the
Omelet may be fried. Care should be taken
that the lard does not burn, which would
spoil the color of the omelet.
1t is better to make two or three small
omelets than one very large one, as the
latter can not be well handled by novice
The omelet made of three eggs is one
recommended for beginners. Break the
eggs separate. Put them into bowl and
whisk them thoroughly with fork. The
longer they are beaten the lighter will the
omelet be. Beat up a teaspoonful of milk
with the eggs and continue to beat until
the last moment before pouring into the
pan, which should be on hot fire. As
soon as the omelet sets remove the pan
from the hottest part Of the fire. Slip a
knife under it to prevent sticking to the
pam When the center is almost firm slant
the pan, work the omelet in shape to fold
easily and neatly, and when slightly
Drowned hold platter against the edge Of
the pan and deity turn it out on to the
hot dish. Salt mixed with the eggs pre-
vents them from rising, and when it is so
used the omelet will look fiabby, yet with

School Girl Friendship.

We formed quartet none could break,
Liz, Kate, and Bess. and l.
A schoolgirl friendship we claimed strong,
And placed our vows full high,
But schoolgirl friendship is a thing
That poets say "prOves glass;
Oft stands the test Of handling rough,
And breaks itself at LAST
We knew that adage all by heart
Ard laughed il down with scorn;
We'd show the one who said such things
That we were better born;
No time could change our love, we knew
Twas booked for worlds beyond.
Not even lover. friend or foe
Could break that written bond.
But Bess with bonnet much awry,
And ribbons pink and blue.
She looked so comic that laughed
And friendship skyward flew.
A trio we now formed at once
And pledged ourselves each one,
To not get veXed at anything
Twas only meant in fun.
An essay written clear and strong,
And one that brought prize,
And Kate declared that Lizzie used
Her books, to plagiarize;
And thus we found ourselves alone,
Myself and Lizzie bright;
The weak ones, we had thrown aside,
But we we're firm and right.

At least | thought so then
But Lizzie's eyes OF Irish blue
Played havoc with most OF men.

And finally not in vain;
That broke the complete iriendsh ip made,
And tore the bond In twain

Indian Corn.
farm. Field and StOckman.


Early estimates OF the agricultural de-
partment placed the corn crop of this
year at 2,000,000,000 bushels, but accord
ing to the Louisville Courier Journal later
calculations, made by those who have
bestowed laborious investigation upon the
subject, raise the figures to 1885,, 292, 900
bushels. If the latter be correct, the In
dian corn yield of 1889 will be consider
ably the largest ever known. Indian corn
is really our most important crop, although
there is less said about it than wheat,
since it is not used in foreign countries,
being consumed entirely at home, princi-
pailv by the farmers who raise il. Wheat
is used for exchange and produces amoney
circulation, while corn does not to great
extent. Should all the wheat raised this
year be placed in the market, its salable
value, at present prices, would be nearly
$500, 100000 but that of corn would be
S700,000,000. The center of corn produc-
tian is moving westward almost as rapidly
as that of wheat This is due to two
causes. The first, apparent to all, is the
recent settlement of the western prairies,
and the other is the failure of the corn
yield to increase in the eastern states OF
the Mississippi valley. The latter is
produced by causes perfectly natural,

the farmers no longer confne their atten-
ton to one or two great agricultural
staples, but diversity their crops, and con-
duct a varied and extensive tillage. They
find it more profitable to raise vegetables
and fruits Tor the great cities, grow vine
yards, establish diaries, plant orchards,
and, by producing many small things,
acquire more OF wealth than they could
from one great crop. Because a state is
first in the production of wheat, cotton
and corn, does not prove that it is more
prosperous than a neighbor which is first
in nothing, but second or third in many
things

Of charges that the former administra.
