Sissy Was Equal to the Emergency.

Sissy was Equal TO the Emergency
4 lady friend tells of funny thing
that occurred at her home the other
day. It seems her little boy, aged five,
wanted badly to go down street with
mamma, but was told, perhaps a little
sharply that he could lot go because
he had been bad and had torn his
trousers. Sissy, aged six, listened
to the conversation with wide open and
sympathetic eyes, and her heart was
evidently with ''Bruvver." The lady
missed them in 8 few minutes, but was
speedily informed Of the whereabouts
of the aggrieved pair by a shrek Of
pain from Bruvver. She rushed into
the next room, then sank down on the
floor, convulsed with laughter at the
funny sight. There was poor BruvYer
on hands and knees, his face wet with
tears, and bowling dOIefully, but not
shrinking from the pain inflicted upon
him by Sissy. That motherly young
lady was Just behind him, her face ex-
pressing the tenderest sympathy, but
industriousIy sewing away at a big rent
in the seat of the young mans trousers,
and ever now and then taking a stitch
in his fat flesh. The mother separated
the hemstitched hero from his trousers,

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
BESSY'S DREAM.

Dear little Bessy, al tired with play.
Sat down to rest on a warm, sunny day,
Under the shade Of an applo-tree,
By the side of the brooklet growing.
She wore a white bonnet and pink gingham
dress,
And what sweet picture was dear little Bess,
With her sunny hair, so wild and free,
Over her shoulders fiowingi
The murmuring brook, as it glided by,
whispered 70 Bessy sweet lullaby;
heY eyes grew heavy, her curly head dropped,
Aud soon she was fast asleep.
She scarcely had slept but moment or two,
When throe little fairies, all dressed in bright
blue,
Softly down from the apple-tree hoped,
And into her eyes did peep.
Finding her sleeping, they made slight sound,
And soon all the fairies came hov'ring around,
They took of her bingham and dressed her in
silk,
And one little fairy said:
''Dear Bessy, we've come to invite you to tea,
Our food is as dainty as dainty can be-
Sweetest OF honey and best of milk
Come, for our table is spread"
She woke with start, and opened her eyes,
When what do you think was her great sur
prise3
No fairy table was waiting near,
And in place of her robe OF silk
She wore her white bonnet and pink gingham
dress;
And instead of the fairy-do you think you can

EGGS IN WINTER.
How to Feed and Care for Chickens
Cold Weather.

How to Feed and Care for Chickens In
Cold Weather.
To obtRin breed of fowls that are
layers the year round is the object that
many aim at. This, however, is i'm
possible, as nature requires period Of
rest. There is a difference in breeds,
some laying better than others during
the winter. There is little difficulty
in obtaining eggs in the summer, but
the winter eggs must be worked for,
and the chickens managed beforehand.
Fowls that have laid well during the
summer can not keep it up during the
fall and winter, even if we'll fed, but if
the birds are not too old they will COM
mence again in March or even IN Feb
ruary. Do not keep fat birds during
the winter. They do not lay well and
should be killed for the table, Do not
keep birds over two or three years. as
the flesh OF old birds is not the best for
food. To obtain a supply of eggs during
the winter. the chicks should be out in
March and April, at least for the Brah-
mas and Cochins, as they should have
full season for growth. Leghorns and
some of the smaller breeds will do in
May or early June. The Asiatics are
generally good winter layers and need
less warmth, but must be we'll fed and
regularly. The feed must be kept up
and varied with animal and vegetable
diet. 1t takes long time of feeding
before the eggs will come. Suspend a
cabbage within easy reach; they will
know what to do with it. The supply
of water must be looked after. ! gener-
ally have piece of rusty iron in tho
water, and when too cold take the chill
off by warming the water above the
stove. Any breed of hens will consume
large quantity of feed before COM
mencing to lay, but when once started
they will not require or take so much
grain. When laying their craving is
for animal and vegetable substances
and crushed oyster or clam shells.
Making warm stews on cold days is u
good plan and the birds like it. Take
pork and beef scraps, some onions,
corn meal and little pepper. Chop
this up fine and put in an old kettle
half filed with water. Give this about
two or three o'clock in the afternoon
and it will warm them from the cold at
night. ".. r "'.e...t s,a.,
Having large shallow box of dry
earth in the hen house is also good
thing. Some prefer the Plymouth
Rocks, but ], for my part. have always
had better success with Brhhmas and
Cochins, and have always succeeded in
having good supply of eggs during
the winter.-Cor. Detroit Free Press.

FARM AND FIRESIDs.

There should be a supply of red
peppers kept during the winter to be
fed to poultry with their regular food.
Good feeding racks always return
a large interest upon the money in
vested. 1t never pays to throw feed OF
any kind upon the ground.-Farn,
Field and Stockn,an. 1
No greater error in judgment is
ever committed by any farmer than to
suppose that painstaking work is not
paying work. You\ never hear those
who are succeeding hest and who are
making the money expressing them
selves in this way.
All birds should be picked and
drawn as soon as possible after being
killed. To do this properly every pin
feather should be removed. and the
bird should be singed, then drawn, the
head and feet cut off, the. oil-bag re-
moved and the wind-pipe taken out.
The giblets should be dressed.
The great secret in making under
draining permanent improvement is
in securing uniform fall when laying
the tile and maintaining good outlet.
When this outlet has been closed a year
or two, if there be a good fall, reopen
ing it will cause it to wash out OBJ
structing sediment. ttt
Many farmers lose eggs in wigtAr
by leaving one behind as nest-ek -.
1t is much more profitable to buy a few
glass ones than to have good eggs
frozen when worth four or five cents
each. Glass eggs will not cost over
three or four cents each, and will last
any length of time with care. Collect
eggs as soon after they are laid as pos
sible, in cold weather; otherwise they
will get chilled and will not hatch.
Apple Omelet: Pare, core and
stew six large, tart apples as for sauce;
beat them very smooth while hot,
adding one tablespoon of butter. six
tablespoons of white sugar, nutmeg to
the taste, and one teaspoon of rose
water; when quite cold add three eggs,
beaten separately very light, putting
in the whites last; pour into a deep
pudding dish, previously warmed and
well buttered. Bake in moderate
oven until it is delicately Drowned.
Eat warm, not hot.
Lime may not show its beneficial
effects on the soil for year or two, as
the character of the soil must be con-
sidered. Lime ad DIS but verv little
valuable plant food to the soil, as all
soils contain lime, but its chemical
action on the inert matter of the soil
liberals other substances that would
not be otherwise available. 1t should
be applied as regularly as manure, in
order to secure it's assistance in de-
composing the plant food already ex-
listing in the soil.
Clam Pie: Wash clean twenty
good-sized CLANS, put them in a pan
and pour three pints of boiling water
over them, cover them tigh tly until
the shells open, take out the CLAIMS
and chop them quite fine. Make a
crust as for chicken-pie, line three,
quart basin with it, and put in the
chopped clans, season with butter and
pepper. Pour over this the water in
which the shells were opened and dust
two rolled crackers over the top.
Cover the whole with crust and bake
in quick oven.-RuraL New Yorker.

Respect Your Own Calling.

Much as we may feel chagrined
and disguised at the non-apprecia-
ton of our interests on the part Of
those who pull the wires and weld
the rings in political maneuvering
yet farmers can bat admit, if they
are candid and stop to study the sit
uation, that they themselves are in a
large measure at fault in the matter.
Certainly it belongs to farmers them
selves first to respect their calling.
Are they cultivatingth feeling with
in themselves that theirs is the no.
blest calling among men, and are
they educating into the minds of
their children the same sentiment?
Surely they can give only one an
swer to this question. Secondly, are
they with brave front and strong
effort coming forward in their united
strength and asserting the rights, the
privileges and attentions their bust
ness calls for? Certainly not. Then
it is foolish to expect Others to do it,
and folly to lament that it is not
done. Farmers, it must not be ex-
pected that others will come forward
to do better for you than you are do
ing for yourselves.-Maine Farmer.

Prosaic but True.

Nothing more sensible was ever
written upon marriage than the fol-
lowing from the pen Of Marian Har-
land:
Marriage is not transformation.
John will be as cross when he is hun
cry, as glum when distraught with
business anXieties, as uncomfortable
when his collar chafes his neck,-in
a word, as human and as fallible a
John, welded, as single. He is a
good son and brother, yet betrothed
Mary has heard him speak impa-
tiently to his mother and tartly to
his sister. He will, upon what he
reckons as sufficient occasions, be
both curt and petulant with his wife
when once the "new-chy" has worn
off. Were this not true he would be
an angel, and angels do not wear
tweed business-suits and derby hats,
or have dyspepsia and smoke more
than is wholesome for his nerves and
pocket. Bills are never presented to
cherubim at most ingeniously incon-
venient times, and seraphim have
no natural but thin-skinned conceit
that will not brook wisely criticism.
True, the lover never lost his tenn
per or spoke urgently to the affianc-
ed maiden, but he was on his promo
ton in those days. What would you
have? 1t is one thing to risk ones
prospects and quite another to take
safe liberties with ones assured pos
session.
An angel might not be quite con-
tent with Mary's occasional lapses
into untidiness and fretfulness; with
her tears and exactions, her streaky
cakes and curdled mayonnaise. Hus-
bands are men, and wives remain
women through the exorcism Of the
ceremony and the enchantment of
the honeymoon. There is no need
that these truisims should form the
burden of the cynic's song, or
the fact they embody the "motif"
of the harpooner's composition.
