DANGER EVERY WHERE.


Eternal Vigilance the Price OF Life, Health
and Happiness.
Danger is made to surround every
thing nowadays. The germ theory has
peopled space. air. water and food with
micro-org9nisms that threaten death
or disease on every hand. II a person
were weighed down with q sense Of
these dangers. a. he might well be il
he gave full heed 70 the warnings of
physicians. he might we'll exclaim,
''Oh! me miserable! whittier snail /
ny?" And he could hardly fly to q
place where the microscopic germs of
death would not be present with some
warning physician.
We 60 to bed and behold! there 10
death in the pillow. A medical journal
bids US take note of the fact that dis
ease and death Turk in the very pill
lows and holsters on which We lay
heads. Whether this is so or not, the
moral that is drawn from il ia good,
and that is. ''bedding ought to be
opened periodically. SO that its con-.
tents may bebeaten with sticks" In
France bed cleansing is followed a. q
regular trade.
Then again. the hiring Of clothes 10
dangerous. In cities it has become an
everyday matter to hire wearing ap-
parel. particularly dress suits, and
these suits are wor by men Of all
sorts, of all associations, and possibly
by men who have some infectious dis
ease. II the wearer has not such .
disease. the clothing may be worn in .
place or among people where disease
germs will be taken away in the meshes
Of the cloth. Costumes for masquerades
and theatricals are worse yet, for they
are more especially worn by the lowest
rs we'll as by the highest, by the vicious
and depraved as we'll As by the decent
and respectable; and these costumes
are rarely or never washed and are
used until they are Wort out.
Books, too. are dangerous. Rub the
finger over clean sheet. and q thin
streak Of dirt, Precipitation and skin
cells is the result. Once reading q
volume through leaves q minute de-
posit on every page touched. from
from title page to finish. Sick people
leave germs Of their diseases. BY de.
grees the hollows fill up. the oil of the
skin tinges the pages and the book be-
comes dirty. Under the microscope
this detritus is heterogeneous, loose.
moist and decaying. One germ intro
duced into it will breed and produce
millions of bacteria and these will live
for unlimited time in the rich soil that
has been gathered from a hundred
hands. It is q soil for the germs of
scarlet fever. smallpox and various
blood diseases. Cleanliness is moi only
next to Goodness. but it is next to life
and health. and though the germ scare
may be %overdoue. yet it will produce
good results in the hands of intelli-
gent people.-Good Housekeeping.

BEYOND n HlLL.'


Long. long ago. when life was sweet,
AND days with love and hope replete.
1 hSed where shade and sunshine meet,
Beside . rill.
! used to gaze, with wondering ewes.
Awav % where the hil,-tops rise
Where, bending low. the purple skies
Csressed the hill.
The blue rim Of the horizon.
The vaulted skies At rest thereon.
And over all. the yellow sun
Poured mellow light.
MY fancy. with . strange unrest,
Went often to the far-on crest
Of hills low lying toward the west
With eager flight.
What strange new things beyond might hide
My world SO ~narrow-that how widei
What was it on the other side:
questioned still.
TIL one sad day, my restless feet
Went out across the me2dow-sWeet-
Went gayly out. the world to greet
Beyond the hill.
How long I journeyed-where I LEFT
The blue hills which the distance cleft,
Or how, or when, OF hope bereft,
do not know.
The way led through . weary night,
And DER my spirits fell q blight:
The path grew rough and chill and white
With frost and snow.
It seemed the time was years and years,
The way. through leagues and leagues Of team,
And /, beset with doubts and fears
And longings vain.
The world I found was wide and cold.
And hard and selfish; fame nor gold
Could comfort me: and I grew old
Through grief and pain.
Butsometimes through my team would rise
Strange visions OF those purple skies
And wooded hills and golden dyes
That knew NO chill;
And comforting my wild despair.
Allow voice whispers: lover there
Is life and love, and rest from care
Beyond the Hill"

Glover should b cut reasonably

The general farmer can scarcely

Because fruit is plenty and. con-

sidered advisable to allow any to go to

ON FARMS.

II Properly Managed the Birds Can h
Made to ray The Taxes.
To make poultry pay on the farm
some attention must be paid to it.
Start with . good breed. give them
plenty Of food and good warm winter
quarters. Leghorns and Light Brah-
mas are good layers and make good
market fowls. l think it pays the far
mer to keep geese. ducks and turkeys
ID we'll as chickens. Provide q winter
house for each kind. well ventilated.
with glass windows, and so arranged
that you can control the temperature
within. Thus equipped. there is 10
difficulty in getting eggs when they
are highest in price. Poultry should
be fed three times q day, regularly. and
supplied with pure. clean water at all
times. A spring brook flowing through
the yard is the best water arrange
ment Give a variety of food. I find
that sunflower seed is excellent. once q
day. Coru and meat. with lime and
ashes, will produce eggs. Supply
ashes and dust to wallow in at will.
The anu from the yard is valuable
and should be carefully saved.
Turkeys are harder to manage than
chickens, rs they r not 20 hardy and
require more care in feeding and shell
tering from rain and cold. Young tur-
keys should always be shut up till the
dew is Of, and during inclement
weather. After they are three months
old they will be out Of danger. Ducks
and geese r profitable for feathers
and as market fowls. Wherever q pond
can be fenced in. 20 IS to confine geese
and ducks. they should be kept. They
bring good prices in market. when fat.
They should be kept in q yard, with .
pond in it They thrive better. il yard
and pond are not too small than when
to roam over the farm.
Every farm a support the various
fowls spoken of. without materially in
creasing the expenses, and If. properly
managed. and their products utilized.
they will pay the taxes-Cor. Ohio

REMEDIES FOR TREES
Popular Notions Based Neither On Notu
Nor Common Sense.

Popular Notioss Based Neither On Mature
Nor Common Sense.
Vegetable life is less understood BY
the public than that Of animals and
men. It Is no wonder. therefore, that
quacks abound who prescribe their
nostrums Is saRely a. il they really
knew something. One of the most
common notions Of these fellows Is to
bore holes into the trees. and, after
inserting sulphur or some other COM
pound. plug it up. relying on the now-
ing sap to take it into the circulation.
As we'll open q mans veins and inject
medicines into them. Trees have roots
which are their mouths. and any thing
that Is good for them placed in the
soil anywhere near. these roots will
find. Repulsive and even dangerous
medicines may be forced down the
throat Of animal Or man. but We know
no way in which . tree or plant can be
forced to take any thing that Is not for
its good. Its instinct a. to that il

little or no mauurial value, there il
often difficulty in explaining their good
effects. One way they help il to make
. mulch. Coal ashes are light, and
the fact that they have not much
manurial value makes them all tho
better for keeping down grass. which
depletes the soil Of the moisture that
the trees need. Three or four inches
depth Of coal ashes spread under trees
keep the coil beneath moist and cool.
II they m spread N sod they kill the
