DUTCH LULLABY.

wynken, Blynkin and Nod one night
Sailed off in . wooden shoe
Sailed on q river of misty light
Into q sea of dew.
"where are you going and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked of the three.
1--WE have come to fish tor the herring-fs
That live in this beautiful ses:
Nets of silver and gold have we,'
Said Wynken,
Blynkn,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang q song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
RULED the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring. fsh
That lived in the beautiful sea
"Now, cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never afeared are we''-
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynk0n,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all SO pretty sail, 1t seemed
And some 'G foit tn thought U tw.. . dream they
OF sailing that beautiful sea-
But shall name you the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken.
And Nod.
wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod 10 . little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is q wee ones trundle-bed;
SO shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

ASPARAGUS.

There is probably no vegetable that is
so absolutely superb to the delicate appc-
tite of the cpicure as the first delicious
cuttings of early asparagus. Although
native Of Europe and Asia, it has become
common in this country as to he almost
naturalized in many places, having found
its way into the fields and sometime,
being seen on beaches and marshv place,
on the sea coast. Soil and location have
probably more to do with the raising of
fine asparagus than anything else, and OF
the many different varieties introduced
into cultivation at different times few of
them have differed greatly from the
original
Although asparagus grows very readily
from seeds, we have found that the spe-
cial characteristics of improved strains
are not so certain Of reproduction rs when
the propagation is effected by planting
the roots. Most of our prominent grow
ers prefer to plant oIc-y -ycar-o!d roots, al
though two-year and three year arc often
used. The asparagus bed should hc five
feet wide and any desirable length, ac-
cording to the size of the family. Il
should be well cultivated, two fee, deep
and well manurcd. Three rows Of plants
will suffice to each bed; tlr plants
should stand one foot apart in the row,
and the crowns should be well covered
four inches deep; a good deep soil with
a sandy bottom will be found most suita
bic, as the plants do not thrive well in a
wet, stiff soil. AS soon rs the tops arc
cut down in the fall cover with a top
dressing of coarse manure, which may be
forked early in the spring. A partial
cutting may be made the third year, but
it will add materially to the vigor of the
plants if none ,bc got until the fourth
year In locations away from the scashorc
top dressing of two pounds of coarse
salt to the square yard will be found ben
e6cial. The asparagus is naturally a
maritime plant, this being the reason why
salt acts so bcncfiicially. --McO YorA

THE OTHER SIDE OF sILAGE.

The facility with which fodder NAV go
into silo is of less Importance than the
condition in which it may come out.
There are many points to be considered
and settled before the farmers Of this
State will be prepared to adopt the silo
generally. Professor J. w. Sanborn has
always been opposed to the system. His
eighth bulletin is devoted to the details
Oh Carefully conducted experiments in
feeding silagc against dry fodder and
comparing results: Corn fodder may
be successfully dry stored, and more
cheaply than in the green state. A
given amount of dry food stored lasts
longer than the same amount put in sio.
"Silagc-fcd steers made less substan-
tial growth than those dry-fe1, and
probably did not make really the great
growth OF solid natter Dry fodder
for cows proved more effective than
silagc, producing the richest and best
milk. "Dry food gave the best butter,
which seemed to keep better" Dry
food is more chcaply handled, and COWS
maintain their live weight best upon it.
The air-drying method with dry storage
in good barn in compact forln is dc.
cidedly the more economical method Of
the two.-IiarJord Times.

CLIMBING TO . ToPIN BREEDING.


There are III. a., farmers who have
made a. sturt IN tho right d;toytivn IN
horse breeding. They have sllid,ed over
the matter and have concluded that lit
paid to breed better horses and have acted
upon this inspiration, says the INotjo,irL
Stockman. They h,sVc vcntcrcd to nav
ten dollars for the service of a right goJd
stallion, whereas they heretofore hA}c
thought that three or five dollars. w bs
enough for colt from: aqNIorsc. So
far SO good. 1t is the initial step, and
they should be congratulated Hp0a taking
it. 1t will he easier to Get s1iTcsSc SAME
men to pay the service price which pure
bred, hrst-class horse can he offered 1T
thereafter than if they had ;bqrn content
to stick to the two for five kind Wtcn
the marketable age arrives and tMhsrfprG
entcrprisn% ncighbors rccciyc fifty or a
hundred per cent. more for their young
horses than they ,lo, although thcy'havc
higher priced stock than they ever had
before, they will be ready to- 'fiIl'm line
with the most progressive, and breed and
raise nothing but the best 1t requires
time to make n change Of as much i'm
portance as a step from the mongrel to
the pure bred indicates, but it will be
time well spent if those most interested
can only abide it and wait the better day
coming. The time is coming when the
average breeder of horses will know as
well as any one the advantages derived
from keeping at the top of the ladder.

FARM AND GARDEN -%oTEs.

You may keep as many fowls rs YOU
wish; but they should be in small tiocks
Be sure and store away turnips, car
rots and potatoes for the hens this win
ter.
Poultry reared with free range of or
chard and meadow are the largest and
finest in plumage and symmetry.
Has it ever been your experience that
no ventilation makes sinking hen houses;
and improper ventilation breeds disaster!
Has it ever occurred to you that build
ing at five cents per pound paper on the
inside of your hen house may save birds
worth dollar.
There are few things that contribute
clorc toward making Il happy home than
a good table. and plenty of chickens,
ducks, and eggs will always guarantee
this.
II the fioor of the hen coop is of Garth,
it will pay to dig out six inches of it and
spread it rs manure upon any field that
needs enriching, and replace it with fresh
sandy loan.
The PcNin duck is without doubt the
i!'NS I'I'uidl 'lutN lDI MI 'tce'si..3
that we have. It's only rivals are the
Aylcsbury and Roucn, but it still main
talus an easy lead of both.
The solution uf ,lr diflluui;y In dairy
inG is to "know more" about the bust
ness, so that VIC may be prepared to re-
du"c the cost of production, and still
make as much profit as ever.
A slipshod method will never pay, anG
the market gardener needs to turn over {
new leaf, and do as is now done IN Other
branches of business, apply as far as pos
sihlc labor saving machinery.
Don't water your plants too often nor
give them too much water. When the
soil looks dry they need water Good
drainage ut the bottom Of the pot will
obviatc some ot the danger cf drowning
the plant.
Don't burn the leaves as they fall
Gather them from streets or other places
where their presence is not desired and
use them as bedding in the stable for
cattle or horses, as mulch, as covering in
winter for teaGer plants and aftcrward as
manure.
If you are feeding grain to your ducks
or ducklinGs, give it to them in their
wafer trough under two or three inches
Of water. They enjoy hunting in the
water for their grain, and, too, the plan
will prevent their "gobbIing," as they
will always do if the feed be thrown on
the ground.
The average weight Of Bronze turkeys
is thirty two counds, some have reached
forty pounds in weight at two years old.
A y"arlinG Bronze should weigh about
twenty five pounds. Turkeys are seldom
marketed before the middle Of Novem
Der and December. They should bo
pcnncd up and faticd for ten days before
killing. This not only increases the
weight but adds to the quality.
Sometimes when very heavy grain
crop has been grown the field is more
easily prepared for wheat seeding by
burning over the stubbc. A few fur
rows should he plowcd next the
fences, to prevent the fire spreading
where not wanted. Oat stubble, how
ever large, does not burn as easily rs that
Of wheat. It's stalk is not so firm. In
burning wheat stubble many Hcssan
flies will usually be destroyed, thus max
ing il safer to SOW wheat after wheat.

A Rival to Coffee,

TIL" diminishing production OF coffee
in Brazil has given rise to the suggestion
th;v The cultivation Of the kola nut rs Il
substitute for coffee should be under
taken in Ccylon. As StimuIant and an
article of food, possessing the essential
qualities of coffee, it is said to be even
richer. The koa nut is indigenous in
Western Africa, but has been produced in
Other tropical countries, and is, in fact,
now growing in Ccylon. Hitherto this
product has been chiefly put to medicinal
uses, but its acccptability as beverage
is growing tsayg the Ceylon H0iD, and it
ihas high value because of its power OF
icnablinG men to sustain great effort or to
icndurc prolonged fasting. Nothing is
said as to the price at which this article
can be produced, nor rs to its capacity to
cOmpctc commercially with coffee, prob.
ably because the cultivation has not yet
been carried on upon large scale. The
iN"H is 6f opIhlcR, too; that the plant
1nay be made much more productive than
it now is, little effort having hitherto
been made to raise it above the state in
which it IS found growing wild in the
countries whc'c it is indigenous. Since
the successful Introduction Of tea into
CeyIon strong desire has been mani.
tested in the island to promote the cult.

COMPOSITE NOVEL WRITING.
One Authors Story Wound Up Suddenly by

One Authors Story Wound Up Suddenly by
Another.
MAJOR Calhoun, one of the most pro-
life of modern story writer's, and Louis
Neuman, who is the author of three
composite novels, adapted from the
German, Spanish ard italian, were
comparing experiences q few days ago.
81 once had a rather exciting passage
with Nod Buntline," said the Major.
HE was writing n story for a weekly
paper, on which we wore both frequent
ly engaged, when he took sudden VA
cation. The publishers were in di-
lemma, as they had but q singular in-
stallment ahead. / was sent for and
y told to read the chapters already print
ed, and then to set to work and finish
up the story in one or two install
ments.
1.-THE multiplicity of characters puz
zled me. Finally resolved to get rid
of some of them, and adopted very
original method. L put number OF
them on board an excursion steamerian
then exploded her boilers, sending
them to kingdom come. With the rest
l worked out plot to n climax. and
wound mp the story"
THAT reminds me-" said Neuman,
"of somewhat similar incident that
occurred in Paris. A highly sensational
story was running in one of the daily
papers, aud the chief had few install
ments on hand when the brilliant young
author took it into his heal to go off
and get married. Then he set out on
wedding tour, which was to last week.
The installments were soon used up,
and another member of the staff was
directed to wind up the story. He sent
the heroine to watery grave in the
River Seine; he poisoned the hero /;
slew the able who was the sole witness
of the mari iage, and closed the tale in
most tragic and narrowing manner 1t
was dark and weird success, YOU
may believe. At the end Of the week
the author showed up. He had with
him several installments which he ten
dered to his chief.
@'Your story is finished NJ said
the editor.
pardon me- said the undaunted
novelist, 1T is not finished. have here
the continuation, and there is more to
enc. Indeed, tho best part of it is
here
'Tchut, exclaimed tho chief. why
insist? J say it is finished. NJ had
to do it in your absence
Il am aware that he wrote several
chapters, said the unblushirg roman
GER; but if you will kindly read TIM
manuscript, l am surc YOU will agree
with me that am right
"The manuscript was rns-ed over,
and to the chiefs surprise it was re-
markably dramatic sequel to the story
The heroine, instead fbeing drowned,
was rescued by some fishermen on the
river below Paris; the hero wns saved
by a medical friend who applied the
stomach pump in time, ard the abbe rc
covered from his wounds and was on
hand to bless the nuptials of the happy
pair.
"My friend" said The comros ito
novelist, as he turned 10 the contem-
rlation of n Portuguese book on short
horned cattle. which he was trapslat-
ing for Mexican ianchcro, there is no
obstacle that true genius cannot over
come"

:, question why it is that sheep winter well
on straw alone. As straw is usually fed
more freely than hay, the animals make

Besides cheapncss, straw has this to rec

one can readily tell that straw keeps the
