be reasonably sure to give fair yield.

SUBURBAN JOYS.


Homeward in the pleasant evening,
In the cleaning Of the May Gay.
Trudged the noble Hiawatha
To his cottage IN the suburbs;
Where he daily missed his breakfast
And the first train that he ran ior.
Now his heart was glad within him.
For he bore upon his shoulders.
In his arms and in his pockets
Things to make and stock the garden;
Spade and fork to break the clods up;
Rakes to make them somewhat finer;
Various kinds Of patent weeders-
Mighty good to break the back with.
Dandy things to make the back ache;
Hoe to tickle Mother Earth with.
Till she laughs in weedy harvests:
Primers, clippers, Lines and markers;
Shoyels, trowels, things that no man,
Save the dealer, could have use for.
Seeds in bags with pictures on them;
Pictured fruit OF size gigantic:
Strawberries that looked like apples,
Warranted to bear the first year
Three large quarts to every dozen;
Ample seed that would be bearing
Rosy apples when the frost came:
Peach pits that would be all rea
For the table about harvest;
Pumpkin seed done - so nicely
Marked '.P etas Puritani,"
With q foot note that described it
As an ornamental trailer,
Just the thing to droop in clusters.
Perfumed festoons DER the front porch.
All these tlUhgs and many others
Hiawafha carried homeward,
Laughing as in dreams he saw them
Fill his home with fruit and blossom,
Blooming like the blooms OF Bloomville;
Never thinking that the Seed Man
Went and played him for a sucker.
Such chump is Hiawatha,
When he moves into the country:
Greener is he than the grass blades,
Greener than the broad-leaved plantain
That he cultivates for pansies:
Greener than the Haunting rag weed
That he thinks will turn to asters;
Greener far IS Hiawatha
Than the green things in his garden;
But as lurid as the lightning
When it scathes the mountain forest;
than the brow Of midnight
When It frowns upon the tempest;
Crimson as the angry fire fiend
When it sweeps across the prairies-
Such is Hiawatha's language,
When in casual conversation,
He descants upon the Seed Man.

KEEPiNo MN BUSY.


| 0OW . Couple - Foxes Tired O0t . Canine
Persseutse.
In the spring Il 1883 pair Of REQ
foxes took up their home on Dakota
farm. They dug several holes on q
knoll in q wheat-field. and soon after
four exits" or young foxes, arrived.
Every day. while narrowing and SOW
ing wheat in the field. says the farmer.
! saw the two old foxes lying on the
little mound in front of their home.
The kits rolled about in the sun, played
with the bushy tails of their parents
and enjoyed themselves apparently as
much as group of kittens.
One morning q neighbor came to
work in q field adjoining. bringing
with him a dog. and the dog, with all
the curiosity of his kind. soon began
the investigation of both farms.
He was still long distance from
the fox-den when l heard sharp,
warning bark and saw the kits disap-
pear. As / looked, the mother fox
lay on tho mound, her ears erect, her
nose on the ground, all attention. The
father of the family, with his big tail
swinging in the wind, trotted toward
the dog.
Can he intend to attack him? won
dered I had never heard of such a
thing, and the dog. though not a large
one, was still larger than the fox. But
Reynard knew his business better than
!. He approached the intruder until
the dog saw him, when both stopped
for an instant, and then the dog gave
chase. The fox, with bark of de-
fiance, turned and ran in a direction
away from his home.
At first the dog seemed to gain rap
idly upon the fox, but I watched them
for nearly mile before they disap-
peared in the prairie grass and con-
Guided that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way.
In about an hour the dog returned
from a fruitless chase, and for time
he contentedly followed his master.
Then he began prowling around again.
All this time the mother fox had re-
manned on the mound. a picture of
quiet vigilance, but now, as the dog
ventured near, she rose and trotted
toward him, and the dog was soon
chasing her over the prairie Hardly
had they disappeared when the male
trotted back from some hiding-place
and took the position vacated oy his
mate. The dog returned after a
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to chase, first by the
male and then by the female. and,
while the one kept him busy the other
watched over the young, who did not
show themselves after the first sight
of the dog.
1t is hard to say which we admired
most-the bravery of the pair in chal-
longing the dog to a race that would
have proved fatal had he caught
them, their ingenuity in taking turns
SO that each might be fresh when
chased, their skill in leading him
away from their young or their clev.
erness in throwing him off their track
when far enough away.-Youth' Com

AN UNLUCKY ENGINE.
The Murderous Career and Ulti-
mate Fate of No. 147.

When No. 147 was run into the
yard at Denver. for the first time,
there was not an engineer who saw
her that did not covet the job of
driving her. The men left their
work, and crowded around to look at
her.

Pat Donaghe. IAN it's meself would
like to run her, the darlint
Il wonder who'll get her." said
Jack Merrifield. Il suppose I've no
chance"
II heard 'em saying twas Jem
Donegan had the promise of her."
said Jenny James.
Hes in luck. then" said another
ED like to be him."
Faith, wouldn't thin"
The speaker was an oldish man,
who had not spoken before, and all
the others looked at him in surprise
What's the trouble now, Mike?"
asked James.
II don't like the looks of her. She's
like a handsome woman with no
heart"
This was greeted with yells of
laughter and shouts of derision.
YOU'RE the biggest croaker in the
yard" said Pat ''Who but you
would be talking of q locomotives
heart?"
''Dade, an she has one thin, an a
bad, cruel, wicked heart it is. It's
mischief she'll be dom. and Jem
Donegan will rue the day he lays his
hands upon her." and Mike turned
his back on the new locomotive, and
went to his work again.
The others fingered few moments
longer. admiring No. 147, and envy
ing the fortunate engineer who was to
run her. She was undeniably beau
tiful piece of machinery, and as she
stood on the track before them, she
seemed to pant and culver with life
1t was easy to believe her a sentient
being, and it is not strange that the
men who pass their lives among
engines fall into the habit of endow-
ing them with traits and qualities like
themselves.
But Mikes condemnation had had
its weight. Their admiration tagged.
and they soon went back to their
places with dampened ardor. and more
reconciled to the fate which had
placed her in other hands than theirs.
They remembered his warning
when. few days later, she ran over
and instantly killed an old man who
was walking on the track before her.
Jem Donegan was furious
'Its not 147's fault at ALL" he said,
''git out wild We. Mike. an yer 1 told
We so.' How could 147 help running
over Burns, an him right on the track
before her. an me whistlin' danger

right in the way. an there wasn't time
to stop an he niver SO much as tried

iton purpose to give the locomotive a
bad name. bad luck to him.
In less than a month. however. she
ran over drunken mar, lying in q
stupor on a bridge across the Plat.

down before her like grass before the

The object Of some experiments made
al the Kentucky experiment station was
70 determine the relative vGiaes OF
sholled corn. corn meal and corncob
meal FOR fattening purposes. and the
length Of time these feeds would produce
pork at n paying figure. In these trials
il was found that cornmeal does not
fatten 30 well as does shelled corn.
Nitrocenous food produced less flesh but
a more hardy Development than did non
nitrogenous foods. The following is a
brief summary Of the results;
Shelled corn produces fat more rapidly
than other feeds tested.
Corn produces tat at a cheaper rate
than other feeds tested.
Shelled corn produced pork at a profit
for sixty-three days. Cornmeal pro-
duced pork at a profit for sixty-three
DAYS. Corncob meal produced pork al
profit for iifty-four days.
The Chester Whites fattened more
readily than the Thin Rinds on the same
quality Of food
The nitrogenous foods produced so
little gain in live weight that it isIay be
attributed togrowth and not to fattening.
Cotton seed meal could not be fed
profitably.
Much corncob meal was wasted In
feeding. being picked over and refused.
The pigs fed on nitrogsnous foods
were so much stronger than the others
that they caused them serious injury
when turned out TO run together.
OF the nitFogenous foods tested, that
Of corncob meal and ship stuff in equal
parts was the cheapest.

How She Saw Santa Claus.

In the dining room chimney was a
register which opened and shut like a
door, and when it was opened it made
the best kind of place for Santa Claus
to come through.
Right beside it Helen's small stocking
was hung on Christmas Eve, and for fear
it might not hold all Santa Claus would
bring it was put over chair.
When the long night was at last ended
Helen's delight was unbounded, and as
she found the presents she would go TO
the register and say, "Tank, tank, Santa
Claus p'
A few days afterward plumber was
called in to repair the pipe leading
to this register, and just as he was draw
ing himself out of the opening Helen
came into the room.
The man was large and good-natured
with long gray beard. He smiled at
sight of the little two-year-old, who look
ed at him doubtingly for a moment, with
her hands clasped behind her. His smile
reassured her, and going up to him she
said:
as you dot any doll-babies in your
potet?"
With kind reply the man took his
departure, and to this day little Helen is
sure that she has seen and talked with
old Santa Claus himself.

Broken Lives.

God even seems to break them some
times that they may become truly use
ful. At least he can use broken lives in
his service just as well as the whole
ones indeed, it often appears as if men
can never do much for God till they are
@broken vessels He chooses the weak
things of this world that no flesh may
glory.
We ought, therefore, never to be afraid
of Gods providences when they seem to
break up our lives and crush our hopes,
even to turn US away from our chosen
paths of usefulness ard service. God
knows what ne wants to do with US, how
he can best use us, end where and in
what lines he would have US serve. When
he shuts one door it is because he has
another standing open for our feet.
When he breaks our lives to pieces it is
because they will do more for His glory
and the worlds good broken and shat
tered than whole-Presbgierisn.

Curious phenomena Of the hailstorm.
which visited Philadelphia on Oct.
last, are discussed by Professor Edwin
J. Houston. Of the high school, in the
current number Of Tie Franklin Insti-
tute Journal. 1t is stated that on some
Of the hailstones which fell, though not
on the majority, were well marked crys-
tails OF clear transparent ice projected
from their outer surfaces FOR distances
ranging from an eighth TO quarter OF
an inch. "It is difficult 10 conceive, >
saws Professor Houston, "what condi-
tions could have existed in the dense
masses Of vapor from which the stones
received their successive coatings. which
permitted the vapor to act as mother
liquid. despite the violent motions of the
stones, so generally to exist during their
formation. The formation o. such erys-
tails would seem to require comparative
rest Of the stones in a dense vapor a short
period before their final fall TO the earth. y
Professor Houston suggests that the
theory Of an ascending current of air
would seem to offer the best explanation.

KEEPING MILK SWEET.


rreatmssst That condnces to Its Safe Trans
t,ortation Ia Factory City CustomerS.
Il very often happens that it is very
desirable TO keep milk a considerable
time. and Of COURSE il is Unnecessary TO keep
il sweet This necessarily occurs with
those who sell milk in towns and cities.
and who send it TO cheese factories and
! creatneries from considerable distance.
/ Milk for such purposes must be cooled
/ down al once. but If ice is used we find
that we are in danger OF separating the
cream. and that we do not wish to do.
/ II those who handle milk would reason
on some OF the natural principles that
govern creaming they could take ad-
vantage Of them to aid in this matter.
We set milk in ice water 30 cream as
quickly as possible. Hoard's Dairymar

never allow ii 70 cool down before

We are careful not 70 agitate the milk
ans more than necessary. getting it in

never allowing II 20 be disturbed until

cream. These are the principles and
practice which must govern in handling
milk for butter making. Nov to

which we avoid doing in some particu-
lars when we wish 10 cream the milk to
