SLEEP
While children sleep

While children sleep
They know not that their father tolls;
They know not that their mother prays-'
Bending in blessing DER their beds,
lmploring grace for after days,
While children sleep
They never dream that others work
That they may have their daily bread;
When morning comes they riss aud eat
And never ask how they are fei.
While children sleep
They do not see the shining sun
They do not see the gracious dew,
In daily miracle OF love
is ever making all things new.
DO we not sleep?
And know not that our Father works
With watchful care about our way;
He bends in blessings from above
His love broods DER us day by day.
Do we not sleeps
And never dream that others work,
Reaping the sheaves that might be ours;
We see not how the shadows fall,
Which mark the swift departing hours.
All, still we sleep
Our drowsy eyes see not the light,
Fee not the hands stretched out to bless,
SEQ not that waiting for us stands
Gods kingdom and His Righteousness.
Good Words,

Raising Kangaroos in England

Attempts recently made to acclimatize
kangaroos in England appear to have
been remarkably successful. Instead of
keeping them confined in small enclosures
and carefully tended, they have been
turned loose in park and woods, and have
been found to thrive and breed freely
There are now in firing Park twenty OF
thirty kangaroos of different species, and
the curious creature seems destined to
rank among familiar domestic animals

Ashes are fertilizer of such general

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Air the cellar on mild days.

Mixed farming is the safest.
Use good seed-plant carefully.
Is your wood house well-illed2
Ground bone is a good fertilizer to put
around trees in setting them.
Give your fruit trees good soil. They
cannot feed and thrive on nothing.
If YOU want to feed milk to lamb
use TIN can with long spout, like au
oil can.
The best systems of cropping are in
variably those which call for the most
thorough preparation of the soil.
Much of the trouble had vita fruit
trees is due to starvation. Liberal man.
uring would make productive many an
orchard that is now of no account
Give your farm credit for furnishing
you home rent-free and for thousand
and one necessaries and Injuries which
you would have to pay cash for in a city.
A pound Of bran makes within seven
teen per cent. of rs much milk as a pound
of cornmeal which. costs over TWICE ~
much; but corn meal makes richer MIX +,
while the bran makes richer manure.
How long can the fertility of soil he
kept up by the application only of the
three ingredients contained in CONNER
cial fertilizers--potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen2 Probably until some less
important ingredient is exhausted.
A healthy food for growing pigs may
be made of boiled potatoes, with corn
meal and bran added il proportion Of
five pounds meal and ten pounds bran to
bushel of potatoes. The latter should
be boiled to consistency of thin paste.
The value Of manure depends on the
character of the food eaten by the an.
finals. 1t cannot contain anything not
contained in the food eaten This .p-
plies to COW, horse, pig, hen and any
other manure made from animal drop
pings.
There is no need to drag mellow soil
after clover seed has been sown in order
to cover it. The rains will do this better
than man can. Even the brush harrow
often recommended for this purpose is
worse than useless. On winter grain, a
dragging of the hardened surface, to mel
low it before sowing clover and grass
seeds, will insure better catch.
Thorough draining is something that
all good nurserymen and gardeners pu:
a high value upon. The crops they put
on the land are often worth more than
the first cost of the land itself. Hence,
it is not uncommon for them in some
places to make drains on land leased TO,
i've or six years, as the losses from eS-
cessive water would be greater than the
cost of draining i. off.

put me on the car.

The girl made a movement toward hel
pocket and then hesitated. Springing
to her feet she murmured, as the tears
came into her eyes: "Let me off, please.
.sWhat!" exclaimed the conductor;
''You amt got the price of a ride. Oh,
pshaw! you kin ride free, then"
But the meek little Harlem maid, with
her smart 50 hat and well worn jacket,
was game. Her pretty mouth settled
firmly over her white teeth. ''You will
