curse of saloons, but the Christian
people here at Newport have the sad
reflection (and some of them are be-
ginning to feel it), that if they had
thrown their influence, by signing the
petition which the ladies Mrs. H. L.
Kennel and others) SO faithfully
carried around, the money now going
into the saloons might be going into
other stores, which would have bene-
flied instead of blighted families.

Obituary..

Sister Fannie Rlanton, of Okolona,
Ark, fell asleep on the evening of
March %, 1890.
She was an earnest member of the
local W. G. L. IT,, and although for
months previous to her departure, her
declining health prevented her at
tending our meetings, her heart was
ever enlisted in the work. While we
humbly bow in submission to the will
Of Him who doeth all thinks well, we
thank our Father in heaven for that
unwaverlng faith with which our sis
ter was enabled to so completely
bridge the grave. "Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death Of his
saints" and precious in our hearts
are the ever green memories Of our
departed sister.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding,
Der the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, "Thy will be done"
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone,
Thou didst give and thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, "Thy will be done"

Editor Woman's Chronicle;
Hot SPRINGS, ARK, March 81, 1890.
The life of the W. G. T. U. in this
place has been for many months at a
very low ebb, and had it not been for
the "never-say-die" spirit of few
determined women would have slept
the sleep from which nothing but the
trump of Gabriel can awaken.
Mrs. Hart has visited US, and the
effect has been vitalizing. She came
10 us on Friday noon, met with the
union in the afternoon, and would
have given a public lecture in the
evening but for the pouring rain,
which kept everybody at home. Sat-
urday she organized union in South
Hot Springs, with Mrs. S. G. Hamblin
as president. Sunday afternoon she
spoke on Social Purity in Riggs hall,

Mrs. Chace's Visits Through
the State.

Searcy has improved in many ways
in the ten years since the State Union
was organized there, but dear Sister
Carlisle and Matte Yarnell are the
same earnest sisters in the cause, and
they have had several to join them in
the work, but sickness and other
causes have prevented their doing all
they would.
Mrs. E. J. Bean, where | was very
kindly entertained, is an addition to
their company, which adds much to
their strength.
1t was rather an unfavorable time,
but l had good meetings. There is a
large number of young people of
both sexes being trained for useful
ness, to whom l felt it privilege TO
speak. The Union feels the loss of
the US, who were an inspiration, but
have married and moved away, till it
broke up the Union, but we can re-
joice that the homes will be built up
better for the training
At Sulphur Rock | found the Y's
in good working order and had large
appreciative audiences while there.
They have much opposition, for they
have the effects of the distillery few
miles away to contend with. This
Union gives the honorary members
rather more liberty and recognition
than we generally do, but it seems to
work well in this case. Prof. Mitchell
and family are prominent in the good
work, and very cordially gave me a
welcome, though stranger. Prof.
Fortune is very helpful to his wife,
the president, and does not think it
at all misfortune that she fills the
chair instead himself or some other
gentleman. My stay of nearly four
days was very pleasant and encour-
aging in the work, but | escaped just
in time, as the high water soon cut
off communication.
From Newport | went to Swifton,
and was there shut in for three days.
Had one meeting and visited several
families in the interest of the work.
Saturday | went on the local to Hoxie,
hoping to get to Jacksonville to my
appointment on Sabbath, but could
not come by Wynne and Bald Knob,
so | returned to Tuckerman and
spent the Sabbath and had three large
and interesting meetings-and also
Que with the ladies-but for want of
a leader they did not organize.
At Swifton they have had great
deal of sickness and death in their
ranks, but seem determined to live
on, and | think will be rewarded by
some edition. Mrs. Kitring is a
noble woman, and has one daughter,
a missionary in Peking, China, and
three interested in the temperance
work here. These dear friends made
my forced tarry with them as agree
able as possible.
Monday night l left Tuckerman,
went to Walnut Ridge, called at
Brothers Camps and Smiths, the
latter the minister, and his wife, the
daughter of Col. McVeigh of Osceola,
who has had temperance and prohibit
ton drilled into her till it seems part
of her nature. A dozen such women

WHY BUTTER Is BRITTLE.

A farmer asks why his butter is brittle
and crummy and breaks instead of cut
ting smoothly with the knife. This ques-
ton may be answered by simply saying
because it is winter butter, or to 90
further, that winter butter usually CON
tains a greater proportion of the hard fat,
margarine and less of the soft fat, oeline,
than summer made butter. But cold
weather alone is not wholly responsible.
Feed has an influence on the character of
butter. Cows are more likely to get poor
bog hay and dry, weather-beaten corn
stalks or straw in winter than in summer
when fresh, sweet grasses are abundant.
II cows are kept in warm, clean stables
and are fed an abundance of nutritious
hay and grain, such as corn-meal, good
bran and oil-meal and the milk is we'll
handled, there need be no difficulty in
having butter that will cut smoothly
with the knife. Cows recently fresh in
milk will produce a better grade of but
ter than those that have given milk
several months. Dairymdn.

When fortune smiles on me and JOY Is

Not he who brings his laurel sprays to

Among the flowers with which Fame decks

And bows with devotees about my shrine,
Eager in my love-rosary TO shine;
Tothe, No: one like him shall not abide.

Though troubles deepen, and disgrace por-

Through shame OF poverty, through mems

Braving the world for me-he is my

RACKS FOR FEEpING SHEEP.

AS much as possible the feeding of
sheep in winter should be done under
shelter, and the coarse feed especially
ought to be kept where it can be reached
during the night. A rack is made by
using narrow boards, with wide, open
places between each, and the boards
firmly nailed both at top and bottom TO
the crosspieces. A long box made thus
will accommodate one sheep to each
opening. If the flock is reasonably even
in strength, there will be no injurious
crowding at the feeding ricks. They arc
usually made about four feet high, thus
allowing the coarse manure to pile about
them to the depth Of foot without dan
ger of the sheep breaking over.

Musical Jugs.

The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places of Peru, are most
ingenious specimens of handiwork. The
William S. Vaux collection in 'Philadel-
phia contains remarkable example of
this rude and ancient art. It is COM
posed of two vessels joined together with
clay stem or pipe, after the fashion of
the Siamese twins. The stem is hollow !;
one jug is entirely closed up, except a
small opening provided with a clay tube,
leading to the body of the whistle. When
liquid is poured into the open-mouthed
jug, the air is compressed into the other
through the opening in the connecting
stem, from whence it is forced into the
whistle, the vibrations producing the
lovely songs IF various forest birds pecu-
liar TO Peru and South American countries.
The Clay collection, in the same city, also
contains some wonderful examples of an
cient Peruvian art, among which are the
robin vases and the llama jugs, the for
mer initiating the song of the robin, and
the latter, being fashioned in the form Of
the llama, initiates the election of saliva,
well remembered as being one of that
animals disgusting habits. -Picayune.

FOR THE SICK PIGS.

If your pigs are sick do not at once
dose them with lot of medicine Keep
their feed away little, and feed lightly
for few days. A change of feed may
be just the thing needed, especially if you
have been stutfing them with corn or
corn meal. 1t is very easy to clog pigs
on single diet. They know no better
than to eat until it makes them sick
The feeder ought to know better. Young
stock of all kinds should be permitted to
only fairly plump themselves out and not
make themselves pot-bellied. But corn
in any shape will not afford them sufficient
nourishment. 1t is deficient in muscle
and bone material. But if plenty of
SKINNED milk is fed with it, the ration
IS very much improved. Then if an
equal weight of wheat bran, shorts or
middlings is mixed with the corn meal,
the ration is better yet and more econom-
ical. Witness.

TIE FARM AND GARDEN.
THE DUST IN HAY.

There is, as all farmers know, more or
less dust in all hay, and this, if taken into
the lungs, is very injurious to horses fed
on it. Clover hay and that of timothy
cut in the bloom are especially liable to
be dusty, and often gives horses the heaves
when fed on either of these. Slightly
wetting the hay will prevent this injury.
The better way is to cut the hay, slightly
moisten it and throw on it little corn
and oats ground together, taking care not
TO give more than will be eaten clean at
each feed. Between meals the rack may
be filled with fresh straw, which the
horse will pick over, and which may then
be used as bedding York World.

Unless the farmer believes that any
seed potatoes are good enough to plant,
he will do we'll to look carefully to the
source of his supply of potato seed this
spring. Size is not the important matter
SO much as maturity and abundance of
starch. We have known small, we'll
r1pened tubers to produce large crops.
Their chief objection is having too many
eyes, producing a great number of
sprouts, which crowd each other and de
crease the yield much as sucl crowding
would with anything else. If small po-
tatoes are used dig out all the eyes save
two, and let these be we'll developed.
Where large potatoes are cut to one or
two eyes this often makes very small
pieces at the seed ends. 1t is better in
such cases to dig out some of the eyes
and cut the pieces Of larger size. More
than one sprout is often produced from
a single eye, especially on rich soil and
when planted 6eeply.-American Cultiva-

above Is a good system to adopt on any.
land, but As sandy soil Is considered of
but little value. l suggest this way of
renovatinC il. In recent conversation
with an old farmer from New York, he
told me that, 10y the process above given,
farms in his vicinity that few years ago
could be bought for a song, are now
worth 500 an acre. There are many
points of excellence in sandy land. The
ground can be worked earlier in the
spring than claycy soil. The crops ma
ture earlier. 1t is easier cultivated.
1t can be worked sooner after a heavy
rain. The potato and all other root
crops are far superior in quality. II the
cultivated crops are titled as often AS
they should be in dry season, they will
stand the drouth nearly if not quite as
we'll as on clay SOIL Western Farmer.

FERTILIzISG WITH CLOVER.

A system of rotation and blowing like
the following will, in few years, work
wonders on any soil. When a crop of
small grain IS sOwn in the spring, SOW a
liberal amount of medium clover and the
next year after cutting the hay early, let
the second crop 90 to seed and pillow un-
der when we'll matured. The next year
plant crop, and when harvested pillow
fully as deep as before which brings the
clover seed to the surface for a most lib
eral stocking. The clover seed contains
so much oil that it will not rot while in
the ground, and still being covered so
deeply will net terminate while there.
There being such an amount of seed, if
some does winter kill plenty more will
not. Then SOW crop and the ground
is we'll seeded again with clover, and an
other crop of hay cut as before. And so
for series of years, harvesting a crop
of grain the first year, corn or
potatoes the second year, grain the
third year and clover hay the
fourth year. By this process the soil
will improve in fertility wonderfully
