FARM AND HOME.



My little son, who looked from thoughtful eyes.
And moved and spoke i'll quiet grown-up wise,
Having my law the seventh time disobeyed,
! struck him, and dismiss d
With hard words and unkiss'd
His mother, who was patient. being dead.
Then fearing lest his grief should hinder sleep,
l visited his bed,
But found him slumbering deep,
With darkened eyelidS and their lashes yet
From his late sobbing wet,
And / with moan,
kissing away his tears, left others OF my Gwn;
For, on a table, drawn beside his head,
He had put within his reach
box Of cOu tiers and red-veind stone.
A piece of glass abraded by the beach,
And six or seven shells,
bottle with bluebells,
And two French copper coins, ranged there
with careful art,
To comfort his sad heart.
So when that night pray d
To God, and went, and Said:
A h. when at last we lie with tranced breath,
Not vexing Thee in DEATH
And Thou remem berest of what toys
We makeour joys,
How weakly understood
Thy great commanded good,
Then, tatherly not less
Than whom Thou hast nodded from the clay,
Thoult leave Thy wrath, and say,
II will be sorry for their childishness.'

Eggs for Matching.

In selecting eggs for hatchingpurp,oses,
see that they are uniform. Very large
eggs, that bulge" out at the larger
part, and which are disproportionate IN
width to length, seldom hatch, as hens
that lay such eggs are usually in an over
fat condition, and we may here men
ton that eggs from very fat hens are
nearly always large or exceedingly,
small. The eggs for incubation should
be of normal size, smooth, free from
excrescences or inequalities of shell
and well-proportioned But we must go
beyond the eggs and know from what
kind of hens they came. All breeding
stock should be in perfect health and IN
full vigor, the male to be active, and
the females industrious in their search
for food.
The breed used should be one that
possesses some meritorious character
istic, such as good laying, marked
quality, size, hardness or adaptablllty
to the climate.
No eggs should be used for Matching
except those that have been selected
for the purpose. To take number
from the basket, without Sc Letting them,
is to incur the risk of securing no chicks,
while extra care may result IN good
hatch Farm and NreSide.

Dairy MaximS.

The Southern Cultivator offers the
following advice on the management of
the dairy:
1t is the price of good butter that adj
vances. But the price of bad butter
does not get any lower. Because it is
as low as it can get. 1t only pays to
make good dairy products. The low
price of bad dairy butter goods in
juriously affects the price of good ones.
If there were no bad butter or cheese
made there would be more OF the good
consumed. And the demand would in
crease.
In building a COW stable, plan to
make it as comfortable for the COWS as
possible, and as convenient for yourself
as you can make it. When a stable is
wisely arranged the COWS will be less
liable to suffer from neglect.
A convenient place to store bedding
will save much loss of manure and keep
the COWS clean and comfortable. Don't
let the manure gutter get full of liquid
manure so that the cows tails will
get into it when they lie down.
When you milk them they
will switch those manure-laden
tails in your face or wrap them around
your neck. Then you will use abusive
language not fit for COW to hear.
When it is convenient to do so, throw
the manure from the horse stable into
the gutter of the COW stable. This will
absorb the liquid manure and make it a
pleasanter job cleaning out the COW
stable, and the mixing of two kinds of
manure will be a benefit.
If the cream stands too long before 1t
is churned the butter will be bitter.
You cannot go beyond certain limit in
time in keeping cream. The limit
varies with the weather. Not merely
the temperature of the air but its con-
dition. The condition of the air also
affects the time it takes to churn. II
the cream has been tempered right and
the butter is too long in coming, put
in some water little warmer than the
cream.
When the butter comes be careful not
to let the grains get too large. Don't
gather the butter unless it is sufficiently
firm. Well or spring water is better
1t takes little longer but does it bet
ter. Ice is not good thing to come in
contact with butter at any time.
In dry-salting butter, if the salt is
| powdered fine it will dissolve quicker.
| If the salt is fine, the butter grains
| small and the salt evenly sprinkled on
| the butter. it can be worked at once and
show no streaks nor require a second
| working. Brine washed and brine
| sailed butter cannot show any streaks II
the washing has been thoroughly done.
Use good salt, and if you roll it fine you
can the better pick out any black
| specks that may be in 1t.
| Don't use any personalities in your
milk, cream and butter except pure
salt and good care. Don't put sugar in
| the butter; we wash it to get out all
impurities and sugar is one of them.

APPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING.
Apple tapioca pudding is always better
for being baked several hours before it
is used. The previous night half a cup
full of tapioca was soaked in three cup

tapioca and the water in which it was
soaked were put in the double boiler on
the fire, the tapioca to be cooked for one
hour. At the end of this time there

INGENUITY OF THE RED MAN.
The San Carlos Apaches Invented the
Center fire Cartridge.

The San Carlos Apaches Invented the
Center-f fire Cartridge.
G.. II. Russell, an old resident of Ari-
IONA, was at the Palace yesterday, says
the San Francisco Call. In speaking Of
the trouble among tho Indians he as
serted that in his opinion the most in
telligent and at the same time the most
cunning of the Western savages are the
San Carlos Apaches. TO them, accord
ing to Mr.. Russell, is due the invention
of the center-tre cartridge.
During the outbreak some eight or
nine years ago." he continued, their
arms were all Winchester rifles of the
rim-fre pattern, and they soon ex-
hausted their supply of cartridges
The had plenty of powder, bullets and
percussion caps, but they were not
available for breach-loading guns. The
cunning rascaIs had saved their brass
shells, and, with surprising ingenuity,
they altered the hammers of their guns,
drilled holes through the center of the
shells for the caps, loaded them, and
used them during the rest of the war.
1t was discovered when they were
captured. They were, | believe, the
first of the kind in use"

Sheltering Stock.

We do not think it has been fully
beat into the minds of a certain class OF
| farmers yet, that shelter is a necessary
| condition of success in stock raising.
But the thinking and progressive
| farmer does not deny, but advocates the
necessity Of some sort of shelter for
stock to protect them from the storms
of winter and to save his feed. For it
| is we'll established act that it requires
a certain amount of food to keep up the
normal animal heat in a horse, an OK,
| COW, or any animal.
Now if by reason Of lack of shelter
more feed is necessary to keep up this
| heat TO q normal temperature, it is just
| that much feed wasted that might have
| been saved if the animal was sheltered.
Many farmers make practice of let
ting their stock stand out all day in a
driving rain or binding snow storm,
and their barns empty of all stock.
Such practice is ruinous: it is drain
on the farmers income that he can in
reality i'll afford. Even the "south side
of straw stack" is very poor shelter;
in fact as a rule it is the poorest kind
of shelter. How often do we see cows
and horses crawling up close to stack,
or by the side OF a building, or in a
fence corner, for what poor shelter it
will afford against the biting wintry
blasts Any man who will permit such
a thing ought to be put through such q
process himself; it would at least bring
him to his feelings if not TO his senses.
In experiments that have been made,
1t has been proved that it has taken q
very much greater amount Of feed to
keep the same stock in good condition
when not sheltered than when it was;
in some cases almost double the
amount. AIRY farmer had better keep
less stock and shelter it better than to
keep great amount and half freeze it
to death.
There are many ways by which shell
ter can be provided for stock and at
very little expense, if only taken in
time All are familiar, | suppose, with
the straw sheds that are common over
the country; they are good if built right
in fact if built correctly and warm
they are as good a temporary shelter as
can be made. Sometimes there are old
buildings on the farm that can be put
to no better use than by being convert
ed into good stock shelter.
Let the energetic farmer look around
him and see if he cannot do something
in this respect that will add greatly to
the com ort of his stock and also to the
dimensions Of his pocket-book at the
same time, knowing that it will be time
we'll spent if it only helps to relieve the
suferings (fOr such they are) OF the poor
patient brutes that work for him or add
in some manner to his comfort or

Don't Wait Till She is Dead.

Rev. Robert Mcintyre says: ''To re-
frain from showing affection makes the
wife miserable. She does not care for
presents or lavish attention; she wants
those lite tokens such as may be given

husbands love. l wish some of the
good things that some men are saving
up to say concerning their wives after
they are dead could be said now. A

Asparagus Beds.

To set an asparagus bed. says the
Michigan Farmer, get plants one or two
years-one is about as good as the other
set in trenches about foot deep with
plenty of manure in them mixed with
soil. Set the plants about twenty inch
es apart dlagonally in the trench, and it
would be better, perhaps, to make it
two feet. Cover first with soil and then
with manure each autumn and in the
spring spade it in, not torking the
ground too deep. During the summer
fork the ground over enough to keep
the weeds down. For a family of six
persons 100 plants will be ample. Every
asparagus. The plants will not cost
more than SO or rs cents. When once
started and cared for, an asparagus bed
will last for generations, and it will af-
ford large amount of healthful food.
The bed may be cut for use a little the
second year after planting, and the
fourth year it may be fully cut.

given yesterday in the sale of Benjamin

Bulletin. Its original cost was possibly
$50. 1t gained nothing in actual value
by years of service and more years of
silent inaction; yet it sold for s., 100
