Oh, Twas very learned then
But that was very long ago.

Where checkerberries could be found,
Iknew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed a poundi

Where lived the poaching. saucy crow,
And ali the woods and crows knew me

Only TO learn this solemn truth:

Yet here's this youngster at ny knee

To think / once was wise as he
But that was very long ago.
Iknov it's folly to complain
OF whatsce'er the fates decree,
Yet, were net wishes all in vain,

Tho Berlin papers are devoting some
space to discussion OF the new phe-
nomenon presented by the fashion OF
women riding astride in the style OF
male equestrisns- The custom is so
plainly growing that it is no longer ex-
citing special wonder among the popu-
lace Of the capital to see lady riding
man fashion through the parks. Nor is
the habit at all frowned at by the upper
6fasses, for it is mostly among the not
ables that its adoption seems to have
taken root. The favorite costume for
the purpose. as discovered by observa-
tion of the fashionable throng cantering
through the Thiergarten on any fine
day. is black velvet bodice, silk tights.
and divided skirts. The effect produced
is no more outre than that Of the ordi-

A loan of compost to impoverished

Symmetry of form and beauty OF
color are fine points in poultry. but
eggs are better.
More than Sc per cent of the enor-

in 1889 was consumed at home.
The valuation of live stock received
at Chicago in 1890 was $231.344, 879,
or about $40, OOS, 900 more than in
1889.

In dry seasons farmers should look

wells nearly dry is generally foul.
Foul water is the source OF many Ills.
There is more clear profit to be
made from a small flock of sheep
say forty to eighty head-than from
any other stock of equal cost. But it
requires good sense to get the profit.
Fowls greedily devour Eattir corn
and SO do the birds. which fact is the
greatest drawback to its cultivation.
1t is an excellent plant to raise in
the chicken runs, affording both shade
and food.
The best time to clean the mud off
the horses legs is before it gets dry;
wash off with large sponge or cloth
and then wipe dry. This will be far
better than allowing to dry and then
using the curry comb and brush.
Nearly all classes of stock will re-
fuse to eat wet hay or wet fodder,
unless hungrier than it is profitable
to allow the farm stock to become,
and even then they will waste more or
less

English farmers have concluded
that it is impossible to compete with
wheat growers of America, Russia
and India, but they have some hope
OF profit in dairYing. because there is
an increasing demand for good butter
in America, which is the chief COM
petitor in that line.
Barley is an excellent subs titute for
corn as food for stock and 1t Is a
more certain crop than wheat or oats.
Ground with oats. or by itself, it is
good for any animal on the farm.
Western farmers would do we'll to
raise more barley, in place Of corn;
and oats.
