Oats as q Hay Crop.

Whenever the oat crop does not prom
ise well to be harvested in the usual
way, by Eeaping and binding. the best
economy will be to cut earlier, the same
as grass, rake up in light windows, and
as soon as dry, stow away in the NOV to
be reached about Feb. for the milk
cows The valne will be seen in the
milk pail. The COWS eat them up clean,
and, If there is enough to last through
March. the COWS will come out to grass
with coats as fine as silk. There is no
better fodder than ost hay for calves
and yearlingA 1t brings them out in
the spring in fine form and fe.tle. Full
feed pays in growth and product

And low the white capped billowx

Green fringed with dropping willow
Are you engaged?'' he whispered low
And low the night birds .wingine
Their silent courses through the sky.
Brought distant notes of singing.
Are you engaged?'' he whispered low =.

Why?

The wife who makes the homemade shirt,
The bore who stays and stays,
The maiden fair who dyes her hair.
The hen that never lays.
The college man with mandolin,
The girl who never plays"
The chestnut fiend tby Satan screenedA
Those Emerald paper Jays.
The girls you love who don't love you,
The man with fours you raise.
He who regales you with the tales
You heard In baby days.
The man who borrows for a day
And never. never pays,
The humorist. the man Of whist,
The hypocrite who prays
The man who lies about the size
OF fish he ne'er displays,
He ION the brink" who hates to think
That advertising pays.
And many more that might name
Beneath the suns warm rays,
Why don't they flee from wrath and SEQ
The error of their ways?

thrifty and enterprising offarmers and
stock breeders. The leading indus
tries prosper in the section tributary

and will be fully represented at the
Sangamon Fair of 1891. The ample
grounds ofthe Springfield Fair assocla-

In Memory of Mrs. D. A. Brown

Gone, the beloved wife and mother,
Gone, the sister and the daughter,
Who with patience long had tarrled,
And had burdens many carried.
Stricken i'm her prime and beauty,
But upheld by love and duty
She had faith in God the Father
Who has called her DER the water.
She was ready-only waiting,
Listening for her Savior calling
To that home SO bright and golden,
He's prepared for all his chosen.
And although our hearts are weary.
And the home is made SO dreary.
She has only gone before,
Waiting on the other shore.
Stricken hearts, look up to Jesus,
He alone has power to save us;
He alone can fill the space
Caused bv loss of her dear face
He alone can give the grace
To sustain the in thy place,
And when you shall hear the call.
Up i'm Heaven He III invite you all.
