FARM NOTES.

Give the COWS salt, regardless of the dec
laration of some people that COWS do not
need salt.
A thorough fitting of the land and plenty
of seed are two essentials Of success in
seeding IN grass.
On farm good facilities, good man.
agement and good markets are more valu-
able than the breed Of fowls. We must
cater to the wants and accommodations of
the business.
Rotate the crops in the garden as well
as in the fields. Do not grow peas or
cabbage on the ground occupied by such
crops last year, but change all crops to
new plots, Or to plots occupied by some
other crop the previous season. Rotation
is very important matter in agriculture.
TIC rid poultry house of red lice, fumi-
gate it with burning sulphur, in which
has been placed pound of old tobacco
leaves, or a piece Of common rosin twice as
big as an egg, the house meantime being
closed perfectly tight. Insects cannot live
in this kind of atmosphere.
Corn is benefited by all kinds of man ure
The roots extend quite distance. and
feed over the whole of the surface. 1t is a
crop that assists in cleaning the soil of
weeds, owing to the frequent cultivation
required, and it thrives best when the
young plants are given a go)d start.

Modern MI ethOdS.

No other occupation requires more cen
iinuous active thought than that OF
modern methods Of farming. There are a
wide diversity of methods, and no one
best for all places. soils or other circuEn-
stances. Hence each farmer must in the
main decide for himself. In olden times
farmers in each neighborhood fell into
certain ruts which might be followed

Short Stop Suggestions.

This is the time to push farm work.
Prepare early for the great crop-Indian
corn: Early potatoes pay best. Small
thrifty trees are the best for planting.
The older the tree, the more difficult to
transplant and the less certain to thrive.
Don set fruit trees too closely, especially
apple trees. Use neither inferior seeds
nor sires If in doubt, test seeds before
planting. Keep d record of all crops
planted and amount of seed used. Fer
tlize the meadows and pastures. Heavy
manuring helps to lift mortgages. Save
all the ashes and use them on the farm.
No shackly or rusty tools now. More tire
on wagon wheels and l. IS in the horses
Straighten up the fences and the gate
posts. Provide good watering places FOR
stock. Protect ali misunderstanding birds
Look after the bees-examine the colonies.
The early chick catches the most money.
Get ready to fight insects and weeds. See
that your wheat fields are well drained.
Help the feminines in the flower garden,

Sitting Hens.

Look sharply after the sitting hens. II
possible get peep into the nests daily
while they are absent A little neglect
here will ruin everything. Ii a single egg
is broken the whole should be Immediate
ly washed, or there is danger of the mass
drying on the outside of the remaining
eggs and stopping the circulation. Take
out the straw or chatf and put in a fresh
supply. If the hens leave the nest, as
they sometimes will, don't neglect the
eggs even if entirely cold. Place them in
a pan of warm water and gradually raise
to los degrees, leaving them there until
warmed through and then put under a
fresh hen. In this way one will often
save clutch of eggs and be well repaid
for the labor.

Things Worth Knowing.

Katherine B. Johnston wants to know
if housekeepers know:
That if teacupful Of cold water is add
ed to a well beaten egg, and enough of
the mixture used to moisten the ground
coffee before it is made, it will be quite a
saving Of eggs over the old method
That if little soft met melted) lard Or
butter is rubbed over the top of bread
dough when in a mass, and after being
nodded into loaves, hard crust will be
avoided.
That a teaspoonful of pulverized sugar
slfted Through a sieve) over the top crust
Of pie will add greatly to its appearance.
That when SCOT falls upon carpet OF
rug, if covered thoroughly with salt it eau
be swept up without leaving trace. Il
one trial is not sufficient give 1t another.
That little powdered borax added to
cold starch stitfens linen beautifully.
That clothes-pins are too cheap to stand
out of doors in cold weather pinning two
gacme.ts together with one.
That in baking cake with granuated
sugar you should use little less than the
receipt calls for.
That basin of cold water placed in an
oven will soon lower the temperature.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Be a Happy Woman.

To have so much to do that there is no
time for morbid thoughts.
To never think for a moment that you
are not attractive, and to n.ake yourself
look as charming as possible.
To be considerable of the happiness of
others that it will be reflected back to you
as from looking g-ass.
To never permit yourself to grow old
for by cuitivating ali the .graces of heart,
brain and body, age will not come upon
you.
To believe that life work has been map
ped out for you, that it is near you,
and to do that which your hands find for
Won.

by improved machinery and more scien,
tifc methods to produce better article al
a lower price. In common sense staple
goods used by the public at large the quail
ity is growing better and the prices are as
low as ever.
The loudly predicted revolution in
prices and the great burden of increased
taxes on the necessaries, as they appear IL
the above tale of facts, are conspicuous
chiefly by their notable absence. Demo
cratic prediction seems to have nothing II
common with the facts of American indus
trial and commercial DEVELOPMENT.

Keep Good Cows.

Something depends, Of course, on skill
in making good butter to make better
dairying pay, but more depends on having
good cows, the farmer who has cows that
will make 800 pounds of butter a year can
afford to apply the skill and labor neces-
sary to make first class article of butter.
He who keeps COWS that do not yield
more than $50 pounds d year cannot make
as good butter, because he presumptively
has not much intelligence and cannot at
ford with such small product to hire 1t.
The old maxim holds good, ''Out of
nothing, nothing comes" Get good cows
for milk and butter. That is always the
first and most i'm portant step toward good
dalryinp

those who don't. Many kinds of city
business requires less mental effort than is
needed on the farm to make success.
Sometimes business once well started
will seem to run itself in the well-defned
grooves made for it. Farmers cannot do
this. The rules of one season scarcely
ever apply to the next, and so the faculty
for thinking have ever to be on The
alert.

IMPATIENCE.
By ADR0E.

never w nted time TO pass as now,
For my own love is coming after me,
When leaves hang thick on every waving bough,
Whilst rolls beneath q green and shimmering
sea.
Ny love who left me when the dying rays
Of summer suns in Autumn's leaves were
stored,
And hung DER all dim and purple haze,
For shadowlng far-oT lands still UNEMPLOYED.
And, the white winter long and dreary has been,
All gaunt and ghostly stands the leadess trees !:
While, nature dead, her shroud was wrapped
within
Earth's joyous scenes and sweetest melodies.
But he viii come, and I shall see his face
And we will stray down the sweetest paths of
June,
And fairesT scence shall gather new grace,
For with earth's Joy our hearts will be in tune.

Steamed Eggs.

For invalids this way of cooking eggs
is especially nice as the white of the egg
will be light and tender. Butter a plate
or pie tin and break the eggs on it care
fully so the yolks will not be broken or
separated from the white part. Set the
eggs in a steamer over kettle of boiling
water and leave them until the whites
are cooked.

FARM AND GARDEN.
PROTEST.
T. 6. COLLIER.

Oh, words of love that are unspoken,
You do US grievous wrong,
For hearts grow weary, yea and broken,
If silence lasts too long.
Why should not eyes be dim with holding
A watch that does not cease,
While just beyond their grasp unfolding
Loves radiant blooms increase?
ssHearts that are wed no knife can sever
The ancient proverb says;
But what if waiting lasts forever,
Whose is the purse that pays?
0 Love, yours is the treasure, lying,
Red with the stains of rust,
Where sweet, sad ghosts are vaInly signing
Above the bitter dust.
There, as the long day slowly fingers
Toward nights silent gloom,
They weave, with thin, unsteady fingers,
Garands of withered bloom.
Where are the lovers vigil keeping,
For whom these wreathes they Irvine?
Some in Crusader graves are sleeping,
In far-Off Palestine.
Some lie amid the caverns hollow,
Where lost ships softly rock;
Some in unknown graves that follow
Wars fierce victorious shock;
Some rest where mountain streams are LAYING
The sands that CLEAN with gold;
Some meet their death, the tempest Drawing
Where Arctic waves are cold.
They vanly looked for that tomorrow
Earth never yet has known,
And death grew from the seeds of sorrow
Within their spirits sown;
All, would they, if theirs were the choosing,
Reap harvests like to this?
Or all the wide world know the losing
Of even a single kiss?.
When garden ways with blooms are freighted,
Who thinks Of winters snow?
Only the souls that are belated
The loss of love can know;
When joy within the heart is singing,
We do not heed the bell
Whose measured stroke is slowly ringing
Anothers funeral knell.
o, Love, that ''si'ence may be golden
Was written in the years
That had no ''legends quaint and olden,
Or fountain fed with tears;
No wedding chimes to music walking
Are given words unsaid,
Nor can they, through the silence breaking,
Watt gladness to the dead.
Speak, Love! The oft-repeated story
Can never grow too old,
But wins to higher heights of glory
Each time that it is told;
And lips are ready for replying,
With words of tender cheer;
Speak, Lowell for swift years are flying,
And, 10, the time is near.

rHEPARRor's FOOLISH REFRAIN

He has nothing else to say, except
"The tariff is a tax

You may show him by what stages
Protection makes big wages,
Brings him side by side with him who makes the
things he lacks;
Saving cost of transportation
From distant population,
But the parrot merely answers,
'sThe tariff is a tax.
You may tell him that the duty
Is thing of JOY and beauty,
That it stimulates production, take account of all
the facts;
When you say thing its cheaper,
When you buy abroad its sleeper:
The parrot merely answers,
''The tariff is a tax
Thus the bird goes on repeating
This invariable greeting,
catchword from the speeches of the democratic
hacks;
And the tariff of protection by Ben
Harrison's election,
Has not convinced the parrot that the
Tariff is a tax.
