Guard the Calves.

"BIack leg is reported among the fat
calves. Costiveness is part of the
trouble. 1t may often be cured if OBJ
served within six hours after the sickness
is contracted, thus: An application of heat
to the surface of the body, by two OF
three thicknesses Of steamed blankets, tc
be kept on Changing to renew the heat,
until the animal is relieved and offers to
eat. Use also an injection. For a cali
give to 10 drops of digitalis, and double
this dose for yearlings. If passage OF
bowels is not secured within two hours
repeat the dose. If the animal is lame
take a chisel and cut off the points OF al
the hoofs until they bleed. Don't be
afraid of hurting the foot-they will grow
out again if the animal lives. Keep salt
petre by the calves as a preventive, anC
avoid the trouble.

Orchard and Fruit Garden.

Fruit growers are usually busy in Au-
gust, and this year will not prove an ex-
cep5ion, as the yield of most fruits is
abundant. Early fruits for marketing
should be carefully assorted and neatly
packed. Growers who neglect these mat
Jers can neither get good prices. nor es-
tablish desirable reputation. Painstak-
ing pays in preparing fruit for market
and those who work for profit cannot be
too particular in selecting, packing, ship
ping or delivering.
Continue the warfare On insects. If
mildew appears on srapevines apply sal
phur freely with a bellows. Budding
may be done this month, and also in Sep
TENDER as long as the bark on the stock
will slip freely and good buds can be OBJ
tanned. Cut away the old canes of rasp-
berries and blackberries as soon as
fruitiLg is over. Weed out old strawberry
beds and make new plantations-doing
the latter on dark, cool days, and particu-
larry before and after showers.

Effect of Bad Positions.

An erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more Importance to health than most peo-
pie generally imagine. Crooked bodily
positions, maintained for any length OF
time, are always injurious, whether in a
sitting, standing OR lying position, wheth.
er sleeping or waking. To sit with the
body leaning forward ON the stomach or tc
one side, with the heels elevated on leve
with the hands, is not only in bad taste
but exceedingly detrimental to health. II
cramps the stomach, presses the vital or.
gans, interrupts the free motion of the
chest, and enfeebles the functions of the
dominal and thoratic organs, and, in fact
unbalances the whole muscular system
Many children become slightly hump
backed or severely round-shouldered by
sleeping with the head raised on a high
pillow.

A DREAM.

There are times when dream delicious
Steals into a musing hour,
Like face with love capricious,
That peeps from woodland bower,
And one dea scene comes changeless,
A wooded hill and a river,
deep cool bend where the lilies end
And the elm tree shadows culver.
And lie on the brink there dreaming
That the life | live is dream,
That the real is but the seeming,
And the true is the sun-fecked stream.
Beneath me the perch and the beaver sail by,
In the dim cool depths of the river;
The struggling fly breaks the mirrored sky,
And the elm tree shadows culver.
There are voices of children away the hill;
There are bees thro' the flag flowers humming
The lighterman calls TO the clock, aud the mill
On the farther side is drumming.
And / sink to sleep in my dream of dream,
In the grass by the brink of the river,
Where the voices blend and the lilies end,
And the elm tree shadows culver.
Like gift from the past is the kindly dream,
For the sorrow and passion and pain
Are adrift like the leaves on the breast of the
stream
And the child life comes again.
, the sweet, sweet pain of joy that died!
OF pain that is JOY forever!
o the life that died in the stormy tide
That was once my sun-fecked river.

Hale and Hearty.

These two adjectives by no means imply the
possession of great muscular strength. There
are many men and women of slight build and in
ferior stature to whom the terms ''hale and
hearty" perfectly apply. Their compilations are
clear, eyes bright and vivacious, pulses tranquil,
step elastic, movements steady, sleep undisturbed,
appettes sound. These indicia of haleness and
heartiness Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will as
suredly bestow upon the feeble, the nervous and
the d speptic. No tonic of the century compares
with 1t Ill popularity other rivals it in efficacy
AS permanent IMMIGRATION means also the previ-
GUS regulation of disorder in the system, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bittere must also be regarded as
chief among regulators. 1t coLquers and pre-

FARM NOTES.

1t is never out of season to advise farm
ers to raise more small fruits. Count the
wear and tear and veariness of hunting
for berries on our hillside and see if home
grown are not cheaper.
Dairymen cannot afford to cut down the
feed of their cows on account Of the high
price of grain. To do good work, cows
must have good feed, and small pront from
the outlay is better than none.
If there are any rich places caused by
drainage of the barn yard and sink spout,
NOW the grass often and feed to the cows
before going to pasture. Such grasses do
not stand up well and early fall down and

Green Fert.IiZing.

Green manuring affords the cheapest
and most effective method of enriching
the soil. Buckwheat is the best crop for
very poor soil, turning under two crops
in the year. The next year early clover
may be sown fortified with a dressing of
plaster if the crop is Iuxuriant one
an early cutting of hay may be made
When the seeds are partially ripe on the
second growth turn the clover under
Southern COW peas, so valued in the south
ern states as a repovator of the
soil will not ripen their seeds IN the
north, but will make heavy crop of vines
of great value for turning under as green
manure.

Some of the great crops are small COM
pared with what seem of less Importance.
One hundred and twenty million bushels
of wheat in three states on the northwest
excites wonder as to what the world will
do withit, and yet the butter bill of aver
age city families are larger than the -four
account, and the expense books of hotels
and boarding houses will show that the
butter consumed costs from 10 to so per
cent. more than the bread. The farmers
of the northwest think wheat is King, but
the COW is queen, and is destined to be-
come every year more and more factor in
cur prosperity.

SONG OF THE CANNON-BALL.

Through the air of the soft summer morning:

Both dirge and message OF the warning;
No sweet, Idle dreams, nor romance OF love,
Nor poets soft Misunderstanding story
OF armour-clad knights at tournament gay.
Where q scarf was the guerdon of glory
WhistIing so airily,
Past the waTiIy,
Watching me narrowly,

Swift-hured from the bastion, mid volumes OF

Before me the living-behind me-alas!
There are wounded men gasping and dying.

With a death wound seal and deliver.
Is it strange that destiny as fearful as this
Makes the song of the cannon ball quiyer?-

Signing so alrIly,

1 swerve from the track, when the stout 'ashen
lance
l crowned with the banner of glory;

While the flag to the wind tells the story.
Evermore It's my errand TO knock at the door
Where life keeps its watch Ger the portal;
l batter the clay, but the tenant within
Deserts to the army immortal;
None ever flying there,
NevermoTe signing there
Nevermore dying there

How l laugh when the oak in his rugged old
breast
Takes me home with sigh and CULVER:
Or, splashing, [ sink in the welcoming wave
Closing 'er me for aye and forever.
Nay-beUIer than this-when I've written my
name
On the walls of the fortress all over,
I'll rest me at last, when around me shall grow
Green grass, starry daisies and clover;
Sweet in the summer air,
Waving their blossoms fair,
Cover the minstrel there,
Silent forever.

the district attorney and sheriff last
night, stuck to his former story
that he was working at Welsh's, near this
city, at the time Of the murder, and was
there that night The Welshes deny this
but there is a difference in their stories
which may be beneficial to Fowler in
court. Carey was seen and questioned.

ALWAYS Something to Sell.

The expenses of the farm and family go
on through all the year. 1t is almost i'm.
possible to make profit unless there is equal
continuity in selling. There may be and
should be special crops that furnish the
bulk if this is drawn upon by continual
drain not relieved by any new supply, il

southern farmers have depended wholly on
their sales Of cotton, and though this is
one of the most profitable crops grown, it
has been impossible for southern planters
to keep out of debt until they adopted
the northern plan of growing a diversity
of crops.
