In the production of comparatively
small sized Clydesdale horses American
breeders are quite equal to those of
Scotland.
No matter how long the cold wave
puts off its coming in the fall, it always
finds some live stock man who is not
ready for it.
A correspondent of The Southern Live
Stock Journal thinks he has discovered
that there is such thing as giving a
horse too much hay.
At the Ontario Agricultural college

In Scotland, Mr. Alexander Galbraith
has informed Clydesdale association
that old country breeders of these horses

Hen Manure.

TIL. careful poultryman has already
on hand good supply of road dust to
use as busting material. He has also
attended to his poultry houses, closing
cracks and leaking roofs The floor of
the winter henhouse needs attention
also. Fancier's Journal says: "We pre-
fer a board floor covered with about four
inches of sharp gravel. Gravel is al
ways loose and dry and easily kept clean.
Land plaster as deodorizer and fertil-
izer is unsurpassed. Hen manure and
plaster thoroughly mixed and kept dry
is worth more than most commercial
fertilizers. Plaster is worth about six
dollars per ton. Mixed with hen ma
nure ton is worth nearly three times
as much. AS a top dressing. for lawn
it is magnificent. Add little Kainit to
it and you will get complete manure,
worth when dry fully as much as the
forty dollar per ton fertilizers"

POETRY.


Oh. mistress, whom the bards have called their
muse,
Thou chaste inspirer of their choicest lay
Deign to accept this little gift, pray,
Unworthy, yet thy grace will not refuse;
Useless, and yet thy largencss still may use
The offering smallegA carts would cast away.
Divided homage poverty must pay;
Its workshop as q temple it must choose,
And work and worship must be mingled there,
The incense blending with the forge's smoke,
And busy hours be interpreted with prayer,
And sacrifice and service, in one stroke,
Must STAY the victim and the food prepare,
Finding their surplice in laborer's cloak.

Protecting Seed Beans from Rust.

DR.. Halstead has found that soaking
seed beans for an hour in solution of
three ounces of carbonate of copper and
one quart of ammonia to four and a half
gallons of water, was in measure pro-
lection against bean anthracnose. Among
plants from seed that had received the
copper soaking only three were at all af-
fected and these only slightly. Those
without copper treatment were fully four
times as bad as the treated ones, and the
chances are the difference would increase
instead of diminish. Unlike spraying
the soaking is simple matter done once
for all, and at the expense of only few
cents for an acre of beans.

Side hill creameries are cooler and
more airy than others in hot weather.
The double cream cheese known as
frontage de Brie is good for dyspeptics.
In building creamery divide the
space off into a butter room, cream room
and milk room.
One thing is certain: In reality the in
terests of producer, dealer and consumer
are one, and the time will come when
this will be understood.
1t is true as gospel that if the people
of the United States were always sup

they do now.

A year ago, Mrs. A. L. Simmons at
that time County President w. c. I. u.
started Union at Somers On Saturday
the ladies of that Union entertained the
members Of other Unions at the Somers
Presbyterian church, in celebration Of a
sort Of = Founders Day"
The ladies from Kenosha were Mes
danes Davy, Barnes, Simmons and Miss
Matte French. They report very en-
ioyable afternoon, and great pleasure and
pride in the Somers Union, which is
shown by the able report of its Secretary
Miss Della Bishop, to have accomplished
great deal. in quiet way for so young
a Union. One Of the vice-presidents pre-
sided on this occasion, Miss Doherty, who
opened the meeting with beautiful and
appropriate selection from the scriptures
and proved throughout the exercises the
charm Of quiet unassuming grace in one
to whom such a position is delegated
The President, Mrs. Mrs. Bowker, is
very much interested in the work and
very efficient, but the pressure of home
cares has detained her from the meetings
recently. On this occasion she was pres
ent to enjoy the meeting.
Somers is fortunate in having the first
Loyal Temperance Legion in the country
and although half of it's so members were
present, they gave very interesting pro-
gramme and proved that the Superinten-
dent of this department is deeply interes-
ted in her work, and maintains the inter-
est Of young people and children, ably
aided in all of this by Miss Della Bishop
who has genius for teaching. Some of
the ladies present talked to the audience
a few minutes, and all departed at the
close feeling better and happier for the
reunion.
This meeting has been a reminder that
this county will be most unfortunate if
doomed forever to the Sd and 4th Of
March for Convention days Mrs. A. L.
Simmons, Supt. of Press work, would be
pleased to receive commucations from
different ladies Of the w. G.. T. =. of the
county, containing opinions as to what
steps can be taken to change our yearly
meeting to time when weather and
roads are not certain to be at their worst.
Any one desiring to contribute clothing,
books, money, canned-fruit, or any use
full articles to the Woman's Home at Eau
CLAIRE, can send them to the residence of

With flowing tresses gushing from the cap,
With which the Roman master crowned the slave
When he took off the gives. bearded man
Armed to the teeth art thou. One mailed hand
Grasps the broadsword and one the shield. 1ny
brow,
Glorious IN beauty though it be, is Scared
With tokens of old wars.
Thou shalt wax stronger with the lapse of years,
And thy foe fade into feebler age
Feebler, yet subtle He shall weave his snarss,
And spring them on thy careless steps and clap
His withered hands. and from their ambush call
His hordes to fall upon thee,
He shall charm thy ear, while his sly imps, by
stealth,
Irvine round thee threads OF steel, light thread on
thread
That grow to letters; or bind down thy arms
With chains concealed in chaplets Oh. not yet
May st thou embrace thy corslet, nor lay by
Thy sword: nor yet 0 Freedom close thy lids
, In slumber.
MANY wrongs are to be righted many
dangers threatening. Corruption and in
temperance are even more serious ques-
lions than they seem. But perhaps the
greatest danger lies in the evils attending
an indiscriminate immigration. The
great question at present is whether we
shall be able to assimilate and American
iZe the European masses that seek our
shores. Our safety here les it seems to
me, in the efficacy Of our free schools
which, more than any other American
institution is the making OF our American
citizens There is the European made
over. There he becomes truly an Amerl-
can. European ideas Of government are
SO very different from ours that children
should have this training which the free
common school best can give, and it IS
our bounden duty to make the free com
mon school as eficacious an agent as
possible In ignorance is our greStest
danger; in the free American school is the
prosperity and perpetuity Of this nation.
0 friends, may we profit by the lessons
Of the past. May these graves teach US
to be less Indifferent to the interests OF
our country and to our duties as citizens
May we more fully appreciate the bless
ings of our form of government, and look
more carefully to its conservation.
Sweet be the slumbers of these buried
dead. Wherever they lie may grateful
country never forget them, and may we
guard wisely the legacies they left u.s.
Dear to each heart are the names Of the brave
Resting in glory, how sweetly they sleep!
Dew-drops at evening fall soft on each grave,
Kindred and stranger bend fondly 10 weep
Kindred bend fondly, and dropping eyes weep
Tears of affection DER every green grave;
Fresh are theirs laurels and peaceful their sleep;
Love still shall cherish the noble and brave"

The hand Of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func-
tional arrangements and dis
orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medi-
cine can. 1t cures them. For
periodical pains, prolapsus and
other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all fe-
male complaints and weak
nesses, it is a positive remedy.
1t is a powerful, restorative
tonic and nervine, imparting
strength to the whole system
in general, and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. It keeps years from
your face and figure adds
years to your life. It's guar
auteea to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't,
your money is returned.
