Housekeeping and Homemaking.

There is a fine, vet palpable, distinction
between housekeeping and home making.
The one brings up visions of immaculate
ness; of rigid order; of a never-to-be-
causht-napping readiness for any event;
of a machine oins place in which to eat
and sleep. The other recalls invisible
cords which bind all hearts together in
closets love and sympathy; a place of
shelter frou every storm of hardship; of
comfort in every sorrow. There is power
in being a home-maker that makes dalgh-
ters want to learn mothers secre that
causes sons TO turn away from frivolous
girls and search for other daughters with
the same secret; that saves many child
fom wandering in forbidden paths of sin;
power that mothers would bend every
energy to obtain if they half appreciated
its value.

of whale fishery. Two Scotch whalers.
VINO have stndied the question from the
practical side of personally seeing the
rapid iecadence of the north polar whale
fisheries, say: I'VE think it is establish
ed beyond doubt that whales of a species
similar to the right or Greenland whale
found in high northern latitude exist in
great numbers in the Antarctic seas. and
that the establishment. of whale fishers
within that area would be attended with
successful and profitable results.
On the other side. too, | have tried to
find some good authority against the gen
eral results. but SO far have been able to
encounter only those vague, Intangible
generaliJies which We hear waged so often
by those people WHO cannot see beyond the

Plank and wire fences with good nosts

neighbors but take up less land and afford
less room for weeds. hriers, OF pests to

with ali unnecessary fencing it IS very i'm

some poor fences, let it be those which
keep your own stock out of your own
fields, so that if any damage is done, it
will he your own stock that will get the
benefit.

Drink for sock

One of the worst things 10 contend with
in the care of stock is their drink. No
creature will thrive if compelled to go 80
or 40 rods to drink and then get it by
standing in the mud up TO their knees. or
in cold northwest wind that will chill
them 50 that they won't Gel warm for the
next q hours. Farmers had better hire
money at II per cent. to bring water to
their barns than compel their stock to
travel off in the fields to drink.

Had Roads

Poor roads is bad economy. Spending
money IN building such roads. or attempt
ing to keep them IN repair, is sinking
money. Every fTmor or other person
drawing leads or riding over such roads
is tossing deal Of money by way of POWER
IN going through mud, over stones and lii
cuts. Farmers should rya!.z- that bad
roads cause sad waste, and show a lack
Of economy; on the other hand, good roads

Line Fences

One of the most frequent causes Of quar-

fences. TIE expense entalad on this &C
count, TO say nothing Of the worry and
trouble, Is in many cases sufficient to have
put up a sfock-proof sence for both parties,
and on account of difference between
them both will put up and maintain =
separate fence with devils lane" be-
tween them. Certainly such course con-
not be considered profitable 70 either.
While it Is always best to avoid difficulties,
even 10 the extent of giving in a little
rather than TO quarrel, vet when an agree
ment cannot b. reached satisfactorily be-
tween the neighbors it will be far better
for both parties to call in one or more dis
interested neighbors and let them decide
what would be right, rather than 10 90 TO

There Is ever song somewhere, my dear;
There Is ever sonnet hing sings alway:
There's the song of the lark when the skIcs are

And the song of the thrush when the skies are
grey,
The sunshine shower across the grain,
And The blue-bIrd trIlls in The orchard trees,
And In and out when the leaves drip rain,
The swallows ale twitting ceaselessly.
There Is ever song somewhere, my dear,
Be the skies above dark or fair,
There l. ever song that our hearts may hear
There Is eYera song mewhere, my dear
There IL ever song somewhere!
There Is ever song somewhere, my dear,
In The midnight black or the midday blue;
The robin piper when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirIups the whole night

The buds may blow and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere;
But whether the or the rain, snow;
There Is ever a song somewhere, my dear.
