A LITTLE sPRIe OF SHAMROCK.

Loving lines, yet sadly cheerful-how '"twas

far away"
Every sentence has its token of love that could
not fall
Throbbing with faith unspoken, though the
ink is growing pale;
Faded are the lines. dim-lettered, like sad
ghosts upon the page;
All, that poor love should be fettered with the
rusty iron of age!
Then that line: sat picked the shamrock from
that spot dear-you viii know

And at last: Love, how much better ID will be

If you know how have needed some new token

You have slept away UNDECIDED, it must move

Since the shamrock grew above you, you could
never stay away.

WHEAT FOR HOGS.

An Old Question Bobs Up for Discussion
Once More.
We are asked if we consider wheat
to be a good food for horses and hogs,
and in what proportions to oats and
corn it should be fed. Wheat is ap
pareutly a god food for animals, if the
object is to furnish a muscle and bone
forming food. There is no grain that
furnishes "a better balanced food. AS
we usually treat it for human consump-
ton we destroy the balance. We throw
away the flesh and bone-forming ele-
ments and consume the fat-forming.
Of late years they make, or pretend to
make, flour out of the whole grain.
We do not know how near they actual
ly come to doing this. We have some
times had dou BITS about what was
represented as whole wheat -four be-
ing such. But such -four would be the
best food that a human being could
eat. And animals that are not in proc
ess of fattening require about the
same food that human beings do. There
is a less percentage of actual fat in
W heat than there is in oats. Still we
are accustomed to say that oats are
upon the whole the best food for
hors es, and that is true. There is a
compa ctness about wheat that there is
not about oats. which possess the dis
tinguishing characteristic of furnishing
to some extent what we call bulk.
Horses will, at least in the long run, do
better upon oats than they viii upon
wheat, because an equal amount of the
principal nutritious part of the oats
goes into the stomach in better shape
to be handled by the digestive ma
chinery. Some of both grains, too. may
escape thorough mastication, and in that
case the oats are more easily acted upon
by the gastric juices than wheat would
be.
But looking at its composition only,
wheat is a good food for horses, which
require bone and muscle forming food
principally and little. though COM
paratively little, of the fat forming. As
to feeding wheat to hogs it would de-
pend on what was being done with the
hogs. If they are being fattened, corn
would be much better. If they were
growing hogs wheat would be better

GAN INSECTS TALK?
Even Among Bees Ill News Was Foun
to Fly Apace.

Even Among Bees HI News Was Found
to Fly Apace.
A striking instance of the possession
of a capability of spreading intelli-
gence, and that of so1newha. abstruse
character, is furnished by experiments
that have been made by Huber and
others upon bees. Everyone is aware
that the queen bee is an object of the
greatest solicitude and attention to all
the workers of the hive, and yet,
among SO many thousands, all busily
employed in different and distant parts
of the colony, it would appear impos-
sible for them to ascertain, at least be-
fore the lapse of a considerable time,
whether she was absent from among
them or not. In order to see whether
bees had any power of conveying news
of this kind the queen bee had bcen
stcalthily and quietly abstracted from
the hive, but here. as elsewhere, i'll
news was found to fly apace. For some
half hour or so the loss seemed not to
have been ascertained, but the pro-
gressively increasing buzz of. agitation
gradually announced the growing
alarm, until shortly the whole hive
was in an uproar and all its busy oc-
cupants were seen pouring forth their
legions in search of their lost monarch
or eager to avenge with their stipgs
the insult offered to their sovereign.
On restoring the captured queen to her
subjects, with equal secrecy. the tumult
speedily subsidized and the ordinary
business of the community was re-
sumed, as before the occurrence. That
in such cases as those above narrated
information. and that rather of a COM
pick character, was transmitted by one
insect to another cannot be doubted
but by what means? All that has been
ascertained upon this point is that the
ants and bees cross their antenne in a
peculiar manner with the antenn8 of
the others that they encounter. and
this action being repeated again and
again seems to be mode of communi-
eating intelligence common among the
insect races--N. Y. Post.

Superior in Excellence and Utility to
Other Buildings.
Mr. Horace Bradley, than whom
there is no better authority on agricul-
tural matters in Scott county Ia, was q
caller at the Prairie Farmer Office a few
days since asking space in which to de-
scribe his corn crib. We have had an

Mr.. Bradley has seen one or two cuts
of corn cribs, and, as he expressed it, is
satisfied that his own is superior IN
excellence and utility to any Of them.
His corn crib has width of 2o feet and
length of 80 feet. with depth of II
feet, elevated above the ground some
feet and approached on either end by
an inclined plane driveway. The driv-
ing area is 10 feet wide allowing feet
cribs on either side. At right angles
to this driving area, in the exact CEN

width, leading to door opening upon

TIDY UP THE FARM.
Work That Requires But Little Time and
Pays Well.


In travelling through the country,
when tidy-lool<ing farm is passed,
with fences in good order, buildings
looking neat and trim, trees trimmed
and clean, we know the resident is a
person who takes pride and interest in
his farming. and that it pays him to do
it. 1t takes but a few days each year
to keep the brush cut away from the
fences, to nail up board here and
there that may have become loosened,
to keep the fences up straight, with no
weak places to tempt stock to press
through into the owners or neighbors'
fields of grain or grass, to put the i'm
plements under shelter when not in use,
to pick up boards lying about the barn
and house, to trim the fruit trees and
cut out all dead or dying branches, to
NOW the lawn at least once each year,
to arrange all gates so that they will
freely swing on their hinges, to have
well-kept garden, a good supply of
small fruit, the pump in good working
order, good supply of dry wood under.

and bushes cut down, to keep the out

take but little time. and they increase

have, in the past, neglected these
things, resolve that you will reform,

door, may at least mentally say: "a

The floor joists. extending on either

its floor are hog shelters, and hogs and
rats, like oil and water, are hostile prop
