came from drink.
Charles Buxton, member of parlia-
ment, said that because of drink there
were 5O0, 900 homes in the United King
dom where home happiness was un-
known.
The point is settled that more than
three-fourths of the poverty and paupcr-
ism of the country, and more than nine
tenths of its crime, comes from drink.
1t is settled by the highest medical
authority in England that "a large pro-

Scabby Potatoes.

In addition to the rot that is occasion
ally SO destructive to potatoes, the crop
is more or less subject to scab. Various
theories are advocated as its cause, but
let the primary cause be what it may
experience leads to the conclusion that
the occurrence Of scab depends on eer-
tain conditions of moisture and soil,
writes a New Jersey farmer, who fur
thermore says:
While we may have more or less rain
than we desire some seasons, one can,
by selecting favorable soil for planting,
greatly lessen the prevalence of scab, if
not entirely escape it. For three years
/ raised some potatoes on heavy un-
drained land, well manured-both stable
manure and a commercial one being
used together. The yield was fairly
good one. but a great many of the
tubers were scabby. For the last two
years l have planted on a light open
soil. where the rain quickly descends
through it, so that in day or two there
is no excess of moisture near the sur
face. have used only one kind of fer
tilizer. the Mapes special potato manure,
and have not been troubled with scab.

Bee Buzzings.

The American Bee Journal says: "a
good remedy for bee stings is to cut an
onion in two and apply the cut surface
to the wound.
Not securing the hives, sections, foun-
dations and other supplies in season is a
mistake made year after year by many
beekeepers.

Milk In Hot Weather,

Nights milk that will not keep sweet
and pure till 10 a. m. the next day is not

o'clock in the morning. When nights
milk has been improperly cared for in
summer it will begin to age rapidly the
next morning just at the critical period
of cheesemaking, the scalding up pro-
cess of the curd.
This is one Of the most disastrous
things that can happen in cheesemak-
ing, for If acid gets firm hold on the
soft. partially cooked curd, no after
amount of high scalding will abort a
sour cheese. The most aggravating
point is that all the trouble began back

A Little Boys Hymn.

In April, 1894, there appeared in The
Gospel Magazine hymn. emitted
"Shame of Jesus Conquered by Love- "
by youth of ten years. 1t was the pro-
duction of boy named Joseph Grigg,
who wrote it about the year 1873, and
who in 1743 became tho copastor Of the
Presbyterian church in Silver street,
London. but who ut this early period OF
his life had been touched ut heart by the
Gospel, and led to believe on tho Lord
Jesus Christ, and to know him as his Sa-
viour and his friend. This hymn, though
written and published SO long ago. has
not yet lost the sweetness of its SAVIOR.
but is precious to many a Christian heart
today. Here is the hymn. rs slightly
altered by Benjamin Francis, who gave
it to the public:
Jesus. and shall It ever he
A mortal man ashamed Of theef
Ashamed of thee. whom angels praise.
Whose giories shine through endless daysf
Ashamed of Jesus, sooner far
Lot evening blush to own a star;
lie sheds the beams of light divine
Ger this benightcd soul of mine.
Ashamed Of Jesus, just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed Of noon:
TITS midnight with my soul till he,
Bright Morning Star, bids darkness hee.
Ashamed Of Jesus, that dear friend
On whom my hopes Of bliss dependf
No; when blush be this my shame,
That no more revere his name.
Ashamed Of Jcsus1 yes. may,
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tears to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to Qucll, no soul to save.
Till then-nor Is my boastinR vain
Till then I boast @ Saviour slain;
And, oh! may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me.

yard Of tho city resident, and holding a
conspicuous place among the favorites
of the fancier. Such a wide distribution
betokens solid merit, for while the fan
cier cares particularly for form and
feather, the farmer. the farmers wife
and the city housewife want eggs and
flesh. The Leghorn will give as many
of the former rs one could reasonably
ask hen to give, although individual
specimens will not furnish as great an
amount of flesh as individuals of somy
other breed. AS for beauty, it is diff
cult to find birds Of more pleasing color
or graceful form.
1t is not generally known that Brown
Leghorns can be bred to quite large size,
writes Webb Donnell, Massachusetts
poultryman, in The Country Gentleman
from which this cut is reproduced. Mr..
Donnell, who favors decreasing the size
of the comb as usually seen on leghorn
fowls. says:
To get the greatest possible value from
the breed. the chickens should be Matched
as early as possible. 1t is great mis-
take to suppose they can well be Matched
out late in the season simply because
they mature quickly. Hatched late, the
pullets will rarely lay before the follow
ing spring, when eggs will shortly BIO at
their lowest point They should be
Matched so rs to be got to laying by the
list of September. The six dozen Of
eggs which each one ought to lay be-
tween that time and late winter, meet
ing the highest prices of the year, will
go long way toward making the Leg
horn one Of the most profitable breeds.
Bpt if one expects to secure good results
with these fowls, he must make up his
mind to give them plenty of room and
plenty of opportunities to indulge their
passion for activity, for without such
conditions they will prove exceedingly
unremunerative.
Looking at the breed from fancy
point of view, it should be the aim of
the breeder to secure males with rich
cherry red hackles, holding this color to
the back, with a metallic black stripe
through each feather; with rich black
breasts and bodies, and with wing bows
of solid red, not intermixed with black
feathers. 1t is difficult TO secure good
stripping in the saddle feathers, though
this should be sought. 1t is desirable
that the females should be of a rich.
deep color, both ON backs and breasts,
rather than that of that faded, washed
out appearance so often seen. Such rich
looking birds, with hackles that have II
solid black stripe. free from penciling.
will prove source of much satisfaction
to their owners.
