TEMPERANCE.
FAREWELL TO TIE BOWL.

FAREWELL TO TIRE BOWL.
Farewell, gay companions, past follies, and
Farewell, gay enchanter, the bowl;
Farewell We deceitful and sinful decoys
The light has just dawned on my soul.
Ye promised me pleasure, while laughter
went round,
Till We led me to ruins dark brink;
believed, partoolS, enjoyed, and found
The road to misfortune is drink,
My strength had departed, the bloom ere /
thought
Had fed unperceived from my face,
My substance was wasted, the pleasure 1
sought
Soon ended in sin and disgrace.
My friends do not know me, and seldom
they name,
And if they once name, with blush,
lis to speak OF my errors, to grieve for my
shame,
Andto tell to what ruin rush.
But now I'm resolved, with the suocor of
grace,
To arise, and do all can
My life to reform, my steps to retrace,
And become quite temperate man.
l fear no relapse, though old habits are
II for help but fervently pray:
believe in the maxim too old to be wrong
That where there's will there's way.b
And when l shall die, keep my memory
green,
And my epitaph deeply engrave:
Here lies true soldier whose motto had
been,
Who conquers bad habits is brave"
Rev. j. Casey, in Sacred Heart Review.

expected. Young squads sell for good
price in the winter, when they are used
in the cities very often for partridges and
quail, and none but the epicure can de-
tect the difference. The cost of raising
them is very little, for they eat very little
grain or other food before they are old
enough for the market. The parent birds
feed them, and practically they "pick
up" their living in the fields and woods,
demanding only a very little extra food
from the granary. The squads are thus
practically raised at no expense at all,
and they frequently bring as high as
fifty cents pair.
There is prejudice against keeping
pigeons on the farm among many, but
this is generally founded upon some little
failure in the work which does not ap-
ply universally. Pigeons are useful on
the farm in gathering aud destroying
countless weeds and seeds. In the sum-
mer and fall they pick up their living in
the grain fields, gathering the shelled
grain that would be lost, and not picking
it from the pods. There is no better
fertilizer than pigeon manure, and when
large flocks Of them are raised they pro-
duce considerable. When the hay is out
of the NOV they should be allowed to fly
in there, and they will pick up great
deal that would be lost. They do little
or no harm, while they destroy countless
numbers of weeds in the gardens aud
fields. Of course, if corn and grain are
spread out for them daily In abundance
they will devour it, but if not given this
they will pick up their living.
A flock can easily be started and kept
at home. 1t is only when poorly treated
or the flocks become too crowded that
they leave their homes and settle else
where. Provide good nesting places and
homes for them, scatter little seed
around inside daily and protect them
from enemies, and the pigeons will stay
at home.
Cats, owls and night hawks will often
drive pigeons away from home. If these
animals and birds are around, the doors
to the pigeon lofts should be closed at
night, or some trap set for the marauders.
There are patent alghting boards and
doors now which automatically close after
the pigeon goes inside, and open again at
the will of the bird. These are good
devices for keeping the enemies out, but
the shotgun must often be called into
service. In the fall of the year there is
quite demand for old pigeons for shoot
ing clubs, and the old stock, which may
be too tough to sell for their flesh, can
often be disposed of in this way. The
flocks should be increased as large as
possible every year, for they like COM
pany, and it gives more life and interest
to place to see pigeons flying around
IN flocks.-American Cultivator.

Fifty years ago the public were Of
cred as a valuable medicinal substance
what was called Seneca oil. This, as is
common with many less useful remdies,
was alleged to be an Indian cure for
many disorders. Later it was recognized
as the common petroleum that soon
flowed in vast quantities from the wells
and is now a household word. And
under its refined condition, as kerosene,
this oil, rs useful remedy for certain
uses, should not be made light Of, how
ever it may be as a combustibe for use
in the HOUSEHOLD lamps. To the poultry
man it is invaluable as preventive
against all kinds of injurious vcrmin,
including the destructive gapeworm,
which succumbs at once to few drops
poured in the young birds throat. It
frees the horses from lice and the sheep
and lambs from ticks, and in the garden,
as an emulsion made with soapy water,
it destroys every minute insect that it
touches. In the laundry it serves to
loosen the dirt and stains from the cloth
ing; it is the best thing to clean the
gummed connections of machinery and
TO loosen rusted bolts. And in house.
hold medicine it is useful as a liniment
for bruises and burns, and as counter
irritant in cases of common Inflammation
of internal organs.
The crude oil is of still more value,
and is more safely used on account
of its milder form. 1t may be used
for painting implements and the handles
of tools, for fences and outbuildings,
and for preserving shingles on a roof it
is unapproached by any other substance.
And, curiously, although it is so in1am-
mable when so used, the shingles are not
easily set on fire. 1t is a good lubricant
for axles in the winter, and for heavy
and slow moving shafting at all times.
When made into an emulsion, or soap
with lime, it kills the sheep scab insect,
and If this mixture is painted on the
fruit trees it repels the borers, and the
pestilent rabbits and mice that gnaw the
hork.-New York Times.

DRUNKENNESS DESTROYS LOVE FOR eon


Mark the drunkard CO .ng out of one
place when he has been filed; he goes into
another saloon for more. Well, [ saw any
man who gives drink to one he sees already
under its influence is a soul-murderer; words
OF condemnation are not strong enough on
him. Behold the drunkard coming ont az
one OF those low places, letting fall from his
lips oaths the most shocking, blasphemy the
most revolving, that would make the very
devils in hell shudder. Looking around the
church Sunday morning, we see poor
woman, hidden, perhaps, in some corner of
the church, ashamed to be seen because of
the poverty of her clothing or some other
such reason. Ask her where is her husband.

Shells on the Carolina Coast.

collection of these during his summer

Give the fowls all the range and exer-
else the weather will permit during the
winter.
Remember that the sheep will thrive
well upon oat straw, if it has not been
threshed.
Fasten small box TO the side of the
hen house to hold oyster shells, ground
bone or grit.
If raw meat is given to the fowls too
often it will cause bowel diseases. Once
a week is enough.

Several farmers each with small flocks
of sheep will usually make more money
than one farmer with large flock.
Grooming the COWS is not often done,
but it would add to their spirit and COM
fort, however, as well as promote clean
illness.
One advantage with ducks about the
yard and garden is that they do not
scratch, although they are voracious
eaters.
The farmer3' troubles will not be
solved until wo educate our children to

When fowls, apparently we'll cared
for and properly fed, grow poorer and
poorer and waste gradually away, look
out for the large head louse, and grease
their heads and necks with melted
lard.
Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, N. Y. who
made much of his money in early life upon
a farm, once said there never was dollar
made fattening an animal. If you make
any money it must be on the growth and
not on fat.
Pumpkins are an excellent thing fol
fowls. Split into halves and put in the
poultry yards, and watch them ''go foi
it." They will eat out the seeds in {.
hurry aud will pick at the meat many
times during the day.

When cuttings are being rooted by

A GOSPEL TEMPERANcr wAcnr-

The Rev. g. K. Flack, Of the Halsted
Street Mission, Chicago, has novel idea for
lessening the consumption of beer among the
workmen in the lumber district He has
started what he calls Gospel Wagon, with
a cabinet organ in one end and a coffee tank
in the other. The wagon makes the rounds
OF the lumber yards at noon. When the men
start out for beer the music on the organ be-
gins and placard is hung over the coffee
tank, Coffee is better than beer, and YOU
can get it here for nothing" The men are
taking kindly to the Gospel songs If the
movement proves a success other wagons
will circulate in the labor districts.

Rev. Z. L. Hubbard, preached an in
terestin9 sermon in Union NJ. T..
Church on Sunday morning, from the
18th verse OF the End chapter Of Haba-
kuk: Woe unto him who glveth his
neighbor strong drink. etc." In his
opening remarks he said In 1743 John
and Charles Wesley drew up resolu
tions In regard to the evil OF drinking
Intoxicating liquor and tho expediency
Of living upright and honorable lives.
In 1890 John Wesley published a
pamphlet denouncinR dram drinking
and buying and selling spirituous
liquors in the strongest terms. A
clause was inserted in the Methodist
discipline in conformity with the
above, but 1t was afterwards taken
out, as the people became debauched
by the use of liquor. and minister's
and class leaders engaged to some ev-
tent. not only in drinking but even
inndistilling ard selling liquor.
After the split OF the church In 1913
on account OF slavery, the temperance
agitation was revived, and clause
discouraging intemperance was again
inserted in the Discipline never TO be
ernsed. He read the resolutions adopt.
ed at the recent session of conference
denUunclnR the liquor traffic and the
quor, and contendealthat any other evil
could with equal proprlety he licensed.
He wished voters to pause aud think
before casting their ballots OF the re-
sponsibility resting upon them. The
liquor traffic not only impoverished
but ruined millions OF our people. He
said some years ago II banker paid out
700 new notes to a manufacturer to
pay to his hands.
In few days there were deposited
In the bank by saloon-keepers. 420 OF
these notes, and 1t may be that a por.
tion of the remaining $50 also passed
into the same hands. 1t was not sur
prising therefore that so many people
were poor, and that their children
went without shoes and stockings.
He also denounced men who found
fault with preachers and others who
condemned immoral practices or hab.
Its. and tntimated that IL riches result
ed from such practices that punish
ment will follow in the world to come
| II not on this earth. In proof OF this
he referred to the ruin OF the young
mon OF our land, including In the list
OF victims the favorite sou of Henry
Clay, the grandson OF Patrick Henry,
and other dlstingui shed oiaract RS
he referred to the question of voting
and said he was not prepared to say
what the different parties would do In
regard to the saloon, but he hoped
that every one would endeavor to real.
lie his responsibility in the matter
The big preacher should row the boat
or vote, while the little ones prayed.
In the course OF his remarks he re-
ferred to cat having killed Eirds, and
he thought 1t was right to kill her in
stead oil giving her a license.
