FARM AND HOME.
THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.
PRO BOZ o PUBLICo.

OH the old, old clock of the household stock
Was the brightest thing, and neatest;
Its hands, though old, had touch of gold,
And its chime rang still the sweetest.
Twas monitor, 100, though its words were few
Yet they lived though nations altered;
And Its voice, still strong, warned old and young
When the voice of friendship faltered.
"Tics, tick it said, 'quick to bed,
For ten I've given warning;
Up, up, and go, or else, you know,
You'll never rise soon in the morning.
A freinly voice was that old, old clock,
AS 1t stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the time with merry chime,
The w1ntry hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was the tiresome clock
As II called at daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked grey DER the misty way
And the earl y air blew coldy.
Tick, tick it said "quick out of bed,
For five I've given warning;
You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth
Unless yon>fe up soon in the morning"
Still hourly the sound goes round and round,
With a tone that ceases never:
With tears shed for the bright days fed
And the OLD friends lost forever.
Its heart beats on, though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger;
Its hands still move-though hands we love
Are Clasped on earth no longer.
Tick, tick, - it said, "to the ChurCEyard bed,
The grave hath given warning,
Up, up, and rise, and look TO the skies,
And prepare for a heavenly morning"

Is constantly ignored in our villages and

The great strain on this principle I'M

Growing Cranes.

Grapes are so easily multiple from
layers and cuttings that grating onto old
stocks is not advised. Where old ones
have cultivated their usefulness and it is
still desired to continue grapes upon the
sumo ground, the most successful way will
be to start from new stocks. And so the
transplanting of roots of an old vine to
another place with the expectation of
getting fruit sooner than from new plant
will usually be disappointing. Better
leave the old one where 1t is and plant
new one elsewhere. By training some of
the low branches along the ground and
covering the joints with earth new shoots
and roots can soon be raised, and In that
way and by cuttings the same variety can
be propagated to almost any extent desir-
ed. Nothing is gained by trying to save
long portion of vine above ,round in
trdnsplanting, even if CORRESPONDENCE
long roots are taken up with 1t. Two or
three good, healty buds above ground are
better than a long reach of vine. The
main thing is TO have a good supply of
tibrous roots. On young plants these will
be found nearer the base than on older
ones, and are, therefore, more likely to be
taken up entire when removed. Grapes
with anything like good treatment will
grow in almost any soil, but when bones
and other slowly decomposing substances
or richer earth is put in the hole with the
roots the vines will be benefited by it

The Plough in the West.

The Peoria Transcript says: 1T looks
as though the plough would have to fall
to the rear as a farm implement. From
ali parts of the west comes the advice,
don't plow your ground for oats Plough
ing is slow, hard on the horses, and when
done is not as good as surface cultivation
with cultiyator and disk harrow. More
than half the oa!s sown in this part OF
Illinois are covered with a pulverizer or
corn cultivator. This means of putting in
oats Is much more rapid, and the crops as
d rule are better than tn ose from the
slower way of ploughing the land and
then covering with harrow.
During the past four seasons our
farmers have been experim anting with the
pulyeTlzer as tool to prepare the seabed
fol a corn crop. They first clear the land
OF stalks, then put four horses on the pull
verizar, turn the disks to an angle where
they will dig and throw, and dig up
the surface of twelve or fourteen acres a
day. By going over this twice or three
times the surface is thoroughly pulverized
to the depth OF three or four inches, and
In the best possible condition to put on
the planter. Those who have tried this
are enthusiastic In praise Of this plan, and
say trey have no further use for the old
plough outside of doing = little fall
ploughing. One of the great advantages
of pulverizing instead of ploughing is
found in not having to harrow, plank or
roll in order to reduce the Gods that so
often turn up IN spring ploughing.''

money and by the great success Of the
coal speculation, now extends to wheat
and threatens to restrict exports.
Notwithstanding the fact that ex-
ports of wheat have been diminishing

improvement is seen in most
lines and trade is larger than

also exceeds last years records. As

of exposure to the atmosphere. A thick
covering of soft clay should be placed on

To save favorite tree it has be re-
commended to insert long cions over the
wound by pairing them thin On both ends
and placing one end under the bark on
the upper eige of the wourd and the
other under the bark at the lower edge.
Then wax the points of union thoroughly

sometimes be established. Generally,

ABORIGINEs AND COPPER.
An Interesting Discovery of Tools In tn,
Keweenaw Mines

Keweenaw Mines.
A peninsula called Keweeuaw point.
jutting into Lake Superior from the
southern shore toward the northeast, is
famous as the center of the vast copper
mining industry, says the Chicago News.
Last year the mines produced no less than
los, $50, 900 pounds of refined copper, and
it is estimated that during the next year
the production will be increased by at
least 20 per cent. E. B. Hinsdale, who
contributes to the latest bulletin of the
American Geographical society an article
on the subject, has much that is interest
ing to say about the numerous prehistoric
mines which have been found in this
region.
These ancient mines, judging from
their extent, must have been worked Tor
centuries. Who the workers were no one
can tell. They seem to have known moth
ing Of the smelling OF copper. What
they sought were pieces that could be
fashioned by cold hammering into useful
articles and ornaments. They understood
the use of fire IN softening the rocks TO
enable them to break away the rock from
the masses of copper. They could not
drill but used the stone hammer freely.
More than ten cart loads of stone ham
mers were found in the ueighborhood Of
the Minnesota mine. In one place the
excavation was about fifty feet deep and
at the bottom were found timbers forming
a scatfolding, and large sheet of copper
was discovered there. IN another place,
IN Que of the old pits. was found a mass
of copper weighing forty-six tons. At
another point the excavation was twenty
six feet deep.
In another, opening at the depth of
eighteen feet, mass Of copper weighing
over six tons was found, raised about five
feet trem It's native bed by the ancients,
and secured on oaken props, Every pro-
leCting point had been taken off. so that
the exposed surface was smooth. Who
ever the workers may have been, many
centuries must have passed since their
mines were abandoned The trenches and
openings have been filed up or nearly so.
Monstrous trees have grown over their
work and fallen TO decay, other genera
tons of trees springing up. When the
mines were rediscoyered decayed trunks
Of large trees were lying over the works,
while heavy growth Of live timber stood
on the ground

Christian endeavors so Ineffective with ap-
parently kind, open, intelligent people.
What is the real reason? Because the
heart is what governs, and logic is not

Winter Dairying

The increasing interest in winter dairy
ing Is coineioent with greatly increased
care IN keeping them sheltered from storms
and provided with good, succulent food.
Milk is not possible in profitable quanti-
ties If cows are fed only on dry hay and
cornstalks. It will not be rich in car
boneceauS matter, which the COW can
change into cream and butter fat No
matter how good the feed, the milk will
not be rich If the COW is exposed to severe
cOld. The carbon in this case goes to
maintain animal heat, and results in the
blue, thin milk that is so common from
thin and poorly fed cows in cold winter
weather.
