Another leaf in the great book Of
Time and Fate has been turned. An
other page on the ledger of human
affairs opened. We stand to-day in
the doorway of 1894.
In taking retrospective view of the
past year how have things balanced
mp Blessings and misfortunes have
come in a mysterious way. Disasters
and financial wrecks have overtaken
many of our fellow citizens. The
kaleidoscope of our existence is ever
changing-showlng beautiful forms
and colors, mixed with the gay and
joyous, the sombre and sad-and to
many it looks like an unequal distribu-
ton Of blessings. Bat with it all there
are practical lessons to learn.
We are too apt to contract our
vision into the immediate present, and
to forget that in the distribution oil

on wonderful uniform system Of
general averages. There is every
reason for faith in the future. This
or that passing evidence of social
degeneracy is, after all, but mere
speck in the great moral universe.

be essentially affected by the indi-
vidual shortcomings, now and then,
which possess the narrow vislul of the

A NEW YEARS SONG.
BY FRANK L. STANTON.

Into Thy perfect peace,
Lead us, dear Christ, in Thy divine New
Let all the storms that beat our vessels
While rainbows rich appear!
Give TO the hungry, food
Make all the blind Thy loveliest light to
see,
And in the city and the solitude,
Make men to look to Thee
Bring every heart and home
Close to that Calvary that claims the
cross;
And that from Thy flowery footprints
Give them Thy gain for loss
Make all the world to know
Thy loving kindness in the dark and
day.
And these sad lips that name and shame
Teach them the words to say
Make all Thy dear will plain
So none may wander from its sweet en-
Hasten the harvests with Thy bounteous
And give the reapers Joy!
But grant us-mOre than ALL
To know through tears and prayings
tremulOus,
The robe Thou didst from Calvary let
Crimsoned with love for US

The South Farming More Wisely
TEhiladelphia Record.

The Manufaeturers' Record, in a
review of the business condition Of
the South, shows that the farmers Of
that section a-e now largely engaged
in raising grain crops and provisions,
supplies of which character they for
merly purchased in the West; and in
the language of the writer, "the full
result is that this section is probably
less in debt to the North and West for
supplies than in any year since the
war ended"
The thrifty condition of the South,
as revealed by this showing, makes
plain the beneficial fruits of diversified
agricultural methods. For many con-
secutive years the planters ofthe South
made the mistake of devoting nearly all
their acreage to the growing of cotton,
with the result of producing larger
crops than could at times be harvested
or marketed to advantage. Convinced
by costly experience of the unwisdom
of such course, they have abandoned
the policy of putting all the eggs in
one basket and have taken to grow
ing many necessaries of life, which,
under their former easy-going system
of living, they we're accustomed to
purchase. Diversihcation of their
crops has already proven good thing
for Their pockets and it will prove a
good thing also tor their farms.
Of course, the economic change will
make it more essential than ever that
the West shall have freer access to the
markets of the outer world for its sur.
plus cereals and pork !; but fortunately
the new revenue system outlined by
the Ways and Means Committee, and
soon to be enacted by Congress, will
60 as far as possible in opening the
gates of commerce outward, and make
work as we'll for the men who plow
the water as for those who plow the
land.

CrammIng Poultry.

Some years ago several firms tried to
Introduce into this coutry the French
method of fattening poultry by forcing
liquid food down their throats. 1t was
not a success here. and a good many ma
chimes are now gathering rust. In En-
gland the scheme is still practiced An
English paper gives this account of the
operation on farm where over two
thousand tons of poultry are sold every
year. great many young chicks are
bought and many are bred on the place
a cross of Dorking and Indian game be-
ing considered best for this purpose:
''They are put into the fattening pens
when four 10 seven months OF age. Dur

feed themselves on a mixture Of oatmeal,
barley meal and water. After this they
are crammed twice day with a mixture
of Oat meal barley meal, skim milk, and
a little boiled fat or suet-refuse from

are mixed with the food TO keep the birds

Woman and Poverty.

It is hard to the woman Of small means
and luxurious tastes TO keep within her
income and abreast with the times. but
a little sound sense in the way of find
ing out short cuts to economy will work
wonders.
The woman who has learned to make
a good appearance upon next TO nothing
becomes an object Of envy to her less
fortunate sisters. 1t is largely a ques-
ton of investigation, Of watching sales.
of shopping properly, of making 81 buy
81 worth Of goods. And only that Sc
we're neutrality-suspicious. teach all
this. A woman can be dignified even if
she is poor, nor should she feel that be-
cause poverty has flung it's somber cloak
about her she should draw its folds still
closer and hide herself from the pure
sunshine of the world or the kindly
friendship of her friends.
Too many women are inclined when
poor to withdraw into a shell, snail fash
ion, and become grabbed and poverty
spoiled. Poverty is not the greatest Of
crimes. as many suppose. There are lots
of things worse than that. and wealth
is not the alpha and omega of happi-
ness.
The woman of fine nature Will accept
this fact gracefully and by her example
look on the bright side Of life, to look
her fiances squarely in the face and
avoid laying out her money in unneces-
sary expenditure. By a bit of fore
thought a small sum Of money can work
wonders, as the active, fine-natured
woman who has learned Ii all well
knows.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

SiIage for Pigs.

Since clover and grass proved so bene-
fetal to swine as a summer food the cost
of making pork has been considerably re-
duced. The next question to consider,
however is whether we can correspond
ingly reduce the cost of winter feeding.
This question has already been answered
in the practical demonstration of breed
ers in wintering fine animals on silage.
1t is only recently that experiments have
been made along this line, both at the
stations and by practical farmers, and
the results show that swine can be
wintered on silage, so that they will
thrive almost as well as on grain diet.
By this method the fall pigs can be
wintered very cheaply. and when spring
comes they can be fattened up on corn
and sold In time to secure the high prices
obtained in April and May. They can be
got out of the way then in time for the
new filters Of pigs.
Like all other animals, swine are badly
affected by sour inferior silage. and
diseases may be started very easily in
this way. The necessity OF cutting and
curing and keeping the silage properly
is evident This should be fed to the
swine in the winter at the rate Of one
quarter to half bushel per day to each
animal If the sOWs have good, warm
quarters and a roomy yard to run around
in they will do we'll on this feed. A
mixture OF Drdn, InlOOnnSSs swirl OF some
other grain food, will make the ration
a more balanced one, and give results
that will be more satisfactory to the
majority of farmers.
The swine, as a rule. eat up the Silage
very clean, not one pint TO the bushel
being wasted If there is any waste less
quantity should be given, for 1t shows
that they are being fed too much of it.
Occasionally il will be found that other
feed will have TO be given the animals
as a change from the exclusive diet Of
silage and II this change is made for
few weeks the animals will return TO the
silage again eagerly.
The question OF causing disease among
hogs by feeding them silage has been
started largely by those who have fed
the animals poor silage. Either the farm
ers do not understand how 10 preserve
the silage corn. or some accident has
soured it on their hands. Naturally we
hear complaints from them, and not only
do they condemn the use of silage for
pigs. but for nearly all other animals.
1t might be well at this time of the year
to make a thorough study Of preserving
silage for winter use.-American Guilt

Mrs. Judd,s Laundry.

Mrs. Isabel Judd of Chicago, who was
left a widow a few years ago without
means, is making a fortune by a high
class laundry. She had been accustomed
to opulence and tried in vain to turn her
various accomplishments to pecuniary ac-
count before she hit upon her present
business The Isabella laundry makes
a speciality of doing up fine table linen,
which it is hard to get well Numbered.
1t washes and delivers thousands of
napkins daily to the different Chicago
clubs. 1t is run wholly by women, who
find the pay better and the surroundings
pleasanter than in a factory.
Mrs. Judd takes pains to make the
work-rooms comfortable and attractive
She provides a place where the women
and girls can get themselves a warm
lunch and has rented and tastefully fur

have not homes of their own. No work
is done after $50. Hence women of ex-
