THE DOLLS wooIsG.

The little French doll was dear little doll
1rtexed out in the sws etest of dressed:
Her eyes were OF hue
most delicate blue
And dark as the night were her tresses;
Her dear little mouth was futrd aud red.
And this little French doll was so very well
bred
That Whenever sccosted her little mouth said:
sMAmmai Mammal"
The stoekinef doll, with one arm and one leg,
Had once besn handsome young feliows
But now he appeared
Rather Irowzy and beared
In his torn regimentals 0f yellow;
Yet bis heart gave curious thhmp as he lag
In the iittie toy cart near the window one day
And heard the sweet voice of that French dolly
say.
Mammal Mammal
he listened 80 long and he listened so hard
That anon he grew ever so tender,
For it's everywhere known
That the feminine tone
Gets away with all masculine gender.
he up aud he wooed her with soldieFiy Eest,
Bat all she'd reply TO the love he professed
We're these plaintfve words (which perhaps you
have guessed:
Mammal Mammal"
Her mother-a sweet little lady OF Ave
fouehsafed her parental protection.
And although stOcklnet
Wasn't biue-biooded yet.
She really could make no objection.
80 soldier and dolly were welded one day.
And moment ago. as journeyed that way,
I'm sure that heard a wee baby voice say:

Restoring Fertility.

VIM. II. Glasscock, of Brunswick,
Mo-, writes to the journal of Agricul-
ture an interesting experience. He
says:
Having rented out thirty acres of
my land for several years, it having
been planted in corn each year, was al
most unfit for anything, l concluded to
try to restore its productiveness. I
sowed it in wheat, then in the spring
in clover When | cut my wheat l
found very poor stand of clover. On
July 20 l began to plow again for
wheat, using calling coulters and
chains, so as to hide everything in the
way of the drill began to SOW my
wheat September 10. When / cut this
crop of wheat l had about half stand
of clover. In September following |
sowed in wheat again, having begun
my blowing on July %. The blowing
under the clover seemed to make the
ground fresh and new. After cutting
this third crop of wheat had perfect
stand of clover.
Inc HrsI crop Oh WneaJ ylelueu
about eight bushels per acre; the Sec
ond crop yielded twenty-five bushels,
and the third crop twenty-eight bush
| els per acre.
"This, the fourth year, l have plant
ed the thirty acres in corn, having
plowed the land in the fall, and not
withstanding the severe drought, l
have splendid prospect for frst-class
corn.
81 do heartily recommend blowing
under clover as a fertilizer VIM H..

DURING the past five years the pro-
duction of tin in the Dutch East Indies
and the straits settlements has in
creased greatly. The shipments to
Europe and America to the end Of Au-
gust, 1894, were 44,11s tons, as against
27,557 tons in 1890. The syndicate
which is trying to corner the market
will have to obtain control of this
source of supply to succeed, as well as
of the visible supply, which was over
10000 tons in August and only $4,000
tons year ago. Westminster Gazette.

HERE AND THERE.

One of the most prolific causes of
lameness in horses, and the shrivelling
of muscles and loss of strength result
ing therefrom, is corns.
An over-ripened cream gives us
strong suggestion of putrefaction and
decay, and the resulting butter is bad
in both taste and flavor.
Bronze turkeys are taking the lead
on account of their immense size, and
Kentucky takes the lead for producing
some of the finest in the country.
"A Missouri farmer has purchased
eighteen thousand barrels to pack his
crop of apples, and thinks that he will
have to buy two or three thousand
more.
1t seems to be popular delusion
says writer, that fruit when arranged
for shipment in warm weather should
require special care for ventilation.
The opposite of this is true.

was the American bred ram Gold Drop,
bred by Mr.. Thornton, of New York,
and exported as lamb in 1891. He
brought $4,000

the time it reaches the bearing age.
TO buy poor trees because they are
sold cheaper is rank folly. The best
tree in any nursery is none too good to

and above all the time it stands in the
orchard occupying valuable space, that
makes it costly. So put up with no old
scrubby trees with poor roots. Some
varieties are small in growth in the
nursery that will develop into good
orchard trees. As rule the nursery.
