AGRICULTURAL HINTS
KEEP HUMPlN'. /"

remember tho time when was q lad
An lived on the farm long with ma and dad;
In the long. hot days how I'd have to hoe
Out in the corntield. row after row:
How I'd think Of the fishes that lay in tn
brook,
An just a-longin to take my hook
An line, an sprawl by that ole trout stream,
For 1 loved in them days to leaf an to dream
An watch the fish a-jumpin':
Then I'd groan an bemoan my unfortunate
I'd go to my father an say: Its so hot
Can't the corn an pertatoes wait we'll as not?'
But my father he'd say,
In a stern sort of way:
keep hu.npin'."
Then I'd work with O will till each sep'rat.
Stood forth without airy a weed to show;
An each little rock would duly install
In its proper niche in the ole crumblin' wall.
An I'd say to my father. as proud as could be.
I've finished my work. dad!" an then in high
glee
on I'd go, hoppin an jumpin';
Then he'd say: Its well done, exceptin' one
spot:
Now bring down them cows from the north
pasture lot
There's no time to shirk q farmer has got"

Keep humpin'.''
Take this for your maxim. and may it e'er be
Deep-seated and firm as the roots of a tree:
Whatever your work, whether peddling corn
Salve or door-mats. or tootin a horn,
Or sellin Of clothes-line or cloth by the yard
You II find that your duty'u be much the les.
hard
If YOU put to your labor the heft of your soul,
Half-hearted won't win-you can't fetch the
goal
BY occasional skippin an jumpin':
II you re fully determined, my friend to git
there
You mustn't sit down by the wayside anG

You can gather more courage from fervent

And. as father would say,
In q stern sort of way:

Lime and Poultry Diseases.

Lime will destroy the germs of roup.
and is also the best preventive of
gapes in chicks known. Wherever lime
is applied literally over the floors and
yards, roup soon disappears. The
process is slow, however; but when
lime is used to prevent the appearance
of the disease it has proved the best
agent for that purpose that has been
tested. Lime is cheap. and small
quantity that is sufficiently slaked to
permit of its falling into a fine powder
and we'll busted over the premises oc-
cupied by the chicks once q week will
prove highly beneficial. 1t may be
freely scattered over the platforms
and on the walls and roosts also, as
lice will not relish it in its caustic con-
dition. If a gill of spirits of turpen-
tine is incorporated with every peck Of
the slaked lime. it will be an addition
al advantage.

POrrfdge for Inyalids.

An excellent porridge for persons
kept on liquid diet is made from one
pint of milk, one rounded tablespoon
full of white -four. Heat the milk in a
double boiler and mix the meal and
flour with little cold milk. When
the milk is hot, stir in the flour and
meal and cook thirty minutes, stirring
occasionally. Strain into hot bowl
and season. Nothing is more nauseat-
ing than thick lumpy Cruel. If milk
Cruel is ordered for patient, make it
in the same way as the above, using
one tablespoonful of flour. To vary
the flavor, if the patient is kept on the
cruel some time. boil a dozen raisins in
a little water and then cook them in
the milk. Strain before using and do
not break the raisins in the milk. The
froth white of an egg stirred into this
Cruel makes it very nutritious. Do not
add it, however, until the Cruel is
taken from the fire. - Detroit Free

Inc New National Library VIII Hold For,

In the library itself, while a dozen rooms
elsewhere in the building are filled
with the overflow. With the need in

years to make up its mind to erect a Ii
orary building, but finally in April.

site was chosen on Capitol hill
olrectiy east of the capitol itself. and
S1'o'ooo was appropriated for its pur-
chase Forty or fifty buildings had to
De removed before excavations could he
made for the foundation. 1t took a.7OC
1eet OF fencing IL feet high to inclose
the ground, and it was nearly four
years after the fence was built before
any part OF the building was visible
over its top. There is a great deal of
'ne horary-470 feet long by $40 feet
wioe. IL covers Ill, 200 square feet of
ground and will be 40 feet in height
from the ground to the top of the dome
when finished. That is, next to the
capitol, it will be the largest edifice in
Washington and the largest library
building in thesworld.
When congress did decide to do the
work it was pleased to have it done
well. The utmost care was used in
securing a firm foundation. and the
best of material has been put into the
superstructure. All the material is
of home manufacture except the
white enameled brick When the con-
tract was made in 1883 no enameled
brick were made in this country-cer-
talnly not in sufficient quantities Sew
eral states are represented in the con-
struction of the library building. New
Hampshire and Maryland furnish the
granite: the structural iron work came
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Indiana: the ordinary brick are made
within the District of Columbia. and
the floor thing comes from Massachu-
settles and Vermont. THE new IL
prary building" declares Mr.. Spofford,
will suffice for $50 years to come.
When it is finished it will hold 1000. 900

are now embraced in any library in the

full million more volumes than that of
Great Britain, the next largest. Ger

A BAD Practice.

The practice of removing little black
spots from the skin particularly from
around the lobes of the nose) by painful
pressure is bad one. First, it deforms
the nose, and. secondly. it increases the
very secretion of which you seek to rid
yourself. You should destroy the enemy
in it's own home by dissolving it. Take
a little piece of cotton. steep it in sui
phuric ether, and friction softly the
little black points. Renew the opera
ton several days in succession; you will
see them disappear as if by enohant-
nent.-Chicago Journal.
