On the Farms.

b Augusta, February 23.-'The mid-win-
ter bulletin of the State Board of Agri-
culture. issued today, says THAT 81 silos
habe been built in the state the past year
and all report that they are well pleased
with them. Secretary McKeen is led to
the conclusion that while the number of
farm stock may have fallen off some
what, their value for work or production
has increased by reason of better care
and more liberal feeding. The principal
falling off has been in sheep in numbers
and horses in value. The tendency is
toward clover feeding, all coarse folders,
with supplementaries of grain.

Washington, June 27.-The original
CoXcy army is not anxious TO extend

Frye and his men went over to the

little to offer their fellow commonweal-

dwindling. No interest is taken in
them now by the public, and contribu-

Children.

1t is a great mistake to think a
child can be trained into any shape
desired. Inherent nature is there and
it will make itself manifest.
| saw this illustrated Yesterday. Two
children, four or FIVE years old, were
playing out on the grass before my
window. After awhile l laid aside my
pen and fell to watching them. Then
1t was that l beheld one child calmly
pulling the heads and legs off from
grass hoppers, and the other child pick
Ing the pieces up and crying bitterly
over them. Going out to reinforce
her and incidentally rescue whatever
hapless grass-hoppers that might re-
main whole, beheld another scene
in the tableaux. The fearful child was
digging a grave and tenderly laying
the dead grass hoppers IN it, while the
other one was looking around for a
new victim on which she could lay
her vandal hands. when she espied
the family cat and suddenly cut part
OF its tail off with pair Of scissors.
| was as much astonished as the poor
cat, and when l recovered myself and
proceeded to give her what she de-
served, a good shaking, she did not
cry but seemed to be rejecting on re-
venge, and she is now probably salts
fed, for have made the pleasant dis.
covery that she has cut seven circular
pieces out Of the best dress l have in
the world.

effect on her than summer zephyr.
| sometimes think it stimulates her to
new ways of showing how mean even
a little mortal can sometimes bell.
