spring,
From now on till new oats comes,
feed will be very scarce. But prospects
30 far this spring are in favor of a
bountiful harvest this year.
We are glad to note the recovery of
A. w. Bowman's children from scarlet
fever. The quarantine has been raised
and once more they can breathe the
air of freedom.
After along and severe struggle with
scarlet fever the oldest child of MI.
and Mrs. Frank Booton died last Thurs
day morning and was buried in the
Viola cemetery the same evening.
1t is our private opinion that the
coming silver party will cut more of a
figure in Audubon county politics than
the populists ever did and 1t would not
be surprising to see it the dominant
party.
We read with much interest the
Greeley correspondents statement that
they had raised fifty thousand bushels
of corn last year in spite of the drouth,
but the birthstone street reference
was passed over with casual notice, as
we are used to that in Viola.
James McGOvern died Cat o'clock
on Sunday morning, aged about
sixty-six years. Mr.. McGovern was in
good health, as was thought, and quite
able to do considerable work. He
plowed in the field on Saturday and
went to bed feeling as well as usual
At o'clock Sunday morning he arose
from his bed and walked about the
room and then lay down again. Mrs
McGovern spoke to him but received
no reply. She got up and lit the light
just in time to see him gasp once and
then expire. Mr.. MCGOyern was the
former store keeper at Viola CenLel
but for years past he has lived a quiet
life OH his farm enjoying reasonably
good health, and taking great pleasure
in attending to his stock. He was 3
much respected old gentleman and his
sudden death was great shock to the
.entire community. The funeral wal
held at the NJ. Y church Tuesday, Rev
Harvey conducting the services, afteI
which the remains were inferred in thu
Viola cemetery. The family have TIT

THE BOB-O-LINK
to death,

Leaning idly over fence few days
since we noticed little four year.
Lord of the creation amusing himself
in the grass by watching the frolicsome
fight of birds which were playing around
him. At length beautiful Bob o-liuk
perched himself upon dropping bough
of an apple tree, which extended within
a few yards of the place where the
urchin sat, and maintained his position
apparently unconscious of the close
proximity of one whom birds usually
consider dangerous neighbor. The boy
seemed astonished at his impudence,and
after regarding him steadily for min
ute or two, obeying the instinct of his
baser part. he picked up stone lying at
his feet, and was preparing to throw it,
steadying himself carefully for good
aim. The little arm was reached back
ward without alarming the bird, and
) Bob was within an ace of damage; when
10! his throat was swelled, and forth
came natures plea: "A link-a link-a
Ii ink Bob drink Bob-olink "a no.
weet-a no weet know it, know it |!
"a link-a link, a link-don't throw it,
throw it!-throw it!-throw it etc., aud
he didn't. Slowly the little arm subsidized
to its natural position. and the despised
stone dropped. The minstrel charmed
the murderer! We heard the songster
through, and watched his unframed
fight, az did the boy with sorrowful
countenance.
Anxious to hear an expression of the
little fe lows feeling, we approached him
and enquired: why didn't you stone
him, my boy? you might have killed
him and carried him home The poor
little fellow looked up doubtingly, as
though he suspected our meaning, and
with an expression, half shame and half
sorrow, he replied, Couldn't: cos he
sung sop Who will say that our nature
is wholly depraved after that, or aver
that music hath no charms to soothe the
savage breast? Melody awakened hui
manity, and humanity mercy. The an
gels who sang at the creation whispered
to the child's heart. The bird was saved
and God was glorifed by the deed. Dear
little boys. don't stone the birds."-The

OUR BUG.CATCHERS.

We have garden around our house
where we try to raise fruits. and flowers
and peas. and beans, and lettuce, and
cucumbers, and such like. But we have
one trouble; there are lots of little bugs
and worms that seem to like our provi-
sions as we'll as we do, and that are al.
ways on hand to take their portion. And
in fact they sometimes seem to want to
take the whole.
Well, what is to be done in such
case? l will tell you what to do. We
have several little bug catchers, curious
creatures.-in color and shape they look
almost like lump Of earth, and one
would hardly know them from the clods
among which they travel about. The
children see them about the fields or
highways and wherever they find one
they speedily pick him up and invite
him to make his home in our garden;
and SO they have their dwellings in holes
and corners about the yard
The little fellows have queer way of
catching bugs. They have long, sticky
tongue, though where they keep it is
mystery. as it seems to be longer than its
owner. Perhaps they take reef in it,
as the sailors say, and stow it away.
But when one of them gets near little
bug he sits and looks at him. and winks
in kind of solemn way, till all at once
his mouth opens, and quick as fash
the tongue goes out and in again, and
the bug is among the missing! And
then our little friend sits winking and
blinking and waiting for another bug to
come that way.
He is said to have an ear for music
and to do some singing in the warm
spring evenings, but we do not count
much on this; nor do we brag much
about his good looks. His skin is not
smooth. nor his complexion fair; but for
real usefulness he is about the best kind
of live stock we have on our farm; and
if people want to keep their gardens
free from bugs the best thing they can
do is to get on friendly terms with the
little toads.- Our Dumb animals.

SWINE.

Barley sends out strong, juicy blade,
which makes it prime favorite for early
pasture for the sows and pigs. 1t is not
profitable to overstock any pasture with
hogs any more than with other stock,
for they should not approach the winter
in stunted condition. Above all it will
not pay to feed them as stock hogs all
the winter through.
The younger pig is the less meal it
will take to put on pound of pork. 1t
is we'll to supplement the pasture with
an abundant ration of chopped grain
that they may be kept growing as fast
as possible. All grain fed them should
be chopped or ground. If possible, in
the pasture give them shade and running
water.
The demand for lean meat is directly
in the interest Of the farmer, as it is
more profitable to sell at moderate
weights than to make the hogs heavy.
The older hog gets the more it costs
to make pound of gain; it costs twice as
much at nine months as at four. There.
fore sell at five or six.
Dry corn is too heating to be fed to fat
tening hogs in the summer time, and
the digestive organs are not so active as
in cold weather. Either give food OF a
softer nature or soak the corn. Brood
sows will do better on bran or oats; but
all the herd should have some addition
to the usual short pasture at this time
Of the year.
A sure way to weaken the constitu-
ton of stock is to breed for term of
years from that which is immature. The
natural tendency among farmers is to
do this very thing. selling the brood
sows because they are inclined to grow
fat; but the second and third years they
will bring larger and stronger filters.
II the sows are we'll fed during the
period of sucking spring litter of pigs.
they may as we'll be bred for fall litters,
particularly if the owner has an aptness
for caring for growing pigs. Thus the
better brood sows may be kept doing
duty to good advantage.
Pigs like green food as well as do the
calves and colts, and the better they are
otherwise fed the better appetite they
show for this green nibbling. Give the
sows and pigs good run of tender past
ure. and you are in fair way to better
things in the line OF pork making.
If it be thought not profitable to keep
over the late fall filters of pigs, they may
be made ready for roasting at Christmas
time, and they will bring good prices in
most of our larger villages. as good as
the shoats would bring in the spring.
Feed the mothers well. that the pigs may
be fat.
When disease puts in an appearance
among the hogs in community. do not
disguise it. but let it be known, that all
hands may take precautions against it's
spread. Ever be on the alert for cholera,

POULTRY.

One reason why hen which steals
away her nest always matches out well
is that she is not too fat. and because
every egg has the same vitality. When
eggs are selected and put under hen
they are usually Of all sorts, and must
vary somewhat in vitality.
For ready cash business you cannot
discount the COW and the hen. One
variety of fowls is sufficient for the farm,
and do your best to keep that breed
pure. In any event, when a first class
cockerel can be bought for So or less it
is an easy matter to grade up the poul-
try.
The proper season for turkey is the
late fall and winter. In spring and sum.
mer the meat is no longer juicy nor of
good flavor; though sometimes served
at that time, they are much inferior to
the winter bird for roast. Have yours
fattened at the right time.
Farm chickens which have the run Of
the fields are the healthiest and the
most profitable because they get such
variety of feed and insects. There is too
much which is artificial about the usual
poultry yard. and only they are success.
full who recognize and remedy this as
much as possible.
1t is question whether more poultry
and eggs are not raised about our cities
and villages than upon the farms. The
farmer has one flock upon his large
farm, while the village lots hold hun
dred. Some breeds are suited to the
one and some to the other condition.
Some are not satisfied nor greatly pro-
ductive in confinement.
Prepare good, clean nests in proper
places for your hens. and you will not
be troubled by the hens stealing away
to lay; let them be low and on level.
In their roosting coop let there be but
100 cubic feet space to 10 hens. letting
everything tend to their health and
comfort.
The old theory that fat hens will not
lay we'll will hardly hold good. Stint
them not in suitable variety. avoiding
too much corn. There are score of
things which enter into the secret of
procuring profit, and it will be your
fault. and not that OF the hens, if proper
returns are not forthcoming.
In keeping hens in large numbers a
cost foi feeding of about 81 head must
be reckoned, beside the expense for
labor. Therefore. il the sale of eggs
only is depended upon. a large average
production must be kept up. In sue
cesstul chicken farming we must try for
both eggs and young bYoilers.
