stations try their hand with the buckle

mon.
Tests have proved mistake in leaving
our apples on the trees until the early
frosts, or until they are quite ripe. Those
keep longest which are gathered SOON
est after maturity. If packed, either
for shipping or home keeping, nothing
is better than dry maple leaves. The
only way to dry them perfectly is on a
floor. Careless handling of fruit makes
our efforts of no avail.
1t is easy to grow grape vines, but we
are not SO sure of gathering the fruit.
Cover the vines in winter. to avoid the
cold. Ward off the rot and mildew by
spraying with solution of sulphate of
copper and lime. By planting upon
high, sandy or gravelly soil, with south
ern exposure. we may avoid the frosts of
autumn and spring. The rosebug may
be lodged by allowing them to bloom
upon the ground, or by spraying with
paris green.
Those who do not spray their orchards
and take the pains to procure sound
fruit will be driven out of the market.
while those who get the better price will
be justified for their pains and expense.
The Goblin moth has made it very hard
to get perfect fruit for many years past,
or an abundant crop. Verify, there is
no excellence without great labor, no
matter what may be our line in obtain
ing livelihood.

the highway, as though expecting some
one. He would mutter on coming into
the house: HE will be here soon, and
must be ready" The evening before
the day he died he went out as usual,
waited few minutes, came back into
the house hurriedly, and told the house.
keeper that he had just received word
of death and that grave must be pre-
pared. He then went to the Toulouse,
shouldered his pick and spade, lighted a
lantern, and repaired to the lonely Gem
etery. In couple Of hours he came
back, apparently as we'll as usual, ate
his evening meal. and retired to bed
He never awoke from the peaceful and
restful slumber that descended upon
him that night.

HORSES.

The gelding is as unproductive as
bicycle, and but eats his work up, while
the mare will, il good one, raise fine
colt every year, and do just as much
work and be all the better as brood
mare. In the one there is profit; the
other is absolutely profitless.
The American draft horse of large
size and moulded form is winning his
way to the hearts of the American PEG.
pie. and is admired in the streets as the
great utility horse of the age. At the
horse shows he is the center of enthusi-
astic attraction. The two. four and six
horse teams win repeated applause.
That care must be taken in feeding
wheat is the experience OF all who have
tried it. but it may be as iudiciously fed
to horses as to other stock, il ground
and mixed with oats. corn, bran and
other common feeds. This mixture is
better than when these other feeds are
given only, and it is certainly better
than rye for horses.
During the past Is years in Australia
the number of horses has increased from
16S to 100000, and their present rate
of increase is $4,000 an annum; 80 per
cent. of them are for the saddle and
light harness. None of them are under
roof from birth to breaking. nor do they
get more to eat than the grass they pick
up.
Lacking the help which the horse
gives. life could hardly be maintained
under the present conditions. SO much
do we rely upon the strength, speed and
docility of this animal. Neither would
civilization have developed to its present
form without him. We can almost dis
tinguish between the races of men by
the use they make Of the horse.
Barring accidents. a sound horse
should be as good at 20 as at any other
age. yet for some reason our old horses
can not stand much fatigue. They
would last much longer il they had bet
ter care. and the operating expenses Of
the farm be materially reduced. Ex-
posture has as much to do with it as over
work.
Can not we take hint from the state
ment of an English writer that the most
important interest left to the English
farmers which has not been seriously
threatened by foreign competition is
heavy draft horse breedingY Certainly
we should see that they have the com
petition. We could export thousands
of the heavy draft geldings il we would
only raise them. He says that $500 is
not an uncommon price for one well
seasoned.

HORTICULTURE.

The English walnut can be grown in
the latitude of the Virginias, and there
is no reason why we should continue
importing that nut in such quantities
much longer. There is tree in Penn
sylvania which produces 40 bushels an
nually of marketable nuts. Their
growth is slow, but the outcome sure.
When bearing, an acre of them would
be of great value.
Lime seems to be an effectual remedy
for mildew upon cucumbers, melons,
potatoes, etc. Be sure to sprinkle the
fine powder on under side of the leaves
as we'll as upon the upper. There must
be actual contact between the caustic
particles Of lime and the fungus.
The fall is the better time for pruning
fruit trees. for the reason that the sap
is then retreating from the branches
Beside, the farmer usually has more
spare time then than in the spring. AS
for the grape vines, there is no better
time for trimming them than in Novem-
Der. To all these little things we should
be alert.
Sudden and severe pruning at any
time, looping off large limbs or taking
away of an undue quantity of wood in a
single season, is apt to ruin the ensuing
fruit crop, because it forces so much sap
into buds which remains that they grow
coarse and sappy; even if blossoms ap-
pear the fruit will not set.
There are about 10000 acres given to
the wine industry in our country. pro-
ducing something like 400 gallons an
acre. Here this is an infant industry
and the exact soil or the exact skill has
not yet been found to yield wine equal
to some of the noted French brands, but
all that will come in time. We will be
one of the greatest wine producing ma
tons.
Some OF our best fruits have c)me

We all know how Gree, wise god

the ears of his common sailors in
order that they might not hear the

Let us turn, then, with all earnest
ness, to the study of that later Greek
legend which.gives to us an account
of Orpheus playing on his harp and
passing by the sirens and hearing
not the sound of their voices, the
music of his sweet stringed instru-
ment having drowned their song of
entreaty. This beauty loving race
have handedgdown to US in STORED
form full many treasure of wisdom
and rich experience, but none more
significant than this. In national
convention held last October in the
city of Cleveland, Frances E. Willard
recommended that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union should
petition our government to appoint a
commissioner of amusements. and
that local committees should be
formed toinvestigate the amusements
and recreations of the masses, with
power to suppress that which was
low and debasing.
Why did such recommendation
seem necessary Was it not because
the mothers of our land have not YET
learned that the harp of Orpheus is
far more powerful than the cords

Shrill and clear from coppice near.
A song within the woodland ringing,
A treble note from silver throat.
The siren of the fields is singing
Bob-whitei
And from the height the answer sweet
Floats family DER abe ripping wheat
Bob-bob-whitel
The alder flowers in snowy showers
Upon the velvet turf are falling,
And where they lie the soft winds sigh,
The while the futed voice is calling
Bob-white!
Across the waves OF yellow grain
The waited echo swells again
Bob-b0b-whitel
The purple mist by sunbeams kissed
Drifts upward to the mornings splendor;
And through the haze of shaded ways
The vibrant lutte pipes low and tender
Bob-whitei
While fainter, sweeter, softer grown
The answer on the breeze is blown
Bob-bob-white!
The shadows sleep in hollows deep;
The dewy pawpaw leaves are thrilling:
The silence broods DER solitudes,
Unbroken, save one pure note trilling-
BOb-white
SO pure, so clear, so sweetly rare,
The answer steals upon the air
Bob-bob-whitel
o song of youth! of love and TRUTH
Of mellow days forever dying!
Still through the years my sad heart hears
Your tender cadence signing, signing
Bob-white!
And far across life's troubled ways
The echo comes from boyhood days

Let me say in passing, that Mr..
William Tomlins has stated several
times in public addresses, that less
than five per cent. of the voices of the
hundreds of children who enter his
chorus classes are such that they can
not be trained to sing. Therefore
let no mother say that her child has
''no ear for music, $50 cannot be given
this sweet consolation in times of sor-
row, and glad recreation in times of
joy.
But many mother will say II can
not sing. How then, can give love
of music to my baby7" Let me tell
you one of the rich lessons that have
come to me from the mothers who are
limited seemingly in everything but
mother love.
One cloudy day l was visiting a
kindergarten in very destitute part
of Chicago. Just as the play-circle
began, stability dressed woman
with shawl over her head opened
the door and walked in, and sat down
on chair near the door. In a mo-
ment more l saw that she had ten
months old baby in her arms. The
kindergarten director took no notice
of her otherwise than to nod pleas
antly to her, and the music and games
proceeded as if nothing had hap
pened. / was somewhat surprised at
this, as the coming of baby into
one of our kindergartens is usually
hailed with joyful demonstrations.
In few minutes | went over to where
she sat and asked to hold the baby.
The mother yielded him to me with
out smile. His eyes were turned
away from the play circle. 1 moved
my chair SO that he might face the
children. "Ye needn't be turning
him round, num-" said the mother
quietly, she's blind" "Blindw I
exclaimed, "He is SO youngl How
long has he been blind?" "He was
born so, num-" answered she, "that's
why l stop my work each day and
bring him over to hear the music, so
that he may learn to love it. 1t will
be such pleasure to him by and by"
This was said without tremor in her
voice. She had accepted the situa-
ton and was making the best of it.
1 afterward learned from the direc-
tor that she was the wife of a day
laborer, and the mother of four
children, two of whom were in the
kindergarten, and that for months
she had rarely ever failed to bring
the blind baby over to the kindergar-
ten in time to hear the singing of
the play-circle. Although she lived
in two or three small rooms and of
course did all her own sewing, cook
ing, washing and ironing, she was
cleanly dressed, as were ner other
children, who were pointed out to me,
and yet, she found time, made time,
rather, to give her baby the advant-
age of an early training in music.
AS l walked home that noon the
dull sky seemed flooded with sum
shine and all the earth seemed
bright as l realized how full OF I'M
selfish love God could fill mothers
heart, and yeti wondered how
many of the mothers of education
and of leisure were making that
much effort to enrich their children's
lives with the right kind of enjoy
ment.-The interior.

MY WINDOW IVY.
BY MARY MAPEs Dol GE.

BY MARY MAPES Dol GE.
Over my window the ivy climbs.
Its roots are in homely jars.
But all day long it looks at the sun,
And at night looks out at the stars.
The dust of the room may dim its green.
But call to the breezy air:
Come in come in. good friend of mine!
And make my garden fair"
So the ivy thrives from morn to morn,
Its leaves all turned to the light;
And it gladdens my soul with its tender green
And teaches me day and night.
What though my lot is in lonely place,
And my spirit behind the bars?
All the long day may look at the sun,
And at night look out at the stars.
What though the dust of earth would dim?
There's glorious outer air
That will sweep through my soul if 1 let it in,
And make it fresh and fair.
Dear Godl let me grow from day to day,
Clinging and sunny and bright!
Though planted In shade, thy window is near,
And my leaves may turn to the light.
