LOVE IN TOWN.

No meetings in the lonely lane:
Beside the sea they never stood.
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the Office stair:
And yet. I know. JOY more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
Ard why shouil rustic love elone
Be decked with all poetic artT
These dull. gray city walks have known
The beating OF a nations heart
The weary workers come and go.
The secret Of each soul Is dumb;
Yet, still, at times. a radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may come.
Ard these. my happy lovers. knew
Hard toll, small wage. and humble fare;

But love made gladness everywhere.

Was sweet to her as robins song;
Her face. that passed the open door.
For him made sunshine all day long.

Or IL plowed under in August after the
second cutting with a growth Of foot
or more, it will kill it. With this
treatment both the upper and lower
roots decay rapidly and are assimilated
by the soil. If broken early in the
spring before the plant gets a start
and the roots are picked out of the soil
and put under shelter, they will last
in this climate for years and make
kindlings equal to corn cobs.
One of the best irrigation farmers Of

at right angles from the river. Its
general course is little upstream,
and it reaches the land in such way
as to be available to the best of 1t.
This ditch has a total of eight miles, Is
sixteen feet wide at the top, ten feet
wide at the bottom, and carries water
two feet deep. Its fall is thirty inches

irrigated This consisted last year of
sixty acres of corn, 14O acres or wheat,
300 acres of alfalfa, eighty acres Of

Here is a remedy for warts, or sore
head, as 1t is commonly called. 1t is
a species of roup. I have had fowls
combs and wattles filled with these lit

discovered. I first bathe the head in
warm water and vinegar or boraccic
acid. Soak the sore spots we'll, then
wipe dry with a clean cloth. Now take
a piece Of copperas. dip it in water and
rub It on the sore spots; 1t will kill the

for 1t will do no hurt. II the fowl is
feverish, give aconite in the drinking
water. EPSON salts, one tablespoonful

Is selected, they are a sure cure. Fowls
are very susceptible to homeopathic

English Butter Market.

The competition in furnishing fresh
butter for the English market grows
daily keener. Once the Danes mad II
all their own way, and Danish butter
was in demand at the highest prices
Seeing what the dairy schools had &C.
complished for that little kingdom
other nations followed suit and began
a vigorous rivalry for the London
market.
Sweden has been 30 successful In
her efforts that by many her product IL
reckoned even superior to the Danish
article. French butter at one time
ranked very high, but carelessness and
the admixture of oleomargarine caused
it to fall in disrepute. It has only just
regained It's lost footing by exercising
extreme care in the preparation Of the
article and by the rigid exclusion Of all
adulterating substances. By herculean
efforts Australia has succeeded in plac.
ing on the market a butter Of excellent
quality, and there Is no room to doubt
the rapid betterment of the Canadian
and American article. The butter stand
ard throughout the world has steadily
risen. In nothing are the Dement'S OF
competition more clearly shown than In
this one product. The average butter
has improved more within the past de-
cade than during the whole of the pre-
ceding century.-World.

WESTERN FARM NOTES.
(From Field and Farm.)


Get out the spraying pump and see
that 1t Is In working order. 1t will
soon be needed and like the Texas man
and his gun 1t will be needed badly
when the time comes.
F. H. Moreland, now of Gilmore,
Utah, claims sheep-shearing record of
1856 sheep in eleven hours, and he chal-
lenges any man in the world to buck
him In contest.
A number of new fruit tracts are to
be started this spring in the vicinity of
Canon City, Fremont county, mostly by
new corners, many of them from the
mining districts.
The sheepmen of Wyoming say there
is now more scab in their fiocks than
ever known before. There is much the
same condition prevailing in Colorado
and 1t Is going to require great watch
fulness to put 1t down.
Now 1t is time to apply manure to
biackberries, currents, raspberries and
other small fruits. 1t should be scat
tered broadcast at the roots of these
plants. which should cover consider
able territory.
Some varieties of Strawberries, not
ably Captain Jack, are very subject to
the leaf blight, and while the blight
can be controlled by the Bordeaux
mixture, it is better to plant varieties
not SO subject to it.
The Hygiene Dairy company has

ward where moisture is found. Where
irrigation Is practiced, unless the
ground be soaked to a geat depth, the
tendency Is for the roots to remain
nearer the surface and in consequence
the frequent application of water be-
comes necessary. If, on the other hand
the roots Of the trees are encouraged
to grow downward as much as possible,
1t is found that the necessity for irriga-
tion grows less and less each year,
and sometimes ceases altogether.
Wherever the hickory or black wal
nut will grow it is safe to put out the

did place to set these pecans. and
thereby make the most worthless part
of farm the very best paying part of
1t in a few years. Plant short-lived
trees, or ordinary field or vegetable
crops in the pecan grove until the trees
commence bearing-then they will pay
several times better than any crops
that could be planted between them.
If there is any place in Colorado where
the pecan will grow 1t Is over In the
warm valleys Of the western slope.
The summer supply of irrigating wa
ter In Colorado Is going to be adequate
for all practical purposes, but what of
the water that is now running to waste
in most of the streams? While 1t is a
fact that the legal irrigation season
has been open since the 18th inst, the
great rivers are wasting their precious
waters just because no provisions have
been made to store them. We will new.
er fully control the irrigation question
until we prepare to save the great
oceans Of water that now go coursing
away to the sea for nine months In the
years. Some day the plains east of Deu-
yer for a hundred miles out will be
covered with reservoirs which will be
filled annually by the Platte and other
streams.
Early peas stand at the head of the
list for profit. They should be sown
as early In the spring as the season will
permit and should be hurried along in
their early growth by liberal doses of
ditch water. They need a good deal
of water also during the podding sea-
son. To those who have never grown
them, the new race of large podded
peas Will prove a revelation. Imagine
pods five to six inches in length, filled
with large peas of delicious quality.
They are abundant bearers, and are
particularly profitable for market gar
deners to grow, inasmuch as two bush
els of these peas can be picked to one
of the smaller pods, while they inyar-
iably sell at an advance on account of
their fine appearance. We have had
good success with the Telephone and
have produced as many as eighteen
pods to the stalk.
The alfalfa plant has great tenacity

thirty years ago. we were warned
that If we once got it into a field we
could never get 1t out. and many were

Many people who use the hand sepa-

a great deal of froth in the cream, and
it is not uncommon to notice that they
are unaware of a method Of avoiding
this, says Dairy Qondon, EngianO. A
visitor to a recent dairy exhibition, who
had met with such difficulty, saw a
plan which prevented 1t, and, although
it is not new, he does well to speak Of
it. He says that, while watching the
operations, he noticed that the cream

through a small hair sieve on its way

A Word for Apples.

DIR. 6. R. Searles, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, thus discourses on the apple as
medicine: "The apple is such COM
mon fruit that very few persons are
familiar with its remarkably efficaci-
Gus medical properties. Everybody
ought to know that the very best thing
they can do is to eat apples just before
retiring for. the night. Persons unini-
tiated in the MYSTERIES of the fruit are
liable to throw up their hands in hor-
ror at the visions of dyspepsia which
such suggestion may summon up,
but no harm can come to even a deli
cate system by the eating of ripe and
Juicy apples just before going to bed.
The apple is an excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid in
easily digestible shape than any other
vegetable known. Itexcites the action
of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth. This is not all. The
apple agglutinates the surplus acids OF
the stomach, lhelps the kidney secre-
tionsand prevents calculus growths, it
obviates indigestion and is one of the
best preventives known Of diseases of
the throat. Everybody should be fa-
miliar with such knowledge, and I
hope you will help disseminate it. In
addition, next to the orange and the
lemon, it is the best aIditote for the
thirst and craving of the person ad-
dicted to the alcohol or the opium
habit"

A practical dairyman suggests that
two or three doses of salpetre, one

Sometimes eggs are laid ct night
while the hens are on the roost. The
cause isa weakened slate of the egg

feeding and lack Of exercise. Hens
which are unable to hold their eggs
are usually too fat.
A writer says that many fail to un-
derstand while yet it is the fact, that
when cows are on good pasturage is
when they need salt the most. The
better plan Is to keep the supply in q
convenient place where they can help
themselves. One advantage with rock
salt Is that 1t does not waste to any
great extent if left exposed.

the careless handling of servants.
Now, in come of the best regulated
homes of New Orleans, there ia q
pretty custom handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation, and that is the
habit of washing the china by the
mistress' own hands. AS soon as the
meal is overa little cedar tub is brought
into the dining-room, and the lady o
the house dips the dainty cups snd
saucers into the hot water with hel
own delicate fingers, carefully drying
them with clean towel. 1t is d good
rule for any owner Of fine china to
follow, and will he appreciated by
those who have had their beautiful
Dresden ruined by cooks and waiting

diptheria cure. One of our citizens
preserved the receipt and when Occa-
sion required used it aud found that 1t
worked to perfection. The remedy is
simple, easily procured and easily used
and he thinks it should be more gener-
ally known. 1t is simply the vapors
arising from burning equal parts OF
tar and turpentine in the room in
which the patient is. The original
item cited desperate case in which II
had been successfully used and we re-
publish all account of it
Ruth Lockwood, a nine-year-old
child became violently i'll with dlph-
liberia. She was so weak that it was
deemed dangerous to try tracheotomy,
or cutting open the wlnpipe. A day
or two before the doctor was called he
received a copy of the Paris Figaro,
which contained report made to the
French Academy of Medicine by DR..
Delthil. DR.. DeIthil said that the va
pors of liquid tar and turpentine would
dissolve the librinOus eXudatlons
which choke up the throat in Group
and diptheria. DR.. DelthilPs process
was described. He pours equal parts
of turpentine and a liquid tar into a
tin pan or cup and sets fire to the
mixture. A dense, resinous smoke
arises, which obscures the air of the
room. 1.-THE patient" Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience re-
lief the choking and rattle stops !;
the patient falls into a slumber and
seems to inhale the smoke with pleas
ure. The fibrinous membrane soon be-
comes, detached, and the patient
coughs up miscrobides. These when
caught in glass, may be seen to dis
solve in the smoke. In the course OF
three days afterwards the patient en-
tirely recovers."
1.-The doctor tried this experiment
successfully with little Ruth Lock
wood. She was lying gasping for
breath when he visited her. First
pouring about two tablespoonfuls Of
liquid tar on an iron pan he poured as
much turpentine over it and set it on
fire. The rich resinous smoke which
rose to the ceiling was by no meaus
unpleasant. AS it filled the room the
child's breathing became natural and
as the smoke grew dense she fell
asleep" ."-Newberne Journal.
