IF YOU WANT A KISS.

There's Jolly fresh proverb
That is pretty much ike this:
That man ia half in Heaven
when he has woman's kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsske L.:
So, l tell you bashful yer.
Ifyou want kiss, why, take 1t.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this:
Never let q laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss.
There's royal way 70 kissing,
And rhe jolly ones who make it
Have a motto that is winning
II you want kiss, why, take il.
Any fool NAV face cannon,
Anybody wear a crown.
But man must win a woman
If he'd have her for his own
Would you nave the golden apple,
You must find the tree and snake t.
II the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why, take il.
Who would burn upon desert,
With a forest smiling by?
Nhowould give this sunny weather
For black and wintry sky?
Oh. tell you, there is magic,
And you cannot. cannot break ir;
For the sweetest part OF loving
Is 70 want kiss. and take IL.

Confine the brood for a week after
Matching. Should the mother hen then
become restless, she may be let out dur
ing the middle Of the day. AS the tur-
key retires early and dislikes being dis
turbed after settling down for the night,
be sure to coop them before the sun
sets. The young turkeys will eat but lit
tie the first week. Feed separate from
the mother, for she will devour all the
food within reach. Dry bread soaked in
sweet milk is one of the best foods for
the young, as is curd from fresh butter
milk. When 2 months old, feed whole
wheat part of the time and mix corn
meal with their feed. This should not
be fed exclusively. Allow liberty, as con-
fnement will kill young turkeys. When
the mother hen begins tramping wildly
from one side of the coop to the other,
let her out unless the weather is unfa-
vorable. When the size of cartridges and
old enough to follow the mother in long
rambles, the young will need but little
attention, simply q little feed morning
and evening. Do not neglect to bring
them home at night and put under shell
ter until old enough to fly into trees and
care for themselves. This advice is from
American Agriculturist. 1t is also sug-
gested that you teach the turkeys to
come at the sound Of your voice. 1t will
save many a weary tramp in searching
woods and fields.

WEDNESDAY
MIXING oE FERTILIZER.

When and How 1t May BE Practiced by
Farmers at Home.
A study Of the fertilizer market shows
that a saving Of 10 to % per cent may
be made in the purchase Of fertilizing
materials by buying at wholesale and
taking advantage Of low markets. IntAa
home mixing Of fertilizers there is "a
great chance for saving. A common ar
gument against home mixing is that
the mechanical condition Of the fertili-
zers will not be equal to that of CONNER
cial brands. This need not be so, for by
the use Of a scree home mixtures may
be made fine enough to use in any plant
or. Some care, however, should be taken
that there be a sufficient proportion of
well dried materials like blood, tankage
or fine ground bone, to make the mix
ture dry enough SO that 1t will not hold
together when pressed within the hand.
Where much nitrate Of soda is used, the
mixing should be done but q few days
before wanted for use, as the nitrate has
a tendency to absorb moisture.
The advantages of home mixing are /:
1. considerable saving from the prices
Of commercial brands may be made by
buying the chemicals. q. The mixture
can be suited to tho crop to be grown.
8. The peculiarities of particular soils
may be considered in preparing the mix
lures. 4. A saving in freight by using
concentrated materials.
The farmer should study the needs
of his crop and the deficiencies of his soil
to the same extent that he studies the
needs Of his farm animals. Fertilizers
should be used to supplement the stable
manures. Except in special cases, their
use in this way is more economical than
if used alone. The fact that good stable
manure supplies considerable nitrogen
should point out the need Of economic
ing on this particular element where
both stable and fertilizers are to
be used
In preparing home mixtures, it is i'm
portant to consider first that nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in available
forms are the only ingredients that we
need to consider in the preparation Of
fertilizers. Lime is often needed. but all
mixtures containing phosphates will also
supply some lime, while II heavy linn
ing Is thought advisable air Stacked lime
is probably the best material to use. says
the author Of the foregoing in a commu-
nication to Rural New Yorker. He cau-
lions against the tendency to use ferti-
lizers too sparingly and advises the en-
ployment Of from 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre.

It is not generally understood mat
foreign bodies may sometimes be
found in the eye, and that it is pos
sible for the patient himself to dis
cover their existence if they are in
the front portion of the eye. Small
Opaque particles I often found in
the vitreous fluid and are detected
by raising the eyes to the ceiling,
then suddenly bringing them down
to the level of the head, keeping the
gaze fixed upon some point. The face
should be turned toward a window,
and if the light is exceedingly bright
should be in shadow. A little prac-
tice will enable tho patient to see a
number of small dark spots, that
appear to be settling down as bits of
SCOT, float gently downward through
like a wool fiber with white opaque
beads strung upon it at intervals. In
another r several loops of similar
fiber, some CT which seem to be GOV.
cred with a thin film. How these Oh
iects got into the eyes is one Of the
mysteries of nature. There are many
curious things to be learned about
the eyes if one takes the trouble to
study the way to observe them. II
is necessary to fix tho gaze upon
some inconspicuous object and then
Try to see nothing beyond the eye it
self. Several efforts may be neces-
sary before one acquires the ability
to examine his own eyes for beams
and notes, but once learned there is
usually an expression of surprise be,

time of trying.-New York Ledger

QUoTING what the HERALD said
concerning the closing of company
institutions, and the death of the CO.
ercive system at Neihart the Marys-
vile Messenger says:
The above is certainly good news to
the people of the state. The company
boarding house and company store is Il
dangerous thing in any town. 1t de-
stroys all independence of thought and
action. 1t places the laboring classes as
we'll as the business men at the mercy OF
Il dictator. The people of Neihart made
a long and stubborn fight, in which they
had the moral support of the press OF
their city and state also, with, we be-
lieve, one or two exceptions. They
,baye won a glorious victory. We hope
ind believe that they have wiped out
the company boarding house and store.

The town pays $4,000 a year for
the water required in fire protection.
This is ten per cent interest ur"li
$4,000 a sum much grcater than
the whole works can reasonably los
valued at. If the town should pur-
chase the entire system, the revenue
from private patrons would 60 to re-
pleuish the town treasury, and rates
could be fixed so low that a much
larger number of citizens could pat
ronize the system.
We do not know what each per-
son pays for the use Of the com
pany's water; but if others pay at a
rate proportionate to that paid by
the HERALD, the income from priv
ate citizens is at least $1,000 "a year.
This would all go to the city, under
the new arrangement.
The city tax levy is ten mills on

water company, leaving but tive
