her mistress by many feline feliciries.
One day young man came for short
visit. He was an inveterate tease. AS
there was no one else for q victim, he took
Blossom In hand, in spite of pleadings
and protestations. Her ears were greeted
with the strange terms: "Old rascal"
''Scapegrace," Tramp" and kindred
names, till the astounded cat did not
know what had come to her. Her pretty
ways disappeared, she fled from his ap-
proach, and hid whenever she could till
he was out of the house. One morning
she was missing for some hours, and was
not to be found in any of her hiding
places. A loud cry from the chamber
maid revealed her whereabouts. Blossom
had revenged herself on the visitor 8

the floor. Pussy was scoldeds and
everyone was cautioned to keep the
door shut. In vain. The cat would
find her way in and hide till the cham
bermaid was through for the day, and
then the claws went to work. first on the
visitors own clothes if any could be
found, and then on the pillow-cases. The
young man tried to soothe her feelings
but she would have none of him. and he
was glad to cut short his visit. Blossom
quickly recovered her usual demeanor,
and has never been known to destroy
anything from that day to this.-Boston

GRAND TRUNK OFFICIAL.

Insomnia No Longer a Terror of the
Hard Worker While Paine's Celery
Compound Exists - N. j. Grace
Speaks in Praise of 1t.
One of the dearest complexioned, best
looking men in Boston to-day, says the
Boston "Globe," is a prominent New
England agent of great railroad, who
uses Paine's celery compound spring and
fall, and whose wife and children take it
daily during the spring months.
y. j. Grace of the Grand Trunk is q
modest man, one OF the best-liked gentle-
men in Boston, and thorough railroad
man.
When asked about the merits of Paine's 8
celery compound he said he believed in
1t thoroughly. had used it himself and in
his family for two years with the most
gratifying results.
MY boys are using it now." he said,
land believe there is no better spring
medicine than Paine's celery compound.
A touch of rheumatism first urged me to
try 1t, and times after that, when run
down, as most every one is at intervals
through the year, l found that it revived
the vital spark and made me feel better.
Never in all my experience among men

of. Friends of mine have used it with
splendid results for dyspepsia and liver
complaint, while for insomnia, neigh
Dor of mine tells me that 1t will Danish it
in night.''
Mr.. Grace is one of the healthiest look
ing men to be met with in Boston to-day.
For fully thirty years he has been with
the Grand Trunk. yet in all his life he
never looked better or enjoyed more
freedom from pain than he does to-day.
He is one of the thousands in this city
who have reason to believe in Paine's
celery compound.

A poet sought name
He brought the love-notes of bird,
The purling OF a stream snow-born
To serve his song-all sounds morn
or spring brings forth there might be heard;
Then he awaited fame
None listened to his Law.
Abashed, he looked for larger themes
He sang of mortals' joys and fears
OF grief and glory, love and tears,
OF death and hopes far-pierclng beams;
No garlands tell his way.
He found q lone retreat,
And there he sang unto his heart,
And bade his heart be brave, be brave;
There learned TO live, and ceased TO crave
The things withheld, but did his part
Lo, men were at his feet

I Keep q Record Of Your Work.

W Ae&O u 6ecOE0 Oh xOUP WOfk.
Every farmer is to a great extent q
manufacturer, and ought to keep .
record of his operations. This is the
key to success in any business. But
the soh-tiller should attend to some
other matters in connection with his
accounts. A writer in an exchange
suggests that a map Of the farm, with
each field numbered, and Its size,
quality of soil. ETC., specified, will be
q great aid in keeping track Of the
years transaction. How many farm
ers have such q guide and convent
ence? And how many kept such a
memoranda the past year as will ena-
BILE them to tell the expense of each
crop sown? And how about the do
nestle animals? If you keep cows
what have they paid you per head in
the aggregate? And what Of sheep,
swine and v chickens? How much
did each contribute to your income,
and which was the most profitable?
Those who can answer these peril
lent questions must be well advised
In regard to their financial position,
and need no admonition; but we fear
many are utterly unable to give any
detailed account of their farming op-
e%rations, or whether the balance Is on
the right or wrong side Of the ledger.
1t Is needless to say that such man.
: agement would soon wreck any com
mercial enterprise, and hence the FIRE.
quent complaint that farming don't
pay is not surprising. We would
suggest that you keep IN accurate &C.
count Of your aoings, and you win MOI

as much to raise and keep a poor ami.
NAL as 1t does a good one. When
farmers are convinced Of this fact 1t is
not long until his place is stocked with
pure-bred animals of some kind.
In the early fall is the best time to
apply manure to fruit trees that it
may get the benefit Of the fall rains.
which wash its soluble parts into the
soil. This starts an early growth in
the spring. 1t Is not best that the
most luxuriant growth should be made
while the fruit Is maturing.
1t is better farming to grow pigs ON
grass than on grain. Roots and clover
hay in the winter will greatly reduce
the cost of keeping them, and they
must be kept growing during that sea-
son II w would have them in condi.
ton to quickly fatten for the spring
market; not fat but growing.
There Is hardly a cheaper way of
growing pork than to allow the pigs
the run of a good clover field, giving a
good daily slop feed in addition. A
good breed farrOwed in April, under
good treatment, will maintain q growth
which will fit them for market in good
season in the fall or early winter.
England's wheat area was dimin-
ished by $1,000 acres, or 20 per cent,
last year, while at the same time the
number CT pigs vas increased 500, OO0,
or q per cent. 1t Is evident that the
country cannot probably produce it's
own breadstuffs, but no reason has yet
been found for the turn toward pork.

Fairly Maturity Of Hogs.

AAS - 1~O
There is not so much call now for
hogs that will keep on growing three
or four years before they reach maturi-
ty. The large hog has always coarser
meat than the young pig, and the diff
ference, we suspect, is because there Is
always some check TO growth in cold
weather. Spring pigs, fattened in fall,
will always make better pork than
they will IL kept later. In these times,
too. the hog that weighs 200 to $50
pounds sells for a higher price per
hundred weight than m that Is heav.
ier. Hence. the early-maturing breeds,
that reach their full weight when n
or two years old. are now the favor
ties with farmers. But there is some
thing to be said in favor Of the heavy
weights. II not allowed to get too fat,
the late-maturing hogs are better
breeders. especially for dams. A cross
of an early-maturing boar with a large,
long-bodied SOW brings pigs that, for
fattening, are better than either bred
alone. They will be larger at birth,
and at ,tepeto eleven months will weigh
thirty u fifty pounds mor than the
full-bloods Of either early OF late-ma-
turing varieties. One aso why late
maturing sows are better breeders is
because they keep on growing until
three or four years old, and therefore.
their food does not go to Fat as much
as that Of the early-maturing breeds,
| which never attain large siZe.--Ameri.

Tar For Poultry.

Poultry raisers eem to have failed
to learn the value of tar. 1t is valua-
BILE in many ways, says G. w. Norris
in the Epitolaist. l am led to believe
that to tar the fence around the poul-
try house, instead of withdrawing,
will be much better. 1t will contribute
largely to the durability Of the wood,
protecting it from storm and time. 1t
is in the poultry house that the value
Of tar is the greatest, for 1t coduces
greatly towards healthfulness.
When cholera makes its appearance,
we would advise. first, a thorough
cleaning of the house. Next, an appii-
cation of tar on all the joints, cracks
and crevices of the inside of the build
ing, and then plenty Of whitewash,
properly applied. The tar absorbs or
drives away the faint of disease and
makes the premises wholesome. The
smell is not offenslve-in fact, many
people like it and it is directly oppo-
site to unhealthy. TO vermin, lice, etc.,
the smell of tar Is very repulsive, and
but few will remain after you have
tarred the house. \ neighbor Of ours
was onc troubled with chicken chole-
ra, and by adopting the above, in con-
nectfon with removing affected fowls,
he soon put q stop to its ravages. A
small lump of tar in the drinking wa
ter supplied to the fowls will be found
