YOU NEVER CAN TELL.
BY KLLA WHEELER WILCOX.

You never can tell when you send word
Like an arrow shot from bow
BY an archer blind-be it cruel or kind,
Just where it will chance to go.
1t may pierce the breast of your dearest friend
TippedIwith its poison or balm;
To a.stranger's heart in life's great mart
1t may carry its pain or its calm.
You never can tell when you do an act
just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing seed,
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In God'sIproductive soil:
Though you may not know; yet the tree shall
grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts will do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swffter than carrier dove.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind;
And they speed DER the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.

POULTRY.

Do not leave any food about the coops
to sour or ferment, for it may cause dis
eases of the bowels. Occasionally put
into their mash little ginger and snip
of salt. During the very hot weather
little alum in the water which they drink
may be preventive of trouble.
Many breeds begin to lay when four
and half or five months old. Parched
corn will hurry them. especially pop
corn, as will fresh meat from the slaugh-
ter house, and cut bone. They need
animal diet of some kind. and the whole
process of feeding is an interesting
study.
There can be no error in mixing cut
vegetables and other soft food for the
fowls, for their natures crave it. There
are eggs in potatoes. and the squash
adds nice flavor to poultry meat. One
of the best articles of diet FOR them is
young clover cut fine, and they are very
fond of it. Malt sprouts and cabbage are
excellent.
A large part of the egg is nitrogen.
phosphoric acid and lime; these are
most readily obtained by feeding meat
and bones which are. largely made up of
these elements. For the grain ration at
night wheat is preferable. for it is not
80 fat producing. 1t is we'll to have
pan of fine gravel, charcoal and wheat
bran where they can get at it at will.
The morning mash for the chickens
should be of cooked vegetables and
boiling water, thickened with ground
grain, middlings. bran and animal meal.
If they have not the ambition to scratch
for the grain which is scattered among
the straw during the day. let them go
little hungry in the morning. See that
they have teeth" in the shape of broken
crockery or shells, or other form of grit.
The Douglass mixture is a pound of
copperas and half ounce Of sulphuric
acid in gallon of water. 1t is seldom
used now as a remedy for cholera or
kindred diseases, but is a most effica-
cious remedy applied externally when
vermin infest the coop; but for internal
or external treatment carbolic acid fills
the bill. In truth nearly all our chick
en- diseases come from the presence OF
lice.
Get out the chickens early-ip March,
if possible; sell the cockerels and the
culls from the pullets in the early sum-
mer for bIoilers; sell the old hens every
year as soon as they are through laying.
generally in August; and by all means
study to get the pullets to laying by Oc-
tober. Early chicks will do this If fed
on animal diet.

Ii we have good machine, we want
1t to last; ii it wears out with year or
two of use it may be too expensive. The
little Jersey COW is such a machine, and
not only begins work early, but never
tires nor fails until she is old. We could
not afford to replace her every year.
Feed largely determines the amount
and quality Of milk and butter. The
profit is only derived from the excess
over that necessary to sustain animal
life. 1t is evident that COW kept for
milk can not return her best profit if
kept on half rations.
The good mixer must have natural
disposition to convert her food into milk
and then her ration must be milk pro-
ducing one-not one for growth nor to
fatten, but one which will make her pro-
duce rich milk. Corn is not the best;
corn meal, with roughness and wheat
bran, is good feed for winter, but it is
not wise to compel them to eat one ra-
ton all the time.
There is nothing but color to protect
the consumer from cleo as fraudulent
butter. The manufacture and sale of
oleo is legitimate when manufactured,
sold and used for just what it is, but to
use arts to deceive the consumer, giving
the whole the appearance of butter, is
stealing the livery Of butter, at least, to
serve devilish purposes.
Cotton seed meal is said to impart a
fine grain to butter,a fact for warm
weather dairying. 1t also belongs to
that class of things, every pound of which
brought to the farm increases its fertil-
ity. Dairying naturally exhausts the
soil less than other branches of agricult-
ure, and we can see that it is possible to
increase fertility of land by judicious
system of dairying.
Bad results will follow overlooking
the Jersey calf the first few weeksH
After, little skim milk may be substi-
tuted for that fresh from he COW, sup
plying the fat removed with the cream
in middlings or oil meal At first a
tablespoonful of the meal added to the
milk for each calf is enough.
1t is feed which makes the milk and
in order to make rich milk in plenty the
COW must eat plenty of rich food. The
Jersey is noted as being feeder of this
kind, a hearty feeder which can eat a
large quantity of the richest, and keep
it up day after day. In fact, this is one
of her good points"
Gentleness in COW is worth money,
and counts up in dollars every year. r.
ritable cows beget irritation in the milk
er, and this always results in loss, either
directly or indirectly. 1t ensures better
care. for the gentle COW is always petted.
This gentle disposition is certainly a
characteristic of the Jersey.
There seems to be an epidemic of leg
islation in several of the States on the
oleomargarine subject, and it looks as if
this imitation of butter had about seen
it's day. The whole matter hinges on the
legal right to use coloring matter in
oleo, and it is thing which does not
circulate we'll "under it's own colors."

AGRICULTURE.


Potatoes raised on poor and inferior
soils are all of second rate quality. and
become waxy after cooking. This lie be-
cause they lack the requisite amount Of
starch. for which increased production
of starch experience shows that nitrogen
GUS manures are necessary. Thus sup
piled, they acquire certain amount OF
mealiness, 30 much desired.
An increase in the yield of potatoes is
markedly influenced by an application
of potash. 1t is found that the ash of
potatoes contains over 80 per cent of
potash, and that an increase in yield
follows very closely the per cent. of
potash, in the fertilizer applied to the
soil.
The new onion culture" can be sue
cessfully applied to the small garden,
for they can be successfully transplant
ted from the hot bed; but the only way
for the planter of acres is to stick to the
old way-a good seed bed of very rich
soil, and seed sown with drill and fol-
lowed by the best of cultivation. With
the ordinary prices, onions are paying
crop.
Average soils contain an abundance of
plant food, but it requires to be put in
such condition that the growing vege-
tation can get at it. Constant cultiva-
ton not only brings fresh sustenance
to the lootlets, but moisture is also in
creased near the surface, so that the
elements become soluble and available.
Drainage renders useless land cultiva-
table; it can be worked earlier in the
spring and sooner after rains; in it the
seed will sprout more certainly and grow
more steadily; lengthens the time for
crops to ripen. and the damage from
early autumn frosts; deepens the soil
and makes subsoiiing less necessary;
prevents much freezing, heaving out
and surface washing; increases crops
and makes farming more pleasant.
Lime will be productive of but little
good result on rundown land which is
deficient in vegetable matter or humus.
Its use is to hasten decomposition Of
organic matter, and make it more readily
available as plant food. First put on
the barnyard manure, or turn under the
green crops; then the lime will perform
it's mission.
The nutriment in corn cobs is about
equal to that in oat straw, and the prin-
cipal advantage to be derived from them
is to give bulk and distend the stomach.
The corn and cob should be ground to-
gether. and that quite fine, if cobs are
used. "Roughness" seems necessary to
the best growth of an animal
Nothing but greater crowding will
stop the waste in this wasteful country
of ours. There are thousands of dollars
in the sewage of our great cities. The
cities of Europe are surrounded by the
most productive market gardens in the
world. The sewage of Milan enriches
$1,000 acres of land until they produce
eight or ten tons of hay an acre.

CONCERNING FADs.
BY HARRIET PRESCOTT sPoFFoRD.

The work of one fad upon the home is
much like that OF another. 1t is always
impoverishing. 1t may be the very
heavenly work Of charity itself. but il it
is taken up and carried on as fad it
will be found that the old proverb is re-
versed. and charity does not begin at
home. but on the contrary. it ends there.

THE GOLDEN RULE.
BY j. G. WHITTIER.

If none were sick and none we're bad
What service could we render?
think If we were always glad,
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold and miss indeed
Its sweetest consolation.
Oh, that the rules of our living
More like to the golden would be:
Much, obi so much more of sunshine
Would go out from you and from me.
For still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living;
Love scarce is love that never knows
The sweetness of forgiving.

enough money to make
a frugal provision for his old age.
'Liiah's wife died the year before he
Quilted the farm that had been their
home for forty years, and when he
lost her it was like losing part of
himself. He was never the same
man again. 1t took the heart out of
his work when there was no wife to
talk it over with; he could not relish
the food prepared by strange hand,
and he lay awake at nights in his
loneliness, staring into the darkness
with fearless eyes, There was moth
ing left to make. life sweet to him,
and his seventy years weighed on
him like hundred. Then he asked
his landlord to let him off the short
remainder of his lease, and he left
the farm to live..in the white cottage
with the big garden, down by the
common.
His neighbors said that Old 'Lijah
would go silly with loneliness all by
himself, for he saw nobody and spoke
to no one but the woman who came
to clean and do his bit of cooking.
He seldom left. the house, and never
went beyond the garden, and he had
not entered the church since the day
of his wife's funeral. The rector of
the parish, who had known Elijah
Walrond many years, called to ask
him why he never saw him in his ac-
customed place on Sunday, but the
old man would only reply, II Gamma
do it, sir; I Gamma do It'll 'Er'd used
to go to church with me, and Gamma
go alone" and lapse into silence
again. There was no one at home
now to care what he did, or whether
he was we'll or i'll, so he ceased to
strive against stiffness and rheuma-
tism, and crept along with the help
of a stick, with bowed shoulders, as
though he carried heavy burden.
Old 'Lijah was in perilous state,
both of body and mind, when one
day the very best thing that could
happen befell him, though it came
about through some one else's sorrow.
'Lijah had an only child-a daugh-
ter-who some years previously had
married ne'er-do-well of the name
of Grove, and lived with him in the
north of England, where, after a
short career of idleness and poverty.
he died, leaving Jane, a widow with
one little child. Jane Grove had not
a farthing in the world to call her
own when she had paid her fare to
travel southwards to her father, and
her sticks of furniture had been sold
to pay for her husbands burial, for
her honest pride revolted at pau
per's funeral. She knew that her
father had left the farm, but in how
ever poor a place he lived now, he
would not shut the door upon his
daughter, though he had been dis
pleased with her for marrying as she
did. But bygones were bygoDes, and
though the mother who would have
welcomed her child was dead, Jane
could cook and work for her father,
and make the meanest place seem
like home; and good as her inten-
tions were toward the old man, she
could not tell-no one could have
told-the kindness che was about to
do him.

SALT LAKE WATER RATES.
Superintendent Daley Says They
Are Lower Here Than Anywhere.

superintendent Daley Says They
Are Lower Here Than Anywhere.
Superintendent of WaterWorks
Daley, says in relation to a communi-
cation which appeared in this paper a
few days ago in regard to the water
rates Of Salt Lake being too high, that
he has a table of the prices from 125
other cities and towns of the country,
and that those of this city are 80 per
cent lower than in any of those he al
ludes to. In this city a bath tub costs
81 per year and a closet the same,
while in other places the rates run
from SO to S. per year. The rates on
lawn Sprin5ling are as cheap here as
anywhere, but in this city there is
great deal more done than anywhere
else.
The clerks in the office of the water
works are engaged in adjusting taxes.
There are great many protests be-
ing made and these are being attended
to as fast as they come in. The super
intendent said yesterday that these
corrections were being made where
there was Just cause for complaint, as
fast as they come in. That is where
assessments are too high. When a
man comes in and declares his tax too
low, there is no authority for making
it higher All the notices are being
mailed as rapidly as possible and the
entire lot will soon be sent out.

YOUNG ADVENTURES.
Two Young Children Leave Home
and Board an Overland Train.

Milton Pierpoint aged three and half
years, son of John Pierpoint. and Hor-
ace Bourne, young shaver, aged 4,
SON of George t. Bourne, gave their par
ents and friends quite a scare yesterday.
The children, tired of the humdrum life
IN the quiet neighborhood of K street.
determined to seek adventures, and about
IL o'clock IN the forenoon, without say
ing word to anybody, started off for
the Rio Grande Western railway depot
and boarded the overland train going
east without anyone taking any notice
of them. The conductor making the
round of the train to collect tickets dis
covered the urchins, but failed to find
anyone on the train who knew anything
about them.
They were just old enough to be able
to tell their names and that they came
from Salt Lake: The conductor was puz-
zled to know how to act, but carried
them on until he met the train from
Denver at Bingham junction, when he
gave them in charge of the conductor
on the train coming to this city, who
brought them up and put them off at
the depot, from whence they were taken
home.
During their absence, their parents be-
came greatly alarmed having no idea
what had become of the youngsters. The
whole neighborhood turned out and
search parties were organized. who
hunted high and low, in water bitches,
down wells, up telegraph poles and ex-
amined street car wheels fearing they
might have been run over.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
truants, much to the relief of the friends,
reached their homes.

Painful Accident Sustained By n
Union Pacific Fireman Yesterday.
John E. Husband, a Union Pacific
fireman, met with a painful accident
yesterday afternoon at Draper. Hus-
band was outside his engine on the
running board, attending to some
duty, when his foot slipped and was
caught for an instant between the
cross head and the frame, crushing it.
Husband had presence of mind enough
to enable him to hang on, else he
might have been killed, as the engine
was running very fast.
Husband was brought to this city
and taken to his home, 344, North
Fifth West, where his injuries were
attended to by DR.. Harrison, who is
acting as Union Pacific surgeon in the
absence of DR.. Daily. The physician
says the foot, while badly crushed,
will not have to be amputated
Husband is man of family and
this accident will lay him up for some
time. He was firing the passenger
from the south which arrives in this
city at 4:35.

STILL THEY GO.
Gleason Drew Another Big House
Last Night.


The entertainment given last even
ing by Professor Gleason in the old
skating rink on West Temple street,
was we'll attended a great number of
ladies being present who evidently
took great interest in the evOlutions
of wild and unruly horses in the hands
of the noted horse tanner.
The place of exhibition has been
nicely fitted up, one side being given
up to reserved seats, and they We're
last night as we'll filed as the other
side given to general admission.
The first horse taken in the ring
was a grey, nervous and given to
fighting the whip. After the regula-
ton course of handling, such faults
were not observable.
The next was a roam, given to kick
ing and running away when in har-
ness, and such features were eliminat-
ed when the professor got through
with it.
Then came claybank horse that
proved a. corker-lunging. plunging
and taxing the attendants-one time
the animal attempted TO go up stairs
among the spectators-but it was no
go, in the hands of the professor.
a beautiful saddle horse was tanned
thoroughly so-and in tina end stood
calm over exploding fire-crackers. a
horse was then brought forth pro-
vided with a deafening steam whistle,
and with such noise and clouds of
steam blown in the animals face,
stood passive. This elected great APP

A number of other horses were
handled, all evincing good results of

Many persons o. slender means have
seen the savings of years swallowed
up in a few weeks by exorbitant
doctor bills. Serious illness and it's
result, heavy bills, may almost be pre-
vented if taken in time. When the
system seems to be run down, the
blood weak and impure causing erup-
tions, headache, weakness and lassi-
tude, backache, scrofula, biliousness,
chills, aversion to work, etc, there is
reason for belief that serious illness is
threatened. A bottle of Dr. Pierce's

the impurities from the system, en-
rich the blood, bringing sound health,
