IF were but farmer, sighed the merchant,
'.Oh, to be
From al these petty dragging cares for just
a twelvemonth free.
"No books to keep, no trust accounts, no
bills long over due;
No fret from fussy customers because q thing
is new,
because a thing is old or wrong, too dear,
or underweight;
No worrying to suit their tastes from early
day till late;
"But flowered fields, and loving kline, and
pleasant fireside chat
How gladly would give this life ifI could
change to that,
IF were but a merchant" sighed the far
mer. "Oh, TO end
This life Of tugging, dragging work which
makes the body bend
"To stoop of age ere age has come, It's plow,
and plant, and reap,
And milk the cows, and feed the pigs, and
mind the calves and sheep

and taxes ever high,
And chiidren's feet that must be shod, and
childrens clothes to buy!
"No toll worn hands the merchant has. for
weather cares he not;
How gladly would take his place and think
it happy lot"
The outlook is good for the farmer
who keeps the weeds out Of the corn
and the soil mellow.
Hessian flies, chincl bugs and army
worms have done much injury to grass
and grain in the West and South.
The conditions have been favorable
to large production of butter, and
hence low prices and much placed in
cold storage.
From the receipts of hogs there
must still be plenty of them in the
western belt, and plenty Of corn on
which to fatten them.
Ex-Statisiician Dodge thinks there
is scarcity Of sheep, and bright
outlook for those who take care of
their flocks. We hope So.
Great strength in the butter market
may be locked for when the stock
that has been stored for two or three
years in New York is offered for sale!
Whew.
1t is estimated that as many as 300,-
600 cases of eggs we're pit ced in cold
storage in Chicago as early as the last OF
May, and supplies continued to rap
idly accumulate. Never before have
eggs been so plentiful

OF Interest
To Farmers
LIME FOR PEACH ORCHARDS.

LIME FOR PEACH ORCHARDS.
There is nothing to be found to
equal lime either for young or old
peach orchards. The fruit natures
and has much better flavor. When
orchards are thoroughly lined it in
creases the yield wonderfully and the
color. of the fruit developes much bet
ter. 1t will pay every owner of an Or
chard to experiment with lime but be
careful and use little lime free from
Magnesia or as near you can. Lime
charged high with Magnesia will
cause trees and corn to french. So the
less Magnesia lime contains the better
it is for agricultural use.
Lime hurries the putrefaction an de-
composition of mineral and vegetable
element of the soil and in this action
there is vegetable Humus or Mould
produced which distils and unlocks
plant food. Magnesia is very iDjur-
ious to this Humus or Mould as it
poisons and kills this process. There
fore the tendency of Magnesia is to
deaden and lock up whilst the alkaline
of lime is just the opposite, that is to
release and bring to life the dormant
matter of the soil. Many farmers that
use lime containing from 30 to so per
cent of Magnesia have condemned lime
claiming that it did no good. They
were not aware that the Magnesia in
the lime was doing the damage. To
get the best res ults from lime it must
be free from Magnesia. A lime free
from Magnesia is equal to bcne in
every respect and any experiment made
will prove this to be fact. 1t is the
best and cheapest chemical to use to
keep up a healthy peach orchard. 1t
will pay to lime every orchard. Those
in doubt should experiment on single
rows through the orchard and they
will see the advantage next season in
quantity, quality and color of fruit.
The sooner the lime il applied the bet
ter it will act On next crop.

The Cause of Fevers.

Few people fully appreciate the effects of
malaria on the human system. Residents of
low-lying districts are daily storing away in
their bodies the inhaled germs of disease
which permeate the air, and even where the
location is elevated, too often sanitation is
imperfect and emanations from decaying
vegetable matter render the air poisonous.
The result is a train of bilious disorders, agues
intermittent and bilious fevers. A good plan
is to take few doses of a mild but thorough
and searching cathartic whenever an attack
is threatened. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are unequaled. They depur-
ate the liver, cure constipation, improve di-
gestion and often ward off dangerous fevers.
Once used, they are alwaysin favor.

The most back-breakiDg piece Of
work that ever reached the ironing
board is the duck suit. 1t is best con-
quered by ironing it Oh something soft,
and from the wrong side, so far as pos

it getting into the wash for one season.
A skirt braid will protect the bottom
for long time, and when it does be-
come soiled, lay it on board and scrub
with small brush. Then brush with
cold water till all dark edges are re-

who decided, in his perplexity, that as
he could only marry one of them, he
would choose her who was the most
particular in small matters. 50 one day
when he was dining with lhem, he
watched their actions when cheese
was put on their plates. The first cut
the crust off. She was too extravagant.
The second ate the crust she Was not
dainty enough. The third scraped The

frugal mind; 50 they we're married

made a test "a IL woman somewhat af-
ter the same fashion. She Was attrac-
tive in appearance, but he was doubt
full as to whe, her she was particular in
small things. Que day when he called
on her, he Carefully placed a long haii
on his coat sleeve and sat in the light
where it could be seen. 1t the young
woman saw it and tosSsd it on The

heart. If she put it in the fire place
he would marry her. Her fa.e really

1t sometimes happens that cold
boiled ham is a most convenient article
to have in the house in summer. Prop
erly speaking, boiled or praised ham
should never be served hot, except in
the winter season. A we'll cured, well
cooked piece of cold boiled ham, how
ever, is as digestible as any cold meat,
except tender chicken, aud it makes
the most delicious of potted meats and
of rechauffes, and the tenGerest, most
piquant-favored of sandwiches. All
these small dishes belong peculiarly to
summer, because they are articles easily
prepared in the cool of the morning, or
