THE SUMNER OF THE HEART,

For all the wintry flakes OF frost it's summer
time somewhere
Violets in the valleys, bird songs in the air;
The chilly winds have only blown the lily
lips apart
It's summer in the world, my dear, and
summer in the heartl
For all the gray skies glooming it's summer
in the dells-
In the merry song of reapers, in the tink-
ling of the bell;
1he sweet south-skies are Frightening as
with springtime's magic art
But the sweetest summer, dearest, is the
summer in the heart,
Still, still the birds are singing, and still the
groves are green;
And still the roses redden, and the loyal
lilies lean;
Love fades not with the season; when sum
mer days depart,
It's summer still, my dearest, in the Eden
Of the heart!

Old Tom Logan, who stood at the
head of the Oregon bar for a great
many years, was an inveterate wag as
well as most brilliant and able
lawyer. Most of the anecdotes told
of Logan's court room encounters will
not bear publication, but here is one
that will
One day Logan was arguing a case
before Chief Justice Greene, of the
Supreme Court of what was at that
time the Territory of Washington
opposed to him was u backwoods
lawyer named Browne. Logan con-
tinually referred to the counsel on the
other side as though his name were
spelled "Browny," to the evident
annoyance of that gentleman. AT
last the Judge interfered, remark
ing:
"Mr. Logan, the gentleman's name
is spelled 'B-r-o-w-n-e,' and is pro-
nounced Brown, not 'Browny.' Now,
my name is spelled 'G-r-e.e.n-e,' but
you would not pronounce it 'Greeny,'
would you?"
"That," replied Logan, gravely, but
with n merry twinkle in his eye, ode

WISE. WORDS.

When the last sunshine of expiring
day in summer twilight creeps itself
away, who hath not felt the softness
of the hour sink on the heart-as dew
along the wer?--Byron.
The press was not granted by mon
archs; it was not gained for us by
aristocracies; but it sprang from the
people, and, with an immortal instinct,
it has always worked for the people. -
Disraeli
The great high road of human well
fare lies along the highway OF stead
fast well-doing, and they who are the
most persistent and work in the truest
spirit will invariably be the most sue
cessful. S. Smiles.
Who swerves from innocence. who
makes disuse of that serene compan-
ion, O good name, RECEIVERS not his
loss; but walks with shame, with
doubt, with fear, and haply with re.
morse. Wordsworth.
1t is high, solemn, almost awful,
thought for every individual man that
his earthly influence, which has had u
commencement, will never, through
all ages, were he the very meanest of
us, have an end.-Carlyle.
1t is no mans business whether he
has genius or not work he must, what
ever he is, but quietly and steadily;
and the natural and unforced results
of such work will be always the thing
God meant him to do, and will be his
best. .-Ruskin.
Though we do nothing, Time keeps
his constant pace, and flies as fast In
idleness as in employment. An hour
OF vice is as long as an hour of virtue.
But the difference which follows upon
good actions is infinite from that of
ill ones. .-Feltham.
1t is in the most part in our skill in
manners, and in the observance of
time and place, and OF decency in gen.
eral, that what is called taste consists
and which is in reality no other than
q more refined judgment. The cause
of II wrong taste is n defect of judg-
ment. Burke.

PROFIT IN BREEDING sows.

After every large corn crop there is
always brisk demand for young pigs
the following spring. Farmers who
have witnessed many such times in
their lives always calculate to save q
good)y number of breeding sows to be
mated early in December, and farrow
the last Of March or first of April. The
period of CESSATION in q SOW is about
sixteen weeks, though it sometimes
overruns that two or three days.
Whether pork is cheap or dear, breed
ing sows will always be source of
profit when their pigs are sold while
still small. The most rapid growth OF
the pig, and that which costs the
least, is made before it is 100 pounds
weight. Such pigs will also sell for
more per pound than those that are
larger. 1t is not uncommon when pigs
are dear for purchasers to pay very
nearly as much for the growing pig as
it will sell for when fattened. The SOW
that is bearing pigs will also fell for
much more than her value for pu-';.
The large, coarse sows are best for
breeding, but they should be mated
with small and fine boned boar. By
thus breeding the pigs will be kept
easily, and grow to larger size than
pigs that are pure bred on both sides.

have been kept. The best solution is
one ounce of corrosive sublimate in
eight gallons of water, applied with a
broom or mop, after standing twenty
four hours. It is very poisonous, and
loses its virtue i'll proportion to the
amount of dirt present, hence the
house, woodwork, etc., should be
cleaned before applying the disinfect-
ant, and the manure covered with
lime. The report contains an inter-
esting paper on three outbreaks of
fowl cholera and q hog-cholera-like
disease in pigeons.
The most important feature is the
report on diphtheria in fowls. DIR.
Moore holds that the so-called fowl
roup, influenza, and sometimes
cholera, are one and the same. In
the early stages of this disease, the
exudations are frequently of serous
or mucous character, and often fowls
die before tho diphtheritic condition
appears. The disease usually runs
slow, chronic course, from which the
majority OF afflicted fowls recover,
although it may run rapid, fatal
course. Treatment consists largely in
disinfecting the premises, letting in
sunlight, and giving the fowls plenty
of exercise, pure drinking water, dry
quarters aud good food; also in re-
moving the mucus in advanced stages.
This trouble can probably be pre-
vented entirely by such sanitary
methods, if precautions are taken not
to introduce the disease by buying
affected fowls. The diphthoria germ
in fowls is in no way like that in man,
but it is claimed to be possible for
diphtheritic fowls to transmit the dis
ease to children, and vice versa. This
disease is not to be confounded with
true fowl cholera. American Agricul-
turist.

THE COLTS TEETH,

In the colt the incieor and the first
three molars on each jaw are always
temporary and replaced by permanent
teeth sometime during the animals
life. The last three molars are always
permanent and are never replaced.
The teeth make their appearance as
follows: The two middle incisors and
the first three molars make their ap-
pearance before or some days after
birth, the first laterals four or six
weeks after birth, second laterals, or
corner teeth, six or nine months after
birth, the fourth molar first perma-
nent ones) is cut at from ten to twelve
months of age.
AT two and one-half years the mid
die incisors and the first and second
molars are replaced. At the same time
the fifth molar is cut. At three and
one-half the first lateral incisors and
the third molar are replaced. At four
and one-half the corner teeth are re-
placed, and the sixth molar is cut. In
case of a male the canine teeth are
also replaced at four and one hail.

A NEW FEED PLANT.

One of the new plants about which
there has been considerable inquiry of
late is cassava, a plant which grows
chiefly in the West Indies and Africa.
The plant closely resembles the cas-
tor bean the leaf is like that of the
bean, but not so large. The seeds
form smooth pod, and, when ripe,
resemble the castor bean seed, though
hardly so large nor dark. They ripen
in about eleven months.
The stalk will stand thirty-two de-
grees of cold. and where the mercury
does not fall lower than this will live
and grow for years. If the soil is rich,
and it has sufficient distance, it will
grow almost to q tree in one year.
The Southern Cultivator gives the
following description of the plant:
A cultivated field of this queer shrub
looks like q nursery of young peach
trees. The plant grows about five
feet high, the stem of each being iso-
lated, with few long, pointed leaves
at the top, and o bud or projecting
nucleus OF sprout at nearly every
inch of the otherwise nearly naked
stem. Dig down bit, and. you will
find cluster of irregular shaped tub
ers, resembling very large, long pars-
nips, five or six to the plant, weigh.
ing twenty-five or thirty pounds. The
roots only are eaten. When field
has been harvested the stems are
chopped into pieces about four inches
long, and these are planted. They
take root at the nodes, or joints, and
sprouts appear above ground in two or
three weeks. The bitter kind used in
Brazil (manihot utilissima) requires
two years to perfect crop, while the
sweet variety grown in Florida (mani-
hot aipi) will make crop in seven or
eight months.
According to the journal quoted,
for horses, mules, COWS, hogs, ETC.,
there is no root that will compare with
it. No stock, however, will be apt to
eat it ut the first trial, but when of.
fered them two or three times. when
hungry, before food they like is given,
they begin to relish it, and no further
trouble is known. 1t should be pulled
up and thrown to hogs. as they waste
it if turned on the patch, for it very
soon spoils, crude, in the open air.
For other animals, it should bo
brushed clean and washed we'll. All
the peeling may be left for the stock,
but not for human food.

Photography has had many triumphs.
One of the latest is associated with the
name of Professor Macy, famous for
his feats in instantaneous work. He
has just succeeded in photographing
dragon fly on the wing operation
which necessitated an exposure of only
one-rwenty-fve-thousandth of Sec
ond. The Photographic part of
the performance is wonderful enough,
and surely, as the Photogram says,
some credit should be awarded to the
man capable of accurately dividing q
second in $4,000 parts. Certainly a
man who can compute the twenty five
thousandth part OF second can com.
pute anything. Westminster Gazette.
