to the fact that war for the amelioration

to history, the wars of America, and par
ticularly those of the Revolution and the
Rebellion. He paid fine tribute to the
sacrifices and the valor of the American
soldier; spoke feelingly of the noble dead;
encouraged the soldier to lead life wor-

the present condition and necessities of
the country. The whole address was filed

How 1t Happened.

man from the city, who was inclined to
be critical. How terribly cross-eyed
that half-grown son Of Farmer Whet-
rock Is. He is certainly the worst
case ever saw. He looks as IL one eye
was gazing regretfully back at last
Fourth Of July, while the other was
looking anxiously forward to next
Christmas. What an unfortunate
thing to have been born sou
''Oh, he wasn't born that way" re-
piled Farmer Hornbeak. Zone time,
when the boy was about nine years old,
his father took him out in the woods,
an they saw a big gray squirrel up in a
tree an chipmunk friskin' around on
the ground some distance to one side.
The old man told the boy to stand per-
fectly still an keep his eyes fixed on
both of 'em while he went back to the
house for his gun. The boy obeyed or
ders so faithfully that by the time his
father got back his eyes were twisted
clear Of their bias, an they've stayed
that way ever since"

Her Dream Came True.

When Gen. Vane was quartered in a
small town in Ireland he and his lady
were regularly besieged whenever they
entered their carriage by an old beggar
woman who was always provided with
a fresh tale of distress. The charity
and patience of the two distinguished
persons were long exhausted without
any diminution in the beggar's powers
of invention. One morning they were
accosted as usual, but with the follow
ing new plan of attack:
"Ah, yer honor, SUCCESS to yer honors
honor and yer lady's honor, on this av
all mornin's. For didn't l dream last
night that yer ladyship give me a
pound av tea and yer honor give me a
pound av tobaccy"
"But, my good woman" said the gen.
eral, don't you know that dreams go
by contraries?"
Sure then" replied the ready
tongue, sit must be yer honor that is
going to give me the pound av tay an
yer ladyship that will give me the
pound av tobaccy."
She got the value of the dream.

Up-to-Dave Love.

The story of love may be that old,
old story" but the manner in which it
Is told Is ever changing. This is the
day of the motto button, and the end
of-the-century young man expresses
his feeling for the up-to--date young
woman in style upon which as yet no
grass has grown.
The two seat themselves in the par
lor. The coat of the young man and
the what-do-you-call-it of the young
woman are covered with buttons. He
hands one to her. 1t says:
Girl Wanted"
She unpins one from her breast, and,
with a blush, hands it to him. 1t
reads:
How do you like my style?"
The man presents: You tickle me
nearly to DEATH"
The Woman: There are others"
The Man: May, nay, Pauline!"
The Woman: "Oh, say notn'
The Man: There's only one girl in

The Woman: I'm something of a
liar myself"
The Man: "Then my name is Dem

The Woman: Faint heart never

The Man: MY heart loveth."
The Woman: Sixteen to one?"

Making Money In Poultry.

When We foot up the sales this year
think / shall find larger cash bal
ance than we have had for some years,
and I think this is due to two things
says poultry breeder. First, better
feeding; and, second, wiser marketing.
OF one thing am sure, and that is that
/ never before got as many eggs in a
season from the same number Of fowls,
and never fed so regularly and care
fully. Our hens are now many of them
moulting, and the number is reduced
to about eighty, as we lost quite num-
Der from apoplexy during the hot
weather, cooked several before the
young chickens were old enough to eat,
and sold few to neighbor; but dur
ing the two months of July and August
we sold 1873 dozen Of eggs from them.
l did not keep an account of the eggs
used in the family, but as this is the
season of the year for picnics and COM
pany, and on several occasions We used
more than dozen eggs a day. think
that our hens laid fully 200 dozen eggs
in the two months. In these times of
low prices, 80 or $40 month in cash
Is not to be considered insignificant.
At no time during these two months
did the hucksters who pass my house
pay more than cents dozen for eggs.

Western Sheep Men.

The heaviest sheep owners Of Col
orado and Wyoming are not the men
who came into this country from TWEEN
ty to twenty-five years ago with capital
that they invested in herds. but the
owners OF thousands of sheep at the
present day are their former employees,
says Denver Field. The men with the
capital obtained the experience, not
always profitable, while the hired
herdsmen, many Of them very intelli-
gent Americans from the east. OBJ
tanned their wages and proflted by their
experience. They secured little flocks
that have now grown to thousands in
number of sheep, studied conditions
carefully, adapted themselves to the
conditions, until to-day they are able
to prontably compete with the great
wool-producing foreign countries. The
sheep owners of the past in this coun-
try endeayored to run what they called
sheep ranch. This means keeping
the herds on the same tract Of land
year after year until the land was I'M
able to sustain them. Rotation in pas
ture for sheep Is just as necessary as
rotation of crops on farm. This sys-
tenn OF changing ranges or pastures for
sheep has been the custom in Spain
and Switzerland for centuries, and also
other countries. Sheepmen have fail
ed by trying to keep the sheep winter
and summer on the same range. There
nave been exceptions to the eastern
methods. but they are few.
An English Cooperative Failure
Many of our readers will regret TO
hear that the effort lately made in the
north to establish a cooperative asso-
citation for the sale Of Aberdeenshire
meat in London has failed. The scheme
was generally good one, but it met
with inadequate pecuniary support, not
outstanding the fact that it was TAX
en- up both by lairds and producers.
The objects aimed at were to supply
the consumers in London with the best
quality of the genuine Aberdeenshire
produce. and to enable the producer to
receive the full value of his cattle AMI
sheep, without so much Of the profits
being diverted into the pockets of mid
dlemen. The exposures made before
the house of lords commission, and 9TH
er circumstances. have created a con-
viction in the minds of northern farm
ers that they were being defrauded by
the state Of things prevailing in the
meat trade. and remedy was sought
in cooperation. The method proposed
was to open shops in the metropolis
exclusively 70; the sale of northern
beef and mutton. There Is little doubt
that purchasers would have appreciated
the opportunity that would have been
thus afforded them for obtaining prime
British-fed meat. about the origin of
which there could be no deception. But
the scheme has failed on the financial
difiiculty-sufflcient capital was not
forthcoming; and for the present both
producers and consumers will have to
be content with the old arrangements
of supply and sale.-London Farmer.
