LElSURELY LANE.

q there no road now to Leisurely I.ane?-
We Travelled it long ago;
4 place for the tagging Of leisurely steps.
sweet and shady and slow,
There were rims Of restful hills beyond.
and fields Of dreamful wheat,
With shadows Of clouds across them
blown, and poppies asleep at our feet.
There lads and maids on Sunday met and
strolled them. two and two:
The leaves they laced in . roof o'erhead
and only the sun peered through;
And there was time to- gather a rose, and
time for the woodbird's call,
And plenty Of time to sit by a stream and
harken its ripple and fall. ~
(God knows we have hurried afarD
There was once lamp through the brood
ing dusk. and over the tree a star;
Tnero was once q breath of the clover
bloom (sweet Heaven, we have hur-
ried 50 longD
And there was Z gate by q white rose
clasped, and out of the dusk q song.
That song the echo is strange and
sweet, the voice 1t is weak and old:
1t hath no part with this fierce. wild rush
and this hard, mad fight for gold!
1t hath no part with the clamor and din
and the Earring Of wheel and stone!
oh, listen. my heart. and forget-forget
that we reap the bread we have sown!
Is there. no road1now to Leisurely Lane
y where. lingering, one by one,
The summoning bells Of twilight time over
the meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way
glad Of the evening star?
10 there no road now to Leisurely Lane;
God knows we have hurried afar!

HORTICULTURAL DOTS.

a tub of water in the milk room, Smiths
swing stancheons, and a manure gut
ter in rear of COWS. The labor of VEN
tilation, watering, feeding and clean
ing the stables is reduced to mini
mum. Manure is dropped under the
stable. The main barn is. packed full
of hay annually. 1t also contains sta
bles for six horses, bedding material for
COWS and feed. A circular silo, 10 feet
in diameter and high to hold $50 tons,
will be built this summer, to open into
the main barn. Last winters COW
ration consisted of ensilage, hay, oat
fodder, corn fodder and corn meal,
gluten meal and bran, all except gluten
and bran being raised on the farm.
On this 125-acre farm, of which ten
are in woodland, 60 in pasture and IS in
thorough cultivation, things are made
to move all the time. The six horses
are kept busy at work except during
winter, and three men are employed all
the time, others as needed. Milk is the
main crop being sold direct to con-
sumers in the neighboring cities.-Or-
ange Judd Farmer.

Thin Cream from Cows.

1t does not pay to let cows get very
thin in flesh, for if they do both the
amount and quality of their milk will
be impaired for the ensuing year. An
old farmer once said that when grain,
and especially corn, was plenty and
cheap he could always look for profit
able butter yield from his dairy. There
is such thing as feeding too heavily
with corn, thus fattening the COW and
decreasing her milk yield. No good
farmer is likely to make this mistake.
There are very few herds of cows which
cannot proftably be fed much more
grain than they now receive. It is for
this reason that we urge all farmers to
grow corn for home feeding. It will
be fed much more freely if grown on
the farm than If It has to be purchased.

The Sen.

It is the sea which ennobles every
thing. Between the line and the surf
there was but the ancient foreshore.
covered with prickly tamarisks and
mauve-colored heath, with yellow sand
conspicuous here and there. At the linn
it. of the foreshore the rugged border
line cuts clear into deep and somber
blue. It is she-blue as any grape
on this cluster which hangs in he.cool-
ing breeze. The azure deepens, filling
up a good half of the range of sight;
the white sail of a fishing smack floats
alone like hollow she'll; the eternal
monotone of ocean is borne upon the
ear. Draw near and see the leaping
silver foam. Above this intense blue
the sky is transparency, superbly pale,
and the stars are hurrying to light their
lamps. There is not a living soul, not i
plant, nor any sign of the hand of man.

HIS CREDuLouS WIFE

Mrs. Rancks went to the door and yelled
for the children, and Mr.. Bancks walked on

No. But my wife does. All summer ]

HOW TO KEEP ONIONS.
They Must Be Handled Quite as Care
fully as Apples.

They Must Be Handled Quite a. Care
fully AZ Apples.
Half the secret of keeping onions
well is in housing them in perfectly
dry, sound condition. If to be sold be-
fore cold weather, keep in any dry place
with plenty of air; loose floor where
air can pass up through them is best.
For winter use, keep at low temper
ature; if kept from actual freezing
there is no danger of the temperature
being too low. They must be kept dry,
but if they become frozen they should
not be handled, merely covered and
kept in the dark until the frost grad
ually leaves them. It is not the freez-
ing which does the mischief, but NOV
ing them when frozen, and repeated
thawing and withdrawing of frost.
Wherever the essential conditions pre-
vail of uniformly low, dry temperature,
absence of light and not too severe
frast, they may be- safely stored for
winter. Moisture and heating in bulk
should be guarded against. To avoid
gathering moisture and heating, the
bulbs should not be over two feet deep,
better less. If too warm they grow and
rot.
For winter storage, place them in a
building with tight floors under which
the frost cannot get. On such floor
place scantling, upon which lay narrow
boards one-half inch apart. Upon this
drying floor build up false partition
one foot within the outside walls. Thus
arranged, they have a free circulation
of air all around and under them. When
the temperature sinks to 20 degrees it
is we'll to fill in the space with straw
to stop the circulation of the cold air.
They can be put in bins of this struc-
ture, from two to three feet deep.
Cover with hay or cornstalks sufficient
1y to protect them. Always handle
them as carefully as apples, as even
slight bruises cause them to mold or
rot.-N. E. Farmer.

Walter,a First Dip.

Walter r was six years old. He
never had seen the ocean. We were
to spend the summer at the seaside,
and Walter had new bathing suit.
Every boy in the block was invited
into the house to see him try it on, and
one day we discovered him in the bath
tub surrounded by an admiring group
of juveniles, to whom he was discours-
ing about how he would dive from the
end of the iron pier when he reached
the ocean. When the young man, how
ever, saw the ocean with the great
waves rolling on the beach, he could
not be induced to go near it, and posi-
lively refused to put on his bathing
suit. One day his father offered him
so cents if he would put on his suit
and get wet all over once. He wanted
the money very much, and he finally
consented. Clasping his arms around
his fathers neck like wise, the great
undertaking was begun. After much
shivering and trembling he was wet
about two inches above his ankles,
when he exclaimed: Papa! T.
