Couldn't Dodge COurtfnr.

About 20 years since the writer knew
a young man who fell deeply in love
with red-cheeked lassie. who worked
in the same mill. But though she was
the subject of his nightly dreams and
daily thoughts, he was so bashful he
could not, or dared not, show his hand.
At last, driven to desperation, he put up
the banns Of marriage at the village
church.
On the following morning the un-
wooed bride-elect went to the younp
man and demanded an exclamation,
Thus cornered, he confessed the truth.
adding: IF :ha will not ha' me. I con

'Whod did tina pay?" asked the prac-

SYSTEMATIC WORK
without 1t Poultry Raising Cn,,
he Made u Succexx

Too much work and no pav disoo,,
ages all who look forward for the BEST
results, and it is safe to claim that \
great many persons who keen )arn1
flocl1s do more work than they shon11
be compelled to perform; not that worl,l
should be avoided, for only work will
enable the poultryman to derive .
profit, but there is no reason why such
work should be drudgery, or become
SO disagreeable that one should dread
to do the duties assigned. No matter
what the work may be, if one has Soy.
eral hundred hens, and gives his whola
attention to business (poultry), a reyu.
lar routine can be followed; but for ,
small flock of not over 20 hens it doc.
not pay to spend several hours in the
poultry house. 1t is just such duties
that have Disguised many, and only
those who keep fowls for pleasure and
have plenty of time to spare can afford
to lose the time devoted to small Int
of hens. But much of the work ;s
made; that is, more work must be done
because it is not done right. The clean
ing of the poultry house is job which
no one enjoys. TO 60 into poultry
house on cold day and pick and scrape
the droppings, inhaling the dust and
getting dirt on the feet and dust on tbe
clothes, is more than should be done
unless the hens are returning a fair
compensation therefor in eggs. 1t all
depends upon what the attendant does
and how he cleans the poultry house,
One who understands his business will
clean the house with broom, and use
nothing else. First the house is
thoroughly cleaned and dusted; then
dry dirt is sprinkled under the roost
on the floor. On this are placed leaves
or cut straw. Instead of cleaning the
poultry house once Il week this work IS
done daily. With the broom the walls,
roosts, tops and nest boxes and floor
are swept, the refuse removed and more
dirt and clean litter added, which will
require less than ten minutes for an
ordinary poultry house, thus also Civ.
ing the fowls clean, dry quarters and
assisting to ward off disease. The same
in feeding: first learn, by feeding, how
much the fowls should have, and scat
ter the grain in clean litter and the
work is done. Have a place (on the
manure heap is best) for the refuse
litter. so as to be able to dispose of it
handily. Fowls kept in this manner
will lay, and to clean the poultry house
daily will be less difficult than to wait
until large amount of filth accum,l-
lates to invite disease.-Farm and Fire

10 unload, fasten the ropes to beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. Inc
first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in few min
uteS.
The ropes should be SO laid that they
will not catch to anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
is to be determined by practice. In I'M
loading, if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied to the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost dl-
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do it high enough to pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down OH one or the other while
unloading, as he finds it necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. 1t is best
to practice a few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop, by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Care Must BE Taken to Insure Its |

Care Must BE Taken to Insure It's
Keeping in Good Condition.
On the average farm it is nearly al
ways necessary to store more or less
grain. Oats for seed and feeding, wheat
for seed and exchange at the mill for
flour, as we'll as to market. Wheat is
cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; it is often as good
a plan to store the wheat in the granary
and sell as the money is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then putt the
money in the bank.
But it is essential when grain of any
kind is to be stored away that pains be
taken TO store in such way as will in
sure it's keeping in a good condition.
This granary should be clean, well-ven-
tilated and as nearly vermin-proof as
possible. A separate building will gen
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If new granary is to be built, the
work should foe done in good season, so
as to be sure to have it ready when the
threshing is done, as there is always
more or less loss every time that small
grain is handled, and it is quite an item
to handle it as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
floor well up from the ground, set on
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets of
iron over each post to keep out rats and
mice; have a good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, Of
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored, but it is best to have plen-
ty of room, SO that in case it is necessary
to store damp grain there will be room
to stir it about.
With an old granary a thorough clean
ing out should be given, and it will be
better if the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using a good lime wash into
which small quantity of carbolic acid
or copperas has been stirred
1t is hardly good economy to start
crop in such way or under such con-
ditions that it will not be reasonably
sure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; it is quite an item to make this
as small as possible.-St. Louis Repub-

GIRL in THE CALICO GOWN.

When it's noon on the field,
And we're stretched in the shade: i
Where the salt meadows yield y
To the cool Of the glade,
Where the spring bubbles sweet,
And the thrush whistles blithe,
And there's rest from the heat
And the whrr of the scythe,
She comes with the dinner pail swinging
queen with a sunbonnet crown,
And the thrush takes his note from .f:er
singing
The girl in the calico gown.
Not lily that blows
Has half OF her grach,
And the red OF the rose
Is the blush of her face,
And the blue OF her eye
Is the blue of the deep,
When the wind leaves the sky
And the waves are, asleep.
Her foot is as light, on the grasses,
AS a leaf that the breeze flutters down.
And the blossoms bow low as she passes
The girl in the calico gown.
And she scarce throws a glance
At the spot where I stand,
For her pa" looks askance
At the love,of a "hand;'
But know that tonight
She will come where I wait,
Twixt the dark and the light
At the old garden gate.
And there, with the lilacs: above her,
My sweet, with; the tresses of brown,
Will ask me again if I love her
The girl in the calico gown.

movement in England, the attitude as
sumed by the leading South African
churches toward teetotalism is not par
tlcularly sympathetic. 1t appears from
the letter that the synod of the principal
Dutch Reformed church in South At
RIGA passed a resolution some time ago
to the effect that it is lawful for a Chris
tan to make wine and brandy from the
produce of his vineyard and to employ
the profits gained thereby for the
church. Another branch of the Dutch
reformed church in South Africa goes
further, for in March last it's synod
passed the following declaration:
The synod decides that members who
unite themselves with teetotal societies
become unfaithful to their member
