Hold On to Your sheep.

It is folly to leave one branch of the
live stock business for another, when
other men are doing the same thing, so
that prices are utterly demoralized:
Nothing but loss can be the result Of
such a procedure. The time to buy Is
when every man wants to sell; the time
to sell is when everyone wants to buy.
A short time ago stoclSmen were
tumbling over one another trying to
dispose OF sheep, practically giving
them away. Of course, any sane man
could see that the outcome of such a
practice must, sooner or later, make
sheep paying property. So just hold on
to your sheep; that is, all the best OF
them; tne sooner the culls go, the bet
ter, but, the good ones, feed up and
orced up and be ready to take the re-
ward. Mutton sells we'll, even if wool
is too low for proft.-Rural World.

But he speedily enlightened me.
"Ah, that's where you are wrong" he
replied, giving me a shrewd glance. "1n

My present employer, a wel[known
Kimberley man, who had lately turned
his attention to the Witwatersrandt

but looked more, owing to the hard and
adventurous life he had led. His tanned,
weather-beaten face appeared common

About 20 years since the writer knew
a young man who fell deeply in love
with a red-cheelked lassie, who worked
in the same mill. But though she was
the subject of his nightly dreams and
deily thoughts, he was so bashful lie
could not, or dared not, show his hand
Atlast, driven to desperation, he put up
the banns of marriage at the village
church.
On the following morning the I'M
wooed bride-elect went to the young
man and demanded an explanation.
Thus cornered, he confessed the truth,

As They ARE.

Eelf-constituted sages draw strange fancies
from afar,
And mock the man who sees and paints
things earthly as they are;
They like to mount to airy heights on far
cy's feathery wings,
But scott at those who tell stern truths OF
earth-lifes' common things;
Perhaps they mount so high. that things SO
plain to people here,
From dizzy elevations IN distorted shapes
appear.
And yet we live IN daily touch with hassard
things and poor,
We see the lowly sphere IN which men sur
fer and endure;
The touch of poverty and pain the over
crop of ills,
The dissipation and distress which curses
ere it kills;
All these are near US every day. stern
spectres Of each hour,
What wonder that some paint 1t all In
words of plying power?
We cannot always soar aloft mid sunsets
golden bars.
Float with the eagles in ozone among the
silvery stars,
Sail out on seas Of crystal to the islands
of the blest,
And bask In Gains and tropic palms when
glorify the west;
Some must do daily where the city's
pulses beat,
And note the misery which Hines full many
a squalid street.
Here settle dregs left fostering there by
eddies Of LIES sea,
Where demons Of most horrid mien feast
long in ghoulish glee;
Where passions fired by alcohol make cess
pools black with lust;
Where happiness is hollow and joys crum-
BILE into dust;
Where vice carouses, buE9ard-like, on hu-
man carbon fed,
Where conscience wears e coat Of mail
and principle is dead.
Some painter with the pen must sketch
these things with faithful touch,
Not palliating evil or condoning over
much;
Not softening the gloons OF hell or padding
lurid truth
With silSen words as cushions used TO
break the fall Of youth:
Let human beings yet uncursed see these
things as they are,
And knowing what has peopled hell sheer
of, unscorched, afar.
We need the faithful art which shows the
plain, unwelcome fact.
Which scorns disguise or vain deceit In
purpose, word or act;
Which, not despising fancy, yet the truth
unvarnished knows,
And does not care to paint the reptile pcs
ing as the rose.
We human beings may not yet soar bird
like in the air,
so near the sun that daAzled eyes see
neither Ill nor care.
But see, reveal and then relieve soul-sSrrow

GIRL In The CALICO GOWN.


When it's room on the field
And we're stretched in the shade;
Where the salt meadows yield
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 whirr of the scythe,
She comes with the dinner pail swinging.
queen with sunbonnet crown,
And the thrush takes his note from her
singing
The girl in the calico gown.
Not lily that blows
Has half Of her grace,
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 leaf that the breeze flutters down,
And the blossoms bow low as she passes
The girl in the calico gown.
And she scarce throws glance
At the spot where I stand,
For her pa" looks askance
At the love of hand"
But know that tonight
She will come where l 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,
VIII ask me again if love her

Preventing Egg Eating.

If an egg is broken the hens will eat
1t, and it is 10y eggs being broken that
the hens learn the vice, as they never
eat eggs unless they first find one
broken. The only way to prevent the
hens from eating eggs after they cnce
begin is to make nest with top, COM
pelling the hen to walk in to reach the
nest, and have the box raised ten
inches from the floor, so that the hen
cannot stand near the box to eat the
eggs. When she goes on the nest she
cannot do any harm, as she must come
off and stand up TO eat the eggs.-Farm

Use CT Liquid Manure.

1t does not generally pay to use liquid
manure on q large scale. 1t is costly
method of manuring, as the water adds
greatly to the bulk, and nature in the
course of the year usually supplies wa
ter enough to liquefy all the plant food
the crops require. But there are special
cases where liquid manuring will pay
if used properly. The most common
mistakes are, first, making the liquid
manure too strong, in which case ii
will rot the roots instead Of feeding
them. The other is allowing any liquid
manure, however weak, to get on the
leaves of plants. They are benefited
by being washed by rains, but by moth.

HIVES MADE AT HOME.
Those with the Least Fixtures Are
the Most Satisfactory.


the Most Satisfactory.
The kind and size of hive is most
bewildering question for beginners
The hive to meet the demands of bee
keepers in general is the one with the
least fixtures. The Quimby frame. or
one Of about that size. has won the ia
,or Of the apiarist in this locality. The
hive we prefer is made of seven-eighth
inch pine planed on both sides, 90 inch
square outside measure. and - inches
In depth, with hand holes in the sides.
The upper and lower stories are alike.
The front board is 2s inch narrower,
thus leaving an entrance % by20inches.
A slat 3s by q by 90 inches is used to
control the size OF the entrance. The
bottom board has a cleat by 1 inch
on each end, to prevent curling around
on the under side. If two boards are
used they should be matched.
The rabbet Oh which the frames hang
Is furnished with improved tin. The
alighting board has cleat "a by z,
inch on each end and is G by 90 inches.
A piece Of inch hoop iron inches long
is bent almost on square; one is nailed
at each end of the alighting board on
the top side by one end; the other end
has three-cornerei hole to be hung on
two screws, one at each end. at the
proper height to bring the top of the
alighting board even with the lower
side of the entrance. The bottom board
as we'll as the upper and lower stories
are held in place by the Van Deusen
hive clamp; they may be used without.
The furniture for this hive consists ola
division board 11A BY 1873 inches, with =
top bar u by Y by 10 inches scant
measure. 1t is made of Y inch lumber
with cleat Y by q inch on each end to
prevent curling. The frames are 17H
by 11h inches outside measure.
The top bar is made so as to form
comb guide and is 10 inches scant. The
bottom bars are q by by 1914 inches;
the ends 11h by IL inches. The hive
contains the division board and from l

THE MINISTER'S FEE.

1t Wsa = Good One, But He Did Not
Know 1t for Nearly n Year.
Many stories have been related Of the
odd form adopted by eccentric young
people in presenting the marriage fee
to the minister, but not one have l heard
that quite equaled in unique method the
story told by the minister of an Epis-
copal church in the northwest section
of the city.
a young couple was to be married,
and each party being scion of
wealthy family the minister naturally
looked forward TO a generous reward
for his offices.
The ceremony was performed, and
the groom, at the proper time, handed
the minister an envelope little larger
than the ordinary size, and the con-
tents appeared to be of such soft thick
ness as to satisfy the clergyman that
his hope had been realized.
In the privacy of his own apartments
the seal was broken, when, alas! all
pleasant anticipations faded away, for
there was but-a pair of gloves-a very
fine, very elegant pair, it's true, but
still only gloves.
And so the man of God swallowed his
disappointment and laid the souvenir
away.
Nearly year afterward, when a spe-
cial occasion called for their use, the
minister bethought him of the gloves
and brought them to the light.

fitting them to his hands, and, upon en-
animation, 10! in each finger, neatly
folded, was fresh. crisp five-dollar bill.

winter Grain After Potatoes.

Wherever the potato crop can be got
off in time for seeding with fall grain
it makes the very best seed bed. No
blowing is needed If the weeds have
been kept down. 1t is only necessary
TO Pile the potato vines in heaps and
burn them, starting the fire in brush
heap if the potato tops are too green
to burn readily. A great deal of plant
food is developed after growing a crop
OF potatoes. 1t is largely heterogeneous,
as the potato crop is chiefly water and
carbon. with some potash, which is
mostly found in the potato tops.

A clever device for utilizingthe beauty
that remains in fine lace curtains that
have seen their day is to cut out the
rich raised work rings and wreaths
from which the delicate net has
worn away. Apply them to squares of
velvet or satin for use as cushion covers.
Applied on olive or metallic green vel

effect is rich and elegant, especially
