KIPLING'S LATEST.
From the Boston Record. ]

If you have painted picture and think
a few illustrative verses would be a good
thing to go under it, you had best exercise
caution in choosing your poet to make the
verses. Otherwise the poet may make the
picture merely illustrative of the poem, as
Rudyard Kipling has done with Philip
Burne-J ones's picture, 1.-THE Vampire"
"The Vampire" however, is called by
the st. James Budget one of the most
striking of the figure compositions in the
New Gallery in London this season. 1t
represents a room flooded with moonlight,
and in the room lies a man sleeping or dy-
ing, with pale wound in his breast, while
brooding and gloating over him is beau
tiful but malignant and relentless woman
of the vampire order.
Burne-J ones is a cousin of Rudyard
Kipling, and it was quite natural that he
should apply to him for the illustrative
verses which have turned his own work in
to an illustrative picture. Below is Mr..
Kipling's poem:
The Vampire.
Written for the picture by Philip Burne,Jones
in the New Gallery

Gentlemen: Our little daughter is now
four years old. When she was about three
months old, she had eruptions on her face
which were very disagreeable, and itched
so much, especially at night, that it made
her trouble a great deal worse. l was
obliged to keep her hands tied at night
and it was necessary to watch her during
the day. She would scratch herself when
ever she had the chance, until her clothes
Would Be Covered with Blood.
We had a great many doctors to see her,
out they did not help her in the least. 1t
was terrible task to care for her. When
we took her away from home, people
would ask, How did that child burn her
FACET She was completely covered with
scabs for long time. She suffered every
thing. At last we concluded to try Hoods
Sarsaparilla, because / had great faith in
it, and after awhile we could see that she
was getting better. People said she would
certainly be left with scars on her face,
but she was not. 1t is now a year since
she was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
her face is as
Smooth and White and Soft
as that of any child. / believe Hoods
Sarsaparilla to be the best family medi-
cine that can be obtained / take it my
self for headache and that tired feeling,
and have found nothing to equal it, One
popularity about Hoods Sarsaparilla is
that it is pleasant to take and it is no
trouble to induce children to take it. The
doctors pronounced my little girls disease
to be eczema, or salt rheum." Mrs.

The Vermont Academy base ball team
played the last game of its Eastern trip
with the Phillips Exeter team last Satur-
day and was defeated by a score of s to 0.
The Vermont Academy boys made costly
errors in the first three innings, which en-
abled their opponents, with the aid of eX-
cellent playing on their part, TO score
eight runs. The Vermont Academy boys
were unable to hit Carter, Exeters star
pitcher, safely. Whittemore made two
seemingly safe hits, but by the phenOm-
email fielding of Gibbons and Smith they
were both caught. O'Bren batted well
for Vermont Academy. The work of
Coffin in the box was excellent, and had
he had proper support the score might
have been different. Wiley covered third
base for Vermont Academy in fine shape.
He is a star third baseman and it is well
worth the price of admission to see him
play. Score by innings.

INTEREST THR BOYS.

DO you want to make farmers OF
your boysG" says the Crowley IN n.
Signal. IF so, talk about farm mat
ters to them. Give them your expert
ence in cultivating and raising differ
ent kinds of crops. Explain your
methods to them; arouse their interest
in doing all kinds of work cheerfulIy
and thoroughly. Point out your errors
whereby you might have failed in
making as good crop as you should
have done Teach them practical ideas
of economy in saving manures and ap-
plying them to the soil, in mending the
harness and keeping it under shelter,
as well as taking proper care Of farm
ing implements and machinery. One
reason for there being 30 many slip
shod farmers is the want of proper
training and good example. Too many
boys and young men are abandoning
the farms for town and city life, where,
instead Of bettering their condition,
they often contract idle and vicious
hasits that lead them to worthlessness
and moral ruin. Make home and farm
life attractive to your sons, because it
ia the happiest and most independent
occuDation in the world"

HIS BARN GREW.

J. W. Fesler, of Morgantown, Ind,
has barn which threatens to develop
into a ''sky scraper," says Home and
Farm. In 1891, having need of a new
barn, he built small structure, and in
it's construction he used green willow
posts at the corners and along the sides.
These he sank into the ground in the
usual manner. For some time nothing
unusual was noticed, but after year
he saw that, whereas, he laid the floor
near the ground, it was above the soil.
He discovered that the willow posts,
instead of being dead, were alive, and
had taken root and were growing. In
their upward movement they car.
ried the barn along. Last spring
the barn was ON stills nire feet high,
and he put in a new floor and sur
rounded the posts with siding, there
by making it two story affair. There
is now a space of seven inches between
the new floor and the ground, and Mr..
Fesler expects to have a three-story
barn IN the course of time.

MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE.

There is nothing that is acting go
steadily and so powerfully to drive our
youth from the country to the city as
the inattention paid by a majority of
our farmers to those little home COM
forts and enjoyments which, while
costing but trit1e, would invest the
country with charm which all the
glaring Vaccinations of life in the city
could not break. The study of agricul-
ture as science, a knowledge of the
nature Of the soils, and the adaptation
of the various fruits and flowers and
field crops to the different qualities OF
soil appeal sufficiently strong to the in.
tellectual nature, but in the arrange
ments that surround our country places
but little attention is paid to the idea

COUNTRY LIFz AND CHARACTER

DIR. J. B KiIlebrew in the Southern
States Farm Magazine of Baltimore,
for December Gays:
1t cannot be denied that country life
tends to strengthen character and to
make men. It is not education, it is
not knowledge, it is not brilliancy of
intellect that makes the man of mark
and influence, but it is solidity Of char
acter, strength of purpose, courage Of
conviction, resolution to do what is
right and to shun what is evil. The
young man who has been trained prop
erly in his country home, and whose
character has been shaped by the prsc
tice of industry, frugality and moral
ity, and whose notions Of right have
been uninf1uenced by policy, is better
prepared for lite's duties than he pos
sibly could be If raised up surrounded
by every pleasure and gratified in every
desire Selfdenial Is g powerful factor
In the battle Of life; and, like all other
qualities, it must be cultivated. The
less the temptation liz early life the
more surely will the average man be
able TO steer free from groveling vices
that first weaken and then debase the
moral sensibilitieq.

From your 90 COWS the quantity of ex-

PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT IN
RAISING BIG CORN.

The Illinois State Board of Agricul-
ture offered first prize of 500 cash
and a set of valuable scales for the
largest yield Cf corn from one acre, the
premium to be awarded at the late
State Fair.
Such tests are interesting as showing
what may be done with the corn crop
in the wsy of increasing the yield, but
their practical value is diminished un
less it is provided that the contestants
shall confine their operations to such
methods as may be applied to practical
field work on large scale. This was
not done by all the contestants in the
late trial Some of them followed
methods that it would be impossible
to apply to field work, while others
conducted the whole work in way
that might be applied to the largest
operations.
e 8 Fureman, of Woodford county,
produced 100 bushels on an acre, and
his story of how it was done follows:
81 planted the corn and made the
trial of what could be done in corn cul-
ture for lesson to myself and to try
to advance the interest in agriculture.
The land was common prairie soil, well
titled. 1t was seeded to clover in 1894,
and laid in pasture during 1895. receiv-
ing while in pasture good top dress
ing of stable manure. It was in corn
in 1896, and yielded a very fine crop.

his prize acre was but one of several of
the same kind.

The first premium was awarded to
O. 7. Wordsworth, of Ogle county for q
yield Of 168 bushels on one acre. How
this great yield was produced Mr..
Wadsworth tells as follows:
Il had an old millpond to begin on,
and this is the richest land in the
world. plowed the ground with q
walking plow, then took the disc har-
row and went over the ground seven
times. Then l took aspring tooth har-
row and made it as smooth as garden,
and May 18 planted it with a two
horse planter, driving with my foot. I
dropped two and three kernels about
eighteen inches apart. and then went
back over the rows and planted it
again. When the corn came up hoed
it, for it was 80 narrow a horse could
not get through. The supervisor meas
ured the land, saw the corn picked and
weighed it,"
Mr.. WadswOrth won the first pre-
MUM fairly, but his land was exCep-
tiOnally rich in plant food, and his
method would hardly succeed in praC-
tical corn growing.

may be studied with profi5. Farmers
