STOCK.

To fatten an old COW, put her in the
stable. soil her and push her with grain
for all there is in it. grinding the grain
and mixing it with green chop and oil
cake. On pasture the success will be
less and the expense greater.
To let the hogs follow the cattle is a
filthy way of saving feed. Better grind
the grain and feed judiciously; then
what will be digested will be better for
the cattle, and far healthier, cleaner and
better for the hogs.
1t is not often that pigs allowed to
make their beds in the straw pile do as
we'll as if given more ventilated shell
ter. The bed is so warm that when
they do come out they get 80 thoroughly
chilled that their food does them very
little good.
1t is doubted if there is any feed grown
which can compare in economy with
good silage. Even the same corn, if
shocked, husked, cribbed. the fodder
stacked and afterward run through the
cutter and the corn ground. would not
make as good feed, and would cost very

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER"

Considerable interest has been awak-
ened throughout the country by the
announcement of the death of Mre.
Amelia Koehler, of Mount Vernon, New
York, at the age of go years, owing to
the fact that she is supposed to have in
spired Thomas Moore's famous poem.
1.-THE Last Rose of Summer"
When she was thirteen years old she
was sent to London, and there she at
tended school kept by sister of the
poet, who frequently visited the school
and became acquainted with the pupils.
Moore took decided liking to her. and
would spend hours in conversing with
her.
One day, as they we're sitting in the
garden, she plucked rose, and placing
it on the lapel of the poets waistcoat,
exclaimed, "Oh, now have given you
the last rose of summer" And, as the
story runs. this very rose was in fact the
last rose left blooming in the garden.
my child" said the poet. "you have
made beautiful suggestion. and when
have written some verses on it they
shall be dedicated to you."
A short time after the incident, Moore
wrote the famous lines, and dedicated
them to Amelia" that being the fret
name OF the woman who has Just passed
| away.
Mrs. Koehler's maiden name was
Amelia Offergeld, and she was born in
Aix-la-Chapelle. Her father was an
officer in the Prussian army, and her
mother was of British descent. She was
fifteen years old when she married
Charles Koehler. an importer of Bond
Street. London. When he died, forty
years ago, she came to live with her
daughter in this country, and remained
here until her death.
She was at Queen Victoria's wedding,
and one OF her treasures was piece of
cake, protected by glass case. which
she said was part Of the Queens we'd
ding cake, and which had been given to
her by Lady Blakely, one Of the maids
of honor. On the occasion of the golden
jubilee of the Queen, ten years ago
Mrs. Koehler, it is said, said. sent the
cake in box to Victoria. The Queen,
in returning it, so the story runs. wrote
"a brief autograph letter."

HORTICULTURE.

Peaches may be grown in many places
where they now are not if sheltered on
the north and east from cold winds by
hedges, buildings or high fences Let
the roots be mulched we'll, to prevent
the warmth of the sun in early spring
from starting them too soon and sub
jecting the buds to the probability of
being killed by later frosts. A full crop
is desired more than extreme earlinese.
The garden spot should be plowed
this fall and given dressing of well
rotted manure. II an orchard is to be
set out, it is good plan to subsoil the
land now, for nothing will put it in bet
ter shape.
The end of the forests of this country
certainly in sight. There are no more
Unsuitable agents contributing to their
depletion than the railways. Before a
wheel can turn tree must die. Every
railway in the United States represents
the death of forest, the extent of which
is not apparent on first thought.
A forest of 800 trees would probably
furnish ties for one mile Of railway. and
at this rate the railways of the United
States would require 10000 600 forest
trees of the most valuable timber for
ties only. and at least 10 per cent of this
must be annually renewed.
The farmer considers the robin one Of
his greatest pests. BY actual test this
bird daily consumes lao per cent. of its
own weight in insects. Such an indie
fatigable insect destroyer surely should
be welcome to the little fruit he pliers
for dessert, il he wants it.
When insects of all kinds are 30 plen
tiful, then let the birds also be plentiful.
The latter increase far less proljfically
than do the worms and insects, and there
is no danger OF the country becoming
overcrowded with birds.
Trees want feeding as we'll as do pigs
or cattle. TO produce growth or fruit; it
is mistake to try to raise crops year
after year from an orchard without re.
turning anything to the soil; and horses
and cattle are likely to overdo the job if
you leave the trimming to them.
1t is mistake not to trim and shape
thu trees when young. and thus avoid
the necessity of removing large branches
when the trees are grown, which means
but multiplication aud injury; and it is
equally wrong to let too much fruit ma
ture GA young trees. or on any trees, for
that matter.

POULTRY.

Put the poultry house on a little
mound of earth or on hillside. and it
will be easily kept dry.
Preserve the fallen leaves for the
scratch pen in the winter; they can
afterward go to the compost heap, to-
gether with the chicken manure.
Costly poultry houses are not neces.
sarily part of the poultry business.
More profit can be had from the use OF
cheaper structures, and the hens will be
just as happy and just as busy in them.
The enterprising poultryman knows
at this time just how many pullets he
has, how many old hens he will keep
over, how much room he needs, and
what his prospects are.
1t may be we'll to SOW half pound OF
rape in order to have plenty of greens
for the chickens during the fall, the
winter and early spring. 1t will answer
to SOW it broadcast.
A pond or stream is not necessary for
geese, but the fact remains that if there
is water. with it's accompanying vege.
tation, they will procure large part Of
their sustenance therefrom.
lnfertile eggs have superior keeping
qualities. and allowing the cocks to run
with the hens during the winter has
nothing to do with early laying.
Sell off every cock which has no
special value, for they are of no use to
you now under the sun. More than
enough male company in the poultry
yard is nuisance at any time.
BY all means save all the partly filled
cabbage heads for the poultry during
the winter; they have need of such
bulky food, and cabbage leaves fill the
bill

DAIRY.

The dairy COW needs more care than
any other animal on the farm, and she
must have it or she will fail to pay a
profit.
The reputation of the maker of butter
and cheese goes with and in certain
sense is a part of the product. This
makes dairying an interesting branch of
agriculture. This individuality does
not attach to most farm products.
1t is poor policy to turn COWS out TO
rough it as soon as they are turned dry
for a month or two in winter or early
spring. That is the time they demand
a good and regular ration. A COW is
not going ito do her best at the pail
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-10-23

when calving time finds her run down in
condition.
Much is due to the management Of
the milk and cream as regards the color
and the texture of butter; but.even when
these and the quality are all right, if it
is sent to market in an unattractive form
it will sell at lower price in conse-
quence.
The amount OF water contained in even
the best grades of butter varies greatly:
many tests show as much as 20 per cent
of the whole weight: Is per cent. is the
utmost which should be allowed, and il
there is more than this you can not hope
to keep up reputation for gilt edged
product, nor to retain the best of Gus
toners.
The separator is based upon the prin.
ciple of economy of labor and economy
OF material. 1t lifts the drudgery from
the shoulders of the women folks, and
it solves the problem of the transporta-
ton of the milk. The skinned milk is
left in the best possible shape for
feeding to the calves and other young
stock. They are not cheap, but their
advantages make them worth their
cost

GOOD-BY.
BY CONSIDER B. CARTER.

Come, let us say good-by;
For those who sail upon an unknown sea
May strive to make the port without
avail
Portentious clouds still veil futurity,
And signals of distress hang on each
sail
That say to us ''good-by.''
Come, let us say good-by;
For those we love are passing day by day;
Our kindliest and best fade to the
tomb:
Children have hushed their song and left
their play
And silence broods within the broken
home
Where all have said 'good-by."
Come, let us say good-by;
Our dearest friends have fallen by our
side,-
Those full of hope in manhood's buoyant
years;
The matron in her prime-the cherished
bride
We saw them pass with unavailing tears
The while they said "good-by."
Come, let us say good-by;
For age with halting step draws on apace;
The dim perspective points where we
must rest,
Pathetic is life's bound of time and place,
How lowly pillowed lies the head at
last
When all have said ''good-by"
But when we say good-by
o. Son of Man, be thou our guide and
stayl
Our Father, still thy childc-n Of day
Would have His faith and hope and right
eousness,
And enter through the gates with joyful
ness
Where none shall say ''good-by."

story;

PATIENT ALL DAY.

Give me joy, give me Joy, o my friends;
For once in my life has day
Passed over my head and out of my sight,
And my soul has naught to unsay.
No querulous word to the fair little child
Who drew me from study to play;
No fretful reply to the hundred and one
Who questioned me, gravely and gay;
No word to the beggar 1 fain would take
back,
No word to the debtor at bay;
No angry retorts to those who misjudge,
And desire not nay, but a yea;
No word, Though know remember them
all,
Which l would, if could e'er unsay.
Give me joy, give me joy, o my friends,
For the patience that lasted all day.

MISS CYRILLA'S NEIGHBOR.
BY SOPHIE SWEET.

TNIVE Chinese laundries already
i at Jerico junction! After a
weeks effort to compete with them,
Sam Lee packed up his soda and
starch and fat-irons, and went by
the first trip of the new railroad to
North Jericho. Mary Olive Perkins,
leaning over the gate in the Septem-
Der twilight, first heard the news
from Mrs. Abel Treat, who was
going, with her shawl over her head,
to see if Pa had gone to sleep and
was oblivious of the fact that it was
time to close the store.
"Have you heard who has hired
Lemuel's old place." asked Mrs.
Treat, breathlessly, with nod to-
ward the red cottage, whose small
old-fashioned garden adjoined Mary
Olives aunt's large old fashioned
one, "A Chinee! a real, yellow
faced, pigtailed Chinaman! l saw
him aboard the cars, and, thinks l,
the heather in his blindness bows
down to wood and stone / was
beat when he got off at North Jericho
and heard he'd hired the Lemuel
Treat place to set up laundry!
Right next to your Aunt Cyrilla, of
all things! l should most think
she'd move away"
Aunt Cyrilla is particular" said
Mary Olive; and she heaved little
sigh. Some people thought that if
Miss Cyrilla had not been so partic-
ular-that is, 80 suspicious and SO
severe - little JEFF, Mary Olives
brother, would never have run away
to sea- "But l don't think she
would feel that she could move away
from the old homestead. l don't
know what she will do"
"Oh, we'll, maybe he isn't the kind
that worships idols" said Mrs.
Treat, consolingly. "Down at the
junction they've got some of 'em to
Sunday school. wonder if it's true
that they eat cats and dogs. guess
your Aunt Cyrilla had better keep
her old Fanny shut upl"

dusk, and in the road appeared Miss

the next morning Sunday there
hung shades, stifflY starched and
spotlessly white, in the windows of
the red cottage. Sam Lee had come
like thief in the night.
Miss Cyrilla, pausing on her way
to church, read the sign in a tangle
of decayed hop-vines over the front
door,
"Sam Leei One of che Lees from

does it meant A laundryi Not a

The man who keeps pace with his
coworkers in agricultural matters is
the man who reaches prosperity in easy
stages. and who enjoys genuine salts
faction in every day life. An average of
even half an hour day with his agri-
cultural newspapers would brighten
any farmers mind in way he hardly
suspects, il he has nevsr tried it.
Much more depends upon a proper
rotation of crops throughout series of
years than many people believe. Corn,
small grain. root crops, pastures and
forage crops give the live stock farmer
the opportunity of his life.
Adversely and necessity will solve
problems which prosperity never can
do. When it is absolutely necessary to
raise farm products at less cost than
usual there will be many farmers found
who can and will do it,
Most farmers can economic in the
cost of seed and hired labor. II less
land is used, and better cultivated, the
cost will be much reduced, and very
often the yield will be as large and the
quality of the products superior. 1t is
along the line OF intensive farming that
this reduction of cost can easily be
solved.
Subsoiling is peculiarly adapted to
fall work. when the ground is apt to be
dry. 1t is never the right thing to SUBJ
soil land when it is wet down where the
subsoiler works. The ground would be
left in puddled condition and woree
off than il it had been left untouched.
Nitrogen is too expensive to buy in
the shape of commercial fertilizer, and
yet no element need cost farmer less.
Four fifths of the air about US is nitro
gen, and the leguminous crops gather it
for US, to be plowed under and given. to
the soil.
1t takes skill to hold pillow so that it
will turn furrow of even width and
depth smoothly and handsomely, and it
requires even more skill to attach the
team to the pillow properly and to select
the right kind of pillow for the under

take in fixing the line Of draught makes
poor work. and hard work for both man

trade. With these methods for reduc
ing our surplus, we should before long
expect permanent improvement in
prices.
The cheapness of late corn crops
would almost certainly lead to increased
and wastefu feeding. Last year, in the
West. a ton Of coal was worth two tons
of corn, and School Boards ordered
corn instead of coal for fuel. Let LIE

GREECE AND CRETE

Matters in Europe grow more serious
daily. almost hourly and war is far
from being a remote possibility, says
The Standard. Greece maintains her
brave stand and refuses to abandon
her Christian kinsmen in Crete, de-
spite the collective and identical notes
of the powers calling upon her to do
so.
The question now is, what are they
going to do about it
Greece knows that she is right, and
has the popular sentiment Of major
ity at least, Of the European people
with her in her effort to rescue the
Cretans from the hated yoke Of an
alien race. and is evidently conscious
that none of the great powers will
dare fire the first shot at her, for that
shot would set all Europe afame.
The attitude Of Russia in this emer-
gency has seemed strange to many,
who. believing her naturally friendly
10 the Greeks-who are co-reiigionists
OF her own people-and hostile to the
Turks, the natural and hereditary en-
emies Of the Muscovite, looked to see
her take advantage of the opportunity
