Beecher,s Love Poem.

1t was related by Mrs. Beecher that
during their courtship Mr.. Beecher once
dropped into poetry and wrote a few
lines of verse teeming with affection for
his sweetheart. But the verses were al
ways kept sacred by Mrs. Beecher, and
nothing could win them from her.
One day Mr.. and Mrs. Beecher were
in the office of Robert Bonner, the pub
Usher.
"Why don't you write a poem, Beech
er?' said Mr. Bonner
"He did once," said Mrs. Beecher.
"Recite it for me, won't you, Mrs.
Beecher?"
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she knew
that he meant silence
Come said Mr.. Bonner, "I'll give
you So, 900 if you will recite that poem
to me-" addressing Mrs. Beecher.
"Why, it RAM quickly said Mrs.
Beecher
'Eunice," simply said Mr.. Beecher.
And although Robert Bonner offered
to double the sum first offered he never
got the poem from Mrs. Beecher. 1t had
been hidden away ever since by Mrs.
Beecher and cherished as one of the
dearest treasures her husband left her.
Who knows? Perhaps these youthful
heart throbs of the great preacher may
be given to the world now that his
widow has passed into the silent land

She Was Powerful Strong.

He was ordinarily a very good little
boy, but he had been i'll and been allowed
his own way more than small boy
should, and the consequences were not
agreeable. The time had come when he
must again occupy his usual place in
the family as an obedient small boy,
but he did not know it. So when mann
ma remarked that Harold must do thu,
and so the answer came back that Har-
old's intentions were different, and he
wasn't afraid, for his mamma couldn't
hurt him. Then mamma rose up in stern
dignity, ano together she and Harold
went to the upper regions of the house.
There the small boy had occasion to
change his mind, as may be inferred
from the conclusion of his evening prayer
that night. He had come to the "PleGse
take care of papa and mamma" and

Tipsy Bumb1ebees.

Mr.. T. L. Williams, in note in The
Journal of Botany, points out certain
facts about bumblebees which will be of
interest to some humans. He says that
these insects often get drunk. Their in
toxicating tipple is the honey produced
by the crowded flowers Of the capitulate
heads of certain composite and dipsa,
setB. When the stage of intoxication is
reached, it is indicated by rolling on the
back, striking the legs wildly in the air
and general helplessness.
The bees rapidly recovered from the
effects and in most cases were eager to
repeat the debauch. But one individual
which had been shut up in vasculum
with copious supplies of centaurea sea-
biosa manifested the next morning a
praiseworthy remorse and disgust, rails
ing it's head and fore legs as high as it
could above the plants, then hurrying
away as soon as released. The most dis
so1ute species is the neuter Of bombus
lapiderius. The remorse probably indi-
Gates the presence Of the headache,
which in tie highest animal of all is SO
provocative of good resolutions.

1t is only natural TO expect that a
farmer who is progressive and eco
nomical in one department of his
work will be equally progressive In
another. Farmers who are raising
clover are the ones who arc most
likely to test the value OF SHREDDED
fodder. And well may they, for they
two work together with excellent re-
suits. On every farm there shold be
grown as many acres Of corn fodder
as clover. An average crop contains
21a tons per acres and an aveaage
crop of hay is = tons. Corn fodder
costs in the barn about $3.50 per ton
Glover hay about the same. A ton OF
a mixture of slower and clover hay
then costs $3.50. Timothy hay has
sold readily for some years at ten
dollars and upward. II a ton OF the
mixture is equal to a ton of timothy
hay for growing colts, cattle or sheep
the long neglected cornstalks be-
comes a valuable article. Expert
ments which we have not space TO
repeat have shown that one tone OF
the mixture will produce as much
growth on steers as one ton of timo-
thy hay. AS timothy sells for ten
dollars ton at onr barn then the
mixture is worth ten dollars ton
or four times as much as IL costs us at
the barn. But the fact is, timothy
is not worth that amount for feeding
steers, since we have as good feed
for growth that can can be produced
for half that timothy will sell for.
Corn slower then has so much value
that we cannot afford to feed timothy
hay and let the cornstalks waste.

One of the chief cause of scabby pc
tatOes is fungus of bacterial origin.
This fact seems tohave been abund-
antly demonstrated. Certain condi-
lions eff the soil and climate are favor
able to the development of the germs.
But if the germs of the disease upou
the seed are destroyed before plant
ng, by so much will the liability TO
scab in the new crop be reduced. This
may be done by soaking the cut tub
ers from l = to hours in from to 215
ounces of corrosive sublimate to Is
gallons of water. Not one potato
grower in 100 as yet uses this very
simple safeguard against potato scab.
1t will not absolutely insure against
scab, but in almost every case where
tests have been made under controll-
ed conditions, the result has been ex-
tremely favorable to this treat ~ emit.
We would by all means urge that it
be generally employed, since the CO st
and labor involved are very slig hit.

John Tyler changed his cabinet Of
ficers more frequently than any pres
ident before or after him. This was
due in part to the fact that he sue
ceeded TO the heads of departments
of his chief, who died in office, and
quarreled with them, and that he be-
came arrayed afterward against the
Wing party which elected him. He
had three SECRETARIES OF state, three
secretaries of treasury, four secreta-
ries of war, three attorney generals,
five secretaries of the navy and two
postmaster generals
His official family included five such
men as Daniel Webster, John O. CAL
houn, Thomas Ewing, John Bell nd
John j. Crittenden. TYLER tried sew
eral of his men in various positions,
a practice in which Mr.. Cleveland

both secretary of the treasury and of

OUR FARMERS.

The early maturity which the mar
ket now demands in all animals in
tended for meat making and which
the diffusion of well bred stock has
rendered possible, says an exchange
has produced results in the live stock
industry somewhat akin to those due
to the invention of farm machinery
and the opening up of immense areas
of cheap lands, as these results are
seen in crop production. With, say,
thirty million of cattle in the country
at any given time, exclusive of dairy
cows,i it make all the difference in the
world whether they are to be market
ed for slaughter at four or five years,
as was formerly the case, or at two
and half, or even younger, as is the
present custom. Practically 1T doub-
les the supply to have these cattle go
to market at an average Of two in
stead of four; it largely reduces the
amount of the investment, or at least
the time necessary to turn it, thus
making profit possible at lower
nimble sixpence as opposed to the
slow sixpence over again. 1t reduc-
es the time during which each animal
must be maintained, making a saving
in that direction, and under the we'll
known law of growth by virtue of
which gains are made in the young
animal at much less expenditure of
feed than in older ones, there is also
a saving at this point. Another effect
that it has is that it makes it more
difficult for old cattlemen to estimate
the number available for market and
the receipts at the stock yards are
always in danger of overrunning their
calculations. Shortages in supply
too, come more quickly and are more
quickly recovered from. This is es-
pecially noticeable in swine, which
can be replaced very rapidly when
there is shortage threatened Mir
ror and Farmer.
