The coIored Deacon's Figurative Prayer.
A white minister, after conducting
services at colored church, asked an
old deacon to lead in prayer. The broth
or in black offered feryent appeal for
the white brother and said: "OLord,
glib him de eye oh de eagle Diet he spy
out sin affair off. Put his hands to de
gospel plow. Tie his tongue to de line
Db truth. Nail his ear to de gospel pole.
Bow his head way down between his
knees and his knees way down in some

prayer is much wanted to be made.

Fodder Corn For the Lambs.


We cannot commend too strongly to
live stock breeders the planting Of for
age crops. II in the fall and early win
ter one has not plenty of clover to feed
breeding ewes. the best substitute is a
mixture of oats and field peas unthrash-
ed. They bring OH the winter lamb to
perfection both before and after its
birth. The peas supply nitrogen, which
is the strong component of clover itself
An excellent way, perhaps the best way,
to mix the peas and oats is to sow them
together in the field, two bushels of
oats and one bushel of peas to an acre
Cut and cure like hay.
Lambs very soon learn to eat. When
you are hurryiug them ON for market,
give them so soon as they begin to eat
in addition to their mothers milk Il
mixture CT cornmeal, oats and bran
Put it in creep where the grown sheep
cannot disturb it, but where the lambs
can get it whenever they choose. 1t will
bring them on amazingly
A good grain food for brood mare
with colt is a mixture of two-thirds
wheat bran and one-third ground cats
Add two tabIespoonfuls of linseed meal
a day if the animal is constipated Tin
othy hay goes with the above grain diet
If the mare is wanted for work. give
her in addition little corn.
Hungarian grass makes an excellent
food for horses and cattle. Sheep are
also fond of it. Hungarian grass hay
may be sown early in June. It's nutri
tive value is higher than that of tim
othy, but not equal to clover Cut this
grass and cure it as soon as the first
brown begins to show upon the heads
This is imp0rtaSt.
The most nutritious coarse food for
hexses is clover. It is, however, very
bulky and horse's stomach is compar-
atively small. The horse fed on clover
hay must therefore have liberal supply
of oats to balance the ration, and give
him enough TO eat. With timothy hay
wheat bran makes good ration mixed
with the oats.
Here is DR.. G. D. Smead's prescrip-
ton for worms in colt: Go to the
druggist and have him put up for you
the following: Tartar emetic one-half
ounce, granulated sugar three ounces;
mix, divide into six powders. Give one
in a feed of wheat bran every morning
for six mornings an hour before any
other food is given. After the last
powder, before any food is given, give
as a dEenoh one-fourth ounce Of Barba-
dos aloea and teaspQonfpl Of ginger,

DESCENDANTS OF PILGRIMS.
Sir Walter Besant Figures That There
Are 10000 In America.

Sir Walter Besant Figures That There
Are 10000 In America.
Many people in America claim descent
from the pilgrim fathers. There might
be very considerable number, if we
come to think of it. For instance, let
us assume the number of married peO-
pie among the first hundred who sur
vived the first winter as 90 couples. We
will allow them three children apiece.
We will give to each of these children
two-a large allowance, it is true. Then
we have for each married couple, for
the first generation, descendants; for
the second, 6; for the third, IL; for the
fourth, "a; for the fifth, 48; for the
sixth, 90; for the seventh. 1872; for the
eighth, 1884; for the ninth and the pres
emit generation. 1853, and for the orig
inal 90 married couples, 1880. So
that the living descendants of the May
flower pilgrims can hardly be more than
about 10, 900. Out of these great many
have probably clean forgotten their de-
scent. Probably there are not anything
like 10000.
If / were an American, ! should GER
tainly like to be one of that 10000.
Not that feel the least attraction to q
narrow and fanatic religion, but be-
cause the pilgrim fathers made SO fierce
a fight for existence and place where
they could think as they pleased and
allow no one else to think as he might
please. Ancestry, in this country at
least, is chiefly a matter of selection.
The people who keep up their geneal-
ogies drop out as they go along num-
berless branches People who wish to
recover their genealogies have got to
"hitch on" at one of the dropped
branches Every marriage in geneal-
ogy is kind of junction, where many
lines may meet. Now, the business of
the genealogist is to look up all the juno
tions, to follow up each one and to
choose the line which offers the most
desirable alliances. Some years ago an
ingenious gentleman offered to find roy
al descent for any one for e70 down.
He did it, too, quite honestly. He said
that if you could only get back 100
years or so it was perfectly easy to con-
meet with Edward or Edward Ill.,

ARTlCHOKEs.

Good Not Only For Hogs, but For Horses
and Cattle.
Periodically the uLject of artiehokes
for hogs comes up, with many varying
opinions as to their utility. 1t is certain
that in the west and south they are a
valuable food. They furnish both feed
and roofing exercise for hogs and so
keep the animals in health
Some declare that " hen once the arti-
chokes get start it is as hard to rid
the ground of them as if they were bur-
docks or yellow dock Why should one
want to be rid of them SO long as hogs
thrive SO well ON them? One excellent

Keepin- a Record.

Many new seeds are planted each
year, the relative value of which, COM
pared with the old, is unknown to the
farmer, because no record is kept of
them. For this reason the New England
Homestead suggests marking the rows
where the new seed is planted in way
to outlast the effects of storm, sun and
air. A thin strip of board is provided
with a piece Of enamel cloth that comes
up over the top from the back and COW
ers down over the record concerning the
seed and its treatment as regards fer
tilizer, culture, etc. Such records thus
made permanent to the end of the sea-
son, are of great value in progressive
farming. At the end of the tests these
records should be carefully arranged and
entered in book. This should be SO in
dexed and tabulated that all the infor-
nation it contains is made easily avail
able.

Low browed woman that stole my love,
Fairer than l. less true,
You fooled him first with your willy tongue
And your eyes deceitful blue
You looked in his till you made him swear
His first love was all a dream,
While you let him toy with your yellow hair
And bask in your smiles false CLEAN.

Weeping has made mine dim.
You would smile on, though he lay in his
grave
could have died for him.

A Kew Idea.

"Grant that nursery trees are cheaper
and better than home grown, are they
always true to name? What greater
misfortune than to plant and give ten
years care to tree, only to find its
fruit different from what you intended?
Why not send the nurseryman scions of
what you want and know what you are
planting? Let him send you the trees,
grown from your own varieties If they
cost more, they will be cheaper in the
end. - This idea of Rural New Yorker
correspondent deserves consideration.
