TIE Princess Charlotte Spent Many Happy

Queen Julie never joined her hus-

William Perrine in Tho Ladies' Home

IN his exile. She arrived at Philadel.

manded by Captain Mickle The ships
wharf was covered with a crowd anx.
lous to see her. Only 10 years old, of
highly animated temperament and de-
lighted at the ending of the 40 davs'
voyage, the young girl was in an ecstasy
OF pleasure. She waved her fur bonnet
at the persons on the wharf with such
careless delight that it fell from her
hands over the ships rail and into the
river In her transport of enthusiasm
she snatched Captain Micklos hat from
his head, gayly placed it on her own
and saluted her admirers anew.
Joseph was highly pleased with
Charlotte, whom he had not seen since
she was ID, and tried to give her az
much compensation as he could for tho
pleasures of the continental life she had
Lett behind. He took her to Long Branch

that her chief taste was for painting.

The West Virginia Farm Review be-
lieyes in small areas with high cultiva-
ton as cure for the sad but universal
evils of heavy taxation, heavier mort
cages and absence of general agricul-
tural prosperity. Its attitude is strong
~ presented in the following language:
Far too many men are owning more
land than they can cultivate-part of
it absolutely growing up in weeds.
This same land, if cleared up and Gull
tivated, would be sufficient for one
man with a family to subsist on and
have money to lay by. Mo man ought
to keep more land than he can keep
under the highest and best cultivation,
and when this is done prosperity is
certain and sure. 1t is very common
for man in this state to be land poor.
Some have grown old by worrying and
tolllng to pay taxes on large tracts of
land, when if they had sold or given
away probably two-thirds of their land
years ago, they would now be healthy,
wealthy and wise Suppose one of these
men had cut his farm into so, 80 or 100
acre lots, and sold them to men who
would have put them under high
cultivation. Can any man estimate
the difference in value they would
be to all concerned? | am in IA
vor of small farms, for only
few men know how to cultivate a
large one to advantage. One hundred
acres is as much as one man should I'M
dertake to cultivate thoroughly. We
keep our vegetable gardens in the best
possible cultivation; then can any man
give good reason why every foot Gull
tiyated for other crops should not be
cared for just the same2 Ii this pays
in one instance it will pay in all. If
farmers would sell off every acre of
land which they own beycad that
which they are able to cultivate, mort
cages would go glimmering into the
mists, and taxes would be paid as soon
as the books are opened.-Cotton

Sheep are the epicures among fern
animals. The hog will eat corn in Nth,

ing in clean yards. No farm animal
has such strong likes and dislikes, and
we must cater to its tastes If we expect
it to do its best for u.s.
The sheep will not touch hay that
other stock have nosed over. They
must eat at the first table or not all
We throw the refuse from the sheep

less to throw the stubs left in the cat.
tie managers to the sheep. SO with
corn and oats; they like them none
the better if the rats have played over,
or the sparrows roasted above the feed
bins. The best corn shelters have fan
attachment which blows out all dust
and loose particles of husk Hereafter
our corn will be shelled by horse power
and then passed through the tanning
mill.
Sheep dislike to have their hay-raelSs
used for hen roosts. In these days of
pure food laws, one of the children
should be appointed a special deputy to
see that such trangressors are prompt
ly put in the chicken house. Mud is
another of sleeps dislikes. Had they
their chico, they would take lady-like
care of their golden slippers. | saw a
flock stand half an hour this morning
studying whether or not to cross
muddy road.
In November we had cistern built
to supply the main sheep with water.
The water has yet such strong taste
of cement that nothing will drink it, SO
the sheep must be let out to drink.
These muddy days it is no uncommon
sight to see a whole flock of sheep
crowded on the stone walk that leads
to the barn. Soon we hope to house
our sheep during the entire fattening
period, as they will fatten better when
they are confined. When sheep must
be fed out of doors, few loads of coal
ashes, that make the back yard IN.
slightly, should be thrown on each side
of the feeding troughs. No one since
the days of Job can start down line of
troughs with mud ankle deep and a
flock of hungry sheep at his heels and
not lose his patience.
Sheep like pure water, several de-
grees warmer than they find it in the
brook These are reasons that they
hunt the springs and close up to where
it bubbles out; or cross the run to drink
in the barn, where pure water is pro-
vided and warmed several degrees by
passing through the underground
pipes. These may be considered the
nieeties of sheep husbandry. You can
not say to the Sheep Eat what is set
before you, asking no questions. They
want clean service, pure food and pure
drink, with clover blossoms for dessert.
1t pays to give them what they want

HERE AND THERE.

"A hog fed at fair profit until it
reaches 200 pounds will be fed at loss
soon after passing that point, and if
fed to $50 or 400 pounds all profit will
be destroyed.
Give the hogs as good care as any
other stock. Do not go on the theory
that anything is good enough for hog.
Anything which comes handy for a
feed will never bring the hogs to
profitable market
Never let your cows be moving
manure piles; they do not look pretty;
and some neighbor might call you a
thoughtless, lazy farmer, and that
would not be nice. Moreover, they
might tell of it, and that would make
you ashamed.
The amount of milk a COW will give
in day or week, is not decisive of
her merit; it is the quantity she will
give in a year. Some cows demand a
long rest spell, while others do not.
Persistency is a cows most valuable
characteristic.
During the summer, while eggs are
abundant, why not put up few dozens
in lime water for hard times?7 In this
connection we will call attention to the
article on keeping eggs in this issue.
Moderate abundance all the time is bet
ter than a feast followed by an egg
famine.
A horse is really none the better
for being sleek fat. In fact the fat
may be hurriedly applied and may con-
ceal blcmishes that would appear if the
horse was in good condition for actual
service. And yet a fat horse will sell
better on any market for the simple
reason that he is fat.
As the weather becomes warmer,
slack up on feeding corn. One feed of
whole corn at night is all any fowl
ought to nave unless fattening for mar
lxet or the table. For growing chicks
or laying hens, wheat bran and oats,
sorghum seed. with plenty of green
vegetable matter, are the foods We

LOSS CAUSED BY RATS.
In Some Parts of the Country II Has
Been Enormous During the
Winter just Passed.

An unusual interest has been aroused
in the destruction of rats the past sea-
Don, because of the great number found
In corncribs and the vicinity of poultry
houses. The loss from this source has
been considerable, to say nothing of the
annoyance. If trouble in corncribs is
to be avoided next year, set the build
ings on posts IS inches high and around
the top tack strip of old tin or invert
a tin pan and place it over the top of
the post. This will not always keen
them out, but will do much towards pre.
venting their entrance.
Where cribs are on the ground and
have been undermined by these nests
a number of methods of getting rid of
them, more or less successful. have
been suggested. If well-trained for
fet and good rat dog can be secured
great numbers can be killed in short
time. The ferret will go into the holes
undeS the crib and run out the rats
which can thus be disposed of by means
OF the dog or guns. After the rats bava
been well cleaned out by this means
they seldom return, or at least not for
a long time. In closed bins. where oar
bon bisulphide can be used, they can be
got rid of in a short time. Merely nlace
