Before the President visited the
South, sectionalism was dead.
1t received Il staggering blow
when war with Spain was declared
and volunteers from Dixie crowd
ed to the recruiting camps to en-
roll themselves under the flag.
1t weakened when Mckinley, who
fought on the Union side, appoint
cd eX-Confedcratcs Lee, Wheeler
and Butler to share in the command
of the armies organized against
a foreign foe. 1t went down when
Hobson, that daring son of the
South, scuttled the Mcrrimac be-
meath an iron hail from Spanish
forts. 1t pcrished when old Joe
Wheeler led his division up the
deadly slope of San Juan Hill.
In his visit to Atlanta and other
cities of the South, President Nc
Kinley has rolled stone above its
place of scpulturc. May time nor
any uphcaval come that shall ever
threaten a resurrection.
The President has stirred the
Southern heart by his gracious and
patriotic utteranccs rs 1t has not
been stirred in many years. When
he declared in his speech before
the Georgia Legislature that ''the
time has now come, in the cvolu-
ton of sentiment and feeling, un-
der the providence of God, when,
in the spirit of fraternity, the
North should share with the South
in the care of the graves of the

cord whose vibration may never
cease in the States that 81 years
ago cspoused secession.

FINE FEEDING RACK.
1t Is Light and Easily Moved, and Can
Consequently BE Used at All
Seasons of the Year.

A Missouri reader of the Breeders
Gazette sends to that paper the follow
ing letter and sketch:
| send you plan of a rack in which
feed corn fodder and ally and hay
to cattle. The rack is set in bluegrass
pasture, where cattle are being fed. I
do not full feed in winter, so in the fall
I bring my racks in and line them up
ON the southeast side of sheds, grove,
etc. then set posts all around them
about two and one-half or three feet
apart. 1 use fence rails, as they are
cheap and abundant and answer every
purpose. The posts ought not to extend
more than one and one-half or two feet
above the top of the trough on the side
where feed is put in from sled or low
wheeled wagon. My method of feeding
cattle is to buy light, well-bred young
animals in the fall and winter them
strong. About May, or when the grass
is good, move these same troughs back
to the summer feeding grounds and give
one good feed per day of broken snapped
corn. The object of this plan of winter
feeding is to keep the cattle themselves

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from q mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so poor that
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menscs. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham.s
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
ever was. have gained flesh and have
q good color. I am completely cured Of

When borers get into a tree there is
no other remedy than cutting them out
with a sharp knife, or killing them in
their burrows with stout wire. But
prevention is better than remedy, and
the injury from borers can easily be
prevented. To do so, wash the trunks
and larger branches with a mixture of
soft soap reduced to the consistency of
thick paint with solution of washing
soda. If just enough carbolic acid is
added to give strong smell it will be
ali the more repulsive to the beetles.
This should be applied during the early
part of June and again early in July,
when the beetles are most active in lay
ing their eggs.-Western Plowman.

Ruts and Mud Holes.

The only difficulty in the way of hav-
ing good dirt roads all the time is to
keep out the water. 1t is, first, the mar
row-tired wagons and then water that
makes ruts and mud holes. If broad
tired wagons were used and the water
not permitted to run along the roadway
or stand on the surface, there will be no
ruts or mud holes. How can these evils
be prevented? By having the road prop
erly drained and graded with a ma
chine, permitting only wide tires on
heavy wagons, then by constant work
and watch, every day in the year, rainy
days most of all, prevent the forming
of ruts and the beginning of mud holes.
Such means and method will make good
roads most of the time, and at mini
mum cost.--Rural World.

continued, Il used my sense of taste,

finger into the gallipot and then put his
finger in his mouth. "Taste it, gentle
men, taste it," said the professor, "and
exercise your perceptive faculties a-a.'
The gallipot was pushed toward the re-
luctant class. One by one the students
reluctantly dipped their fingers into the
connection, and, with many wry face,
sucked the abomination from their
fingers. Gentlemen, gentlemen, you're
asleep, y'know,'' said the professor. 81

The little children in the lonely marsh

But ever through the gloom hear them
calling;
A plaintive note that brings them no re-

Save the chill wind in the dead rushes

Save the swift swirl where naked willows
SILVER,
Of the unloosened waters of the river.
Heard We the children piping in the marsh
lands?
The little gypsy children in the marsh
lands?
a-glisten,
And the young moon leans from the west
to listen.
Hark to the springs In far brown dells
a-tinkle,
About whose edge the fringed ferns un-
crinkle!
Hark to the brooks that tumble down the
lodges,
TO Join the troubadours among the sedges
Heard We the children singing in the marsh
lands?
The troops Of happy children in the marsh
lands?
They have not called in vain, for swift to
y answer
She comes-shes here! Sweet Spring, the
necromancer!
She swings rope of blossoms just before
her
Blue skies, sun-brimming, hover smiling
Ger her
"A whir Of wings drops down the woodland
spaces,
And the moss wrinkles with arbutus faces
think 1t was the children Of the marsh
lands
The bonnie little brownies Of the marsh
gr lands
That called and called, with such per-
sistent clamor,
That brought them back, bluebird and vel
lowhammer!
That stirred the life-blood in the brown
trunks sleeping,
Till each bud thrilled. and every pulse was
leaping;
Till the leaf-laces wove their misty covers,
For tryst Of nesting birds, and happy
lovers.

EXCELLENT FEEDING RACK.

have tried penning the hogs, also
changing the cattle to another lot, but
found neither as satisfactory as this.
1 cut all my corn in shocks 16 hills
square, also make as much clover hay
as can, all of which is fed during win
ter, as above stated. Most of the fodder
is fed, corn and all, right from the field.
BY feeding this way all the time in
one place, I soon have great bed of
stalks and refuse, which keeps down all
mud and makes a fairly comfortable
bed for the steers. This also makes a
big manure pile, which even in this
country is good thing to have, espe-
cial]y if put on the stuble clover with a
spreader, as did last fall, lightly ma
nuring from this one source alone fully
rs acres.
This rack is light (three by twelve
feet), is easily moved, and thus is in
use nearly all the time, winter and sum-
mer. My steers wintered this way and
did well last winter.

Soft Food and Poultry.

The natural food of fowls is composed
of seeds, insects and grass. In the do
mestic condition we allow grain and
meat. Turkeys and chickens drink very
little water when feeding, and even
ducks and geese resort to water when
feeding in order to wash their bills
more than to drink. This brings up the
propriety of feeding soft food. It is
known that ground grain absorbs a
large volume of water, and when the
mixture is apparently dry quite large
proportion of water exists in it, though
more so when the mixture is very moist
and sloppy. 1t is not beneficial water,
as the results are sometimes injurious,
bowel disease and indigestion prevail
ing. 1t is better to feed all food dry
if possible, says a writer, and keep a
trough full of water where the fowls
can take what quantity they desire.
