LuvE PASSED 81.

As in a dream l saw her where she
stood,
Gods sunlight on her lips and IN her
face.
Her brown locks ripping thro' a maze
of lace,
And in her cheeks the mantling of
warm blood,
And all her ways instinct with
subtle grace.
T could not tell what skies were bent
above,
Nor what sweet incense fingered in
her train;
I only felt the burning palms of love
Laid on me, and the moaning Of dove
That f1uttered in my face, with sud-
den pain.
And she had passed as if no curse
were born
OF all the love-light sleeping in her
eyes.
The frowning day was ravished of its
IsOrn,
And onward crept from burning noon,
forlorn,
Westward, enshrouded by the sob
bling skies.

+" Over to Port"

To the visitor from the shore who
sees it's working Ton an English ship
for the first time, the rule of the star
board side-to give it n name-has an
odd appearance. One does not know
why everybody swarms over to port
when certain cap with gold on the
peak energies through a hatchway. 1t
may even be unpleasantly enforced.
Thus it CHANGED once to me to be a
guest in the gunroom mess of a ship
which came out for target practice.

both of US void of any intention Of
offense. on the sacred starboard side,
when a midshipman came up with a
message from the Captain, who was
on deck. though not on the quarter
deck, that we must confine ourselves
TO the port. There was q plentiful lack
of humor on the part Of that officer,
and no sufficiency of politeness; but
mules there must be, or else man-of
war would speedily become regular

G. ri. Fernold, of the Massachusetts
experiment station, recommends the
following, which is a good and sure
method: Make holes with a crowbar
or convenient stick from 6 inches to 1
foot deep and about Is inches apart,
over the hill or portion Of the lawn
infested by the ants, and into each
hole pour two or three teaspoonfulS
Of bisulphide of carbon, stamping the
dirt into the hole as soon as the liquid
Is poured into it. The bisulphide Of
carbon at once vaporizes, and, permeat-
ing the ground, destroys tie ants, but
does not injure the grass. One should
remember while using this substance
that it is highly inf1ammable and
should not bring near it fame or even
a lighted cigar.

these strains of this remarkable breed

Advantage of Small Farms.


Too much land is expensive If it is
not kept in good condition, as the taxes
thereon will be an expense which must
always be met. But few farms are
Well supplied with manure, and the re-
suit is that the land is not adequately
furnished with plant food. Nothing is
gained by spreading the manure nee
es:sary for five acres over ten times
that area, for the smaller the yield
the greater the expense of growing a
crop in proportion to receipts. The
largest yields are on small farms, and
the profits are greater because less Ia
Dor is required in hauling and harvest
ing the crops. The distance Of hauling
the manure to q field regulates the
number of loads, but the expense for
labor is the same for a few loads as
for many where THE handling of the
manure is an important matter. 1t is
in the concentrat ton of effort that the
expenses are lessened. If farmer can
secure eighty bushels of corn from one
acre he will make Il larger profit than
from forty bushels per acre, as he will
have only one acre ITO pillow and culti-
waite, and his land will become better
every year because of being well man
ured

Housekeeper's scrapbool

One of the most useful things the
housewife can have on hand is a good
sized blank book, in which to paste
the items she so often comes across in
the papers and magazines, referring to
the thousand and one things which are
always occurring in house; for in
stance, recipe for the removal of stains
and grease from carpets and table
linen; the renewing of gilt frames;
stain for furniture; recipes for sham
poo mixtures, shoe polishes, indelible
inks; what to do in case of burns, cuts
and other accidents. Such a collection
will be well worth the time put into IT.
Get in the habit of cutting out every
thing of that kind, when reading, and
put the clippings away in an envelope,
and when there is quite an accumula-
ton, paste them in. IT classified, they
are easier to find in cases of emergency
that is, put all the remedies, etc, to-
gether, so if some one is burned YOU
will know just where to turn for a
quick remedy. Index the book, and SO

body, indicating the possession of large
digestive organs. Long experience has
taught progressive dairymen that a
cow having wedge-shaped form, the
rear being wide, the udder large and
extending well both front and back,
with the teats set regularly and we'll
apart, is usually one that will not dis
appoint her owner, but as the individ-
uality Of the animal is also a factor
in the breed, the disposition, freedom
from disease and quality of the prod
uct must be considered, especially as
no two COWS are alike, and the quantity
and quality of the milk and butter may
vary with the same individual daily.
The calf should also conform to the
shape of the cow, and even the embryo
udder will give some indication of it's
future. An experienced breeder gives
this rule for judging of a COW or calf
by it's appearance: With the eye meas
ure the distance from the tail about
halfway down the rump, as it drops
straight down, to the rear line Of the
thigh, and the greater the distance be-
tween those points, and the more curv-
ing the thigh, the better the cow. The
hips must curve away from the tail

The hydraulic ram also furnishes an
other method of raising water from a
spring on lower level. These rams
are now made to work extremely well,
and are, moreover, very reasonable i'll
price. Considering that nature can
thus be harnessed and made to work
for us without compensation, it is
strange that greater number Of
farmers do not take advantage of the
hydraulic ram. AS it can work night as
we'll as day, one has only to supply a
tank of sufficient size to thus utilize a
Spring from which little water flows
per minute.-New York Tribune.

To Keep Cider Fresh.

First your barrel mustn be scrupu-
lousy clean, and cider be made in the
fall, after it has become cool, frosty
nights. For thirty gallons take heap
ing teaspoonful Of sulphite of lime, mix
thoroughly in gallon of cider. Turn
into the barrel soon as cider is made,
shake we'll, cork tight, and place in a
cool cellar or smokelouse. l have
saved barrels of cider this way, and it
does not get dark like the acid recipe,
needs no eggs to clear it, and is a
healthful and pleasant drink. Wash
apples; use no decayed ones.

Cucumber Soup.

After peeling a large cucumber, cut
it in quarters and take out the seeds;
slice it very thinly, and sprinkle salt
over it in a stewpan; when the cucum
Der is sufficiently drained, turn 1t into

but not brown; add about one teaspoon
full tarragon vinegar, and plenty Of
seasoning, one quart Of stock; simmer
for nearly an hour; when ready for
serving heat the yolks Of three eggs,
add to a small teacup of milk; the milk
should be warmed before mixing with
the eggs.

Hints for the Hennery.

Active hens are the best layers.
Clean houses and runs are the best
medicine.
A nest egg will usually stop her
scratching the nest; if not, use shay
ings.
A spoonful of oil or turpentine is a
good remedy for tapeworm in poultry.
If fowls leave part of their breakfast
in the dish, remove it.
If their appetites fail, change Of
food is needed.
Anything that will make milk will
make eggs, but don't feed much cotton
seed meal or rye.

was certainly as distinct from each Of
these as each is from the other; and
which may still remain in the memory
of an expert who may not have only in

the influence of skillful culture, or may
deteriorate under continued neglect

Scareity of Cattle.

Cattle are becoming scarce in the
West, and the Eastern markets will be
affected by the conditions existing in
the cattle regions. Farmers who raise
more calves, and Of good quality, will
get good prices for them by the time
they are matured. There is no better
way to dispose of the surplus foods
than to have sufficient stock to con-
sumo 1t, and the manure will also be
an important item on the farm.

Summer dnasb.

Use only very young, tender
squashes. Wash and cut off the STEM,
lay them in kettle with barely water
enough to keep them from burning
and cook until tender. Drain and let
the water boil down to a thick syrup,
add butter, salt and pepper. Cut the
squash in portions for serving, and
pour the seasoned sauce over 1t. In
this way the delicate favor of the
SQUASH is retained.

The Old Plow.

BY the fence in the orchard the old pillow
stands,
Slowly rusting and rotting away,
While the days go by with their dropping
sands,
And the world grows dull and gray.
1t did it's work in the long ago
AS it tumbled the stony soil,
And the harvest waved with a golden
glow,
With crown for the brow of toll.
1t seemed to shout Like a warrior bold
AS it entered the stubborn field,
And the wind-swept clouds above it rolled
And the sun smote it's shining shield.
But now it stands by the fence alone,
With its share all brown with rust,
And its oaken frame with weeds DER
grown
And smoldering away to dust.
And as at the dear old plow l gaze
| think of the loved ones dead,
And the fragrant flowers Of the vanished
days
And the joys that so swiftly sped
And soon / know with the flowing tide
That burrows the silvered brow,
I, too, will be tenderly laid aside
To molder like an outworn p1ow.

BRIEF EXPLANATION BY

That electricity is a force is about all
that the popular mind has absorbed
concerning the subject, unless it ma y
be added that NEST persons stand in
fear of it as something dangerous an q
uncanny. How many know that but
for electricity all life would cease?
1t is becoming more and more under

istence. The earth, the air, our bo d.
les are charged with it, dispense it.

The Work of IL Great Man
In Newport.
Honest Tribute to Eminent Mer-

greatly benefited

Honest Tribute to Eminent Mer-
it, ANA Il practice that has
greatly benefited
the people of this community.
A man is truly great whose life is
devoted to the good of his fellow hu-
man beings; such man DR.. Sproule
has proved himself to be in Newport.
AS the visit Of this celebrated Spec
ialist is now drawing 10 a close, we
feel in duty bound to make mention of
his work among our citizens. Never
before in Orleans county has there
been acquired in such short space of
time such wonderful reputation in
the medical profession a that of DIR.
Sproule. From early morning till late
at night the Doctors offices have been
crowded with persons eager to obtain
treatment and relief from their all
ments. Hundreds Of supposed incura
BILE cases are happy to attest the skill
and ability of DR.. Sproule. In our
daily rounds we meet many of the doc
tors patients, who all sing his praises
and feel deeply grateful to his kind
ness and close attention.
The doctor is an alert, active man, of
commanding presence. He is living
example OF the Tact CnaC the medical
world is not at standstill, and an OBJ
ject lesson that the only limit to what
an able physician can accomplish is
the limit of his own capabilities.
The doctor is modest and unassum-
ing, benevolent and sympathetic. No
one can be in his presence and not feel
he is in the presence of master mind.
We have had intimate dealings with
the doctor and believe him to be an
honorable, skilled physician { who
would not stoop to an Legitimate act
in his profession) and a thoroughly
good, kind and conscientious man,
who practices his profession not for
the sake of gain so much as fof the
pleasure it affords him of helping suf-
fering humanity.
In his relations with all whom he
meets the doctor is always courteous
and sentlemanly, and has gained the
respect and esteem of this community.
He has carried light and gladness Into
many hougeholds where long the dark
pail of sickness lowered. Many, many
patients in this section join their APP
proving voices to swell the grand cho-
rus, that goes up from all over the
land in his praise and honor. We wish
him continued success.
