LIFE,

We march down the aisles of time;
silently. swiftly, one by one
Nsical murmur and mournful moan,
klhintive pleading and tender tone,
Blend in living rhyme.
Hope and happiness, faith md fame,
AL are swept along
Into a future misty ind gray,
Peopled with phantoms grim and gray,
Some with curse and some with a
song.
Lives that were full of happiness,
Others that teemed with sin;
Shadowy phantoms of bygone days
On suffering soul turn full their
gaze,
And we long for the "Might have
been"
But the longing is vain, for the past is
And passing present is all we
know.
Futurity's riddle we may not read,
But the pains of the past with its lust
and greed
Should tell us the way to go.
Prince and pauper are peers in death,
Their ashes are blown where their
feet once trod,
Out Of the past with Its veal and woe
Into the future of doubt we go,
Christian and pagan to face one God.

The Lcnf of Young Grain.

There is much difference in the
breadth, size and color of leaf in young
grain as 1t comes up. 1t is partly de-
pendent on the character of the seed,
as the plant sends up Its first leaves
mainly from the starchy matter which
encloses the germ and which the germ
uses until it is able to put forth roots
Into the soil. Barley being larger and
heavier than oats has always n broader
leaf, though il oats are sown on rich
land and somewhat late they will come
up with leaf that looks like barley.
But this rank growth early is not re-
garded favorably by the cultivator, for
he knows that 1t is liable to be follow
ed by rust of stalk or grain later in the
season. narrowing grain that comes
up with too small and thin a leaf bruis-
es these first leaves, and us 1t also
stimulates root growth 1t causes the
plant to send up new shoots with much
broader leaves. This dries out the soil,
thus preventing the excessive growth
later that invites rust.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1899-05-03
Silver Ratio.

1t appears that the English flnanciers
are needlessly alarmed over the idea
that the Mckinley administration may
do something radical in favor Of silver.
CHANGING over the history of the Re
publican party as it relates to silver,
there is nothing to excite the fears of
the most tfmid English friend of gold,
and yet right now Lord Aldenham sug-
gests to Secretary Hay the idea that the
India mints might possibly be opened
Mt ratio of % to 1.
This suggestion is alleged to have
been because Lord Alderman and his
advisers feared that the american
government might take the bit in its
teeth and re-enact the old ratio"
There is nothing in the attitude of
Mckinley mt the present time or in the
history of his party which justifies such
fear. While the Republicans do not
agree among themselves rs to what
they want in the way of monetary ire
FORM" they are all unalterably opposed
to bimetallism and will not favor any
legislation which proposes to rehabili-
tate silver, even to the slightest extent.
Lord Alderman is ludicrously mistaken
when he fears action friendly to silver
on the part of Republican administra-
tinp

s,ow.Germinotinr Seed.

There are some kinds of seeds, like
the satisfy, that are so hard and dry
that 1t seems impossible to gcrminate
them quickly enough in spring so rs to
keep ahead of the weeds. We advise
putting such seed in water made al
most scalding heat, or about $50 de-
grees to 160 degrees, for few minutes
at time, withdrawing the seeds and
repeating the scaldng until the seed
shows signs Of swelling Then plant
such seeds, and If the soil is warm the
plants will be up as quickly as the
weeds. Onion seed may be treated the
same way. Some kinds of plants which
come up very small and are not con-
spicuous can be cultivated quite near
to the rows by dropping n few radish
seed In the row where the more valu-
able crop is grown. The radish will
show sooner than almost any other gar
den plant, and what radish are thus
grown can be pulled out and used by
the time the other crop can be seen to
hoe closely to it.

Oats for Young Lambs.

A healthy, thrifty lamb will very
soon require more food than the limit
ed amount which its dam furnishes,
and when not more than Il week old it
will begin to pick at hay or clover as
it sees Its dam doing. This is an indi-
cation that 1t needs additional food.
Clover hay is excellent, but 1t should
be supplemented by a feed of half n
gill Of oats given morning and night.
There Is no better nutrition for grow
Ing animals than oats. 1t will enable
them to eat and digest other food and
put them in the way of being thrifty
all the rest of their lives, until their
teeth are too much worn by use to mas
ticate well.
