FIRST VERSE.

There's 4 farm house I remember, twas
my chillhoo1's happy home.
And I'll ne'er forget its scenes while life
shall last.
Oh! T often wish that I could cross it's
threshold as of yOre,
And live once more the life that now is
past.
With father, kind and gentle, and dear,
sainted mother too.
Who always tried their duty to fulfill,
would that were young again and had
them with me now :
In that dear old roomy farmhouse on
the hill.
CHORUS.
To me it was a palace Of grandeur unsur-
passed; .
loved it when I was child, I love it
still,
And no greater joy I covet than to visit
once again
And live within that farmhouse on 1.-THE
hill.

The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-02-23

A. gentleman relates to the Farmers
Review a story of the destructive work
done by. afpet bantam. The man in
question had about twenty-five hens
sitting, most of which brought off
nearly full broods of chicks. He felt
very proud of the very large hatch and
took good care Of them, hoping to raise
Large number. Everything went well
for some time, but after a while he
began to find dead chicks in the nests
Of the hens that had brought off new
broods. For ONE days the mystery
seemed inexplicable. But he set a
watch and the mischief-maker was dis
covered. A pet bantam hen was seen
to fly over the fence into the yard in
which the: chicks and their mothers
were kept. She would Immediately ap-
proach some brood and make a show of
attacking the chicks. The ehicks~would
run under the wings of their mother
and the latter would give battle to the
bantam. The old hen being unable to
move from her position, by reason of
the chicks lowering under her wings,
she was not able to drive the bantam
away, but in her movements succeeded
in trampling to death several chicks.
1t was surmised that this incident Lad
been repeated from day to day, the
number of chicks killed being AZ. The
bantam was Immediately killed and the
losses stopped. This illustrates the
necessity of using great care to protect
the broods from intrusion by quarrel
some hens.

A Straw Hen House.

From Farmers Review: Cold WINS
remind us that cold winter is on the
way, and while we are preparing for
his advent in other ways, let us prepare
a warm place for the biddies. They
will repay us, l am sure. For two
winters we had as warm and coy a
house as c.ny hens need wish for, and
that with but little outlay in Fcash.
Poles were cut from the woods, stout.
ones, but not very large, and these were
driven into the ground some. six inches
apart, and in this case they were driven
il the form of a square, twelve by
twelve feet, and six feet high. After
one course was driven another was
driven one-half foot inside the other.
Space was left for a door and the. poles
were sawed out to permit of a window
being inserted. The space between the
rows of poles was filled with straw,
tightly packed, a rough casing made
far the window and door, the window
placed in position and the door hung,
when the walls were ready for the roof,
A large pole, rather post, was set in
the center of the hen house, projecting
three feet above the top of the walls,
and one end of the poles were wired to
this post, the other ends placed at reg
ular intervals OF the walls close
enough together to prevent the straw

Remarkable Example of Old Age.

Probably the most remarkable ex-
ample of old age is furnished nv
Thomas Parr of England, ''The old
Old, Very Old Man." as. John TAYLOR
calls him. When so years of age Parr
married his first wife, by whom he had
one son and one daughter. About This
time he was in the prime of his vigor
of mind and body. When Parr was 112
years of age his first wife died and
ten years later he married a second
wife. For thirty years afterwards he
lived the life of a husbandman. At the
age of 40 years Parr used to thresh
out the corn on the barn floor and ba
lived the simple and abstemious life
of a small farmer. At length the fame
of the wonderful old man reached the
ears of the second earl. of Arundel, who
brought Parr in a litter by easy stages
to London in September, 1886. The
wonderful vitality of the old man was
the marvel of the age. He was nre-
sented to the king and afterwards .ev-
hibited at the Queens Head in the
Strand.
All these changes, however, had an
Injurious effect on his health. He
missed the in~vigorating air of his ma
tive Shropshire. and the constitution
which years seemed powerless to af-
feet, gave way before the noise and
excitement of London, and a super-
abundance of rich diet, of which Parr
partook with his characteristic indif-
ference to consequences.
The old man died in November, 1635
aged 1872, and was buried in Westmin-
ster Abbey, where an inscription re-
cords the chief circumstances of his re-
markable life, and mentions the fact
that he lived in the reigns of ten mon
archs.

A Small BOYS Scheme.


A small boy who is not familiar with
rural ways was taken by his fond
mamma for a brief stay in the coun-
try. On a farm in a neighboring coun-
ty he waxed fat and sunburnt, and
picked up a wondrous store of aston
ishing experience. One day the farmer
smilingly said to his mother:
"Just ask your boy what he hid two
eggs in the stable for" So, at the
very first opportunity, the mother said
to the six-year old:
my dear, what did you do with
those eggs you took from the hem
house ?"'
"Oh, mamma" replied the boy, "I
didn't want you to know about it,"
why, it's all right" said mamma.
II only want to know what my boy did
with them"
Il hid them in the stable" said the
little fellow.
And what for?'
"Cause it's my scheme"
Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
Why, you see, mamma" said the
little philosopher, when eggs is
horned in a c~hickenhouse they is al
ways little chickens, an I fink If they
was horned in a stable dey might be
little horses!"

We're used to keep the straw from

neat, II odd, structure, and a lady who
had just returned from the worlds fair

of hay they will last a long time. One

If the accidental holes are kept filled

placed in the south and the dust box
was directly beneath it, where the sun
would warm the bath. The wires placed
on top of the roof were used to prevent
the hens scratching the thatch of, as
much as for anything else, for they

burned and not much loss, so for a
cheap, comfortable house there are few
that will equal the straw house. Some
times they are built wigwam style, the
hay or straw piled around and over it.
Such a one, while not as lasting or as
neat, is comfortable and requires much
less time to build. If a large one is
wished two or more stout posts must
be used

The oldest FAMILY in the World.

About a dozen of the 400 barons in
the British house of lords date back
to 1400, the earliest being 1854. The
Oldest family in the British Isles is the
Mar family of Scotland, 1898. The
Campbells OF. Argyle, to whom belongs
the present Duke of Argyll, began in
1880. Talleyrand dates from 1899, Bis
marck from 1870, the Grosvenor fam
lily, the Dukes of Westminster, 1866;
the Austrian house of Hapsburg goes
back to 952, and the house of Bourbon
to 1874. The descendants of Mahomed,
born $40, are all registered carefully
and authoritatively in a book kept in
Mecca by the chief of the family. Little
or no doubt exists of the absolute au-
thenticity of the long line of Mahom-
eds descendants. In China there are
many old families, also among the
Jews.
When it ONES to pedigrees there is
one gentleman to whom the world
must take off his hat as a great and
only ~none-such. This is the Mikado Of
Japan. His place has been filled by
members of his family for more than
$500 years. The present Mikado is
the one, hundred and twenty-second of
the line. The first one was contempt
rary with ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, 666 years
before Christ.

Pollr,s Pie.


When Mary Ann was cooking once
Our Polly made a pie;

And some butter standing nigh:
And then she tool some sugar, cause
She says she like things sweet,
And sprinkled on the rolling board
All that she didn't eat.
h rolled 1t out a long, long time,
With salt, a little bit;
And dropped 1t four times on the floor,
ana once she stepped on 1t.
she doesn't think pie plates made of tin
are pretty, so she took
A small, red flower pot saucer
Which was better for the cook.
sne hlled her pie with half a pear,
Two raisins and a date;
Ihen put it in the oven, and
Forgot it till quite late.
II was not burned, for Mary Apn
Had taken care of that;

The chickens and the cat.

One day a little son of ev. T. V. Gard

had a cart, and they wanted a dog to
draw It,
Papa says we must pray for what

h Musical Cat.

Judging by the shrill, unmelodious
"meaous" with which the feline race
makes known its temper, it's wants
and its woes, n would not give the
ordinary house cat credit for possess
ing knowledge of even rag-time music,
much less classical operas and ora
torios. But it seems that Pussy's
voice is by no means indicative of her
tastes and mental requirements, and il
in a musical program gotten up for
here benefit, you were to substitute
How 1 Love My Lou" for the Tam
hauser march or a chorus from
Faust" thinking she would never
know the difference, you would be
pretty apt to get yourself into trouble.
At least we have scientists word to
that effect, and it is never advisable to
contradict a scientist. And these
scientific investigators go still further,
and maintain that although to uncul-
tivated ears Pussy's walls are not par
ticularly pleasing and inspiring, they
are, nevertheless, replete with musical
quality, being given in perfect time
tine scientists here undoubtedly refer
to the number of beats to a measure
rather than to the divisions of the day
and night, and embellished with
scherzos, trills and crescendos At to
break your heart. And when it comes
to purring Pussy's tones are sweeter
than the softest lullaby.
Scientists may be right about the
purr, a soft, deep-toned, gentle hum
being often soothing to jagged nerves,
but as to the caterwauling-well,
everybody to his taste. All things con-
sidered, it seems quite probable that
some cats are more a~ppreciative of our
music than we are of theirs. We have
it on good authority that several OF
these feline musical prodigies are resi-
dents of Chicago. One of them lives
in a fine house in North State street.
Her mistress is particularly fond of
her, and at the musicals which are
frequently given there Mrs. Pussy is
always given a chance to show off her
musical ability-that is, SO far as lis
tening and criticising are concerned.
This cat not only enjoys good music,
it is claimed, but has her favorite airs,
and as soon as the chords are struck
on the piano or guitar or uttered by
the human voice she manifests her
pleasure in various ways, such as rub
bling her soft fur against the perform
er, swaying her tail gracefully in ac-
compartment and purring in joyful ap-
probation. The cat is a thoroughbred
Maltese. Her mistress declares that
when she was a tiny kitten so many
evidences of Pussy's musical talents
were apparent that it was deemed
proper to cultivate them. Her educa-
ton has therefore received constant
and careful attention. The results, it
goes without saying, are exceedingly
neutrality-suspicious. M. Wise.

Little Karl's mother had not all the
patience in the world, though she was
the wife of a minister. When he.
small and inattentive son for some
time had been wrestling vainly with
that part of the multiplication table
which reiterates bewildering sugges-
lions of eleven times things mamma at
last said, despairingly: ooh, dear!

mark was made really without any ex-

Karl, but he felt the seriousness of the
occasion, and, frightening his face

That ended the lesson for the day.

"yankee, a Name of Contemnt.

The word Yankee" is older than the
United. States. While it is not def
initely known when the word first
came into use as applied to a New
Highlander, the following quotation
from a letter written by the English
officer Lieut.. Anbury in 1777 gives an
idea of it's origin: IT,; -,
"Apropos, it may not be amiss here
just to observe to you the etymology
of this term. 1t is derived from the
Cherokee word, 'eankke,' which sig
niies coward and slave. This epithet
Of Yankee was bestowed upon the
inhabitants of New England by the
V~irginfans for not assisting them in a
war with the Cherokees, and they have
always been held in derision by it..
But the name has been moro prevalent
since the commencement of hostilities.
The soldieTy at Boston used it as a
term of ~reproach, but after the affair at
Bunker's Hill the Americans gloried
in it. Yankee Doodle is now their
