RAlsE oE TIE PRESENT.

Poets there be who tune their Tyres TO Days
And sing q song of sentiment In measure
sad and low.
To them the golden age is past, the golden
fleece is clipped:
The rose of pleasure hath been plucked, the
cup of joyance slipped;
They live in longing for the lost, the dead Of
Might Have Been
But Ia bard most practical-count all
such singing sin.
To me These Days, these present days,
Have fertile fields and flowery ways,
Wherein my fancy fondly strays;
And If had song TO sing. I'd sing about
These Days.
And there be bards who rave s;ave con-
corning Days to Be.
When all things shall be lovely and luXu-
RANT and free.
When JOY shall reach her chalice down to
thirsty mortal lip,
And certain rare elected ones TO drunken
ness shall sip;
The bud has yet TO blossom and the honey
to be stored
Ere hungry souls may sit them down and
sweep the festal board.
But as for me, say These Days
Hold pastures where my soul may Craze
Anu Drink ueiIS nus anu 6dlHS4 "a!
And If l knew q stave TO rave. I'd rave
about These Days.
To me These Days are golden-tipped with
goodly thoughts and things,
And Opportunity but waits to spread her
splendid wings
At my command, 10 bear me up and make
my vision wide,
That 1 may sweep the height. the deep and
know them deifedi
The golden Days of Long Ago, the golden
Days TO Be
Are not so wonderful by half as These Days
are 10 me;
And so These Days, these golden days,
To me are rich with wine and maize
And minstrel-sweet with harvest lays;
And were 1 piping Pan himself, I'd pipe
about These Days.

Make the Farm Home Happy.

Some farmers have wives whom they
work like slaves, and soon these once
fair specimens of Gods work grow gray
and wrinkled. If the drudgery contin-
ues, death follows and the farmer Is lett
wifeless. There is something in this
life to work for besides money. Wealth
Is a nice thing to have, but health is far
greater and more necessary. a man or
woman in good health is millionaire
though penniless. At the rate some
farm women 60 about their endless
tasks they are quite likely to lose the
latter and miss the former. Their

ment in the farm home. 1t can be made
the happiest place on earth if its owner
so elects.-Farmers' Voice.

Balinr clover In the Field.

It is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the ben
efits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew or
rain, and when wellwilted the hay ted
der is used, so as to give it every chance
to cure. In the afternoon the hay Is
baled and hauled to the barn. If this
method is practiced care must be eXer-
cised in having the hay properly cured
and in just the proper condition for
baling, as hailed clover is more liable to
heat than timothy OF ether kinds.

We had lot of old posts to pull and
haul off. The ground was dry and the
posts came up hard. We at first thought
to take long pole and yank them out

while the team stood by; but decided
upon different plan and took with us
merely a good length of chain and q

Good Horses In Demand.

For good horses there will always be
q good price going, for If a man cannot
sell them in this country, he can sell
them in some other country. and the
dealers in that country are only TOO
glad to send their representatives to
the United States to buy them; but 1t is
only horses of great excellence that
they will always surely buy, and to
raise this sort should be the aim OF
every breeder, no matter what sort OF
stock he has his money in. For one
really high-class horse there will al
ways be two buyers.-Rural World.

xvork,np Young Horses.

A colt should be thoroughly Drokeh
the winter before he is two years old,
and should be driven occasionally, both
singly and with another horse, to keep
in practice what he has learned, as well
as to furnish the exercise required to
keep his muscles in good condition. If
put to work it should be only of the
lightest character, and especial care
should be taken at first not to gall the
shoulders where the collar presses. All
the work two-year-old colt will do
without injury costs about as much as
it is worth in extra care given to the
young animal that it does not injure
him.

New Corn Makes Cholera.

The fact that new corn and hog chol-
era get ripe about the same time every
year leads many pretty good hogmen to
believe that feeding new corn, or rath-
er green corn, makes what hog chol-
era we have. While we no doubt would
have plenty of cholera if none of the
corn was fed until thoroughly ripe, there
Is little doubt that the careless feeding
of green corn has sent many porker
to an untimely end. great many
farmers allow their hogs to go through
the summer with no feed and then when
new corn comes there is at once an
anxious effort manifest to make up for
lost time and to get the hogs ready for
market in the shortest possible time,
which is by no means always the best
for the hogs or the owner.-L. .. Way

How to Destroy Vermin.

Do not try to poison rats until you
first bait them. To do so place choice
food where they can getit. After awhile
they will cease to be suspicious and
will anticipate the regular time for
feeding. After they have found out
that you are their best friend, go to
drug store and get some PHOSPHORUS
paste. Give them double mess of food
with the PHOSPHORUS paste well mixed
in, and the chances are that you will
kill everyone in the neighborhood. Lice

Making Use OF Weeds.
A crop of weeds that are nearly ma
tured, but which have not produced
seeds, is one that will pay if 1t is
plowed under. Even weeds can thus
be put to good use if rightly handled,
but the farmer who allows single
weed to produce seed multiplies his
work in the future. There is no waste
of time in killing weeds, as no work on
The farm pays better if future labor is

ESTERHAZY HAS CONFESSED
THERE HAD BEEN LEAKAGES.
Made Public a Statement that He Wrote
the Bordereau-Ssid He Was Ordered
to DO So by the OficisIs of the French
War Observation-Disclosures Innocent.

Paris, July 20-The Matin published a
statement from Comte Ferdinand Walsin

herr and that it was sent to the house of
Colonel Schwartzkoppen, then military at
tache at the German embassy in Paris,
when it was returned to the war office
Colonel Schawartzkoppen, at that time in
Berlin, never saw the bordereau, which
was forged in order to supply material
proof of the guilt of Dreyfus.
The statement contains the assertion
that secret agents in Berlin, whose testi-
mony it was impossible to use, had dem
onstrated that leakages had occurred in
the war Office and that the fact that the
reason existed was undeniable and every
thing indicated Dreyfus as the traitor.
All the war ministers, the statement
further says, knew the facts and thought
the forgery of the bordereau necessary.

Destructive Blaze at the Navy Yard.

New York, July l9.-Fire at the Brook
Ign navy yard threatened much valuable
property in the building occupied by the
provision and clothing department of the
bureau of supplies and accounts.
The fire was discovered on the third
floor in which the duck cloth was kept and
cut up for the men in the navy. About
$500 worth of cloth was on the floor, and
it is thought that it was entirely con-
sumed by the fire, as the flames swept
from one end of the building to the other.
On the second floor was stored in bales
covered by waterproof material all the
other cloth for the suits worn in the navy
and needed for other purposes. The cloth
on this floor was estimated to be valued at
100000. How much of it was destroyed
by water could not be learned, but it was
thought that it must have been somewhat
damaged, despite the fact that it was pro-
tected by waterproof covering.

member of the cabinet as follows:
"Either Major General Otis or the news

ITO deport the correspondents has been
accepted at home and abroad as a return

press.
'"Io relieve Major General Otis will
mean an official acknowledgement of his
failure and a generalization of military
discipline"

administration as a result of publication
