THE MEADOW LARK.

Minstrel of melody,
How shall chant of thee,
Floating in meadows athrill with thy
song?
Fluting anear my feet,
Plaintive, and wildly-sWeet-
Oh, could thy spirit to mortal belong!
Tell me thy secret art,
How thou dost touch the heart,
limiting of happiness still unpossessed;
Say, doth thy bosom burn pa
Vainly, as mine, and yearn
Sadly for something that leaves It un-
blessed? 81 1874
Doth not that tender tone, -
Over the clover blown, 2%s 81
Flow from sorrow-a longing in vain9
Or, is it joy intense,
So like pang, the sense
Hears in thy sweetest song something of
Others may cleave thesteeps.
Soar, and in upper deeps
Sing in the heavens blue arches profound;
But, thou most lowly thing,
Teach me to keep my wing XII
Close to the breast Of our mother, the
ground! &
Soon shall my deeting lay
Fade from the world away
Thine, eyer-during, shall thrill through the
years;
Love, who once gladdened me,
Surely hath saddened thee
Half Of thy music is made of his tears!
Long may list thy note
Soft through the summer float
Far DER the fields where the wild grasses
wave; u.n@|
Then, when my day is done. '.M
Oh at the set of sun,
Pour out thy spirit anear to my grave!

Business Principles They Are
Paying Investment.

There are two causes that probably
more than all other things have made
apple growing In different localities
seem unproftabl One is the failure
to grow q sufficiently large acreage to
sell to the best advantage. To give
the shipper q profit apples must be
handled in large quantities not less
than carloads, and several carloads
make it still better. 5ss
ss Buyers will 60 into any locality
where several carloads can. be pur-t
chased and will, pay fair prices for,
good fruit. a little Investigation will
usually show that where prices are
very low either the quantity was such
that carload could not be secured or
there was such q large number Of va
rieties as to spoil the sale. Here IS
where many have made mistake
They have planted Sufficient acreage
to supply a sufficient quantity, but at
the same time planted such large
number Of varieties as to spoil the
sale. s. 8gs
AS in other lines Of farming and fruit
growing we are learning by expert
ence, and it is proposed now to form
fruit7growing associations. In a given
locality number of farmers form an
organization and agree to plant so
many acres each so that in the aggre-
gate several hundred acres Of not
more than three or four varieties will
be planted. A very considerable saw
ing can in this way be made in pur-
chasing the trees, and by meeting and
giving their experiences the better
plan Of setting out, cultivating, and
caring for can be ascertained.
When the trees come into bearing
they can be sold to much better adj
vantage insevery way, while by dis
tributing the crop among a consider
able number Of farmers the risk Of
serious loss is reduced to minimum
Where this plan has been tried good
profits have Deen realized One man
in locality growing few acres and
especially of mixed varieties could not
under present conditions make large
profit unless the circumstances were
unusually favorable.-N. j. Shepherd,
in Farmers Voice.

LINING GARDEN SOIL.
Best and Cheapest Way I. BY the
Systematic Application Of Phos-
phnte OF Lime.

The best as well as the cheapest
form to apply lime to the land is in
powdered phosphate of lime, procured
in the low grade powdered phosphates,
at lower price than for lime. with
the additional value of the phosphor-
sic acid, as much in quantity as is con-
tanned in the commercial fertilizers
termed superphosphates, and very
much more than is contained in wood
ashes.
Powdered phosphate of lime mois-
tened with little water, yields, to
water a considerable quantity of solu-
BILE phosphate Of lime, and the solu-
bility rapidly increased by the addi-
ton Of organic matter. !.
Hence, wherever earthly phosphates
Of lime exist with organic matter,
water will invariably dissolve por-
ton, progressively with the decompo-
sition Of organic matter by fermenta-
ton. This fact is of the utmost i'm
portance to agriculture. Andrew Fl.
Ward, in American Gardening.

O--I-.C

When preparation has an advertised rep
utation that. is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you 60 into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell YOU
something else" in place of the article You
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our of your. credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you a substitute for Cascarets
is fraud: Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits Of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
60 so far, he5will go farther. Ifihe cheats
his customer in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with him.
Beware of the Cascaret substitutor!

bulk but in metal boxes with the long tailed

,noval should be avoided as much as
possible.
By the use Of q single table, as illus
trated, plums and other similar fruits
are easily assorted. The top of the
table should not be over 3x2 1-2 feet.
The sides and back (r, r, ~ may be
eight inches wide at the back, taper
ing to three inches in front; the front
guards e, g. should be less than
three inches high, leaving q six-inch
space between the inner ends: the
slanting board (g) is six inches wide.
To operate it, place the fruit careful
ly upon the table, the assorter occu-
plying chair in front of the table,
with a basket on his lap. Both
hands can then be used in remov-
ing the leaves, limbs, damaged or i'm
perfect fruit, throwing the refuse
into baskets In. NJ on the floor. The
perfect fruit, or that intended for
shipping, Is rolled in front and
passes over the incline (g) into the
basket. This table need cost but lit

elaborate form as wished. In work
ing, the elbows can rest upon the
guards &c, q, which will make the OPP

planes and quickly removed after

LOCATING THE HOME.
House Can be Made Healthful
and Attractive.

In laying out country homes one of
the most important points to be we'll
guarded against is the direction from
the house Of the stables, pig pens,
cattle lots and other necessary but
bad-smelling Accomplishments of the
farm. However neatly they may be
kept, there will be more or less OF
unwholesome effluvia arising from
them in hot weather. AS the prevail
ing winds of the summer are from
the south and west, the proper place
for such things is to the northeast
or east Of the dwelling. This will
carry the odors away from instead OF
toward the house. A south or east
front for the premises gives better
chance for such arrangement than
any other. In planting trees, shrub
berry,, flower beds. and planning
walks and drives follow the natural
style rather than stiff, straight or
formal lines, placing the trees and
shrubs in groups and irregular lines,
rather than in straight or geometri-
cal lines Of any kind, putting the
larger ones upon the border of the
house yard, with the smaller ones in
front of them. This will make a back
ground for the shrubbery and flowers,
giving a natural and graceful look.
Lay the roads and walks III gentle
curves from point to point, placing
groups of trees or shrubs on the in
side Of the curves, that the devia-
tions from straight lines may seem
natural and fitting. Make no gates
directly in front Of the main entrance
to the dwelling, but rather slightly
to one side, from which the road or
walk should gently sweep to the de-
sired entrance. Plant no large grow
ing trees, so as to eventually shade
and shut out the view. "A few that
will make good shade, such as the elm
and maple, may be set in groups or
alone where they will be out Of the
way, and yet sufficiently near the
house Ito make convenient shade.
Plant the native trees Of the forest Or
which may be bought at little expense
rather than those which are costly,
tender and unsatisfactory. H. u E.
Van Deman, at New York Institute.

chickens. Now Is the time for them to
repay my devotion. And, by gum, they
will do it or get in trouble
THAT afternoon Sol gotta couple Of
long sticks, and carrying them over his
shoulders with three hawks perched on
them, started after ducks. Pretty
soon along came a flock Of ducks, fly
ing pretty low. Sol united his hawks
and pointed at the ducks. It wasn't
half a minute before those trained
hawks understood what was wanted of
them, and off they went at full tilt
after the ducks. Each hawk grabbed
a duck, started back with it toward Sol
and dropped it at his feet.
Then came the first Of Soils actions,
which turned aside. the hearts of his
faithful duck hunters. When the hawks
delivered up their ducks to Sol they
began to look for some liver as re-
ward. But Sol didn't see it that way.
Those ducks are still in sight, he
says to the hawks, as if they could un-
derstand him. sAnd duty calls on you
to go after. them. Now is your chance
to repay a little of my care and affec:
ton. This is no. time to be looking for
liver
"Sol kept pointing at the rapidly dis
appearing flock of ducks, and as his
hawks didn't seem to understand what
he meant, he grabbed stick and be-
gan pounding them with it. It was
plain that the hawks were grieved and
mystiied, rather than angry. They had
each of them brought in duck, why
didn't they get their liver? And why
did Sol, the man who had fed them and
whom they had looked up to and ven
Grated, beat them with stick?
FINALLY they gave it up as bad
job trying to figure out what it all
meant, and seeing that Sol wanted more
ducks, off the hawks started, but act
ing in patient, puzzled sort of way
that was really pathetic.
"'Those birds of yours are faith
full and well trained observed to Sol,
but loving kindness isn't the strongest
quality of any hawk, even an educated
one. If you beat them about once more
they will tryito get even with you, And
from what know of hawks, I'm bet
ting they will succeed
"But Sol only grunted out that 1t was
ducks and not tokens of esteem that he
wanted. from those hawks.
"After quite wait we saw the hawks
coming back. They had had a long
chase after the ducks and were pretty
weary when they reached us, but each
faithful hawk was bringing back a
duck, and laid it in front of Sol. Then
every bird looked up in an expectant
sort of way as if he now felt certain of
getting his liver. And it was here that
the real meanness of SOILS nature
showed up.
"sol was just going to reward his
Woodworking birds, when away off to
the north another flock of ducks showed
up. Then Sol wanted to start his hawks
right after the new flock.
Don't you do it, warned him.
These faithful birds of yours are pref
ty nearly worn out, and if you don't

will lose faith in human nature. A
trained hawk who has lost faith in
human nature is an ugly ANIMAL said,
solmenly.
'But Sol was set on starting his
hawks after this particular flock of
ducks. The patient birds, instead of go
ing just loitered around, waiting for
their reward. Then Sol grabbed his
stick and began pounding them worse
than before. For about minute the
birds stood it, then it seemed to come
over them all at once that they were
being beaten and cheated after they
had done their duty. Each bird gave
a sort of queer little cry, in which
there was more disappointment at
the way Sol had treated them than an
ger, and then rose in the air and
turned, not in the direction of the
ducks, but toward SOILS barnyard.
