Corn Cron A.sured.

Have you seen the brilliant halo
Circling round the farmers brow?
Have you noted that the combines
Hold no terrors for him now?
Great red dragons, Octopuses
And such things are now endured
Rain is falling over Kansas,
And the corn crop is assured.
Have you heard the distant swapping.
Waited on the breeze Of late,
AS the Kansas corn is shooting
Upward Mt a rapid rate!
Every stalk bears twins or triplets,
Which bid fair to be maturcd:
Look out for record breaker
Kansas corn is now assured.
Even Kansas hens are cackling
In a chorus of delight.
And the beef steer and his sister.
And the swine, smile at the sight:
While the thrifty Kansas farmers.
BY no sophistry allured,
Figure up their gains by millions,
For the corn crop is assured.

BLAIR, THE REGULAR.

sSlair, the regular, wounded lay
aOn the slope Of San Juan hill:
Near BY were two of the volunteers,
Bleeding and faint and still:
And farther up, i'll Il palni-trec hid,
A Spaniard with deadly gun
Took cruel aim at the men below,
Dropping them one by one.
One volunteer, with feeble hand,
Fought with the plaguing flies;
1t told the fact Of lingering life
To the Spaniards watchful eyes.
He raised his gun to his shoulder then
And bullet sang afar;s
1t hit the hat of the wounded man,
Who lay on the left of Blair.
Another! The boy on the right hand
WINGED,
And uttered moan of pain;
Another! Blair looked at his Redeemed
blouse
And muttered, "I'm hit again.
But there's one more load in my old
gun
His brow grew black with a frown--
'And vow I'll shoot that Spanish brute,
Who fires on men that are down."
Weak were his hands as he raised his
But steady his eye and aim:
Boon, round the trunk of the shielding
palm,
The head of the Spaniard came:
Then up from the slope the Springfield
spoke
And answered the Mauser we'll:
Blair, the regular, grimly smiled
As the Spaniard shrieked and fell.
The volunteer who lay on the left
Moaned "Water!" again and again.
Said Blair. by making double-quick

SO, firmly shutting his whitening lips.
He crept where the Spaniard lay,
Secured the prize and crawled slowly
All, painful and long seemed the way!
''You first" said both of the volunteers,
As he held out the full canteen;
They saw his blood-stained blouse. and
they knew
Right we'll what its cost had been;
Blair could but whisper to answer them,
One hand on his bleeding side,
you fellows have homes somewhere"
said he,
I'm regular" Then he died
Sidney of England, make room! Make
room
In thy niche Of courtly fame,
While side by side with thine own we
write
Another nobleman's name!
Blair, the regular! Homeless no more
Since thy deaths heroic day;
Thy name and the fame of thy gallant
deed
Are homed in our hearts for aye.

Devices for Harvesting Corn.
Not every man knows how to stand
up shock of corn which will not twist
or lean into an unrecognizable mass

q writer in the Iowa Homestead, from
which the cuts are reproduced. When

q jack like that seen In figure 1. Pull
the jack along to the place where the
shock is to stand. so that the round

over the place for the shock. Set up

Tho Crescent curculio Mark.

Tho Crescent Curculio Mark.
Wherever fruit is stung by the cur.
culio a crescent-shaped mark is left
that gradually .deadens the portion Of
fruit enclosed, SO that the sap will not
flow 80 freely. This deadening OF the
fruit will extend to the stem and loosen
Its hold. Inside this crescent mark the
curcuho egg will be found. 1t used to
be supposed that the curculio could not
lay Its eggs without making this mark.
1t does not at least, but the two opera:
tons are entirely separate. Instinct
teaches the "little trick" to deaden the
skin in order to stop the flow Of juices,
which might food and destroy the egn
she is about to lay. This deadening Of
the skin causes the fruit to ripen pre-
'maturely, SO that when the egg matches
the worm has ripened instead Of green
fruit to feed upon.

Gro wing Of Potatoes.

1t is conceded by all growers Of pota4
toes that while whole seed Is expensive.
yet the most vigorous growth, largest
yields and best quality of tubers Is pro
cured by planting whole seed. Should
too many stalks appear they may be
trimmed out. Some varieties thrive
better on light soils and some on heavy
ground. for which reason new varie-
ties should not be entirely substituted
for old ones until tested.

Charcoal on the Farm.

NhaTCOal on the FaTm.
To make charcoal, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, cut wood into four-foot
lengths, stand on end around light ma
terial and wood until there is cord OF
two. Cover with leaves or straw, with
an outside shell of dirt. Make draught
places around the bottom. Leave Q
hole at the top and down this drop live
Goals. When the fire is well burning
within. cover the hole at the top. Be
careful to keep all holes, except at the
bottom, closed till the wood Ia wen
charred; then uncover and pile to one
side.
Corn cobs burned in the same way
are almost u necessity in the poultry
yard or pig pen. Wherever pigs or
chickens are kept the spring bonfires
of brush and litter should be to make
charcoal, by smothering the fire and
the remains saved for the runs or
pens, or in the absence Of live stock for
the garden beds.
Setting Posts.
1t Is not good plan to set posts late
in the fall, as digging the soil Mt that
time makes 1t porous, and the post will
he heayed out by frost the following
winter. At whatever time the post Ia
set the soil should be well packed
around 1t, and IL for fence the boards
should be nailed on as soon rs 1t is set,
so that they may not be warped out OF
place. Gate posts which have to sup
port gate Should be protected from
sagging by digging a trench back Of
the gate and fastening in the post q
stake the length of the trench and COW
ering 1t with earth. This will be much
better protection than stakes leaning
against the post, which only help to pry
1t up, as the stakes are themselves lift
ed up by frost and act as lever to
raise the post they lean against.

THE CIVIC CLUB.
The Civic club held a meeting Satur-
day afternoon at which memorial exer-
cises were held for the late Mrs. Philip
H. Brown, and afterwards considerable
business was transacted.
Mrs. Brown was charter member of
the club and had served as one of the
officers and at the head OF one of its de-
partments of work. Mrs. Edward q.
Jordan, Mrs. K. S. Osgood, Mrs J.w. ID.
Carter and Mrs. George Il. French paid
feeling tributes TO Mrs. Brown. After
these remarks a committee consisting OF
Mrs. Howard Gould, Mira. j. w. ID. Car
ter and Mrs. Frederic 4. Boothby was
appointed to confer with similar COM
mittees from other clubs Of which Mrs.
Brown was a member in regard to a suit
able memorial. 1t is thought that this
memorial will take the form OF some ad-
dition to the facilities Of some one OF
the charities with which Mrs Brown
was connected,
Mrs. Charles f. Fiagg was added to
the COMMITTEES ON the public schools
which now consists Of Mrs. De Garmo,
Mrs. Paul Revere Stevens and Mrs.

COUNTY COMMISSI ONERS.
Their Annual Report Promises To BE of
Unusual Interest.

The county commissioners report will
he much larger than has usually been
the case. 1t win contain among other
things a complete list of the orders
drawn by the county commissioners for
the past year, showing how every cent
has been expended. Besides this the
report Will probably contain a complete
list OF the county officers from the year
ths county was orga nized until the pres
ent day. This list Will require a large
amount OF work to prepare as no aoou-
rate list has ever been published at one
time. 1t Is also said that there will be
some interesting recommendations in
this report in regard to the fee system in
county offices, but just what the charac-
ter of these recommendations are no one
seems to he able or willing to tell.

A WATCHER IN LIMBO.

Timothy e. Quinlan was Saturd day
morning before Judge Hill, charged with
aiding and abetting liquor nuisancs.
He was arrested on Fore street Friday
In the act of pushing a button ON the
outside of shop about to be raidsd, and
thus warning the occupants that the
officers were near. Twice did the officers
try to get into the shop for the purpose
of making a seizure, and the keeper
was both times warned by the signal
given by QninIan. Quinlan was put be-
fore the court on the charge above indi-
Gated, this being the first time thai an
arrest of watcher has been made. He
offered no defence. Probable cause
against him was found and he was re-
quired to give bail in the sum OF $500,
which he did.

A NEW BRANCn.
Y. VI. c. A. WIN Open Manual Train
ing Department..

The Y. NJ. q. A. Of Portland Is about
to inaugurats another to its many use
fuI branches In about two weeks It
Will add manual training system, aud
Saturday steps had 90 far advanced that
1t had placed orders for tools with one
OF the business houses of the city. Tho
necessary funds have been raised among
the friends Of the organization TO equip
the rev department The aim Is to take
in those boys who have finished their
course In the public manual training
school. As the arrangements In the city
schools are now carried out only the-
boys Of the grammar school attend and
1t is the intention of the training school
at the Y. M. CA to continue this course.
Not only Will students OF the pnblIo
schools be admitted, but also young men
throughout the city who wish to learn
trade. There will be accommodations
for 80 boys and young men, each OF whom
will have a bench, tools and turning
lathes run by power. This is no new
experiment in the line OF work of the I.

country and has he come very successful.
1t has been particularly well developed
In the citlss OF Hartford, Conn, and
Bridgeport, Conn, aud also with good
degree OF success at Springfield, Mass.
In Hartford wealthy men have taken
hold of the scheme and contributed
heavily, one man giving 100000, one
halr being to the building and the other
half as an endowment to the work.
The association has secured as teachers
for the new department Mr.. George II.
Babb and Mr.w II, Morton, who are the
instructor and assistant instructor re-
spsctively of the publio school manual
training school. Along with their pres
ent duties Mr.. Babb and Mr.. Morton will
continue In their work with the Y. NJ.
u. A. department.
The officers OF the Portland association
have been considering this idea OF a
new department for some time and are
successful. The fact that clerks and
office men are plenty in the cities and
that skilled labor is not of as great q
value as 1t might be, makes this effort
OIL the part of the association, especially
adapted to manufacturers OF Portland
and indeed OF the whole state.
Three rooms on the fifth floor OF the
building have been set apart as the
manual training system. At present
there will be eight benches with three
drawers for each bench.
