The Farmers Dinner Horn.
I love all the sounds listened to by the
farmer,
All speak with an eloquent voice
OF rural contentment; but one is q
charmer.
oh, 1t 10 the sound of my choice!
I mean the utensil that hangs In the
kitchen
And swings by string to and fro,
That peals out its summons. mems lives
to enrichen,
Three times ev'ry day as they 60.
love the cock crow at the coming OF
morning,
Lambs bIcating gives pleasure to me;
I hear with delight the crows "caw!'
when adjourning
To where he roosts snug In tree.
There's music for me ina big wagons
rattle;
The clack OF a moving MACHINE
Will set me to dreaming, while bawling
of cattle,
Or whinny of colts on the green
Is sure not to jar on my peace and con-
tentment,
And even a cackling old hen
Or loud-squealing porker calls up no re-
sentiment,
And I'm prone to listen; but when
There floats ON the air from the tree
embowered dwelling,
That summons so loud and SO sweet.
Der rill. dale and woodland it echoes 80
swelling,
So far-reaching. piercing and feet.
I welcome its message with kindly re-
joicing;
To all It means surcease of toll;
"Refreshment and rest" is the burden it's
voicing
To labor-worn tillers of soil.
So, here's to the trumpet that hangs IN
the Kitchen;
1t summons men home from the corn,
From hay field and fallow, life's hour to
enrichen-
The battered old tin dinner horn.

How to Make Good Butter.

have read much about making but.
ter for both the home and foreign trade.
Experiment stations have beeu trying
to teach creameries how to make sweet
butter. but they had better go back TO
the farmers and teach them how to pro-
duce sweet, clean milk. free from for
eign odors. As soon as the milk is
drawn 1t should be removed from the
stable. strained through canton flannel.
and given a good airing. Cool II to
nearly freezing point. II possible. This
will drive out all impurities. so that the
making of sweet butter Is possible. For
my part I prefer Jersey cows. as they
give richer milk e7d more highly color

butter without any coloring whatever.
and can get 80 cents pound for It.
while the creamery Is receiving only 25
cents She makes exactly what the
trade calls for.--H. r.. IN Orange Judd

How oft In my dreams I 50 back to the

When stood at our old wooden gate.
And started to school In full battle ar

Well armed with primer and slate.
And as the latch fell thought myself

And gioried, fear, on the sly.
Till heard kind voice that whispered
to me:
BE a good boy: goodbye"
BE good boy: good-by." 1t seems
They have followed me all these years:
They have given form to my youthful
dreams
And scattered my foolish fears.
They have stayed my feet on many a
brink.

For just In time would pause and
think:
BE good boy; goodbye" /.
Oh. brother OF mine, in the battle of life,
Just starting or nearing its close,
This motto aloft. in the midst of the

But, brother, just honestly try
To accomplish your best. In whatever
occurs,

The Time 70 Spray Trees.
Prof. Card. of Nebraska, makes the
following recommendation In recent
bulletin:
Spray with Paris green as generally
recommended. about one week after
after the blossoms fall. or In time to
get the calyx cups well filed with the
poison. so that they may close over
and hold II there.
Spray again with Paris green and
bordeaux mixture combined or with
Kerosene emulsion about June /. or,
better still. observe carefully and ap-
ply this when eggs ure being laid In
abundance on the leaves.
Scrape the bark and place paper
bands around the tree about the last
Of June. when the larvae are beginning
to leave the apple to pupate. Examine
these two or three times a week apart,
and destroy the insects found beneath
them.
II these methods are not wholly ef-
fective. owing to the proximity OF neg
lected orchards or from an unusual
abundance Of moths. later spraying.
with either Paris green and bordeaux
mixture or kerosene emulsion. may do
some good. but apparently can not be
expected to be wholly effective. Late
spraying with arsenites Is much more
likely to injure the foliage than ear
lier applications.
II larvae are still found in the apples
In any considerable numbers toward
the end Of the season place paper
bands about the tree about Sept or
little earlier. Leave them there un-
til the fruit is gathered from the or
chard; then remove and destroy the
larvae alternating beneath them.

Keeping Farm Accounts.

The Census Bureau has sent out a
circular requesting farmers to be pre-
pared to answer correctly the various
questions they will ask when taking
the census, In regard to the amount
they produce Of the various farm crops,
including milk. butter, cheese, eggs
and poultry. Upon many of the lead
Ing crops. probably. they will be able
to make returns very near the exact
amount, but upon those we have
named, we think many Of them will
guess fearfully wild unless they have
some figures to refresh their memory.
And we think they are apt to underes-
innate such things. especially when
questions are asked by government
official We do not know whether they
fear that too favorable report will
result in increased taxation. or 1t Is a
habit, but their answers are not the
same stories as their boasts of good
crops when they meet other farmers
at the village grocery. There has been
some comment upon the estimates Of
growing crops sent out by the Agricult-
ural Department being less than the
reports after harvesting. but we have
little doubt that they are founded on
the reports or estimates given by the
growers themselves. The blame is with
the farmers. who are apt to declare
rather poor crop to be the poorest they
ever saw, and a good crop to be the
biggest ever known. 1t may be an un-
conscious exaggeration, and the best
cure for 1t would be system of book
keeping that would show actual re-
sults.-American Cultiyator.
How to Fumigate Poultry House.
The poultry-keeper who whitewashes
his henhouse four times. year need
have no fear of 1t becoming infested
with insect vermin, nor will it be neces-
sary for him to fumigate it, as there
will be no object in doing so, since there
will be no insect life to destroy. But
the owner Of a poultry house that needs
fumigation should set about it in the
following way: Remove all nests,
perches and everything that is portable.
Put pound of sulphur in an iron pan
with some burning Goals, In the middle
Of the house. Then close up the doors,
windows and all other openings, and
let them remain so for two or three
hours. Afterward paint the roosts and
nest boxes thoroughly with coal tar, and
whitewash the house both inside and
out with lime. A spraying pump Is
very useful to get the limewash into
the crevices in the roosts and walls. and
It is beneficial to add some carbolic acid
to the limewash. Once house Is thor
oughly freed from vermin it Is easy to
keep 1t so by attending to 1t regularly
and taking the precautionary measure
Of frequent limewashing. = Kansas

Ii Is well known tnat Wnere bees

sion for them to swarm. Though there
will be new colonies formed, instead
Of flying away to seek new homes
they will continue in the same neigh

honey. an amount that no single swarm

mountain are only open on the river,

Little Life Lesson.

The lessons of life seem 80 hard and
unkind when we are young and when
we expect happiness as our rightful
due. Happiness seems 80 natural to
us! 1t must be eventually the nor
NAL condition. But we have to attain
to it by what we do down here.
Misery is such wretched surprise for
the young! They resent it, and yet,
in way, expect it to last forever.
When a young girl is unhappy she
cannot imagine herself ever feeling
otherwise than sad-perhaps even bit
ter.
But when we have learned our les
son, at fifty, let us say, there is a
serenity of patience that spares us
many pang, a mild aquiescence in
the "slings and arrows" of misfortune
that are not bad compensations for
the "wild freshness of morning"
The heart has time, then, to keep
young and to sing its robin song of
cheerfulness in winter days.
