MY VALENTINE

My kitty has soft brown eyes.

 And hasn't a bit of "Go." My Kitty is sweet and dainty,
 With the grace of woodland flower. That will grow in Dame Natures gar
 den.
 But dies in My Lady's bower. And to place my gentle Kitty
 By the side of the girls with the "Go," Is like planting a woodland violet In the midst of sunfower row. And my little brown-eyed maiden Is the only girl for me. So I've sent Dan Cupid to ask her If my valentine she'll be. H. NJ P.

A YOUNG ROMANS SACRIFICE.
A TRUE STORY.

Once upon time, many hundred
years ago, when Rome was mistress
of the world, and the Romans were
Drawer and stronger than any one
else, there lived boy of thirteen,
whose name is still remembered.
Lucius Valerius was fond of his les
sons, but most of all did he love
poetry; so, although he was only
thirteen years old, he made up his
mind that he would try to win the
gold medal and ivory Tyre which were
given every five years to the boy who
should write the best poem. Lucius
not only tried, but he succeeded, and
one day, before all the school and a
number of visitors, the prizes were
presented to him. Now, besides the
medal and the Tyre, which every one
who gained them valued very much,
there was something else which they
thought far grander. A statue of the
prize winner was placed in the school
and crowned with laurel. You may
imagine how the boys heart beat with
JOY as he saw the judge step forward
to crown his statue, but just at that
moment Lucius caught sight of a
young man who had also tried for the
prize, and who looked most downcast
and miserable. Lucius sprang for
ward, seized the laurel-crown, and
put it on the head of the poor fellow
who had been unsuccessful. "You
are more deserving of it than 1 am. -
he said; 81 obtained it more on &C.
account of my youth than nv merit.
and rather as an encouragement than
as a reward" Then the people set
up great shout of joy, for they knew
that noble heart is worth more than
all the poems in the world, and
they gave a new name to Lucius
Valerius il memory of that day. So
Lucius was always called Pudens,
which means modest, and you may be
sure he valued his new title as much
as he deserved it, for "kind hearts
are more than coronets. "-,Selected.

WET WEATHER CROPS.

The continued unreasonable wealth
er threatens many Vermont dairy
men with partial failure of the corn
crop, and many are querying what
they may do to provide a sufficient
supply of forage for their COWS
during the coming winter. 1t is now
too late to plant corn, in most por-
tions of the state, with much hope of
maturing it. If some small variety of
Canadian corn be planted on ex-
ceptionally early pieces, and if frosts
hold off late in the fall, success may
be attained. The chances are, how
ever, against rather than in favor of
late planting on the generality of
farms.
AS makesbifts in this contingency
the experiment station advises that
corn be sown thickly, broadcast, with
view of haying it; or that millet,
either the Hungarian or Japanese
varieties, be grown.
The sowing of corn for hay is not
an uncommon practice in the north
west. Corn hay makes a very
nutritious and well relished forage,
and considerable amount of diges-
tible food may be grown in this way.
The curing of corn hay is somewhat
difficult but not impossible in the
sunny days of late August and early
September.
The millets are we'll known plants
which make quick, rank growth of
fairly nutritious forage. They may be
either put in the silo, hayed or fed
green. AS rule, however, millet
sllage is not success. There are
few farms in Vermont where Hun
garian or Japanese millet may not be
sown and brought to the proper stage
for haying in fifty, sixty, or, at the
most, seventy days. Millet should be
cut before the seeds begin to harden
and before the stocks begin to get
woody. When the plant reaches this
stage of it's growth the hay is
unpalatable and yields poor returns.
About half bushel of seed may be
used to the acre.
1t should be said once more that
these procedures are simply make
shifts and unsatisfactory as compared
with corn grown in normal year.
Many Vermont farmers, however, are
up against a hard proposition this
year, and cannot do as we'll as if
nature had favored them.

Oiling Harnesses.

Harness that is kept we'll oiled will
last one-fourth longer than the same
will when neglected. Winter is
favorable time for this work. To do
the work we'll one should have a room
warmed by stove and a boiler of hot
water handy. Neatfoot oil is the best
to use for this purpose. The harness
should first be taken apart so that each
piece and strap will be by itself. In
taking it apart observe how each strap
is placed in the buckle and loop. Be-
fore oiling, all parts of the harness
should be thoroughly washed in warm
water and soap. All dirt should be
removed and every strap and the tugs
soaked in warm water. The room in
which this should be done should be at
a temperature of so degrees, or warm
er. The object of this high tempera-
ture is to keep the oil fluid, 30 that it
shall penetrate the leather. With the
pores of the leather opened by warm
water and the high temperature, this
will be an easy matter. The oil is best
applied with soft wooden rag, and
should be well rubbed into the leather.
The oiled pieces should be put on
pole and allowed to dry over night.

OUR FARMERS.

The Experiment Station at Burlng-
ton has just issued three bulletins
aggreg ating over one hundred pages.
They describe commercial fertilizers,
Vermont grasses and clovers, and a
plant poisonous to horses. No. SO
discusses the commercial fertilizer
ira de of the state, dis closes the char
acter of the goods sold, and advises
concerning purchases, etc. No. "a,
on grasses and clovers, is copiously
illustrated. 1t describes and values
the sundry hay and pasture grasses
and clovers, discusses the weed
grasses and methods of combating
them, considers the cultivation OF
grasses and clovers and tells how to
recognize them. 1t will be found to
be an extremely helpful and sugges-
tive pamphlet. No. 95 describes the
common horsetail plant now being
harvested in the hay in many por-
tions of this state. This plant has
probably killed hundreds of Vermont
horses. One horseman, who in the
last few years has lost several horses,
seeing the preliminary notice of this
bulletin in Vermont paper, investi-
gated his hay, found the plant therein
and feeds it no longer.
All three bulletins will be sent with
out charge to any person who re-
quests them. Back issues for several
years will likewise be forwarded on
request. The applicants name will,
if be requests it, be placed on the
mailing list for future issues. A postal
card addressed to the Experiment
Station, Burlington, VT, stating de-
sires, will be sufficient.

BOYS AND GIRLS.
One of His Names,


Never a boy had so many names;
They called him Jimmy, and Jim and
James,
Jeems and Jamie; and we'll he knew
Who it was that wanted him, too.
The boys in the street ran after him,
Shouting out loudly, "Jim! Hey, J-i-m!"
Until the echoes. little and big,
Seem'd to he dancing Jim Crow jig,
And little Mabel out in the hall,
Jimmy, Jimmy" would sweetly call.
Until he answered and let her know
Where she might find him; she loved him
so.
Grandpa, who was dignified,
And held his head with an air of pride,
Didn't believe in abridging names,
And made the most that he could of
"J-a-m-e-s."
But il papa ever wanted him,
Crisp and curt was the summons, "Jim!"
That would make the boy on his GRAND
run
Much faster than if he said, ''My son."

HOUSEHOLD.
THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

"The Strenuous Life for Girls" is
discussed in Rarper's Bazaar, by
Henry Van Dyke, who finds that
woman loses more than she gains in
"strenuosity," which, according to
the dictionary is something eagerly
pressing or urgent, strongly insistent,
marked by Incorporating ZEAL" or
as its Greek root indicates, "strong,
hard, rough, harsh" The strenuous
life sounds like trumpet, dominant,
aesertive, militant, with tone of de-
fiance and strife. 1t is next door to a
strident life. If this is what it means
it is not natural nor desirable life
& for girls. A woman's special and in
estimable value in the world lies just
in the qualities which make her wom-
anhood. And these are things which
strenuosity must disturb, If not de-
stroy. We sometimes say of woman
that she does her work as we'll as a
man. This is not praise, but blame.
Something has been lost. Distinction
is the crown of work. Studying, or
playing, or working, she owes her
first allegiance to the ideal of her
womanhood. She can never do any
thing in the world that will be worth
half as much as what she can be. But
she can never be her best unless she
does something, and does it we'll.
When a man says that wifehood is
woman's only career, he awakens
much resentment. And rightly. 1t
is not her only career. 1t is not
career at all. 1t is an existence. 1t
is large enough to hold hundred
careers. There isroom in it for all the
Accomplishments None of the tones
of life come amiss to it, except the
sour and the strenuous. 1t is long
way from such womanhood to the
Strenuous life-the life that strives
Ind makes it's voice heard in the
btreets, the life that grows sharp with
rivalry, hard with conflict, that runs
painting after the latest fad, and turns
anguidy lfrom lowly tasks and plain
pleasures, caring more for notoriety
han gratitude, ready to sacrifice
peace for publicity-the life that
mikes lot of noise, but little music.
A strong, clever woman may make
per way in such life. But certainly
he can never hold cher own" The
trenuous life for girls is like martial
music for violins. They can play it,
nut it does not sound well.

Some Hot Weather Hints.

II you are fond of drinking ice water

o break off this pernicious habit.
although hot food is cooled and cold
pod is heated in their passage to the

hook the gastric nerves but you also
etard digestion until the food or
rink is warmed to the temperature

We do not need as much meat in

When you are thirsty very weak
is better than cold water. Oat-
leal water, either uncooked or made
to a thin Cruel, is more sustaining
