WAKING TIM {.

In the early, rosy morning there's little
one who crawls
Into bed where 1 am sleeping, and a little
moist hand fails
On my cheek and pats me fondly, causing
all my dreams to flee;
There's a little voice that sweetly-ah, so
sweetly!-calIs to me.
Gently, softly. 1 first hear it,
As if far above my head,
Calling: Papa, papa, mamma
Says Oct up, You sleepy head.
In the peaceful blissful morning. when 1
long to dream away,
There's little voice that calls me to the
duties of the day;
There are little lips that fondly, sweetly
press against my own,
And two little hands caress me till my
visions all are flown.
As the childish voice keeps drawing
Near and nearer to my bed,
calling: Papa, papa, mamma
Says Oct up, you sleep head"
There will some time be morning when no
lingering dreams are mine,
When around my neck no little sweet one 5
arms will fondly twine
I shall feel no moist hand patting lovingly
upon my cheek,
But know that l should waken if my baby
came to speak

years had robust constitutions and
therefore their chances of longevity
were exceptional. Mortality was higher
among the children and the adults, and
there was a kind of selection by death.
The man of the day is not stronger;
he is possibly weaker. But the major
ity of the people live under conditions
more favorable to longevity, because
we know what conditions to promote.
In other words, the greater eXpecta-
ton of average life is the result of the
progress of sanitary science in the
fullest sense, and not the result of an
increase of vitality. 1t is the conse-
quence of the evolution of mans intel
lect rather than of the evolution of
his body"
For these reasons M. Gle Varigny as
serts that although the chances of life
have been increased from infancy,
youth and the prime of life, they have
not increased for old age.

Cure for a Costly vice.

If a sow is inclined to eat her pigs
when narrowing it denotes a bad con-
dition of the system, probably caused
by improper feeding during the period
of CESSATION. It usually occurs when
the sow has been fed largely on corn
or other heating food. If sows have
been fed on shorts, middlings or
ground oats, and have had run on
grass, there will be little danger OF
their eating their pigs. The unnatural
appetite is caused by feverish condi-
ton of the system, and when a pig has
narrowed there is a strong desire to
devour it at once. About the only
thing that can be done is to take the
pigs away as fast as they come, and
keep them away till the sow is all
through narrowing, and then carefully
nut them with her. Sometimes feed
of meat will satisfy the sow.-Prairie

Fottening Hogs on wheat.

It is an old saying that necessity is
the mother of invention, and it is fully
illustrated among many farmers in the
case of fattening hogs, says Texas
Stockman. 1t has always been held
that corn is an absolute essential for
fattening hogs, and without it no one
could entertain the thought of raising
hogs. PROFESSIONALLY corn is very
high factor in fattening hogs, but that
it is an absolute necessity has been
disproved by the conditions now con-
fronting the farmer. Many farmers
this year have failed to raise any corn,
and of these in Hamilton county a
large number are fattening their hogs
on soaked wheat, which they have left
from last years crop, and from all APP
pearances they are fattening quite
RAPIDLY.

THE HARD-WoRKING HEN.
Rather Than the Low-Down,
COwardIy Eagle.

There are many reasons why the
hen, and not the eagle, should be the
national bird.
Among them is the growing discon-
tent our best citizens feel for the
eagle, which bird has never given
thorough satisfaction because of its
low down nature. The eagle is
cowardly creature and never makes
war except on weaker things. 1t
never earned an honest dollar in its
life, and its daily food is stolen from
some poor bird too small and too
weak to defend itself and its prop
erty. Moreover, the eagle swoops
down upon children, lambs and other
innocent things and bears them to its
home in the mountain crags.
This alone is sufficient to GUST it
from the position of being the bird
of America and prevent its picture
from continuing on our dollar, says
the Chicago Daily News.
The hen, however, is a sweet-tem-
pered, Woodworking, productive
creature. She is identified with our
home life and our domestic and ma
tional prosperity. She lays $29,000,-
900 worth of eggs every year, or four
and fraction eggs for each individual
in the land
When the eagle is loafing around
waiting to steal something to eat,
the modest hen is attending to busi-
ness. And after a life of activity,
laying eggs, cackling, laying more
eggs and Matching little chicks, she
gives up her life that the American
boarding house may thrive and wax
fat.
How much better the hen than the
bald eagle for our national bird. AS
just recognition of her supremacy
in the money producing industries
she should displace the eagle. The
domestic side of her life long since
endeared her to every home in the
union. Calm, gentle, somewhat coy,
she is nevertheless a strong, cour-
ageous, uncompromising foe to all
that the eagle is. We hope to see her
visage stamped on our moneys and
become the national bird of freedom.

Profit in Poultry Business.

To make the poultry business pay
four things are necessary. The one
embarking in it must nave natural
liking for the pursuit; must ascertain
exactly how much capital can be in
vested in the business; must make a
study Of the most approved plans and
methods of starting the enterprise,
both as to the breed of fowls selected
and the arrangements for their ac-
commodation: must ascertain the
best accessible markets and the best
manner of reaching good customers
in those markets, and then proceed to
work with patience and persistence.
In modified way the same principles
apply to poultry keeping on the farm.

Poultry House Whitewash.

Keep the poultry house white
washed outside and in, with the fol-
lowing whitewash. There is nothing
better for poultry houses. 1t is made
as follows: Slack one bushel of good
stone lime in boiling water, keeping
it covered while Stacking; strain and
add one-half peck of salt dissolved I'M
warm water; three pounds of ground
rice boiled to a thin paste; one-half
pound powdered Spanish whiting and
one pound clear glue dissolved in
warm water. Mix this all thoroughly
several days. Apply as hot as possible
with clean brush. This is good pre-
ventive against lice and mites-Com-

HHOW dull you are" said Molly.
"Say lazy" said Jack, as he
took the pipe from his mouth with a
smile that proved his words.
1t was lovely morning-clear and
fresh, the sun just strong enough to
give a comfortable sense of warmth.
The birds chirped merrily, the bees
droned, and the boat foated smoothly
along with the tide. Jack with his

PIG PEN POINTERS.

The market demands the 'long sid
ED pigs, not the short, "dumpy" kind.
Whenever hog is at standstill it is
a loss of food as well as a loss of time.
In applying the coal oil to swine to
kill lice be careful not to blister. 1t
takes hold.
The sluggishness caused by the ex-
cessive fat in young pigs is parent OF
many evils.
Age alone should not send sow to
market, but evidences of failure as a
breeder should.

so that YOU can handle them easily

vate a quiet disposition. They will

form a sort of open box. If board
roof is not desired, the top of the
stake may be anchored with fence

burdened with weights at each end,
so that they will dangle at the sides

you manage it, Molly? You might
succeed"

ly. His intentions are only too APP

'Then [ may shortly have the pleas

coolly, knocking the ashes from his
pipe. I'm sorry / said he was fool,
Molly. Perhaps it is only his man
ner and appearance. He certainly has
good taste"
Molly bit her lips and watched the
self-possessed young man with
curiosity not unmixed with mortifica-
ton. Her cOqTetry had no effect on
him this morning. A short time ago
he would have raved at the mere sug-
gestion of her marrying any one else;
only six months back he was at her
feet himself suffering the agony of
a first refusal and declaring that life
was hencefOrward a blank without
her. 1t was strange, certainly, and
just little aggravating. Molly was
not used to Indifference.
you see, Molly, you would never do
for poor mans wife," went on Jack,
in a practical voice. you have ex-
travagant tastes, and are of nature
that requires little affection. The
alteration of one would not suffice
you. You want admirers by the
score"
Molly's surprised eyes fell, and there
was little reproach in her voice when
she next spoke.
''How long have you been of this
opinion?" she said, thinking of that
wonderful evening six months ago,
when the stolid young man in front
of her was TRANSPORTED with love and
desperate in his attempts to win her.

thoughtfully, then his eyes travelled to
the pretty face underneath the shady
hat. 81 hope you have forgotten all

"O!" said Molly.
There was silence for a moment.

and dried it slowly, and Jack took up
the oars again to help him out of Ian

2 In order to get bare majority in
the Fifty eighth House Of Represen-
ttatiyes Republicans must carry not
fewer than 1874 seats in the Congress
sional elections this year. They have
1913 members in the present House,
but it is to be born in mind that the
tidal wave" conditions which pre-
vailed in the Presidential election
two years ago are not to be expect
ed at this time. Furthermore,
twenty-nine new members are to be
chosen under the reapportionment
act 1t is conceded that the Repub-
licans will lose several of the seats
they now hold. Their hope of OBJ
tanning a working majority, there
fore, depends on their ability to Sc
cure more than one-half of the new
seats. congressional Chairman
Babcock asserts that they will do
this in his statement that 204 seats
In all may be regarded as reason
ably safe. This would give the sup
porters of the administration a ma
jority of % over all their opponents,
which would probably prove sufti-
cient for all practical purposes. 1t
Is to be noted, however, that the
Republican campaign managers do
not claim any such numerical pre-
pom 1erance in the next House as
that which their party enjoys in
this. They have formally an
>nounced that they anticipate a ma
jority only about one-half as large
as the one returned in 1900. This
Is evidence that they consider the
contest likely to be close, and it
should stimulate Republican voters
in every Congressional district to
turn out in full force.
The expected closeness Of the
contests throughout the country
only accentuates the unhappy con-
dition of affairs in this State. where
the division of Republican forces is
likely to have the effect Of giving
the Congressmanship to the Demo-
Gratis. With Republican majority
in Delaware of perhaps 2, 500, it is
to be regretted that the State is not
going to help President Roosevelt
by giving him Republican Con-
