HEARD BY AN OLD MAN.

here IN my easy chair l sit.
An old, old man before the FIRE
Deaf to all sounds of every day
ana dead to every past desire.
Perhaps the failing outward sense
QWckens the spirits inner ear,
For sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds I hear.
All this long afternoon l heard
The brook in the old orchard sing
just as 1t used to, on the farm,
when hrst the grass grew green in
spring.
You know that gurgling, gladstone
The voice of water wild with glee
When it has burst it's icy bond
And finds itself alert and free.
The BIRDS too, in the beech-tree grove,
L hear them, as in days of yore
When L went forth at break of day.
Gall through the sunrise hush once
more.
And that one bird that nestled high
L thought she had a silver throat
A trickle of clear melody,
1t thrills me off, her slender note
My mothers voice. too-oh, so plain
1t calls across the fading light:
Come, children, time to leave your play;
Come in the house. it's almost night
Sometimes when you have left the room,
And l alone am sitting here,
[ speak the answer right out loud,
Yes, yes, I'm coming, mother dear"
Then there's one song comes back to me,
Your mother sang it, my dear wife,
A slender girl dressed all in white,
First time saw her in my life.
She used to carol like bird
IT'S an old-fashoned song, I know,
But day by day 1 hear her still
Singing John Anderson, my Jo."
/ sometimes think that when | go
To join her in the angel throng
Her voice, above the heavily hymn
Will rise once more in that loved song.
An old, old man-and common speech
But seldom reaches my dulled ear:
Yet sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds 1 hear.
Youths Companion.

The factories, the mines, the work

lishments of our country TEEN with

Waudby in an article on Child Labor
in Leslie's. Some of them are Of the
age required by the laws of the State,
but innumerable thousands are much
below the limit these statutory laws
provide for, and far, far below the
limit which the laws Of nature de-
mand There are few branches of
our great industrial life which are not
overcrowded with child labor. l have
been informed by William G. Hunt,
chief statistician for population, that
the report Of the census Office for the
year 1900 when issued, will show
that for the mainland Of the United
States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii,
there were, approximately, one mil
lion seven hundred and fifty thousand
persons from 10 to Is years of age,
inclusive, reported as engaged in gain
full occupations.

Tile Draining,

Tile draining will undoubtedly be
given more attention in the future than
it has been during the past. On land
that is naturally wet the drains will
pay for themselves in two years, provid-
ing there is good outlet and they are
properly put down. 1t frequently hap
pens that thorough system of drain
age Is not necessary, providing the
sloughs are under drained. These are
generally the most productive parts Of
the farm when they are brought into
condition by removing the water. On
level lands one can make considerable
fall by cutting the drains more shallow
at the upper end. Thing out land under
any conditions is expensive work, and
it will generally pay to employ the SER
vices of surveyor, providing the own
err Is not expert in the use Of the level.
In the past there has been considera BILE
waste on account Of using small tile.
FOur-inch tile seem to be the smallest
recommended for lateral drains. Out
lets should be built up with brick or
stone so as to keep them in good shape.

clearwater for Swine.


1t is a general custom among farm
ers to feed the dishwater to swine, the
idea being that they are thus given the
greasy water that comes from the dish
es used on the table This plan might
be valuable were it not that soap is
used in dishwashing, and soap OF a
cheap quality, as a rule. 1t does not
seem as If it were necessary to use
the dishwater for swine, and the prac-
tice shonld cease. Where there is
dairy of considerable size on the farm
and the separation is done by hand,
the skim milk can be used to advant-
age In mixing the bran or grain fed
to the swine or the water used for
cleansing the milk pals can be used
for this purpose, and would be much
better than using the dishwater. If 1t
were possible to wash off the grease
from the plates in clear, warm water
which did not contain any soap, then
there would be no objection to the use
of dishwater, but it is doubtful if the
value Of this water would pay for the
trouble In thus obtaining it. If the
plates from the table were Scraped
clean of grease and all the particles
thus gathered fed to the laying hens
the returns would be more profitable
than when fed to swine,
