AGRICULTURAL BRIEFS.

Teach the Young pigs to eat as soon as
possible.
New ground reasonably rich is best
Tor turnips.
In horses bad dispositions are gen
orally the result of bad management and
handling.
Keep plenty of help, so that the har-
vesting and storing away of the crops
may be done properly.
Clear salt and water on old sores, har-
ness and saddle gals often cure them
where nothing else win.
In nearly al cases it will be found
best to continue the cultivation of the
corn until il can be considered made.
Feed the sows after narrowing upon
foods calculated TO produce a large flow
Of rich milk. Increase as their neces-
sites require
All profit that comes from a dairy, COW
or one being fattelSd is derived from the
food over and above that which is ueces-
sary to sustain life.

WORKING IN THE DARK.

The day was drawing TO a close
Yet Ger the task / bent my head;
The seam was long. the time was short,
My needle still must ply the thread.
Go fetch the light" kind voice said:
The day is done. the night draws near.
But faster still the needle few
The bidding sweet l would not hear
AT last twas finished and l rose
And folded neat the dainty work,
So satisfied and glad, perchance,
That my duty did not shirk.
But when the searching light next day
Revealed my stitches gaping wide,
With naught Of evennesS or grace,
My wretched heart lost all its pride.
All, had 1 only brought the light
To help me with the weary seam.
The gentle monitors sweet voice
Came to my mind as from dream.
o Thou Who art the only light
OF this great world of toll and strain,
May we but take Thee TO our tasks,
And they need not be done again.

GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY,
One Way of Inducing Children to
Work Contentedly and Hap
PLY on the Old Farm.

! AS usual, there is loud complaint from
farmers that the children brought up on
the farm are getting uneasy and want to
try their wings elsewhere. This is not to
be wondered at when these young people
hear and read of what is going on in the
world. The monotony of country life
seems unbearable to them, especially
when from the farm they obtain only
plenty of hard work, the food they eat
and the clothes the wear True, one
may say that is about all anyone gets
but OF life, but if we can plan some way
by which the young people can make a
start for themselves they will be much
more contented
The Indianapolis News thinks that
poultry offers a way of trying out the
feeling of the young folks at small ex-
pense. Give them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in year or two they will
have become reconciled to country life
and be willing to make il their future or
they will have shown their utter lack OF
adaptability for it. in which case the
best thing for them and for the parent
Is to let them leave the farm and take
up the work for(which they are better
fitted, but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving then
a chance to DO for themselves on The
farm and show what is In them

He was between the two animals, and

the lion was not to be bluffed and

SOW. BACHELDER'S VIEWS.
He Demands National and State Aid
for Roads as a Matter of JUS
tice to Farmers.

New Hampshire is one of the states
which is making rapid strides in the i'm
provement of her roads. Gov. Bachel-
der, of that state-and he is also an Off
Ger of the National Grange-is very en-
thusiastic advocate of road improve
ment In a recent address he said:
THE development and prosperity of
any state or nation depend in some de-
gree upon the transportation facilities
provided; and such facilities include
not only our rivers and harbors and our
great railway and steamboat COM
panies, but also the highways over which
all our products and all our people are
transported
THE important matter now before the
friends of good roads is to arouse the
people to realization of their respon-
sibility in securing favorable state and
national legislation on the subject. The
small pittance appropriated for the use
| of the good roads bureau of the depart
, ment of agriculture is entirely out of
proportion to the money appropriated
for other objects of a public nature
! when their relative importance is con-
! sidered
Another important matter is the con-
, struction of roads adapted to the needs
, OF travel over them. Much harm has
, come to the good roads movement IN
| some sections of the country through the
advocacy of more expensive roads than
the resources of the people would war
| rant and demand. Costly stone roads
are economical upon portions of our
hioh h,rf
fact that there is a vast mileage of roads
| that could be permanently improved by
| the judicious expenditure of a compare
lively small sum of money per mile.
We should give due prominence to this
TACT in considering the matter from
| state or national standpoint
