To this and other unexpected information the
tempter says:
Il have seven ships that have just sailed in.
And seven at sea,
Two hundred and ten fne young men,
Ali for to wait thee
Unable to resist this alluring offer, the unfaithful
wife of the house carpenter yields to the tempter:
"Oh, she called her baby to her lap,
And gave it kisses three,
Saying: Stay at home, sweet little babe,
And keep your father compa-nee"
Having sailed away with her first love, the
young mother becomes sadly remorsefu and
having been asked by her lover if she weeps for
fear or because of the possessions she has left
behind, she says;
Il do not weep for my house and lands
Nor do l weep for fear;
But do weep for the little babe,
That left when sailed on here
Then comes the tragedy to develop in all
of these old ballads, for we are told that
They had not sailed two days or
am sure it not three
When the ship sprung leak and they all down,
To the bottom of the sea-hee-heel
Another ballad sung by Old Nance related
in blood-curdng lines how young Fanny
Moore" had been murdered by her lover who
got his come-uppance," however, for we were
told that
Oh, he was hanged by the door,
For a-spilin' of the blood of the fair Fanny Moore
MS was a just return Tor his having
Sent her body a-foating down the silvery tide.
A ballad having many varying versions in
high favor and sung in many parts of
country century and more ago well at
much later period. No doubt elderly readers of
this will recall hearing it sung in their childhood.
1t usually appeared under the title of Spring
field Mountain although sometimes it was given
the effective title of The Pizen Serpent,
or Sarpent," as Old Nance called it. a common
version of this ballad began follows:
On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
likely youth who known full we'll
Ri tn da day, ii tn da day,
Ri tn da day, ri tn da day.
One summer morning he did go
Down in the meadow for O NOW.
He had not moved half re-ound the field
When pzen sarpent bit his heel.
He lay right daoun upon the ground,
Shut up his eyes and looked all around
They sent right in for his Sally dear.
Which made him feel so mighty queer.
"Oh, Johnny dear, why did you go
Down in that medder for mow?''
"Oh Sally dear don't you know
It's daddy's grass and it must be mowed?"
In version of this ballad the sweetheart sent

for named Molly instead of Sally and we are
told of the victim of the ''pizen sarpient'
He tux the rptyle in his hand
And straightway Molly Bland:
oh Molly, Molly, here you
pzen sarpent what bit mel"
Then Molly Bland she squatted down,
And sucked the pizen from the wound;
But oh, she had rotten tooth,
The venom soon affected both.
Oh then they were all spotted Ser
With all the colors that the sarpient wore;
They laid them both upon bed,
And they sweled up and d--edl"
In still another version of this distressing tale
we are told:
When this young gave up the ghost,
He up to Abraham did post,
A-crying all the way he
Oh crewel, crewel, Crewe sarpient!'
A ballad entitled Young Charlotte had wide
popularity in country for many years and no
doubt it still is sung in isolated instances. 1t
gives in twelve of eight lines each the story
of vain young who went to ball with
her lover bitter winter night thinly dressed,
with the result that she froze to death the way
to the inn in which the ball was held. We are told
in this ballad that
Young Charlotte lived by the mountain-sde,
In a lone and dreary spot.
No dwellings there for miles around,
Except her fathers cot.
And yet many winters
Young SWANS would gather there,
For her father kept a social board
And she very fair
When young Charlotte and her lover Charles
started their ride of fifteen miles to the ball
that winter night CHAR tie wore only her snowy
silken cloak, and we told that
Her mother said: my daughter dear,
This blanket round you fold,
For tbs dreadful night abroad,
You'll take your death of cold
oh no!' young Charlotte said,
And she laughed like gypsy queen.
ITO ride in blankets mufled up
l never be seen"
When they finally reached the inn and Charles
attempted to assist Charlotte from the sleigh we
are told that
He took her hand in his. o God
Twas cold and hard as stone
He the mantle from her brow,
And the cold stars Ter her shone.
Then quickly to the lighted hall
Her lifeless form he bore
For Charlotte frozen corpse,
And words spoke more.
The shock and grief of this great that
young Charles could not survive it, and told
in the closing stanza that Charlotte and Charles
soon 'slunbered in one tomb"
The ballad of Lord Randall" gives in curious
detail the story of young poisoned for
apparent reason by his sweetheart. The ballad
begins with the return of the lover from the home
of his treacherous Polly, and his mother says
"Where have you been, Charlie o Charlie my son?
Where have you been Charlie my dear and sweet one?"
Been accounting Pretty Polly, mother-make my bed
soon;
For I'm sick my heart, and fan would lie down.
What had you for supper o Charlie my son?
What had you for supper my dear and sweet one?"
I'VE had ees fried in butter-mother make my bed soon;
For m sick at my heart, and fain would lie down"

not until he felt a smart rap on ne

CATERING TO THE MENTAL.

Not only the yellow press caters to
the desires, the present appetites Of
their readers. But the legitimate daily
caters in a different way. The person.

touch with the all absorbing subject Of
the hour. Unconsciously the whole
force Of an up-to-date newspaper,
bends and yields to- the makeup Of the

the kickina Cow.

G. Bufort. of Becker county, Mimi
esota. recently gave his method oI
managing kicking cows in the fai-
mers' Review. which is as follows:
II have tried many ways OF ty ne
kicking COW. and most of them nave
proved failures. One way, how ever
that was told me by an old farmer
has proved entirely satisfactory
Take a rope and make moose III one

thickness and should be about hve
feet long. When starting to mink
pass the rope around the cows legs
crossing it between the legs and run
ming the long end thru the loop.
The loose end should lie over the lap
of the mixer. The two loops, one
round each leg should be above the

tries to kick she will be able to push
her leg forward but short distance
and will not be able to upset the milk
pail or disturb the mixer. / MIXED
one kicking COW for several years,
and always had her tied in this way.
The rope will slip a little but not
enough to allow the cow to do any
tie COW farther down on her legs as
she will then get excited and throw
herself She does not seem to mind
the arrangement l describe above"
1t is not natural for a COW to kick
when she is being MIXED. Kicking
habits are almost invariably contract
ed on account of nistreatment ON the
part Of the dairyman and every good
COW man knows that it Is much cas-
Ter to prevent a COW from acquiring
the kicking habit than 1t is to cure
her of it after it has once been learn
ed. A heifer never begins to kick I'M
less she is afraid of something, hence
the Importance of handling a heifer
carefully and Of being kind to her at
all times. If a COW has confidence in
her master she likes to have him draw
her milk. Hence treat your heifers
with kindness from calfhood up and
avoid the necessity of having to resort
to means of keeping her from kicking
when mature.

Cuban Diarrhoea.

United States soldiers no served In
Cuba during the Spanish war know
what this disease is, and that the ordi-
nary remedies have little more effect
than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea
is almost as severe and dangerous as
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs, of Houston. Texas: Il hereby
certify that Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my
husband of severe attack of Cuban
d.arrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but
they did him no good. One bottle of

ADVANTAGES of the Silo.

Strange as it may seem the only
men who object to the silo are they
who never had one.
A. w. Litchard of New York said,
II would as soon try to farm without a
barn as without q silo," and C.. p.
Goodrich wrote, II would not take
thousand dollars for my silo If /
could not replace It," The we'll known
agricultural writer, Joseph e. Wing,
says, mo stock feeder who grows corn
can afford to ignore the silo." An
Illinois farmer and writer on agricu1-
tural topics declares his faith in silage
as follows: II am fully satisfied that
silage is a better feed and cheaper
one. than our pastures" Another
writer says: THE slio to my mind
presents so many advantages over the
system of soiling that it is bound to
eventually do away with the use of
soiling crops"
Bulletin SO, University of Wisconsin,
says: 1.-THE verdict is practically
unanimous among all dairymen who
have fed good silage that it is the best
winter feed that they ever used as
substitute for hay or corn fodder, and
that they would not think of being

ed an immense service to man in
maintaining health under those condi
lions. The silo is cheap means Of
canning corn on large scale to be
used by domestic animals at times and
in places where it could not otherwise
be had; and, because silage can be.
produced cheaper, kept longer and fed
to stock more expeditiously. it must
largely take the place Of roots wher-
ever large amounts must be stored"
All acknowledge that corn fodder
must be our principal cheap feed, and
wherever there is sufficient moisture
to grow corn without irrigation there
follows the autumn rains to spoil it
in the shock, and the winter SHOWS
to drift 1t under, hence the best of all
places to store this cheapest of all
feeds is in the silo.
