and by climbing and Jumping from
crag to crag l made rapid progress
until suddenly found myself in trap
below high rocky ledge, from which
had jumped, and upon which I could
not possibly climb again. 1 could pass
but few steps to the right or to the
left, and below me was a bank of soft,
lar and sixteen or eighteen feet high.
I carefully surveyed the situation ard
found that my only chance Of escape
was to go down over that wet and
greasy bank. So, after an hours medi-
tation upon the vanities Of cleanliness,
l let all holds 60 and slid down. Then
as soon as 1 could collect my senses
enough to begin to make calculations
as to where | was, l found myself sit
ting like one in a bath tub, but in a
pool of the nastiest, greasiest, milk
colored slush that could be imagined,
and looking down to the cottage by the
Mill Creek Falls l saw that Virginia
girl that had been haunting my Wis.
ions for the past three hours, and she
was looking up at me. | got up ard
tried to make believe that 1 was al;
here or accounted for, and when I had
hurried away from the gaze Of the
girl I examined myself very deliber
ttely and found that it was actually
necessary that [ should hunt a large
spring and strip off all my clothes and
wash. Now | found this pretty cold
January job, but the washing Of my
body in cold spring water was not all
of it, for l had to wash my clothes and
rend them for an hour before | could
put them on; then | had to put them
on dripping wet.
But that sweet Virginia girl l had
INDUCED in fond vision of another
meeting and a better acquaintance on
my way home
l heard her brother twice call her Mar
gurete,
So bright and modest and so serenely
sweet.
l loved her though I'd met her never
before.
She talked so sweet to me from her
cottage door.
Once since l saw her vision at me poking,
While l in that nasty pool sat soaking;
And now ever since that most unlucky
slide,
My love for her has been subdued by my
pride;
And though | believed she loved and
pitied me,
l had not the courage to pass that way
and see.

Should Appeal to suburbanites.

groves in Florida, says the Buffalo En-

Good Prices for Truck.

With close observation of your neigh
boris who are now engaged In the fruit
and vegetable industry, you may easily
see their checks received for fruit ship
ments are simply fabulous-like this:
Net price peaches, 1886 per bushel :;
early apples, $3.50 per bushel; black
berries, $3.50 net per 24-Quart case; red
raspberries, So per 24-pint case; green
beans, s. per bushel. Those prices,
have Klondike sound for wealth. But
they are true. Now why not you COM
mence to provide yourself with a few
acres of each if you have not already,
and if you already have the varieties
planted try and give them extra cultiI

When to Pick Fruit.

Many growers do not know the prop
er time to pick fruit-that is, the stage
Of maturity that puts 1t on the market
in good condition. Very often one
sees fine large pears and peaches that
are rotting when the packages are
opened because the fruit has been al
lowed to get too ripe on the tree be-
fore picking. Sometimes when the
early market is slack there is a de-
mand for immature fruit for cooking
purposes. The first early summer APP
pies may be profitabsy picked when
they get big enough for cooking. This
will be when the seeds are still white
and before the fruit shows signs of
coloring. The market is always looking
forward to the earliest apples. DeS-
sert and winter apples should not, be
picked until we'll cOlOred. Those that
stay on the tree late are better favored
than those picked early. Winter apples
will usually keep better If allowed to
ripen in the cool weather Of the fall.
The ease with which some fruit sepa-
rates from the twig by a nip sideWiSe
gives good idea of maturity. Apples
should not be separated from the twig
by a straight pull, but by twist up
ward or sidewise. Peaches are picked
for market when they show the clear,
bright colors. They should not be.
pinched to test maturity. The expert
enced picker has a way of rolling the
~ IL l.
peach and the feel means the same to
him as grain in the sack does to the
miller's hand.-W. n. HUT.

Short Meter Sermons.

Character never is complete.
Hypocrisy is the gold of virtue used
to gid vice.
The man who does nothing does much
harm.
One thing believed is worth a million
things denied.
A good home is the best sermon
about heaven.
No man is refined until he is purged
of selfshness.
You cannot attain purity by any
process of polishing.
If you cannot learn humility you
cannot bear elevation.
The man who Is ashamed of his re-
ligiOn has none to boast Of.
Laughing at little trials is more than
half of winning great triumphs.
There is no virtue in doing right in
such a way as to lead others wrong.
Light-hearted people are those who
always are looking for the sunshine.
Many think they are doubling who
only are lodging the duty Of thinking.
It's always a surprise to those who
nurse their woes how soon they grow
up.
Renouncing our own sins is better
preaching than denouncing the ways Of
others.
If you make your mind a cesspool
your life certainly will have an evident
i'll OdOr.
There already are too many trying
to clean the world by sweeping it with
Il searchlight.
The world has suffered a good deal
less from thinking without saying than
from saying without thinking.
It's no use inviting man to rest on
the gospel Of peace if you hand it to
him on the end of a pitchfork.
When once you hare tasted Of the
happiness of making Others happy you
will cease to worry about heaven.

Recreation in Farm Life.

Some of our farmers wonder why
their sons have a desire to quit the
farm, preferring town or city life The
cause is with the farmer himself. With
the boy on the arm it is perpetual toll
in good weather, all through the busy
season, and perpetual loneliness in bad
weather and most of the winter season.
The time when the farmer has leisure
is at the very time when they can not
get away from home on account Of
their isolation and bad roads. The boy
hungers for company and his heart re-
volts against this uncomfortable loneli-
ness, and, to free himself from it,
walks miles through the mud to spend
an hour at the country store. We are
glad to note that in some sections of
our country the young people Of both
sexes have broken through these bar
riers and established farmers clubs
and little societies of one sort or an
other.-Jackson Herald.

A physician of my acquaintance
gives me little story which is at once
pathetic and humorous, aprOpos Of the
passing away of the veterans Of the
Civil War.
He always found a griZzled old pa
tent of his porting over a Grand Army
paper published at Washington, and
not entirely unconnected with the pen
sion business. do you never get tired
Of reading that paper?" he asked.
"Why. no. said the veteran. Il like
the war stories, and when l get through
with them l fall back ON these lists of
names of the old boys; l didn't know
so many of 'em, but we fit on the same
side I never get done wondering how
they keep fallin' out of line. You see
the stars opposite their names. There
is more of 'em every month"
what does the star mean|
"Oh, that means deceased You see,
when a soldier dies he is deceased.
Deceased means dead"
well, if anybody else dies isn't he
deceased"
"Why, no, Of course not" rejoined
the old man with voice and look blend
ing pride In his uniform and pity for
such ignorance. Nobody except sol
diers deceases. Only old soldiers are
deceased"

do He can do Himself and do them
much better than we can But He
wants our love and He cannot get that
II we withhold it from Him. And why
does He want it? Because He loves
US.
A husband who really loves his wife
Is not satisfied if she merely gets his
meals, makes the beds, sweeps the
house and mends his clothes, or even il
she does all the useful things possible,
II her heart is all taken up by the chill
dren or by her friends. He wants his
right place in her heart; nothing else
will do instead.
1t is the same with God. No amount
Of good or useful work that we can do
for the welfare Of others or the good
OF the State or of society or the up-
hitting OF humanity or anything else
satisfies God unless we begin it by Civ
Ing Him our hearts. If we never come
near Him, never have word or
prayer to say to Him, have our pleas
ure and JOY altogether outside of Him,
We may be busy from morning to night
and it will count for nothing with Him.
10 accomplish anything of solid or
permanent value in His sight we must
do it to please Him. And everything
which displeases Him we must avoid
for His sake. Our souls must be pure
and clean in His sight. If we want to
uplift humanity we must begin by up
lifting ourselves. Loving God will up
lift us; without that nothing else will.
This does not mean that we are to
sit down and do nothing. Indeed we
cannot fall back on that even if we
would. Most of us have to be more or
less strenuous if we are to live and
God wills that we should live. But
there is no danger of our being lazy
if we really do love God, for there is a
great deal that He has for us to do.
But we must do it for His sake, and
the first and most important work is on
ourselves.
The one thing necessary, the will of
God for us, is that we should be in
union by love with Him. If we are
really in this union everything else
will follow. If we are not, nothing else
that we do is of any use to Him or to
ourselves.

Our best dairymen have long ago re-
allied the true feeding value of skim
milk. AT the Kansas station the re-
suits of an experiment with thirteen
groups of ten calves each showed that
when calves are worth $50 per 100,
skim milk is worth nearly 20 cents per
100; with calves at 81 per 100 it Is
worth 80 cents, and at So per 100 worth
40 cents. The above experiment was
conducted in a practical way, and the
results show that the average value Of
skim milk for calf feeding provided
this product is sweet, fresh skim milk,
fed right. Skim milk fed to calves
from g centrifugal separator, such as.
is now within the reach of every farm
er, fed sweet and fresh within an hour
after it is separated, is worth at least
twice as much as ordinary skim milk
derived from deep setting. open setting
or the skim milk from a creamery.

Feeding Steers.

Prof. Vernon of the New Mexico ex-
pertinent station reports the relative
value of feeding range steers ON winter
rations of alfalfa hay alone, and sup
plemented by a light grain ration of
bran and cracked wheat 1.3 was tested
with two uniform lots of five 2-year-old
range steers each. On alfalfa and grain
the net profit was calculated to be
S7.42 per ton; on the hay, and on the
hay alone, $40.

David McClary recently took his
new steam pillow down to the Brevoort
farm, a short distance south of the city,
and began blowing patch of 800 acres
of ground for Mr.. BrevOort. Mr.. Nc
Clary at first wanted to pillow 200 acres
of his own land in Illinois, but the man
ager of the machine refused to take the
heavy thing across the bridge, the en-
CINE weighing thirteen tons. Mr.. Nc
Clary, it is said, will get 81 an acre
for blowing the Brevoort land, and it
is said that the machine will pillow
twenty-five acres in twelve hours, or
fifty acres every day and night. At
the present time Mr.. McClary has his
hands full, as it is said he now has
$500 worth of blowing ahead of him.

Making Loyal Men of Rebels.

was visited by a gentleman requesting
permission to go beyond our lines. He
had never taken up arms against the

those who had, and admitted that he

patriot, will my conscience allow me
to grant you favors which are due only

Of course there was nothing further
to be urged; the baffled Rebel took up
his hat and left. The general turned
toward those who were sitting in his
tent, and quietly remarked:

els fully sensible of how much they
have lost by their rebellion, you have
taken the first step toward making

transverse clearer bar is arranged be-
low the tines of the fork, guides on
each end of the bar partly encircling
the end prongs, permitting the bar to
slide freely on the prongs. Pivoted on
the handle of the fork is a bar which
connects with other bars extending to
the cleaning bar, and to a sleeve which
slides on the handle. By moving the
sleeve on the handle the cleaning bar
slides over the prongs of the fork, re-
moving anything adhering to them.

For a permanent pasture, timothy,
red top and orchard grass are gener-
ally used, as these grasses seem to hold
out as well as any. Other kinds may
be added, if preferred, but the three
mentioned should never be omitted.
The fall or early spring is an excellent
time for reseeding the pastures, but in
Sc doing the farmer should use clean
seed, use it plentifully, and scratch it
in if possible. One of the best plans
to assist the pasture is to SOW white
clover seed on the bare places, as it
will make growth where some seeds
