The Goose-AIarm.

There are burglar alarms to notify
the householder when burglar is
seeking entrance, but an Illinois farm
er has proved that there Is something
cheaper and just as good. If a goose
Is tied up by the leg in front or rear
of house at night she will set up a
vigorous cackle If anybody comes
sneaking about. Her hearing is acute
and her eyesight sharp, and she is bet
ter on the watch than a dog.
The farmer made 80 different ex-
periments with the goose alarm, and
in not one single instance did the
goose fail to announce that there was
some one moving about who ought
to be attended to. If you are afraid
of burglars, buy a goose. II you can
afford it, buy two of them, so that
one may help the other cackle.

And bids the Storm King enter in

And glistens on Dame Natures breast.

And CLINT In jeweled eestasies
MARCH
Wild stormy month when Wind Kings
reign
And earth is set with slush and stain,
When air and cloud and changing sky,
Foretell that Spring is drawing nigh.
APRIL
When brooks break loose with babbling
cry
And gurgle love songs to the sky,
When naples bud and fragrant breeze
Comes creeping softly through the trees.
MAY.
Then Hebe walks where primrose grow,
Where myrtle blooms and cowslips blow;
With dancing feet and glowing face,
Osr greening hills, she trips apace.
JUNE.
o month of June, when birdlings mate
And brides their VOWS enunciate;
All, balmy month, when Natures loom
Weaves fragrant blossoms into bloom.
JULY.
Where cannons roar and war gods rave,
The stars and stripes shall lead the
brave
In peace where'er that flag floats free,
There is the soil of liberty.
AUGUST.

Your mood upon my spirit plays
] long to bask, with dreamy book,
In languid ease beside the brook.

Along the summers dusty track,

And hail thy promise of the Fall.

OF rosy crests and woodland thrills,
OF clustered fruit and garnered field
When God has blest us with his yield,

Blow ripping crests upon the rill,
