Dear St. Joseph.

Dear st. Joseph, we, thy children.
Come with tender love to thee:
And. with heart and voice united.
Ask that thou our Father be.
Thou on earth, as kind Protector
OF our Mother, Mary mild,
Vert, by reason of such honor,
Guardian of her Holy Child.
We are children. too. who love thee
Thou, dear Saint. our Patron art
BY this bond of union make us
Pure of soul and clean of heart.
Help us, Father. in our efforts;
Guide us through the cares of day;
Make us as thine own and hear us.
When to thee for aid we pray!
When for us life's close is nearing.
With thy presence come to cheer.
And. to shield us from temptation,
Be thou then, our Father, near.
Bless thy children. dear st. Joseph;
Bless us all in life and death;
And to Jesus, thee, and Mary.
May we yield our latest breath.

A Parents Plea.

Ny little boy is eight years old,
He goes to school each day;
He doesn't mind the tasks they set
They Seem to him but play.
He heads his class at raffia work,
And also takes the lead
At making dinky paper boats
But I wish that he could read.
They teach him physiology. j.:
And, oh, it chills our hearts
To hear our prattling innocent
Mix up his inward parts.
He also. learns astronomy
And names the stars by night.
OF course. he's very up-to-date,
But wish that he could write.
They teach him things botanical,
They teach him how to draw;
He babbles Of mythology
And gravitation's; law; =
-.
And the discoveries of science
With him are quite fad.
They tell me he's:a clever boy.
But. i wish that he could add.

land in Uncle Remus' Magazine. The
manner that one puts on when one
Il goes into a friends house, or when

called adjustable courtesy 1t is
not an everyday garment. and is. con-

i. No one can afford to do the injus-
tice to his better self of allowing him
self to become careless toward those
with whom he lives, or to neglect the
small sweet courtesies that should be
found in the home. if anywhere. 1t is
the home etiquette that makes the
public etiquette what it should be.
This reminder cannot be repeated too
often.
:; In many houses the men forget to
show the respect due to the wife.
mother and sisters. Parents should
train their SONS to stand when a wo-
man enters the room, and to remain
standing until she sits down. The
considerable husband rises and offers
his wife the easy chair in which he is
seated. She, knowing that he is weary
after hard day at the Office. will not
take the chair, but she will appreciate
the little attention, and love him the
better for it. In the same way it is
always the place of man to stand
aside and let woman PASS out or into
q room before himself. Going down
flight of stairs, the man goes first. so
that in case the woman trips. he may
catch her. In ascending the steps, she
precedes him.

OYSTER eHELL BARK LOUISE.
It Is a Hard Pest 20 Fight, But Keep
at It-Oestroys Shade Trees.

The oyster shell bark louise Is
hard customer. Last season two
neighbors called my attention to the
shade trees in front of their resi-
donces. They were seven black ash
trees of Is to 20 years growth. Three
trees were covered with the louise on
the trunk and out to the extreme end
of the branches. Many of the limbs
had died. and two trees had been. cut
down two years previous, having been
killed by the scale.
These trees, explains the writer in
Farm and Home, | soon discovered,
needed radical treatment in order to
be saved in one season, so / decided
on one careful application. Making
a kerosene emulsion of one to seven
strength, arming myself with scrub
brushes, a ladder and saw. started
TO work as soon as the scales began
to lift, which was the first of June.
All limbs that were dead or quite sure
10 die were sawed out to be burned,
and the remainder, with the trunk,
were scrubbed with the emulsion until
all scales were rubbed Off
The work was out of the ordinary
method for large trees, but had the
desired effect They started at once
into new growth and now are In a
very promising condition. The own.
ers were well satisfied to pay for the
work. The kerosene emulsion was
made Of one gallon kerosene, two gal.
Ions boiling water and half pound
soap, then agitated while hot for ten
minutes with a foot pump. BY adding
five gallons water | had sufficient
mixture to go over the seven trees.

Yet the speed of growth counts for

A loss of 5 TO 10 per cent may be

because he has no standard by which

Before entering on the cultivation

THE HAY CROP.
somo Suggestions for the Stacking
in the Field.

Now that we have an unusually
heavy crop of hay TO secure. some
farmers will be obliged to stack some
of 1t. A foundation can be made of
rails or poles laid close enough to
hold the hay up from the ground and
allow the circulation of air under.
meath to prevent the hay at the bot
tom gathering moisture from the
ground and spelling.
8egln the stack at the bottom con-
siA~rably smaller than yen intend to
have the body OF the stack. Lay
the hay In the middle first and pack
II very firmly and work outward until
sou get the size of the bottom. Carry
IL UP n little ways and then begin to
lay out little at each course. Keep
the middle fullest and pressed down,
but do not walk close to the side
while laying the outer course. |
usually keep away from the edge
three or four feet.
When you have enlarged the stack
as much as you intend to, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. carry II UP even
ly on the outside until you have fully
two-thirds of the hay In that you In
tend to put in that stack. and then
prepare to draw 1t In TO top out Keep
the middle fullest and we'll packed and
draw gradually until you have com.
pleted the top. Put a cap of marsh
hay on, and put on hangers. as good
hay is too valuable to be wasted by
exposing 1t to the storms.
Keep In mind from the beginning.
that IL you keep the middle of the
stack the fullest and well packed, and
the outer course looser, the hay will
droop on the outside and shed the
rains perfectly from top to bottom of
stack. A man who has n mechan.
ical turn of mind can make stack
that looks well aud In which the hay
will keep as well as in the barn. Hay
for stacking needs to be perfectly
cured before 1t is hauled.

Many Patients Cured.
This splendid place up on the Hud
son near Poughkeepsie has 2.200 pa
tients. 1t averages two new ones a
day. Some 25 per cent. of all those
received are discharged as cured But
of those who have incipient insanity
and can be taken in time the per.
centage Of cures is 20 per cent.
The Acute ward has been built for
incipient cases-those on the verge
of insanity. 1t wants people to come
of their own accord. 1t wants to get
cases before they become chronic, in
order that there may be chance to
cure.

For those who are not excitable there
are small dormitories; for other cases
there are private rooms.
In each wing there is a reception
room and dining-room and an open.air
porch. The patients sit six at a table
just as they might In hotel, at tables
decked with flowers and bearing spot
less silver and immaculate linen. The
food is far better than the average
boarding-hou provides.
There are three floors, each with
its separate rooms and sormitories,
and rooms for physicians and attend
ants. Each floor has its own sitting
room and bath arrangements for the
continuous bath. and there are also
all the other kinds of bath which any
sick person might need-douche, sitz,
needle. rain, spray and ordinary tub
and shower.
There Is a fully-equipped electric
room, too, where there are electric
baths, X rays, static treatment and

Insanity" said DR.. Harris, 'is Just
