BY an owes so Miss.

One evening our wee Mrs. Dodo
Took sweet Jeanne Doll by the hand,
And saying. Gown bedl" to her mamma
She started for Mildly Nod Land.
Leaving Tey Bear to guard fine new Jennie,
With Dowie Dimp, Jeanne, and BY
She boarded the train that was waiting,
The train that was known as "Shut Eye"
They rode over bills and through valleys,
Crossed bridges DER rivers and streams,
And whizzing through two long. dark, tunnels
Arrived at the Island Of Dreams.
She was met at the station by old Aim
OF whose rate you have heard others tell,
And when he inquired, Flows you's chilluns?"
She answered, "Theys all pity ELL"
Said Aim, LET us go and have breaksmit.
Isn't at NICE sing to dor"
Said she, "Ess. MY chilluns all ant to,
And dess at STINT so too"
Said Aim, "well have b'own cake and corn
And cossie all served hot and nice.
And then, is 90 ant to, more poncakes
May be had by just paying the price"
When breaksmit was finally over
And everything pity near gone
Saying, sank 90, she gathered her chilluns
And quickly she fastened on.
And as she walked down the long, dark, street
A goblin, both ugly and fat
Screamed "Bool" She replied. "Boo 90 own sells
Now what do you sink OF 'at?'
The next thing she saw was mummy
With ttcutty-ca running a race
And next after that was bunny
Putting toilet c'eam on his SAGE.
She heard voice say, "see me ladies'"
And turning around saw *boo
S'ingin' In sing right behind her
And when she remarked, "Howde-do?
He said, Heavens sakes, what family.
think they are really fakes"
Whereat she exclaimed. very angry,
100 mustn't say at, Heavens sakes."
So then the boo said he was lonesmit
And wanted some dinner too.
He asked her IL she didn't want some;
She said us 90 p'ease, Mr. Boo"
He parked and q table appeared there,
A sight to delight every eye
Twas loaded with all things delicious
With b'own cake and cusmit pie.
She ate up her meat and potato
or her pie just wee taste did take.
She ate all the frostng and then sighed
Its too bad can't eat my cake"
So when she had finished her dinner
She said, much obaged," and arose.
That sunny old boy, Boo, detained her
BY pushing her back with his nose.
And, "Do you speak pieces2" he asked her,
To which she just answered. Sometimes
does, but most allus doesn't
Aunt Lala speaks most of the rhymes"
Speak me one" he said. and she'd started
When postman gave her card.
She read 1t. then took out her hanky
And cried most dreadfully hard
20 dearl" she exclaimed in a moment
II surely must hurry right oss.
This card is som ley Bear and Jennie
And they's both got the hipping coss"
So, calling her chilluns about her,
She started to enter q car,
When she heard a great noise right beside her,
The worst she had heard yet by far
Then, Laura" Her papa was calling;
I'm ashamed you're still sleeping" he said
II isn't ashamed of you, papa
She answered, and climbed out of bed.

The Lead ns Agricultural journal.

Among agricultural journals there is
one that every farmer keeping cows
should not neglect to subscribe for. We
refer to Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is a
journal that is broad in its scope, being
unlike any other agricultural journal in
the thorough and practical manner in
which it deals with all farm problems
that concern the farmer keeping cows.
This journal has lively interest and
practical knowledge of all things about
the farm which plainly shows that its
editors are daily in the farm atmosphere
and confronted with the same question
to solve in the practical handling of a
farm that are before every farmer hand
ling cows. From reading the paper we
learn that it has its own dairy farm of
300 acres, that is stocked with a herd of
good dairy cows, and the whole man
agement of this farm is directly under
the editorial supervision. This keeps
the editors in touch with farm condi-
tions so that they know the subjects
that the farmer wants discussed and
they know what they are talking about
when they discussed them. In dozens
of ways Hoard's Dairyman will appeal
to one as coming closer to farm life and
farm business than any other Journal
we have seen. 1t gets right up close
you and talks good hard farm 30 Sc
about the soils and CROP nd how best
to handle them; talks bout Cnecows
and their breeding, a Ggiyes specia
attention to feeds and ieeding. It does
not have prejudice or some one breed
but talks for the dairy COW wherever
she is found; talks about the barn and
its arrangement. and in fact gives q
fund Of good sound practical informa.
ton on questions of interest to the
farmer who keeps cows, few or many.
Hoard's Dairyman tells you the things
you want to know in way that will
interest you. We notice it has no
fashion plates, puzzles or cheap stories
it is all business. 1t is published at
Fort Atkinson, Wis, and has stood as
the dairy authority of the country for
many years. There are many in this
community that will want to take this
Journal so we have secured clubbing
rate that enables us to offer a years
subscription to THE TIMES and Hoard's
Dairyman both for $3.50. Regular sub
scription price of Hoards Dairyman is

Weary Widowhood.

The death OF the husband not only
Nights the life of Bengal widow,
but makes the rest of her existence o
state Of unmitigated misery and pri-
vations. She is required to fast on
every eleventh day of the moon, when
she is debarred from all sorts of food
and drink for twenty-four hours. Her
sufferings from thirst on hot days of
GUNNER are extremely painful. but
she must go through them. The widow
must live on one meal day and
cschew meat and fish. She must re-
nounce ornaments and all sorts of lux
uries. The idea of such state of
misery Of his widow keeps a man
from hazardous enterprises, not be-
cause he Is afraid to die, but because
his death means so much misery to his
wife.-East Indian Mirror.

Aust BE Nominated and Elected
Again.

Lansing, Dec. Isl. l.. Wright
state superintendent of public in
struction, was elected to Office last
fall, but instead of being able to
lean back in his chair and heave a
sigh of relief, as do his colleagues in
the state house, he finds himself OBJ
liged to prepare for another cam
paign. His tenure of Office under the
right granted by the voters in No
vember is cut short in the bloom of
it's youthful verdancy las he might
express it, by the new constitution.
That document provides that the SUI
perintendent of public instruction
shall be elected bienially in the
spring.
The constitution makers conceiv-
ed the idea that the Office was one
which should not be soiled by con-
tact with the ordinary political cam
paigns pulled off in Michigan each
second fall and therefore provided
for electing the superintendent in
the spring with justices OF the SUI
preme court, regents of the univer-
sity and members of the state board
Of agriculture. Because of this
change in the document, however,
the officer holding the job at present
is given double dose of politics.
Mr.. Wright is not inclined to be
particularly pleased with the pros
pect, but is philosophic regarding it.,
and announces himself candidate.
With him there will be elected next
spring two justices of the supreme
court, a state board of agriculture
and two regents of the university.

Women Oyster Gatherers.

The work of oyster collecting and
culture is most unsuitable for women,
but in France. owing to its tedious ma
ture, it does not appeal to men. Often
from an early hour in the morning till
late into the evening the women are
standing up to their knees in water,
with a strong sun beating down on
them. The result is that never year
passes without some of them going
mad and having to be hurried away
to the asylums. The work is well paid,
as, indeed, it ought to be, while in the
case of the few who own beds the
profits are large. and small fortunes
are quickly amassed.

FEATHERS AND EGesHELLs.

Many poultrymen who run their iit.

did not repeat the experiment this
year. After q few seasons in such a
damp atmosphere a new machine must
be purchased.
Among professional men ministers
and physicians are especially inter-
ested in thoroughbred poultry. The
lawyers prefer to pluck fat geese.

The extremely hot, dry weather in
the east will run up the price Of oats,

eastern poultrymen. Two bad grain
seasons make some retreat and others
retrench.

Hawaii imports from the United

for this are the mongoosc, which is so

a Disease Which Threatens to Be-

cone a SERIOUS matter.
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected in the
field. I'm general the husks tend to
turn prematurely yellow to sooty, and
the ear becomes partially or wholly
shriveled and much decreased In
weight. Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adher-
ing to them. In other cases the shanks
are weakened, and the affected ears
hang limp from their attachment, or
the diseased condition may not be de-
tected until the dusk is removed"
There are several kinds of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
the past two seasons caused about 80
per cent of the damage in Illinois is
due to fungus known as Diplodia
maydis. Ears infected with this fun
gus "shrivel up more or less, darken
In color and become light in weight"
The kernels are also shriveled, very
brittle and loosely attached to the cob.
The fungus penetrates all portions of
the ear, kernels, cob and husks and
produces many dark brown, two celled
spores which serve to propagate the
fungus.
In the case of the diplodia disease
and quite probably in that Of the other
forms the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears
and old stalks. 1t is not usually diff
cult to find throughout the summer in
old cornfelds, where the disease has
previously prevailed, many pieces of
old cornstalks which are infected with
the diplodia fungus. Stalks known to
be two years old have been found still
producing spores. During moist period
spores ooze from these stalks in abun-
dance and are blown singly or in
masses long distances, as has been fire.

The fungus does not, according to
present knowledge, grow upon any
other host and upon developing corn
known of the other fungi here con-
cerned, but since 90 per cent OF the
rot Is due to diplodia less attention
need be given to them. Diseased ears

on the SSth parallel on April 1, and
then reluctantly returned, leaving
Peary, Henson and four Eskimos
with provisions for forty days, to
make the final dash to the pole.
This reduced party started the
morning of April 3. The men walk
ed that day for ten hours and made
twenty miles. They slept near the
seth parallel. While crossing a sec
ton of young ice 800 yards wide the
sledge broke through. It was saved
but two of the Eskimos had narrow
escapes from drowning.
The ice was still good and the dogs
were in great shape. They made as
high as twenty-five miles a day.
The next observation was made at

made in a dense fog. The sun was
sighted on the third march and an
observation showed 1857.
