Old Watkins took an invoice of

Did you ever sit and spark
In the parlor, after dark,
In the days when you were
young,
Long ago?
With your partner on your knee
And no one about to see,
Did you keep the parlor lamp
Burning low?
With no one about to hear,
Did you get your face up near |
And whisper silly nonsense
In her ear?
Now, if these few lines remind
you
Of the times so far behind you,
Will you now, at the remem-
brance,

HINTS OF THE FARM.

No place on the farm is too good for the garden.
 Good seed on poor soil is making poor use of a good thing.
 Have tomatoes, radishes and sum- mer squashes in abundance.
 Don't be afraid of putting too much manure on the garden ground.
 Butter unfit for tlble use can hard ly be regarded as fit for cooking. The radish is one of the favorite vegetables, and it is one of rather easy cultivation.
 The best place to start with the farm garden is on the most productive spot of ground on the farm.
 Dust the climbing roses with sul- phur early in the morning, while the dew is on, to prevent mildew.
 A hard crust over the soil prevents the rain and heat from entering. Al ways keep the surface of the soil loose.
 If the bean poles are short and the vines are pinched off when they reach the top the beans will mature earlier.
 If the cabbage root maggot is at work fit piece of tarred paper close about the base of the plants. It will help.
 The radishes are divided into two classes, by their season, summer or winter, and are of many shapes and color.
 It is not possible to make the farm gardening too intensive. The richer the ground the tenderer and better the vegetables.
 Spraying the COWS will discourage the flies and keep up the milk supply. Too much trouble? Well, trouble of tbis kind usually pays big.
 The garden should be near the house and surrounded with a good woven wire netting fence to keep out fowls and other garden pests.
 If the garden must of necessity be on a stiff, clayey soil, mix all the ashes and sand obtainable with it; they will mellow up wonderfully.
 If you grow late maturing crops in the peach orchard they will keep the wood growing too late to make them safe for winter. Clean up the ground this month.
