Glalness. Of Nature.

UlAuncSS' Oi NdtuFts
Is this time to be cloudy and sad,
When our Mother Nature laughs around;
When even the deep blue heavens look
glad,
And gladness breathes from the blossom
ing ground?
There are notes of joy from the hang
bird and wren
And the gossip of the swallow through
the sky;
The ground squirrel gaily chirps by his
den,
And the wild bee huns merrily by.
There's dance of leaves in that aspen
bower,
There's litter of winds in that beechen
tree,
There's smile on the fruit and smile
on the flower,
And laugh from the brook that runs
to the sea.
And look at the broad faced sun, how he
smiles
On the dewy earth that smiles in his ray,
On the leaping waters and gay young
isles,
Ay, look, and he'll smile thy gloom away.

A BOYS Song.

A Boys Song.
Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and Ger the lea.
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the mowers NOW the cleanest,
Where the hay lies thick and green,
There to trace the homeward bee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the hazel bank is steepest.
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts fall free,
That's the way for Billy and me.

POEMS FOR SEPTEM Der.
GOldenrCNi.

GOldenrOd.
Tell me, sunny goldenrod,
Growing everywhere,
Did fairies come from fairyland
And make the dress you wear?
Did you get from mines of gold
Your bright and shining hue?
Or did the baby stars some night
Fall down and cover you?
Or are you clad in sunshine
Caught from summers brightest day,
To give again in happy smiles
To all who pass your way?
l love you, laughing goldenrod,
And | will try like you,
To fill each day with deeds of cheer,
Be loving, kind and true.

The goldenrod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges faunt their harvest
In every meadow nook;
The asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all futters
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
september days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best Of cheer.

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT.

As an investment in the health OF
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance COM
panies in the United States have es-
tablished sanatoria for the treatment
of tuberculosis, according TO state
ment issued today by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
venti0n of tuberculosis.
The Royal League, the first frater-
nal order to establish a sanatorium,
conducts hospital for its tui'ercu-
losis members at Black Mountain.
The Modern Woodmen of America
conducts one at Colorado Springs, the
Workmen's Circle, at Liberty, N. Y,
and the Independent Order of Forest
ers have one at Rainbow Lake, n.
Y, and will soon open a second one
at San Fernando, Cal. The lnterna-
tional Typographical Union has since
1898 conducted sanatorium at Col
orado Springs, and the International
Printing Freshmen and Assistants
Union of America has recently open
ed new institution at Rogersville,
Tenn. The Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company is now erecting san
atorium at Mt. McGregor. N. V,
which will be the first of its kind to
be established by an "old line" in
surance company.
In addition to these institutions al
ready established, the Benevolent and
Prospective Order of Elks, the For
esters of America, the Knights of
Columbus, the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, and several other orders
are considering the advisability of
erecting sanatoria for their tubercu-
losis members. Some of the large
fraternal orders and labor unions,
like the Ladies of the Maccabees of
the World, the International Photo
Engravers Union, and others con-
duct educational campaigns against
tuberculosis, though they do not have
sanatoria of their own. The Equi-
table Life Assurance Society also has
recently established a Conservation
Department" in which the proven
ton of tuberculosis will be given
especial attention. Other insurance
companies are considering similar
action.
Since the membership of the lead
ing fraternal orders alone is nearly
100000, the National Association
estimates that about 80, 900 members
of these lodges die of tuberculosis
alone every year. Since more than
half of these lives could be saved at a
comparatively small outlay, the AS
ISOLATION figures that the fraternal
orders are losing millions every year
in death claims which might be saved.

EIGHT CENT SUGAR IN SIGHT.

EIGHT CENT SUGAR IN SIGHT.
Eight cent sugar is in sight. The
wholesale price of graduated has adj
vanced to 1896 per hundred pounds
and is expected to 60 higher.
The chief cause is the scarcity of
raw materials. Cuba's cane crop is
a failure. So is Europe's beet crop.
At this time sugar is retailing at
the store about town at 7 cents p
pound, but no doubt the price will
be forced higher in a short time.

WINTER QUARTERS
FOR THE POULTRY
Hens Require Plenty Of Fresh
Air Without Drafts.

Two or three fundamental principles
must be considered in comfortable
winter quarters. The first of these Is
am absence of moisture. The hen-
house must be kept dry, but 1t Is not
of so much Importance that II be kept
warm. Artificial heat Is tabooed by
the best poultrymen today An abun-
dance of fresh air without any drafts
must be provided. Just as much sun
shine as possible should be admitted
to the house. The walls should be
whltewashed and kept clean. The
boards should be cleaned from beneath
the perches rs frequently as seems
necessary. This will depend upon the
number of chickens kept.
The roosts should be painted with a
mite destroyer, and frequent sprayings
should be given throughout the season.
Mites are more easily controlled In the
winter than at any other time, but
there must be a constant campaign
against lice. The best aid In this is a
liberal use of dust. Have box In the
brightest part of the henhouse and
you will be surprised to see how freely
1t Is used. If supply of pulverized
earth was not provided before the
ground ffoze sifted ashes may be used.
This Is the hens natural method OF
freeing herself from a pest that saps
her vitality and makes 1t impossible
for her to lay most -Kimbal's

Hunqarian Goulash.

This Is a specially appetizing dish
when cooked and served EN- casserole,
and here are the directions for its
preparation as given by one of the
manufacturers of the American ware:
Slice peeled onion and cook until
brown in three tablespoonfuls pork
drippings or butter. Take out the
onion and turn in a pound and half
of lean, uncooked veal cut In inch
cubes. Stir and cook the meat until
slightly Drowned, then reject the fat,
if there is any, and arrange the meat
In casserole. Add pint of broth or
boiling water and teaspoonful Of
paprika, cover the dish and place in
the oven. In the meantime add more
fat to the frying pan and when hot
brown in it about a dozen balls cut
from peeled potatoes and dozen
small onions. When the onions are
well Drowned add them to the casse-
role and after the meat has been cook
ing an hour add teaspoonful of salt
and the potatoes and If desired two
tablespoonful -four mixed to thin
paste with cold water. Cook about
two hours and serve from the casse-
role.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Benefits of TiIinu Land.

An interesting fact was made
very clear last season In connection
with land, naturally well drained,
which has been lately tiled-namely
says an exchange, that in the driest
season known in years this land has
produced larger crops of better quality
than land lying near by which was
apparently sufficiently dry for crop
production.
This greater productiveness seems
directly due to the fact that In land
which is tiled there Is much freer
circulation of the air, which means a
mellower and looser soil and n more
rapid passage to the surface of subsoil
moisture.
This same condition results in a
rapid absorption into the soil of rain
that does fall thus reducing to mini
mum the volume which flows off from
the surface, washing and outlying the
soil

Treating Rarbed Wire Cuts.

In treating a wire cut the wound
should be kept absolutely clean and
exposed to the air and sunshine. When
the wound starts to heal 1t should
not be irritated by washing the raw
surface or by removing scabs which
have formed. Liquid disinfectants are
best applied by allowing the fluid to
be poured on the raw surface, not by
rubbing the wound with cotton sat
urated with the disinfectant.
Follow this disinfection by covering
it With some good healing powder that
1t both astringent and disinfectant.
Should the wound heal fast use some
form of caustic to remove the exces-
sive granulation tissue.

Cookery
Points
Chicken En- Casserole.


Cut into joints one large fowl or two
small ones. removing as many of the
bones as possible and the skin. If very
tough. Put two tablespoonfuls olive
oil, pork drippings or butter in fry
ing pan and as soon as smoking hot
lay few pieces of the chicken in at
a time, turning often until the flesh
loses its pinky tinge and turns white.
Do not allow the pieces to brown. AS
fast as the white stage is reached take
from the pan and drain on soft paper
while cooking another batch. When
all are cooked-and you may have to
add more butter or oil before you have
finished, but do so when there Is no
chicken in the pan-place where the
chicken will keep hot while you pre-
pdre the sauce. Put three tablespoon
fuls of butter in the pan where the
chicken was cooked and as soon as
melted add two tablespoonfuls of -four.
AS soon as blended and frothy turn
in three cupfulS veal or chicken stock,
which can be made from the bones,
cleaned feet and trimmings of the
fowl, well seasoned with vegetables
and soup herbs. Cook until smooth
and thickened, strain into the casserole,
add the pieces of chicken, cover closely
with oiled paper, adjust the casserole
cover and bake in moderate oven
an hour or more, dependent upon the
age and tenderness of the chicken.
Game and veal are cooked in the same
way as the chicken. Rabbit Is special
ly nice prepared in this way.
