TIE PLowMAN.


The pIowman as he guides his pillow aneld
Seems NOT with dreams to cheer his
weary way
His toisome day seems but to yield
Him pain and sweat and clods OF yell
low clay
Tss sky above smltes down like blazing
brass;
Rough clods and stones affiict his weary
feet
He lows YEARLY the heaving pillow
And oans with painting beast beneath
the heat
Thus it mav seem to those who know not
nature ioys.
To him N.in knows not love of honest
work
The drone in this life's busy hive.
The shiftless. pfodigal. the shirk.
The plowman as he sp'des his pillow afield
Looks upward frpu -e furrowed sod.
And as the feathered rhoirs sing
He draweth near to natures God.
The plowman as he guides his pillow aheld
Beholds bright vision of the day
When the ripened grain with waves OF
gold
Shall cover his toilsome way
When bullying shocks of golden sheaves
Shall stand on that fresh turned loan;
When the field shall ring as the reapers
sing
The glorious harvest home.

Quaiyt and joyous humor, alternat-
ing with genuine pathos. clearcut
descriptions, brilliant collaqua, keen,
subtle Characterization and a simple
broadly romantic plot; these favor
able elements meet and mingle in
Uncle Toms Cabin, an emotional
drama by Mrs Harriet Beecher
Stowe. Along this line the piece con-
tirues with quaint characters and
curious surprises appearing at every
turn, the charming strong-willed, re-
sourceful Topsy, challenges the SYM
pathy and admiration of her audience
and the play evlnces dramatic quail
ty, genuine human sympathy and a
definite sence of proportion in motive
and incident; the characters are
drawn in cellar, free outline, and
throughout the story the atmosphere
of sincerity prevails. lending rare
touch of realism to the successive
scenes. The story is worked out by
the author with such ingenious in
vention and sustained interest of plot
and action, her incidental sketches of
life and customs are we'll drawn and

FEATHERS AND EeesHsLLs.


Many farmers of Missouri set out
millet in the sheaf last winter to save
the bobwhites from starving. The
state fish and game department paid
for the grain.
With all the reports of mortality
among turkeys and the death OF mil
lions OF chicks by the white diarrhea
route, the undertaken has no job among
the geese They are certainly easy to
raise and easily kept. Many farmers
who have quit turkeys are raising rub
bernecks, and they know good thing
when they see 1t.
The egg laying contest at the Mis-
souri, experiment station is not an at
tempt TO get high records, but the prof.
ect is carried on just as any farmer
can and should care for his flock to
get good results Such an enterprise
is practical, and the bulletin from this
egg contest will certainly be helpful.
Emperor William OF Germany has
purchased two large tracts OF land in

Hagenbeck will stock them with

was lover of chickens and was so
enthusiastic over some Shanghai roost-
ers that were sent TO her from this
country that she had celebrated art

Philip Boyer OF Danville, Pa, r. F.
D., had a gobbler that adopted TWEEN
ty-five turkey poults last year and
raised eighteen OF them. This season
the old hen hatched twenty and
couldn't raise one of them. Here is
mystery for our government appro-
priation poultry philosophers to I'M
ravel
It's a real pleasure for a lawyer,
doctor. an editor. a preacher TO leave
their books and brain work and go out
and tinker around the chickens. Many
professional men keep a bunch Of big
thoroughbreds. and that hour In the
open with the birds keeps that boyish
spirit alive and adds TO their days.
Matching eggs from turkeys year
old is one great cause Of much NOR
tally among these fowls. We have
kept tab on this among the farmers
around us. Most of them have tried
TO raise turkeys year after year from
immature stock. and most of them
have succeeded in going out OF bush
ness.
The farmer has the best chance to
make good money on poultry, as he
raises all his own feed and has plenty
Of range for his stock Many western
farmers are wise to this, and are
coming cash on chickens and turkeys.
but many in the east still swing along
in the same old rut
Down in East st. Louis fanciers
missed so many fowls that one or
them paraded around I'm a sheet. and
ghost stories floating round so scared
the colored contingent Of hen snatch
ers that not one chicken has been
lifted since.
A fancier in Coatesville. Pa. fasten-
ed n 500 bin under his pet ROSTERS
wing to keep his wife from getting the
money. The rooster flew over Into the
next neighbofs yard. and the neighbor
extracted the bill and now asks the
claimant TO prove property. As the
fancler didn't note the number OF the
bill he will likely lose the case and
also have 10 hear his wife CAB about
It the rest OF his life.
