Black Snakes seneficent.

In Burlington county, New Jersey,
the farmers who, in the erroneous be-
lief that they are pest, have been
killing black snakes, are being urged
to conserve them as enemies of the
rattlers, which have been unpleasantly
numerous this year. The damage done
by the non-poisonous reptiles is now
recognized to be slight account In
comparison with the good they do.
Not only will the black snake fight and
best the rattler, but he earns more
than his keep by keeping down other
pests. 1t has taken man long time
to identify his friends of the lower Or
ders, and even today many perse-
cuted animals do not receive the credit
that is due them.-New York Sun.

tato cut in quarter-inch slices and al
low lard to heat gradually; when it
ceases to bubble and potatoes are well
Drowned, strain thru double cheese
cloth, into a pan. The potato absorbs
any odors or gases and collects some OF

HER MILKING.PAIL

When Doris took her milking-pail
To cross the dewy meadow;
The eastern sky was golden pale,
The valley lay in shadow;
I followed slowly, not too near,
And softly, lest the maid SHOULD hear.
The wet, white daisies bent to touch
Her slender foot, and kiss It;
envied them this pleasure much,
Since I'd been doomed to miss It:
And thought the flowers were treated
far
More kindly than some lovers are!
Behind a thorn stood to watch
Her coax the COW, and chide her;
And humming at a merry catch,
Set the small stool beside her;
While freshly, as she could have
wished,
The milk through dimpled fingers
swished.
Thought 1, "This chance l must not
miss!
Her milk-pail home I'll carry;
And in return, demand a kiss,
For milkmaldS are not cnary,
The poets sing: II SWANS be brave.
Hence, my reward Ill boldly crave"
But when at length would have slept
Toward the maid with fervor,
Young Stephen DER the hedge had
leapt
With like intent to serve her;
And lest his chance might later fail.
Took, first, kiss, and then, the pail!
Unseen. 1 sought a shaded path.
And left the lovers cooling;
But now my verse moral hath:
Whatever's worth the doing
You'll find-each day the story tells
Is being done by some one else!
