The Old Farm Home.
An old farm house with meadows wide
And sweet with clover on every side
A bright-eyed boy who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about,
And thinks this self-same thought all day:
"Ah, could I go far, far away
From this dull spot the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should I be!"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been
Amid the tumult of th throng
Keeps thinking, thinking all day long:
"Oh, could I only tread once more
The field path to the farm-house door
The old green meadows could I see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy would I be!"
Managing the Meadow.
Many meadows and pastures are de
stroyed by bad management. The
farmer Is in too great a hurry to real
ize from his Investment and does not
give the grass an opportunity to be
come fully established, cattle being
turned in to trample the field at a sea
son when the ground is wet, or graze
It closely when the land may be in
ueed of rain. When grass Is seeded In
the fall it starts off soon In spring and
makes rapid growth, offering a strong
temptation for the use of stock, but it
will be found better to allow the grass
to grow and mow It once for hay, so as
to induce it to thicken and stool, but to
have It trampled or cropped close by
cattle and sheep the first year U to do
it more Injury than can be regained
during the life of the meadow or pas
ture. The first vear's manaaement Is
very Important, and the rule to follow
Is to allow the grass to become firmly
rooted and to make as much growth as
possible before mowing or pasturing It,
care being taken that the grass is cut
before It bears seed. As there will be
different kinds of grass, It will be well
to mow as soon as the early seeding
kinds begin to seed. With white clover
the seeding Is unimportant, as It is a
short grass and may not remain unless
under favorable circumstances. Be
fore seeding the land an application
of wood ashes harrowed In will be
found excellent, and lime Is also bene
ficial. Philadelphia Record.
Leaf Mold from the Woods.
One of the best foundations for a bed
In which to grow flower plants can be
easily secured in most country districts
by going to the woods and finding In
hollows, or on the sides of old trunks
of trees, the mold that has accumu
lated by the rotting of forest leaves
that have fallen after blowing over
them. Only that which has been well
rotted will be worth taking home. Last
year's leaves have not decomposed
enough yet. That which Is found In
deep masses, where the soil is wet.
should be avoided, as the fact that the
land around It is wet shows that it Is
sour. The very best of all Is found In
the deep hollows of stumps. Here It
lias had only the rain and snowfall of
winter to wet It, and there Is usually
an outlet beneath to carry off all sur
plus water. This leaf mold, though
black, Is not so rich as It looks. It Is
besides too light to be used as soil with
out some heavier soil being mixed with
It. If some commercial nitrogenous
compound Is used In the flower bed
made thus It will produce a wonderful
growth and bloom.
Locate the Underdraina,
Wherever an underdraln has been
laid, either a map of the ground should
be drawn, or such other memorandum
as will enable the owner of the land to
always know where it may be found,
There Is nothing more provoking to the
buyer of a farm that Is only partly un
derdrained than his Inability to decide
Just where the old drains are located
and what size conduit they have. Of
course, the drain, if In working order,
will show within two or three rods
where tile or stone may be found. But
to reach it then requires much needless
digging, which could all have been
avoided if the man who laid the drain
had been careful to make a record of Its
location.
Value of a Good Garden.
If you have never had a "rattling
good garden," suppose you make an ef
fort to have one. I know from experi
ence that a good garden Is a great
money saver, as well as a system reno
vator. You can grow more good
"spring medicine" from a dollar's
worth of garden seeds than you can
get for $50 from a drug store. Some
people like to regard everything they
eat In the way of vegetables as a rem
edy for this or that disease; a liver ren
ovator, a kidney stirrer, a lung balm,
or a stomach soother. I much prefer to
consider them as real good, palatable
food. Correspondence Rural World.
The Rant Pig.
In nearly every litter of pigs there
will be one and sometimes two pigs
that are so much smaller than the rest
that unless taken out and fed sepa
rately they will be undersized all their
lives. We have tried so often to make
omethlng out of runts, and have al
ways found that all the pork they
could be made Into cost more tha,n It
was worth. So we used to klU the runt
pigs, believing that the care and ieed
the runt would require could be much
more profitably given to the thrifty
pigs in the same litter. American Cul
tivator. Alslke Clover.
There was a time some fifteen years
ago or more when the common red clo
ver seemed doomed to destruction by
a worm which bred in It, and so ate
leaves and blossoms that the plant
could neither grow vigorously nor pro
duce seed. But we hear little of this
clover worm now, as It has generally
been destroyed by a parasite that preys
upon it. Alslke clover was not Injured
by this enemy. Therefore for a few
years Alslke clover became quite popu
lar. But it dies out entirely after blos
soming and seeding in June of the sec
ond year after it was sown in early
spring. Alslke clover Is probably the
best accompaniment of timothy. If
both are sown together the first year,
only the Alslke can be mowed. But
after this clover Is off the timothy will
make a strong growth, and a cutting
of a ton of timothy per acre may be got
in the falltfrom land that had already
borne an ASslke clover crop earlier In
the season.
Warmth from Germinating Seeds,
One of the aids to the preservation of
seeds sown in early spring Is that the
swelling and bursting of the seed nec
essary to put out the germ is al
ways accompanied with considerable
warmth. It Is accompanied by the
creation of a little carbonic acid gas,
which Is never separated from organic
matter without at least partial decom
position. So soon as roots put forth
from the young plant they carry this
carbonic acid gas to their tips, and this
also partially decomposes the soil that
they come In contact with. When the
blade first appears above the surface
it calls on the root for moisture, and as
the root takes moisture from the soil
the latter Is thereby made dryer. It is
also wanned as well, for in early spring
the outside air Is nearly always warm
er than the, soil, and to dry It Is also to
warm it.
The Life of Peach Trees.
It Is an almost universal complaint
that peach trees do not last as long as
they used to do. We do not believe that
this Is on account of the weather, be
cause late winters certainly have not
been so destructive as many that oc
curred thirty to forty years ago. The
Increase of borers and of .fungous dis
eases, In which we Include the yellows.
are, we think, mainly responsible for
the change. By keeping borers out
and dressing heavily with potash ma
nures, peach trees may be made much
longer lived than they used to be. One
of the secrets of the longevity of old
time peach trees was that they were
never severely pruned, and never pro
duced heavy crops. The old-time 30-
year-old peach trees had a tall trunk
with very little top.
Early Weeds.
There are weeds that come earlier
than the crops, as the many varieties
of them are adapted to cold weather.
warm weather, dry seasons, rainy
spells, and they spring up readily In
soils that contain the elements best
suitable for their existence. It requires
very little effort to destroy weeds when
they are coming up and beginning to
grow, but they are very persistent after
they become established. If the ground
Is kept loose the weeds will not secure
a hold, as every working of the ground
with the harrow or cultivator destroys
thousands of weed seeds that may be
just beginning to germinate.
To Prevent Rust.
The best preventive of rust on Imple
ments Is kerosene. If cleaned and
sponged once a week with kerosene all
Iron and steel Implements will be less
liable to rust than when oils of any
kind are used. When stored away for
winter a mixture of one part rosin
melted In six parts of lard will be
found excellent. Early In spring, If
the Implements and tools are to be
cleaned, It may be done with gasollue,
and two or three hours after they may
be lightly sponged with kerosene.
Improved Dandelions for Gardens.
The dandelion Is so popular an herb
for greens that It Is well worth while
to cultivate It in the garden for that
use. There are special varieties which
have much larger and thicker leaves,
and these are sometimes planted In
greenhouses In winter so as to have
greens earlier for use In spring. One of
the advantages of the dandelion greens
Is that they have a tonic effect on the
stomach, and are very highly regarded
by many old fashioned people as a
medicinal food.
ileets, Carrots and Parsnips.
Sow beets, carrots and parsnips as
early as possible. The seeds germinate
slowly, and the earlier the sowing Is
done the better the young plants can
combat with weeds. Sow In drills and
keep the rows clean. If grass and
weeds get the start the ground might
as well be abandoned, but If the crops
get an early growth they will be very
easily cultivated.
Large Millet.
To grow a large crop of millet plow
the ground early, manure It and work
in the manure with a cultivator. After
frost Is gone work the land again with
a harrow and sow the seed. After It
gets a good start It will keep the weeds
down by crowding them out. Millet la
a summer crop and will give a good
yield of bay when some other crops
fall.

ANIMALS AS MODELS.
Some of the Experiences of an Artist in
Sketching From-Life.--
"Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
Animal Artist," is an article by Mere
dith Nugent in the St. Nicholas. Mr.
Nugent says: There was an elephant
in the Jardin-Jes-Planets that would
not pose unless he were paid for it, and
paid in advance. Then he took pay
ment in buns and pie, but if these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk to the farther end of the enclosure
and turn his back. The only way to
get a drawing of this big fellow was to
engage some one to feed him mean
while. In the same gardens I saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little Bunbear with a large
marrow bone in his shaggy paws was
resorting to all sorts of bear devices to
get the sweet rfiarrow. Suddenly lie
lay down on his back, placed one end
of the bone in his jaws, and with" his
bind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so high up that the choice morsel
slipped into liis mouth. If the animal
could only have understood the shouts
of approval that greeted this perform
ance, I think it would have turned his
head. In one of the sketches you will
see how this feat was accomplished. As
rale I find the models very good na
tured. True, they keep a sharp eye on
me for the, first few days, but after
that are generally quite friondly. Of
course, there are some parts of the
business they do not like. The oriole
never was happy when I held him in
my hand for close inspection, but a
beautiful cat which rebelled when I
first plaoed her in a bird cage to keep
her in front of me grew so fond of
being there, and after I finished my
drawings she cried and cried to be put
back into the cage. Intense curiosity
is the great ohaiacteristio of animals
when in the stndio. . They are as much
interested in you and the surroundings
as you are in them. This is especially
the case with birds. Leave the studio
but a few minutes, and these two-
legged fellows are hopping into every
thing. Of course they inspect the
paper on which you have been draw
ing, and the paints, and the brushes,
and occasionally vary these proceedings
by taking a bath in (he water bowl.

Church Built of Coral.
A church built of coral is one of the
curiosities of the Isle of Mahe, one of
the Seychelles islands in the Indian
i.O'iin. The Seychelles islands, which
are supposed by many to be the site of
the Eden of Old Testament history,
form an archipelago of one hundred
and fourteen islands, and aie situated
about 1,400 miles east of Aden and
1,000 miles from Zanzibar. They rise
steeply out of the sea, culminating in
the Isle of Mahe, which is about 3,000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is
nearly the center of the group. All
these islands are of coral growth. The
houses are built of species of massive
coral hewn into square blocks, which
glisten like white marble, and show
themselves to the utmost advantage in
the various tinted green of the thiok
tropical palms, whose immense . fern
like leaves give pleansant and much
needed shade. These palms grow as
high as 100 feet and more, overtopping
both the houses and the coral-built
church. They line the seashore and
cover the mountains, forming in many
plaoes extensive forests.
