Oh, for a glimpse of a natural boy— A boy with a freckled face, With forehead white ’neath tangled flair And limbs devoid of grace. Whose feet toe in; while his elbows flare; Whose knbds are patched all ways, Who turns as red as a lobster $lien You give him a. word of praise, A boy Who’s born with an appetite. Who seeks the pantry shelf To eat his “piece” With, resounding smack. Who isn’t gone on himself. “Robinson Crusoe” reading boy, Whose pockets bulge with tiflsh, Who knows-the use Of rod and gun Afid where the brook trout splash! It’s true he’ll sit in the easiest chair. With his hat on his tousled head, That his hands and feet are every where For youth must have room to spread. £ut he doesn’t dub hiS father “old in ci etc.), thoroughly and evenly mixed. How much nicer, quicker, easier and better the mixing will be done by the machine if you will only put your seasoning on before you grind it. Done this way, it .will all be evenly seasoned; noisome salty and hot with pepper, as in the old way. —Farmer’s Voice.

It made its first appearance in the United States at San Jose,. Cal., hence its name. The scale is reproduced rap idly, and it usually ruins the trees to which it " becomes attached. It has been carried on California or anges to every part of .the earth, and the German horticulturists are ffiaking vigorous protests against its introduction into their country. They claim that it threatens the prosperity of the fruitgrowers of Germany, and they have' appealed to the government to establish an embargo against fruit, plants and trees of-every kind from thé United States.—-Kansas Farmer. poor quality of the chemicals used.

Easy going republicans and even those of other political beliefs, are apt to wonder at the strife, irt the political ranks of the republican party in this state. The average yotet is Wondering why, if, “so much depends on standing shoulder to shouldfeF, And" maintaining the gold standard at all hazards” in this state, the republicans aid like to split over Mitchell. But when the strife is over and the smoke clears so the thing is seen as it is, it will be found the fight was not over Mitchell at all, but that thè trouble was between Simon,Scottand Corbett on one side and the more honest class of politicians on the other. The whole issue is to decide who "shall rule in the state, Simon and his click or the republican party. Simon himself is for rule or ruin, Sc'ótt, when he takes up an issue, will, and does carry it to the biiter fend, thereby lessening his influence; And Corbett is a -tool. Should the Simon; Scott and Corbett faction lose control, knifing and all other kinds of dirt known to the crafty politician will be the order of the bay. And right here they let the gap down and the populists will be ¿uick to take-ad vantage of it, which is as it should be. it will be tern- 'embered that John B Waldo was nominated against J.oe- Simon’s wishes and' he was Sacrificed by Simon’s ambition & “in Jun tactics,” D.

Calves could be grown for the dairy or feed lot, according to their sex. If the heifers were bred early, and fed for milk produc tion, they would bring a good price when it was shown that they were young and good milkers. They Would yield some income while being developed into coWS; and the failures could well go to the feed lot, because they would fail by rea son of their tendancy to turn feed into flesh instead of milk. . It is perhaps the prope r system t<> water the animals at regular periods, especially horses, but ani mals differ, and may desire water at times when they do not receive it. To give all animals free access to Wafer is certainly not contrary to I natural law, as they are better judges of eating and drinking, so far as they are concerned, than their own ers.
