THE BOY WE LOVE.
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

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.

ering the matter of establishing a
rigid quarantine against it. The
scale is a minute parasite" that clings
to the bark of fruit trees. 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.

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-

The demand for cows is now such
that it would probably pay farmers
in'many localities to grow and de­
velop them for sale at three or four
years of age. 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.

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

of eating and drinking, so far as
they are concerned, than their own­
