THE EVENING REPITBIiIOAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

The Voice of Our Dear Departed One. (In memory of Lucy Healy.) My dear loved ones, cease your weeping . Since your Lucy has gone to rest I am not dead, I am only sleeping On my loving Savior’s breath. Oh how sweet it is to rest here Free from earthly pain and care, Never more to feel life’s troubles Never more to shed a tear. Could you know the joys of Heaven Which my soul possesses now, You would thank Him for His mercy To your fate you’d meekly bow. In His mercy Jesus called me Now to be forever His. In exchange for earth’s cheap treasures He has given me Heavenly bliss. Yet your daughter is still near you Though you may not see her smile, Near her parents, sisters, brothers, Their lone hours to bequile. Now a word to my companions And my loved friends tried and true Keep in mrrni the one great moment Which will call your spirit too. Make good use of every talent Given to you from above Whether working, singing, praying, Or some other act of love. Let each word and deed and action Be an honor to His name. May your Judge findnothing wanting And your God find naught to blame. An account will be demanded Of each action left undone That might honor 'God the Father Or His dear begotten Son. 4 One great thought was so consoling, That my voice I dared to raise In God’s holy sacred Temple To Him oft in Hymns of praise. For 1 knew though frail and feeble God had given me the grace. What could justify then my neglect, When I met Him face to face. Guard the health which God Was given Shorten not your days on earth. - Let e’er prudence be your wabohward, Use your time for whiat ’tis worth. For you know that your frail body Is the temple of your soul Which was given to its keeping, For the grave is not its goal. It will share in the same glory, It will reap what it has sown, Which will be the joys of Heaven If it worked for God alone. Let then flee all empty pleasures For the sake of Him who died On the Cross to be your ransom And Whose heart is open wide To embrace and be the Refuge Of all those who to Him pray Begging, pleading, Him for mercy For their last, their dying day. He will then, with His sweet Mrfther And your guardian Angel dear Come to take you Home forever There their friendship to renew. Now companions, on the feast-day Of Christ’s Mother sweet and pure, Raise your voices in her praises, And her protection you’ll ensure. For when Chrirt in bitter anguish Was dying on the shameful tree Abandoned by His other creatures She shared His shame and agony. She will then in death’s sad hour Beg the grace that you may say: Help me Mary my sweet Mother, Dearest Jesus, near me stay.

ALL-THE-SUMMER RADIsHES POSSIBLE.

Two Plantings of Eaoh of Three VaVarieties, In Properly Prepared Soil, Easy. It is possible with a little care to have an all-summer radish bed and the benefit more than repays the small amount of care required. Soil for the radish bed should be a light, sandy loam mixed with stable manure and old droppings from the poultry house. It should be deeply spaded, pulverized finely and the manures well mixed in through the entire depth. If the soil is not naturally sandy it will pay to secure this looseness by adding soil. One of the greatest pests which hinder the enjoyment of radishes is the worm so frequently found at the center of the radish. A few pounds of salt to every square of 10 feet well worked into the upper soil will usually prevent trouble from this source. If the long varieties are grown, the salt should be mixed in further down, at least as deeply as the radish goes. Select a spot partially shaded from the full heat of the noon sun, spade, pulverize and mix in the salt and manure. Lay off In rows a foot or 15 inches apart, sow the seed in these and cover carefully to a depth of half an inch. Usually three varieties chosen with regard to time of growth, shape, etc., will be sufficient if these are replanted. Let one be a small, round, dark red variety, the quickest grower possible. This will come on very soon and last for a week or two. The bed should be resown as soon as any portion has been removed. These small, round varieties grow from the moisture of the early Bpring rains, root near the surface and exhaust the fertility only at the surface. Another bed should be planted at the same time to a slower growing kind, one of the longer varieties usu ally, and still retaining some of the quick growing crispness. They reach down to lower depths,/ draw on hitherto untouched food and moisture supplies and come on for use shortly after the first bed of the round radishes has been exhausted. These are eaten and replanted again and bring their second crop on just after the second growth of the round. For the third bed there is a large, solid variety known as the white Strasburg that is unrivaled for late summer and dry weather. It Is longer than most kinds and roots deeply. It thus draws on fresh food beds and by practicing the surface cultivation of the "dry farming” methods, it may be grown, fresh and crisp, sound and excellent for table use in late summer. By replanting this bed a second time one has in all six plantings and these have lasted him nearly the whole warm season from spring till late fall. It is even possible to sow the round radish seed in a box within doors and remove them to a glass-covered box out of doors, and thus bring on a few of these succulent little vegetables ready for use when most.people are sowing the first seeds. And it pays, too.

ENGLISH CLIMATE FAVORABLE TO POULTRY.

These fresh importations of English fowls are making good egg records and in some cases are slightly ahead of our American-bred fowls, bue recently a Canadian restated a fact which is well known. The climate and soil of England are particularly suited to produce great size and an increased egg laying in all varieties after being bred for a few years in England. The reverse of this is also true. After a few generations in America these English fowls drop off, not so much in size as in egg production, and these breeders who are going to use any of these much-exploited English fowls for eggs will find it necessary to make frequent and regular importations of stock. Otherwise, after a few generations a very noticeable falling off will occur in a total of eggs produced in a year. The economic importance of keeping our robins and bluebirds supplied with food is emphasized in department Bulletin No. 171, entitled “Food of the Robins and Bluebirds of the United States.” These two members of the thrush family are most attractive and desirable assistants to the farmer, reducing the insects that prey on his crops besides eating a number of undesirable weed seeds. However, as 'they are generally distributed throughout the United States and are * usually abundant wherever found. It sometimes becomes a problem to provide for them when the supply of insects and wild berries is insufficient and the birds have to resort to cultivated crops to sustain life. In order to keep the birds from destroying valuable crops the department's biologist advises that they be provided with adequate supplies of wild fruits and berries by their human friends. Ornamental trees and shrubs which furnish these may be planted in the vicinity of cultivated crops for this purpose. Select eggs of uniform size for hatching. They should also be normal in shape, not rough on the outside, and of good size, but not abnormally large. v A few moth balls put into the nesting material of sitting as well as of laying hens will help to keep out lice and mites.

THE SHIFTING TENANT

Agricultural Schools Should Work to Keep Farmers’ Bone on Land. Specialists of the department of agriculture who have been making an Investigation Into the use of land by high schools In tegjchlng agriculture and In the encouragement of boys to carry on supervised home projects, make the # following suggestions ss to how the agricultural instructor may help to solve the serious shifting-ten-ant problem. It can safely be assumed that the average boy leaves school at 18 years of age. From the best Information available the average farmer does not start farming on his own account until he Is somewhere between 25 and 30 years of age. In other words, there Is a period of a fanner’s life, when he Is between 18 and 30 years of age, when he Is not working on his own farm nor is he his own master. It would seem that wherever the home project method has been Introduced an effort should be made to follow up the boy and, if possible, arrange in some way so that he continues his home-project work and gradually become a partner with his father in the farm business. This feature should be a part of the extension work of die agricultural instructor. Farmers are recruited from two sources, from the sons of farmers and the sons of agricultural laborers. In going over the original census schedules for farmers of lowa county, Wls* this rather Interesting fact developed that where the tenant and landlord had the same surname the tenant had been on the farm that he was on the day the census was taken for a tnuch longer period than where their suf* names were different. It was found that 31 per cent of the cash tenants who were related to the owner had been tenants on the farms which they were on, at the census date, for two years or less, while the per cent for those where no relationship existed was 65. For share tenants the figures were 50 and 80 per cent respectively. In other words where there Is relationship there' is less of the shiftingtenant problem than where relationship does not exist. From other records it was learned that of the total years a man had been a tenant, ho had been a tenant on the farm where he was at the time the records were taken 76 per cent of the total time when there was no relationship. The returns also indicated that where relationship existed 33 per cent had attended high school, but where there was no relationship only 18 per cent had attended high school. In other words, if through the school the farmers could be made to take an Interest In the agricultural training of the boy and they could be established in a partnership relation, the shifting-ten-ant problem would be partially solved.

Garden of Herbs Is Valuable.

Why not have a garden of herbs T In a few feet of ground you can grow all the herbs you can use and you will be surprised to find what an addition they will make to your table. Lettuce and tomato salads are greatly Improved by adding a few chopped leaves of thyme, tarragon, sage and chives to the dressing. Sauces, fish minces or Croquettes all gain in flavor froip the use of these herbs. The seeds of dill, anise, coriander, caraway and fennel are useful for flavoring in bread, cookies and cakes. Catnip, rue, saffron and tansy have medicinal qualities, while lavender, and rosemary yield aromatic oils and waters. An herb garden should be startod eflrly in the spring, in carefully prepared and thoroughly cultivated ground. A light, sandy soil Is most satisfactory. The seeds should be planted in shallow drills and the soil firmly pressed down. Here is a list of the most useful herbs that are not difficult to raise: Balm —For cooking purposes. Basil Sweet—Used for flavoring. Borage—Leaves used for salads. Coriander—Seeds aromatic. Dill—Seeds for flavoring. Lavender —For oil and distilled water, dried flowers and used among linen. Mint—Leaves used for flavoring; Rue —Medicinal qualities. Saffron —Medicinal and flavoring; also used in dyeing.

Growing of Lillies.

Lillies can be grown in any good garden sofl. Heavy soils should be made rich and provided with good drainage, light soils should be made ridi and protected from the hot sun by a suitable mulch. Lillies are impatient of extremes—they suffer from too much water and dislike extreme heat as much as severe cold. Proper preparation of the lily bed is essential. The soil should be removed for a depth of two feet and at the bottom fork under six inches of well rotted manure. Then add another six Inches of the top soil and on this six inches of sand. Place the bulbs upon the covert"*', of sand and cover them completely with sand; then fill up the bed with the remainder of the topsoiL Never let the manure come hi contact with the bulbs. As a rule the autumn is the be* 1 ; time to plant, although in the early spring successful Slanting may lie done. When the plants have become established the bed should not be disturbed as long as the plants bloom satisfactorily.

Have You Swallowed Your Choicest Pearls?

~ A New York doctor took hia pretty wife to dine at a smart restaurant the other day. The pretty wife has a fad for pearls and every time she gets a chance she orders oysters In the hope that she will find a pearl—a real pearl—a pure, a flawless pearl—between bites. So the doctor bought a beautiful pearl from a perfectly good Jeweler—took It to the restaurant and arranged with the waiter to serve the oyster with the pearl in one of the shells. The doctor's wife ate her oysters, and for the first time in years she swallowed them without chewing them. She swallowed the pearl, too. And now the doctor doesn’t know whether to tell her about it or not. Poor woman —she hunted for the pearl all her life and the only time she really had one —she swallowed it. How many times have you swallowed your pearl? I’ve swallowed mine—a dozen different ones —a dozen different times. Why is it that blessings so often come in disguise and why are we so stubborn that we wont learn to recognize them —any way? I’d cross the continent to be of some use to the true friend who really cares for me —and yet, the other day, because a woman I have loved for many years did not agree with me about a matter of purely vague philosophy, I came within an ace of quarreling Vith her. My belief in the honor and the faith of man —I wouldn’t lose it for anything in the world. I’d rather die than live to believe that all men are liars and all women deceivers. Yet ,the other day, because one poor weakling broke a sacred vow —I almost let my faith in humanity die. The love and trust of a little child — what can you give me in exchange for it? It will comfort when everything else is a misery. It is a joy when all the world is sad. It is the sun shining In the shadiest place—and yesterday I almost broke a promise to a little trusting child, just because it was convenient for me to forget my appointment with him. The pearls—the beautiful pearls — how easily we let them slip away from us. Happiness—how we all run after It —in youth,' in middle age—in Infirmity—and yet, there dear happiness stands in the doorway of every humble heart, holding out her hands to us —if we could only see her and smile back into her kind eyes. The bird in the tree, there —what if he stopped to worry about the winter time when the rain comes and all the sweet blossoms are faded and gone. How Is he going to find his way through all the miles to the far country where he must go when winter comes again? The rose there in the garden—how sweet, how sweet it blooms. Who planted It there —how long will It ii Ve —and that particular blossom, will it grace a table In the shaded room of an Invalid —or will It be worn in the bright meshes of a beauty’s hair? It does not know, the rose —lt only blossoms and Is fair. Come wind of the sweet, salt sea, teach me the lesson of your glorious •ong. Sing on in courage and in Joy and my heart shall sing with you. And when the pearl of happiness, the pearl of friendship, the pearl of love and trust, the pearl of quiet content and honest happiness are mine— I will treasure them and keep them and not let them slip away because I am too occupied with other things to watch them well.

Luncheon Set.

Quite unusual is a luncheon cloth, circular In design, but so made that sections are provided for doilies beneath four individual plates. The model offers a fine opportunity to use odd pieces of linen. It consists of linen cut in five squares and four quarters of a circle. One square is placed in the center, while the other four squares are.directly opposite each of the four sides of the center square, but far enough away to allow a strip of two-Inch-wide cluny insertion to be run between the edges of the, squares. In a diagonal line from the four points of the center square are placed the four quarters of a circle, flllifig the corners left by the crossing of the cluny lace strips. •pa Mi ot the squares and quarters of linen is ornamented with a crossstitch design worked in a combination of blues, purple and greens. The luncheon cloth is bound by an edg<"g of the cluny lace.

Sink Strainer.

One of the best and cheapest of kitchen • utensils I have discovered is a 10-cent granite colander to be used as a sink strainer. It is larger than the ordinary sink sieve and far superior in other respects. A granite cover may be added U desired. Novel .Sleeve Beard. Where there is no sleeve board wind ■mi pin a medium size bath towel around your rolling pin. Ton will find it aa good as any sleeve board. When in doubt button your lip.
