COUNSEL.

Oft have I counseled with myself And urged: “Be blithe and bonny; You have no name, you have no fams, You have but little money; s Yet had you name and shining fame And pocketfuls of money, All ag you list, the very best . - Were to be blithe and bonny.

® Some men of -years less ripe than yours - Are well beloved of Honor; = No heartening glance at you she throws== “Ah, do not dote upon her! The clouds float white, the sun shines bright, * Your eyes.are clear as any; N The rose is nodding on the bush, Go you, be blithe and bonny! . 5

% These blue-arched skies and sailing clouds With fresh sea winds a-blowing, Made young the olden days of Greece ‘When mightier fame was growing. Then genius wrought—its marbles shine, Its pages still are glowing; § Yet happy who nor wrote nor carved, ° But saw the roses blowing.” - ) ) -~Williston Fish, in Puck.

JEANIE’S LOVE LETTERS.

Her Romance Was Certainly a

Peculiar One.

Jeanie Campbell came back from the tailor's sHop where she worked and found a company of boys and girls congregated round the doorstep of the talk tenement house in which she rented one small, back room. They were hooting and jeering at a man seated in his shirt sleeves on the doorstep placidly smoking a huge German porcelain pipe. The man did not seem in the least disturbed by their jeers and shrieks, but smoked on with his eyes fixed upon the only strip of sunset sky visible above the grimy roofs. Jeanie pushed her way in. “What's the matter?”

*Yah—Dutehy! I'nt ’e a- blooming soft!: Give a boy a snillin’ to go and fetch ’im something to eat, and is witing ‘ere for ‘m! Pnt ’e a stylel Wonder ‘ow long he’ll wite!” ' “Who is he?” - ) .

‘A blooming Dutchy! ‘e carnt speak no English, ’e carnt—’as to malke signs —and nobody ‘ere can speak nothink else. I'nt’e asofty!” 7 : The girl paused and looked at the man. ‘There was something in his patient attitude that aroused her pity. Nome softer remembrance of the days before she came to this great, wicked London.came over her. The man’s eyes, so blue, clear and bright, and the healthy tinge of his wholesome face, smote upon her with a pang of recollection of the honest Scottish faces she had left with contempt for their content, when she had started forth to see life in London. . “

She went up to the man and signed to him to follow her indoors. She tried ‘to make him understand that he had been robbed. The soft, gentle tones that answered her were quite unintelligible; he smiled, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and looked .at her with that calm trustfulness one sees in dogs and children. She smiled, nodded, pointed up the stairs and then ran out of the house. She returned with a loaf of bread: and a half pound of sausages for himand a ‘roll for herself; she would make that do; he/ was-a strangér, alone and friendless. . » : She put the things in his hand, point+hg down the street as if to indicate that she had brought the things from the boy. 'He seemed to understand, took her hand and raised it to. his lips; the action was so- simple, so grateful, that she felt ashamed and ran up the stairs to her own room. : Her comfortless breakfast of a dry roll the next morning made her a little regretful of her charity the night before. ‘““He must shift for himself as I have to do,” she thought, and she went out to her day’s work. . : When she returned in the evening she found him standing outside the door. He bowed and smiled, openéd his door and showed his various purchases on his table. He had evidently found his way round to shops. She went up the stairs, feeling the least little bit disappointed that he did not require her help any more. He seemed different from the jaded, wulgar men and women she came in contact with in her city life. The air of the fields seemed to cling to him still. She thought as she toiled up the weary ‘stairs- how sweet the country must be looking now. Was the sun shining on the hills at home and making the waters of the loch sparkle—the bonnie hills that she would never see again? Friends were dead, and to a tailoress at twelve shillings a week it was indeed a far cry to Loch Awe. 3

Something was on her table, a little sketch of a sweep of wide hills, with fir forests clinging to their sides, a little cluster of houses with wide overhanging roofs, and shutters in the windows. A figure was standing in the’ doorway of one of the houses. *“This is his- house,” said Jeanie to herself. “What a funny thing to do, to give me a picture of it! I wish I could send him back one of Loch Awe, and our house up on the braes.” - The next day was Sunday; she usually passed the morning in bed, tired out with her week’s work. When she came, down about the middle of the day she met him coming in, evidently in his Sunday best. Could he have been to church? Well, it was clear he had not learned the<manners of Eureka court yet. _ She tried to express her thanks by looks and smiles. He seemed to understand, and laughed, and then she felt with a quick touch of dismay that he glanced in surprise at her untidy dress and towzled hair. Jeanie did not “tidy” herself until afternoons; then in an enormous hat and feathers and much-becurled head she perambulated the adjacent streets in company with girls of her acquaintance, not yet vicious, only ignorant, vain and craving for a little of that happiness which seems to all girls their birthright. That same hair was in wrappers now —she blushed as she recalled the fact—her hands were grimy, her. face unwashed. His eyes noted it. o " They did not meet again during the ‘weelk, but next Sunday morning found Jeanie with her hair out of papers and her hands washed; she was loitering at the street corner when he came backin his spruce clothes. She gave hima pert nod; she felt annoyed with him for some unknown reason, and that } evening made herself as resplendent as possible in her cheap, gaudy finery. - “He shall see that 1 can be smart, too,” she thought, and tossed her head as he approached. id : ‘He stopped, and, drawing a notebook from his poeket, rapidly sketched a church front upon it. She shook her head. Hé looked puazzied; then his quick fingers drew the outside of one of the eommonest type of meeting:|

house. She shook her head again, and moved offt. Somehow she did not. like to show him how she spent her Sunday ‘evenings. . i

The weather became very hot. Jeanie droopéd "more and more in the unhealthy workroom and stuffy streets. He seemed to notice it, for on’ Saturday night she found a drawing of trees and a path and figures walking about, and underneath the figures 2:30. Could he be asking her to go for a walk? She waited in to see. ' . At 2:30 a knock came at her door, There he was, with his square, ugly, good-natured face smiling at her. She felt awkward ‘going down- the stairs with him. What could they do during the whole walk if neither could speak to the other? But that walk did not take place. The smart tie around her neck had been the price of her dinnei: she turnred faint and reeled, then sat down on the stairs and burst into tears.

- She hardly knew if she was vexed or pleased to find herself picked up like a baby and carried up to her own room and laid upon her bed. She sat up and drank some water, while he stood looking perplexed at her, and she blushed that he should see her untidy, disorderly room. )

He went out. In a few minutes she heard her door open, and something pushed along the floor. It was a little jug of hot coffee and milk and a plate of German rolls. :

The next day another picture was left. It represented a large workshop, with men sitting.at tables, all busily engaged over some mechanical work; underneath was written the figures 30s.

‘With unskiliful fingers she drew an outline of a coat and waistcoat and a needle and thread and posted it at his door as she went out; but she had to come back again, she was so illj and all day she lay there alone, waiting for what was the only friendly signal in the world to her, the scrap of paper of the foreign artist. She heard it pushed under the door at last, and feebly rose and groped for it. Her head was throbbing so that she could scarcely see that it contained a whole line of portraits—an elderly man and woman, and younger faces, among which was his own. His family doubtless.

She made a rough outline of her hat, with a sharp oval for a face underneath. She was too ill to get it down to him. She pushed it out and trusted that he would get it. She heard him in the morning come up again, and then she heard no more, for the fever seized upon her, and when next ‘she woke to conseciousness she was lying on a hospital bed. For days she was too weak to speak or think, but, when she was able, one Of the nurses asked her if she would like to see some papers which had been brought to the hospital for her, and the nurse spread them out before her. The first was of a man following a stretcher through the streets, then the same man sitting alone in a solitary room with his head bowed upon his vhand and weeping. The next, the same man at a door, evidently asking questions of a porter within. The next, the man was beside a bed on which lay a deathlike figure. ““Has he been to see me?” .

“Yes, it was when we thought you were dying he came every day, but we could not tell him anything, no one could speak his language, but at last we found it was Wendish, from the borders of Saxony and Bohemia, and one of the doctors here got him a book in it, by which he could study English. You will see by the sketches.” L " The next one represented the ‘man with the book in his hand.

The next showed the man in a train, and then on board a steamer, and then in another train. .

Jeanie dropped the papers. “‘He is gone!” she said, with a little weak cry. ‘‘Oh, why have I got any better?” ’ i

“‘There is another picture,” said the nurse, and she unrolled it for the trembling girl. ‘ :

The man had arrived at the little village Jeanie remembered in his first sketch, tihen the interior of a house was shown, a coffin lay in the middle of the room, an old woman, two girls and three men knelt around it. “His father is dead,” said Jeanie, and she turned to the mext.. The man was at the hospital door. _ - “Oh, heis coming back!” she cried.

*See, 'this is the last,” said the nurse. and as she held it up she laughed. It was the man on one knee before a girl—Jeanie in her outrageous hat; but there was in a little sketch, up in the right-hand corner, as if it was yet in the distance, the same little village with the pine forests around, the two figures, the man and Jeanie, walking arm in arm up the village street. ' el The nurse held her sides for laughing. : *lt’s the funniest thing T ever saw in ‘my life!” she said. Jeanie gathered her papers together -with some dignity. ' “I don’t callit fuanny,” she said. *I | —I think it was just the nicest thing E that ever was done to a girl.” “My loofe!” said a voice at her side, and there was the man. Jeanie gave a little cry. “My loofe!” said the man again; ‘‘it is my first Engleesh to you, and it will be my last. My loofe!” . And Jeanie, with all the dreams of her girlhood back upon her, put her arms around his - neck, and sobbing, said: “And [ don’t even know your name, but I don’t care for anything in the -world but you.”—N. Y. Tribune.

Went In to Win. : Of the thirty-six women who, under the leadership of Miss Annette Daisy, made a run into the Cherokee strip when it was opened last September, twenty-two have persevered in their undertaking and are now .hauling the lumber themselves for a house of fifteen rooms, which they will occupy. Their section of four hundred and eighty acres is well watered and timbered. They already have three teams, two cows, chickens and other stock, and, neatly dressed in short skirts that come just below the knee and are met by heavy woolen leggins that cover the legs from knee to ‘ankle, they ap- { pear ready forall the farming operai tions their pioneer enterprise involves.

RANK EXTRAVAGANCE. Bottomless Mud Roads Cost- Farmers Many Millions Each Year. ‘The important queéstion of better country roads is being agitated, though not as much as its importance demands. When will farmers understand how extravagant it is for them to use poor roads? The extra cost for wear and tear, the smaller amouht a team can haul, the annoyance_of having to use bad roads, and the greatly depreciated value of real estate along such roads, are items 'of too much importance to be overlooked. Now, I want to make one.or two suggestions as to how our roads may be greatly improved with hut a trifling additional expense. Make the road-tax a cash tax, the same as other taxes. Money judiciously ex-

EACH WHEEL TIRE IS A ROAD ROLLER. “Soon the broad tires began to roll and pack the road surface; and it is now difficult to exsggerate the great benefit these tires have produced in keeping the road smooth and hard, and the amount of labor they have saved in the work of hauling and repairs.”’—Good Roads. pended will ‘go twice as far in improving our roads as the same amount paid in work by the taxpayer, who works out his tax when it best suits his convenience, and often when the road is not in the best condition to be improved. It is the style, in many places, for the people to get together, and, without any well-arranged plan, to have a good jolly time visiting and, at the same time, cancelling their roadtax without even making any attempt at permanent improvement, when a good reliable supervisor, with just a sufficient number of hands and teams to work to advantage, would be able to make permanent repairs, instead of the temporary slipshod work that would bave to be done over every year. Anpother important matter is to have vehicles so constructed that they will do the least amount of damage to the roads. TFor instance, all heavy draft wagons should be made with wide tires, say four to five inches wide, which would, in a great measure, prevent rutting. A narrow tired wagon, carrying one and a half to two tons, is bound, especially when the ground is soft, to cut down till it reaches something solid, such as a stone or'root. It is not an uncommon thing, especially in the spring or fall, when much heavy hauling is done, tosee rutsdeep enough to let the wheels down half way to the hub, If late in the fall and the ground suddenly freezes up, as it often does in a night, these deep ruts may remain for weeks. A broad tire acts as a roller, and instead of rutting, smooths and hardens the track, and the friction or resistance is so much less that much greater loads can- be hauled.. A man who does a great deal of hauling, mostly of green lumber, told me the other day that with his broad-tired

wagon he could haul four tons as easy as he could haul three tons on a nar-row-tired wagon. The farmer can haul his grain and hay over the farm with greater ease, and without making ruts through the field s with the broadstired wagon. . o

How to bring about a change: If the legislature would pass.an act requiring all heavy draft wagons made after the passage of said act to have wide tires, or if a certain amount would be deducted from every person’s road tax who uses wide tires, I think the change could readily be broughtabout. Wheelmen were quick to learn the superior advantage of wide tires. You could scarcely sell a bicycle with the oldfashioned narrow tire at any price, the wide-tired ones run so much easier.

Before closing this article, I would like to advise every one who keeps horses to have a small box in each stall always supplied with salt. A horse will then only eat of it when he needs it, and never too much.—C. -H. Dana, in N. Y. Witness. .

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

.CREAM is ripe when it has a glossy appearance. : :

. THERE is no objection, nay some advantage, in using butter color if you don’t overdo the matter. 3

Cows ARE not kept for their company, therefore why let them go dry four to six months out of the year? MiLk when pure and fresh can be heated without injury, but cream must not be heated after it becomes acid.

OF course every dairy farmer has laid in a supply of ice for next summer’s use. It is something you need in your business. : :

A- CREAMERY, when rightly conducted, is a blessing to any community, but it takes a good while for some farmers to see the point. :

DARK cow stables are an abomination because disease is an abomination, and darkness is conduncive to disease. Let in the sunlight. - : 1¥ you keep your milk and cream ‘in the cellar along with turnips, potatoes and rotten pumpkins, and have no other place to keep it, sell your cows.

WE have seen farmers kick their cows without mercy. How much more sensible it would be for them to kick the stable door, and the same result would be attained—they would give their wrath vent.—American Farmer.

New Concrete for Roads.

A successful -application has been ‘made, it appears, of the newly-invented road concrete, some time agou described in the papers of Germany, and its usefulness in various directions seems to be assured. Curiously enough,shavings aund planing mill chips, either of common or fancy woods, and which may be stained bLefore use if desired, are mixed with cheese—or rather, casein—calcined magnesian limestone, glycerin, silicate of soda and a little linseed oil, and this combination of substances is forced by hydraulic pressure into molds, where it is allowed sufficient time to harden. When dry, the composition is strong and solid and can be sawed, plaiued, - polished and varnished. Among its vavious proposed uses are ornamental panels and wall surface coverings, e,g;.--N. Y. Sun. _ ;

WHY WE EAT BUTTER. Because It Is the Most Energy-Producing ¥Food Known. Energy and strength are not quite the same. Prof. Roberts, of Cornell, lately said at a meeting: ‘‘When I sit down to the table and partake of good butter I transform it into energy. Each unit of butter is worth two and a half times as many units of energy in’ the original form. More than that. I can sit down to my desk after having eaten the butter and burn the butter. If I sit down to my table and eat a piece of pork, I have got to rush out to the woodpile in the open air and exercise, in order to get this proper food, this less concentrated, less refined food digested, or I will have a headache. How quickly the student, coming from hjs open-air life, as he begins: to use his brain, leaves that pork aside and reaches his k‘nifg ozel; for that butter plate. Why don’'t the Indian become civilized more easily and quickly? If you could have got him to eat butter you could have civilized him. Prof. Henry tells us that the average per capita in Wisconsin is si4 worth of butter in a year. Now. what does this mean? It means a great effect upon the futuve civilization of unborn millions of people, the. idea of refined, well-cooked food. We cannot have this most perfect of all energy-producing food—the highest class of food known to the human family, good aromatic butter-—without - intelligent handling of the cow, and that is why we take good corn and oats and cotton-seed meal and make food ten times more scarce than it was before, because you make it more than ten times as valuable as energy-producing food. How to make that fine quality of food is what we are trying to learn.

DOES YOUR COW PAY?

The Only Way to Find Out Is by Making Systematic Tests.

There are thousands of cows kept for the dairy and for domestic use which do not pay for their keep and should as soon as possible be sold t> the butcher.As long as this class of stock is toler= ated to a large extent the same kind of stock will be perpetuated by breeding from inferior animals. By a constant weeding out and by a careful selection of the best to be found the standard will be rapidly raised and the profits of the dairy - will be greatly enhanced. The question now arises as to the most perfect method of testing the capacity of the cow to produce when she is provided with all the requisites of food and care. The scientists have provided the instrument for making the tests of percentage of butter fat in the milk and the one universally indorsed is the Babcock tester. Then the milk may be weighed and an estimate made on what the cow will produce in a year, or during the period of lactation. 1n testing a cow it is found that the fourth month after calving she gives milk near the average quality for the whole year. Make two tests, fifteen days apart; and in each test use the milk of eight consecutive milkings, and the average of these two tests will give the approximate average of the quality for the year. By knowing the amount of milk given during the year one can then get a pretty accurate estimate of the quantity of butter fats the cow gives.—Western Rural. . A MILKING STOOL, ' If Has a ¥ixture Which Makes the Pail { Self-Supporting. Boys can milk before they can hold a pail of milk between their knees, and most milkers would likke the pail to hold itself. With stool illustrated herewith, the pail is self-supported.

It is impossible for the dairyman to sncceed unless he pays close attention to the kind and character of the different products of the soil that enter into the cow’s ration, as well as studying closely the best and cheapest way bt producing them. While the cow will eat almost any plant we may grow on the farm, it is not wise to argue that all of them are best suited to her wants, or that she should be confined to any one or two varieties without due regard to character, simply because they happen to be produced in abundance on the farm. Many farmers ridicule the idea of a balanced.ration, and will feed whatever they happen to have or can produce with the least trouble. The fact that food for any .animal and for any purpose becomes a question of the proper proportions of protein or carbohydrates must not, and cannot, profitably, be ignored. —Farmer’s Voice.

Keep the Udder Clean.

It has been often advised to wash the excrement off from a cow’s udder that has soiled it by hér lying in a dirty stable. That is perfectly commendable, but did you ever think that a dairyman who did not bed his cows down neatly to prevent any besoilment of this kind would be the last one to ever keep her teats clean when it did occur? Cold weather ought not to make a cow’s teats feel clammy and bloodless if she 15 kept in a comfortable stable, any more than it should make a man’s hands proverbially cold who wears warm woolen mittens. —George E. Newell, in American Cultivator. -

Fine Highways in; Ireland.

- A Yorkshire (England) correspondent writes to the Bicycling News extolling the superiority of Irish roads for wheel locomotion and strongly advocating a tour in Ireland for the bicycle holiday maker. He'says that the only drawback to a perfect enjoyment of the rcads is in an entire absence of finger posts and milestones, but some compensation for this is to be found in the cheerful readiness of the natives to assist, which is one of the chief characteristics of the Irish race. :
