Sometimes I dream of following the sun. With even puce, from lund to land afar, Basking In' sunshine, with no night to mar The endless day, forever but begun Then Bhould I see no more the dying flowers, The naked trees, the fields froit bound and hare. The Fnowflakes sweeping through the Icy air. Nor long for spring through dreary winter hours. And yet no more to Fee the sun arise And mount the sky, the conqueror of night, No more to watch him as he proudl dies. In gold and purple clouds with drawn from sight If theso were lost, what could wo count for gain? Better to bear stern winter's chill disdain. Ninette M. I.ov.utcr. A Home In the Heart. Oh, ask not a homo In the mansions of pride. Where marble shines out In the pillars and walla: Though the roof be of gold, It Is brilliantly cold. And Joy may not be found In ita torch-llshted walls. But seek for a bosom all honest and true. Where love, once awakened, vlll never depart; Turn, turn to thut breast like '.he dove to its nest, And you'll find there's no liotrnj like a homo in the heart. Oh, link but one spirit that's warmly sincere, That will heighten your pleasviro and solace your care; Find a soul you may trust us the kind and the Just, And be sure the wldo world holds no treasure so rare. Then the frowns of misfortune may Bhadow our lot. The cheek-r.eaiing tear drops of sorrow may start. But a star never dim shines a halo for hini Who can turn for repose to a homo in the heart Klizu Cook rv.ii-Ntiiii fiuh.

Nuw York, AUTOMOItlt.K W K.Alt OX KOADS. Itcmedy Presents it Serious I'nilili'in to Hoail Hulltle: n. The damage done In maenrtam ronda by automobiles In travelling at a high rate of speed Is a subject ol no little discussion at the present time In the public press nnd by road builders. It Is held that the tires pick up and scatter the fine parti cles of material on the ruiface which, as a hinder, are essential to the life of the road. These parti cles being Mown away leave the larger stone wltho.it protection, and as a result ravelling takis place. The remedy for this already presents a problem to which road biil!Jirk need to give prompt mid caiti'vil study. As an Illustration of the -'-rloug financial side of the r,nslio!i, at tention Is called to the fact that, the Massachusetts State Highway t'oai mUi.lon, according to lepovtr., will ask for a very materially Incri-ased appropriation In order to repair the damage done to the road: 1:1 liii.t Shite. Other States are ;:lvlng the matter attention, and It h to be hoped that some practi.vil method will be found so that Macadam Koads may be made more 1 m vlomi to tho swift action of vehicular tralhc, or at least that the burden of expense of proper maintenance m;,y be evenly distributed. Some r.xpeitslve Animals, A spinster with money to burn re cently paid $0,000 for a bulldog. A man In Massachusetts has Just bought a cow for $M,000. Wnltr Garvey has a hog for vh'..ii he re fused a cash offer $4,000. James Keena refused $200,000 for Rysonby, a race horse. There are several roosters of fashionable bloo.l priced ns high as $S00 each. You can liny a fine Hon for $300 r.n-1 a tiger for $700. By and by we shall have a crn.e for breeding fishes, and a fino male salmon educated to pond life, mleht be worth $1,000. The $S,000 cow has one calf a year, worth $ 1,000. The female salmon might become tho mother of 300,000 little fellows In the same time, worth lu tho aggregate, possibly, as much ns the calf. New York Press. To Cure (Jniiwlng Horses. Some horses have a very ugly and annoying habit of gnawing their feed boxes, mangers and, i:i fact, every piece of wood In reach of them when tied In the stable, to a rack, fence or gate. A very simple and effectual preventive Is coal oil. Ap ply it with a brush or rag, so as to saturate the wood and they will not touch it as long as the smell or taste of the oil remains. Coal oil la qulto offensive to all kinds of animals. When oiling harness add a littlo kerosene to the harness oil and It will prevent rats :mu mice, or any thing else from gnawing and chew ing the leather. Pliiiio Beef oil Alfalfa. To muke prime beef on alfalfa hay alono the cattle must be hu mored ti good deal and the quantity of the hay must he all right. De spite the theories of various people, damaged hay has not the feeding value of good hay. Even if the nu tritive value were the same cattle on full feed do not eat It so readily and hence cannot do so well. Usually tho weather is good during hay mak ing periods and there Is littl.! e i-uso for stacking bleached stei".s. If wo want to get a good price, for feeding stock begin in the hayfi'. ld and see that the alfalfa I.' put ir.i with all its nutrition retalr.el ' t&lM Neuralgia. Sciatica. .Rheumatism. 'Backache.

"Our maid certainly worked de triictlon on those sherry glassm, those delicate little glasses," said tho customer to the dealer. ''There were Bix, and she broke three Ins de ef throe months!" "Oh, you go' 'ff easy, Judging from the stories that come to us," re plied the storekeeper. "Well. I Fee how It Is," said the customer. "I tried wiping a few of these glasses myself,' and the first thing I knew I wiped the side right out of one. As the maids say: 'Why they break right In the towel!' " "Now if you would wait until they are nearly dry,'" remarked tho deal er, "you'd never brfRk any at all. Take this cordial glass, with the very thin Btem. You naturally seize It by the foot and turn it while you wipe the bowl with the other hand. While the glass Is wet, the dlshtowel be tween two fingers, holds the bowl like a vise, and you Just naturally twist the stem in two. But If you lot the glass get nearly dry the towel Hps and the danger Is over." "Doesn't that make streaked glasses?" . "No, not if the water nnd towels are clean. Do not use greasy tilth towels." "Then can soa; be used In the wa ter?" "Oh, yes. We use pure white Bonn with ours. The main point la to have the water hot enough." Work Dressea, The neatest and moat serviceable work dresseB are shirt waist dresses of percale or gingham, made to but ton together at the waist, so that there can be no slipping or pulling out at the belt. As the waist In variably soils and wears out sooner than the skirt, it is advisable to make two waists for each dress, wearing them alternately, so that in case they fade all will look alike. This ar rangement saves not only the mate rial H?d sewing, but laundering as well, as It practically answers tho purpose of two dresses. In one of these dresses one may always look neat and trim at the morning work. Brandy Peaches Without Brandy. In peach season fill a Maoris Jar with clIng-Btone peaches, carefully selected and pared. Then fill in all spaces In the Jar with granulated sugar. Screw on top to Jar very tight, and bury three feet in tho ground for six months. Tho peaches will then bo ready for use; they will be covered witu niOKt delicious brand;-, and will b far richer and better flavored that when preserved in the usual way.

A good ration for the horse of any kind of feed Is about a pound of grain and one and a half pounds of hay to each hundred pounds of horse. And this would apply to alfalfa. In fact, the horse should do better on the alfalfa than with the other hays und with less grain. This might be the opportune time to say that tho majority of farmers feed too much hay of all kinds to their horses. In fact, the horse barn is where one of the greatest wastes of tho farm can bo found. Husbandman. Feeding Beet Pulps. In feeding beet pulp absoluta cleanliness should bo observed. It should bo fed in troughs or bunks provided for tho purpose and only such an amount of pulp should ho fed at one time as tho cattlo will clean up with reasonable waste, The bunks should be cleaned out dally. Cattle relish it less alter continual exposure to tho air and reject a larger percentage than they would in the case of pulp direct from the fcllo. A Good Combination. We have found that speltz and corn, mixed and ground half and half, make good feed for milk cows. Sprouted wheat Is usually so cheap that H will pay to grind and feed some of It but like spelt, it should be mixed with some other grain. One thing wo like about speltz Is it gives bulk to a mixture of ground feed. Tho trouble with ground corn is its grent weight compared with its bulk.
