TWO PARTINGS.
“Give me a kiss, that going home
My footsteps fall on air;
Give me the red-tipped mountain-rose
That nestles in your hair.’’
Her cheek upturned took the flower’s
hue
At the touch of her lover’s lips ;
The rose unbound, as it wept her face,
Caught the blush on the petals’tips
“Give me a kiss, I am going home ;
The links in my life’s chain break.
A kiss and a flower, my love from
you
Will the pain from my parting take
Her lover'bent low, as an angel light
Came into her closing eyes.
A kiss—the rose at her cheek he
placed,
But its petals, alas, were white.
Farming Facts—Boiled Down.
The Rural New Yorker offered a
prize of $50 for the best column of
pithy sentences. ’ Here it is:
Keep a dairy.
Have a home.
Keep accounts.
Firm the seed-bed.
Weeds are robbers.
Stick to your business.
Give stock salt regularly.
Rotate a variety of crops.
Keep dry underfoot.
Plant a few trees each year.
No man can farm by proxy.
Keep everything in its place.
Keep manure near the surface.
Don’t sign a paper for a stranger.
Quality is as important as quanti
ty.
Feed the soil with the food it needs.
Read agricultural books and pa¬
pers.
Consult expel ienced, successful
farmers.
Neither a chronic lefider nor a bor¬
rower be.
Use pure seed carefully selected, in
season.
Never buy land till you are sure of
the title.
Insure your property in some good
company.
Se 1 when your produce is ready
for market.
Paint will cost less than new
boards and beams.
Swine plague is not “at home’ in
the clover field.
Do all work at the very earliest
seasonable moment.
Have well and woodshed near the
kitchen door.
Have the least possible fencing,
but always substantial.
The doctor will ride on if he sees
you have a good garden.
The most profitable acres are the
deepest not the broadest.
Nature declares that to breed im¬
mature animals is poor policy.
Judiciously concentrate ail efforts,
economizing materials and stock.
Shelter farm implements. Rust
and rot eat faster than wear and
tear.
I have never heard a man complain
that he had tilled his land too well.
Better go to the lumber yard and
the crib than to the “cattle doctor.”
Money spent to make the home and
farm attractive bears good interest.
Plan work ahead. Bright brains
and brown hands make the farm pay.
Keep out of debt. When the farm
is once mortgaged it is already half
lost.
Some farming is lika a sieve—only
little leaks, but the profits all run
h rough.
The older and larger an animal
grows the more food it takes to make
a pound of gain.
Ventilate stock shelters by open¬
ings under the eaves. Light them
by glass windows.
Color the butter before it comes
from the cow with clover (green or
dry) and corn meal.
Rain and wind will not charge
any thing for hauling the manure ;
but they are dear hands.
Select crops with reference to the
size and soil of your larm, the climate
and the markets.
Farmers should seek not only to
increase tbeir productions, but to
save and market them better.

clean by using sawdust or straw lib¬
erally for bedding.
Pulverize the ground, for fining
aids solution and plant food must he
souluble to be available.
Never plant an orchard on undrain¬
ed land, or make a pasture of it. It
must be fed and tended.
A little ready cash will not wait
long for profitable use. Better baye
money in your pocket than land un¬
paid for.
A pound of flesh lost to the brute
is twice lost to the owner, for the
waste of the body must be repaired
while it is replaced.
Pumpkins, squashes, turnips beets,
etc., do not take up much room while
growing, but make a big item in the
feed and health of the farm stock.
Ventilate, light, and make warm
poultry houses, and don’t feed hens
all corn if you want them to lay. Put
sulpher in the dust bath. Provide
lime.
The general condition of success¬
ful stock-raising are good animals
regularly supplied with a reasonable
allowance of wholesale food and
drink, properly sheltered and treated.
An early spring pig kept growing
and fattening on pasture (mostly red
clover) during the summei and early
fall, and then rapidly fattened on
grain for two months, is the most
profitable hog.
Lastly, cleanliness is godliness on
the farm. Clean implements, clean
harness, clean animals, clean fence
corners, clean fields, clean garden,
clean orchard, clean seeds, clean pas¬
ture, clean yards, clean stables, clean
shelters, clean troughs, clean food,
clean water, clean litter, clean sleep¬
ing-quarters, clean granaries, and a
clean conscience.
Don’t Do It.
The following, from Trott’s Health
Monthly, deserves to be conspicu¬
ously posted in every dwelling in the
land.
Don’t sleep in a draught.
Don’t go 10 bed with cold feet.
Don’t stand over hot air registers.
Don’t eat what you do not need
just to save it.
Don’t try to get cool too quickly
after exercising.
Don’t sleep with insecure false
teeth in your mouth.
Don’t start the day’s work with¬
out a good breakfast.
Don’t sleep in a room without ven¬
tilation of some kind.
Don’t stuff a cold lest you be next
obliged to starve a fever.
Don’t try to get along without
flannel underclothing in winter.
Don’t use your voice for loud
speaking or singing when hoarse.
Don’t try to get along with less
than eight or nine hours’ sleep.
Don’t sleep in the same undergar¬
ment you wear in the day.
Don’t toast your feet by the fire,
but try sunlight friction instead.
Don’t neglect to have at least one
movement of the bowels each day.
Don’t try to keep up on coffee and
alcohol when you ought to be in bed.
Don’t drink ice water by the glass;
take it in sips a swallow at a time.
Don’t eat snow to quench thirst;
it brings on inflamation of the throat
Don’t strain your eyes by reading
or working with insufficient or flick¬
ering light.
Don’t use the eye for reading or
fine work in the twilight of evening
or early morn.
Don’t try to lengthen your days by
cutting short your night’s rest ; it is
poor economy.
Don’t wear close, heavy fur or
rubber caps or hats if your hair is
thin or falls out easily.
Don’t eat anything between meals
excepting fruits or a glas3 of hot
milk if you feel faint.
Don’t take some other person’s
medicine because you are troubled
somewhat as they were.
Preparation for Winter Wheat.
Joseph Hanis says in the Ameri¬
can Agriculturist for August:
If wiuter wheat is to be sown after
early oats, peas, beans, early pota¬
toes or corn fodder, the moment the
crop is off the ground, stick in the
plow, or gang, or cultivator. Do
not wait for rain. The weeds and
stubble will pump up more water
than any ordinary rainfall at this
season will be likely to furnish. If
you plow, nr in anywise work the
land, it, will not only destroy the
weeds and check the rapkl evapora¬
tion of water, but should we have a
shower, the lain will penetrate deeper
into the worked soil, and render it
soft and mellow. We have every¬
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
promptness in plowing immediately
after the previous crop has been har¬
vested.
In four years out of five, the prin¬
cipal difficulty in sowing winter
wheat in proper season is to get the
soil moist enough to cause the wheat
to germinate vigorously ami evenly.
We must recollect that the soil, even
during a severe drouth, contains in
the first two or three feet a great
many thousand gallons of water per
acre, still more at greater depth.
This aud water is constantly rising
towards the surface. Any growing
plant pumps it up out of the soil,
and evaporates it into the atmos¬
phere. The amount of water thus
evaporated is enormous. The bare
soil evaporatps water from the sur¬
face as long as there is any to evap¬
orate, but the loss of water from a
bare soil is nothing in comparison
with the I 068 on land where plants
are growing.
In the winter wheat section of
Western New York we sow our
wheat from the first to the twentieth
of September. It is ready to cut
from the first week in July to the
first of August, varying greatly in
this respect according.to the season.
As we go South, wheat is sown later
in the autumn and is ready to har¬
vest earlier in the summer.
Where the Hessian fly is trouble¬
some, we have to avoid early sowing
in the autumn. The fly lays its eggs
in the young wheat plants in the au¬
tumn, and late sowing is one of the
remedies. On the other hand when
wheat is liable to injury from the
Midge, we have to avoid late sow¬
ing. The Midge flies lay their eggs
in the ears of wheat when it is in
blossom, and an early crop of wheat
is far less liable to injury than a late
crop.
Fortunately, neither the Hessian
fly nor the Midge has done much
damage of late years, and the ten¬
dency among our best wheat grow¬
ers is towards earlier sowing. After
the first of September it is thought
desirable to sow as soon as the soil
can be got sufficiently moist and
mellow. It is just here where
promptness, good judgment and
science are all requisite. Rain will
help us, but it will help us still
more if we go to work M though
no rain was expected. As we said
before, there is water enough in
the soil, but it is not near enough
the surface to cause the seed to
germinate. What we have to do
is to bury all the weeds, stubble
and growing plants, and keep the
surface soil fine by the frequent use
of the cultivator, harrow and roller.
We know this is easier said than
done—but on our strong wheat
land ft is the general experience
that much of our success will de¬
pend on our ability to get the
wheat well started in the early au¬
tumn.
Small Pork.
Says the Breeder’s Gazette : One
ol the most delicious articles in the
meat line is fresh pork from youug
pigs, weighing lrom 80 to 125 lbs.
There is said to be a growing de¬
mand in the large cities for sm^H
pork of this weight, and the people
are beginning to find out that they
are good to eat.
They certainly do not want runts
of pigs that have the desired weight,
looking as old as a man ot sixty.
.
To be desirable they must be kept
fat and growing from the moment
they are dropped until they reach
the required size, when they are very
tender and Very nice eating and
command an advanced price over
anything in the market.
NUMBER 24.
The Berksliire8 make the most de¬
sirable pig for this class of pork.
They are compact and round, easy
keepers an ! early mnturers. The
city house keeperu, when they have
once found bow delicious this arti¬
cle is, will cry for move. This class
of pigs cannot be raised without
plenty of milk, t ut where butter is
mnde'skim milk can generally be had
in abundance. The Berkshires are
noted for having an abundance of
lean meat, but at the same time they
interlay it with juicy fat. The
Berkshires are also desirahlo on ac¬
count of their being free from skin
diseases, athicli are very objectiona¬
ble in pigs to be used for that pur¬
pose, and although the hair of Berk¬
shires is black, when ihey are nicely
cleaned and the hair taken off they
are as white as any.
Care of the Horse.
The following is from a prize arti¬
cle which appeared in the American
Agriculturist:
It is very important that the drink¬
ing water should be pure. The well
should not be in the barn-yard, or
it is sure to become polluted. Good
cistern water is best, if it can be ob¬
tained. Water before meals. If the
horse is very hot, give half a pailful ;
feed uncut hay and rub down.
Wheu somewhat cooled and dry,
give all it wants, then feed the grain.
In summer, pump a large trough full
an hour before the horses come from
the field; let them drink about three
gallons each, then wait a moment,
and afterwards permit them to take
all they want.
Salt once a week is often enough
on dry feed. When in pasture, it
should be placed where the horses
can obtain it as desired. Provide
plenty of bedding, and see that it is
dry. Shake it up the last thing at
night, and remove all that is wet or
soiled. Straw, forest leaves, saw¬
dust, or any material that is dry and
absorbent is good. Use the curry^
comb and brush, whether the animal
is dirty or not. Go over the animal
from head to foot, once a day at
least. Be very careful not to scratch
or hurt in the least. Good horses
are often made vicious by rough
currying. If it is thin haired aud
tender, use a stiff bristle or wire
brush instead of a currycomb.
Wash off the dirt that is difficult to
remove, then rnb dry with a cloth
and brush. Comb out the mane aud
tail, and keep them smooth. There- i
is much pride in a horse, and it j
should be promoted rather t hat
restrained.
Harness a horse gently; keep the
collar clean and have it fit. Adjust
the harness so that no part hangs
loose, or chafes. Do not check
tight, or use blinders. Fly-nets for
horses are invaluable in 8y time. A
horse will always do its utmost wil¬
lingly for a kind master. Do not
worry the life of a fast, high-spirited
horse by working it with a slow one.
After a day’s work in summer, turn
it into a yard to roll and straighten
the limbs. Never let a horse stand
out of doors unblanketed after dri
ving in cold weather. Do not worry
a horse when driving by continually
clucking or talking to him. Teach
the animal to start and stop by
voice and obey a light movement of
the reins. A horse may be taught »
great deal by an intelligent driver,
but the words of command should he
few and distinctly pronounced.
