A VISION OF YOUTH.
ID meadows sweet where my bare feet
I Once twinkled In the clovei1,
And bloom and bee delighted me
Ere I became a rover,
Bearded und gray 1
stray to-day,
ftAnd trom them to the wildwood,
Again to seek—again to speak
The happiness of childhood.
Cooled by the breeze near whisp'ring trees,
I lie and look and listen,
Till nature's truth and dreams of youth
In all their glory glisten.
In changing skies my happy eyes
Find castles great and steepled,
That years ago, full well I know,
I built and owned and peopled.
Ill-fortune, tears, mistakes that years
Have added to life's sorrow
I thrust behind—keep out of mind-
Forget until to-morrow:
Nor cloud nor storm could now transform
This vision of my pleasure,
E'en after rain Pel try again
To find the rainbow's treasure.
—J. A. Waldron, In Leslie's Newspapei.
BUBDETTE ON THE ROAD.
Some of the Humorous Experi­
ences of the Lecturer.
Six Horses Harnessed Abreast Could Not
Draw Him from the Platform-De­
lights of the Sleeping-Car—
Riding on Freight.
Probably there is no occupation in the
world that gives a man such an easy life
and large profits as lecturing. I don't
suppose that six horses, harnessed
abreast, could draw me from the plat­
form. It is just like lolling around in a
June meadow, picking up gold dollars
instead of buttercups.. Now, last Tues­
day night I lectured in Granville, N. Y.
didn't leave a dollar in the town. Next
morning I got up at 4:46 o'clock, got into
a buggy, piled a valise weighing four
hundred pounds—no, sir, I won't take off
one ounce—on my feet, and drove eleven
miles through a pelting, driving rain­
storm, over muddy roads to a station on
the D. & H. C., that has a train five
times a year. At Granville they have
one every spring. Well, I got a train,
and changed cars once or twice and got
more trains, and finally got to Albany
at 10:85. May be I didn't want my
breakfast. Sat down to a table and
drove a restaurant man to despair,
bankruptcy and suicide. Got on the
cars again, and at 6:S0 that evening,
without stop or stay for bite or sup, got
off at my station. Raining like a house
afire and two miles to drive. Fun? I
ion't care so much for the actual lectur­
ing, but the getting from one place to
another I do enjoy.
And then, the pleasure of travel. Do
you know, some weeks, I have sat still
in the cars, one day after another, from
3 a. m. to 4, 5, 6 or 7 p. m., without mov­
ing, save at meal time? How do you
3uppose an active man, fond of walking,
snjovs that sort of thing? It's enough
to drive a graven image mad with
nervousness.
"But can't I read?" asks Feeblemind.
Say, when you are reading, and one of
your lovely, loving and beloved children
somes up and takes hold of the back of
the chair and begins to shake it—don't
jou make her quit it right away? And
if she doesn't stop, don't you box her
3ars with your precious book?
What! Don't lie to me I've seen you
lo it.
Well, that's the way the jig-jog, rat­
tle-rattle, shake and shiver of the car
iffect me. It just about drives me wild.
"But I can while away the time in
pleasant conversation with—"
Oh, can I? Do you remember reading
about the remains of a well-dressed man
found in the Genesee river, who was
supposed to have fallen from an Erie
train while passing Portage Falls?
Well, the last time that man was seen
ilive, he had lifted my 400 ton—"said
400 pounds* a little while ago?"—I said
tons, both times you can look back and
see—he had lifted my 500-ton valise
from my seat, and crowded himself in
jn me for what he called "a little chat."
I enjoy conversation, but not in a boiler
factory. If you were having a quiet
conversation in you parlor would you
like the children to come in and make
as much noise as a railway train? I
trow not. Well, I don't like it either.
The man who wastes time trying to
Iraw me into a conversation on a roar­
ing, crashing, buzzing railroad train will
get much better results, and quite as
aleasant ones to himself, if he will hold
jis naked eye out of the window and
look for cinders.
"But why don't I travel at night and
Jake the sleeper?" Because, imbecile,
light is my time for work and I lecture
jnly in towns where sleepers either go
ihrough in the afternoon or the express
drains don't stop. You might as well
isk the patriots to have their torchlight
processions in the morning. And as for
sleeping in a sleeper, could you sleep in
four bed at home if it was about as wide
is a coffin and seven feet from the
Hoor and twenty-two inches from the
setting, with pillows twenty-eight
inches square and a blanket of two
inch felt and somebody shook and
swung the bed all night, and at inter­
vals a freight train, blowing a whistle
and ringing a bell, ran through the hall
and jumped down stairs, and once or
twice in the night they pulled your
house out of the lot and jammed it up
against another house, and just as you
got calmed down a truck inspector should
come under your window and yell "Try
your air!" and then some men should
crawl under the house and hammer and
pound and wrench at the joists for twen­
ty minutes, and then the engineer should
"try his air" again and the men under
the hpuse should yell "Whoop!" and the
man under your window should yell,
"Whoop! Whoopee! Shut her off, Bill!"
And then your house should groaa and
grunt and bump, and then go roaming
and whirling off down street thirty-five
or forty miles an hour? Could you sleep?
Well, that's sleeping-car slumber, to me,
And you don't like todccupy a room with
any one else, do you? I don't, too. Well,
now, suppose you had a long, narrow
room, with twenty-four beds and- thirty
or thirty-five people sleeping in them
thirty or thirty-five pairs of boots ajjd
shoes—all sorts of hoots and shoes, too—
standing around tibe room not less than
'•'i twenty snorers in the orchestra? Well,
fftftt'g sleeping-cter slumbec. It teats sit­
ting u? all night, all to pieces. But 11
isn't luxury and it isn't comfort. It
oosts like it, and I must say it's worth the
price, but it isn't comfort. It's merely a
protection against greater dis­
comfort. In times of siege and
famine, men have paid twenty dol­
lars for a rat and have eaten it greedily.
But that wasn't because rats were even
then considered luxuries it was because
it was rat or nothing. When the un­
grateful man got back to porterhouse
steak again he let the cats have the
rats. You may talk about "luxurious
palaoes of princely comfort"—as the
man with a pass is apt to do—but I
maintain that sleeping in one not very
large room, with thirty-five people,
thirty-five snores, thirty-five breatiis
and seventy second-hand boots and
shoes, is not a luxury and whatever the
man with the pass may say, I don't be­
lieve that Kings and Princes who live
in real palaoes sleep forty in a bed-room,
boots, breath, feet and all. True, I have
never been abroad, and can't say how
Kings may live, but I believe they have
more room and fewer bed-fellows than
that.
"Well then," asked the Ass, when I
grumbled thus far—I don't mean half
the savage things 1 say when I growl—
"why don't you ride on the freight
trains?"
I do, whenever the oompany will let
me. They're not so tiresome. You can
move about in the big caboose. Some­
times the conduotor invites you up into
the "dome"—what a nice, breezy out­
look it is. I wonder the couductor and
rear brakeman don't turn artist and
poet, and go out and teach and amuse
the people. And once in awhile the
brakeman will take you by the hand
and take you for a promenade-over the
tops of the swaying cars. I've tried it.
It's like walking on the back of a snake.
I never walked on the back of a snake,
but that is just like it.
You get more of a variety in such a
walk than you would think. This is a
White Line car we're on now, and this
next one an old Wabash box car, eight
inches lower "jump down!" your heart
jumps into your mouth as you jump, but
you're alive all these are foreign cars of
different makes and differing heights,
and they rock and roll and lope along
with mongrel gait, like a horse
that trots in front and paces be­
hind this long car is a cotton
car this high monster is a car for
shipping carriages in or something of
that sort right next it is an old squatty
box car, with a batten roof it looks two
miles down you jump, but your heart
flies clear out of the top of your head
and you don't get it back again on the
trip. Then you walk over a car of lum­
ber that's nice it has an easy, smooth­
ing, comforting motion, and the pleasant
smell of the pine and hemlock and cedar
is tranquilizing then you scramble into
a car of coal and then, you climb over
a Red Line car it's an empty," and as
you walk over the top your guide hears
the voices of the merry tramps holding
high wassail within. His face darkens,
he goes back to the ore car and return­
ing lies down to hurl two
dollars' worth of highly-protected
raw material into the hilarity.
I'll fix you laddy-bucks next stop!" he
roars and the merriment ceases changed
alas, to remarks not suited for publica­
tion. Then you get down on an
empty fiat. This is jolly. A lands­
man isn't afraid on this. It looks
so low, and long and broad, and humps
itself along with such good-natured, easy
roughness, that it's a perfect nursery. I
once said that a canal boat was the ideal
vehicle of travel. Now I begin to thiilk
that a lounge and an easy chair on a
flat-car, with may be a low railing
around the car, so that you couldn't pos­
sibly fall off, knocks the canal-boat out.
If I were president of a railroad. I'd fix
a flat-car up- that way and travel on it.
But much a railway president knows
about railway travel. When he travels
he takes a ship and goes to Europe.
But here, we've got up to the engine,
and we can't go any further without spe­
cial permission. And this is the water
tank, and here we stop, and you and I
will get into a safe place, up on top of
the high carriage car, and see our brake
men, who is the soul of hospitality,
make it pleasant for his chronic ene­
mies, the tramps.—Burdette, in Brook­
lyn Eagle.
A Railroad on Tree-Tops.
It may not be known outside of the
neighborhood in which it is situated,
but it is nevertheless a fact, that in
Sonoma County, Cal., there exists an
original and successful piece of railroad
engineering and building that is not to
be found in the books. In the upper
part of the county named, near the coast,
may be seen an actual road-bed in the
tree-tops, between the Clipper mills
and Stuart Point, where the road crosses
a deep ravine. The trees are sawed off
on a level with the surrounding hills,
and the timbers and ties laid on the
stumps. In the center of the ravine
mentioned two huge redwood trees,
standing side by side, form a substantial
support. These giants have been lopped
off seventy-five feet above the bed of the
creek. This natural-tree bridge is con­
sidered one of the wonders of the Golden
State, and for safety and security far
exceeds a bridge framed in the most
scientific manner.—St. Louis Republic.
The Results of Liberality.
6n the death of the elder Krupp one
of the first acts of his son and successor
was to give to the town of Essen the
sum of £15,000 for public improvements,
which he followed by another dona­
tion of £50,000 for the creation of a fund
for the benefit of his sick, disabled work
men. The interest in the welfare of
the employes which was shown in this
and similar ways has been very bene­
ficial to the firm's interests. The
Krupp Gun Works has the piok of the
labor market at the ordinary wages,
and during the recent strikes in West­
ern Germany they were in no way af­
fected. While 100,000 workmen from
the majority of the large establishments
in the neighborhood were on strike,
causing an entire suspension of work,
Krupp's works never had to sttspend op­
erations for an hour, though the total
number of persons employed exceed)
twenty-five thousand—Glasgow Mail.
FARM AND GARDEN.
TOOLS FOR THE ORCHARD.
The Successful Fruit-Grower Should Have
Bvery Oae of These.
All the tools needed and used by our
old settlers were an axe and an augur,
and with them they would construct
houses and repair sleighs, wagons? and
implements, and this probably much
better than they could have done
it with a full set of carpenter's
and wagon-maker's tools, if such
were suddenly given to them. To do
the best work requires not only the
proper tools, but also skill in their use.
The average orchardist probably had

few if any of the implements for the
care of trees here illustrated, and he
may get along very well without, if he
uses a common pruning saw, knife, etc.,
properly. Yet the possession of perfect
tools affords not a little satisfaction to
the user, and it often facilitates the
work wonderfully. The implements
here shown are suoh as are in use by
German orchardists. Fig. 1 is a pruning
saw fastened to a handle Figs. 2 and 3

ened to a handle, and used in pulling or
gauging off superfluous sprouts.
One of the greatest advantages which
the possession of these various imple­
ments secures is deliverance from the
necessity of climbing all over the trees.
The work can mostly be done while
standing on the ground or on common
step-ladders.

Acute and Chronle Glanders.
Acute glanders usually sets in with
shivering fits, which may be unnoticed,
the hair stands on end, the extremities
cold, the pulBe hard in character, the
temperature elevated perhaps 103 or 104
degrees Fahr., appetite capricious,
and on moving a marked stiffness is
noticed. At this period there is no dis­
charge from the nostrils, but the lining
membrane is of a dull lead color.
When a case had progressed thus far it
is not possible to recognize glanders.
After two or three days, however, dur­
ing which time there is an extraordinari­
ly rapid emaciation, a more or less pro­
fuse gummy or sticky discharge issues
from one or both noBtrils to which it
tenaciously adheres also to the halter
shank and surrounding wood-work, coat­
ing it as with thick, gummy varnish. If
the nasal mucous membrane is now ex­
amined it will be found profusely
studded with various-sized ragged-edged
ulcers. Coincident with this period the
air may make a whizzing sound in pass­
ing through the nasal cavities owing to
their partial occlusion from thickening.
The animal may remain in this condi­
tion but for a few days, sometimes for
several weeks. It gradually emaciates,
however, and eventually dies.—Breeder's
Gazette.
IT will cost but a trifle to use ordinary
building-paper in the stable. As it can
be fastened to the walls in a very short
time, it should be used especially on
the north side. It is usually .fastened
on the inside of the walls and held in
place with plastering-lath, which are
nailed over the p^per, the lath being
two feet apart Paper is an excellent
non-conductor of heat, and serves ad­
mirably in keeping out draughts. It
should be used in all stables that are
not closely built and warm.
IF you have any fears of more or less
danger with trees set out in the fall of
being injured by thawing and freezing,
draw up a small mound of earth around
them and remove attain in the spring.
FEEDING 8TOOK^
The Stockman Most Be Gorerned ln This
by Circumstances and Surroundings.
No plan of feeiding can be considered
best under all conditions or be the most
profitable at all seasons, says the St.
Louis Republio. What will be the best
in one looality will not always be the
bast in another. The purpose for which
the animals are fed will make a differ­
ence in tp rations that should be given
if the desired results are to be secured
economically.
When a rotation of crops is oarrled
out and different kinds of stock are kept
with a view of using all the various
produets to the best advantage, combina­
tions can be made that will lessen the
cost of feeding the stock kept on the
farm or fattened for market. All things
considered, the best plan of general
farming is to carry out a regular system
of rotation, growing a variety of crops
and keeping a sufficient number of the
different kinds of stock to consume them
to the best advantage.
During growth it will be found quite
an item to use such materials as will
develop bone and muscle. After the
animals are matured and are being fin­
ished for the market, materials best cal­
culated to secure the laying on of fat
should be used. Stock that is being
wintered over will require more or less
food that will aid to maintain animal
heat. This is unnecessary during the
summer, and in this latter season rather
a cooling diet will be preferred. With
cows kept for milk a different ration
should be provided from that used when
fattening cattle for market. Brood sows
or growing pigs need a different ration
from hogs being fattened for market.
Science in feeding implies the selection
and combining of such materials as are
best adapted for and will secure the de­
sired results at the lowest cost.
The advantage in cutting and grind­
ing all the feed is that a better oppor­
tunity is afforded of making what may
be termed complete rations, and lessen­
ing the waste.
During the winter, with all classes of
stock, more corn should be given In the
ration on account of its value in creat­
ing and maintaining animal heat, and
with fattening stock because it pro­
motes the laying of fat
Bran and oil meal make a good feed
for cows and all kinds of breeding stock
because they increase the flow of milk.
Oats and barley are valuable to feed
to all kinds of growing stock because
they contain the elements needed for
the development of bone and muscle.
They are also good feeds for summer be­
cause they are cooling.
Timothy and red-top hay are best for
horses, while olover and millet are best
for milch cows and sheep. Clover is
best for hogs, while blue grass and
pasture grasses are best for horses and
sheep. In this way all the farm products
may be used to the best advantage by
feeding out to stock, and there will be
less waste than when a specialty is
made of one or two kinds of products,
or one or two classes of stock.
DRY FODDER ENSILAGE.
What an Iowa Farmer Thinks of It
After Five Tears' Trial pe Prefers It
to Green.
I have had five years' experience with
green ensilage, and four years with
corn cut and shocked in the milk, and
after standing a month run through the
cutter, ears and all, into the silo, and I
must say I like the dry fodder best
There is less labor in handling
and a sure thing in keeping. I
found my wooden silo, at the end
of three years' use with green en­
silage, was rotten and in need of re­
pairs, and I lost by mold and rot from
ten to twenty-five per cent, a loss I
could ill afford, but since using dry en­
silage I have not lost a pound.
I find that I can put as many stalks of
dry corn through as of green, as it ele­
vates much easier. I have used five
different cutters, and not one of them
will do half as much as the manufact­
urers claim for them. I have no par­
ticular praise for any make, only that
the Tornado cuts the most uniform of
any. I tried cocking corn after C. S.
R.'s direction after leaving it long
enough to see how it would keep. I
hauled it out on the pasture and found
it rotten on the bottom. "No more,
I have tried every kind of corn that
is recommended, bilt find the small yel­
low dent the best It gives abetter
yield of grain to stalk of any, and does
not grow so tall, making it much easier

Combined Kettle and Tank-Heater.
The experience of many leading dairy­
men has proved that it is highly ad­
vantageous to take the chill from the
drinking-water for dairy cows during
the winter months. Many appliances
have been devised, and some of them
patented, for simply warming the water
in tanks. The arrangement illustrated
herewith was devised by Alexander
Wilson, Fayette County, la., who has
it in practical use. It is not' patented,
and may be made by any farmer, with
the aid of a tinsmith. An ordinary

nothing is wanted beyond warming the

pine planks. The drum and pipe under
water in the tank are of galvanized iron,
with the joints soldered to make them
water-tight. The rest of the pipe and
elbows are common iron stove-pipe. The
pipe which rises from the tank should
run into a ohimmey or through a metal
lio thimble in the roof. A quick fire of
straw, corn-cobs or light wood will
warm the water sufficiently.—America*
