HAPPY GO LUCKY.
Happy Go Lucky has cheeks rosy red.
Ten times a day he will stand on his
head.
Happy Go Lucky is brimful of fun,
Up in the morning as soon as the sun.
Sliding on banisters, all the way down,
Playing at circus and bumping his
crown.
When he has shocked all the house
with affright,
Off he goes, screaming with roguish de
light.
^ Happy Go Lucky once climbed up a
tree
Just to look round and see what he
could see.
Crack! went the bough. Such a ter
rible fall!
Didn’t hurt Happy Go Luck at all!
Maybe the fairies, with some potent
charm,
Because he’s so cheerful, have kept him
from harm.
Mother so wishes that he would be
still
Only for once, but the rogue never
will!
Happy Go Lucky runs out in the
streets,
Asks in to dinner each beggar he
meets,
Happy Go Lucky—now just think of
„jp that!—
Tied granny’s spectacles on the poor
cat!
When he knows mother is going to
scold,
Dp he trots gravely, in tears, I am told,
Then he will-kiss her and hug her with
joy.
Any one got such an out and out boy?
JOHNNIE’S MISTAKE.
Why He Wants to Grow a Big; Man
Right Away.
The other day Johnnie’s mother told j
him he could go out and play for an
hour. As he trotted around the corner
three young men, all of whom he knew,
hailed him. Johnnie hopped over to
Where they were, and then saw that
an old battered hat lay on the side
walk.
“Johnnie, can you kick?” asked the
first young man.
"C’n I? Well, I guess.”
"You can’t kick as far as Willie,”
said the second young man.
“Willie kicked that old hat across
the street,” declared the third young
man.
"I c’n kick it acrost the street ’n
over the fence.”
"Rats!” chorused all three young
men.
Johnnie lost no more time in words.
He went at the hat with a run and
planted his foot against it with all his j
strength. The hat flopped over, and a ;
brick which lay under it was moved j
about a foot Johnnie fell down with j
the worst stubbed toe of his lively and i
always more or less bruised young ca- j
teer. He rose painfully and faced the
three young men, who were laughing |
immoderately.
He s going to cry like a little baby,”
said the first young man.
“I wouldn’t cry fer such trash as you
big stiffs,” said Johnnie slowly. Then
he turned, and though zigzag lightning
was running from his toe clear up his
spine he walked away without a limp. !
Just before passing out of hearing he ;
turned again and shouted:
“I’ll get even with you duffers some i
day.”
And that is the reason he wants to
grow to be a man in just a month.
He Made a Lawyer.
A young man, anxious to become a
lawyer, made application for a position
in the office of a barrister, whereupon
the following unconventional dialogue
ensued.
“Well, young man, and so you’d like
to be a lawyer?”
“Yes, sir; I think I would like to be
one.”
“Where’s your gun, my boy? I want
to see your gun, my young gentleman.
Fond of sporting, eh?”
“I have no gun, sir; don’t know ;
whether I’d like gunning.”
“No gun? Well, you keep a boat, ;
then? Like boating?”
“I do not own a boat, sir; do not
know how to use one.”
“You wear a watch, or keep a dog?”
"I am too poor to wear a watch,and
I have no dog.”
“You’ll do, my lad, if you persevere
. in the course you have begun. The
law is a jealous mistress, and cannot
be won except by undivided attention.
Remember this, my lad, and I will in
sure your success. You may rely on
any assistance I can render you.”,
The young man entered the office and
in time became a famous lawyer.
Root Was Still There.
Two little brothers, aged respectively
four and six years old, fell in with a
stray kitten, which, suffering by the
hands of some cruel person, had of its
tail scarcely half an inch remaining.
“Poor little kitten,” said the younger
one. “Who has cut off its tail, I won
der if it will grow again?” To
which the elder gravely remarked: “Ol
course it will! Don’t you see the root
is there?”
Delights of Growing Dp.
Aunt Gertrude—And what will you
do when you are a man, Tommy?
Tommy—I’m going to grow a beard.
Aunt Gertrude—Why?
Tommy—Because then I won’t have
nearly so much face to wash.
THE SAN «s05E SCALE.
Remedlen That Have Been Tried in
the Infested Districts.
In view of the destruction caused by
this new enemy to fruit and ornament
al trees and shrubbery, and the alarm
ing spread of the disease, coupled with
the fact that no effective remedy has as
yet been found, the following method
for detecting the insect is especially
timely. On account of its small size,
most persons in looking for it pass it
by unnoticed. The female scale is
only about one-twentieth of an inch
in diameter, while the male is only
about one-half that size. The shape
of the female is nearly circular, while
the male is more elongated. The fe
male is sharply convex or conical In
the centre. This last characteristic
will help to distinguish it from many
of the more common species. Its color
is nearly like the bark on which it is
found. Another distinguishing char
acteristic is found in the reddish dis
coloration of the bark immediately
surrounding the scale and extending
through both the outer and the inner
bark. These characteristics will en
able one with an ordinary pocket mag
nifying glass to detect the presence of
the insect.
Several remedies have been tried In
Infested districts with more or less
success, and among them the old-time
remedy for scale insects of any kind,
that of painting the trunk and branch
es of the trees with thick white paint.
This has proved more or less success
ful, but in some cases the trees were
killed, probably because turpentine or
a similar oil was used for mixing the
paint, which will kill trees about as
quickly as anything which ''ould be
put on them. White lead p. .t thin
ned with linseed oil is the only safe
thing in the paint line to use on
trees.
Cover for Sap Backets.
A good cover for sap buckets may
be made at a cost of less than one cent
by taking a wide shingle (a), sawing
off four inches of the tip end and fas

tening to it a small spring wire aa
shown in the illustration. The wire
can be made fast to the shingle by lit
tle staples, or by using a narrow cleat
like a piece of lath. The wire should
be about thirty inches long and will
cost less than half a cent When
done, spring the ends of wire apart and
it will hug the tree firmly.
Waste In Butchering:.
There are many lessons which the
majority of farmers would learn by a
visit to the abbattoirs or immense
butchering establishments of some of
our large cities. The ease and rap
idity with which hogs or cattle are
killed and dressed are perhaps as im
pressive as any. But hardly less so is
the care everywhere taken that noth
ing be allowed to go to waste. Every
thing about the hog is said to be put
to some use in the Chicago stock yards
except his squeal. The hair, feet and
ears are made into what is called
“souse,” and is liked by everybody,
while the intestines are cleaned and
saved to hold the sausage meat. With
beef cattle a great deal is saved in the
packing house which in most farmer’s
yards is allowed to go to waste. The
four feet of the animal are boiled so as
to extract the oil, of which the four
Will usually furnish about one quart.
The horns and the bones are valuable
as they can be worked up into a great
variety of useful articles. It is in such
savings as these that a great propor
tion of the beef-packer's profits are
made, and they enable him to sell meat
much more cheaply than would other
wise be possible.
Pfot Legitimate Farming.
A farmer at Topeka, Kan., is buying
up broken-down horses, knocking
them in the head, and allowing the
pigs to eat them. He is taking a chap
ter from the book of a Lansing
butcher,, who was feeding his hogs in
the same way until his neighbors
raised such a row, and the hogs got
so much cholera, that between the two
the business became unprofitable.
Emlisge Crop.,
Although corn is the principal crop
used for ensilaging in the United
States, there are many other plants
suitable for this purpose. The first ex
periments in this line were made on the
continent of Europe with sugar beet
leaves. In this country millet, rye,
sorghum, oats, peas and other crops
have been ensilaged with satisfactory
results.
loll for Track Farming.
The soil for market gardening Is
bottom land, warm, sandy, with yellow
Subsoil. If asked which is the most
important essential to successful mar
ket gardening, writes an expert, I
should say first, the soil, seooad brains.
