The Iyporiance of Variety.
then the flock has received no grain .
but corn the hens soon begin to refuse
it. This may be particularly noticed if
a small quantity of oats or wheat be
thrown before them. They will at once
eagerly seize the grains of oats and
wheat, leaving the corn untouched.
This indicates that the hens require
something else than that which they
derive from the corn, such as the phos—
phates or nitrogen. After feeding oats -
or wheat awhile the hens will leave
those grains and eat largely of corn.
The proper method, then, is to keep a
variety, using corn as a portion of the
ration in winter, but omitting it in
the summer. Among the grains we
may mention wheat, corn, oats, barley
and buckwheat, the best results being
obtained when they are changed from
one to the other occasionally—Farm

prominent physician living in Vermont, It
was used extensively there by this doetOr in
his practice and accomplished a wonderful
amount of good, and now for over forty years
it has been used by the people living in that
state to remarkable advantage. ,
Prof. Morse of Westfield, N. J ., who has .
devoted his life to the study of new remedies,
and has probably investigated as many different
preparations as any modern therapeutist, ex-
cepting perhaps Sir John Lawes, writes among
many other complimentary phrases concern-
ing Smith's Green Mountain Renovator, the
following:
“ I find at the outset that this is a. vegetable
remedy, and that it did originate witha regular
practitioner. In fact, physicians prescribe it,
and no one ever thinks of calling it aquack
medicine. It puts the blood back into order'
when it has become. depraved, I could not
choose a. better term than to say it renovates
the blood. Having done that, every function
is normally performed, and health insucs as a
matter of physiological course.
and elasticity to the organs, which by reason of
the blo'od being impure and out of order are
debilitated and languishing. Doing this, it
must needs be a remedy for functional disorders
-—diseases of the liver, kidneys, stomach, skin,
bladder and other organs. In its mission of
adding vigor and strength to the system, it re-
Stores health and strength to the nerve struc-
tures. You could call it, if you please, a. food
for nerve starvation. Though I do not know
any one connected with the St. Albans Remedy
Company they are deserving of kind thoughts
and words for pushing this medicine, which is
mild, pleasant and harmless in its action, while
being permanent and efficient without subject-
ing the system to any violent reaction.”
' The above interesting comments on this pre-
paration, which we are so fortunate as to
. have preserved to us to-day. will be of interest
to all suffering from disordered blood, broken
down nerves and the many kindred ills that
come from such affections.
We would advise everyone seeing the need"of
a. tonic and a spring invigorator to 'try this
most potent and harmless of known prepara-
tions. The good thatlwill be accomplished
by a. single bottle of this will prove that it has
intrinsic merit.
The St. Albans Remedy Co. guarantees its
action, and will refund the cost of the prepara-
tion in every instance where everything is not
accomplished that they claim for it.

THE DANCING ' LIGHTS.
~From out the country Spaces cool and clear
?We flash into the maze of city streets.
N’Vhat pageant this that straightway doth
appear?
' What land of faery that our. vision
greets?
A feast of light! And as we roll along,
As if each opesom-e lovely dancer held,
They haterweave as to some choric song;
Which from the dark mysteriously
welled;
To whose soft tune the dancers round and
round
Move in a rapture tremulous and intense,
With languorous paces that make faintest
sound
~ And ever duller and more drowsy sense.
The dancing lights! Too lingeringly 1
gazed
On their warm motions till, as one who
reels .
;Men by some beauteous, blinding vision
dazed, -.
And then, back to himself returning, feels
Right glad of heart; so, then, it was with
me
As, looking up, I saw. the heaven’s calm
Shedding the light of stars: so silently
That on my heart that stillness fell like
balm.
Held, as if motionless, his awful way;
Sitar unto star discoursing crystal clear
As when they sang creation’s primal lay.
I would that when the dancing

Of wayward passion seek my soul to sway
With their wild motion, from those meaner
sights
I might be strong to turn my eyes away

and listened. She could “hear its mur-
' mur, but she could not see it. “I’ll go
in the direction that it sounds," she
said to herself. “Then: I can follow it
right down to where papa. is at work.”
. Once more she listened. hoping to
.hear the strokes of her father‘s ax. Bul
she had wandered further out of her
course than she imagined. and, more—
over, Mr. Black was not cutting down
trees that afternoon; he was just walk-
ing on the bank of the river and mark-
ing a number more, which were des-
e tined sooner or later to fall beneath
the ex. .
So our little Susy set off to find the
river, with a strange, bewildered sort
of feeling. Under her feet. the dead
: leaves rustled softly, and here and there
a slender-stemmed wild flower lifted up
its head in the shelter of a rock or a
stump; all around'her the tall trunks
of the trees towered Skyward, like so
many, grim, silent sentinels, and the
'murmur of the spring wind in the dry
I boughs sounded like a. whisper in her

To where th’ eternal stars so purely shine— :
Truth, Beauty, Good—and by that vision

rest.

T WAS a pleasant, breezy day in
April, when Susy Black’s mother
. called to her to come in from play and
carry her father’s dinner to him in the
woods. Susy had- studied her lessons,
sewed her little task of patchwork, and
was now playing down by the brook,
where she could see the beautiful spot-
ted trout dart to and fro in‘ the shadowy
pools.
But she jumped promptly up when
her mother called, and- ran. into the
.house, for Susy liked the long, pleasant
‘lwalk through the spring wood-s where
the maple trees were all hung with
crimson blossoms, and the wild violets
were beginning to peep up through the
layers of dead leaves that rustled under
:her feet. And her father always had
some nice story to tell her, and a kiss to
greet her with.
“Can- I have my baked apples and
milk first?” said Susy.
“I’ll- give it to you when you come
back, my dear,” said her mother. “But
I have baked a. little meat pie, and roast—
ed some sweet potatoes for papa, and' I
should like to have him get the-m before
they are cold. So put on your blue
hood and shawl, and run as fast as you
can.”
Susy had. not been gone very long be-
fore old Mr. Dean came hobbling around
to borrow the newspaper.
“Folks all well?” asked old Mr. Dean,
peering around through his spectacles.
“Yes, all well,” replied Mrs. Black.
“Father is in the woods, chopping down
trees. and Susy has gone to carry him
his dinner.”
“I-Iumphl humph! ” exclaimed old Mr.
Dean. “I wouldn’t let her go too far
into the woods, if I were you. Jim Doltz
has tracked an ugly old she wolf up- into
the Maple rocks. He thinks likely she
strayed down from Eagle mountain,
when the last deep snow came. Jim is
going out to hunt her down the first
leisure day, he says.”
“Oh,” said Mrs. Black, “Susy isn’t go-
ing in that direction at all! She is only
going to the river."
But for all that she felt» a little un-
Still, Susy was not frightened. She
thought it was an excellent. joke, and
was quite certain that she should easily
find her way back to the river.
And she went on and on, until herlit—
tle feet began to grow sadly weary, and
,the shadows stretched out long and
level, and still she was no nearer the
river than. ever. '
“I can’t be lost," said Susy to herself.
And just then something sounded
“pat, pat, pat” on the distant» slope of
the wooded hillside, and a dark figure
stole gliding out from a. thicket- 'of
scubby evergreens, coming steadily,
steadily towards her.
“It’s a dog,” thought Susy.
But it was not a dog. It was the sly
1 old wolf which Jim Doltz had seen, sev-
eral days before lurking around the
rocky fastnesses of the hillsides; and
the whole truth flashed on Susy, as the
fierce creature came nearer and nearer,
and with its rocking, measured trot, so
different from the leaps and bounds of
honest Trfay.
Susy looked around in a wild panic
'of terror. She was but a little, unpro-
tected girl; she knew the wolf could
run faster than she, and there was no
aid at hand, let her cry for help as loud
as she might. For a second, darkness
seemed to swim before her eyes, a
great terror thrilled through her heart,
and then the ingtinct of self-preserva-
tion came bravely to the rescue.
She flung her dinner basket as far as
she could fling it, and began climbing
the tree beneath which she had been
crouching, with terrified haste.
Susy was young and agile; she was
as used to tree-climbing asa cat, and,
in an incredibly short space of time,
she had mounted well up into the
branches, caring little for scratched
face, or torn clothes, and never paus—
ing until she was safe, clinging to the
tall, tapering top of the tree, and look-
ing down with frightened eyes at the
'savage beast, smelling and pawing at
the ground where she had been but
five minutes ago.
She could see its fiery eyes,
coarse, red-brown head, its tail waving
to and fro as it ran around and around,
uttering a low, barking sound, in its
baffled rage.~
easy after old Mr. Dean had trudged 1
home. and she went several times to 5
look out of the window, to see if she
could perceive anything of Susy com-
ing home.
Susy took the dinner basket straight 'r
to her father, and sat on the edge of the
bank, flinging chips into the clear, gu-r-
gling current of the little river. while
he ate it.
She was rather hungry herself, and
'the meat pie and roasted sweet potatoes
smelt very appetizing, but she declined
her father’s invitation to sit down and
eat with him, because she thought the
meat pie looked rather small, and that
her father must need it all. And she
enjoyed the surprise of pulling a red
i apple out of her pocket afterwards, and
giving it to him.
“What!” said Mr. Black, “another of
those Northern Spy apples? Why, I
thought they were all gone long ago.”
“There was just one only left, papa,"
cried Susy, gleefully, “to surprise you
with!" ' ‘
“Come, then," said Mr. Black, “let's
go halves on, it. I’ll cut it in'two. and
we'll,each eat'half,” ~
“No, papa, thank you," replied Susy;
“I’m to have my dinner when I get
back, and please, I’d rather see you eat
it.” .
So Mr. Black ate the apple, out the
spoon, knife and fork and napkin back
into the basket, kissed Susy, and told '
her to go directly home. And so she
~would have done, perhaps, if she had
not seen- some lovely tufts of pink flow—
' ers growing straight up through the
dead- leaves on the hillside beyond.
_ “I should like to take some of these
home to momma,” said Susy, speaking
out loud, as she often did when she was
by herself.
The pink flowers, however, were fur-
ther oil? than she had any idea of—nnd
more'flowers grew beyond—and when
Susy had filled the basket she was by no
means cert-aim in which direction to
burn so as soonest. to reach her home. '
“I mn- surely tell by the caurse of the '
And Susy, even in her safe refuge at
the tree top, felt her heart grow cold
within her breast when the snarling
creature crouched itself down among
the dead leaves at the base of the tree,
as if determined to wait there until cold

or hunger, or increasing weakness,

z shoulcfllrive the victim down into its
cruel jaws.
And the sun went down, and the
gray, chilly twilight began to gather
over the forest, and still poor Susie
clung desperately to the treetop, and
still the wolf crouched, dark and silent,
among the leaves below;
And then Susy remembered that she
had a Heavenly Father, who is always
nigh, and who, hearing even the cry of
the young ravens, must be still more
ready to listen to the call of His oyvn
little children.
And' reverently closing her eyes, she
whispered a little prayer, and then she,
felt better and more safe.
“He will not let me become the prey
of the cruel wolf,” thought Susy. '
And she was right; for the darkness
had scarcely begun to gloom over the
forest when there was the sound of
shouts and voices in the distance.
“Susy!” they called. “Susy! Where
are you, little Susy?”
“Here!” she cried, shrilly; “here!"
There was a rustle in the dry leaves
underneath. The wolf glided away in-
to the darkness. and Susy, sliding hur-
riedly down the tree trunk, ran, sob-
bing and breathless into her father’s
arms. .
So little Susy Black was lost and
found.
The wolf was shot, in the eohrse of
the next few days; but not a child of
the neighborhood ventured into the.
. woods until the ugly head was brought
in on Jim Doltz' shoulders—Golden

We illustrate tumbling mustard,
known scientifically as Sisymbrium Al-A
tissimum. This is one Of the plants
that have already obtainedtoo great
a foothold in this country for us to
hope to exterminate-it. Tumbling mus-
tard is called so from the fact thatwlien
it isripe it breaks off and is blown
along the ground by the Wind. The
rounded shape of the plant makes this
characteristic of great value, as to the
propagation and dissemination of the
plant, as it is said to travel even faster-

than the. Russian thistle. The pl'hnt
was introduced into this country fro-m
Europe previous to 1878, as it was first
noticed in that year in. Philadelphia.
It is probable that it had been growing
in out-of-t:he~way places for some years
before being noticed: Since that time
it has spread over much of the coun-
try between‘ the two oceans. It bears
numerous seeds, the seed pods» contain- 1
ing frequently 100 seeds each. As the
plants are very numerous on each plant,
thelnumber of seeds :1. single plant may
bear is almost beyond calculation.
Prof. James Fletcher, of Canada, by
careful calculation came to the conclu-
sion that one plant with which he came
in. contact contained not less than 1,-
500,000 seeds. The pods are round and
long and stand out almost at right an-
gles to the stem on which they are
borne.
' The means of eradication is to plow
under or cut down with a. sharp hoe
before the seeds have ripened enough
to grow.' This must be early, for seeds
will sprout» and grow while yet very
immature. The plant is easily killed
when out off at the. roots, while its
seeds are yet unformed. A man can
eradicate a large area. of it in a single
day. Being an annual, it- will not grow
again from the root—Farmers’ Review.
GOOD FARM CROPS.
They Are These \Vliich Save the Fer-n
tility of the Soil and Produce
Paying; Results.
No crop in this section of the country
takes the precedence of corn, writes a
Nebraska contributor to “'zlllace’s
Farmer. It is so abundant and so use-
ful. I do not know of any other crop
that can be used for so many purposes.
It makes good human food and admits
of being prepared in so many ways. I
don’t know of any other crop that will
supply the wants of our domestic ani<
nulls so completely as the corn crop.
The entire plant fed to cattle or sheep
makes an admirablefattening ration.
supplying both grain and rough feed
of the highest quality. Do not fail to
have a’ good corn crop. Then concen—
trate it as much as possible in to the
most marketable products, butter or
meat, before it leaves the farm. Next
to corn, if not equal to it, is sorghum,
drilled in with the ordinary grain drill
at the rate of three peeks to one bushel
of seed to the acre. No one will believe
the amount of good feed for any kind
of stock this will produce until they
try it for themselves. Then comes
peas and oats sown together. I differ
from many in the amount of seed to be
sewn in this combination. I think
mostly too many oats are sown for the
peas. 1 prefer one and one-half to two
bushels of pens to not more than three
peeks of oats per acre. Do not let the
ucas become too ripe before cutting.
My crop of peas and oats seeded in the
above proportions yielded last season
over four tons per acre.
Back-Furrowlng Pays.
In plowing clay lands nearly all the
advantages of under-draining can‘be
obtained by back-furrowing into nar-
row beds, and by leaving a strip two
or three feet wide between the beds
unplowed. It practically does away
with the trouble of gullying by heavy
rains, as there are two channels instead
ofjbne to carry off the water. N 0 per-
ceptiblerdifference in growth for yield
or crop can be seen in the dead furrows
after being put in with modern ‘ imp
proved implements,'and there is a savi-
ing of four furrows in plowing each
land or bed—two in the middle of the
bed. and two at the dead furrow. The
great advantage of back-furrowing over
level culture when plowing is done
in the fall is that very often crops can
be sown several weeks earlier, making
a fine crop and a good catch of grass,
when later sowing would fail.-—Prairie
