DRIFTING AWAY.
Drift ing away from each oilier,
Silently drifting apart,
Nothing between hut the worlJ'scoUl screen |
Not nine to lose hut a heart.
Only two lives dividiug
More and more, day by day.
Only one soul from another soul
Steadily drifting away.
Only a man's heart striving
Ditterly hard with its doom.
Only a hand tender and bland
Slipping away in the gloom,
Nothing of doubt or wrong.
Nothing that either can cure.
Nothing to shame, nothing to blame,
Nothing to do but endure.
The world cannot stand still.
Tides ebb?and women change.
Nothing here that is worth a tear,
One love less nothing strange.
Drifting away from each other,
Silently drifting away.
No wrong to each that the world can reach,
Nothing lost?but a heart.

The Sun Floww As Protection \
Against Malaria.
On this subject wc have receive*!
from a correspondent a communication
which, containing no facts that
arc not already familiar to the public,
we deem unnecessary to publish.
However, for the benefit of those!
persons who may be stiil cultivating!
the unsightly sunflower, under the |
impression that it really possesses:
some hidden power to ward off mala-:
ria, we may state that this notion
was long ago exploded, and now
ranks only with such remedial absurdities
as the carrying about in the
pockets horscchestnuts and potatoes,
as prophylactics of rheumatism, or
the equally ludicrous one of basking
in light that streams through "blue
gla<s."
Notwithstanding the romance at"
tachcd to its origin by mythology, it
is about as coarse, ugly, and useless
a plant as we know. With nothing
about it to please the eye, with no
medicinal qualities whatever to give
it value, the only possible economic
use to which it can be put is that of
cultivation for the sake of an oil that
its seeds yield. But whatever value
it might have for this purpose is more
than counterbalanced by the positive
Ini.irtr if ilnna flio onil fnr it is
well known as an insatiable consumer
of potash, ami wouM rapidly exhaust
any land of this already too scarce
salt, and hcncc render it unproductive.
The proper place, then, for
this unpromising exotic is where we
chiefly find it?the gardens of rural
I districts, in which it is often planted
to hide objects that have the misfortune
to be still more unsightly.
As regards die eucalyptus which
our correspondent incidentally mentions,
we believe it is r.ot generally
held bv scientists that the mere presence
of the growing (rcc in any district
will prevent the occurrence of
malaria, hut that its value as a remedial
agent depends on the presence
in its leaves and bark of a resin
and alkaloid in considerable quantity
that have been found to possess all
the febrifuge qualities of cinchona
and its derivnUvcs.-Scietilicn Americon.
Shall
I Pasture or Soil ?
If one raises soiling crops, he is
much more independent of the scisotis,
and can feel sure of keeping
his stock well all the time, whether
i -1 i 11 . -
mere comes a drougin or nor. mrtin!
soiling will enable one to increase
his stock, if, in his judgment, the
condition of the markets appear favorable
to such increase. Soiling
helps to make a farm grow rich, while
pasturing tend- to impoverishment.
We would overstock the pasture In
the spring, and secure all the feed
that should he spared, and then.
! when the dry weather of midsummer
j comes on, as it does nearly every
i year, wc would take the cattle to t!.e
i stables and feed them there with
green crops, till the pastures arc fit
to turn into again. It is a poor plan
to let cattle run in a pasture so poor
and short that they will be forced to
work all day for a living. For soilimr

for feeding through July, August
i an'l September. We have raised tli

quite as satisfactory. Oats, spring

feeding, before corn becomes sufficiently

after the frost has killed the corn.
We have sown nearly two bushels

Winter rye is one of the most useful
soiling crops, as it comes s > early
in the spring and grows between the
seasons for otiier crops, thus requiring
no changes for land or time, but

Feed Well Always.
The Irishman who fed his pig well
j one day and gave mm notmng to oar
the next, because lie "wanted a streak
of fiit ami a, streak of lean," was just
! as wise as the man who fords his poultry
only at certain seasons of the
yrar and neglects them the rest of
the time.
It is not enough to supply them
with grain and other nutritious food
just when we wish to fatten them for
'the market, or to coax them to lay
when eggs are scarce and high. The
fact is, hens arc always doing ,?omet/iubf
that requires good food and
good care to be able to do their work
to the best advantage of their owner,
as well as their own benefit. The
'chicken omce safely out of the shell
needs frequent and judicious feeding
until it arrives at maturity and begins
to lay eggs. Then the same attention
to diet is necessary to keep
i up the tone of the system and pre
pare1 it for the still greater strain of
incubation. The moulting season is
always a tiial to the hirl, and wholesome
uud abundant food is its best assistant.
Tnen the winter's coldand the
absence of various little appetizers
attainable in a freer range, render
still more rich and comfortable diet
desirable ; and this must he kept up
in order to induce a supply of
With all these extra effort* of the
fowls, following closely upon each

profitably forego our carc of the

when we speak of feeding we7 wo do'
not mean that fowls should be overfed
and cloyed, There is a happy mean

Geraniums and Heliotropes.
A French gardncr thus describes
his method for getting geraniums to
j to flower during the winte. Slips
j are taken at the beginning of August
i and planted out either in pots or in
| a cold frame. Later on they are
| twice repotted and constantly
j pinched. In the first half of Octoi
her they are taken into the hothouse,
| placed as near the light as possible,
I and allowed to grow without further
! check. Under this treatment they
are found to flower freely all through
the winter.
Thu heliotrope should have frequent
repotting and he allowed to
grow large ; specimens mav he seen
in parlors, in large tubs 0:1 wheels,
which have reached tli- heigth of eight
feet. Such plants are in themselves
! houqueis of beauty, being always
! covered with flowers. Train the
: main stems of the plant to a trellis,
and let the branches droop naturally.
! The plant hears the knife well and
I breaks freely, honce it can bj trained
into any shape.
How to Test Seed.
I Mr. Hawick, the English author
urges that where there is the slight"
est reason foi doubting the germinali
ing powers ol seed grain, it should
be tested before sowing much more
generally than is often done. His
directions, though too late for our
fall crops and much in advance of
spiing seeding, may well he put on
record for futu'e use. They are as
follows : Draw one hundred grains
' promiscuously, lay them in two pieces
j of thick flannel well saturated with
rain water, place it in a warm temperature.
always wet, and 1:1 fifty 01
sixty Iiouim you will find it sprouted.
The general adoption of such a handy
method would g;vc a certainty to
what a farmer was growng. I iius.
if he found the gcrmiuative percentage
low, he must add more seed to
make up the deficiency.
