^m KISSES. Kisses, kisses. what are kisses? Asked a maid of me one day And her pouting lip* meant mischief, 1 1 Tell me what are kisses, pray. , 5 Half afraid to make the venture. Yet, to give some right reply? Kisses, maid, are sweet confection? ' rAt the baker's you'll tlietn buy. i Yes. she said, I've bought them often, And her lips seemed half to sigli; But I mean what are the kisses < That uo currency can buy ? Tush. I said, dear maid, don't fancy Anything that's so untrue. Money will buy nil the kisses That we want, both I and you. Yes, she said, with strnnge persistence; Candy kisses all can buy ; But ifl were selline kisses Only one to sell I'd try. Yet. I said, who wants bought kisses? Long I waited for reply. Then she said: to sell my stock out. One I might give just to try. Temptingly (lie re<l lip* pouted : (>an von wonder what I said?

A writer whose poultry wore nfested with vermin thus details the luecessful use of onions as a remedy : [ began at once by chopping the )nion? fine, and mixing with corn meal and hot water. After stand-1 ing a short time it was fed to the poultry, and in less than three i weeks the little pests had entirely j disappeared. I used to take onion ; tops and cut thrjr. up fine and mix with the meal, wetting it with sour j milk, or clabber (when I had it), to 1 feed to the chickens one or two days in a week, until they were large enough to eat <rrain or small corn. I I never lost a chicken with the gapes during the five years I was there. My neighbors would say that because I was in a new place was why I hail such good luck in raising chickens. I told them about feeding the onions, and they found thorn very good. I told them I should lose many of my early chickens, just as they did, if I followed their example, in giving twentv-two chickens to one hen the first of April. There would be a half dozen or more little chicks on the out.sde of the hen that her feathers could not cover, in a cold frosty morning. Three feedings a week m the spring and a part of the summer is sufficient. I seldom feed the onions in the fall or winter. My neighbors have the same good result3 in feeding onions. The Farm Nothing adds so much to the beauty ?'f a farm as neat, tidy surroundings. Farmers are too n ucli occupicl about the ploughing, planting etc., to give much time to light work in spring, yet ii would require but very little extra effort to spare a few hours about the house in picking up and raking off the dirt from about the house him) barn; but it would add so very much more to its atttaotions, and make it far more valuable in the eyes of others, particularly those who arc in search of a farm to pur" chase as a home. Add to this the repairing of broken hinges and gates and all kinds of machinery, and one has relived himself of great discomfort and 1ms been rearing a refining influence, both in his own family and (hat of his neighbors ; and also prolonged the life of his family by the removal of that which creates disease and death. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." SmHt in Wheat. I saw it stated in a New York paper not long ago that there is no reme ly for smutty wheat. I think I can testify to the contrary from sever il years' experience. While managing the ?c-atticook farm, I sowed some smutty wheat and had smut'}' wheat the next seasot. I saw a suggestion in the Alba iv Cultivator to soak the wheat II.m ntifl u-.itnr snwinir. * y - - - OI di I so, skimming off the smut that came to the surface. As I poured the wheat into the water I added four quarts of air-slacked lime, and one quart of salt, to two or three bushel* of wheat, soaking the wheat twelve to twenty-four hours previous to sowing and, next rear had no smut. I continued doing so every year for sev* al years, and had no smut and nice, heavy crop3 of wheat, improving yearly in quantity and qualitr\ with suitable manuring. The wheat was so good that neighboring fanners came to me to buy their seed wheat. rennyroyal and Pofiwh. Tne Scientific American says that if mosquitoes or other bloodsuckers infest our sleeping rooms at night, we unoork a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and these jnspcts leave in great haste, nor will they return so long as the rootn is loaded with the fumes of that aromatic herb.

No rat or mouse will eat that rag for the purpose of opening communication with a depot of supplies. Some sensible writer truthfully mys that "most diseases of cattle ire produced by wrong treatment ?too much feed at one time, too itiio at another; too rich at one j ime, too poor at another, kn.
