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?
Sweet I'll take your stock for sample,
Anil I kissed those lips so red.

Onions for Poultry.
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

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.

The Arabian Horse
It is an error to suppose that the
Arabian horse is bred in arid j
deserts, and o\vo9 the power of,
enduranee which he possesses in his ,
adult state to the hardships which
he endured while he was a colt.
The real fact is that the Arab
select for their breeding places
some of those delightful spots,
known only in countries liko these.
where, though all may he dry and
barren around, there is pasture
unrivalled for its succulence and its
.1
nutritious or aromatic properties, j
The powers of the young animal are
afterwards developed, by the'
mingled influence of plentiful and
healthy food, and sufficient exercise.

two latter ingredients being
gradually mixed together, the
former should then he rubbed down
