THE HIGHLAND 111lORUIT,
.A. Highland 011iie tired of country life.
Of herding *hoop- and using bntchere
knife; •
Arrived in Glaegety one bright summer's
morn
Arrayed micilt and plaid,with dirk and
honi.
Majestically be wandered ip and down,
Staring ate!1 he saw around the town ;
lingth before a public house he slopped,
Look'd in his stamen -then in Donald
dropped,
Cali'd fore gill, and quietly looked around,
His Highland awe Doing tiard with
lowland sound -
This public was a soldiers mavens,
Ann o'er it waved a flag, red white and
blue,
Men were enlisted hero from morn till
night,
Then ',hipped away to foreign lands to
fight.
Our Highland be quietly drank his gill,
ck out his clua.clean, and 'smoked with
a will.
Up walked e rtalwart sergeant- said 'Cocid-
clay,'
"You'll be a stranger in these parts -
daresay,"
$he'Il le w stranger in these pairta-teNS
SO,
ShE buenapeen bit three ho'ora in
Glasgow,"
And saying this he raised his horny. fist,
"She's come doon frae ta' Heelands, hero
ta' list."
"Your just the kind of stuff we want, my
man,
To join the Forty.twa, a gallant clam
',Toe join ta' forth.twa, she's very willing."
"Wall, have a gill, end Donald here's
your shilling."
Beneath the binning sun on old Gib's rock,
We'll join our Highlander and see the
joke,
One evening .Donald had just mounted
guard,
At one end of the rocky barrack -yard.
Ile had been told to let no one approach,
Before thio question he to them should
broach
"Who goes there once" -and then tomo to
a belt --
"Who goes there avicq"-if shot 'tis your
own fault,
"Who goes there thrice" -a pause -then
atm and fire,
Shoot level with the breast -not lower
nor higher."
In gloomy thence Donald paced the yard,
Hie head upon his breast -no sound. he
heard,
The pale moon peeped from out behind a
cloud,
As if an angel spirit bad dropped her
shroud.
A shadow in the. distance Donald spied,
He raised his gun, took aim, and then he
cried •
"Who goes there noo"-"three iimsfs,"-
Sred-gave a jump -
The guard turned out andfound he'd
shot the pump.
THE WAEFTP WIFE.
There lived a man in auld Dundee,
A. wricfn' wife I'm cure had he,
An' aft she wished her man hae dee,
Became the didna' lo'e him.
And oh ! she was a waelu'
wile -
A wicked, worthless, waefu' wife -
An' would hoe teen tbe puir man's lite
Became she didna' le'e
A neebor man CAM toe the boom
As quiet an' cautious as a moon,
But her guidman did act as puss
An' kent the didna' lo'e him.
A's, day he made himeeP look fon,
Tho' neer a drap had wet his mon!;
The hussy in a passion flew
An' said she didna' lc's him.
Hiinnel` in ow'er his bed he threw,
An' quietly closed bis e'en an' mon'.
Thinks she, "My lad, I'll do ye noo
Sae soundly as ye're morin'."
A repo she bad bang Byrne prepared,
She put it ow'er bis ourlyhair
An' round hitt neck wi' canny care,
Ye could lis'e thought she lo'ed him.
Then wi' the ither end she ran.
It ow'er the windew chess she fiang
g, That she mieht pou Math etoot and straw,
Because lobe didna' lo'e him.
Then doon the stair the huzzy ran;
"Now's my time," thinks the guidman,
The rope around the bowiter Sang,
To save his neok frae squeezing.
She seized the rep, began to pou,
A sturdy struggle did ensue;
But soon the struggle areakengrew,
Thinks she, 'My lad, I've done ye."
Than up.bhe stairs she ran in haste,
But by this time the rope's replaced, .
An' there be lay wi' boatin' breast,
An' e'en.en' mouth wide sterip'.
Then to tbe neebors she did yell, •
"0 imy guidman has hanged himael', '
"A. wean' tale I'll Ita'p to tell,
Per dearly did I lo'e hint."
01 come M ow'er to bis bedside,
• Yell see his e'en, they're starin' wide,
An' they'll ca' him a suieide, •
Bnt clearly did I lo'e him.",
But in the midst o' a' the throng,
Who cam' in bukthe neebor man, •
An' his laments were loud an' long,
Deolarin' how holo'ed him.
Then up be gat amen' them a',
Says, "Einna' feared nor ria RWS,

' 'Twas but my Wife that tried it.

only provides spinet loss by burning

The excessive feeding of hogs is
less common than it was twenty or
thirty years ago. Few people now
rehab pork made from hogs which
have been fattened until blinded and
only killed Wheu the animals were
unable to walk to their troughs and
eat. Such masses of lard are not
healthful eating, while to most tattles
excessively fat pork ie not palat-
able.
Few farmers know how much feed
for fowls can be grown from a email
patith of sunflowers. The seeds need
to be planted on rich soil, as its rapid
and onormoue growth is very exhaus-
tive. If given to any other stook than
fowls sunflower seed should be
ground and its hull sifted from the
!nes', as it is veryinjurious to am-
naals not having very strong digestive
organ,.
Many farmers in places where their
land is swept by litres winds find it

feet high on the windward side, the

Tho instinct ef a fowl leads it to

give fowls too much at a. time, and
this causes them to stuff themselves

Teri to twenty years ago the prices
of grape were much Idaho'. than
now, and those who intelligently cut.
twitted them then made large profits.
It was thought that with the &allot)
in prices grape growers would be
ruined, but such is not the fact.
Profits are reducer], but even at low
prioes.grepos pay bottor than most
farm crops. Three or four tobe of
grapes per Acre is no uncommon
yield. At even three oeuts per
pound this gives a comfortable stun
of money, besides paying for the lab

The advantage in warming milk iu
winter to make the cream rise rapid.
ly and thoroughly is not generally
understood. In a mid day the nat
ural warmth ie largely withdrawn be-
fore the milk is set m pane, and as
most of the cream rises while the
'milk is cooling, much of it remains
in the milk unseparated. The tern
perdue in warming should not be
over 110 degrees and from thee down
to 100 degrees. The groat heat will
break the btitter globules prematurely.
In the process of drying grass into
hay most of the volatile oils which
give green herbage its delicate flavor
and odor are lest. But some farm -
ere have found that putting clover
and other greases ih barns while
rather green, and mixing with them
dry straw to absorb moietura, nob
only preserves the flavor in thehay,
but a portion is communicated to the
straw, making it much better for
mulch cows. Itj possible that farm-
ers may yet take to sowiq$ sweet
vernal grass for the sole parpone of
flavoring their winter's supplies of
dry hay or straw.
The use of dried Lirabeans, as
food is increasing, .and would be
greater, if the demand for seed did
not always make the price so high in
winter and toward spring. They
are very rich, and much superior to
common beans. It is a surprise that
the Lima bean le not more extensiv-
ely grown for market. It needs rich
land and a long, warm 8088012, but
under favorable conditions will yield
twenty to thirty bushels per acre.
