fI .
In planting or hoeing corn, use the or
dinary hoes in general use. Neither In
dia rubber hose nor cotton hose would be
of any account in cornfeld no more
would one of Hoes eight-cylinder presses.
Don't try to hold the plow out at arms
length. You can't do it. Ifyou havn't
plow Of your own, get out an attachment
on your neighbor's, who owes you. Any
justice win tell you whether you can hold
it or not.
asked an old farmer once when was
the best time to put in rye. He looked at
bis watch and replied: "This is about the
hour" The rye was Immediately put in.
All seasons are the same for putting in
rye.
The best place to keep corn is in corn
house, though some prefer to keep it in the
system-in the juice. If they don't keeI
corn, they keep corn'd.
Good fencing is essential to farm
Get good ''fencing" master to learn you
A rail fence is better than an imaginar,
one. You can't repair worm fence b.
taking vermifuge.
Set fire to your stables if you wish t
make them warm in winter.
To make stone fence, take equal part
of vinegar and cider. This is the recipro
cal stone fence the more you lay of it tn
more it will clay you.
The easiest way to draw saw-logs is o
apiece of paper with crayon pencil. Al
ter little practice you will be able
draw the largest kind of saw-logs wit
perfect ease.

Those lustrous lips viii not touch, ~
Unless you promptly say
: That their bright hue Is fast and true,
Aud win not wash away.
Those brilliant eyes may owe their charm
To belladona's use;
Complexion tints, I've heard dark hints'
Are changed by walnut juice;
And if i ask the dearest girl,
For whom alone live,
For one long tress to kiss and bless,
II mayn't be hers to give.
The penciled brow, the raven lash,

And some mistrust, but they're unjust,
The shape rave about;
So in this dubious state of things,
And as the weathers warm,
will not seek to press that cheek,
Or ask to clasp that form. Pune
