CATCHING a FLY IN CHURoII-A lady
in one of our churches rested her head on the
back Of the pew in front, as all dcvout people
do in time of prayer, but in the pew before
her sat young man who neither bowed his
head nor kncolod. A beautiful plume nod
dcd and danced upon the head of the fair one
behind him, occasionally touching tho neck
of the youth, who evidently considered it a
fly or some other troublesome insect For
awhile he bore the unpleasant sensation with
out murmur, but at last patience ceased to
be n virtue, and from the flash of his eagle
eye, one could plainly sec that the hour of
that fly had come. Instead of saying 'shoo
fly, don't boddcr me, cautiously his hand
moved toward the supposed insect then fol.
lowed frantic clutch and spring behind
him Imagine the horror of the youth to
find in his hand the nobby hat of the fair
one, which lie had torn violently from her
head, sadly disarranging the countour of
braids and c!lignon. The lady was indignant,
Of course, and the youth could have been
purchased at an immense sacrifice about that

and the disorganizcd head was put in order

did it:
In the first place, the land was thin and

the acre.
About the last week in October he broke
itup with two horse Brinlcy plow. Upon
this he spread broadcast six two horse wagon
loads of we'll rottcd stable manure, which was
turned under by cross blowing with the
same plow Upon this he sowcd broadcast
two hundred and fifty pounds of dissolved
bone, which was narrowed in with a two horse
revolving harrow. lie then sowed one hun
drcd and twenty pounds O. wheat on the acre.
and covered it with heavy brush, dragged
over it by two mules. The clods were beat
down with a maui in the absence of roller
This was on the ID of November. In the
early part of February the wheat being then
about six inches high he sowcd broadcast
top dressing of two hundred and fifty pounds
of ammoniatcd phosphate. Late in March,
when the wheat was in the boot, he applied
two hundred and fifty pounds of ammoniatcd
dissolved bone and fifty pounds Of salt ground
together This was applied early in the
morning on the dew, one half tho mixture first
and the other half ut the end of week
The grain was cut off with common reap
hook as it rpencd in places, commencing on
the 4th of juno. The production Of the acre
was three thousand and four hundred aud
fifteen pounds of good wheat. Mr.. Baily
does not know what the six loads of stable
manure cost him, but the prices of the others
