Seed Corn for Soiling Crops.

The result of our experiments
last year with Soiling Corn, indi-
Gates that what is known in the
New Y ork trade as ''Western mixed"
a small grained corn of mixed
color J, is the best Sweet corn We
found hard to buy, and the variety
we used had a very small growth of
stalks. Probably the ''Dexter" and
the ''Stowell'' would have done bet
ter, but We could not buy these for
less than SIS per bushel. Southern
White" which produces an enor
nous growth of stalk and leaf,
seems-at least when grown at the
North-to be deficient in sugar and
other nutritive matter. The "West-
ern mixed grew to a very good
size, about 7 or s feet high, and the
rows, which were feet apart, inter
laced thickly at the top. In quail
ity we could not perceive Judging
from the condition of the stock and
the produce of the dairy that it
was inferior to sweet corn. How
much allowance is to be made for
the very dry and hot weather OF last
summer we cannot say, but while
we shall experiment again this year
with the Southern variety (sweet is
out of the question on account of
the difficulty of getting seed we
shall plant nearly our whole crsp
with the Western, using . bushels
of seed per acre, in 3 foot drills.

The Wood Pile.

Have you secured a sufficient
wood pile to last you through the
summer? If not lose no time in in
creasing it. Take advantage OF
any snowfall. and work industri-
ously while it lasts. There is money
in pile of well seasoned woodland
comfort to the feminine portion of
the familr. If you have no wood
shed and cannot make one, stack
your wood, after splitting, in round
stacks about eight feet across, by
piling it up nicely around the out
side, inclining outward, and then
throwing the wood loosely into the
middle, and finally shingling the top
nicely with the split wood so as to
shed rain. Leave no logs to lie
over the summer without splitting
and piling so that it may dry.
Logs of wood will lose one-quarter
of their value by lying for twelve
months without seasoning, and vet
more than one half of the farmers
are in the habit of doing this.

Hints about Work.

If the snow is Oft the fields, the
opportunity is good one to pick
up stones. Cart them of from the
moving and grain fields in the
mornings, while the ground is fro
zen. The grass fields may be gone
over with sharp hoe or wedding
'spud," and multitudes Of weeds
cut Just below the surface.
WINTER GRAIN, which does no t
look well, and has been thrown by
the frost, will be benefited by a light,
even dressing of fine, well-mixed
muck compost, or simply fine muck
or soil.
GRASS AND CLOVER TEEps.-These
may be sown toward the end of the
month. if the frost is pretty well
out of the ground. The sowing is
easiest done on light snow, when
the seed may be seen. and an even
cast secured. To this end, it is
often well to SOW in two directions
across the field, and sometimes even
three. rs in sowing grass seed upon
a lawn. Suitable weather for this
frequently does not come until
March Avoid sowing where melted
snow will wash the soil away, or
move the seed.
slBrRp HorSES.-Prepare neat houses
for martins, bluebirds. and wrens.
to be put up about the house, fruit
yard, and farm. The occupants will
pay good rent by destroying insects.
HoRSES.-A few carrots with their
grain will aid digestion and appe
ti:e, and improve their coats. En-
ercise daily. Tram colts So that no
breaking will be needed, and that
none of spirit or harness result.
Keep working and carriage horses
sharp shod, well groomcd, and blank
eted when standing out, or in cold
stables after exercise. Ventilate
stables, and abolish high feeding
racks.
IMrLEnIENTs.-Ilave allin repair and
readiness for spring work. In the
end, buying is cheaper than borrow
ing. Consult advertisements, send
for catalogues and circulars for in
formation about new implements.
and always get the best.

WOUNDED.

The following is one of the finest battle-po
ems produced by an American. Its author
J. W. Watson, OF New York City:
steady, boys, steady.
( Keep your arms ready,
/ God only knows whom we may meet here.
Don't let me be taken:
I'd rather awaken,
Tomorrow. in-no matter where,
! Than lie in that foul prison hole-over there
Step SLOWLY
Speak lowlyi
The rocks may have life;
Lay me down in the hollow;
We are out of the strife.
BY heayeni the foemen may track me in blood
For this hole in the breast is Outpouring flood
No! no surgeon for me, he can give me no aid; 3;
The surgeon 1 want is pickaxe and spade.

To whimper and cry like a girl in her teens,

means.
Well! well. am rough. tits a very rough life:
This life of a trooper-but yet I'm no fool!

And. boys, that you love me, ] certainly know.
But wasn't it grand,
When they came down the hill, over sloughing
and sands
Blu; We stood-did We not-like immovsble
rock,
Unheeding their balls, and repelling their
shock:
Did you mind the loud cry,
When as turning to fly.
Our men sprang upon them, determined TO die?
Oh! wasn't it grand:
God help the poor wretches who fell in the fight
No time was there given for prayer or for
flight.
They fell by the score in the crush, hand to
hand,
And they mingled their blood with the slough
ing and sand.
Great heavens! this bullet hole gapes like =

curse on the aim OF the traitorous knave!
Is there never a one of ye knows how to pray:
Or speak for man IS his life ebbs away?

Hear thou this suppliant wanderers cry;

Unheeded by thy gracious eye.
Throw wide the gates to let him in,
And take him, pleading, to thine arms;
Forgive, o Lord, his lifelong sin,
And quiet all his fierce alarms u

Another night and day-like the
other, only more intensely agoniz
ing. Martha Warren was sullenly
indifferent now; suffering had pal
sled every noble feeling. Charley
moaDed for supper: too weak and
spent to sit up, he was lying on the
rock, his head in her lap, his great
eyes fixed on her face.
She tore open a vein in her arm
with her scissors, and made him
drink the blood. Anything, she
said to herself, to calm the wild,
wistful yearning of those large eyes.
The boy raised and peered through
the darkness. 2. ... ...
Mama he said, papa is COM
ing. / felt him touch men'
She wept at the mockery, and
drew the child frantically to her
bosom. ........ -.ees- .r.
The night was fair-lit up by a
new moe. -.t .H"a.
Overcome by deadly exhaustion,
against which she could make no re-
sistance, Martha fell into an uneasy
slumber, which toward midnight,
was broken by startling cry. She
sprang to her feet and gazed around
her. -..
No. her eyes did not deceive her
there on the shore stood the stall
wart form of her husband, and he
was calling her name with the energy
of despair. She could only cry out,
"Oh, Mark and fell senseless to
the earth. .s......
When she awoke to consciousness
she was lying on her bed in the cot
tage, supported dy her husbands
strong arms.
1t was no dream. She and her
darling boy were safe, and her hus-
band had come back. al .
Many weeks passed before she
grew strong again, but Mark tended
her as a mother would an infant, and
by the time the autumn frosts fell,
she was the little Martha Warren of
old. .a......
At the time of the freshet, the
bridge over the Amonoosuc had in
deed been swept away, but Mark,
impelled by an uncomfortable fear
almost presentment-had crossed
the river at the risk of his life, on
log raft, and reached home only to
find it vacant. ... .....
The descendants of Mark Warren
and his wife still dwell among the
fertile valleys of Amonoosuc, and
the old men still tell to their grand
children the story of Martha War
rem and her child .. .

What Makes a Horse Vicious.

There is no Disgusting the fact
that viciousness is innate with some
horses. 1t Is no doubt sometimes
hereditary, and follows some of the
best strains of blood we have.
That viciousness should accompany
a highly nervous organization is
not to be wondered at. Hence it
causes no surprise when we find
such dispositions among the finely
organized thorough-breds-animals
of a most sensitive and nervous
organization-from which the ccm-
mon expression ''thinskinned," as
applied to a too sensitive man, is
obviously derived. The treatment
horses receive, and the moral atmos-
phere in which they are thrown,
have much greater influence than
most horsemen are generally in
clined to admit. The pinching tick
ling, boisterous stable boy, who an
noys spirited horse for the sake
of enjoying his futile, though almost
frantic kicks and leers, is affecting
the disposition of the horse and his
descendants for generations to come,
besides putting in jeopardy the lives
and limbs of those who are brought
in contact with the horse so tam
pered with A horse is surely in
fuenced by the psychological char
acter of the men with whom he as
sociates; A passionate man will
have a baulky horse; slow, plod-
ding brother, one of his own style;
and so the nervous, quick, busy
mans horse will show the same
qualities. So noticeable is this, that
we have often remarked that the
family horses of our neighbors, as
they are changed one after another,
very soon fall into the very gait and
style of their predecessors in the
same stable.

Making a Fortune.
BY MARK TWAIN.

Samuel McFadden was a watch
man in bank. He was poor, but
honest, and his life was without re-
proach. The trouble with him was
that he felt that he was not appre
ciated. His salary was 81 per week,
and when he asked to have it raised,
the president, cashier, and board of
directors glared at him through their
spectacles, and frowned on him, and
told him to get out and stop his in
science, when he knew business was
dull, and the bank could not meet its
expenses now, let alone lavishing
one dollar week on such q miser-
able worm as Samuel McFadden.
And then Samuel MeFadden felt de-
pressed and sad, and the naughty
scorn of the president and cashier
cut him to the soul. He would of
ten go into the side yard, and bow his
venerable twenty-four inch head,
and weep gallons of tears over his
insignificance, and pray that he
might be made worthy of the presi-
dents and cashiers polite attention.
One night a happy thought struck
him; CLEAN of light burst on his
soul, and gazing down the dim vista
of years, and his eyes all blinded By.
tears, he saw himself rich, honored
and respected. So Samuel McFad-
den fooled around, got jimmy and
a monkey wrench cross-cut saw, a
cold chisel, q drill, and about half
ton of gun powder and nitro -glycer-
inc, and all those things. Then in
the dead of night he went to the
safe, and after working at it for
awhile he burst the door and brick
in an immortal smash with perfect
success. Mr.. McFadden then pro-
ceeded to load up with coupons,
greenbacks, currency and specie,
and to nail all the odd change that
was lying anywhere, SO that he
pranced out of the bank with over
one million of dollars ON him. He
then retired to an unassuming resi-
dence out of town, and sent word to |
the detectives where he was.
A detective called on him next |
day with soothing note from the |
cashier. McFadden treated it with |
lofty scorn. Detectives called every
day with humble notes from the
president, cashier, and board of di-
rectors. At last the bank officers
got up magnificent supper, to which |
Mr.. McFadden was invited. He |
came, and as the bank officers
bowed down in the very dust before
him, he pondered over the bitter
past, his soul was filled with exulta-
tions.
Before he drove away in his car
riage that night it was all fixed that
McFadden was to keep half mill
ion Of that money and to be unmo-
Tested if he returned the other half.
He fulfilled his part of the contract
like an honest man, but refused, with
naughty disdain, the offer of the
cashier to marry his daughter.
Mac is now honored and respect
ed, and moves in the best society;
he browses around in purple and
fine linen, and other good clothes,
and enjoys himself first-rate. And
often now he takes his infant on his
knee, and tells him of
his early life, and instils holy prin-
ciples into the child's mind, and
shows him how, by industry, frugal
ity and nitro-glycerine, monkey
cross-cut saws, and famil-
iarity with the detective system,
even the poor may rise to affiuence
and respectability.
