HINTS ABOUT WoKKING.-Thc great
aim of the farmer must be to make the Ia
Dor he employs, as well as his own aud that
OF his teams, more effective. To do this
requires much study. A man may work
hard and &C ,omplish little He does not
plan we'll, or he lacks system and order
Another lays good plans, but lacks energy
sufficient to carry them out in all their de-
tails. 1t is great thing to know when to
work and when to let others work. In
haying and harvesting, farmer who em
ploys good many men should rarely un-
dertake any steady work. He can accom-
plish far more by attending to the little
details than by using up all his strength
in pitching and binding. He should al
ways be present, ready at any moment to
lend hand where his work can be most
effective. He should be able to see at a
glance that every important bolt in me-
chine is tight. He should know the weak
spots in all his operations, and be prepared
for all emergencies He should realize
that the weakest link determines the
strength of the whole chain. In the in
Vulnerable details of farm work this weak
link is sometimes in one thing and some,
times IN another, but it is always some
where. In one field it may be in the reap
er, and In another the binders sometimes
1t IS the pitcher, sometimes the uuloader.
or on the stack or mow 1t is always some.
where, and the farmer should look out for
it and be prepared to strengthen that point

THE GIRL WHO WINS.

The time has passed away when women
must be pale and delicate to be called In
teresting; when she must be totally ignor-
ant of all practical knowledge to be called
refined and high bred when she must
know nothing of the current political news
of the day, or be called masculine and strong
minded.
1t is not sign of high birth or refine
ment to be sickly and ignorant. Those
who affect anything of the kind are behind
the times, and must shake up and air them
sci, es mentally and physically, or drop dn-
der the firm strides Of common sense ideas.
and be crushed into utter insignlhcance
In these days an active, rosy y-faced girl,
with brain quick and clear, warm, light
heart, quick temper at intended insult or
injury, and just as quick to forgive; whose
feet can run as fast as her tongue and not
nut her out of breath who is not afraid
of freckles, or breathe the pure air OF Heav-
en-, unrestaiued by the drawu. curtains ofa
close carriage, and, above all, who can speak
her mind and give her opinion on impor-
tan topics which interest intelligent people,
is the true girl who will make good wo-
man.
This is the girl who wins in these days.
Even fops and dandies who strongly oppose
womans rights like woman who can
talk well, even if she is not handsome-
They weary of the most beautiful creature
if she is not smart They say, saw, yes,
she is beauty, and no mistake, but she
won't do for me-lacks brains"-of which
commodity it would seem she could have
little use in her association with him
however, to please even an empty headed
fop. a woman must know something.

A BIO DINHER-A couple of fiat
boatmen on the Mississippi river having
made an extraordinary good speculation
made, in fact, six hundred dollars, very
large sum to that kind of folk, twenty years
ago-coucluded that while they we're in
New Orleans they would for once in their
lives see what it was to have a real, frst-
class hotel dinner They could afford it and
they would just like to see how 1t would
go. So they went TO the St Charles Hotel
and ordered the very best dinner that es
tabiishaent could afford When they had
eaten to their complete and entire satisfac-
tion (and the probable astonishment Of the
waiters) they called for their bill The
waiter in attendance misund derstanding
them, and supposlng they wanted the bill
of fare, laid it before them with the wine
list uppermost.
"Whew, Bill ~ said Jerry, "heres bill.
Just look at it Here, you add up one
side aud I'll add up the other, and we'll
see what the old thing comes to.
So Bill added up the prices of wines on
one side of the list and Jerry added them
up on the other, and they made the sum
total, 1854.
"Wh-ew, Bill" said Jerry, that's nigh
all we've got. What are we goin' to do
about it?'
1--WE cant pay that" said Bill. "it 'ud
clean us right out. The waiter amt here

"No sir ee,' said Jerry, "Td never do

Cultiyating Strawberries.

To farmers who are not yet schooled
up to the point of taking the trouble to
cultivate strawberries in the garden-bed,
the Ohio Farmer makes this suggestion
. You have upon your premises spot
where stack has been built, some
nook or corner in the meadow where
the soil is rich, q place that fence has
been moved from, or where logs have
been piled and burned or drawn off.
Now some day during the coming two
weeks, when the team is hitched up,
take the pillow and turn this little patch
over, harrow it well, and then 90 to
some more enterprising neighbor who
raises Strawberries and thin his patch OF
plants, which he will gladly have you
do if his bed is old, and put out sets
upon your own land. Next June you
will rejoice at the result. If in future
years you have not time to give the
patch cultivation, let it alone until the
vines begin to get non-productive, then
prepare new place, pillow the old ones
under and seed the ground to grass.
We know of farmers who follow this
method and no cash expense. 1t Is not
the most approved system of culture,
but better than none

Sowing Grain.

A very nice experiment was institu-

year, by the Professor Of Agriculture,
Mr.. Daniels, to test the question of the
proper quantity OF seed per acre. This
test, however, showed yield in proper
ton to the seed sown the least guam.
tity, three-fourth bushels, giving the
least result, and the greater quantity,
two bushels per acre, giving the greatest
amount. The experiment was as fol-
lows: Three fourth bushels of seed TO
the acre produced 263 pounds of grain,
or 1853 bushels, or $50 pounds straw
and grain. One bushel produded 297
pounds, 1888 bushels, or 500 pounds
grain and straw. One and one.fourth
bushels produced 1929 pounds, DIS
bushels, l, l46 pounds grain and straw.
One and one-half bushels produced 1861
pounds, 20 l6 bushels, and 1874 pounds
grain and straw. Two bushels produced
4jjl pounds, 80! bushels, and lap
pounds grain and straw. On the whole
plat where one and three.fourth bushels
were sown local cause gave an unfair
result in each instance the weight per
bushel was sixty pounds or more, the
highest being in the plat where two
bushels of seed were sown, which was
sixty and one-half pounds.
