Useful Hints.

A NEW USE FOR OLD CARPETS. Old ingram
or three-ply carpets, however faded or worn,
may be turned to good account in the follow
ing manner; Ravel out She carpet, and as you
do SO wind it in balls, When this is done,
have ready some scarlet blue, or green yarn
which, il the colors of the carpet be very dull,
will help to enliven them Next take long
stick, like a yard-stick and wrap The raveled
yarn tightly around it, interspersing it with
little red and green all the way through
when the stick is fall, begin to sew it along
one edge, so MS to secure it, and then cut it
open on the other. Now do another and an
other stickful in the same way until the car
pet is all gone. piece of strong crash will
answer the best as foundation for the rug
we are proposing 10 make out of all this, and
having hemned itat each end, begin in the
middle with tnft of bright coors, sewing
the rest around on the foundation as closely
rs possible, row after row, until the crash is
completely covered. 1t may thus be made as
large as required, and can be trimmed to make
the tuft even. This will give you a very ser
viceable door-mat or rug, and will wear as
long as the old carpet has already DONE ar-
pers' Ba.dar.
NARROWING CoRN.-A correspondent of the
Western Farmer gives the following description
ofhow he harrows his corn
81 commence just before the corn comes up
and continue as needed, TO keep the soil loose
and weeds out of sight, until it is SO tall the
harrow will break it off if used. There is
nothing so needful to secure good crop of
corn, with our short seasons, as frequent stir
ring of the soil when it is in its first stages of
growth, and no tool will do this so cheaply or
SO thoroughly in the hill as rightly construct
ed harrow. harrow back and forth until
have my land as desire. If the corn is rowed
both ways of the field the second narrowing
should cross the FIRST the third the second, and
so on. have not failed in four years with
Dent corn on my white, heavy, cold SOIL"
How TO SAVE SHOE SoLEs-It consists mere
ly in melting together tallow and rosin, in the
proportion of two parts Of the former to one
part of the latter, and applying the prepare

Whisper it softly,

Whisper it softly,
When nobody's near;
Let not those accents
Fall harsh on the ear
She is a blossom
Too tender and frail
To meet the keen blasts
OF the pitiless gale.
Whisper it gently,
Twill cause thee no pain,
Gentle words rarely
Are spoken in vain
Threats and reproaches
The stubborn may move,
But noble the conquest
When aided by love.
Whisper it kindly,
Twill pay thee to know
Penitent tear-drops
Down her cheeks flow.
Has she from virtue
Wandered astray,
Guide her feet gently,
Rough is the way.
She has no parent,
None Of her kin,
Lead her from error,
Keep her from sin.
Does she lean on thee?
oh, cherish the trust
God to the mefciful
Ever is just.

As requested, checrfuly give you my opin-

it every year since it was first manufactured,
and have always been satisfied with its re-

other fertilizers and although the others cost
more money, made AS good wheat with the
Excelsior as with the other articles. | believe
the standard is kept up, as what used last
fall was as good as any ever used.
