Hiding Ills Tracks.

There were vigorous inquiries at the
Post Office yesterday (says the Detroit
Free Press for the chief clerk, and as
the Captains face appeared at the win
dow the inquirer asked:
elias a cross-eyed woman been here
asking for letters addressed TO me g
He hadn't seen her.
"Well, she'll be here this forenoon.
She's my wife. and she's leetle weak
in the head. She's got the notion that
| get love letters from a woman in
Canada. and she'll be here to ask for
my mail.
.Well r.
Well, | don't get any such letters, of
course, but you mustn't give her my
mail. She might get one with a draft
in, and not know its value. Just say
to her that you never knew of my re-
ceiving letter here and that you have
repeatedly heard me say that | had the
best wife in town.
"ButI don't know you.
.sNever mind that. In dealing with
an insane woman it's best to be soft.
and slick. and smooth. just shake
hands with her, praise her small feet,
and tell her she ought to be proud OF
such a husband as | am.

Condition of Insurance Matters.

There are few people who have not,
during the last fonr or five years,
learned from their observations 0r ex-
periences. the necessity of close scrut-
inv into the financial condition and
conduct of the companies proposing to
insure their lives and property. Nor
has there been any Improvement in
the situation to warrant laxity in
this respect. Many failures have
occurred and the indications are I'M
mistakable that others will follow. A
score or more of companies are pursu-
ing almost precisely the courses which
have heretofore preceded such an end
ing, if indeed they have not made dis
aster inevitable. Despite the long
cherished promise of protection and
preventive interference by the lnsnr-
ance Departments, life companies that
have ceased to be profitable to their
stockholders manage TO precipltate
their own dissolution, and cannot be
compelled to continue business for the
benefit of their policy holders, but so
contrive that the alternative lies be-
tween total loss and the almost in
evitable swindle of reinsurance. The
cause of disasters that are not brought
about by collision are reckless expen-
diture and a lack of new business. No
life company has yet come to grief
because of excessive mortality, and
none will unless its best risks reinsur-
ing.
The rock on which the weak fire
insurance company splits is excessive
losses combind with unremunerative
rates of premium. Atno time since
the great fires of Chicago and Boston
have premiums been SO small as now.
Competition between rival companies
has lead to alternate undertaking, or
ssunder.cutting' as it is called, until
some companies are abandoning the
business. and host of them, es-
pecially of the weaker sort, are inyit-
ing calamity. The consequence viii
be that comparatively small loss will
cripple them, and being unable to pay
they will not pay any losses whatever.
Farmers have fewer facilities for
knowing all this than other peole and
are therefore more liable to be imposed
upon. Their best course in the premi-
ses is to insure only the most stable
and reputable companies, whatever
the rate of premium required and to
avoid those which propose cheapness
as an inducement.
As regards the life companies there
are half dozen or more that are be-
yond the possibility of trouble, and
the remainder will disclose their con-
dition with more or less accuracy in
their annual reports for the COM
ing year. Until these are forthcom-
ing it is perhaps just as well to hasten
very slowly indeed.

HOUSE FARM & GARDEN.
Loose or s.lld Land for Wheat.


Mr.. Mecchi, writing at some length
ON this subject says: Whenever we
have rolled and solidified the wheat
land, either befMe or after drilling,
the crop has yielded well, especially
on the light land before sailing. at the
rate of six to ten bushals to the acre.
Salt sOlidifies the land. The late Mr..
Piper, of Colne, used to grow his thick
est wheat year after year ON the same
land top dressed without blowing mere
ly hoeing up the stubbleS and weeds.
lie grew great crops. 1t was on good
land adjoining the river. Toplease my
self and a friend he dug a small per-
ton to see the effects; and certainly
that wheat and straw were inferior to
the anplowed. The late Mr.. Wood
ward used to tread his wheat. have
seen gangs of people doing this. When
he G. verified some poor grass into ara
BILE ,.nl by draining and deep digging,
he sOwed three bushels of wheat per
acre, broadcast, and consolidated the
farm by treading it with twenty-four
farm horses. In 1873 we deeply horse
plowed and MANFRED some land after
tares for wheat. We and our visitors
admired the apparently heavy and
bulky crop, and rather despised its
neighbor, which was taken after cab
bage folded by sheep, and merely skim
ploWed but the result proved we were
all wrong in our estimate, for the de-
spised cabbage land crop yielded best.
We can never have our land too deep
| ly disturbed for root and green crops,
or too highly MANFRED. My finest
| crops of wheat have been grown after
red clover, once moved, then manured
with twelve loads per acre of best
| shed manure, and when the clover
again grew high, folded it closely with
sheep eating cake and corn. Then
lightly plowed and drilled with one
bushel of white wheat per acre the
yield in 1868, sixty-four bushels pei
acre, then drilled with one bushel OF
Rivetts, MANFRED with two hundred
weight of best Peruvian guano mixed
with one hundred weight of common
salt-this in 1869, produced sixty
bushels per acre. 1t will be seen that
the ground had been consolidated by
sheep treading, and was but little dis
turbed. Stiff standing corn crops
whether of oats, barley or wheat, sc
far as my experience goes, are best OBJ
tanned by shallow plowmg, provided
the land has been previously very
deeply cultivated and highly manured
for the root crops.

Useful Family Hints.

To Preserve Eggs.-I.-MiX together
in a tub or vessel one bushel of quick
lime. two pounds of salt, one-half
pound cream Of tartar, with as much
water as will reduce the composition
to a consistence to float an egg, then
keep the eggs therein. This will pre-
serve them perfect for two years at
least.
TO Clean Black Alapaca or Cashmere.
Make a strong soap-suds of warm-not
hot-water, put into It perhaps a
teaspoonful of boTaX wash the goods
thoroughly in this. and if IS very dirty
wash in two waters prepared the same
way rub no soap on your material
rinse in very blue bluing water; iron
on the wrong side when half dry.
This will make rusty alpaca look fresh.
Food for Children. Lit is impossi-
able to inform s. 9. as to ''the best
article of diet for childen just wean-
ed" without knowledge of its age
and the condition of its dental organs.
If it had teeth with which to masticate,
it may be allowed solids ifstill nnsup-
Piled with teeth, it must take only
fluids. But there is choice of fluids
of course. The best is new milk,
somewhat diluted with water, with a
