The Joy of Incompleteness.
II all our lives were one broad glare
OF sunlight, clear, unc!cudedi
II all our paths were smooth and fair,
BY no soft gloom enshrouded
II all LIES flowers were fully blown
Without the sweet unfolding,
Aud happiness were rude!y thrown
On hands too weak for holding
Should We not miss the twilight hours,
The gentle haze and Sadnessl
Should We not long for storms and showers
T. break the constant gladness;
If none were sick and none were sad
What service could we render
think If we were always glad
We scarcely could be tender;
Did our beloved never need
Our patent ministralioo,
Earth would grow cold, and miss indeed
ItH sweetest consolation;
II sorrow never claimed cur heart,
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die aud hope depart
Life would be disenchanted.
And yet in Heaven Is no more night,
In Heaven Is NJ more sorrow,
such unimagined new delight
Fresh grace from pain will borrow
As the poor seed that underground
Seeks its true life above il,
Not knowing what viii there be found
When sunbeams kiss and love iI,
50 we IN darkness upward grow,
And look and long for Heaven,
But cannot picture il below,
Till more Of light be given.

minuting the most obdurate soil and
thereby assist in its improvement Plow.
ing increases the capacity of soils to hold
water, which, becoming frozen, expand.
and commutes it into infinitesimal frap.
ments and is therefore its most efficient
pulveriZer. And thus results are obtained
from the blowing and freezing which
neither alone could secure.
In the preparation Of land, therefore.
for ::ext seasons tillage the advantages
Of winter blowing are most decided OF
course lands which are so steep as to wash
badly should not, under most circum.
stances, be plowed in the fall or winter:
but when there is a necessity for doing so
the hillside pillow should be used and the
burrows so directed that the washing rains
or melting SHOWS can do them as little
damage as possible. Another great ad
vantage of fall or winter blowing is that
two or three inches more depth of soil
can be thrown up than in spring blowing,
the frosts OF winter so mellOwing the raw,
cold subsoil as to render its incorporation
with the surface soil an easy matter.
1t follows, then, from these facts, that
whenever tile ground is not too wet-par.
ticularly where there is large spring
crop in view--it is best to command the
services Of Jack Frost in comminntlng
and preparing the soil ready for an early
start in TIE spring. This great me.hani.
cal assistant costs nothing and is always
on hand, if the land has been plowed in
time 1t is these natural forces that the
farmer should study to utilize to the best
advantage, whether they be solar light,
heat, descending rains of spring, summer
nd in b,,r tbo
riching stores of plant food from the at
mosphere, or the hard-freezng weather of
winter. The deeper the earth is stirred
and the more its particles are comminuted
the more rain it will absorb and hold, and
consequently the more of those enriching
stores of plant food contained in the at.
mosphere are brought down and secured.
The joint action OF the blowing and treez.
ing of the soil is therefore of more value
than is generally understood or appre.
ciated. -Bdltim0re Sun.

Potatoes as Food for Stock.

POTATOES in many localities distant
from market are this season so abundant
and cheap that they can only be used to
advantage for feeding out to stock. 1t is
true that certain agricultural writers have
OF late endeavored 10 show that this valu-
able tuber was of little or o value for
such purposes, but it is very probable that
the gentlemen who advance such theories
are not practical agricultursts. The value
of the potato as food for man and many
OF our domestic animals is too well known
to be discarded at this late day in conse
quence of anything which may be written
by theoretical chemists or agriculturists.
But while the potato has been bone Of
contention among agriculturists tor many
years, its practical and specific value as
food for stock has never been disproved
when put to the test. The celebrated
veterinarian, William Youatt, in speaking
of the value of the various kinds Of root,
as food for stock, says of the potato.
Among the various vegetable produc-
tons that have been appropriated to the
stall feeding of cattle none have occa-
stoned greater discussion than potatoes.
They furnish an excellent supply, particu
larly when cut and steamed, and appear
adequate to the fattenlng of neat cattle in
combination with comparatively small
portions of other food" In the eleventh
volume of the British Annals of
Agriculture" we find some state
ments from Mr.. Campbell, of Charl-
ton, England, which bear directly
upon this question He observes that 100
bushels of potatoes and 700 pounds of hay
are generally sufficient to fatten any ami
NAL that thrives tolerably we'll They
should at first be given IN small quaint
ties and gradually increased TO one or two
bushels per day; dry food being always
intermixed, and the proportion of hay be-
ing uniformly regulated by he effect
which the potatoes produce on the bowels.
The hay should always be cut in order
that it may be more readily mixed with
the potatoes.
We might give almost any amount OF
testimony from practical farmers and
stock -raiserS To corroborate the above, but
think it entirely unnecessary, as it is quite
likely that majority of our readers know
from experience that potatoes are valua-
BILE food for stock. At the present price
of beef, cheese, butter or pork, we think
our farmers would do better to feed out
their potatoes than 10 sell them at twenty
cents per bushel and less, prices at which
they have been sold in many localities
this season Potatoes are too heavy and
bulky "a crop to send to distant market,
hut they are readily turned into beef,
cheese or butter, and in these forms the
cost of transportation is greatly reduced

Surface Manuring.

AT one of the evening meetings OF the
New York State Fair James Miller read a
paper on How to Make the Farm Pay"
from which we reproduce his views on
surface manuring: If this kind of ma
nuring is done intelligently, he says, il is
highly beneficial. But the soil must be
in condition to be benefited. Manure
should not be applied on old meadows
and pastures which have been trampled
until they are nearly rs compact as the
beaten track, and which have little grass
to be benefited. II applied upon grass
lands they should be newly seeded. Dur
ing last fall and winter drew manure

think the halt top-dreSsed afforded four
times rs much as the other half 1t not
