The most noticeable feature of every
feld is the parcbed condition of the
grass and the general effects of the
drought. There has not been rain enough
to dissolve an ounce of the nitrates found
in the hay since haying commenced here.
The farmers could well afford to lose
some of this soluble element from their
hay crop if they could have some rain
to save the corn crop. am glad to see
that the farmers are trying such expert
ments as that reported to the NORTH
ERxER, on the elements lost from hay
by rain. 1t is just what has been taught
here for years. Another equally dam
aging effect on the hay crop, and one
exceedingly exhausting to the soil there
fore of far more consequence to the
farmer, is to allow his grass to stand so
loug before cutting. OF this wrote

now.
The State Board of Agriculture had
a long and important business meeting
last week. The business was mostly OF
a financial nature and was chiefly in
considering what should be done with
the money appropriated for repairs and
permanent improvements. The plan
which has been discussed for some time
of putting larger dam across Cedar
river and putting in a Turbine water
wheel was finally given up as impracti-
cable, because it was believed that the
same power could be more easily OBJ
tanned, and at less expense, by invest
inc in steam engine. The Board au-
thorized Prof. Ingersoll to buy some
more first.class swine. Quite number
of permanent improvements, such as
wind mill for pumping water, small
engine for running the feed cutter,

MISCONCEPTIONS.

There arc many familiar phrases in
constant use which the majority Of the
people suppose have their origin in the
Bible, and use them in that connection.
The New York Observer corrects this
error in the following manner;

lamb" From Sterne's Sentimental
journal to Italy. Compare Isaiah vii. 6.

hath commanded to be received" From
the Engli-h Catechsm.
Not to be wise about what is writ
ten" Not in Scripture.
"The merciful man is mercilul to his
beast" The scriptural form is: "a
righteous man regardeth the life of his
beast" Prov. xii. 10.
a nation shall be born in a day"
In Isaiah st reads "Shall nation be
born at once ,"
AS iron sharpeneth iron, SO doth Il
man the countenance Of "a friend. - "lron

The tears came to Barbara's eyes, and
she fondy stroked his hair in testimony
of her heartfelt gratitude. When even
ing came she opened the book. Careful
ly looking it over, her eyes fell upon
small package Of papers. To her sur
prise, they were drafts to large sum, all
in her name. At that moment Fred
came in.
"Do look here" said the astonished
girl what can this mean ?"
I'm sure l don't know" said Fred,
equally surprised.

chuckling laugh, "thst l am most done
with the money, and l wanted to give it
to some one who deserves it. Eh, eh,
child, I've been fooling you. Conrad
and Joe wanted to cart these old bones to
the poorhouse. Would they do it now,
think you ?"
"And do you mean 10 give so much
money to me ?"
Yes why not ? haven't q child of
my own, and why shouldn't I give it to
Barbara's children, especially to the one
that was willing to share her last crust
with me? It's all coming out right"
"Then why may we not marry, Fred ?''
inquired Barbara.
"Sure enough" said Uncle Jacob
"The young man shall 20 at once for the
minister, for this sickness is not sham,

So Fred went for the minister two or
three neighbors came in, and, standing

spoken which mado the young couple

"Now you can take the bakery" said
Uncle Jacob, when the guests had gone,

Barbara, laying her hand on his withered

All night Fred and Barbara watched
by Uncle Jacob, whose life, though
flickering brightly for the moment, was
fast going out. AT daybreak, just when
