HARVESTHOME.

Sioux Falls proposes holding grand
harvest festival in September to last
two days. The headquarters will be on
the Island, and the exercises will con-
sist of swinging, dancing, music,
speeches, sermons, and exhibitions of
stock and produce, to say nothing of
eating and drinking. Churches and
Sabbath Schools are invited to partici-

Something like this is what We: have
been urging for this county. We have
this year the encouragement and the a.

A NOman's Influence.

Years ago Nine. Risteri was playing
in the city of Madrid in the royal thea
ter. She had carried the guidance
away In the act by her great power.
The curtain had fallen On the first act
and unusually long applause occurred.
No one could understand her absence
The time came and passed when she
should have resumed play. What was
the meaning of her absence? AS she
was passing from from the stage, in
the wings stood poor woman who
caught her garments. Madam" she
said, "do you hear that bell now toll
ing?" dyes" "That bell tolls for the
death of my husband; he will die at
sunrise tomorrow. Won't you," I'M
plored the woman, "plead for mei
The queen sits in the box yonder." The
great trrgedy queen went to the royal
box and begged for the life of that
mana man that she bad no particu-
lar interest in, but sim oily because be
was going to die. Nine. Ristori pleaded
80 we'll with the queen that with pen.
Gil she wrote his reprieve and he was
saved. Meanwhile the truth had crept
out among the audience, and when the
curtain rose again every person sprang
to their feet. Tears ran like rain, and
hats and handkerchiefs were waived,
and shout after shout went up from
the multitude. Why was this applause
Not for the tragic queen, hut for the
woman infinitely greater-the woman
that had pleaded for life and not IN
vain.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.


One secret of getting this forward
early consists in planting or sowing In
q very light and rich, but not rankly
MANFRED soil, and in q Sarm situation.
A strip Of good soil along the front wall
Of a dollhouse is an excellent place to
SOW if there is sufficient depth of soil.
The heat from the wall makes g. sensi-
BILE difference in the temperature of
the ground for several feet outward
The seed should be sown in drills six
inches apart, and the young plants
should be thinned out as soon as they
can be laid hold Of first, to one or two
inches asunder, and the last three to
Six inches. This is not allowing much
room, but it is enough to produce nice
little compact heads. When the plants
are growing they should never be al
lowed to get dry at the root, but kept
constantly moist, to encourage q quick
succulent growth and early heating.

arose to her feet and looked about her.
There was no house in sight and no
help near. Suddenly thought struck
her. She had matches in her pocket,
and her dress was thin calicO-it
would burn like finder. In moment
more she had torn it off and had the
matches in her hand. AS she struck a
light she heard a pistol click.
'They see me-" she said, and held
the match against the old calico, and as
it caught, fourished it over her head.
She felt bullet whiz by her shoulder;
another struck her; but now the glare
was bright, and the train was close at
hand. She rushed toward it, waving
her burning dress. Thank God they
saw her. The train slackened it's pace
it stopped. Men with lanterns in
their hands sprang from it and hurried
toward her. And the old dress, burnt
to finder, dropped to the ground, and
she sank beside it, the blood flowing
from wound in her arm.
"They've killed me, / behave" she

When she came to herself she was by

her bravery.

"Indeed, then," said another voice

How to Mako Hot Beds.

Place the frame where the bed is
to stand, fronting to the south or
southwest; mark the ground all around
ON the inside of the frame, then re-
move the frame and dig out space
about eighteen inches deep, and re-
place the frame, which will rest i'm
-mediately On the edge of the pit. Then
procure some stable manure, which
ought to be fresh from the stable, and
place it in q heap. Shake every fork
full web, mix the long manure with
the short. Now begin to fill the pit;
when you have shaken in dung to the
thickness of five Or six inches, beat
beat well down and so on till the
manure is about nine inches from the
top of the front of the box; now see
that it is quite level, and put on the
sash. The heat will begin to rise next
day, and on the second day it will be
ready to receive the earth, which should
be dry, not like dust, but not too wet,
and should be rich and fresh. The bed
should be filled up about six inches
with it; then put on the sash and let
them remain twenty-four hours; then
take them off and stir the earth well
The earth is to be level, not sloping.
like the glass. The glass Is sloping to
to meet the suns rays, and carry off the
water. The earth which was taken
out Of the pit should be put around
the outside Of the frame so that nc
water will run into the bed. When
ready to SOW the seed, take off the
sash and make little drills from the
back of the bed to the front, drop the
seed along the drills regularly, cover
all over smoothly, write the names OF
the seeds and date of sowing on q
small piece of paper put in the cleft
of little stick, and stick it into the
ground at the end of each drill, and
put on the sash. The main principle
is to give always as much air as the
plants will endure, taking advantage
of every mild day to remove the sash
for this purpose. If they have MOI
enough air they will grow up spind
ling, and will have small seed leaves
and indeed, if too much deprived Of
air, will die. Let them grow strong
rather than tall; short stems anc
broad, dark green seed leaves are signs
of good plants. Out of q hundred
failures In hot bed culture, ninety
nine arise from giving too little air

Of some one getting tired or faded,
But finu some ones photograph

Though not another soul suspects it
AS close as may be to my heart,
Perhaps it is the warmth atfectf it:

I'm faithful az the Roman leg1ons
But now and then some one appears
Voyaging in the Arctic regions

But then, you know, they haven't proved it.
That picture fades decidedly, -
AS dwindles Luna to crescent

That some ones love is evanescent?
Such thoughts upon these sunless DAYS.
Despite my bosom's ardor, strike it,

And yet it looks little like it.

Along the bright horizon line,
Dividing earth from orient skies,
We look more northward for the sign
Of light each morn as darkness dies:
Yon wood, toward which the sun slow green's
Will soon resound with CHR ping song
Throughout its still and solemn deeps-
The lays are growing long.

Left far to shadewy north yon spire
This Sunday MON, the first bright rays
Its belfry lights with CLEAN of fire,
That shining through its window, seems
An eye prophetic of the throng
OF Joys with which the vision teens

With curious, hopeful, awe-struok gaze

to October. Phlox will be the first to
blossom, and then petunias will come
on, and both of these flowers continue
to increase in beauty until hard frosts

August and September. Calliopsis be-
gins to blossom i'll July, and nearly all
the others come on early in that month.
If old flowers are removed and not al
lowed to 60 to seed you will have q
much greater profusion of bloom. If
you do not remove faded but allow
them to perfect seed, you will soon see
that your plants are losing a large share
of their former glory. You can't ex-

Raising Calves.

|
Mr.. T. B. Miner probably churns th'
mllk whion accounts for his PROPOSE
ton to feed buttermilk. Much said by
this gentleman is true; but as [ hav.
had very great experience in England
and In the United States in raising
calves, and as the trade with England
Is likely to cause much more raising tc
supply the meat far expectation, vii
| add few remarks, 1t is very easy tC
raise calves by hand, and when there
Is no cheese made, and the cream only
is churned, the skim-milk is all that il
required, as the calves will do much
better not to have anything mixed with
the milk. have raised calves fol
forty years, and fed them ten years be.
fore that, for it was my job from The
age of ten to help the servant girl feed
the calves.
In England the raising is done by let
ting the calves suck for week, and
then warming the skim-milk, which is
sweet there when skinned; but twice
day is quite sufficient for feeding,
and IN winter the calves have hay and
some turnips cut, as soon as they will
begin to eat, which is generally when
about month old-the Attorneys q
week Or ten days sooner.
The least troublesome way is not to
let the calf suck at all, as it will take
to drinking the milk in few minutes
after trial. Give the mothers
milk warm from her for the
first week; then give skim milk, 8
little warmer than new milk, night and
morning, and when grass comes let the
calves lie in s. paddock with shade in it,
and they will eat as much grass as will
do them good; and this is all they will
require if they can have about six
quart of the skim milk every morning,
and the same quantity at night. When
three month old they will do very well
on any good pasture, but they will
grow faster if the milk is continued
longer.
When cheese is made the whey has
to be given, and that is poor feed; but
something mixed with that, as Mr..
Miner advises, will do good, care being
taken to give but little SIT first, to guard
against securing. have raised 81 great
many on whey, and given nothing but
what the calves could pick from man
gers or troughs; though in these cases
milk was continued longer from the
cow, and some mixed with the whey
the first few feelings.
Of all the stupid ways OF raising
calves, the custom In the south and
southwest, of letting them suck at
milking time, beats others, for the COW
will not give her milk down till the calf
comes to her, and there are thousands
of poor, ignorant men and women who
think COWS cannot be MIXED without
the presence of the calf, and have no
idea of using more than one hand at s.
time in milking.
The time is approaching when all the
heifer calves will be raised, and then
the cream will be SKINNED off and
churned, and the milk given to the
calves. Then the importance of using
the best, pure-bred bulls will be felt,
and the country will be enriched by the
sale of meat, instead of sending corn
and grain abroad Worklseg Former, in
