One Of our best cloyer-seed savers is
just at cur eIbow and he says: TelIthem
the second crop is the one for seed, and
10 really fit FOR no other purpose. as it
saiiyates the stock fed on it; that the
best time to cut for seed is a very nice
point to determine; it should be cut
when the majority of the heads turn
brow, and hefore any OF them begin to
shed OF the Little seed pods, each of which
contains a seed. Cut the second crop of
clover just as though it were for hay,
rake into winnows and let it lie and take
one or two showers; then put it into
very small cocks while damp, about one
good pitchfork full in q place, and when
1t is dry put into stacks and cap with
something tiIat viii turn the water, or
what IS still better, if you have shed
or barn. put il there and let it remain
till you can get huller to get it out for
you. There are hullers enough now in
the state to hull all the seed needed for
home use, and the owners of the huJIers
are willing asd anxious to go to any
ection where work can be had. Let our
farmers save sll the cloverseed they can,
and thus help 40 make thousands
dollars for the state, now sent out each
year for clover seed to sow.--RuraL Sun.

CHAPTER II.
aDart. Maitland. Dart q CO..

The names stood unaltered on the
great plate; yet---eXcept the sleeping
partner, away i'm India nOw---each one
represented by that sign was perfectly
aware that a great alteration had been
growing in himself ever since Colonel
CoGyngham and his daughter had been
living in Highboough. The strong
bank walls no longer limited his hope
and ambition. Beyond them stood re-
vealed a home of love, and ease, and
sunshine, brightly possible; and in this
future the only mission of the good old
bank was to furnish the home with
luxury.
1t was a winter night. The bank
windows were bolted and barred, the
great books were locked away in the
trusty safes, and the manager was asleep
up stairs, with the loaded blunderbuss
beside his bed. But in his brilliantly
lighted drawing-rOom at home, the senior
partner sat alone---a striking looking man
in his evening dress, with the dollhouse
flowers fading in his coat. The room had
been filled with guests up to this time,
but now Mr.. Dart sat alone before the
fire, bnried in thought which deepened
minute by minute, unil the door was
opened, and Walter Maitland re-entered
the room he had but lately left.

said, beginning hurriedly to speak, as if

4 BLACK HILLS CAVE.

About three miles above Crook City,
on the Whitewood creek, has been dis
covered a singular cave. 1t is situated
on the northwest side of the creek, about
three hundred feet above the bed of the
stream. 1t opens into a hill of lime
stone formation fifty feet high. The en-
trance to the cave is twenty feet wide by
ten feet high. The first chamber is about
seventy-hve feet in length, and extends
little west of north. Then you enter
another chamber about two hundred feet
in length, running almost directly north
east. This second chamber is about
thirty feet wide and ten feet high. Next
you enter upon an incline floor extending
down through room six feet wide, forty
feet high and fifteen feet in length. As
you leave this singular chamber you
turn into a small opening two and one
half by three feet, crawling on your
hands and knees until it gradually
enlarges to a ceiling fifteen feet high.
The atmosphere of the cave is noA dis
agreeable. 1t is necessary to 4 Re 6

Don't forget that warm weather is the
time to make pork. There is little profit
in feeding hogs, so far as pork making is
concerned, when the thermometer is
down to zero. Remember this fact, and
commence feeding early. Hogs that are
to be marketed this year ought now to
be in fair condition and should be led
unsparingly from this on until they are
ready for the market. The great mass of
western farmers rely entirely upon our
great staple; corn, for n fattening food,
and certainly there smoothing that equals
it for that purpose. With a large ma
iority OF feeders the growing crop il de-
pended upon to fit the hogs now on
hand foI the market; and, when this is
the case, they should commence lust as
soon as the corn is hard enough to be of
service. But when there is a sufficient
quantity OF old corn on hand, it will be
found more profitable to continue its use
until the new crop is thoughly ripened.
If the hogs tire of it in its hard dry form
it vii be found profitable to shell it from,
the cob, and then soak it, say about
twelve hours before feeding, for few
days, and then return to the dry corn.
The great secret of successful pork-mak-
ing lies in keeping the appetite of the
hog IN good condition, then supplying it |
PlentiIully with corn, and making YOUR |

was once believed that cultivating the
soil and raising crops therefrom, must
necessarily exhaust it, and in accurate
account with the farm it was believed
proper allowance should be made for the
deterioration or wearing out of the soil,
Just allowance should be made for the
wearing out of work animals and ma
chinery. But the conviction has gradu-
ally been gaining ground that the system
of husbandry which raises the largest
crops rather improves than exhausts the
soil; that man may &c on for a series
OF years making money from farm, and
at the same time increasing its produc-
tive capacity and value.
We were led into this train of thought
by looking over the farm, recently, OF
Mr.. Edmund Reynolds, in Ontario
county. We knew this place forty years
ago, and for the following twenty years
were quite familiar with the crops it pro-
duced, and we saw better wheat, better
oats. and better grass growing on the
same land, the other day, than it produced
from twenty-five to forty years ago.
And this is not an exceptional year in
this respect, but the crops have been
gradually improving during the last ten
and twenty years.
The improvement has bSen brought
about by iudicious rotation Of crops, by
blowing under clover, by keeping more
stock, by deeper and more thorough pull
verization of the soil, and, to some ex-
tent. by drainage. During this time the
improvements have been paid for in the
increased productions of the soil. We
are inclined TO believe that naturally
good soil IS iuexhaustible under wise
tillage; that b ,untiful and economical
Providence so locked UP the elements OF
plant-food in the soil that mans improyl-
dence cannot exhaust them entirely. The
food of plants In the soils Is 50 chemi-
cally combined with the other minerals
of which it is composed that it requires
time. the gradual action of the forces of
nature and of art, and the growth of
plants, to dissolve and remAYe it, and
thus God has so entailed the earth that
man is unable to spend his rich inner
itance, but is forced to hand it down from
generation to generation. -RTal Home.

As the time for weaving the lambs APP
proaches, the fockmaster should allow
tie pasture to improve, unless it is
already at its best. Such desired i'm
provement en- be secured by removing
4 portion of the stock for few weeks.
When separated from their dams, the
lambs had best be allowed to remain in
tie pasture to which they have been
accustomed. If this is done, and few
cd ewes that have not raised lambs the
present season, of which nearly every
flock has more or less, are allowed to re-
main with the youngsters, very much of
worry and grief Of the latter may be
avoided, and their movement from
point To poing rendered comparatively
easy. The Old sheep viii lead the way
to the troughs Of bran aud grain that are
a part Of the outfit of every fockmaster
who Is forced To depend upon cured feed
during the winter months. The morning
is tie best time for separating the lambs
from the flock, which should be shut in
q dry lot the previous evening. This
latter precauton viii save much iucon-
vcnience from swened udders Of the ewes,
which should be kept on short pastusage
1or several days, to reduce the secretion
OF milk. A careful watch should be
kept over them, and, where appearances
indicate theapproach of inflammation, the
udder emptied by hand. In the majority
OF cases the precautions against accu-
mutation of milk will be all that is neces-
sary. Some shepherds advise that the
lambs be turned with their mothers
after one days separation, remaining
only long enough to remove the accumu-
la-ed milk. Such course Is practicable,
however, only ia small docks, and even
with these has its disadvantages in pro-
longing the time required for becoming
reconciled to separation on the part of
both Gmothers and lambs When thor
0ughly dried, the ewes should be given
the best possible opportunity for thrift,
