way is TO follow the plow with an evenly

enough to wash out the soluble parts
before planting, where sod is turned
down for manure, and the surface soil

better way, however, is 10 turn down
the sod early enough and to follow with

Mo1art's Last Moments.

There is sonnet hing striSinglv beauti'
ful and touching in the circumstance of
his death "His sweetest song was the
last he sung the Requiem" He
had been employed upon this exquisite
piece for several weeks--his soul 4 led
with inspirations of the richest melody,
and already claiming kindred with i'm
mortality. After giving it its last touch,
and breathing into it that undying spirit
of song which was to consecrate II
through all time " as his cygnean strain" "
he lell into gentle and quiet slumber.
At length the light footsteps OF his
daughter Emile awoke him. Come
hither," said he, "my Emilie-my task
is done-the Requiem is finished" "Say
no. 70, dear father" said the gentle girl
interrupting him as tears stood in her
eyes "you must he better--you look
better, for even now your cheek has \
glow upon it. am sure we will nurse
you well again-let me bring you some-
thing refreshing" do not deceive
yourself, my love" said the dying father;
"this wasted form can never be restored
| by human aid. From heavens mercy
alone do l look for aid in this my dying
hour. You spoke OF refreshments, my
Emilie-take these my last notes, sit
down by my piano here, sing them with
the hymn of thy sainted mother; let me
snce more hear those tones that have
been my solacement and delight" "
Emile obeyed and with voice en-
riched with tenderost emotion, sung the
following stanzss:
Esprit thy labor is DER
Thy term OF probation Is run,
lhy steps are nov bound for ne untrodden shore,
And the race OF immortals begun.
| Spirit look not on the strife,
| Or the pleasures of earth with regret.
| Pause not op he threshold OF llmitless life.
To mourn Tor the day that is set.
Spirit no tetters can bind,
Ne wicked nave power to molest
There the weary, like thee the wreched, shall hnd
A haven-a mansion OF rest.
| Spirit how bright is the road
| For when thou art now on the wing.
Thy home 10 will he with thy ,sviOr and God,
Their loud hallelujahs to sing"
| As she concluded, she dwelt for mo.
ment upon the low, melancholy notes OF
the piece, and then turning from the
instrument, looked in silence for the
approving smile OF her father. 1t was
the still, passionless smile which the rapt
and joyous spirit had left, with the sea-
OF death upon those features.

Clover for brood se W ..

Yes, clover for hogs Let them have
clover the year round-clover pastures
in summer and clover hsy in winter.
There has been a sentiment Of this kind
growing up gradually OF late in Iowa, as
we'll as elsewhere, and this sentiment has
led 10 some experiment. Last autumn

clover (second crop), while it was yet

happiness of Gods creatures good TO see
how they enjoy feed of clover hay once
day. They pick out heads, leaves,
and small stocks, until there Is very little
of the clover lett--nothing, in fact, but
the coarsest stems.
My notion is, that hogs need more
roughness" and not 80 much solid
grain, just rs other kinds of farm stock.
Think of feeding horse or COW exclu-
sively on corn and water all winter, and
corn and water all summer too, for that
matter, as many feed their hogs. Could
they be expected to be healthy, breed
well, or nurse their Young well Until
we all get well supplied with srtichokes
at lesst), we would do fine thing for
our hogs TO provide them with plenty Of
nicely cured clover for winter.
My ssws are doing exceedingly well
this winter on their clover diet and about
tSo-thirds the usual feed of grain. For
