Upon the Grandin farm, as it is called,
upon the Red river, thlrty-ive miles
north Of here, will be sown, this spring,
5000 acres OF wheat, requiring machin-
cry in proportion to the Cass-Cheney
farm. The product Of this farm, last
August, was 1850 bushels from 1900
acres-being an average OF little over
twenty-four bushels. This farm en-
braces $4,000 acres.
Threshing is done from the shock.
Each harvester is calculated to cut
twelve acres per day, and it is intended
that harvesting will be all completed in
twelve days from the time Of commence
ment, when the grain is Immediately
threshed and sent to Duluth, on it's way
to New York. AS soon as harvesting is
over, the stubble-ground is Immediately
plowed for the following spring sowing,
together with the new ground broken in
May and June previously-when the
hands are discharged, the tools stored,
and all expenses, except the keeping of
the stock through the winter, are
stopped. Work, in this country, is
usually commenced the fore part of
April, and ended the fore part of Noyem-
bor-making season OF about seven
months. Mr.. Dalrymple is interested in
both of these farms, and they are both
run under his direction and supervision.
Notwithstanding these gentlemen
broke ground in this valley only two
years since, I am reliably informed that
their crops of 1876 and 1877 have fully
reimbursed them for their outlay for
land, outfit and cost of culture, up to
and including the harvesting of the crop
of 1877. This shows the remunerative
character of this kind of investment

THE OLD CLOCK.


Oh. the old. old clock. OF the household stock.
Was the brightest thing and neatest:
Its hands, though old, had touch of gold
And its chimes rang still the sweetest.
Twas monitor, though its words were few.
Yet they lived, though nations altered:
And its voice, still strong. warned old aud younp
When the voice of friendship faltered
Tick. tick, it said-"quick, quick to bed,
For ten I've given warming
Up, up, and go, or else, you know,
You'll never rise soon in the morning.
q friendly voice was that old, old clock,
As it stood in the corner smiling.
And blessed the time with merry chime,
The winter hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was that tiresome clock,
AS it called at the daybreak boldly,
When The dawn looked gray on the misty wsy,
And the early air blew coldly;
. Tick tick" it said quick out of bed
For five I've given warning:
You'll never have health, you'u never get wealth
Unless you're up soon in the morning."
Still hourly the clock goes round and round.
With tone that ceases never:
While tears are shed for bright DAYS fed
And the old friends lost forever:
It's heart beats on, though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger:
Its hands still move though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer!
Tick, tick" it said-'' to the churchyard bed,
The grave hath given warning;
Up, up, and RISE and look to the skies,
And prepare for the heavenly morning."

Women sometimes think they will not

classics, just because they are standard

gent lady was telling me how surprised
she was to find Bacon's essays" SO in

the lounge in my husbands library one
evening, after an unusually wearisome
day, and took it up because it was the
nearest book, and I really felt as if I
could not go across the room for another.

it, and read for an hour with a sense of
freshness and exhilaration which I had
not known for long time. felt as if,
somehow, I had got back to the begin

learned, was, therefore, very dull, and

Sicilian Brigan1S.

The ransom originally demanded by
the bold brigands who, in January, car
ried off Signor Parish from the large
town OF Palermo, and from the neighbour
hood Of his fathers house, was $120, 900.
They kept him blindfol1ed eleven days
and nights in a dark hole or grotto, with
an armed brigand constantly watching
him; but he was well fed, and had good
cigar once day. When they found that
their demand was too great, they COM
promised and released him for 50, 900 in
gold and 1920 in bank notes; but, as
the numbers of the bank notes are known
at every bank in Sicily, they overreached
themselves in that matter.

During harvest-season there is said to
be no rain in this section Of the country.

Aunt Calista thanked him, without ex-

Half an hour later, her sister and

Born in 1894.

James James, or "Double Jimmy, !"
as he is more familiarly called, lives on
farm twelve miles south of Weather
ford, Parker county, Texas, with his
daughter, Mrs. Nancy Wheat, So years
of age. This old gentleman was born
near the Red House. in Prince William
county, Virginia, May 10, 1854. His
father resided ON a plantation near the
Potomac, adjoining Lawrence Washing
TOMS. Mr.. James has seen Washington
often at his fathers house. He and the
brothers were in the war of 1912. Mr..
James was a "iack of all trades as he
says he learned to be carpenter, brick
layer, stonemason, blacksmith, painter
and tinsmith. During bis long life he
has never been one month in bed with
sickness. Mr.. James was married in
Virginia soon after attaining his major
ity, and raised a family Of ten boys and
five girls. Leaving his native State
some years after the war, he settled in
Roam county, Tennessee. From that
place he moved to Lauderdale county,
Alabama, thence to White county, Ar
kansas, and in 1848 came to Dallas
county, Texas, IN his 84th year. He
continued his residence there until 1872,
when, in his 108th year, he selected, as
he says, Parker county to spend his old
days in. In his Tooth year he cultivated
an acre patch OF watermelons in Parker
county, and raised the finest brought to
market. He realized $l25 from this
crop. Mr.. James talks very well and
his hearing is pretty good. Galveston
