THINGS that PAY.-There are
two things that always pay even in
this not oyer remzneratiYe exist
ence. They are working and wait
ing. Either is useless without the
other. Both united are invincible,
and Inevitably triumphant. He who
warts without working is simply 8
man yielding to sloth and despair.
He who works without waiting Ia
titful in his sfrivings and misses re-
suits by impotence. He who works
steadily and waits patiently may
have a long journey before him, bui
at the close he will find his reward.

Having cleared a piece of new
land last summer, for winter wheat
selected about an acre for one
OF the piece. shovel-plowed it thor
oughly and narrowed il, then sowed
it to turnips. For blowing new
land we use strong shoyel-plOw
made for the purpose with a round
pointed coulter attached to the point
of the shovel. SO that when il strikes
q root it will pass over and not
catch. The soil was loan, and
somewhat dry, being a beech and
maple ridge, The seed was sown
about the middle of June. broad
cast, aud narrowed in among the
stumps. receiving no further care
until pulling time.
A neighbor harvested the crop on
shares, / furnished man and team to
haul it into the cellar. My share
measured fourteen two-horse wagon
loads, which we call $50 bushels his

land was shovel-plowed, and is ready
to show to spring wheat. so, although

SOdding and Seeding.

A great deal of hard work is the
cost of q little ignorance upon sim
pie matter very often. Within sight
of the writer's desk q man is cartIng
a great amount of sand up a steep
sand hill TO make a smooth plat Of
lawn. The ground has been thor
oughly prepared and is as smooth as
a floor. At large expense this will
in few days be covered with green
turf. which will need q good deal OF
care, should an early drouth come
next season, TO keep it alive and
green.
A half hours work and a liberal
sprinkIing Of grass seen-make Of
an equal mixture of Kentucky blue
grass and red top, would accomplish
the aim of getting . smooth, green
lawn in the same time, and there
would be less danger Of an uneven
surface and bare spots. June grass
is as natural to this soil as weeds.
aud cannot help but grow, and why
people will persist in wasting so
much time and money in the labori-
Gus work Of digging, carrying and
laying sOds is well nigh iRexplicable.
In case the ground is seeded, good
heavy roller should go over it every
few days after the grass is well up
in the spring. and any inequalities OF
surface may by uneven sitting Of the
loose soil can be remedied after the
grass is we'll up by putting on in the
low spots here and there a little
sand. The grass will soon spring
through it, and in this way the most
beautiful turf can be made at CON-
Paratively small expense, and re-
quiring but fraction of the skill and
ingenuity needed to lay sod nicely.
