NARROWING LAND.

says:
Of all the implements used on the farm
there is but one, the plow, that is as neces-
sary to good cultivation as the harrow. and.
as general thing, there is none that there
is so little account made of by farmers
Good plowing is of the greatest Importance
in preparing the soil for any crop, hut it is a
well known fact that there is too little good
plowing done in the West and, after poor
job of plowing has been done, a great deal
depends on our being thorough with the
harrow. This, also, we are little neeli-
gent about, especially in preparing the
land for corn. Our best planters do good
work where the land is smooth and well
pulverized, but we cannot expect them to
DO good work where the ground is in bad
condition. In my opinion, the principal
points of improvement made in harrows is
in the greater number of teeth now used.
This, more than any other one thing, is es-
sential, as the object is to work the sur
face
Most harrows in use have about 40 teeth.
and that is not enough. MY way is to have
the frame made of small-sized scantling,
and teeth not over 3 inches, and not less
than sixty of them. We do not expect to
work deep, and consequently a heavy frame

DRILLING BARLEY.

Whatever may be thought of the value of
drilling small grains generally, there is no
doubt Of the value OF drilling barley. If
the ground has been fail plowed so much
the better. Cross-plow lightly in the spring,
harrow fine, and drill across the blowing.
This will give you a chance to open the
drain burrows, as they were in the fall, and
facilitate carrying off surplus water.
Drilling saves seed, induces strong
growth of straw-an important matter
promotes uniform growth of head and
thus reduces the amount of light grains. II
the seed is of first quality, one and a half
bushels per acre is enough to be drilled. and
as good as three bushels sown broadcast.
Many farmers make a mistake in sowing
barley two early. 1t should be sown imme-
dlately after oats, and just before the time
OF sowing flax, and on fresh-worked land.
for the reason that after termination if
should not receive any serious check until
ripe. Ii two little seed is sow 4 insects NAV

A CLEVER THEFT.

TOHN RIDDEL was a young man in
" whom confidence was justly placed
by Messrs. Moonstone & Co., jewellers,
his employers, in whose establishment,
at the time we became acquainted with
him, he occupied the post of foreman.
He was not a "self-made man" as yet,
but he was on the road to it. For, as we
all know, Providence has still the ad-
vantage of priority in this particular, it
makes its man (such as he is) at a co M
paratively early date, W hereas, when a
man makes himself, he seldom accom-
plishes it before he is five-and-forty at the
very least-when, indeed, the other can
not be compared with him. John never
drank, except glass of beer with his
early dinner; he never smoked, nor of
course took snuff; he never handled any
thingin the shape of billiard cue, unless
it was his neatly and tightly rolled-up
umbrella he never-I was going to add
he had no weakness as regards the ladies,
but this hardly dare to write, because
of the extreme attention he paid to his
very fine head of hair. Why should
any man, not being Narcissus, take
such great pains with his hair, unless to
make an impression on the ladies'
Yet even here must hasten to do
John Riddel justice; it would have
shocked him to have supposed that he
had any general views in this direction.
He was not Don Juan, nor even a
gay Lothario; if he had any designs,
they would have been upon one lady
only, and by no means induced by any
fmeretricious attractions such as youth
or beauty; he would, in accordance
with precedent, have attached himself
to his masters daughter though she had
been twenty years older than himself, or
q black woman, or an albino. Unfor-
tunately, Mr.. Moonstone had only
uephews, whom our hero could not
marry, and who would, in all probabili-
ty, become partners in the concern be-
fore him. Still, he cultivated that fine
head of hair, narrowed it with a tur-
toise-sheIl comb, drove furrow straight
across it from his brow to the nape of his
neck and top-dressed it with macassel
oil and other unguents. 1t shone in the

Select Poetry.
A HEART CRY.

Little lost darling come back to mel
Lie in my arms as you used to do
Here is the place where your head should be;
Here is the bosom waiting for you
Let me but feel again on my breast
The velvet touch of your tiny hand;
Your rosy-leaf lips to my own close prest,
My cheek by your balmy breathings famed.
See here shut tight my weary eyes,
AS thousands of times I've done in play.
When l unclose them in soft surprise,
Ring out a laugh in your sweet old way
Come to me, come to me, precious one
/ am so heart-sick and sad and lorn;
Naked as nature without the sun,
Now that the light of my life has gone.
You sleep in the churchyard all alone,
No one to watch by your narrow bed
The wind o'er your tender body blown,
And night-dews dripped on your baby-head.
No In the luminous fields above,
Angels another new star have set,
They may surround you with ceaseless love,
Shield you from sorrow and sinning-yet
Heaven can not need you so much as
Legions of cherubs it had before.
Baby, my baby, why did you die?
Come to your mother, my own, once more
Little lost darling, come back to me
Lie in my arms as you used to do!
Here is the place where your head should be
Here on the bosom waiting for you

Thomas Crane, lad aged fifteen years, who
lives near Dry Greek, was hauling pickets,
and on coming through Cranes canyon to-
wards Dry Greek, saw what he took to be a
wild cat sitting on log. He returned home,
got his rifle, and crept through the willows to
within forty yards of the object and fired.

proved to be an old Indian, who was peeling
cark from the log. The bullet struck him in
the face, causing fearful wound. From DIR.

The erection of statue to Thomas Paine
in St. Louis, Missouri, is bitterly opposed by
the churchmen. Bishop Cox characterizes this
honor to the memory of distinguished citi-
zen, who battled for the {" rights of man in

in the New York Independent: Here is an
epoch in the history of fanaticism. There
have been worshippers, and calf-wor-
shippers and snake worshippers. 1t is left for
the atheists on the shores of the Mississippi
to out Herod the superstitions of the Nile; to
set up hyena and cry: "Such be thy gods,

atheist; but he was morally, hyena His
