Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Clover on Meadows.

Many Farmers in this vicinity
have meadows entirely seeded with
timothy, and on inquiring l find
their yield was but little over half
as much as those seeded with both
timothy and red clover. When the
hay was taken off, the meadow
looked brown and bare, while those
seeded with clover at once put on a
lively green. My experience proves
that where the two are mixed the
timothy is fine and the hay is easily
handled while timothy alone grows
coarse and stiff and Is hard to
pitch Meadows seeded With both
grasses, improve from year to year
while those seeded With timothy
alone soon become sod bound and
have to be plowed up. II the timo
thy is cut after the seed begins to
fall the meadow is worthless for
fall pasture.
Again, pastures are seeded down
with red clover and timothy and af-
ter they are we'll set, nature is left
to take its course. In three or
four years the red clover has died
out and white clover and blue grass
taken its place. A pasture should
be well seeded with red Glove every
other year, and sown without being
hulled if possible. The hull holds
the moisture and helps the seed to
terminate. 1t can be sown any
time in the winter, but it is better
sown on a light snow in March.
Farmers should look into this clio
yer business closer.

the experience of multituaes who
have lost positions of emolument
and trust by Sinking duties and re-
sponsibilities devolving upon them.
They saw their mistake after it was
too late. 1t is bad sign to see a
young man contracting the habit of
sinking. You may set it down at
once that sooner or later he will be
a drone in the great hive of human
industry, living without any pur-
pose in life and scorned by all who
have willing hands. and follow up
whatever they can find to do.
Young men, if you want to gain the
confidence and esteem of your en-
ployer, never shirk from duty. If
overtasked. lay in your complaints,
and you will always get hearing.
If you b3gin life shirk. you may
set 1t down as a fixed fact that the
habit will follow you through life,
and instead of a success, you will
be an cutter failure"

Money No Objection.

A young lady was recently asked
if she thought money an objection
to a manageable young man, pro
vided he was pleasant and agreeable
in all other respects, to which she
replied about as follows.
"Well, no. l don't know as I'd
marry for money alone, but if a
man had plenty of money allied to
a sweet disposition, and a nous
tache that curled at both ends, and
nice blue eyes and a respectable
profession and his father was rlcn,
and his mother and sisters were arts
tocratic, and he wanted to marry
me and would promise to let me
have my own way in everything, and
keep me literally supplied with
coin. and have nice furnished
house and a big piano in it, and
would give me two diamond rings
and would pay my dry goods. mil
liners and dress makers. bills with
out grumblIng, and l really and tru-
ly loved him wouldn't consider
his money any drawback to the
match. ="

Business Affairs.

A careless business man is NOR
ally unsound. Show me a man who
never pays his notes when they arc
due, and shuns the payment of his
bills when it is possible, and does
both things as habit, and / shall
see a man whose moral character is
beyond all question, bad. We have
had illustrious examples of this
lack of business eXactness. We
had great men whose business hab
its were simply scandalous-who
never paid their bills unless urged
and worried, and who expended for
their personal qualification every
cent of money they could lay their
hands upon. These delineuencies
have been apologized for as amcng
the eccentricities of genius, or as
manufactures of small affails which
naturally attends all greatness of
intellect and intellectual effort; but
the world has been too easy with
them altogether. No matter how
many amiable and praiseworthy
traits of character such men pos
sessed, they we're dishonest and un-
trustworthy in their business rela-
tions, and that simple fact con-
dennis them. am ready to be-
lieve any bad of man who habitu-
ally neglects TO fulfil his business
Obligations. Such a man is GER
tainly rotten at heart and does not
deserve respect Exchange.

Fruit.

No farmer need expect to gather
fruit many seasons without manur
ing the orchard well. This point
is often overlooked. Every third
year a good coat of barn yard man
ure should be applied. Bone dust
and ashes are excellent. In West
ern New York it is the habit to
feed trees we'll; here we starve
them, and the result is New York
supplies our great markets with
fruit when we ought to do it our
selyes. Several times a year we
unfold to our readers the great Sc
cret of large fruit crops-manure
and we shall keep on in that line if
it takes a life time. Apples at
three dollars barrel and pears at
six are more profitable than milk at
two cents a quart, butter at twenty
cents pound, or corn at fifty cents
a bushel.

Our Young People
MADE UP. FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
The Dignity Of Work.

There is a perennial nobleness
and even sacredness, in work. Were
he ever so benighted, forgetful o.
his high calling, there is always
hope IN a man that actually and
earnestly works; in idleness alone
is there perpetual despair. Work,
ever so mammonish, mean, is in
communication with nature; the
real desire to get work done will 1t
self lead one more and more to
truth, to natures appointments and
regulations which are truth.
All true work is sacred. In all
true work, were it but true hand
labor, there is something of divine
ness. Labor, wide as the earth, has
its summit in heaven. Sweat of the
brow; and up from that to sweat OF
the brain, sweat of the heart, which
includes all Kepler calculations,
Newton meditations, all sciences,
all spoken epics, all acted heioism,
martyrdOm-up to that "agony OF
bloody sweat" which all men have
called divine! Oh, brother, if this
is net worship" then l say the
more pity for worship; for this is
the noblest thing yet discovered un-
der Gods sky.
Who art thou that complainest of
thy life of toll? Complain not.
Look up, my wearied brother; see
thy fellow-workman there in Gods
eternity, surviving there, they alone
surviving; sacred band of the i'm
mortals, celestial body guard of the
empire of mind. Even in the weak
human memory they survive 50
long, as saints, as heroes, as gods;
they alone surviving; peopling, they
alone, the i.nmeasured solitndes of
time! To thee Heaven, though Sc
we're, is not unkind: Heaven is kind
as a noble mother; as that Spar
tan mother, saying while she gave
her son his shield, with it, my
son, or upon itp' Thou, too, shalt
return home, in honor TO thy far
distant home, in honor; doubt it
Motif In the battle thou keep thy
shield Thou in the eternities and
deepest death kingdoms, art not an
alien; thou everywhere art deni
zen! Complain not; the very Spar
tans did not complain Selected.

The Children.

No home with young children in
it should he without its children
hour" The hour after supper can
not be better used to advantage, even
by father and mother, than to give
it up to "getting acquainted with
the children" Play with them, if
that is their mood. What zest it
gives to the merriment if papa
shares, or better yet, causes it. Or
if stories or quieter games are de-
sired, how happy and profitable
may be the hour spent around the
table. And then what a nice time
for the little knowledge cleaners to
ask questions, knowing that they
will not be put off by pre-occupa
tion or the plea of lack of time.
The children will grow away from
parents wonderfully fast if there are
none o. these sympathetic bonds to
hold them together. If you cannot
spare more time, mothers, take off
little part OF the hour, and reserve
it to accompany the little ones to
bed. Little five year-old Charlie
will get a composure and happiness
which will launch them into sweet
sleep from chapter read after they
are snug y put away in their little
cribs. Scarcely anything will ex-
tenuate sending children to bed
grieved or unhappy or angry. Pa
thence is hard; childish freaks and
outbreaks, and even the exuberance
of the blessed healthful spirits are
trying; but coldness, petulence, self
ishness, and unhappiness are worse

The experiment has been made
of sowing oats and wheat tog ether
with view to obtaining a winter
covering for the wheat. The seed,
in proportions of one part of oats
to two parts of wheat was sown in
the fall and the oats sprang up
quickly and were killed by the ear
ly frost, the stalks and leaves lying
on the ground all winter, keeping
the snow from blowing away and
preventing the sun from thawing
the ground. In tie spring the
dead oats made a good top dressing
for the growing wheat. The crop
of wheat secured on the following
season was reported to be excellent,
while wheat on adjoining land
sown in the usual manner was of
no value Scribner for September.
Rural World: The taxation of
the farmers lands, and of his crops

all the sales they had made during
the entire year on all the goods
they had handled? And yet one is

A woMAN's FAITH.

Across the miles that stretch between,
Through days of gloom or glad sunlight,
There shines q face l have not seen,
That yet doth make my whole world bright.
He may be near-he may be far;
How near, how far l cannot zee;
But, faithful as the morning star,
he yet shall rise and come to me.
What though Fate leads us separate waysF
The world is round and time is fleet;
journey of few brief days,
And face to face we two shall meet
Shall meet beneath Gods arching skies,
While suns shall blaze or stars shall CLEAN,
And looking IN each others eyes,
Shall hold the past but as dream.
And round, and perfect, and complete,
Lite, like a star, shall climb the height,
As We two press with willing feet,
Together, toward the Infinite.
And still behind the space between,
As back of dawns the unbeams play,
There shines the face l have not seen,
Whose smile shall wake my world to-day.

Mutton.

The cheapest meat for the farmer
is mutton. 1t may safely be SAID
to cost nothing, as the fleece from
the sheep of good breed will amp
ly pay for its keeping. Then, for
additional profit, there Is lamb or
two, the pelt of the animal if killed
at home, the excellent manure from
its droppings, and the ridance of
the pastures from weeds, to which
sheep are destructive foes. With
the exception of poultry, mutton is
also the most convenient meat for
the farmer. A sheep is easily kill
ed and dressed in an hour, in
the warmest weather it can be read,
lily disposed of before it spoils.
Science and experience both de-
clare it the healthiest kind of meat,
and a foolish prejudice alone pre-
fers pork, whether fresh or salt. is
the unhealthiest of all. When peo-
pie gain more wisdom, farmers will
keep more sheep. = Elk.

When a farmer tries to dispose
of his crops and finds there are 9th
ers trying to do likewise, and the
buyers DESTROYS of getting the ut
most for their money, he usually
finds, in order to make a sale, he
will have to reduce his price
When the affairs of nation have
reahed this stage, when there are
no prospects of higher prices, the
progressive farmer will try TO do
better HIMSELF; he will curtaiI his
expenses so as to raise cheaper
crops; will cultivate more area so
as to have large sales, though small
profit from each acre; he will get
books and papers that will give him
useful information about his bust
ness; he will try to find some crop
and market where he can sell at a
good price without much competi-
ton. The sluggish farmer will take
things as they come and cry hard
times, and in the race of life will be
left behind. 1t is by overcoming
difficulties and embracing Opportu-
mites, in nick of time, when pre-
sented, that a person is successful.
