Happy Homes.

Few homes / think are what, under
Gods blessing, they should be. 1t re-
quires but little effort to make home
cheerful and happy. There should be
a deep and abiding love between hus-
band. and wife, parents and children,
and a. tender forbearance toward each
other faults. When these exist they can
not but be Edens of love; but, alas! how
often do we see it otherwise. The hus-
band who has taken a solemn VOW to
love and cherish, and the wife to love
and honor, are drifting slowly but sure
" apart. They do not understand each
other, though in name they have been
one for years. They have different con-
ceptions of each others duties and can
not act in concert. Instead of having q
quiet, loving talk, and trying to draw
near together, there are, perhaps. sharp
or cruel words and the breach widens.
Unhappiness follows and each lays the
burdens of faults on the others shoul-
ders. o, erring judges! do We not know
that "He who knoweth the thoughts
and intents of every heart" will not
thus iudge? First cast the beam out
of thine own eye and then 1halt thou
zee clearly to pull the mote out OF thy
brothers eyer I 2
The heart of woman is fragile thing
and few men understand it. 1t lives
and fiourishes in the sunlight of love,
but withers like the mimosa at the
touch of an angry frown or cruel
word. It cannot even thrive in the at
mosphere of indifference. How many
hearts are now struggling for existence
| in this sitting atmosphere. Only few
kind words would admit the sunshine.
An approving look or smile, simple
THANK you" for any service done
would amply repay the toll.
Husband! be ever courteous and re-
spectful to your wife; grant her little
requests, sometimes though at your own
convenience, and your self-sacrifice will
be rewarded = Remember It is your
prep98Ativsg to throw Around her the
bulwsrk OF. your love, andik should be
so deep and strong that no careless OF
cruel missile should ever enter its hal
lowed precincts but how often do you
trample upon this right, how often q
harsh or impatient word or tone which
is remembered by yop no longer than i
takes Won 70 1ktef. II Is q winged shaft
that strike6 and quivers IN loving
heart. Husbands. whose wives are moi
what you think they should be, who ap
pear 70 be fault finding and capricious
try different plan from that which YOU
: are now pursuing. Give them deeds o
. kindness and words os lcve, and see i
: your a. desert. will not soon rejoice ami
, blossom as the rose."-A Woman !,

Meadows.

The time for sowing grass seeds on
fall-sown grain fields is at hand, or near
ly so. There is generally some danger
attending too early sowing from an oc-
casiona freeze after the seed has
sprOuted-sometimes to the extent of
the entire loss of the seed. Timothy
will bear much harder freezing than
clover. The latter is rather tender
when it first appears, having the future
plant enclosed between the single pair
of seed leaves, and if severely frozen is
apt to be killed outright. We would
caution farmers against allowing the
mild weather of this month to urge
them on to SOW such seeds prematureIy,
as we may have weather yet to come
that would be fatal to the young plants.
We would urge upon farmers the
more extended use of clover as forage
crop, also as renOvatOr of the soil. A
mixture of One-feurth clover in meadow
will increase the yield of hay fully one
third, and, if cut at the proper time and
carefully cured, will be more valuable
to feed than clear timothy. Stock of
all kinds will relish a mixture of clover
in their hay better than they will clear
oiuloCAys auu OCAuS d ullu AdAd1lVo IL
will keep them in healthier condition.
A meadow with a mixture of clover
should be cut when the clover blossoms
begin to turn brown, and after being
partially cured should never be exposed
to dews. Therefore the moving should
be done in the forenoon and again
toward evening when the sun has sunk
far enough down not to wilt the mowr
grass. That may be left to lie spread
until the next day, while what was cut
in the morning should be raked and
put into cock before the dew collects,
and should be spread out next day to
thoroughly dry before it is hauled to
the barn or stacked. We will insure a
prime article of hay if this course is
pursued. The increase in the yield of
hay is only part of the benefit from
growing clover. 1t fits the land for
large crops of grain to follow when the
land is again broken up. No domesti-
Gated plant draws so lightly from the
soil nor returns so much to it when
plowed under. We say again-sow
more clover. Huntington HaVkeye.
