But the liquefaction Of these icy accu-

The custom of living in the. country du.
ring warm weatheris growing each sue
cessiye year. It is good custom and
should be followed by those whc have not
he habit now, until everybody becomes
capable Of approaching and enjoying rural
life. 1t is better 10 go into the country as
boarders than not to GO at all, but it is bet
ter for those who can to become interested
in some particular homestead or locality
and make their home there during each
summer. What is lost in variety Is more
than made by feeling of holaeliness and
familiarity with the beauties of particu-
lar neig hberhoed. There is more variety
in frequent removals from tenement to ten
ement and from place to place than in q
quiet life at the old ancestral homestead,
but who that has once enjoyed the comforts
and delights of permanent home would
exchange thpnfor the gayeties of rowing
life? It is well totravel- for observation and
breadth ofview, but the real work of lite OF
each indi vidusl is usually done In his own
country and near or In his own home The
true lover of nature. always finds enough to
interest him In his own neighborhood.

that eternal Sabbath that shall be enjoyed
after the week of life's labor Is ended
May it dawn upon as all in unfading splen-

reflection. Let all hearts be uplifted in
grateful praise to Him who made the Sab

cies that are daily received. And what

amen when You sum up the accounts Are
the moments of each day filled up and
beautifed with the fruits of honest dealings
and thoughtfulness-with the flowers of
kindly greetings and sweet charities
Or, are there thorns of treachery and

agony; flowers, that no touch can ever revive
again, to remind you of fellow-travelers
neglected, and leaves, without fruit, to
recall opportunities forever lost? EEg 81

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Thorough Preparation for Wheat.

Thorouph preparation for Wneat.
A fallow is the best preparation
for wheat, especially on clay soil or
land infested by weeds. But 1t is
thought to require too much labor,
so stubble is turned down. An i'm
provement here can be made, as
practice has demonstrated, by first
using the cultivator so as to get
mellow soil to turn down. This is
best done after a rain, when the
ground works up fine. Plow and
let it lie for several weeks, thus CIV
ing a chance for heat and air to act
on the soil, working occasionally
with harrow and roller, preceded
by the cultivator if required. In
this way the soil throughout be-
comes fine and of equal texture,
and is especially favorable to fall
growth, giving the wheat a good
start. If the soil lacks fertility a
coat of manure applied after sowing
will supply the necessary enrich
ment, and the action of the manure
on the soil develops new plant food,
aided by heat and moisture. In
such case the manure should be fine
and we'll rotted so as to mix well
with the surface soil. This prepar
alton is almost equal to following,
and is certain to establish the crop
well and secure a good catch if
grass seed is sown. Turning down
mellow soil is not sufficiently con-
sidered, In a fallow we get it;
also in replowing fall plowed land.
The best crop / ever knew was
where the soil was deeply fined and
deeply turned under, the surface
MANFRED and thoroughly worked.
And it is the same with wheat,
which needs depth. Merely scratch
ing the surface with the harrow,
however fine it may make it, favors
vegetation only a little and in the
start. Besides the thin coating of
mellow soil is poor mulch and
soon gets packed, making a solid
body of earth incapable of with
standing drouth. This fined, the
case Is entirely different. Moisture
is now retained and the roots have
free play. In preparing the ground
thus for wheat it has been found
that the roller is of important ser
vice. 1t gives greater density to
the soil without packing it too
much, leaving it so that air and wa
ter readily penetrate it. This treat
ment also lessons the weeds. Clay
soil is more particularly benefited
by it.

Hints to Young Writers,

William Cullen Bryant once gave
the following sens. BILE advice to a
young man WHO had offered him an
article for the Evening Post.
"My young friend, l observe that
you have used several French ex-
pressions in your letter. 1 think,
if you will study the English Ian
guage that you will find it capable
of expressing all the ideas that
you have. 1 have always found it
so, and in all that have written l
o not recollect an instance where
was tempted to use foreign
word, but that, on searching l have
found better one in my own Ian
guage. Be simple, unaffected; be
honest in your speaking and writ
ing. Never use a long word when
short one will do as well.
Call a spade by its name, not a
well known oblong instrument of
manual labor; let home be home
and not a residence; place not
locality, and so on of the rest.
When a short word will do you al
ways lose by long one. You lose
in clearness; you lose in honest eX-
preston Of meaning, and in the es-
timation of all men who are capable
of judging, you lose in reputation
for ability.
The only true way to shine, even
in this false world is to be unas
Stunning and modest. Falsehood
may be a thick crust but in the
course of time truth will find place
to break through. Elegance of Ian
guage may not be in the power of
us all, but simplicity and straight
forwardness are.
Write much as you would speak,
and as you think. If with your in
ferior, speak, and no coarser than
usual; if with your superiors, speak
no finer. Be what you say, and
within the rules of prudence.
No man was ever gamer by sim
gularity Of words or in pronuncia
ton. The truly wise man will so
speak that one will observe how he
speaks. A man may show great
knowledge of chemistry by carry
bladders of strange gases to
breathe; but one will enjoy better
health and find more time for bust
ness who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked:
"After you have written an article,
take your pen and strike out half
the words, and you will be sur
prised to see how much stronger it
is"

A Curious Piece Of Horse Flesh

Recently farmer named Snyder
brought a curiously afflicted animal
into Marion. The animal is desti.
tute of hair, except the tail, which
is unusually black and luxuriant
Last winter the critter was afflicted
with an eruptive disease known
among country farriers as "yaller
water" but among more scientific
veterinary surgeons as humid exam
thema. This malady caused the
complete destruction of the hair
bulbs, and the animal began rapidly
to shed, leaving the body as stated
above. The skin is remarkably
smooth, glossy and of leaden col
or. The horse was originally a
roam. He is sixteen hands high, in
good condition and works regularly
on his owners farm. Snyder be
came Disguised with the appearance
of the quadruped, and brought him
here to dispose of him. Early in
the day he would have taken $50,
but before night he returned to his
home refusing $500. The old gen.
tleman will await the arrival Of sew
eral circuses billed here for this
when he hopes to dispose of
his horse at a much larger sum.

1 was rather amused the other
evening, when one of my neighboFs
came in just as as 1 was preparing
to make mush in way which was
so different from hers that she
staid to see me make it. 1 put the
kettle on, pouring the boiling water
from the tea kettle, which l previ-
ously filled for the purpose; sailed
the water. and taking my pan OF
cornmeal which l had stirred. to so
thick a batter with cold water that
it would just pour, using about half
as much meal as l wished mush.
poured it IN slowly, stirring the
while; it became too thick, so /
added water from the kettle, little
at time. Having a good fire, the
water had scarcely stopped boiling,
and in about fifteen minutes l set
up the kettle, riI sed some dishes in
cold water, so the mush would not
stick, and took it up done and not
a lump in it. My visitor thought
it was done neatly and easily, and
she said she would go home and
try my plan.
