Renting a Farm on Shares.

A, B. c. writes as follows "Do you think can afford to take farm on the following conditions |? I furnish horses, harness and wagons, part of farm inn plements, provide one-half of needed new ones, pay one-half of the re- pairs on implements, furnish one-half of stock and seed, pay one-half of real estate tax, furnish hay and grain for 8 horse and COW not kept on the farm and feed for chickens am allowed no poul- try except eight hens, build all needed new fences, many of the fences being in bad condition, and repair others, furnish half of nails for all repairs, dig and lay all needed tile drains, pay for drawing milk to factory, and it is strongly inti- mated that if I stay any length of time I will be required to draw stone for eel lar wall and get out timber tor new sugar-house. I am to have one-hali that is made. I think these terms rather hard. If you think so please give what you think would be fair terms.''
 RepW.--As renting farms is becoming more common than heretofore, discus. sion of the question of amount of rent als is very necessary. In this case the terms seem to be altogether too burden some. The usual basis of rents is one third of the crop for the land, one-thirc for the stock and tools, and one-t third fol the labor. When the tenant finds hal the stock, tools and seed, and pays hal the taxes and cost of repairs, the pro duct is divided equally. This is just because half the stock, tools, etc., be long to the tenant, and the third whicl this should draw from the crops should go to him, leaving one and 8 half third or three-sixths, or one-half precisely, fo each party. But all the other addition mentioned ought justly to be paid by tn owner, or at least be subject to specia conditions, because the tenant might ge no benefit at all from them unless hi lease should be long one. If he coul enjoy the profit from them for 8 suffi cient time, he could afford to be at tn cost, but not otherwise.

The True wife.

Ofttimes l have seen tall ship glide by against the tide as if drawn by some invisible bowline, with hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails thrilled. her streamers were dropping, she had neither side-wheel nor stern wheel, still ehe moved on stately, in serene triumph, as with her own life. But I knew that on the other side of the ship, hidden be- heath the great bulk that swam so ma jestically, there was a little toilsome steam-tug, with heart of fire and arms of iron, that was tugging it bravely on and I knew that if the little steam-tug untwined her arms and left the ship, il would wallow and roll about and drift hither and thither, and go off with the rehnent tide, no man knows wbither. And so I have known more than one genius, bigh-decked, full-freighted, idle sailed, gay-pennoned, but that for the bare, toiling arms and brave, warm-beat. ing heart of the faithful little wife that nestles close to him so that no wind ol wave could part them, he would have gone down with the stream, and have been heard of no more.-OaUer We'adeI HOLs7leS

The Winner of St. Leger.
IRoQUoIs, THE NOTED AMERICAN HORSE,
 AND HIS HISTORY.

Iroquois, the first American winner of the Derby and St. Leger, is 8 son of bennington, dam Maggie B. B., by Australian. 1roquois is 8 magnificent brown colt with a white stripe down his face and white around the coronet of the left fore foot. His shoulders are full of power, and he has great sweep and strength in his hindquarters. This famous colt was bred by MT. Aristides Welch, of Chestnut Hill, Pa. Leaning. ton, the sire of Iroquois, was 8 grand racehorse, and Maggie B. B., the dam of Iroquois, was 8 fine race mare.
 The first St. Leger was run in 1776. It has become the second prominent event on the English turf. Iroquois is the tenth Derby winner who has been successful in the St. Leger.
 Iroquois was sent to England when a yearling. Standing the voyage better than most of his stable companions, he was put into early training. While 8 two-year old his career was checkered. He started twelve times, winning four races. He made his first appearance on race course in England, May 12, 1880, winning the Newmarket Two-year-old plate, five furlongs. He next faced the starter in the Woodcote Stakes at the Epson meeting, May 25, but did not gain place. The next day he won the Two-year-old Stakes, carrying 125 pounds, five furlongs. At Ascot, June 10, he was out of form, and failed to get a place in the New Stakes. On July 6, at Newmarket, he was beaten by the fa- vorite, Bal Gal, by head, for the July Stakes. On July he captured the Chesterfield Stakes from 8 fine field of English flyers; but two weeks later he was unable to secure place in the great Kingston two-year-old plate. He won the Levant Stakes the following week, running second for the Findon Stakes on tha Same day. At Doncaster, Sept. IA, he ran unplaced in the scram- ble for the Champagne Stakes, and also failed to gain 8 place in the Hopeful Stakes, at Newmarket, Sept. 28. His last race in the season of 1880 was for the Clearwell Stakes, at Newmarket, Oct. II. His number failed to appear among the first three.
 This year his career will go into his tory with the kings of the turf. In his first race of the season, May 4, he ran second to the favorite, Peregrin, for the Two Thousand Guineas, at Newmarket. On May 6 he won the Newmarket Stakes from Lord Falmouth's Lennox- love. May IF, at Newmarket, he had a walk-ov for the Barwell Stakes. On June 1, at Epson, he won the great Derby Stakes, valued at 95, 300, beating Peregrine, Town Moor, Don Fulano, Marshal Mcdonald, and ten others. On June IA he won the Prince of Wales Stakes for three-year- odds, valued al e2, 800, beating Geologist and five others. On June 16 he beat Count La Grange's Leon for the St. James's Palace Stakes. The money value of the St. Leger, which he won, is about 1928, 1000.

CrOquet.

The HaaOkeye man says he sat at the window and watched party of young men and maidens playing croquet. He says:-In fifteen minutes we saw two persons cheat successfully. We heard the one player who did not cheat &C., cused of cheating five times. We heard four distinct bitter quarrels. We heard a beautiful young lady tell two lies and 8 meek-looking young man three, and finally we saw the young girl throw her m allet against the fence so hard that it frightened horse; the other young glrl pounded her mallet so hard on the ground that it knocked the buds off an apple tree; they both banged into the house at different doors, and the two young men looked sheepish and went off after drink.

HE was a grave and reverend college professor. and he was enjoying the air on one of the wharves. Do you catch many mackerel this year2'' he asked of hardy fisherman. "Well,' the son of Neptune replied, "we seine some." "Pardon, young man," ex- claimed the man of letters, "you mean we saw some." "Not by a hornful, '' replied the fisherman. "Who ever heard of saving fish? We split 'em, sir, we split 'em, but we never saw 'em. '' The man from the college seemed mys- tified. He turned away and sighed at the ignorance of the times.
