less you have first conquered arithmetic.
Remember the duty which is of first
importance is the one which lies nearest.
Do you remember the legend OF the
man in pursuit of the four-leaf cloverP
When boy he was told that if he could
find four-leaf clover it would be to
him talisman of good fortune, and
with it in his possession success in any
undertaking was sure; so early in life
he started out to search for this little
token of good. He left his home and
friends to wander alone in this pursuit,
travelling across continents and oceans
in his search, but all in vain. At last,
a disappointed and WORKOUT old man,
he returned to the old homestead to
die; and as he tottered up the familiar
pathway, 10! close beside the doorstep
grew foHr-leaf clover. 1t may be that
your assurance of success lies hidden
between the leaves of the despiseG spell
er; it surely is somewhere among your
school books. Golden Rule.

Hay-making.

As the season of hay-making ap.
proaches, one of the prominent ques-
lions which arise is the best time to cut
the grass. This question should be de-
cided according to the best interest of
each individual farmer. Some varieties
of grass will bear earlier and more fire.
quent cutting than others, and seem to
do all the better, in series of years.
Grasses like timothy, which renews it
self by annual formation of bulbs, for
the best results of several seasons, must
be allowed to complete maturity and
perfect seed. Cutting down the stems
before the plant has come to maturity
shortens the life of the plant, as the
bulbs require certain amount of nutri-
ment to be returned from the stalk and
leaves, and this is always done after ma
turity-never before. The point indi-
eating completion of nutrition is indi-
Gated by dryness Of the stem near the
crown of the bulb. When these indica-
tions appear the seeds are fully devel-
oped, and ripen fully as the ripening of
the stem ascends. After this first APP
pearance cutting ceases to injure, for
the bulbs have received all necessary
nutriment for the renewal and prolonga-
ton of the plant. If the grass be cut
before thus matured nutrition is ar
rested, proper growth ceases, and an
effort to repair injury by sending out
small bulbs which produce only weak
and unhealthy stalks, and the plant
ultimately succumbs from drought, cold,
or other natural cause.
Timothy left to take its natural course
remains fresh and green during winter,
but this green portion should never be
severed by any close cutting or grazing,
or the life of the plant is sacrificed.
Most kinds of grasses are not injured so
easily, and may be cut at an earlier
stage without injury to the plants.
Grass cut when in full bloom makes as
good hay for feeding and fattening pur-
poses as at any stage, according to my
observation, if we except timothy; that
| have found most fattening when cut
after the maturity of the seed. The
proper curing and saving of hay is of as
much importance as the time of cutting,
for unless properly done it matters little
at what stage the grass is cut after the
seed stem shoots. For my part am in
favor of saving and storing hay in tight
barns in as green a state as is possible,
to save it and not have it blacken by
heating. To do this, little of the hot,
burning sun rays should be allowed on
it when spread after cutting. 1t will
surprise many old-style farmers how
green hay may be put in the NOW, in a
tight barn, when cut while the grass is
not wet, and thus cured.-Cor. Country
Gentleman.

Work and Play.

Don't loiter, boys and girls. When
you know what you ought to do, then
go about it promptly; and work at it
diligently, and finish it. Work first,
and rest atterward. Never dawdle. Is
there garden to be weeded, corn to be
hoed, hay to be raked, coal to be
brought up, an errand to be done,
lesson to be learned? make that the
first thing, and if possible, the only
thing, until il is inished- Your conn
fort and your success in life depend
very much upon the habits You form in
this matter.
You find some people who are always
saying they have SO much to do, and yet
they seem to accomplish very little.
They are not comfortable, and they are
not successful. Perhaps they have
letter to write; and they worry over it
every day for week, exhausting as
much strength in this useless worry and
"dread to 90 about it, each day as an
other would in writing and posting half
dozen letters. The successful men
railroad presidents, bankers, manufact-
urerS, merchants, farmers-are men who
have what we call executive ability, or
''dispatch." 1t is the power of forming
an accurate Judgment quickly, doing a
thing, or giving order for it, at once,
and then dismissing it from the mind,
so that the next thing may be taken up
and dispatched. The hours duties are
done in the sixty minutes, the day du-
ties within business hours; and then
the man may read, ride, talk, sleep,
rest, with mind free from care. If the
boys and girls manage their work thus,
then they will enjoy their play.-Schot-
ar S Conn dniOn.

Insects Killing Ihsec...

1t is often found that human interior
ence with the arrangements of animal
life does more harm than benefit. Many
time the destruction of birds as the
supposed foes of the farmer has left the
ground free for the worse devastationS
of unchecked insect life. In recent
article, commenting on some of Sir
John Lubbock's chronological observa-
tions, the writer says:
"While men have been devising
scientific schemes for the amelioraticn
of insect plaques, and fondly imagining
that upon ourselves has rested the bur-
den of keeping the animal world within
proper limits, the insects themselves
have taken the matter in hand aud
been actively carrying into effect the
plans and suggestions which, if left tC
us, would never have got beyond this
preliminary stages of consideration. In
the orchard the fruit farmer watches
with lamentation the depreciation of
the wasps among his plums, and his
children come crying to him with the
tale of their sufferings, how they pick.9.
up fallen pear and were stung ~
the wasp inside. Yet all this tine.
so naturalists tell us, there sra
wasps that sting wasps and hornets that
lie in wait among the tempting fruit to-
carry off or decapitate the smaller dep
redators. In the hot summer days flies
annoy US, but it is comfort to know
that whenever they sit down ON bushes
their enemies are on the watch for
them; that not only spiders catch and
eat them, but winged things of their
own kind devour them readily. The
cockroach is an abomination in kitch
en-, but if he ventures to walk abroad
the P0mpiIuS takes him by the nose.
and, having stung him senseless, drags
him away to some convenient chink
that serves it for a larder. The spiders
that creep about where they have no
business to be, and spin threads across
pathways, so as to catch the faces OF
passers-by, are constantly beset by fly
foes, who treat them with delightful
contempt, using their fat. round bodies
to lay their eggs in, and even stor-
ing them up like apples to feed the
young flies when they are hatched.
The caterpillars that destroy our
vegetables and work havoc in the
flower garden are not the irresponsible
tyrants that they seem, for they go in
mortal terror of their lives all day long,
not only from other caterpillarS that eat
them, but from a number of winged
creatures that take truculent delight
in their tender bodies. The beetle which
we call cockchafer, and which in
France does almost incredible damage,
has another beetle told off to it, whose
only duty is to hunt and kill it. The
wbeat-hy, snug though it thinks itself
tucked up inside the husks of the grain,
is found out by special fly whose
whole work in life is to lay its eggs
in the others body; and even the gall
flies inside their secret chambers, the
clover-hy hidden in the little flower,
and the wireworm under ground, are
each of them the particular objects of
pursuit and slaughter to appointed in
sects. To this complete chain of crime
and punishment man can add nothing,
but he can at any rate take the broad
hint which the insects give him, and
assist them to indulge their beneficial
appetites."

With gold watch in my pocket,
And close shave on my hair.

And marry Maggie Carr.

How jolly it would seem
I'd have a house of citron cake,
And Il lawn of lemon cream.

And eat at the first table
While the beefsteak was hot;

And keep dancing bearI

And call me "little dear;'
