And faltered not for the day;
He felt from the north frost-wind blow,
And the path of the was gray,
And the wheat birds whistle he heard from the bougf
And he knew that the weevil oft followed the ploW
He bent his lowly form TO the task,
Relieving his labor prayer;
So he Nodded the pace of a cheerful man,
Preparing his ground with care;
whistled and plOdded then cast amain
For the harvest hour the seeding grain.
A farmer sat in his cottage door,
Noddng a nOon-tide nap,
And the whitened wheat across the way
Waved on the meadows lap;
With heavy heads, in slumbering haze
The stalks bent down in the August days
As the farmer dozed, he dreamed and smiled
For his waved on his eye;
And then the clink Of the reapers he heard
And his stacks and his mows swelled high:
And over his cheek soft tear crept
For the joy he felt as he nodded and siept
He woke, in the haze of the hot afternoon
In health was he bent to the snath
And over the field the gavels stretched
In many winding path;
The vision he saw had Iightened his task
And he learned that to pray ia labor should ask.

SADDLE HORSES AND SADDLE CATS

There is an increasing demand of late for good
saddle horses, and many of the fairs this season
are paying much more attention than formerly
to this class. The Chicago fair especially is civ
ing great prominence to saddle horses in it's Dre-
MUM list, which may be taken as something of
an indication of the drift of popular demand.
The gaits that especially commend a horse for
use in the saddle are, the acaM, the tor trot the
single foot, and the rack The walk is gait un-
derstood by everybody; but everybody does not
understand that good saddle horse ought to be
able to go square walk at the rate of five miles
an hour The fox trOt is faster than the square
walk, and the horse will usually take few steps
at this gait when changing from fast walk to a
trOt. 1t may be easily taught to most horses by
urging them slightly beyond their ordinary walk
ing speed, and when they strike the fox trot stem
holding them to it. They will soon learn TO like
it, and it is one of the easiest of gaits for both
horse and rider. The single foot differs somewhat
from the fox trOt, and has been described as ex-
actly intermediate between the true trot and true
walk. Each foot appears to move independentlv of
the other, with sort of pt-a-pat, e-at-a-time
notion and it is much faster gait than the fox
trot. The rack is very nearly allied to the true
pacing gait, the difference being that in the latter
the hind foot keeps exact time with the fore foot
of the same side, making it what has been called
a literal or one-side-at-a-time motion, while in
the former the hind foot touches the ground
slightly IN advance OF the fore foot on the same
side. The rack Is not so fast gait as true pace
but 1t is a very desirable gait in a saddle-borse
In addition, the perfect saddle horse should be
able to trot, pace, and gallop and should be
quick, nervous and elastic in all his motions
without particle of dulness or sluggishness in
his nature. His mouth should be sensitive and
he should respond instantly to the slightest mo-
ton Of the rein in the hands of the rider moor
and clumsy rider, however, will soon snoiI the
best-trained saddle-horse in the world, and such
a person should never be permitted to mount q
horse that is exceptionally valuable for that pur
pose. A plug" horse and a "plug" rider NAV
well go together, but keep really good, we'll |
trained saddle-hOrse for one who knows how to
enjoy this most health giving, exhilaratine and
delightful of outdoor exercises.

tul during early spring is naturally spreading,
struggling growing plant, with constant ten
dency to send forth strong willow like shoots
from the base this and plants of similar habit
should be occasionally looked at during growth,
and the Joints of such strong growths plnched or
broken off when about eighteen inches in length,
which will induce them to form numerous side
branches or shoots and by this means they can
be formed into massive, well formed plants
Deutzia sc0brG and Deutzia crendfd are much I'M
proved in beauty of both foliage and flowers
by thinning out most of the old wood, after
it has lowered, which allows space for the
young growths to develop; the double flower
ing form of d. crenata is one of the finest
shrubs that we possess. These plants should be
treated, so far as regards pruning, in a somewhat
similar way to that of the raspberry,-old shoots
removed and young ones encouraged. The beauty
of isolated plants on q lawn depends much upon
their shape and regularity of branches; the
lower branches should spread so as to nearly
meet the grass and cover the lowermost stems,
thus presenting an appearance of well-formed
mass of vigorous foliage
In shTubbery borders or beds, where individual
beauty Of plants is comparatively lost, and where
only general Elassiveness of growth is the OBJ

foliage, and tend towards keeping the plants ia

RAPID GROWTH OF VEGETABLES IN NORWAY.
The influence Of the long duration of light
during the summer month is we'll exemplfied in
the growth ofvegetables in the higher latitudes in
Norway. At 20 degrees north, it was found that
ordinary peas grew at the rate of 81 inches in
twenty-four hours for many days in summer, and
that some of tke cereals also grew as much as q
inches in the same time Not only is the rapid
ity OF growth affected by the constant presence
of light, but these vegetable secretiens which
owe their existence to the influence of atomic
force on the leaves, are also produced in far
greater quantity than in more southern climates:
hence the coloriEg matter and pigment cells are
found in much greater quantity, and the tint of
the coioEed parts of vegetables is consequently
deeper. The same remark applies to the flavor
ing and odoriterosls matters, SO that the fruits
et the north of Norway, though not equal in sac
cIlarine properties, are far more intense in flavor
tk an those of the solth.-Dr Mueller.

WHEAT.-The following remarks are taken
ffem an admirable little work entitled "Wheat
Culture How to double the yield and increase
the profits" by Col. D. S. Curtiss Washington
DC.
We will here sum up in brief, the process or
requisites essential to produce increased Weld of
wheat and continued good crops, as follows:
/. Perfect drainage, by both under drains and
surface bitches, as shall be found necessary to
prevent stagnant water in the sub-soil or any
standing water on the surface for apy lenptb of
time after the tkawing of ice and snow, or after
heavy showers.
I'd. Deep cuHi0a&ion, by slb-soil plowins or
trenching at least twelve or fifteen inches deep.
ia order that plant roots may run deeplv for
sustenance, and alse, that moisture NAV rise
FROM below to the surface in seasons of drouobt
Sd Alkatiae matter. The soil needs q liberal
supply of ashes, lime, or other substances Of
alkaline properties and also salt A two-fold
benefit is caused by these ingredients in the soil
namely: they aid largely in dissolvine the silica
(or flint, and they are, to a considerable extent
preventlyes to ragages of insects and of Diseases
especially the salt, which is effective very often
In preventing injury by rust. Any of all these
things are beneficial to the wheat crop, particu-
larry where there is prevailing liability to rust
and erinkling straw.
4th. C3orer and plaster rotation. The frequent
use Of and plowing under of various green crops
as manures; the plaster to be applied to the
clover or other crop to be piowed under. to
induce ranker growth, together with the liberal
application Of lime to the land by being narrowed
into the surface before seeding
