Sowing cmss on Winter Grain.

The best method Of sowing grass
seed on winter grains is TO wait until
the ground has settled in the early
spring, and then SOW the seed broad :
cast and follow with a harrow. Any
harrow will answer the purpose. Ma
ny persons use a Thomas smoothing
harrow-one with the points Of the
teeth turned backward. This harrow
ing will not only cover the grass
seed, and cause II TO grow promptly,
with no loss, but at the same time it
will break the crust on the surface and
mellow the earth, which will be a We.
ry great advantage to the crop Of win
ter grain. Many farmers shake their
heads when this idea is advanced, but
IL they would try il they would be sat
is6ed that 1t is always an advantage
10 the winter grain, and secures a
good seeding. These are not all the
advantages to be gained by a spring
narrowing Of winter grain. The sur
face being made light and friable, the
grain will throw out new roots and
tiller more. Less grass seed will be
required in seeding, as il will be bet.
ter covered and hence not so much
lost on this account. The seed should
always be well covered, as the plants
will do better when dry time comes
on. A harrow with the teeth moder.
ately apart is better than one very
closely set together. In any case, the
harrow should take hold of the ground
aud stir and cut the surface thorough
ly. This is what is wanted to give
freshness to the surface and loosen it
up for the roots Of the grain to spread
out and tiller, and to send up more
heads, which it will surely do

This is most valuable in soils which
have a hard crust or impervious STRAIT
um Of earth several inches down,
formed by the frequent passage of the
team and pillow in common blowing; or
when the earth is too hard for roots to
penetrate freely below the ordinary
depth of working. Another import
ant benefit is in making deep bed Of
loose earth to receive and retain the
water Of rains when in excess, and
give it of again when most wanted in
time Of drought. Loose or gravelly
soils, down to a depth of a foot or
two, are not benefited by the opera.
tion. If the common pillow goes down
seven or eight inches, the subsoil pillow
should loosen the earth in the bottom
OF the furrow seven or eight inches
more. But il the soil is deepened by
it only few inches more, an import
ant benefit if often derived from the
operation. Subsoiling only loosens
the earth and does not throw it up to
the surface, differing entirely in this
respect from deep or trench blowing,
which throws the subsoil TO the sur.
face, and if it is of a sterile charac.
ter makes the land less productive at
least for time. Subsoiling, howev.

gradually deeper, throwing up a
small portion of the lower soil at a
time and gradually intermixing it,

a Mechanical Tram. Starter.

A new machine, operated by clock
work, is to be placed in the train
starters tower at the Grand Central
Station, which is designed TO do auto
matically what is now done by men
employed as train-starters. The ma
chine, Of brass, copper, and steel, &C
cupies but little space, IL being less
than 2 ft. in either length, breadth, or
height. The mechanism consists Of
three upright cylinders Of brass, in
which are punctured a series OF holes,
each representing one Of the LAO
minutes in the day. BY the side OF
these are three smaller pillars, on
which are fixed spirally pins repre-
senting the % hours Of the day. The
three pairs Of pillars as they stand in
the case represent respectively the
three roads using the Grand Central
Station, the Harlem, New York Cen
trial, aud New York, New Haven and
Hartford. A series Of springs are set
90 as to be operated upon by the two
cylinders as they, each in turn, make
their revolution in the "a hours Of the
day. These springs connect with
electrical appliances. The fixed pegs
on the hour column and the movable
pegs set into the minute cylinder stri
king the arms Of the spring, set the
necessary bells ringing in various
parts Of the station.
ALTO minutes before the leaving
time Of through trains bells are ruDg
for the gates to open. Fifteen min.
utes later they ring warning "all
aboard in the passenger rooms, and
in the baggage rooms notify the bag
gage-master TO have all his baggage
on board the train. At one minute
before leaving time they ring TO close
the doors leading TO the station, and
they ring a minute later TO start the
train. All this is done automatically
by this ingenious contrivance Of clock
work and mechanism, and without the
possibility of mistake, unless the
clock-work or electrical machinery
clogs or breaks. The machinery ad
justs itself once in seven days to the
fewer trains that run on Sundays and
then readjusts itself for Mondays in
creased travel. All this signaling is
now done by hand. the bells being
ruug by system of bell-pulls. II is
claimed that greater accuracy can be
Obtained by the use Of this contriv-
ance and much labor saved. Its capa.
bilities will be fully and severely test
ed in the trial which it will at once
receive at the station. There are now
1893 trains arriving at and leaving the
station each day in the week, except
Sundays, when the number is but 4S.
During the summer the arrivals and
departures on week days are increased
by about 40 trains. IN. Y. Times.

ELEMENTS OF A TRUE MARRIAGE.
There are three elements that com.
bine to make atrue marriage: Health,
love and sympathetic companionshlp.
No man or woman physically weak
should marry and thus entail suffer-
ing on others. Love does not mean
passion; it is based on understanding.
Men and women should know each
other behind the curtain, as it we're.
before marriage. Unhappy lives Of
ten result from imperfect knowledge
before marriage of the characteristics
of the partner in the contract. Love
makes sacrifices; passion never. No
husband or wife has ever known true
happiness until after the birth of q
child. Men and women on the plane
of marriage stand equals. There
should be sympathetic companionship
in the sense that an irreligious person
should not marry one who is religious
ly inclined, or an unintelIectual person
one who is of opposite taste. There
should be sympathy and fellowship
between husband and wife in all the
pursuits OF life. REV. Chas. H. Ca

SlmnLa Cure for Cold Feet.

The following remedy for cold feet
is recommended by the FreemGn's
Journal for sedentary sufferers, as well
as policemen, car drivers, and Others
who are exposed to the cold; All that
is necessary is to stand erect and very
gradually to lift ones self up upon
the tips of the toes, so as to put all
the tendons of the foot at full strain.
This is not to hop or jump up and
down, but simply to rise-the slower
the better-upon tiptoe, and to re
main standing on the point of the toes
as long as possible, then gradually
coming to the natural position. Re-
peat this several times, and by the
amount Of work the tips of the toes
are made to do in sustaining the
body's weight, sufficient and lively
circulation is set up. A heavy pair
of wooden stockings drawn over thin
cotton ones is also a recommendation
for keeping the feet warm, and at the
same time preventing their becoming
tender and sore.
