Ehc Kitchen Garden.

: good kitchen garden well stocked
with different vegetables means a bouuti-
ful supply Of healthful food for the
table. II the farmer lives near a viliaze,
especially one with large factories, he
may dispose Of cabbage, green corn,
peas, roots, etc, with profit. Ii Will
pay to look closely to this matter and
see if a small plot Of ground in garden
vegetables may not yield larger returns
than whole field IN farm crops. There
is but little out-of-door work in the gar
den IN mid-wiuter. Whenever the soil
will permit IL may be worked III mild
weather, ana thus facilitate the soring
operations. Implements shoald be put
III order, and new ones sought out and
procured Tor spring operations; even a
pillow point or cnltivator tooth put in
stock now, may save J half day in the
busy season. Now Is the time for over
hauling the seeds, testing them as to
their vitality, that there NAV be no
serious losses later on. ANY stake on
labels that may be needed should be
provided beforehand. -An7erica51 tart

Several OF the farmers clubs in Eng
| land have petiuoned the board of trade
| to procure the requisite legislation to
make the sale of grain by weight com
pulsorv. They also desire TO have the
GENITAL of 100 pounds substituted for the
1l2-pouud huBdred-welght. The secre-
tary declines to act III the matter. ana
informs the farmers that they are now at
liberty to sell by weight ii they choose.
A vast amount Of confusion and trouble
Is the result. There is no standard for
selling gram. The standard Is like that
advocated by those who favor bimotal-
iIsu. Persons who have poor gram to
sell desire TO have ii measured. On the
contrary. those wbc have a very good
article desire 20 have II weighed. In
sOae parts Of the country grain Is sold
by weight, and IN others by measure.
In few places tie wholesale trade is
conducted by weight and the retail 10y
measure. When tue season IS poor and
the grain Is light farmers desire to sell
ny measure, bar When the reverse Is the
case tucT desire to sell by weight. Pa
pers published IN different paris of Eng
land quote the price Of grain at so much
a bushel, quarter. Genital. aud hundred
weight. The measures q holI, - comb, "
''seanl, and several others are also used
IL some places. Gcaeet Britain appears
to be far behind the times IN the
matter of uniformity IN the manner of
selling grain and other farm products.
The custom OF selling animals designed
for food by weight il not general, at
least it is not customary to weigh them.
There are comparatively lew scales for
weighing heavy articles. On this ac-
count measuring Is more common than
in this country.

enable farmers to winter several head of
cattle, and use up perhaps five or ten
tons of wheat straw, converting the
whole into valuable manure. How to
make the most Of our raw is an impor-
tant problem for eastern farmers In grain
growing sections. Tt is reckoued waste
fui to sell 1t, and 1t is certainly not less
so to leave 1t unused IN bard yards year
after year. It's value to be rolted down

straw at 52.68 per ton, and oat straw at

deal more than this if we can buy the
right material to supplement its known
deficiencies.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
'sbe Flow Horse.

tx MAKO r. COOK.
DID you see the horse that won the race?
Little about him Of outward grace,
But now he went when he struck his pace
Honest and square and steady!
Wen, that is the horse, SO people aYow,
ihat only last Spring was dragging plow
Somewhere on iarm--Iust lcok at him now
He's trotted 70 fame already!
Surprising that story about him is true,
Ana that dumb beasts think (as l hold they do)
How strange must seem his surroundings new
To the ex-p0w-horsc's vision!
BE canuot yet have forgotten the dpys
When be tolled in obscCre and humble ways.
And knew Of no 9'feld" save that where thew
The oats that make it Elysianl
In that dun. plow-dragging. three-ninute gait
At which ne was Jogging along when Fate
Decreed be zhQuld Waken to ind himself great
His life might have been all wasted:
HlE pulses then had never been stirred
~ the thrill of the race, by the judges word.
Nor the shouts Of the crowd had he ever heard
Nor tie sweets Of victory tasted!
And what, ask, does he think Of it all
Inc eX-plow horse in the racers stall
Petted and pampered with rrcOms 1t his call
Does he seem TO himself a stranger?
As / I'VE, lhere are times when l fancy he'd say,
II We could but understand his neigh:
'Oh, let me 60 bach, for Just one d4y
To the dear old farm and Manager!
'tor I'm tired and sick Of this ceaseless strain
On muscle and sinew, on nerve and brain,
And I've found already how hollow and vain
Are the prizes which Tame disburses,
and though I'm a racer famous now.
/ was happier on the farm. i trow-
Happier when was dragging the pillow
Than ever in trotting for purse5."
1t may be only q ficsion. know,
And yet, If III some such channel should flow
The racers thoughts, it wouli simply show.
However Fortune may pat Us,
Horse or man, thoBgA raised on high.
Sun for the fond old DAYS may sigh
stlll may re ali with tear in the eve
The story OF Ciuciunatus!
