Grass should be cut before the seed
has matured, except when grown for
the seed. Grasses for hay, as q rule,
are at their best when in blossom.
Glover is usually cut while in full BIOS
som, though there are cultivators who
wait until few of tho seeds begin to
dry up and the reproductive functions
are being brought into play for the
maturing OF the seed.
There are exceptions to this universal
rule of cutting grasses for hay while in
bloom, in the cases of some of the
natural grasses. Crested dogtail, for
instance, has been proven by analysis
to be an exception; so has orchard grass,
which Mt the time the seed is ripe and
at the time of towering is, in regard to
its nutritive qualities, as seven to five.
1t has also been proven that the stems
of timothy contain more nutritive matter
when the plant is nearly ripe than at
the time of Towering. But 1t has also
been decided that the loss of aftermath,
which would have formed had the plant
been cut in blossom, more than balances
the gain in the ripening seeds.
While there are different times for the
different varieties of grasses, the time of
Towering is the general indication for
the harvest to begin. At this season
the saccharine juices that go to form
and develop the seed are in the stalk
and leaves, and if the grass is then
moved it must of necessity be palatable
and succulent.
Another argument advanced for cut
ting grass before the maturity of the
seed, is that when the seed is allowed
to form the vitality of the grass becomes
impaired, heavier draft is made upon
the soil, and the meadow, in conse-
quence, soon runs out.-N. Y. World.

Thinning Plants.

Among the numerous duties which
the gardener is called upon to perform,
there are few more important than tho
judicious thinning of plants, yet impor
tant as it is the work is often delayed or
not half done; this is because, to many,
it is very disagreeable work to do.
When the plants are small, which is the
time to thin, it seems like waste OF
land to leave the plants as far apart US
they ought to be, SO they are often left
to stand twice rs thick as they ought to
be. The gardener makes an effort to
leave the largest and pull out the small
est, but he no sooner gets plant out of
the ground than it appears TO him that
he has pulled up the largest and left the
smallest, thus keeping up a constant
irritation, which no doubt is increased
by the frequent sharp pains that shoot
down the spinal column to remind him
that the position he is obliged to assume
to do the work properly is not a natural
one.
These combinations of troubles which
never fail to put in an appearance, often
cause postponement of the work be-
yond the proper time, if not entirely.

well, as the seed-sower will sow the
seed, will be worthy to have his name
enrolled among those who are consid-
cred the worlds bencfactors. But at
present we must bend our back to the
work and dare to do our duty, by thin
ming plants to proper distance; there
is rarely ever anything gained by lcav-
ing plants thick.
Among the difficult plants to be
thinned may be named the beet. The
seeds of this plant are so constructed
that there is often two or three plants
that come from what appears to be only
one seed. These plants come up SO
near each other that the leaves inter-
twine, thus making it difficult to remove
one without removing them all; but un-
less they are thinned to one plant in a
place, the crop will not be satisfactory,
especially if they are early bects for the
table. Carrots are also somewhat diff
cult to thin, though if taken when small
are not as bad rs beets. Onions are not
quite as bad as many other plants, nor
is it SO important to have them thinned
if the land is very rich. Squashes, cu-
bumbcrs and melons need thinning
quite as much as any other plants, and,
although it is but little labor to do it,
| it requires more than an ordinary
amount of courage to do it properly,
especially the squashes, which ought to
be thinned to three in a hill. Those who
have not already thinned the plants in
the garden should lose no time in doing
so.-MaSsachusetts Pionghman.

tho object of my attentions to your
niece"
She tried TO speak, but the words
died in her throat. She made an effort
TO thread her needle. Anxious TO en-
gage her whole attention, MIR. Hall
took her hand and uttered sharp OK
clamation as tho needle pierced his
thumb.
"Flo suspected this" whispered Miss
Carson.
"Hal She didp What did she sayp"
"Oh, she liked you very much then,
but lately---n
"Oh, know have been fool, but
with your consent shall yet be the hap
piest man in Chicago"
"And l am the happicst woman" she
murmured. "Oh, MIR. Hall, or Jacob,
suppose l ought to call you now.
shall do all in my power to be good
wife,"
In her agitation she covered her face
with the stocking she had been darnipg
and wept. There was an awful silence.
Mr.. Halls tongue was paralyZcd. Was
this an awful dreamp Or was he going
madp
"You must excuse me-" said Miss
Carson, wiping her eyes. But the
news of Flo's engagement and every
thing connected with it rather upset me
to begin with, and this coming, too,
was too much"
"Flo's engagement" said Mr.. Hall.
in a voice so hollow that it startled
him.
"Ycs, they have been engaged ever
since the night you saw them in the
parlor, but Flo would not tell me be-
cause she says was unjust to Mr.. Fay.
There has been quite n change in Mr..
Fay's affairs. He was quite poor and
was obliged to send part of what
money he made to support his widowed
mother. The same day that he pro-
posed to Flo he had received letter
stating that fortune had been left him
by an uncle in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hall waited to hear no more.
He seized his hat and rushed from the
house. His tenant was waiting ut the
Office to see him. "You intimatcd that
you wanted the house, Mr.. Hall, but
l called for u definite answer before
-"
al don't want the house. am going
to leave Chicago. I'll make out a lease
for five years if you like. Call this
afternoon
Left alone he buried his face in his
hands and reflected deeply. Whether
he wished it or not, he was engaged to
Miss Carson. He tried to remember
just what he had said, but could not re-
call his words. Possibly in his confu-
sion he had proposed. Well, she was a
good woman, and might make a better
wife than her niece. He remembered
how kindly she had nurscd him through
the rheumatism two years ago. Yes, it
was all for the best. He went to one
of the large stores on State street and
bought handsome piece of velvet for
n dress. "She shall have pair of
diamonds to wear with it" he said,
with chucklc. His tenant called in
the afternoon. Mr.. Hall told him that
he had again changed his mind. The
tenant left. deeply disgusted.

An Erie Pa.) paper prints story
about minister in Mercer who cured a

Loading Hay.

There is "how to do it, in loading
which nearly all understand but few
practice. / do not refer now to the
various mechanical contrivances which
are coming into use in some parts of the
country whereby the services of a
"pitcher" are dispensed with, but to
the old-fashioned, back-aching method
that ninty-nine out of every one-hun-
dred farmers are perfectly familiar with.
In our experience there are but few
hired men (and they almost always have
this part of the work to do) who know
how to pitch on forlful of hay. They
stick the fork into the hay-cock or wind
row, wherever it happens, and then
waste their strength in tugging at an
unwieldly weight which is more often
delivered on the side of the load than on
the top. BY little care taken in in
serting the fork we'll over on the oppo-
site side of the hay-cock but not too
deeply, and by taking hold of the stale
well down toward the fork with one
hand and with the other grasping it
about midway, one can lift the weight
with less exertion than by any sort of
leverage he can devise. In this way the
forkful may be laid on the load in an
inverted position and the fork can then
be easily Withdrawn. This is what the
"loader" wants, for he then can place
it easily on any part of the load.
The forkful being on the load, 1t Is
for the leaders interest to take some
pains in laying it since he generally
!. ..pitches of" One-half the frettlng
and tugging could be averted by laying
each forkful in order upon the load be-
| ginning, for instance, at the forward
| ladder and loading around, and binding
| with small forkfuls in the middle to pre-
vent sliding off. The farmers work Is
hard enough ut the best, and whenever,
byusing a little thought, he can tighten
| his burden no ono can blame him for 80
