locomotive engineers running ihtu New
Orleans, and rs | hni nothing 10 do
dropped into concert and heard q
slick looking Du,chman play a piano that
made me feel all over in spots As soon
as he at down on the stool knew by
the way he handled himself that he
understood the machine he WAS running.
He tapped the small keys away up one
end, just as if they were gauges, and
wanted to see if he had water enough.
Then he looked up, a. if lie wanted TO
know how mnCh steam he was carrying,
and the next moment he pulled open the
throttle and sailed out Oh the man line,
Just as if he WAS half ~. hour late.
You could hear her thunder over rculycrts
and bridges, and getting faster and faster,
until the fellow rocked IN his seat like Il
cradle. Somehow, thought it was old

out of the way Ofa special. The fellow
worked the keys on the middle division like
lightning, and then he flew along the
North end OF the line until the drivers
went abound like a buzz SAW, and | got
excited. About the time wa5 fixing to
tell him 10 cut her oil II little, he kicked
the campers under the machine wide
open, pulled the throttle way back in the
tender, and, Jerusalem jumpers how he
did run / couldn stand il any longer,
and yelled to him that he was pounding
on the left side, and if he wasn't careful
he'd drop his ash pan. But he didn't
hear. No ono heard me. Everything
was flying and whizzinr. Telegraph
poles on the side Of tie track looked
like row ot corn stalks, the trees ap-
pcarcd to be a mud bank, and all the
| time the exhaust of the old machine
sounded like the hum OF bundle bee.
| tried to yell out, but my tongue
wouldn't move. He went round curves

An Agricultural Hint.

Young farmers frequently have no
capital to buy farm, and are compel
led to rent. First, get as good farm
as you can, and for as long a time
not less than five years. A man must
know his ground before he can realize
much from it. Second, raise what the
soil is adapted to. If hilly and rough
raise more stock. Don't try to cult
vate side hills; it doesn't pay. Use
all the manure you can get. Sow clio
yer, rye and peas and turn it under.
nd keep your ground. 1t will pay
you and it will paw vonr landlord. A
man who keeps his farm up in good
state Of fertilization is the kind Of man
the latter wants. Third. and last.
keep a Journal. Note down all things
connected with your business. time to
SOW and plant, cost of production. how
cultivated, time of gathering what
you realize, etc. Then You compare
one year with another. and whore you
have failed try the remedy next year.
Ask advice of every one, but draw your
own conclusions. Farm we'll and you
will do WELL

Sowing Seed too Deep.

AS a rule the majority Of farmers
sow seeds too deep, says an agricultu-
raj exchange. Small seeds need jus,
enough covering to give them moisture
and darkness. The soil should be
pressed on fine seeds, just enough to
exclude the light. Especially should
this be done very carefully and slight
ly where seeds are. sown just before a
rain. Many seeds are lost and the re-
putation of many good honest seeds
men ruined in the estimation of the
individual because fine seeds are sown
too deep and the soil is pressed down
too hard upon them. A great many
farmers are in too great hurry to SOW
seeds early; they do not wait for the
ground to getsufficiently dry and warm
1t is hard to give general directions
that will apply to all cases, but as a
rule, the smaller the seed the lighter
should be the covering, and the finer
should be the soil in which they are
soWn.

A Hopple for Jumping Horses.

Not long since, | saw a method of
restraining horses from jumping, AID
was assured by those who were using
it that it proved efficacious. 1t con
sists of surcingle about the b 'dy of
the horse, together with two short
straps that pass through the surcingle
and around each foreleg, being buck
led so that when the horse stands up
right the strap will fall about half
way to the knees. This arrangement.
which allows the horse to walk quite
freely, prevents its running as well as
jumping. A similar plan is to con
meet the forelegs of horse bv straps
secured just above the knees, but those
who have tried both plans prefer the
one first mentioned. Some horses are
difficult to catch when at pasture, and
this device will prove valuable in such
cases.
