A Life.

Her white little hand is resting
On the arm that held 1t OF Old
And ne thinks il is only the night oleeze
That makes it SO soft and cold.
Her eyes in his are gazing
Ewes ever SO faithful To him,
And he thinks it the shadomy twilight
That makes them SO strange and dlm
Her pretty face turns toward him;
All, when did her face turn away!
And be thinks il the silvgry moonlight
That makes it SO faint and gray.
Oh, spirit that fingers and falters,
T.ks courage and whisper Goodbye.
A life?-why life is nothing,
When millions each minute die.
With millions each minute dying,
What matters one life or death!
One fragile and tender existence:
One treinulous passing breath!
A life? Why life is nothing!
What matters tho one burn dImF
Alas for the folly of reasOn-
One life is the world 10 him.

AGRICULTURE.

IF the barns and sheds need any repairs
in order to make them comfortable and
convenient for stock during the winter Il
is not too early to begin operations. BY
commencing your planning in season you
will have time to have everything in
good shape before cold weather comes
and will not only get it done more easily
but will lie much more likely to get it aS
YOU want it. If there was anything about
YOUR stable arrangements last winter that
was not satisfactory, make up your mind
TO look after it at once and thus avoid the
chance oft going unheeded through the
winter. Don't sail to make arrangements
to take better care of your stable manure
build "a shed for it if you have not one al
ready. and secure a supply of some absorb
ant by means of which you can preserve
the valuable liquid manure. Common
road dust or dry earth of any kind will

AN exchange has this to say about
keeping harness soft, pliable and in good
working condition: Washing harness with
warm water and soap soon injuries the
leather. All varnishes, and backing con
tanning varnish are injurious. When d
harness becomes rusty give it new coat
of grain black. Before applying this,
wash the grain side of the leather with
potash water. cold, until al the grease is
removed. After the leather is dry apply
the grain black, and then oil and tallow
This fastens the color and makes the har-
ness flexible and soft. Grained harness

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Country Gen
tleman who has made potato culture a
speciality uses some peculiar methods
which may be of interest. He selects his
seed for next season when the potatoes
are dug in the fall. taking the smallest tu-
bers and throwing them in pile in the
sun, and leaving them to become thor
oughly greened. As one side becomes
green he rakes them over with hay rake
until both are well colored. At planting
time in the spring the root ends are cut
off and saved for pig feed. The remain
der are cut in pieces from the size of a
cent upward, one eye to each piece, and
are mixed in lime. Drills are opened 80
inches apart, manure put in, the sets
placed eye down on the manure, and then
covered with a two horse iron beam plow.
Two weeks after planting, an Acme har-
row is run lengthwiSe and crOsSwise of
the burrows; two weeks afterward, the
Acme harrow is used again. He gives
his potatoes no hand hOeing, and is said
to have remarkable success. 1t seems
probable that the same method and care
with large tubers might give even better
results.
