come to Thee tonight
In my lone closet, where no eye can see
And dare TO crave an interview with Thee,
Father of love and light!
If | this day have striven
With thy best spirit, or have bowed the knee
To aught of earth in weak idolatry,
pray to be forgiven.
Ifin my heart has been
An unforgiving thought, or word or .ook,
Though deep the malice, which | scarce coulC
brook
Wash me from this dark sin.
If | have turned away
From griefor suffering which might relieve,
Care less the cup of water cen to give,
Forgive me. Lord, pray.
And teach me how to feel
Nv sinful wanderings with deeper smart,
And more of mercy and of grace impart
Ny sinfulness to heal.
And now, 0 Father ! take
The heart cast with humble faith on Thee
And cleanse its depths from each impurity
For my RedeemerS sake.

Brains m Farming.

There is no doubt that brains will
tell in holding the plow, in planting
potatoes or small fruits, OF in feeding
or milking cows quite as much as In
any other occupation or profession.
This is demonstrated in masses as
shown in the census tables as clearly
as in the case of individuals in any
neighborhood. Thus the State OF
Iowa employs $4,000 fewer farm
hands than Missouri, but employs
more machinery and brains because
it contains q more intelligent popu-
lation and by better knowledge
and better grade of tools Iowa cult
Yates one-fifth more area and raises
two-fifths more produce than Mis-
souri.
This aggregate is made up by the
small individual increments of supe-
riority in the citizens of the one
State over those of the other. 1t is
the difference between intelligence
and stupidity and general ignorance.
The general estimate is that farming
is only routine business and that
brains are not needed in so dull and
primitive a calling. But statistics
backed by observation shows that
brains are employed, and farmers
should make a note of this.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-06-13

Fifty years ago few people knew
much about ventilation, or, indeed,
believed much in its importance !;
and a crusade in favor of fresh air
was fought by the sanitarians. Now
the tide runs the other way, and all
the dull people have learned the
phrase "fresh ali" and insist on hav-
ing what they call fresh air at any
cost, and without regard to times
and places. Two men will come in
to the spacious parlor of a club 7; the
air, though warm, is much purer,
and cooler by five degrees, than the
furnace blast of the streets that they
have left. The incomers are entirely
comfortable until one of them no.
tices that the windows are shut.
Then they remember the formula
"fresh air." the windows are ordered
open, in comes the heated gust from
without, laden with'the animal re-
fuse that forms the chief ingredient
of the dust of our large cities. These
intelligent gentlemen draw near the
open window, they inhale the winged
odcrs of the streets, they murmur
their formula, "a little fresh air.
they have cleared their consciences,
and are happy. And in travelling,
what do we not suffer from this ig-
norant conception of fresh air. We
have all seen the lady who must
have the window open in the railway
carriage; in the summer she breathes
the railway sparks and cinders, and
she catches severe cold on every
winter journey; nothing short Of
pneumonia will convince her mar
row ignorance that there are other
things to think about in travelling
than what she calls ''fresh air."
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-06-13
Give Horses q Rest.

Horses that have worked constant
ly on the farm, or even in the family
carriage, remarks the Western SPORTS
man, become worn and fatigued, and
though well fed, begin each days
work with reluctance. They need
change; they require rest and change
of draft on their muscles. Let them
60 for month into good pasture,
their whole system will have agrate-
full rest. Their muscles will relax I;
they will lay on flesh, and manifest
such Improvement :as viii compen-
safe for :he loss of their labor. Pull
Of their shoes. and let their feet
come in contact with the soil. The
animals need change as tired men of
business need the mountain air or
the cooling sea breeze. Our domes-
tic animals. except the horse, all
have q weeks rest but so depend
ent are We on the constant services
Of this animal that We cannot spare
him even for . week.

Sand i'm Garden Soil.

A light, loamy, sandy soil, is by
far the best for garden, and espe-
cially is this the case for roots. All
garden vegetables to be succulent
and tender must grow fast, and a
rich soil is the main requisite, but
moisture is equally essential. So
long as we have showery weather in
the Spring and early Summer vege-
tables will grow right along,
but when the hot dry weather sets
in the difference in soil becomes ap-
parent. A garden that is ever so
rich, with no sand in its composition
or other good material to hold mois-
ture will soon dry up, the plants will
cease to grow Is rapidly as they
should, and become hard and tough;
of course some plants are able to
withstand more drouth than others,
while others do as well if some good
mulching is put around them that
will hold moisture, while often it is a
very hard matter to keep growing
during dry weather. Sand is espe-
cially valuable to this class, as it is
hard to excel for retaining moisture.
With roots sand is an almost invalu-
able ingredient. We have found by
experiance that with all root crops
sandy soil is by far the most yref-
erable.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-06-13

A common mistake in the cultiva-
ton of this plant is to imagine that
ii requires an enormous space to
perfect its growth in. OF course, if
it is allowed to wander at its own
sweet win, it will occupy agreat deal
of ground. But this is not at all the
best way TO get ripe fruit, though
any amount of leaves, stalks and
green tomatoes may be produced by
It. Please give the following plan a
fair trial. Set the plants in rows two
feet apart, and fifteen inches apart
in the rows.
When the first bunch of buds has
fairly made its appearance, nip off
the whole of the shoots growing be.
tween the stem and branches, but
allow the main stem to grow on un-
til four or. at most, five punches of
buds are formed. Then, the plant
being probably three feet high, pinch
off the main stem three inches from
the highest bunch, and continue to
nip of the shoots as before, as fas,
as they make their appearance, Just
as in the cultivation oftobacco.
Iffhis is properly done, the great,
est amount of ripe fruit that the eli.
mate is capable of producing will be
secured. Stakes about four feet long
win be required to tie the plants TO-
They should be driven firmly into
the ground, and the stems should
not be too tightly bound. / have
practiced this mode Of growing to.
matoee for twelve years and have
never failed TO obtain an early crop
of well matured fruit. Keep the
ground well stirred and mulch with
half rotten dung. Lots Of liquid ma.
nure.
