Stephen 3. Todd, wealthy bachelor
OF Dunellen, n. j., died last week, aged
Y He was almost literally the father
OF Dunellen, owning all theland on which
the village was constructed. His rever-
ence for his parents attracted the atten-
lion of all who knew him. No creature,
rot even o chicken owned by his parents
was ever sold or killed; all were kept
until they died OF old age. He had a
COW % years of age, most carefully nour-
lshed and housed because it was calf
that his mother had raised. The old
r0cBaway in which his father and moth
er rode has been carefully enclosed IN
his barn, and to his death no one had
been permitted to use it. Every little
article used by bis mother he seemed TO
almost worship and to cherish with rev.
ereuce. Although he was very econom-
zeal, he was very hInd-hearted, and kept
a stove in his barn and man to attend
it IL order to keep his cattle comforta-
bic. His cattle followed him about the
fields like children. His estate is valued
at over 5000, 0C0, which will 60 to his

An Early Crop of Peas.

There are two distinct classes of peas,
those with small, round seeds, and
others with much larger, Irregularly
shaped peas, the surface of which Is
wrinkled. The wrinkled seeded, or
marrow peas, ire as much. better than
the others as sweet corn is superior to
field corn. The round peas, while not
so good, are much harder and earlier
than the others. Unless the soil Is
warm, and they terminate quickly, wrin-
killed. peas will decay before they can
come up. The round peas are vastly
better than no peas, and are very ac-
ceptable until the others come. To have
early peas, they must be sown early
the earlier the better. After the soil has
thawed for the first four inches, even if
ground was MANFRED and plowed last
autumn, all the better; if not, select the
richest available spot, and open drill
four inches deep. Peas should be COW
cred deeper than most seeds. For vari-
cites, "Early Kent" is one of the best;
it has almost as many names az there are
dealers. Daniel O'Rourke is one of
names of a good strain of this pea;
"Carter's First Crop" is another good
variety, and every spring new extra early
sorts are sent from England, which
usually turn out to be old g Early Kent, :"
with new name. The peas should be
sown in the Bottom of the drill rather
thickly, at least one every inch, and at
first covered with about an inch of soil.
1t is well to put about four inches of
stable manure over the rows; this is to

PaSturing Wheat.

Ia Ohio and some other of the older
states, the practice of pasturiug winter
wheat with sheep has been followed with
satisfactory results. The unusual strong
growth of wheat IN the central and east
ern part of Ohio during winter and the
early part OF spring, induced a much
larger number of farmers to try this
course. SO far as observation extends
the result was satisfactory, causing the
wheat to stand closer and not grow SO
tall as to lodge before the grain had ma
tured. Young timothy was given good
chance and looks well; where wheat
lodged, these crops were injured if not
destroyed. Some fields had been pas
tured so close as to look almost bare in
April. The sheep were improving with
but little other feed; in many cases no
other feed was given. Pasturlng was
generally continued until some time in
May. Fields that were pastured the
closest have produced as good looking
crops as those not pastured. When
th,eshing the crop, farmers would Co
well to note the yield from fields pas
tured aud those not pastured and report
the result.

Farmers, Mistakes.

A writer In the Rural Home tells of
several mistakes he has made. One was
in cutting potatoes and allowing the
pieces to remain in a BARREL, where in a
few days they heated so as to spoil half
of them. Again he made a mistake in
planting corn with hen manure beneath
it, for when The young roots started they
we've burned and the corn was sick
throughout the season. We may avoid
such mistakes In the future. He then
speaks of another class of mistakes: elf
we plant a certain portion of our land
with potatoes and another portion with
beans, and from some natural cause
drought, perhaps) the potatoes turn out
poorly, and the beans do well and sell
for high price, we say we have made a
mistake In not planting all our land with
beans. Another year we attempt to
remedy the mistake, and plant a large
quantity of beans aud small quantity
of potatoes; this time from some cause,
perhaps a very wet season, the beans
go back on us aud the potatoes yield
a good crop. We will have to enter on
our record mistake III not planting more
potatoes and less beans; mistakes of the
first class when once discovered can al
ways be avoided but mistakes of the sec
ond class are very apt to get the best
even of the best of our farmers, and such
mistakes will continue to occur until we
can foretell for a certainty Just what
kind of season we are going to have
and just what price our various farm
products will bring"

ashing ElanneIs,

| think that careful hOusekeepers will
thank me for a word about how to treat
hannels so as to prevent most Of the
shrinking which IS their one fault, and
fault which prejudices many people
against their use: l. Get a quantity of
flannel that is a little loosely woven, not
of too tight a texture, and buy or cut
the garments rather large, allowing
about two inches in the length of an
under-shirt against the moderate shrink
age that can not be prevented. 2. In
washing the fiannels do not allow soap
to be rubbed upon them, and DO not let
the garments themselves be scrubbed or
rubbed; this fulls the material, and
makes them shrink They should be
washed by squeezing them IN hot and
strong suds, and then rinsed out in very
hot water. Both to the strong suds and
to the very hot water add liquid am
monia III the proportion of tablespoon
ful to the gallon. The French house
keepers, who are very practical people,
have found out that this is better than
borax for the purpose. 3. Do not put
the fannels aside wet. Put them out
TO dry as soon as they are washed, and
iron them before they are entirely dry,
so as not to have to dampen them again.
iron very thoroughly. Following these
rules will prevent nearly all shriDkage.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
Wiuter..A Lament.
BY CHARLES L. uILDRErH

BY CHARLES l. HlLDREIH
0 sad-voiced winds that sigh about my door,
fe mourn the pleasant hours that are no more
The tender graces of the vanished spring
The sultry splendor of long summer daye
The songs of birds, and streamlets mlir,npri,r
And far hills dimly seen through purple baza
Still as the shrouded dead the cold earth lies.
Sunless and sulen droop the troubled skies.
lhere 10 no sound within the leahess wood
No mellow echo on the barren hill:
flushed is the piping of the insect brood
And hushed the gurgle of the meadow riu
By rutted lanes the tangled green is gone:
The vine no longer hides the naked stone
But with its skeleton black fingers clings,-
Its clustered berries, withered on the stem
Held sadly out like humble offerings
Too poor for any hand to gather them.
On hillside pastures where the painting sheen
Hld from high noon in piny shadows deep
In level lawns with daisies overcast
The haunts OF belted bees and butterflies
The sere grass whistles in the cutting blast
The wrinkled mould in frozen burrows lies
Now Ger the landscape dreary and forsaken
Like some thin veil by unseen fingers shaken
Inc snow comes softly lowering through the air
Flake after flake in crossing threads of white.
Weaving in misty mazes everywhere
TIL forest, field and hill are shut from sigbt
q sad-voiced winds that sigh about my doorr
l mourn with ye the hours that are no more
My heart is weary of the sullen sky
Inc leatess branches, and the frozen plain.
long TO hear the earliest wild birds cry
And see the earth in gladstone green again.

4 Story of Ben Butler.


Speaking of great men reminds me of
Ben Butler. There never was a better
target for abuse than the present COVER
nor of Massachusetts, nor was there ever
target that accepted abuse with more
philosophy. The last story told of him
relates to marble bust just executed.
The artist was anxious to obtain an hon.
est criticism from a knowing friend.
i" You can not fail TO catch his likeness, 3"
said the critic. "Any fool can catch his
likeness"
''True," replied the artist, "but you
see it is very difficult to get likeness of
Butler and not make a caricature."
Yes, said the other, "God Almighty
tried His hand at it sixty years ago, and
He failed"
OF course tins story permeated the at
mosphere of Boston IN less time than it
took Puck to put a girdle around the
earth. Buffers comment on the tale was,
80 I'm afraid it's true"

Waxing Frees for ROrers.

Last season we called attention to the
benefits of the plan of waxing trees to
keep out the borers. The plan recon-
mended was the application of liquid
grating wax IN spring, going over the
trees every year. Another way is to APP
ply coat of wax made as follows: -Four
pounds of resin, one pint Of raw linseed
oil, one-fourth pound beeswax. Set the
trees ordinarily deep, then throw shov-
ell full of leached ashes around each tree,
taking care that the waxed portion ex-
tends two inches above the soil. If of
the right consistency the wax will not
crack as the tree grows. Every spring
go over the orchard, removing the soil
about the tree to the depth of a few
inches, and give another coat of wax, put
on warm with swab. Then throw on
another shovel of leached ashes, etc.
One way is to wax the stems of the trees
four inches below and two inches above
the ground.

THE PHANTOM SHIP.
BIZ J. W. DE FOREST.

We stood on the haunted island,
We stood by the haunted bay;
Tie stars were all over the skyland,
But the moon bad loitered away
The lights of fisher-boats glimmered,
The beacon Glowed steady aud red,
The calm sea icily simmer
Like the eye Of one who is dead.
Then, all alone on the ocean,
The ghost of the island came
The ghost of i vessel in motion,
The ghost Of vessel in flame.
1t shone with vsporous brightness
glamour of tremulous rays;
1t was not fire, but the Wilderness
OF ghost Of persisted blaze.
We watched Il with all our vision.
We watched it doubling and dumb;
We had heard OF the thing with derlsion,
But we surely beheld it come.
We saw it glide DER the water
A phantom of palid fire;
We saw it tumble and totter
To ruin, and then fash higher.
Again and again to Ieeward
Its CHASTITY rigging fell DER;
At last, far away to seward
Ii foundered, and rose no more.
We had watched il with all our vision,
We had watched it with eye and glass;
And gone were doubt and derision,
For surely we saw it pass.
Through many a winter and summer,
As the sous Of the island know.
The CLEAN Of this ghostly conner
Has prophesied storm and woe
This ghost of great three-master
Which went in the days of yore
To fell and fiery disaster
Right OF the Block Island shore.

be left on in cold days, but when it is
sunny and warm, pull it off with the
rake, and let the sun strike the soil over
the peas, replacing it at night. When
the peas sprout, gradually cover them
with fine warm soil, placing the coarse
manure over them as needed, until the
covering of soil reaches the level of the
surface. If ridge of soil, few inches
higher than the peas, be drawn up on
each side of the row, it will greatly pro-
tect them from cold winds. When the
plants are few inches high, draw some
fine soil up to them, and stick in the
brush. When the soil becomes dry
and warm, the main crop of wriukled
