The Pudding i'm the Chair.

A paragraph of State news, embOdy-
inc a droll Thanksgiving incident at q
dinner table in Wyndham, leads DR.. c..
b. LYMAN. of this city. to recall similar
occurrence in that ncighborhood a long
time ago-before he was born, and he
is eighty. In the original incident
(Which was true story the head OF
the table Il lawyer, while standing to
carve the turkey, found need of more
room. and so set big dish of hot pud-
ding in his own chair. The company;
seeing the chance for fun. diverted his
mind from the pudding by introducing
a lively theme shat set all a-laughing-
and when Mr.. Carver sat down he sat
in the hot pudding. The later version
whether of new and real incident or
an improvement on the old one-is that
at the recent Thanksgiving in Wyndham
the carver found the turkey tough
one to unioint, and, after Juggling awhile
at it. he made more room by clapping
a big dish of hot pudding into his
vacant chair. and went on hacking at
the turkey, his energetic but ill-directe'l
labor finally landing the obdurate fowl
in the lap of a lady at the table, and
scattering the table cloth with grease
and gravy. The carver, aghast. and
ruefully ecclaiming: Now I've done
it, weakly subsidized into the pudding,
and found he had indeed done it

The Profit in Farming.

In agriculture. as in all other indus
tries. it is the best use of opportunities
and materials that makes the most
profit The soil is the material from
which the farmer produces his income.
1t is productive only when 1t Is ut work,
that is. when it is bearing some crop.
When ii is idle it is simply so much
money at rest and yielding no interest.
The soil. too. ike money, is exhausted
when it is idle. and is increasing in
value when it is ut work. One might
as well fear that so much money as the
land is worth would become reduced IN
value by beng well invested, rs that
the land would be-impovcriShed when
il is in productive condition. ms
can be very clearly shown. \ field IS
Sown now to rye. and the crop will be
gathered next July. Frequently 1t will
lie until the next spring. when it may
be planted 10 corn. The corn Will stand
a month after it is ripe and might be
cut. and the land viii be plowed III the
spring and sown with oats. Inc oat
stubble will be two months before 1t IS
plowed and sown to fall grain of some
kind. Now the ground has been idle
more than half the time, producing
nothing. On the other hand, field
now in rye or wheat may be plowed
rs soon as the crop is cut and
planted with fodder corn, or
sown with millct. or a green crop
such rs rape, or with turnipS, and from
five to ten or fifteen tons per acre OF val
uable fodder taken from the soil. Inns
will feed good many stock, sheep, pigs,
cattle. or COWS, and the whole value OF
it will be returned in manure. Or the
crop NAV be plowed under and the soil
greatly enriched by it. The following
corn crop will be increased either way
by the manure or the green stuff plowed
in. If the corn is put in in good season.
the land being plowed in the fall so that
no time is lost. and is cut as soon as the
grain in glazed, rye may be sown and
narrowed in, and good fall or winter
pasture NAV be secured. There will be
something to be plowed in, too, IN the
spring more or less, and again the land
will be in better condition. This con-
slant cropping will keep down weeds
and will produce something that may
be fed To stock. and if done, As rule,
will easily provide fodder for twice as
much live stock as the farm usually car
ries. No farmer will have shadow OF
a doubt that at the end of ten years with
such treatment as this his land viii be
far richer and more productive. and he
will be proportionately richer himself
than if it had laid idle six months OF
each of those years.-N. \. Times.

He had to move aside or be run over,
for she picked up her sachel and put on

made her way down stairs and started
for the depot, and when boy asked il
