Use Good Tools.

Farmers certainly err seriously, says
the New England Farmer, when they
spend valuable time using worthless
tools; but it is of little use to urge a
man to pillow his land well when we
know he has not tool on his farm fit,
to work with. Our advice to a man
who proposes to make farming bust
ness would be to sell off many of his
old tools occasionally by auction, or to
men who have but little use for farm
ing tools, and replace them with the
best, well-tested, new styles he can
find. A new pillow point may cost so
cents to 81, but it may enable the
plowman and team to earn 81 where
the old one would not earn 81 Poor
blowing by the use of wornout pillow
may diminish crop very materially.

various communications received by him
from government employees, asking for adj

and that they should pay or refuse to pay as
they would feel it duty of private citizen.
The following was put in circulation among
the greenback clubs of Chicago: "Greenback-

convention to be held at Bloomington, August

THRILLING -4RBUTUS.

In spring when branches of woodbine
Hung leafiess over the rocks,
And tieecy snow in the hollows
Lay in unsupported fiocks,
By the road where dead leaves rustled,
Or damply matted the ground,
While over me gurgled the robin
His honey'd passion of sound.
L saw the trailing arbutus
Blooming in modesty sweet,
And gathered store of its riches
Offered and spread at my feet.
1t grew under leaves, as if seeking
No hint of itself to disclose,
And out of its pink-white petals
A delicate perfume arose.
AS faint as the fond remembrance
OF joy that was only dreamed,
And like divine suggestion
The scent of the flower seemed.
/ had sought for love on the highway,
For love unselfish and pure,
And had found it in good deeds blooming
Tho often in hands obscure.
Often in leaves by the wayside,
But touched with heavenly glow,
And with self-sacritice fragrant,
The flowers of great love grow.

AS year unto year succeeds,
Be thou the laurel and emblem
OF noble, unseltish deedsl

Lcesdale, a town ten miles from Pittsburg,

which he beat his brains out with club and
threw the body into Charters creek The
blind murderer then took a seat on the Char

in a few minutes, struck him, fracturing his
skull and otherwise fatally injuring him. He
was picked up while yet conscious and after

wanted to die. He is still living. but there is
no hopes entertained of his recovery. Both

| Rural New YORKER
In California the waste from the har-
vesting of grain is allowed to reseed
the land, and a second, or volunteer
crop, is often raised without any plow-
ing or additional seeding. The cold
winters on the Atlantic slope, in most
of the states, would render this sort of
seeding imperative, except in the case
of wheat and rye, which are winter
proof. 1t would, doubtless, surprise
many farmers to know that, by plow-
ing their wheat and rye stubble in the
autumn, the land would be rcseeded to
these grains from the waste of the har-
vest Straw can be turned to such
good account for fodder in winter that
it should be in the best form. There
will be more and better grain by cut
ting it as soon as it begins to turn
white, and the straw will be in a much
more valuable condition. Farmers
should take pains to secure their grain
crops at this period of growth. Straw
is worth much more to feed than sim
ply to throw into the barnyard to rot
for manure. Fed with little grain, it
will keep stock in as good condition as,
if not better than, hay alone, and the
manure will be more valuable than that
from hay alone.
1t is evident, then, that by harvesting
the straw when in the best possible con-
dition, large amount of stock may be
kept on the farm, and the farmer can
thus add to the value of the manure
pile; or he may, if he choose, utilize his
straw for fodder and sell a
portion of the hay, letting the straw
and some grain take its place. The day
for burning straw or letting it go to
waste, for the man who has any wis
dom, is gone by. This fact is made
more emphatic because meats of all
kinds are so high. and the experience
Of some farmers has shown that by
good management, as l have indicated,
The straw may be turned to valuable
account in the rearing of animals and
IN enriching the farm. This stubble
rom straw, cut when full of juices, is
worth more for fertilizing the soil, to

stored in it. Such stubble is quite an
