Good Walks.


houses as good walks in paths that must be used
daily. There is hardly an excuse for not having
them when either brick, gravel or timber can be
had. A good walk through muddy yards can be
easily and cheaply made by placing poles side by
intervening space with gravel, with broken
corn cobs or with sawdust. Oak planks will last
many years, if turned over occasionally, and this
also counteracts warping. One of the best of
walks through 4 level balnyard can be made by
cutting of short pieces from logs, a foot more
in diameter, and setting them upon end in a
shallow trench. Such a walk from the barn 10

ing the labor required to keep everything neat

Culture of Wheat.

GelmnltOWn TcIeEfHEh.
The greatest enemy of the wheat crop is too
much water. 1t may be said that the wheat
root is more susceptible to injury from too much
water than many Of us believe To be sure.
there is general impression that an overdose of
water is bad but the full force of the impression
is seldom felt as it deserves to he. Water lying
around roots does not always kill wheat plants,
were intended to take part in doing. If any ono
will dig up a wheat plant in the spring which has
stood all winter in wet place he will see exact
ly how this is. Only living roots close to the
surcace, and all below this may be injured The
English seem to understand this water injury
better than wo do and provide against it on
wheat lands by numerous burrows in some
cases of fattish land one twentieth of tho

would say, they 1t us considerably i'll

The Medal To BE Presented to Miss Kate
Shelly by the Iowa Legislature.
Dies NOISES, Jan. 1.-The Iowa Legislature is
to present Kate Shelly, on Jan 10, the day on
which it will take possession Of the new capital,
with handsome medal of the value of $3.50 and
5000 in money, in recognition of her heroic act
in preventing, the night of July g. 1881, at the
risk Of her life, disaster on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad near AIOingona, Ia, which
would have resulted, but for her, in an appalling
loss of human life. The medal has been prepared
by Tiffany q Co., of New York, and represents
Kate in the act decreasing the railway bridge over
the Des Mones river Above are the words
''Heroism, Youth, Humanity on the reverse of
thmedal is the following inscription: Presented
by the State of Iowa to Kate Shelly, with the
thanks of the General Assembly. In recognition
of the courage and devotion Of a child of fifteen
years, whom neither the terror of the elements
the fear of death could appal in her efforts
save human life during the terrible storm and
flood in the Des Aloines valley on the night of
July 6, 1851
Congressman Holmes, to whose efforts this
action of the Iowa Legislature is largely due,
hopes to secure in addition to the small sum
voted by the Legislature enough money to pay
for the education of Kate Shelly. Her family
are poor. The father, who was section fore
man of the Chicago d Northwestern railroad,
was killed in an accident about ten years ago.
The mother has since then endured many hard
ships and p1,ivations in the endeavor to bring up
her five children. An effort will be made to re
heve them as far as practicable, and an appeal is
to be made to the public for that purpose.

How to DisappOint Il BalISy Horse.


Leominster farmer recently broke his horse
of a ''balky" freak in very quiet, and, as he
claims, not cruel manner His horse is in ex-
cellent flesh, and shows no signs of neglect on
the part of his master. He drove him, attached
to rack wagon, tothe wood-lot fora small load of
wood. The animal would not pull pound. He
did not beat him with club, but tied him to a
tree and ''let him stand" He went to the lot at
sunset and asked him to draw, but .he would
not straighten Il tug. 81 made up my mind"
said the farmer ''when that horse went to
the barn he wpuld take that load of wood.
The night was not cold. l went to the barn,
got blankets and covered the horse warm, and
he stood until morning. Then he refused to
draw. AT noon l went down and he was proba
bly, hungry and lonesome. He drew that load of
wood the first time | asked him | returned got
another load before ! fed him. l then rewarded
him with Il good dinner, which he eagerly de
voured. | have drawn several loads since. Once
he refused to draw, but as soon as he saw me
start for the house he started after me with the
load a horse becomes lonesome and discon-
tented when left alone, as much so us person,
and claim this method, if rightly used is far
less cruel and is better for both horse and man
than to beat the animal with club"

penetrated and weakened in every part.
Those who have read thus far win have recog
nized this enemy as rust, rot or decay, tho most
active promoter Of whichis oxygen. This invisible
gas forms one fifth of theentire bulk ofthe air and
eight-ninths of the weight of all the water on the
globe. While of the greatest value in the econ
omy of life, it is also destructive agent of the
most untiring kind Yet its rayfiges are easily
checked in many instances. A thin covering Of
some oil will perfectly protect steel and iron from
It's action. A coat Of paint good enough to keep
water from soaking into wood will protect it from
decay almostindefinitely In thefar West, where
building is somewhat more expensive than in the
East farmers are disposed to leave their farm tools
out of doors the year round. Such men are
making great mistake. If they are not able
to afford shelter for their TOOLS they can buy II
gallon of paint, which, if carefully applied to
the woodwork will go long way toward pro
tecting it from decay. 1t is certain that if the
farmers of any State would eXpend 81 900
for paint next year for this purpose they
would save $40, 900, now likely to be utterly lost
If any thinks this overstated, let him look
around among his neghbors, and see the
hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of
machinery that is going to ruin from decay
which little paint would prevent. Here at
least in the protection of farm implements a
penny saved is as good as q penny canned
