a veteran Observers Remarks About tbs
Care and Treatment of Both.
In journeying through the Western
States | have noticed a certain kind of
economy practiced by dairymen as well
as other farmers, in housing farm i'm
plements under the clouds of Heaven.
L is broad shelter, but somehow tools
do not last quite as long, so housed, as
when put under a shingled roof. The
clouds do not always hold water. They
leak, and the tools get wet. The parts
made of iron and steel rust and become
rough and run heavily, and wear out
quickly, and the woodwork swells and
shrinks, and warps out of place, and
soon decays, and the tools are rendered
useless.
have often seen costly machines
plows, eultivators, drills, mowers, reap
erS, and occasionally thresher, stand
ing by the side of barn-yard. or where
they We're used last, and where they
will probably remain till wanted for use
again. The Western States and Terri
tories are great country, and they do
business there in large way. The farm
ers there are great hands for buyiag
tools, and they must needs have large
place to store them, but their broad, IN
fenced lots are little too large. Tools
would be better off in snugger quarters
and under tight roof, if it be only of
boards. Upon asking the owners of
these exposed tools why they do not
house them | have sometimes been
answered that it costs more for buildings
to shelter them than to buy new tools
Though such answers may have been
sincere, | do not believe they are true.
In many of the newly settled localaties,
lumber is scarce and high, but tools
are also costly. The price of one extra
mower would pay for lumber enough
to shelter all the tools needed for a
half section of land for long series OF
years, and would save its cost many
times over in the preservation of other
tools than the mower, to say nothing
of loss of time, and trouble and vexation
upon finding the exposed implements
out OF order when wanted for use. For
all implements composed wholly OF
partly of wood with joints in them.
hot sunshine and dry winds are nearly
as injurious as rain. Clouds may do
some good by protecting tools against
the sun, but l very much doubt the
propriety or necessity of using them to
the extent practiced in some parts of
the West. | have noticed that the
dairymen who shelter their mowers and
other valuable tools under the clouds,
and stable their COWS under the same
cover, are always among those who say
clarifying does not pay" and who are
always having losses in their stock,
and deal of bad luck in other ways.
Men who are so oblivious of their own
welfare as to suffer heavy losses con-
tinually by neglecting to care for their
tools, will be neglectful of their inter-
ests in other respects as well, and be
very sure to be behindhand and always
in trouble. On the other hand, there
is no better evidence of Independence.
intelligence, and thrift, than to see ia
farmers tools and animals all snugls

An exchange says that Kansas
farmer who had nine head of sheep, put

There is this element in the stock

1t is that the man who produces a
choice or fancy grade of beef is paid

true of the raising of horses, wool,
mutton sheep and, in less degree, rf
pork, while the same holds good in
horticultural productions.
Very rich and heavy soils are in
most cases inferior to the loamy or
gravelly soils for fruit growing. On
these lighter soils the trees ripen their
wood better, grow less rapidly and give
better favored fruit than those grown
on very rich soils. Usually the best
fruit lands are those which are natural
~ light, but which are kept up by a
judicious system of cultivation and
manurirg. Troy Times.
Bread Pudding: One pint of stale
bread, one quart of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of salt, three tablespoonful of
sugar and two eggs. Soak the bread and
milk together two hours, then mash fine
with the back of the spoon; beat eggs,
sugar and salt together, and addto the
bread and milk; turn into the pudding
dish and bake in slow oven for forty
five minutes. Run knife or'the handle
of spoon down the center of the pud-
ding. If it does not look milky it is
done. Cover the top of the pudding
with meringue. Boston Globe.
Let no one despair of having fresh

CHAPTER v.

The entire country rang with my
praises. There were no sensational
daily papers in those days, or would
have indeed been far-famed hero.
The Judge took me warmly by the
hand when told him how l loved
Jassamine, and said:
You have made noble fight, my
boy. When you presented those letters
| OF recommendation, knew that you
were generous and brave, even though
others thought differently. / have for
sometime known that Jassamine loved
you, but knew that, with her foolish
ideas of chivalry, she would not marry
you after your refusal of the challenge
unless you could do something to re-
deem yourself"
Jassamine and I were married with
great ceremony. All of the neighbors
were invited. Whole calves were bar
becued; and, it seemed. whole distill-
cries were turned loose. Shortly after
our marriage, we moved to Little Rock,
then flourishing town. My business

removal to Little Rock, Jasper Patter-

THE NEW CORPORATION COUNSEL.

George =. Andrews, the present Cooperation
Counsel, will ascend the Supreme Court bench
in a few days, and Mayor Edison will have the
appointmcnt of his successor This is place to
be filed with exceeding care. The Corporation
Counsel of this great municipality should be a
lawyer of the highest standing at the bar, of UNI
sullied record, of broad mlnd, of thorough grasp
of legal principles and profound knowledge of
municipal law, and above all n man of inheXiblc
Independence. 1t is a place of such dignity and
scope as to be well worthy the ambitions of our
ablest and best men.
The Mayor cannot afford 10 select for such an
Office anyone who is seeking it with "uncom-
mon anxiety" His choice should not DO from
among the attorneys who are graSping at this
prize for the sake of the salary or the patron
age. He should keep clear of the class whose
claim to confidence is bounded by the lines of q
faction and whose reputation is based on ser
vices to cliqucs and Bosses" 1t is his plain
duty not to appoint to this high Office any per-
son now in the public service who has shown
himself more faithful to partisan ties than to
the interests of the people; who has been moro
diligent to protect bis friends than to protect
the public; who has misused all the resources
of his position to cover the disgraced chief of a
discredited faction from Indictment, and has
prevailed upon a Grand Jury to inhict no
severer punishment upon guilty Commissioner
than unsparing censure.
1t is certainly time when the Mayor is called
upon to exercise especial care in his appoint
nents. With the calamity that has fallen upon
the City Chamberlain before his eyes. he cannot
fail to see the necessity of filling the great city
Offices with men of the highest character, who
cannot be seduced into unsayOry speculations or
suspicious alliances. We want Corporation
Counsel whose hands have never been soiled,
and who will keep them clean from every stain
of private interest and partisan intrigue. IL is
