BLESS HIS DEAR HEART

! In a very little elegant palace car
entered a weary faced, poorly dress
ed woman with three little children
one baby in her arms. A look
of JOY crept into her face as she
sat down into one of the luxurious
chairs, but it was quickly dispelled
as she was asked rudely to 'start
her boot"
a smile of amusement was seen
On several faces as the frightened
groap hurried out to one of the
common cars. Upon one young
face, however, there was a look
which shamed the countenances OF
the others.
"Auntie," said the boy to the
lady beside him, 81 am going to
carry my basket of fruit and this
box of sandwiches to the poor
woman in the next car. You are
willing, of course!'
"Don't de foolish, dear; you may
need them yourself, and perhaps
the woman is an impostor."
mo, I'll not need them," he an
swered decidedly, but in a very low
tone. '.You know I had hearty
breakfast and don't need lunch.
The woman looked hungry, auntie,
and so tired, too, with three little
babies clinging to her. Ill be
back in minute, auntie; | know
mother wouldn't like it if did mt
speak a kind word to the least Of
these when 1 met them"
The worthy auntie brushed a
tear from her eye after the boy
left her, and said, audibly, "Just
ike his dear mother"
About five minutes later, as the
lady passed the mother and the
three children, she saw a pretty
sight the family feasting as per-
haps they never had done before;
the dainty sandwiches were eager
ly eaten, the fruit basket stood
open. The eldest child, with her
mouth filed with bread ard butter,
said:
WAS the pretty boy an angel,
mammal
NO. answered the mother, and
grateful look frightened her faded
eyes; "but he is doing an. angels
work, bless his dear hearth
And We too, said, "Bless his dear
heart!"

FEBRUARY.
A WESTERN FARMER TALKS
TO THE POINT.

Many centuries ago an old Greek
writer on farming eaid: A farmer
should be 8 seller and not buyer,
This maxim is as good to-day as it
ever was. tits still the business OF
farmer to producefor sale. Some
things he must buy, bat as q rule
he will be the worst for it if he de-
parts from his legitimate business
to trench on that of the dealer by
buying to sell again. In the regions
west of the Missouri Rive: farmers
have to contend with two special
djr:culties: distance from market
aud want of capital. in any new
country the first products are
usually bulky, which aggravates the
difficulties of distance from market.
Not long ago it took the price OF
two bushels of corn to pay for trans.
porting one; that is corn sold for
twenty cents, and it cost forty cents
to send bushel to New York. The
first remedy is to condense products
before shipping. A bushel Of fifty
six pounds of corn may be con
deneed into ten pounds of pork,
which can be freighted anywhere
for less than half it would cost to
ship the corn. Grain may be con-
densed into butter and cheese by
feeding it to COWS. This condensa,
ton leads to other Incidental but
important advantages, notably q
diYersifying of products.
The most marked improvement
in Western farming during the past
decade is in this direction. But
there is still room for more. Many
thousand hogs are shipped alive to
Chicago every year, and their cured
meat is reshipped to the same place
to be retailed. This double ex-
pense of freightage over many hun
dred miles is waste of labor that
ought to be stopped, and would be
but for the scarcity of capital Incl.
dent to new countries. Certainly
every farmer should cure his own
pork. There is absolutely no good
reason why we should import
canned corn from Maine, tomatoes
from Maryland, not to mention
pickles, beans, peas, cheese, crack
ers, etc. These can all be grown,
and prepared here as cheaply as
anywhere. It is safe to say that
three bushels of sweet corn can be
growed in Nebraska for what it
cost to grow one in Maine, and
perhaps the same may be said OF to
matoes. Some OF the idle Eastern
capital might be invested here in
canning factories and other ways
with the certainty of rich return.

PREPAREFOR EARLY VEG
ETABLES.

Plants sufficient for the family
garden can be easily raised, usually
OF better quality than in hot bed
as generally managed, and they
will interest the young people who
always like TO see things grow.
Boxes for the purpose are made of
half-inch stuff well nailed together.
Their length should be suited to
the width of the window, a foot
vice, and the depth Of three or
four inches. In modern houses
window S lis are rarely wide
enough to hold such box, and it
is well to suspend it by means of q
wire at each end. Drive in a screw
near the upper edge of the end of
the box, and near the side the furth-
est from the window, and a CORES
ponding screw in the window casing.
A piece of copper wire twisted
around the screw in the box, and
its other end made fast to that in
the casing, will hold the box securely.
Those who regularly use such
boxes, provide the soil fer them
the autumn before. The lack of
such provision need not deter any
from trying to raise plants in this
manner. Earth from the woods is
a most excellent material for filing
the boxes. This collects in the
hollow places, and can usually be
gathered in mild time, even in
winter. If woods earth is not to
be had, take advantage of thaw,
and scraping mp some garden soil,
place it in heap in the cellar until
it is dry enough to use. If ut all
heavy, it may be made porous by
adding sand, OF, what is better,
fine moss. Procure some sphagnum
or peat moss, such as nurserymen
use for packing; dry it thoroughly,
aud rub througha coarse wire sieve.
One part OF, this fine sifted moss
tc four OF FIVE of soil, makes an ex
eellent material for seed boxes, as
twill not become packed by the
needed waterings. AS a rule, the
seeds should be sown in them about
six weeks before the plant can be
safely set out in the open ground.
When the seedlings are large enough
to handle, usually, when they have
made two rough leaves-those after
the seed leaves-they will need
transplanting into another box of
similar soil, setting them an inch
apart each way. Plant in the boxes
must have water as they need it,
and on warm days they may be set
outside in sunny sheltered place,
brinl ing them in before the air be-
comes chilly. The vegetables usu.
ally started in window boxes are
early cabbages, caulifowers, lettuce,
and tomatoes; in April, egg plants
and peppers may be thus sown.-

FAST JUDGE AND SLOW
JUDGE.

When I was a young man l spent
several years in the South, residing
fer awhile at Fort Gibson, on the
Mississippi river. A great deal OF
litigation was going on there about
that time, and it was not always an
easy matter to obtain jury. One
day I was summoned to act in this
capacity, and repaired to court to
get excused. On my name being
called, I informed his honor, the
Judge, that l was not a freeholder,
and therefore not qualified to serve.
Il am stopping for the time be-
ing at this place"
''You board at the hotel, I pre-
sume?'
II take my meals there, but have
rooms at another part of the town,
where | lodge"
$50 you keep bachelors hall?"
Yes, sir
"How long have you lived IN that
manner?"
"About six months"
II think you are qualified, grave
ly remarked the Judge, ''for have
never known man to keep bache-
lor's hall the length of time you
name who had not dirt enough in
his room to make him freeholder.
The court does not excuse you"
