Nightly Visits OF an Apple-Greeu Musician
toa Toiier After Dark.

toa ToiIer After Dark.
IT. Lancey in September ST. Methodist
One sultry night. in Indiana, | sat busily
writing upstairs close to an open window.
My lamp, placed upon my desk, attracted
countless numbers OF the insect world that
come out TO see Their friends only after
dark; there was a constant buzz around
the lamp, and many scorched victim. fall
ing on its back, yainly kicked its little legs
in the air.
Suddenly clear, low whistle sounded
from the window; whistle somewhat
like the sound made when boy blows into
the orifice Of trunk KEY. Startled for a
moment. turned my chair and beheld on
the window-sill little tree-frog gravely
looking at me. His skin, Of an exquisite
pale apple-green color, shone in the lamp
light. Fearful that ! might brighten him
away, sat motionless In the chair. watching
him intently. Presently he gave another little
whistle as clear and sharp as blrd-nOte.
He was evidently making up his mind that
was to be trusted "a confidence not mis-
placed. and soon he gave an easy spring
and was on the desk before me. | hardly
dared to breathe, lest he should be alarmed.
He looked at me carefully for a few min
utes; and then, hopping under the lamp,
he began slaughter OF the insect creation.
such as had never before witnessed. He
captured in fash any careless fly or moth
that came near him, declining to touch the
dead ones that had cremated themselves
After half an hours enjoyment OF this
kind. my apple-green friend hoped rather
lazily across the desk, repeated the whistle
with which he had entered. as II to say
good night, and went out into the dark. /
proceeded with my work and soon forgot
my visitor. But Judge my surprise when
on the next night he again appeared. again
signalled his coming with his musical cry.
and again took up bis position under nv
lamp.
For nearly three weeks did nv small
friend visit my room nightly, and he and /
became great friends. House-fiies were bjs
special dellcacy. Stealthily crawling up
the painted wall, cllnging to the smooth
surface with the little disks or suckers on
his feet, he would draw close up to his body
first one leg and then the other, and wbea
within proper distance he would dart for.
ward, and, snatching the fly, would swing
head downward, his hind-feet firmly glued
TO the wall. Then. attaching his fore. feet.
he would move on In quest OF another.
He never missed his aim. and he would
quietly and calmly zigzag up and down the
side wall after every ny be saw there. He
became quite accustomed TO me, and would
hop on my hand, and sit there looking at
me with grave composure ludicrous to
behold.

Making a Farm seIfsupporting

The great secret of ali successful FARM
ing is to make the land produce sufficient
for the outlay of capital and labor, and
have balance on hand each year. This
is business and farming for profit.
When farmer finds that his land is not
paying interest on capital invested he
should take a candid view of the situa-
ton and ask himself the cause, and by
thus doing he will arrive at the solution
of why farming does not pay or is not
self-supporslng. The primal cause he
will find is poor land and badly cultivated
soil. There is no use, gentlemen, going
through the mechanical operation of plOw-
ing, narrowing and sowing seed on land
that has not got the proper elements of
plant food to raise a crop. 1t is very little
use of a man buying costly and numerous
machines, as he must at the present time,
to farm but poor land. The same ma
chlnery is only required to raise so bush
els to the acre that would only bring 10
bushels on poor, undrained and badly
kept land. Poor farms improperly cult
waited and managed won't pay for the i'm
plements and labor, and hence cannot be
self-suppOrting. 1t is great fallacy to
think any man can farm and that any
man can make money out of farm. The
greatest diligence is required at the pre-
sent time to prosecute farming with any
degree of success; unless more intelli-
gence and business is thrown into it.
Like every other calling the profits are
increased according to the business tact
and intelligence OF the operator. But
there is more steady money in farming
than any other business. The returns
may be slow, but they are sure and GER
tain, and not only should they be self
supporting, but by proper management a
good margin Of profit can be had.-Ex-
ChdRQe.
