A LITTLE MOTHER.

She had so many children she really
did not know what to do. The home
was too small or the family too large
she could not tell which Then there was
Il good deal of unhappiness about dinners.
If there were not quite so many of them,
everything would be lovely and the dim
ners quite delightful.
She pondercd this matter long and
earnestly in her sober fashion, for she
was not talkative mother. Now the lit
tie mother knew there were other houses
not far away where there were no chill
dren. Perhaps, if she took some of her
family to the other houses, the folks
would take them in and give them all
good homes She knew the people very
we'll though she had never really spoken
to any of them. What better than to
take her babies there, and leave them in
the care of these good people? So she
started off one day with three of her ba-
bies.
They could toddle along after her, and
were eager enough to go. She walked
lust as fast as she could, and when they
reached the next house the poor things
were tired out, and lay down on the door
step, as much as to say they really
could not go any farther. The little
mother seemed to think it was all right
and started to the next house. One
of these babies couldn't leave his mother,
and though very tired. followed slowly
after her.
Presently the little mother reached the
| next house, and her baby came trotting
after, and the moment he reached the
place he lay down and fell fast asleep.
Poor thing! he was very tired. The
| folks in the house came out to look at
| him, and the little mother said as plainly
as she could, she is a good child, and !
will give him to you if you will take good
care of him." The people seemed to un-
derstand her feelings perfectly and said
the baby could stay The next day she
took two more of her babies, and going
down the road in the opposite direction
| she left one at farmhouse and one al
the cottage of widow woman.
There were three children left at home
and these she decided to keep. But the
next day the strangest thing happened
two of the babies who had gone to othe;
| homes came back. The little mother
was not pleased with this, and carried
them back again, as much us to say thai
she wished them to stay in the nice homes
she had provided for them. After thai
she visited her absent children once q
week, and talked to them in her quiet
way, and even played with them to keer
them contented She was indeed a wise
and thoughtful mother, though only :
beautiful setter with eight small pups.

Cassus Chief was foaled September, 1875. His
color is golden chestnut; stands fifteen and three
feurths hands high, and weighs 1,l00 pounds. lie
is powerful traveller, and IS rare combination OF
superior business qualities, speed style, kindness
and endurance. Hitched to buggy he will show
better than 2.4o gait any time
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Chief was sired by Bal
lard's old Cassius Nj. Clay, he by Andrew jackson,
he by Young Bashaw, he by Grand Bashaw.
His dam is thoroughbred Morgan; was sired by
the Yettin Horse, he by ranc, he by Sherman, he
by the original Justin Morgan. She is nine
teen years old, sound and spirited rs a colt. Her
dam owned by Dea. William Spencer, of
Bloomington. She was of the finest mares in
that section.
1t will be seen from the above that Cassius Chief
unites the best blood of the Morgans with that of
the Clays. The latter are now the leading horses
of the day 1t is well known fact among horse
breeders that it is by crossing with Clay mares that
other popular breeds have got their sthunder'

To Whom it May Concern:
This may certify that am acquainted with Mr..
David Hazen's stock horse, and know his sire and
dam, and have one of his colts and have quite
a number of them. L consider him one of the best
stock horses in my knowledge. He is horse that
has more good qualities than most horses: speed,
size, muscular strength and great powers of endur-
ance. / can cheerfully recommend him to breeders
of good horses. consider him better stock horse
than his sire, Cassius Clay. j. S. WOOD.
The Hazen Stallion is a very promising horse and
a very fine stopper, and also good getter, which
has been proved in this vicinity by his stock.

THE TERMINATION OF CORN.

DR.. Sturtevant makes some valuable
suggestions as to planting corn, in a re-
cent bulletin issued from the New York
experiment station at Geneva. In re-
gard to seed corn rotting in the ground
the doctor says: cit is a safe recon-
mendation for the farmer to use increased
carefulness in selecting seed, and to far
ther advise that in selecting seed, the
corn which has been in contact with
moldy cobs, or which comes from bin
in which mold has made, at any time con-
siderable progress, should be rejected"
While upon the subject of the germina-
ton of corn DR.. Sturtevant remarks, it
may be well to call attention to one Of the
conditions favorable to termination
which is often overlooked; and that is,
the necessity of the soil being in contact
with the seed. Oftentimes, corn that is
planted early, is put into the ground
while the land is in a lampy condition,
and no pressure brought to bear to bring

The open spaces thus left about the seed
tend to retard, and under the varying

the soil was firmly pressed upon the seed
with the foot, and upon the other the
seed carefully covered by means of a hoe
in the ordinary method, was largely in
favor of the trodden plat. This trial was
in accordance with practical experience
in farming, whereby it was found that the
grain in crop through the use of a west
ern corn planter, whose wheel compress
ed the soil over the seed as planted,
compensated largely for the additional
expense of the machine. So much so
that even it may be said that under con-
ditions Of the locality noted, a farmer
could better afford to himself to plant his
corn crop with a machine than to accept
the gift Of the planting with hoe
