Save the Corn Stalks.

OF the many things / admire in my
German neighbor, none excite my re-
spect more than the very successful way
in which he manages his corn stalks.
His plan does not differ from that
generally adopted. He husks his corn
in the field, ties the stalks into bundles.
stands these bundles into stocks, and
when dry, draws them into the barn, or
makes them into high, narrow stack,
that is pretty much all roof. The
Deacon and l do the same thing. The
only difference is, that we propose to
draw them in tomorrow, or the next
day, or as soon as convenient, and the
result is, that something happens to
postpone the work, and before We know
It the stalks are wet, and we must wait
until they get dry again. And some
times we repeat this process Of waiting
for convenient time, and November
snow finds the stalks still in the field.
Not so Mr.. Jacobs. He docs not wait.
His stalks are frequently secure in the
barn or stack, before some of lis com
meacc to husk. His cows and young
stock are in the field, picking up the
stray ears and scattered fodder, before
they are injureed by the rain, and before
we realize what has been done, the field
il narrowed TO level down the stubbs,
and the next day the boys are plowing,
and getting the land ready to SOW barley
next spring. JOSEPH HARRIS in Am.

In these days, when so much atten-
ton is given to "civil service reform"
and the merit system, in filling various
offices and clerkships in Governmental
iepartments-National, State, Munich
pal, etc.-it may be well to inquire
the rules adopted in these are
not, applicable, at least to some extent,
to the engagement of employees in in
dustrial pursuits, and notably to that Of
the leading occupation of the country,
If farmers, everywhere, will resolve
to employ only industrious, skillful and
men, or the best that can
possibly be obtained, and require
strangers, who apply for work, to pre-
sent strong recommendation as to char
acter and competency, the difficulty
may be measurably overcome. But in
order to render this plan practicable,
and of benefit 10 those especially inter
ested, farmers must scrupulously regard
Gutl blilClS lhAGlGsAs VI cAaiLllNf llp
one who desires to do as he would be
done by, should recommend, either
verbally or in writiugl a person that
he would not himself emI loy-a thing
which is often done by prominent people
OF various occupations, either from
kndness,or to get rid of applicants. This
is a matter about which farmers should
be extremely careful, lest they do injury
to other employers, by influencing them
te engage men who prove incompetent,
or otherwise Objectionable, Whenever
feasible, 1t would be well for farmers to
organize, or have an understanding
about the employment Of farm hands,
for mutual protection against the i'm
positions Of pretended skilled laborers,
who are really incapable, if not idle and
vicious-D. ID. T. MOORE in 1m. Agri-

A Boys Trick in Nuting.

The brown nuts are falling, and the
boys are 'hot-foot'' for them,so we viii
tell them a trick which we learned last
year, but too late to tell it to our young
readers We noticed, day after day,
two boys going to the woods, carrying
bag and a clothes-llne, and saw than
return In short time with the bag well
filed. We followed, to see whether
their good luck was due TO accident,
activity, or their wits. They used the
line in this way--selecting tree in the
open, on which the nuts were ripe and
the shucks opened by the frost; they
shook the tree by climbing into it, and
shaking and jarring the branches in the
usual way, by stamping and clubbing.
Still the finest nuts seem to stick to
outermost branches. To get these, was
a stroke Of genius, and the clothes-line
and little "mothcr-wit" we're brought
into play, The boy in the tree threw
the line over q promising branch, 60
that both ends reached the ground, The
boy on the ground made one end fast 10
a sapling at a suitable distance, and
then drawing the other end as taunt as
possible, made 1t also fast around the
trunk of small tree, he tugged at
the line after fastening it, and then took
Up the slack. The bough, Of course,
was swayed down. Then he tugged and
tugged, and took up the slack again,
until the line was almost as tant as a
bow-string, Then he beat the line with
a club, as hard as he could strike, and
with each clip, down came the nuts.
Finally he uufastened one end, and
drew it off with some difficulty, to be
sure, over the ends of the branch,
sweeping off lot of nuts that still held
on. Thus the principal branches were
stripped. They we're lively boys and
did very little loafng, but their energy
was pretty we'll repaid,-Am. Agricul-
tuist.

Observations on O Kitten.

Scarcely, however, has he flown with

the corn, treading as stealthily as a
panther from the jungle, and her kitten
at her heels, equally intent upon the
still hunt. Robin was not q moment
too quick nor thought too suspicious.
Alack! in what sin that kitten is being
brought up! Can this be the meek i'm
nocent which an hour ago was lying
at the door step with its mother and lit
tie sister, the impersonation of eherubic
animality, gamboling with the glee of
conscience void of offense, and untaint,
ed by thought other than Of peace and
fellowship with the twittering birdsP
Look at her stealing along on velvet
footsteps, with wicked light in her
eye, every muscle rigid with unhallowed
rapacity, her brief tail squirming with
excitement. o, thou little Agag, tread
ing delicately, how could hew thee ~
pieces before the Lord! But stop, .
man: who art thou that judgest anoth-
err Has not this creature, who was
made with taste for game, as much
right to hunt for living as you have
to put buckshot into little birds, or
ragged hooks into little tishesp Not
you, as an individual, to be sure. You
do not happen to be endowed with the
dynamic laziness necessary for q
sportsman. But you eat grcedily
enough what others kill. Why should
you bless those Esaus for their savory
meat, and curse this Jacob of kitten
for looking out for himselfp Look to

The Dying Dolphin's Beauty,

John L. Birge, formerly of this city
and who accompanied party OF Iro'
jams on a fishing excursion at Fire
Island Beach, says in letter to friend
in this city: But tonight we still hold
the banner as the champion fishers OF
Fire Island, having caught recently,
about seven miles from the lighthouse,
a dolphin weighing between fourteen
and fifteen pounds, the first one that
has been caught here by any boat in
five years. We had it broiled for sup
per and sent around to the tables whore
we had acquaintance. 1t is rather
dry fish, by no means equal in flavor to
a Spanish mackerel, but very good eat
ing. Now, am going to tell you how
we caught it, and though fish story
it is literally true. Harry Oh. b.
Dauchy) had the outrigger and had
omitted to fasten the stick. The line il
wound on so the loop in the end of the
pole was all that held it. Suddenly
came q big strike, bending the pole sc
the loop slipped off and away went fish
and tackle. A general shout of dismay
when in an instant Mrs. Dauchy, who
had the inside line on the same side OF
the boat, said: Il have a fish, We lei
the boat come to and began pulling in.
10! and behold-her squid had caught
the stick of Harry's tackle and she mad
saved both tackle and fish. Joel pulled
him alongside of the boat and landed
him with gaff-hook.
Talk of beautiful colors! The 'dy-
ing dolphin is no vision of the poets
fancy. In the water all exquisite blue, .
,o6
gold color with black spots, then in
another moment turning to silver with
blue spots, then blue with purple spots,
and finally to perfect mother-of. pearl
with blue spots, the great back fin being
an exquisite peacock blue."-7roy
