Mired Farming.

A writer in the Country Gentle
man says: "The old argument in
favor mixed farming bothered me
for a while-that if it is poor sea-
son for one crop, or you have poor
luck with it, or some other crop may
succeed. 1 finally made up my
mind that poor luck was largely due
to the carelessness Of the farmer
himself, and that this carelessness
was caused. to a great extent, by his
trusting to his mixed farming, and
the idea that some crops would turn
out well enough to keep him, any
way. 1t seemed to me as though II
a farmer did his best in every re-
spect, he had no more to fear from
poor luck OF poor seasons, on the
average, if he raised one Or two
crops tor which his soil was partic
ularly adapted, than he would if he
had raised ten or twelve crops, some
of which, perhaps, were not particu-
larry adapted to his soil, and then
by raising fewer crops he would get
rid of the worry and clashing and
unproftrble drudgery, and he could
devote his time persistently to the
making of the most possible out OF
his specially. This view of the case
is we'll presented, to say the least,
and its argument is worth consider
ing.

Setting Out Cabbage Plants.

Setting out plants during rain,
is desirable, inasmuch as the eyapo-
ration is moderate. Setting them
out before a rain is still better.
Cloudy weather, with the atmos
phere full of moisture, is equally adj
vantageous. If the roots are kept
intact, or if the roots which are brok-
en- off from the tips are kept so moist
that they will speedily callOus over
and then throw out fresh roots, the
plants will suck up water from the
soil and "hardly feel the moving"
But if, on the other hand, the tibrous
roots are allowed to shrivel up, they
had better be removed altogether
and let the stem throw out new ones.
In regard to whether it is better to
set out the plants as soon as poss-
bic, or to let them wilt in the cellar,
much will depend on the weather.
1t may be that fresh plant, full of
sap, by exposure after transplant
ing, to our hot sun may shrivel up so
rapidly that the leaves nay be re-
duced to a powder aed the plant de-
s'royed before the roots have time
to callous over and throw out new
fibres to suck up water from the soil.
In the shade in cool, moist place,
the leaves part with their sap slow
ly and the roots heal over and when
set out new roots are formed before
the comparative dry leaves part
with the thicker aud richer sap

The RtUer Drivers.

Dangerous and laborious, the cal
ling of the river driver may be, but
the excitement, the swing, the ad-
venture of the life, give it a charm
for a tough, steel-nerved man. He
may have passed his youth on the
bank of a Maine River and many a
spring have seen the lumbermen
frolicking among the slippery logs
with pike poles, pushing through
the water in swift batteau and tell
ing smoking yarns around the en-
bers of the camp fire. His father
may have been driver and taught
him to drive caulks into his boot
soles and tread ON rolling, treacher-
GUS sticks with as much ease and
confidence as you walk on street
pavement. There are men on the
drives whom you could not hire to do
anything but work in the woods dur
the winter and on the rivers in the
the summer.
The river driver is compensated
for his hardships and risks by good
wages aud four meals day. His
pay has declined with all other
values, but a good man on a drive
now gets $3.50 a day and works
seven days in the week, III flush
days, wages were up to $3.50 or 81.
The magnitude of the of the drivers
work may be estimated from the
fact that on the PenobscOt alone,
$4,000, 900 feet of timber are to be
floated down to the booms, and to
do it a thousand men will be employ
ed. On the Kennebec nearly as
many feet more are to be t1oated to

Found One.

A pretty young mamma, with a
little girl by her side nearly as pref
ty as herself, was being entertained
by a male stranger, who had struck
up an acquaintance through the us
ual and always convenient medium
ship of the little girl. The stranger
did all the talking. He was one of
these men who think they know ev-
erything, but only rarely get a
chance to tell it. The lady answer
ed only in monosyllables. The little
girl listened patiently and demurely
for a time, and then began to fidget
around in her seat. Finally, as the
stranger stopped for breath, she
said
mamma, you've found one, amt

"What my dear I"
"Why, don't you remember what
you told papa when he said you'd be
lonesome on the carsi You said

Mamma looked out of the window
and the stranger suddenly thought
he had better 60 into the smoking
car to find his friend.
