use this method of planting corn be-
cause it is decidedly the cheapest way to

just as easily as if the corn was listed,

In all cultivation for small grain CT BPS,

A DOMESTIC EPISODE.

~You've ceased to love me, John, fear.
A great change has come over you;
You do not sit beside me, dear.
And hug me as you used to do!
sYou used to praise my eyes, my hair,
And often kiss my lip and brow
When we sat on one rocking chair
Dear John, why don't you do SO now?
''You used to call me your delight.
Said you were proud my love to win,
And kept me at the gate at night
Till ma would come and call me in.
"You called me then your ownest own,
Your popsy pet you did, YOU know;
That happy time is past and gone
All, dearest, what has changed you sOf
John laid his paper on his knee.
And hove sigh, and said: Il fear
Whatever changes there may be
You've brought about yourself, my dear
"This much. ut least you must confess;
Whenever my visits would pay,
You did not meet me i'm the dress
In which you'd been at work all day.
s'Your hair was not in paper curls.
Your slippers Tapping on your feet;
You were the prettiest of girls,
With everything about you neat.
"a snow-white collar then you'd wear,
At your throat a pretty bow,
"A flower of some kind in your hair
Now, darling, what has changed you soY'

Melting Snow With Salt.

The Journal DIES Debats publishes
statistics as to the cost of removing the
snow in Paris by the process of melting
with salt and then sweeping it away
down the sewers. The salt costs 26s. q
ton delivered at the railway station,
whence it is distributed to the depots in
different parts of the city. In the storm
of the 10th of December last snow fell
to a depth of about three inches and a
half. The expense of dealing with this
fall was E9,OOO; of this sum about
FL, 100 represents the cost of the salt;
the rest is for labor and horse hire. The
salt needs to lie for about two hours be-
fore it has melted the snow sufficiently
to enable brooms to go to work. The
system, which has been applied in Paris
since 1881, is not available for macada-
mixed roads, as the brine soaks into the
road and rots and disintegrates it.

The reason is, that while in private
homes families have so much to keep them
busy, in these promiscuous and multi
tudinous residences there are so many who
have nothing to Go, and that always makes
mischief. They gather in each others
rooms and spend hours in consultation
about others. If they had to walk half
mile before they got to the willing ear Of
some listener to detraction, they would get
out of breath before reaching there, and not
feel in full glow Of animosity or Islander,

within easy flight of every colony of
bees in America, there are waste lands
enough, covered with mighty brambles,
burdocks. fennels, mullins, rag-weeds,
etc., which it would pay to seed with
suitable plants for producing honey.
Many of the best plants require but little
or no cultivation, after scattering the
seed; and even the poorest honey pro-
ducers would be more agreeable to the
eye on such waste land than sand burrs,
brambles. fennels, and other weeds
which grow spontaneously on roadsides
and waste places.
In view of the uncertainty of sufficient
continuous bloom being provided by ma
ture. and the certainty of annually re-
curing periods of cold weather, long
and hazardous conference.-the insure
success, the apiarist should as carefully
and certainly provide pasturage for the
bees as to furnish them with hives to
shelter them from the cold and storms.
Do you ask: Twill il pay to plant for
honey?" Let me reply by asking if it
does pay to keep bees to gather honey
at all? If you answer yes, then let me
assert-the more bloom, the more honey
for the bees to gather; the more honey
gathered. the more honey for the mar
ket; the more honey sold, the more
money for the bee-keeper, and the bet
ter the business will pay.
To illustrate this point: If honey
flow of thirty days (Which constitutes an
average honey season. one year with
another) will pay-will not one hundred
and fifty days pay five times as much?
If by judicious planting we can length
en- the honey season, do We not thereby
correspondingly increase the honey
crop? And does not this increase of the
marketable honey crop correspondingly
increase the income of tho apiarist, and
add just that much to the material
wealth of the nation?
