New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. May 14.-Governments
dull but steady.
Uncertainty in regard to the forth
coming statement of the New York
Central troubles. of Lake Shore and
Nickle Plate, and an unfavorable state
ment OF the earnings on the st. Paul,
made those stocks conspicuously weak
at the opening to-day. The remainder
of the active list were all within 4 per
cent. of last nights closing figures, but
the market was weak from the begin
ming to the close, with hardly a rally
worthy the name. The market in gen
eral is evidently nothing but traders
market.

DOLLY AND j.

We were schoolfellows, Dolly and l,
At little dame school in tire town close by;
carried her books, and she held my hand
Two innocent children of Gods own band.
We would marry when we grew up, we said,
Grave plans for the time to come we laid
As a small boy l, and wee girl she,
LIZ those bygone days-ah me ali me!
We grew-we were married-Dolly and |,
At the quaint old church in the town close by;
The farm was purchased, the fees were paid
''What blithe young couple J" the neighborE
said.
And so we were till the winds blew bleak,
And chilled the rose on Dolly's cheek,
Like the waning tide of a waveless sea,
Her life ebbed gently-ah me! ah me
IL you want to know why oftimes sigh,
You must come with me to the town close by;
You must see the church where our vows wer'
said, @
And the mound that covers the restful dead.
For my love is sleeping the quiet sleep q
That the Shepherd, gives to His weary sheep
And the world is not what it used to be,
Ere its sunlight faded for her and me.

Improving the Farm.

Orange County Farmer.
The best and shortest way to improve
a farm is to reduce the stock, plow your
fallows in winter so that the soil will be
warm and day and the subson decom-
posed early in the spring. Harrow well
and then SOW ten or twelve quarts of
grass seed to the acre when you put in
your oats. If all take, your chance is
good for obtaining from five to ten acres
of oats and field seeded to grass. Then
prepare as many acres Of rye sowing,
provided your land is not good enough
for wheat and the two crops will give
you all the straw you need and the corn
field, with usual good luck, will produce
enough for fat stock. At the end of the
season you will have the produce from
fifteen or twenty acres of land, repre-
sented in oats, corn and potatoes and as
many acres sown with rye and wheat.
Keep Just stock enough to eat up the
produce in grain and hay, and after
gathering your next years crop of hay
and grain, covering say fifty acres Of
your farm of one-hundred acres you
may think of adding as many head of
cattle as your farm viii sustain without
purchasing very heavily Of foreign sup
plies. By the end of the fourth year
you are ready to put in crop Of wheat
and save plowing up your bottom
meadow, you have re-seeded the whole
farm and are now ready to enlarge your
dairy-and at the expiration of ten years
your land ought to be in condition to
double your crops and the number Of
your cattle. This is rotation.
