TIE OUTSIDE DOG.

You may sing OF your dog, your bottom dog,
Or OF any dog that you please;
go for the dog, the nice old dog,
That knowingly takes his ease.
And Wagging his tail outside the ring,
Keeping always his bone in sight
Cares not pin in his sound old head
For either dog in the fight.
Not his is the bone they are fighting for,
And why should my dog sail in
With nothing to gain, but certain chance
To lose his own precious skim
There may be few, perhaps, who fail
To see it quite in this light;
But when the fur flies had rather be
The outside dog in the fight.
l know there are dogs, injudicious dogs,
That think it is quite the thing
To take the part OF one of the dogs,
And go yelping into the ring.
But care not pin what all may say
In regard to the wrong or the right,
My money goes as well as my song,
For the dog that keeps out of the fight.

JAMES G. ROBINSON, of Spring
field, H., has a little granddaughter
whose governess is a stanch Methodist.
A few months ago she visited con-
vent in Indiana in company with an
aunt and the latter's little daughter.
The last mentioned child told one of
the sisters that she was a Catholic,
and the sister piously exclaimed:
'sThank God for that !" and turning to
Mr.. Robinson's granddaughter she in
quired: "And little one, what are
your" "I'm q Mefodus, thank God
for that" was the reply, which aston
ished her aunt as much as it amused
the pious sister.

A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer writes: Why will farmers keep
planting corn on poor land, and get
from 20 to 30 bushels per acre, when
they can get Is just as we'll, by the use
of clover and rye? One of my neigh
bors had Is acres of poor, worn-out
land; could not grow 20 bushels per
acre. The springof 1882 it was sowed
TO oats and mammoth clover. The
season was good for the clover, so that
in the summer of 1888, there was g.
heavy crop of it. In October, 1882,
he turned this clover under with a
three harrow sulky pillow. The spring
of 1884 it was pulverized with disk
harrow, 6 inches deep, and planted to
corn; result, 80 bushels per acre. Last
season, though not as good for corn,
this field yielded 70 bushels per acre.
You see he only lost one season with
clover, and has gained more than 200
per cent. Another neighbor has
brought up O. poor piece of land from
Is bushels per acre to 60 bushels per
acre, by sowing rye in the corn in Au-
gust, blowing it under the following
May; cost of seed, so cents per acre.
I am going to try, the present season,
for 800 bushels on, 3 acres of land.
Will tell you the result next Novem-
Der, with cost per bushel, and how it
was cultivated. 4.a5|0t.i@
