Management of Heavy Sod Land.

The popular idea about an old sod
is that it is necessarily rich. II the old
sod is subject TO overflow, or has not
been so heavily pastured as prevent
it from thickening up this estimate of
fertility may prove correct. But any
one who expects immediate results
from it will very probably he disap-
pointed. It Is only the most enduring
grasses that survive in an old pasture,
and when the field is plowed there en-
sues a struggle for life that battles the
best efforts of the farmer to repress.
The common blue grass Is first cousin
to quack, and though it be turned
to the bottom OF the ftrrOw, its
thread-like roots will send up shoots
to the surface, and unless vigorously
cultivated the field will soon be as
green as before blowing.
Wherever possible, an old sod should
be pIowed in the fall, so that part OF
the decomposition of its roots may
occur In winter while they ared ormant.
The heavy soil turned Up viii be
worked by frost into fine filth by
sprlngtime. And if this has been done
IN the fall there is a further advantage
IN tOp-dressing with manure, which
will thus fertilize the seed bed instead
OF being buried at the bottom Of a
furrow. There Is no danger that this
extra surface fertility will make grass
roots grow more vigorously. The sur
tace-sOwn weeds will indeed be stronger
Tor 1t, but they are easily kept down.
The decompOsing manure win furnish
heat and help to rot the sod more
quickly than it otherwise would.
Two years OF thorough cultivation
will be needed to subdue q tough sod
so as to fit it for seeding with clover.
And under most circumstances such
land should not be kept under cultiva-
ton more than two years without
seeding. In killing out old grass roots
IN a heavy sod a great amount OF plant
food Is made available, and this will
be wasted by washing Of rains and
SHOWS II clover is not sown TO retain
II. Near cities land may be toov alua-
BILE to seed to clover every two or
three years, but this is not the Ioca-
ton where old sod land IS generally

good old Peggotty used to speak al
| Barkls, her husband, as being "a little

| tanning to money. Their wives dread
| asking them for even the amount an
solutely necessary for household ex-
penses. Such wives are ever to be
| pitled, and such husbands should have
| wives like the partner of the penurious
| Mr.. Hat, mentioned in the following
| incident:
Mrs. Halt asked her husband for five
dollars at the breakfast table on Mon
| day morning.
What for!" asked Mr. Halt, aghast.
as he always was at the mention OF
money.
"For household expenses"

"But we eat and wear clothes the

ooh, | s'pose so-more's the pitvI
But | don't see what is to become of
us, II we keep going on in this way"
Mr.. Halt was a comparatively
wealthy man, and Mrs. Halt knew it.
She had gone through a scene like the
above every Monday morning for
nearly twenty years, and was, to use
her own expression, "tired and sick of
it." a plan had been evolving itself
IN her mind for some time. Now she
resolved to execute it.
''Well, James" she said, calmly, q
suppose | can manage to get along
without money this week"
GLAD of it, my DEAR" said James,
Frightening wonderfully. Economy
must be the order of the day in this
house"

Mondays meals were pretty "scrap-
py;" Tuesday were moresO. Mr.. Halt
tried to be jOcOse over his Wednesday
morning breakfast of bread and stale
butter, with weak coffee.
at goes three times as far when it's
made weaker" said Mrs. Halt, cheeri-
ly.
But Mr.. Halt looked very hungry
when he left the table.
Two hours before noon he sent his
wife this note from the office:
Get up one OF your best dinners.
Three gentlemen are coming home with
me-"
''Pll do my best, " shewrote in reply;

Mr.. Halt was proud OF his wife's
culinary abilities. He rushed excited
ly into the dining,room Just before
noon. They've comel" he cried.
''Have they?" asked Mrs. Halt,
serenely. every well, dinner is
ready"
a spotless cloth was on the table.
On it was the best china. and silver, a
plate OF bread crusts and dry crackers,
three cold potatoes, a little odOrous
butter, and dish OF dried peaches.
"Mary!" said 3Ir. Halt.
''Well, james,"
"What does this maan?"

Mr.. Hait's purse and its contents
came flying into his wife's lap.
''Fll interest the gentlemen for an
hour in the library, "hesaid, land you
do your best again, if it takes every
dollar in that purse, and the purse

The result was highly pleasing to
Mr.. Halt, and pleasing to his wife
also, for her husband was never so
"near" again after that.

If you want to make your fowls feel
good and thankful, give them hot corn
for supper-just as hot as they can
eat it. To find out how hot it should
be, pick up a handful, and hold it
tightly in your closed hand; if it
burns, of course it is too hot, but if
after holding it a minute, it makes
your hand feel warm and nice, it is
Just right. TO heat the corn, put it in
an iron pan orkettle in the stove oven
and stir occasionally. Ii your wife
has biscuit in the oven you had bet
ter put the kettle on the back part Of
the stove and stir the corn often.
Mind, now, don't mean that you are
to put water in with the corn; | mean
hot dry corn. II some kernels at the
bottom happen to get scorched, Or even
charred, the hens will eat them and it
will do them good, too" All nonsense
to fuss warming corn? Well, you may
think so, but [ think it is inhuman to
give fowls a supper of cold corn in
cold weather. How would you like
it? II you don't know Just how cold
corn can be, take a handful of cold
corn and hold it in your fist until itgets
warm enough to feel good; and while
you are wondering If your fingers will
freeze before the corn gets warmed
through, ask yourself how you would
feel if your stomach were full of Just
such cold stuff ?-EXcbange.

HOW TO Rent 3 Farm.

In the rental OF property, the greater
risk IS always on the landlords side.
He is putting his property into the
possession and care of another, and
that other is not unfrequently a per-
son of doubtful utility. These rules
and cautions may well be observed.
1. Trust to no verbal lease. Let it
be in writing signed and sealed. It's
stipulatiOns then become commands
and can be enforced. Let il be signed
in duplicate, so that each party may
have an original.
2. Insert such covenants as to re
pairs, manner of use and in restraint
of waste as the circumstances call for.
As to particular stipulations, examine
leases drawn by those who have had
long experience in renting farms, and
adopt such as meet your case.
3. There should be covenants against
assigning and undertaking.
A. If the tenant is of doubtful re
sponsibility, make the rent payable
in installments. A covenant that the
crops shall remain the lessons till the
lessee's contracts with him have been
fulfilled, is valid against the lessee's
creditors. In the ordinary case OF
renting farms on shares, the courts
will treat the crops as the Joint prop
erty OF lord and tenant, and thus pro,
tect the former srights.
5. Every lease should contain stipu-
lations for forfeiture and re entry in
case OF non-payment or breach of any
of the covenants.
6. To prevent tenants committing
waste, the courts will grant an injunc-
ton.
7. Above all be careful in selecting
your tenant. There is more in the
man than there is in the bond.-Law-
yer Brown, to the Connecticut Board
of agriculture.
