1t is very provoking that we

not get there until seven o'clock in

She bit her lip in very genuine
annoyance, as she stood looking
out at the white drifts Of snow
which lay like mantle of royal
ermina ON field and valley,
Mable and Ellie Arran, although
twin sisters, were not at all alike
The former, tall and handsome,
had features like a Cleopatra, and
soft languid eyes Of the deepest
blue, while her magnificent Aaxen
hair surrounded her oval face like
q framework Of gold.
Apart from her beautiful sister,
gentle little Elhe Airau might

Arbitration Best for Farmers.

Arbitration is almost Invariably
preferable to litigation. 1t is not
only the easiest, quickest and
cheapest way to settle Disagree
ments, but saves much yexation
and subsequent dissention. Were
individuals, corporations and ma
tions, to arrange their disputes by
arbitration, instead of resorting to
litigation and warfare, the people
would be saved millions of treas
ure, and the world spared much
shedding Of blood A peaceful
settlement Of difficulties is usually
followed by prosperity, while "go-
ing to law" or war, usually results
III loss and suffering to both con-
testants. Indeed, litigation and
warfare, are twin relics of the
dark ages, and so long as they
continue in vogue, we may look in
vain for harbingers of the promis-
ell millennium. OF all Glasses,
farmers should so far as possible
avoid entering into litigation, for
whether they win or lose, they are
proyerbially worsted, the lawyers
usually taking the cream, and
leaving only the skim-milk to the
winning contestant. Truly, there
is neither glory, nor honor, profit
nor pleasure, i'll litigation, and the
less people who profess to live ION
the square" and according to the
Commandments, have to do there
with, the better it will be for both
their present and future peace and
prosperity Even in the most ag-
cases Of trespass, an
the like, no good citizen should
resort to the law, until Ill AMIGA
BILE attempts at settlement have
failed Indeed, and finally what
ever may be the provocation, don't
get mad, and impulsiyely prose-
cute your neighbor, but keep your
tcmperand arbiirate,

Preparing for Spring Work.

The comparative idleness of
winter makes the horses shout
derB tender, and unless they arc
hardened, blowing will soon make
Them sore. The best hardener Is
strong pure brine. Apply it with
Il rag tied around the end of a cora
cob, Dming the work seatoa,
soon as the collar is removed,
wash the shoulders and apply the
salt water, 1t toughens the flesh,
and also eools the shoulder, allay-
ing all irritation and inflammation.
Discard all collars much worn, and
select new ones now when YOU
have plenty of time. Take the
horse to the harness shop; do not
buy collar until you get one that
fits we'll. 1t is common fault
that one side is harder than the
other; be careful to get collar of
equal frmness throughout, and
not lnmpy, and If 1t fits perfectly,
the firmer it is the better.
Give all the harness an oiling
now, because the oil will be alb
sorbed better lhan when the wealth
er is warm. Take the harness to
pieces and wash it clean with luke
warm water, using Il dull knife
about the buckles to remove the
dirt. Use pure neats-foot oil (you
will have to pay u good price for
it, but nse no other), with enough
caster oil to scent it and keep
the mice away. Apply the oil
moderately warm ON both
sides of the leather, all that
is rapidly absorbed. Then hang
the harness in an airy place to dry
thoroughly. Two oilings of har-
ness, except the collars, year is
enough; but the collars should be
oiled every two weeks during tho
work season, and the sweat and
dirt be removed each morning
with a dali knife. Give the wood
work Of the plows coat of paint.
Mineral paint is very cheap and
answers this purpose as well as
more expensive paints. But use
the best oil If the plows are
dull, take them all to the shop
now, when work is not pressing.
Strengthen weak places. Do not
wait for breaks; they always oc-
cur when the article is in use,
hence when they occasion delay.
Give the whifhetrees the same at
tention recommended for the
plows. About the easiest way to
make dollar is to take time by
the forelock.

Farm Hints For March.

Farm work in March is more
dependent upon the weather and
climate than that of any other
month, and although our southern
readers will be we'll forwarded
with their potato planting, and
even have their spring grain sown,
before the month comes in, wheth-
or it comes like lion" or "like
~ lamb" we of the frigid North
may have still three feet of frost
in the ground, and perhaps good
sleighing up to the twenty-ffth,
north-easters lasting week,
spring floods, and roads which
neither horses feet nor wagon
wheels can find bottom in, may be
the order of the day, SO hints
about work must be taken with
liberal allowance for the hayward
ness of this first spring, md last
winter month.
New seeds and new tools should
not be lost sight Of, and it will Oft
en- pay to test the former in small
quantities; then if they do well,
you will have some seed yourself,
and may easily get more. We
need not remind our readers to be
beforehand with their work.
Spring grains can hardly be in the
ground too soon after the frost is
out. Potatoes follow as soon MS
there is reasonable warmth in the
ground. Grass seed and clover on
winter grain is best sown with
spring grain, and clover on winter
grain is best 5own upon one of the
last light winter SHOWS The ear
lier manure is out upon grass
and grain land, the better. Even
when the manure is intended for
a corn crop, and not to be plowed
under until the first part Of Mny,
the grain in the growth OF grass,
will more than compensate the loss
by the action Of rains and drying
except upon hill-sides and
spots where the land is especially
to the washing by heavy
rains. 1t is rare that the month
passes without warm and dry
