Somebody's Mother.


The woman old, and ragged and gray,
And bect with the chill of the winters DAY;
The street was wet with the recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged ana SLOW,
she stood at the crossing, and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
or human beings who passed her oY,
Nor needed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad In the freedom Of "Schooi let out,
Came the boys, like flock OF sheep,
Hailing the snow Pill white ana deep,
Past the woman so old and gray,
HaStened the children on their way;
Nor offered 4 helping hand to her,
SO meek, so timid, afraid 10 stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or horses feet
Should crowd her down In the slippery street
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie Of all the group;
He paused beside her and whispered low,
AZ III help you across II you wish 10 60.
Her aged hand on his strong arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong,
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, YOU know,
For all she's aged, and poor, and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend mana
TO help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's old, and poor. and gray,
When her own dear doy Is far away
And "sornebody's mother" bowed her head
In her home that night, and the prayer sne
Was, God he kind to the noble boy,

Oats..How Northern Farmers Can

AS rule, farmers change their plans and
methods very slowly; their work goes on from
year to year In pretty much the same grooves
-eminently conservative, they fear that
change will bring disaster. Within proper
limits, this conservatism is both wise and
conmendable. The resultant. SO to speak, OF
the experiences of large numbers of men rum
ming through many years is very apt to point
in the right direction. or quite near to It. But
change Of surroundings, increase of knowl-
edge In other departments, more or less clio, close
~ related to farming, new inventions, togeth-
er with additional experience, open the way,
sometimes, to gradual and important changes, S
even in the old art of agriculture. Witness
the extended use of commercial, or chemical
fertilizers, and of labor saving implements;
the large substitution of cotton for flax and
wood, and Of beet sugar for cane sugar In Eu.
uopean mark ets-all within the memory OF
many now living. The beginning Of new
wear is fitting time to consider whether any
new departures are advisable just now upon
our Southern farms. Does calm, dispassion-
ate consideration Of results warrant repetl-
tion in 1856 Of the plans, methods and opera
tions OF 1855; or are there points at which 1t Is

Gathering Manure.

No work can more profltably engage atten-
tton for the next two months, than the en-.
largement of the manure heap. Crops must
be fed; they need food just as much as ami
mails. Upon O'd and worn soils they need
food into which organic matter largely enters.
Chemical fertilizers are good; they pay hand
somely II used alone, provided they are judi
ciously applied; but they give greatly better
results IN conjunction with organic matters.
However freely therefore Il farmer proposes to
use commercial fertilizers. he ought to make
his manure heap pcorrespondingly large. His
stalls should be Uttered as frequently as they
will bear IL. AS soon as that put in becomes
well soaked In urine put more; don't wait for
it to rot before adding more. Tramped down
and mixed with dung and urine. 1t will under
20 the very best kind of fermentation; one
that is slow but constant, with slight develop
ment of heat and little loss of valuable gases.
If your stalls get too full, clean out and start
anew; but it is better to have abundant stall
room, and clean out but once Il year. The
handling is expensive, and there IS danger of
loss from improper manipulation. When put
into be- 5s @S
points are essential to well regulated fer
mentatiOn. ii not under shelter the depth of
the manure should bc at least three feet, AND
its edges perpendicular. SO that 1T may absorb
all the rain water that falls upon it, without
leaching Its upper surface should be cnvcrt
with several inches Of rich dirt TO prevent
drying. and the escape OF gases. 1t is decided
ly better to mix the manure OF all kinds of
stock in the same pen, rather than put them
up in separate pens. They supplenient each
other. not only chemically, but physically; !;
the slow termenting cow manure is Stimulat-
ed by the more active horse manure, and over
activity with firpfanging of the latter, is held
in check bv the sluggiShneSs of the former.
The close, waXy texture of COW manure Is
broken up and rendered frable, by internix-
ture with the looser teXtured horse manure.
Everything about the premises that has ma
nurial value should be added except ashes
and lime. These may cause loss of ammonia
in the hands OF persons not familiar with
chemical reactions and the conditions under
which they occur AS a rule these two sub
stances had better be applied to land by them
selves, or else in cOmpOStS with leaves or muck,
without admXture with the eNcremcnt ofan.
inals. Cotton seed of course, may very pro-
perly be added to the manure pen. Fcrmer-
tation will destroy their terminating power,
and soften their hullS. whilst the abundant
supply OF organic acids in the heap, will unite
with and fix, any ammonia that may be gen
Grated from them. To supplement the ma
nure heaps from the stalls and yards, addi-
tional ones may be made. as suggested above,
by composing leaves with ashes and lime.
For convenience these should be made ic the
fields to which they are to be applied; and as
such c0mposts are somewhat incompatible
