TENN ESSEF
SPRING GARDENING.

The gentle Spring has come
And men, who garden some,
leap from their beds while yet the morn is
gray,
And, like tramp arrayed,
With barrow, rake and spake
Courgeously attack the soggy clay.
They furlously dig
A pIace-not very big
Then gently rake 1t smoother than q floor;
Then, on their hands and knees,
Drop in the precious peas,
AND pun, and pant, and sweat from every
pore.
Zen at the breakfast bell
These heroes will rebel,
And shout they're "nearly through" and
coming nOw;"
But hot till breakfasts cold,
And wife begins to scod,
VIII they quit work, all ready for row,
They can't wash off the dirt;
They struggle in shirt,
And finish ut the table, where in pain
They ehoke--no time 10 taste
Then rush with nervous haste
Across the lots, and miss, of course, the
train.
AT night, with blistered hand,
And broken back, they stand
A swearing at the neighbours wicked chicks,
Who'ye scratched up all the seeds,
So nothing grows but weeds
Which shows it doesn't pay TO rise ut six.

An Electro Glass Piereer.

A method of piercing glass by the
electric spark has been brought out by
M. FACES. A rectangular plate Of
ebonite has hole drilled in it, and a
pointed wire put through from beneath,
until the point is flush with the upper
side of the plate on which the glass plate
is placed. This wire is connected with
one of the poles of an induction
coil, giving spark, say, of twelve GEN.
timeters in length. A few drops of olive
oil are put round the point of the wire
on the upper end of the ebonite plate,
before the glass is laid on, care being
taken that no air bubbles are left in the
oil. Another wire from the other pole
of the induction coil is then brought
over the glass plate just opposite the

PERcHERoN STATIONS.
Why Farmers Buy Them.

During these hard times, when near
ly every farm product is SO low in price
that it hardly seems worth raising, we
see many of our most intelligent and
progressive farmers, who have not
hitherto been interested in horse breed
ing, buying finely bred high priced
Percheron stations. This to many Is a
source of establishment, but Is the re-
suit of observation that large, we'll
formed active horses always have been,
and necessarily must continue to be, in
active demand at large prices on ac-
count of the scarcity in the United
States of suitable stations for their
production, all such having to be inn
ported. The yearly increasing demand
Tor such stations Is the best evidence
that such investments are profitable.
And to this fact is due the development
of large importing and breeding estab,,
lishments, notably among which and
largely exceeding all others is that Of
