Sowing Grass and Glover Seed.

Much the incest, easiest and most ac-
curate way to SOW clover and grass seeds
is with the broadcast seed sower
strapped in front of the operator and
turned by a crank. It will dis
tribute more evenly than it is possible
to do from the hand alone, though an
even pace and even motion of the crank
is necessary to accomplish this
Clover seed can be distributed twenty
two feet, or a strip eleven feet on either
side Timothy seed is lighter and can
be thrown eighteen feet. Where the
two are sown together, six PAGES are
marked off at each turn. The clover
seed will slightly overlap, and the tim
othy will have no breaks if the work is
done on a still day. Very often the air
is calm early in the morning, and this
while the surface of the ground is
frozen is a better time than in the mid
die of the day, when the ground is
muddy and the wind has arisen. With
smart walking and thirty-two feet
bout good many acres of grass seed
NAV be sown before breakfast.

Living Fence Posts.

A twig Of willow stuck into the soil in
early spring will almost certainly grow
and soon become thrifty tree. If will
low stakes are used and little care is
given to mulching around them the
first season, they can be used for hang
ing barbed wire on very quickly.
When the tree attains height of ten to
twelve feet, cut it down about half, and
the farmer has live fence that will last
longer than most lives. Willows grow
most rapidly on rather moist land, but
this is not the best for this kind of fence
posts, for the faster they grow the more
pruning they require to keep within
reasonable bounds.

Remaining the Old Coat.

Horses and COWS change their cloth
ing regularly in spring, and need some
extra care while this necessary process
is going on. 1t is fastened by good
feeding and this is especially important
for horses soon to be put to work. The
making of new coat takes much the
same elements OF nutrition that furnish
bone and muscle. Hence, when the
what weaker than after this work is fin
ished. For hurrying up the new coat,
oil meal, either cottonseed or linseed, is
excellent. Every farmer knows that it
will make the horses coat to shine
But it must be fed with discretion
Cotton seed meal is exceedingly rich
and unsuited to young stock unless
given with the brewers grains, bran or

The Time to Prune.

Opinions differ as to the best time to
prune trees. There is really no one best
time for all purposes. If more wood is
wished, prune when the tree is bare Of
leaves and before the sap starts. If the
tree is making too much wood and
fruitage is desired, prune while in full
leaf. This checks growth and induces
the formation offruit buds. But it is al
ways good policy to keep a close
watch of trees and remove growth that
will be in the way as soon as it starts
Mr.. Barry, of Rochester, once said that
the best implement for pruning was the
thumb and finger, pinching ofsuperfu-
Gus growth before it is large enough to
require the knife.

THERE is honor among thieves. y
This is dishonest saying There is no
reliance to be placed on thieves, and
nobody knows this better than the thief
himself The common custom of the
lawyers to circulate the story that one
of the gang is about to squeal, and forth
with confession is ready from every
one of the arrested criminals. That the
truth will be told by any one Of them is
not likely, but comparison of half a
dozen tales will generally give reason
ably good clue to the facts. 1t affords a
mathematician a fine chance for esti-
mating probabilities. A good detective
is man who does not disbelieve nor
does he believe a word told him-he has
the capacity to suspend judgment and
examine testimony without bias

Fast Driving of Work Horses.

A true d aught horse is not built for
rapid driving on hard roads. The extra
weight, which is almost inseparable for
adaptation for draught work, bears
heavily on his feet, especially on city
pavements. The asphalt pavement is
hard and smooth, and therefore much
worse for the horses feet than that
made of cobble stones. Yet where the
road is common dirt, as it is in the
draught horse to faster gait than he is
accustomed to at work. The heavy an
imal becomes too clumsy for great eff
ticiency, and from always being accus-
toned to a slow gait, grows, like some
men, old before his time

Poor lone Hannah,

When the bloom was on the tree;
Spring and winter,

Passing nod or answer will refuse,
To her whisper,
lis there from the fishers any news ?"
Oh, her hearts adrift with one
On an endless voyage gone
Night and morning,
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Fair young Hannah,
Ben, the sunburnt fisher, ga1ly Woos;
Hale and clever,
For willing heart and hand he sues.
May-day skies are all aglOw
And the waves are laughing so
For her wedding
Hannah leaves her window and her shoes.
May is passing;
MID the apple boughs pigeon COOS.
Hannah shudders.
For the mild Southwestern mischief brews.
Round the rocks of Marblehead.
Outward bound q schooner sped,
Silent lonesome

Now no tear her wasted cheek bedeWs,
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering hoarsely: Fishermen.

Old with watching,

Twenty winters,
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she views,
Twenty seasons

Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sails o. er the sea;
Hopeless, faithful,

one who denies that women have the

Clover Seed ON Snow.

Many farmers fear to SOW clover seed
on snow, lest in thawing it carry the
seed away and thus lose it. Except on
lands subject to being flooded, however,
there is little danger Of this. The seed
is dark enough in color to absorb some
warmth from the sunshine. 1t sinks
through light snow long before the
latter is melted, and as it is heavy
enough to sink in water, it is no more
liable to be carried off than is the soil
itself. Clover seed sown early gets
rooted before hot, dry weather comes,
and often blossoms early enough to
ripen seed the first season if not
cropped.

UNION CITY, Pa, March 27.-At 2
o'clock this morning fire was discovered
in n. Waters boot and shoe store,
which spread to the adjoining building
occupied by Woods Bros grocery store
and G. N. McLean's drug store. So rapid
was the progress of the fire
that no goods were saved from any
of the buildings. At the height of the
confagration terrific explosion of ben
zine occurred and several prominent
citizens were severely injured, but with
the exception of DR.. w z. Biles none
were dangerously hurt. The doctor
was inside the building and was thrown
a distance of thirty feet, and severely
burned. He is in a precarous condition.
The city building, a freproof structure,
was badly damaged by the explosion,
and was on fire number of times. The
loss will amount to fully $50, 900, partial
ly covered by insurance.

Breeding from Young Mares.

One ofthe ways in which the growth
OF young mare can continue, and with
profit to the owner, is to put her to
breeding. From two to three the little
work mare could do without injury
could not amount to much. If literally
fed and not worked the mare will be
none the worse for it. Possibly, how
