Important to Renters.

Chief-Justice Bleckley, of the SUI
preme Court of Georgia, recently rem
dered the following decision, which
will prove of great interest to renters
of farming lands:
l. Proof that crop seized under a
distress warrant was on the rented
premises when the levy was made is
equivalent to proof that it was then in
the tenants possession.
2. Under the Act of September 81,
1888, special lien for rent arises in
favor of the transferee of rent note
when the crop natures if the transfer
was made in writing before such ma
turity. 1t makes no difference that the
transfer was as collateral (the note be-
ing negotiable), as the transfer fol-
that purpose passes the legal title.
3. A crop produced on any part Of
the rented premises is liable for the
whole rent Of the entire premises, ant
whether produced by the tenant or his
sub-tenant, unless the landlord as
scented to the sub-letting' or ratified il
whilst owner of the rent contract, o
the transferee of the contract did 81
after acquiring his title.
4. The note in this case, properl.
construed, was a contract for the pay
ment of rent only, though as printed /
was adapted for use to cover advance
on account also.

Success of an Interesting Experiment.

A most interesting experiment Gull
minated recently at Plymouth, Mass,
in the raising Of some wheat grown
from seeds as old as the Exodus. The
experimenter is David Drew, who last
year received from a friend in Alex
andria, Egypt, some grains of wheat
taken from mummy exhumed near
the ruins of Memphis, and belonging,
it is believed, to the period of the ninth
dynasty, which would make it grown
about 5000 B. c., or be nearly 5000
years old. He planted the seed early
in the spring, and carefully nursed it.
They grew rapidly, and at the time of
cutting, measured from 81 to 7 feet
high. The leaves alternate on the
stalk, like common wheat, but the
product of the plant is the most sim
gular part of it, for, instead of grow
ing like the modern article, there is a
heavy cluster of small twigs in place
of the spindle, which hangs downward
from its weight, and each twig is
thickly studded with kernels, each of
which is in separate husk from what
is thrashed. A large crop will be
grown next year, as the result proves
this to exceed in quality any thing that
| the modern grain can grow.

THE GARNER OF WAGES.
Some Must Work While Others Spend the
Riches of the World.

Riches of the World.
1t is apparent that an immense part
of what is earned is not spent by those
who earn it. Whether wages, sala-
ries, stipends or fees, the most of those
who work for them enjoy but small
part themselves. About all that a man
gets in this world is cup of coffee
and roll in the morning, a slice of
meat, perhaps, for dinner, and posi-
bly, cup of tea in the evening. Now
and then he gets new coat. But this
is all. The most of what he wins fills
other mouths entirely.
The money goes, the Garner hardly
knows where. Some part, no doubt,
feeds the creatures whom he has
taken in bond from nature, and is
obliged both by law and by his own
feelings to support. But yet, making
allowances for all that. and for taxes,
besides, which may be described as a
drainage almost equally unavoidable
by far the most of whai most people
acquire by their own handiwork is

but by others.

HOUSEHOLD MAxIMs.
How Women Can Easily Succeed in Max
ing the Ends Meet.

How Women Can Easily Succeed In Max
ing the Ends Meet.
Many woman who has little or no
trouble with making the ends meet in
financial sense is sorely troubled to
make the ends of the twenty-four
hours meet. There is certain amount
of ground that must be gone over. She
has certain amount of strength and
ability. There are just twenty-four
hours in the day and just seven days
in the week. The problem is to dis
tribute the time and the strength over
the work to be done, so that even
handed justice shall be impartially adj
ministered, nothing neglected, and
every thing fairly well attended to.
In studying the problem the mother
may find help in remembering that
certain small amount of gold to cover
large area must be beaten thin.
Much as she might like TO elaborate
every detail of her housekeeping, and
exhaust thoroughness in every task
she undertakes, she finds herself
forced to omit many minor tasks, gid
others very thinly with slight atten-
ton, and selling the salient points
that must be secured, push her way
onward. Often we find that what we
omit to do during the twenty-four
hours counts as much as, If not more,
than what we do. The must-be-dones
demand first attention, and the may
be-dones can run their chances.
A rigid habitual adherence to GER
tain maxims helps one out wonderful
ly. "A place for every thing, and
every thing in its place." observed,
will keep the house in tolerable good
order. "A time for every thing, and
every thing in its time" will insure
the performance of all the major du-
ties. "Once well done is twice DONE"
will prevent tiresome repetitions of
many performances.
There are many important minor
tasks that may be sandwiched in be-
tween larger ones. Nice mending will
answer very well, instead of embroid-
cry or fancy knitting, to occupy inter-
walls of gossip with neighbors and WIS.,
itors. While one is waiting for the
folks to come to meals, perforated
hose may be attended to. If ones
work is all planned out, as it often
may be, a great many little tasks may
be assigned to those irregular spaces
of waiting and resting that project
themselves into the. day. 1t is well
with this in view to have a variety OF
work always on hand, so one need
never be at loss for something use
full to fill the time.
1t is comfortable to remember that
many little tasks omitted one day, il
done the next tell no tales. One may
sweep a room seven days in the week
and it looks no cleaner for six of the
sweepings if the seventh is thoroughly
done. One may slight the ironing with
out impairing the whiteness or value o.
the clothes, and there are many Other
ways that occur to every practica

STACKING ENSILAGE.
How Green Food Is Preserved In Englan'
by Means of SllOs.

How Green Food Is Preserved In England
by Means of Silos.
Not only is green grass preserved in
its green state in England by means Of
silos, but in many cases it is simply
put into stacks with patent arrange
ments for compression, so as to make
the stack solid and keep out the air.
A still simpler method of stacking is to
do away with all pressure and weights
entirely. Circular stacks are made
measuring, when settled down, sixteen
feet in diameter and twelve feet high.
In the case of w. j. Whitaker, whose
product took the first prize for sweet
ensilage, the grass was carted and
stacked by two men direct from the
scythes of the mowers. The outside
was trodden down firmly, the inside
being laid up without being trodden.
The stack was not built all at once but
allowed to settle from day to day, and
more added. The wetter the grass the
better it is likely to turn out from a
stack when not weighted, according to
this authority, who recommends wet
ting it if the weather is very dry. OF
course considerable bulk of grass
must be put into one stack-not less
then ten tons, and much more is recon-
mended. 1t is exceedingly doubtful if
our large American corn fodder can be
thus preserved, but there would be
small risk in trying the stack system Of
ensilage with coarse meadow hay,
brakes, ferns, ETC.. which are now
either entirely wasted or dried late in
the season for use as bedding. We
know partial trial of this system on
such coarse stuff that was successful in
that the cattle ate the ensilage with
avidity.
Further details for ensilage in stacks
without pressure is thus given by
correspondent of the English Farm, and
Home: The making of stack ensilage
is extremely simple. The green stuff
should be cut and made into stack,
which should be round in shape. The
outer edges of the stack must be well
trampled down, and be kept slightly
higher than the middle, into which
the grass is thrown and not trampled
on. The whole of the green stuff
should not be put into the stack at
once, but at intervals of two or three
days. thus allowing the mass to settle
down. A few days after the grass is
all cut, dig some earth from around
the stack, and throw it on the top of
the grass, till covering about one
foot in thickness is formed. No other
covering nor pressure will be required;
and il the outside of the stack has been
properly trodden down, there will be
very little waste.-Fdrm and Home.
