CULTURE OF HEMP.
A Crop That Can BE Grown Wherever Corn
Is Produced.

N SEoP ANU drown wherever Corn
Is Produced.
Any soil TINT will grow a full crop
OF corn will produce hemp to perfcc-
ton, America being the best country in
tho world for this crop. The soil must
be dry and vol drained. for, if wet,
hemp will not thrive upon il. This is
very important; use tile drains. Sow
the seed in spring us soon as the
ground is we'll settled, broadcastinr
from two to four pcclls of seed per
acre. American grown seed is the best.
L have tried Russian grown hempsced,
but it is no good, though that from
China promises we'll. Cut the hemp in
September with Il moving machine, as
you cut timothy hay. Let it rot on tho
ground till the fiber separates Then
rake 1t with horse rake and stack or
shock it the same us you do corn. A
hay derrick will be useful in this work
If You have one. Thrash with fails
when dry. A mill and machinery to
work hemp will cost about 81 800 and
the dry rottcd hemp straw tit for the
mill is worth $40 per ton; l.! tons is tho
average yield per acre, but some get
two or three tons. / have had Is
years experience in growing and
working hemp and am fore
man in hemp mill, which will have
500 acres OF hemp grown for it this
year. Such an outfit as above referred
to will work from five TO 10 carloads of
fiber in u seasonal and employ from eight
TO 10 men. The machinery for making
hemp tow Includes "a iuted rollers
with breaks; two scutching machines,
provided with loose heaters, and two
scutching machines with solid bcatcrs,
made Of 2X4 oak and provided with
plcters Of steel one inch long rcvolv-
ing on II drum four feet in diameter.
This will clean the hemp. In order to
save hemp seed, the crop should be
cut by September 20, with a reaper,
three men following and shocking it
as you would corn. When the hemp is
cured; thrash out the seed with fails,
clean the seed with fanning-mill and
spread the straw TO rot. Farmers
should know that all the corn land in
the West will grow hemp and that
crop Of hemp is worth four times as
much as Il crop of corn.-Cor. Farm

LABOR OF COMPOSITION.

How Some Famous Authors and Composers
Wrote Their Productions.
The popular notion is that great
authors and great composers throw of
their works with the ease that makes
composition or writing an act of pure
enjoyment. The notion is false.
Thackeray used to spoil sheets of
paper by scribbling and drawing on
them, before he could begin u story, or
even q chapter Of a story nearly COM
pleted. Balzac's proof-sheets wore q
terror even to the one printer whom
the publishers employed to correct The
authors proofs. They wcre so full Of
alterations, corrections. transforrna-
lions and expurgations that the printed
matter seemed like Il small island sur-
rounded by coral reefs. rocks and less
er islands. The manuscripts of Popc's
translation Of the Iiad and Odyssey
tell tho story of the poets pains to
make the work perfect.
such reliqueS show how excellence
is acquired" said DR.. johnson of Mil
toms manuscripts.
Mozart could write of his COMPOST
ton with marvellous rapidity, whom
the occasion demanded hastr. because
he was simply transcribing what was
already in his mind. But il had been
formed thoro by II lnborious process.
Chopin's theme sang itself in his head
during walk, or while lingering the
piano. But then began the labor of
transcribing tho notes to paper. lie
would shut himself up in his room for
days. walking, breaking his pens, re-
pcating and altering IL bar Il hundred
times. He once spent six weeks over
single page, and ut last wrote it us
he had noted it down at the very first.
William Hunt, the painter, talked to
his pupils in this strain: "If you could
gee me dig and groan, rub it out and
start again, hate myself and fool
drc"'fully! The people who do things
easily, thoir thugs you look vt easily,
and give away easily"

1t is now proposed that the various

Rest for wearIness of Body or Brnin

A tramp knows what it is to be leg
weary, farm laborcr to be body-weary,
literary man to be brain weary and a
sor owing man to be soul weary. The
sick are often weary, even of life Itself.
Wearincss is generally physiological

well to whip or spur worn out horse,
except in the direst straits. If he mends
his plce in obedience to the stimulus,
every step is a drop drawn from his life
blood. ldleness is not one Of the faults
of the present age; weariness is one of
its commonest experiences. The checks
that many man draws on his physio-
logical resources are inuumerable; and,
as these resources are strictly limited,
like any other ordinary banking ac-
count, it is very easy to bring about
balance on the wrong side. Adequate
rest is one kind of rep yment to the
bank, sound sleep is another, regular

and management physiolog cal solvency

siological fortune is as good a thing, or
even a better thing, than a money for

keep the mind easy and the body youth
full. If, however, a man have not
these, but only enough Of strength to

Fight Between An Oyster and Fish.

One old fisherman tells of fight
between a big oyster and little fish
which he saw last seasoa. 1t was a
fight "to a finish, and one the like of
which he never saw before. The young
starfsh approached the open oyster and
slowly settled down upon it. The shell
sprang together with a snap and the
fish, which had Sc tied upon it with five
rays, bobbed suddenly up with only
four. The oyster again dropped his
blinds and awaited a seconl attack.
He didn't have to wait long. Slowly
the fish began TO .drop. until ..bo vas

five. Three times more this was enacted
and then the fish keeled over dead.

Five Words MAY Ruin a 1.nun

Trees ON q Court Hnnse

Greensburgh, Ind, has long been
noticed for the singular phenomenon of
the trees growing ON the Court House
tower. The first tree made its appear
ance in 1864 tiny green shoot on top
of the tower-and was the cause Of
much wonder and interest. Its dcvel-
opmeut was eagerly watched, and as its
steady Grovth continued it became
known as the Lone Tree. As years
passed the tree grew and assumed
greater and more graceful proportions
and flourished in spite Of its lofty posi-
tion, exposed to the wind an storm.
Other trees have since made their ap-
pearance on different SIDES Of the tower,
until there are now seven, which, with
their bright green foliage showing in
pretty contrast against the dull white
stone mako a charming picture, out
lined against the blue sky. During the
repairs Of the Court House now in pro-
gress a :caffolding was built around The
tower, and the removal of the treas DIS
cussed. An examination was made and
the largest tree reported to be 81 inches
in circumference and 5 feet 10 high.
No damage was being done by them,
and it was decided to allow them to re-
main, as the crevice in the stone roofing
made by the roots of the trees show an
opening of only I I inches. Tne tower
is 1873 feet high, of solid masonry, and
how the trees find nou ishment to sustain
them is a ma ter of great wonder.
