curIou. M.rs in . waterfall.

A Boston lawyer, returned from a trip
in Maine, tells of a curious phenomenon
existing at the Livermore falls, in that
state. At the foot of one of the dams
the descending water seems to be driven
back with so much force that half way
up the column of water there is an eve
moving line Of water like a crease in a
piece OF cloth. This has an effect upon
the surrounding atmosphere that is al
most incredibly great. The phenomenon
is not observable at all times, but when
the wave" is visible on the falling
water, objects suspended in the air at
some distance from the falls are OBJ
served to vibrate perceptibly in a regular
movement. The vibration, while per-
ceptible Mt the time when the wave
can be seen, seems TO stop almost in
stantly after the "wave" disappears, and
it seems almost certain that the latter
causes the former. Boston Advertiser.

Dickens. Lntlrr to HI. Sons.

Here is a letter from Dickens, ad-
dressed To his younger sons on their
leaving home, n for Cambridge, the
other for Australia, in which the fathers
heart and the deeper side of his nature
reveal themselves;
you will remember" hosays to both,
that you have never at home been
wearied about religious ~observances OF
mere formalities. You will, therefore,
understand the better that I now most
solemnly impress upon you the truth
and beauty of the Christian religion as
it comes from Christ himself, and
the impossibility of your going far wrong
if you humbly, but heartily, respect 1t.
Similarly l impress upon you the
habit Of saying a Christian prayer night
and morning. These things have stood
by me through my life, and remember
that / tried to render the New Tesla
ment Ineligible to you and lovable to
you when you were a mere baby. And
so God bless you.

Drain land and cultivate for moisture.
No other worker except the farmer
can safely settle himself in home OF bis
own.
A good crop cannot be secured except
at the expense of constant, unremitting
toll
Let the old and young fowls have as
large a range as possible, the larger the
better.
Early hstched chickens bring the best
prices, and bring 10 money at time
when you need it.
A lew dollars expended for papers are
sure to return many fold to the owner OF
even a small farm.
DO not keep bantam fowls around with
other stock. They are too pugnacious
and cause trouble in camp.
The value of the garden as an ap-
peDdage to the farm is seldom or never
oyerestimated, but often undervalued.
Poor hsy makes a poor feed. 1t takes
a large quantity for the stock, while they
will not thrive we'll upon it.
A woven wire netting fence is the very
best that can be put around the house
yard, the garden, and the lawn.
Don't breed too many kinds of fowls at
the same time, unless you are going into
the business Three or four will give you
your hands full.
Il is the exception rather than the rule
that specialties in farming pays. Under
average conditions mixed farming is the
most profitable.
With plenty of good feed stored under
good shelter, and with shelter for the
COWS, winter dairying can be made more
profitable than in the summer.
Lime applied broadcast to the soil aids
to render plant food already in the soil
available, and it is an exception to find

AGRICULTU o RAL.
Peas. Potatoes, Sorghum, Etc.

June and July are the only remaining
months in which crops like the above can
be started to advantage. In midsummer
il is apt to be dry and difficult to get
seeds to germinate. Advantage should
be taken, therefore, of every rain to get
seds in the ground, and get them in

is hopeful that it will rain again soon, and
trusts the future, instead OF avalling him.
self of the present, rarely accomplishes
much. Energy activity, promptness are
demanded in matters OF this kind.
For the purpose of raising seed, the
whippoorwill pea should be planted In
June. Sometimes they do well planted
in July, bat the chances are against 1t.
Wherever you can get q spare piece oil

come amiss. They will help the land;
they can take the place OF corn as horse

The main crop of sweet potatoes should

In May for an early crop, and such crop
is very desirable for fattening hogs-but
later paintings will keep better through

SPRING MEDICINE.

Spring sickness may be avoided by taking
Kings Sarsaparilla in season. If you have not
felt well during the winter, if you have been
overwOrked or closely confined in badly ven
tilated rooms or shops, you need a good blood
purifier. Take Kings Sarsaparila early and
you will ward off attacks of disease CT escape
the effects of impure blood and that tired feeling
SO common in the Spring. Do not delay.
Kings Sarsaparilla purlfes the Blood. If you
feel tired, weak, worn out or run down from
hard work, by impoverished condition of the
blood or low state of the system, you should take
Kings Sarsaparilla.
Kings SarsaparIlla has had remarkable sue
cess in curing dyspepsia, sick headache, heart
burn, sour stomach, and similar troubles. It
gently but surely tones the stomach and diges-
tive organs, creates good appetite, cures sick
headache, overcomes drowsy feeling and mental
depression. 1t also acts upon the kidneys and
liver, rousing these important organs to healthy
action. Now is the time to take Kings Sar-
saparilla.

Farmer Fathers.

Are you living simply to see how many
bushels of oats, corn or potatoes you can
raise to the acre, or how many gallons OF
milk you can take from a certain number
of COWS, or how cheaply you can produce
q hundred pounds of pork or mutton ?
If SO, and you have children, do you think
you are making the most OF life? If the
boys are small, do they ever have a romp
with father? If large enough to work,
who do they work with, the hired man or
you? When a shower comes up, where
do the boys go, and who are :heir COM
pauions?
No man has q better opportunity than
the farmer to mould his boys. No boys
can more easily than the farmers fall the
prey of foulminded, evil disposed men or
boys.
A good mother remarked to US the
other day that seven years with their
father on the farm had made her boys
much more tender hearted. This shows
the moulding influence the father has if
he uses it Alright. Don't neglect the boys.
Have them work with you, and 10 the
hours when they cannot work give them
some place beside the barn to lounge in,
and something beside coarse jests and low
talk for entertainment. Be a father to
them. Let them coufide in you; be glad
to them; enter into their plans; encourage
them to come to You with all that inter
ests them.
Let the girls know that father cares for
them, too, and don't expend so much for
training a colt that you have nothing to
let the daughter have with which to at
tend the village school "for only one
term" Sons and daughters rightly trained
are Of much more value than broad acres,
fertile fields or blooded stock. Let them
feel this. Let them know that you, their
father thinks more of them than he does

SHARp-KNIFE THE SUCKERs.-Suckers

ly produced by digging the borders.
Wherever the spade strikes against root
q wound is made, and then suckers form,
and the habit, once acquired, it is very
difficult to stop. The best course, as the
trees are too large to remove, would be to
clear away the soil around the suckers,
and trace them to their source, aud cut

upon wheat bread is very beneficial to

that there is a loss of butter when the

may not be any very great increase OF
