acre in Boston, but who, as I have been
sold, often related, with pride, what every

four wives. In narrating his matrimonial
history he would speak in this wise:

Clay was travelling in stags-coach where

himself On not being the limp, little

when hc became conscious ylat the
pretty girl was begging the rough coun.
uryman not to smoke, as 1t made her III.
The fellow replied with a savage oath that
he had paid his fare and would smoke when
he d-d pleased. Mr.. Clay said he was
just trying TO screw his courage up to the
point Of demonstrating with the country
giant, when the limp little figure undoubled
itself like magic, and, with quick move

Marrying for Money,

The New York Sun, which is fond of
making surprising statements, says: 1--WE
do not believe that marriage purely for
money ever really happened" The daugh-
ter of distinguished Massachusetts author
married one of the wealthiest men in Rhode
Island, a member of one Of the ruling fam.
lilies Of the State, when he was fur ad-
vanced in consumption. The story goes that
when tho young woman announced her en-
gagement to a friend the latter referring
to the proposed bridal tour, exclaimed !:
"Why, he won't live to get across the
oceanl" "lf he'n only live to get up to the
altar that is all will ask!" is reported to
have been the placid response Of the pros
pectiye bride.

Ono of the improvements in farm
ing during the last half century is bet
ter hay. says contemporary. Farmers
have learned that early-cut hay is bet
ter than the hay made in late July or
August They begin now in June. An
other needed improvement is less weeds
in the hay.

plish some object and keeps in the path

both beef and dairy products, must walk

very fast either.
The man who b as good spring house

WASTE OF LABOR.
The Poor Economy of Using One Horse
Implements.

The Poor Economy of Using One Horse
Implements.
There Is great waste of labor in the
practice here in the South of using
mostly one-horse implements. A man
can drive as easily and rs we'll two,
three or four horses to plow wagon, etc.,
as he can single animal. Take plow-
ing, for instance, on six-mule planta-
tion; it is the usual custom to put q
driver behind each mule, when by put
ting three abreast two men can, by US
! ing two twelve-inch to fourteen-inch
turning plows (of which there are so
many patterns as near perfection as
man can make things now to be had). do
far better and more thorough work than
is possible with six one-horse. plows of
any pattern, much less the scooter,
which is only a relic of pioneer times,
and is as much out of date as the spin
ning-wheel or the hand-loom.
The fourteen-inch pillow cuts clean
swath through the roots of saw-briars.
cow-itch vines, etc.-those horrid pests
instead of dodging, and only cultivat-
ing them like a scooter, or, indeed any
one-horse plow. The hard spots in the
soil in like manner being left unbroken,
and as any of the leading makes of
plows referred to will, when properly
adjusted, run without holding almost;
they will. in fact, where there are no
changes of SOIL or distractions to turn
them out of course. 1t is really easier
work than holding scooter, which is
the most ungainly tool that man in
vented. In having also harrow. COW
ering from five to nine feet, will do far
more perfect work than several small
ones While tending crops during the
first stages Of growth a single-horse
cultivator or doubIe-shoveI is superior
to the two-horse cultivator, but with
this exception the latter is decidedly
the better implement, TO say nothing of
the economy in labor. The use of
this two-horse cultivator revolu-
tionized corn growing on the prairies.
II, together with tho two-horse corn
planter, enabled the farmer to take ad-
