Care in Sowing Seed.

The Importance of care in the prep,
aration of the soil is sadly moderated
G. l.. Allen writes in Garden ana
Forest as follows:
"This care is usually given in pro-
portion to the cost of the seed, that
is, novelty of high price receives due
attention, and for this reason, rather
than for any real superiority, it may
excel older sorts. The market gar
deners of Long Island as rnle hn,y
their cabbage seed Of nei9hbOr who
has a reputation for choice variety,
! something far superior, he thinks, to
anything to be obtained at seed
house. Market gardeners pay from
SIP to SD per pound for this seed,
when equally good seed could be
bought ut a reliable house for So.
But the ffteen-doll seed is the
cheapest for the gardener in the end,
because he sows thinly in soil prepar-
eel WlCn Ile greatest care.
. The result is that most of the
seed terminates, the plants have
sufficient room for development, they
do not gets leggy, but are stong and
stocky, and in the finely pulverized
but we'll compacted soil they are well
furnished with roots. When these
plants are set in the field they do not
suffer from the change; their vigor
pushes them ahead, they are quickly
established, and yield large proper
ton of well-developed heads. Low
priced seed, purchased by the same
gardener, would have been sown
more thickly in loose and coarse soil,
where the plants would have been
poorly rooted and with
out vigor when transplanted. The
product from such a beginning will be
late, small and of inferior quality.
This is not an imaginary case. | |
have seen seed from the same stock |
give the best satisfaction, and in
other cases none at all. The sole
reason for these opposite results was
that in one instance the seed was
sown properly, and improperly in 9TH
ars. | have more than once noted
of precisely this charac-
ter among the growers of caulifow-
ers in Suffolk County.

Left Alone at Eighty.

What did you say, dear-brcakfast?
Shmehow I've slept too late;
You arc very kind, dear EfTie;
Go, tell them not to wait.
I'll dress as quick rs ever L can,
Nv old hands trcmblc sore,
And Polly, who used to help, dear hearth
Lies t'other side O. the door.
Put up the old pipe, deary,
couldn't smoke to-day;
I'm sort o. dazed and frightened.
And don't know what to say.
It's lonesome i'll the house, here,
And lonesome out o. door
l never knew what lonesome meant,
In all my life, before.
The bees go humming, all day long,
And the first June rose has blown,
And 1 am eighty, dear Lord, to-day
Too old to be left alone
O heart of love! so still and cold,
o precious lips, white
For the first sad hours, in sixty years,
You were out of my reach, last night.
You've cut the flower. You're very kind,
She rooted it last May;
1t was only a slip; pulled the rose,
And threw the stem away;
But she, sweet thrifty soul, bent down,
And planted it where she stood:
'.Dear. maybe the flowers are living, ''she said,
.'AsIeep in this bit of wood.''
I can't rest, deary-I cannot rest;
Let the old man have his will,
And wander from porch to garden post
The house is so deathly still;
Wander, and long for sight of the gate
She has left ajar tor me
We had got so used to each other, dear,
So used to each other, you see.
Sixty years, and so wise and good,
She made me a better man,
From the moment 1 kissed her fair young face,
And our lovers life began,
And seven fine boys she has given me,
And out of seven not one
But the nOblest father in all the land
Would be proud to call his son.
Oh well, dear Lord, Ill be patient,
But feel so broken up;
At eighty years it's an awesome thing
To drain such bitter cup.
1 know, there's Joseph and John and Hal,
And four good men beside,
But hundred sons couldn't be to me
Like the woman 1 made my bride.
My little Polly, so bright and fair!
So wInsome and good and sweet,
She had roses twined in her sunny hair,
White shoes on her dainty feet;
And held her hand-Was it yesterday
That we stood up to wed?
1 remember, 1 am eighty to-day,
And my wife, Polly, is dead.

At recent meeting of the Photo
graphic Society of Geneva, Switzer-
land, Professor HI. Fol presented a
paper on resemblances in married
couples. According to the British
Journal of Photography, he stated
that out of seventy-eight young cou-
pies photographed for the purpose of
his Investigations, he found that in
twenty-four cases the resemblance in
the personal appearance of the hus-
band and wife was greater than that
of brother and sister, in thirty cases
it was equally great, and in only
twenty-four was there a total of alb
sence of resemblance.

A dog who had been run over by a
team crawled to the door of tanner
in the town of Abo; the mans son, a
boy fifteen years of age, first stoned
then poured vessel of boiling water
upon the suffering animal. This act
was witnessed by one of the magis-
trates, and the cruel lad was con-
demned by the magistrates of that
town to the following punishment He
was conducted to the place of execu-
ton by an officer of justice who read
to him his sentence: 'sInhuman
young man, because you did not
assist an animal who implored your
aid by its cries and who derives be-
ing from the same God who gave YOU
life; because YOU added to the torture
of the agonized beast and cruelty MUIR
dered it the council of the city have
sentenced you to wear on your breast
the name you deserve and to receive
fifty stripes from the executioner."
Were such examples made in our
courts, of juvenile cruelty, we should
have fewer cases of savage wife
beating, and of the daily conflicts of
brutalized men, such as occupy the
time of our magistrates and fill our
police reports.
Some men say the farm does not
pay, but we say the farm does pay
1t is not the farms that do not pay.
1t is the men that are on them that |
don't pay. They lose too much
time and waste too much money is /
the reason the farm does not pay.

The favorite method of modern
burglars is absolute breaking of
safe. This is done by the applica-
ton of powerful levers. The burglars
have learned the lesson of Archime-
des, who said that if he could only
find place to rest his lever he would
move the world. The safe itself sup
plies to the skillful burglar the most
solid fulcrum, and the combination
or sectional Jimmy a tool whose
power is almost unlimited. The diff
ferent sections of this ''jimmy" are
adjustable, SO that a burglar may
carry in his pocket enough sections to
make lever twenty feet long if need
be. Such a tool inserted in a crack
or hole made for the purpose, or
fissure in the framework of a safe,
will tear the stoutest iron as easily as
a woman tears strip of cloth.

That is his name, but we call him
Bobby. Johnny found him when he
was hardly fiedged out. He was cud-
died close to a big rock in the wheat
field, and crying as if his little heart
would break: just as you would cry
if some giant should bnrn your home
and kill your dear brothers and sisters.
That was what happened to this dear
little robin. Some cruel boy had des-
the baby robins but this one. He had
slipped away among the wheat.
He was alone and cold and hungry
so Johnny brought him home. He soon
grew to be very tame and ate the
bread and egg readily which Johnny
gave him. 1t was easy to teach him
tricks. And now, while the winter
wind blows cold and the snow whirls
against the windows, we have great
fun with Bobby.
He Will kiss us very prettlly; but,
if stranger offers his mouth for a
kiss, he will nip his lips with his long
sharp bill. He will sit on mammals
shoulder for an hour at time, softly
singing a pretty song; but, if she be-
gins to eat an apple, and does not off
er him bite, he will tweak her ear
sharply.
Sometimes he will not let hersew,
but will fly toward her seize, the
thread, and pull it out of the needle
before she can take a stitch. No matter
how many times she threads it, he
will not let her sew until he is tired
of the fun. He will climd tiny lad
der, then fall down and make believe
he is dead. He will ''sing for his sup
per-" when we hold up any dainty
and tell him to sing for it.
He will play "hide-and-seek. But
we generally let him hide, because he
pulls our hair when he finds US.
