An Upright Man.


An upright man may be one either
of sterling qualities of character, or one
of an erect carriage and stiff back bone.
Dealing with the latter, it is something
worth knowing how to preserve this
physical uprightness, or to bring it
about as relief to backbone that has
become flcxed. In this condition q
man is the most useless looking object
that walks. But it is so easy thing to
help his helplessness, that the wonder
is why any remain so for any length of
time. Mr. Francis Maurer, of Chicagr,
H., says that he suffered five months
with lame back, and that he was con-
fined to bed and could not walk. The
doctors could not help him, he says,
but st. Jacobs Oil cured him, and he
has had no pain for FIVE years, up to
the time of his Btatement.

How She Behaved.

The negro makes us laugh because
he will say things which he should
have left unsaid, and say them without
the least intention of giving offcnse.
An admirable illustration of thi, sort
of humor is given in the Editors
Drawer" of Harper's. Briefly told, it
is as follows:
Samson, the colored janitor of an
apartment house in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson occupy fat, is not
treated by their Irish cook with the
Difference which he thinks due to his
position. q
One morning when, a. the going up
and down of the coal-scuttle, Samson
had been worsted in q wordy encoun-
ter, his wounded dignity could stand il
no longer. Stopping Mr.. Robinson on
the front stairs, he complained to him
of his sharp-tongued servant.
What Samson wished to soy was
that the girl assumed as much author.
ity as IL she were one of the ladies oi
the house. What he did say was this
"Mr. Robinson, that girl of yours las
ordered me round. an yelled ut me
down thu elevator shaft, an bowed
me an jawed me until you'd have
thought it was Mrs, Robinson her
sAlf." -

FLOWING.

When the ground has been well
plowed in the fall it is not always neces-
sary to plow again in the spring before
planting. A gooc cultivation will stir
the soil sufficiently deep for planting aud
the harrow will work into q proper tilth
for planting the. seed. In addition to
the saving of the work by this
plan there is the advantage of having the
trash buried so deep that it will not be
disturbed either in preparing the land TO,
planting or in cultivating.
With all cultivated crops it is quite an
item to have the soil clean and IN good
tiitn so that the cultivation can be com.
menced as soon as possible. Work is al,
ways pressing in the spring and it is no,
only an item to save time but also to get
the work done in good season, and with
the ground well plowcd in advance b,
using the plow and cultivator good
tilth can be secured with much less work
than would be necessary if the ground
must first be plowed and then worked in
to good tilth, while the results will be
fully as satisfactory. .-NeJrasto Farmer.

pRErAR1Ne SOD GROUND FOR CORN.


Leaving out of consideration the ques-
tion of plowing sod in the fall, il it is
plowed in the spring, it is best done as
soon as the ground is in good condition.
Sod ground can be plowed earlier than
fallow, stubble, or corn-stalk ground, and
the sod will have none too long to par
italy decompose before the corn is
planted.
A good plow for stubble or fallow land
is one that moves the furrow-slice with
considerable force, breaking it up; but
such plow is not fit one for sud
ground, for it will leave parts of the fur
row-slice lying with the grass up, and
other parts standing on edge. The har-
row will then leave many pieces with the
grass up, to grow again. The best plow
for sod is one that turns the furrow slice
completely upside down, and no more,
without breaking it. Then the plowed
ground can be fined without bringing
grass to the surface to grow again.
Sod requires more work than stubble
to put in good condition for the seed,
and the loss from planting on sod not
well prepared is greater than on stubble
Unless the ground is thoroughly worked
there will be crevices among and beneath
the sods, which will aggravate the effects
of both drouth and flood. The pieces of
, sod will constantly interfere with cultiva-
tion, and if one Of these pieces is beneath
, hill the corn will likely be torn up by
the cultivator. Neither will the sod be
SO well decomposed and feed the crop.
Another reason for careful preparation
of the sod is that it is often infested
with cut worms and other worms. The
more the ground is stirred, the more of
these will be destroyed; and planting
may safely be deferred until the cut
worms have passed their voracious period
, aud will do little damage. Quite fire.
quently sod ground, and especially clov
er-sod ground, contains so many cut
worms that it is not advisable to plant it
until quite late. Only poor stand will
remain. Last spring l allowed forty
acre clover-sod field to lie month after
it was almost ready for the planter. One
of the employees became very impatient,
and thought was wrong not to plant at
once, as some of my ncighbors had done
But much of their corn was cut off by the
worms, and they had only poor stand,
with some hills month Behind the 9TH
ers. When planted 1 had most ex-
cellent stand and the field averaged
eighty bushels, shellcd. per acre. On
sod ground thoroughly prepared corn
grows so fast that it is safe to defer
planting until quite late, and this ground
is not apt to he hardened by rains as is
, other ground. d.-American Agricuhurist.

USE OF THE WHIP.

The whip should be utterly abolished
as weapon for compelling the service of
trained draught animals. 1t is useful in
the training when rightly used for the
purpose of teaching subjcction and di-
recting the movements of young animals.
A colt may be touched with it. but never
punished or struck in anger. Anger
should never be aroused in any animal,
much less in the man who is engaged in
teaching his colt to work. A colt prop
erly trained from its birth will have no
vicious propensties that need to be
whipped out of him. When it is first
saddled or harncssed it needs to he taught
that there is nothing to fear, and if
mounted by a boy and led by an older
person until it learns what is To be done,
1t may need to be touched by light
whip, If it has not already been taught
to lead, or, if in harness. it has not al
ready been used to the lightcst work 1t
would fully double the usefulness and
value of al! cur working animals if the
whip were abolished altogether as a
weapon of punishment and used only for
the purpose of guidance, and she }lriyprs
understood their business rs we'll sosS the
animals which have been properly trained
to it. A trained driver is as necessary
as trained team.-Neto YORK Times '

HEN 'sETrfEa, 80 = : "a

Years of experience have satisfied many
that the best results from setting hens are
obtained when they are left to them
selves. The making of desirable nests is
OF much Importance to successful hatch
ing of eggs; there are various stGcs Of
nests which have met with the vety best
of results. We have had excellent RI
suits by making nest with f%o inches
of sand for the bottom, then place hay
or straw cut short to prevent the hens
feet from catching in it and linjurip& the
eggs; hollow the nest only cublt&h t,,
prevent the eggs from rstlins oAt Id
front, sprinkle thoroughly with insect
powder, then you are ready to give the
hen possession. Place her on the nest Mt
night, and if necessary darken the box
by hanging IA cloth in front Hntilshe sets
steadily. Do not forget tG feed water
and supply the setting hen l. good
dust bath, and see that they are we'll
cared for. T..
If you intend to breed thoroughbred
poultry get the best, for it costs no more
to feed, keep and house choice stock than
it does the common mongre!s, and there
is great difference in their looks and
usefulness. 1t is waste of time and
money to breed and feed poor fowls,
when good ones can be had at fair
prices.
Use every means to tame your birds;
some breeds are more easily tanned than
others, but if you keep your poultry as
tame as a house dog they will lay more
eggs, and will also lay on more flesh than
if you had to chase them about every time
you wanted to lock them ovcr.-Poultry
