h Experience Of n Man Who Known
How to Observe Things.
Many farmers cultivate and hoe their
crops too deep. ! used to think Tor
rather did it without thinking) that it
was the proper thing to let the culti-
vator run just as deep as / could, and
then follow with the hoe in the same
way. This was a mistake, as by so
doing ] not only cut and tore off many
of the very strongest and best roots,
that were giving my crop the very life
it needed, but also caused the ground
to become drier, and made il heavy
work for my team and men. We should
cultivate and hoe our crops as shallow
as possible. thus leaving the fibrous
roots undisturbed to grow and nourish
the plant. At the same time the thin
layer of earth that we stir acts in the
most perfect manner as a mulch.

you thus make your crop and its roots
act as a solid turn-water. Then the
cultivation you give the crop
has a tendency to make a sort of valley
between the drills, which holds the
water back. whereas if your rows run
up and down the hillside, each space
forms a perfect water drain for the
heavy showers to fill up, and the water
rush down hill, outlying out your
land badly. More than this. If one will
take the trouble to run several burrows

Waste stale bread can be bought at q
nominal price from large hotels and
bakeries. Nothing better can be fed
to chickens with vegetables and proper
seasoning than stale bread. Being as
it is a cheap and healthful food. it
often appears to me strange that more
poultrymen do not buy and feed it

is a great saving in feed. particularly
during spring and summer. when it is
more easily relished. Young chicks

AN UNPOPULAR CONDUCTOR.
The Patrons of a Street Car Line Lay tor
Him and Load Him Up.

The Patrons of a Street Car Line Lay tor
Him and Load Him Up.
On a certain line controlled by the
West End street railroad, there is a
conductor who yanks his bell-strap just
as well, perhaps. as any other. and
rings in the nicllels with all the grace
which comes of long experience; but
the fact goes that he is exceedingly I'M
popular with his brother conductors
and the regular passengers on his car.
He owes his fall in the opinion of his
associates to the unpleasant frequency
with which he reports their petty de-
linquencies, and the lack of esteem in
the hearts Of his passengers to his
bearish and studied incivility.
A Traveller reporter who was cogniz-
ant Of the above facts happened to board
this mans car the other morning. 1t
was pretty well filled up with business
men, and the man with pen and ink
was amused at the manner taken to
roast the unpopular man. 1t seems
that the morning before he had drawn
further indignation upon himself by
kicking a little newsboy who had
jumped upon the footboard at the call
of a passenger. The plot developed as
he passed down the car to take fares.
The first man handed him five
the second followed suit, and the third
drew the same amount of fractional
currency from his cash pocket.
Coppers fairly rained on him, while
everybody began to wear a broad grin
at the disguised look of the man in
blue. One man varied the monotony
by handing in a nickel three-cent piece
and two old-fashioned cartwheel cop
pers. The reporter meanwhile was
posted and followed suit. When the
conductor reached the rear end of the
car the junk fairly sagged him out of
shape. When it is explained that con-
ductors cannot turn in coppers when
they hand over the fares, the disgust of
this man can be understood. Three
dollars worth Of coppers, the esti-
mated amount which he received, was
enough to sink him if he had fallen

It is fact that Mr.. Blaine peremptor-

IN the convention Of 1888. is further
true that it took tho best efforts OF his

Mr.. Blaine wants the nomination II will
take strong field to keep him out of 1t,

Republicans have denounced the re-

who had not given much attention to

their party attributed this to mere par

they are unwilling to violate the oath

The President is loo good a lawyer to
assume, as he is SAID to, that he can ap-
point without "the advice and consent
of the Senate" the new circuit judges
provided for by Congress, waiting for
the Senate in regular session to act on
the nominations. No vacancy has hap
pened within the meaning Of the Con-
stitution, and there Is no reason for pro-
ceeding without the Senate. Great
confusion might follow the course which
the President is said TO intend TO pursue
and which must surely be far from his
intention.
