ploughing may not be best, but this is In
exceptional cases. Plough deep and
thorough, but cultivate shallow, stirring
only the surface. This gives the roots
opportunity to work their way down into
the soil and at the same time avoids dis
turbing them in any way when giving the
necessary cultivation. By working their
way down into the soil they secure mois-
ture that they would not find near the
surface Deep ploughing aids the soil to
retain moisture and also to hold fertility.
L. M. H. of Russellville, writes:
have been growing watermelons for IL
years, and find that to be successful one
must have good fresh land, and hat-break
it we'll Then check it off both ways (16
feet apart, and put heaping shovelful of
well rotted manure in the check furrow
each way from the cross, leaving a space
Of three inches between the cross points
OPEN Fill this unmanured space with
dirt, plant or seeds to the hill, cover
IL inches deep, then dig little dirt up
over the manure to prevent the sun from
killing it. Wren the seeds come up and
get three leaves to each plant, pull out all
but the best looking ones; a good stand
of vines is thus secured, and all will come
on alike. Be sure to pillow and hoe the
vines as long as possible; the last time,
when the vines are two to three feet long,
run your harrow both ways, and make
the land as level as possible. After this
keep the soil well cleaned with the hoe,
and that the vines run at will. 1t is best to
have as much old trash on the ground as
possible to prevent the wind from rolling
the vines about. If the season suits, you
vii have watermelons weighing from 40
to 70 pounds each. In case Of a drouth,
punch holes in the bottom of old tomato
cans, sink them in the ground within 6
inches of tap root and fill with water. One
filing will last three days, and then if it
does not rain, FIJI again. By my method,
as here given, you can not help having
fine melons.

FARM NOTES.

Begin to think about that hot-bed, if
you intend to use one. Get Your frame
and your sashes ready.
The soil intended for the strawberry bed
should be plowed deep, ard when read y for
the plants, like a pulverized bank OF
ashes.
Fill the minds of the boys ard girls with
knowledge about agriculture, and the farm
will not be deserted.
Overlooking the hens may be the cause
of leg weakness, soft eggs, poor matches
and apoplexy, and Is often the cause OF
hens becoming egg-bound.
The cow must not have to travel a long
distance for water. If she does she will
90 without it until she gets very thirsty
and feverish, and then drink until she is
painfully uncomfortable Both conditions
are unfavorabIe for milk secretion.
Many are not aware that apples are ex-
celent food for mich CO VS. and generally
more valuable to feed than to sell at the
low prices which can be obtained for chem
for cider making The popular impress
sion is that they shrink the mess. But
they do this only when fed in excess, and
many other foods do the same.
Whatever you send to market, carry
directly to the customer if possible. The
nicer and fresher its condition the better
the price and the difference is mostly
profit. Get pay for your brains whenever
you can by studying out how to supply
some want of the market little better Or
earlier than any one else.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE OLD WIFE'S KISS.
ELIZABETH LAMB MARTIN.

The funeral-service ended, the voice of prayer
had ceased,
1t was an aged pilgrim, whose soul had been re
leased.
The neighbors were conversing in whispered I'M
dertones,
Yet the old wife at the con-head in silence stood
alone.
Her wet eyes gazed intently upon the shriveled
The furrowed history written there her SOU
could plainly trace
She in that sad moment his whole lie pic
tured there;
both were young and fair.
Again bright hope sprang to life, moment
but the pail
Recalled her desolation, her loneliness and all
No home, no husband, children gone; oh, agony
he fallen keystone of that arch could meier be
placed again.
And mid the shattered fragments she bowed hel
trembling head,
And stretched her withered, piteous hands il
silence toward the dead,
And gazed in dumb expectancy-then left one
Fxpressing every sentiment that fills a life like
this
kiss Of love, of sorrow OF memory OF fare
A kiss with whole life's history all crowded in
its spell.
But lookl whence comes that grayish hue, that
sudden gasp for breath?
The limp hands fall, the form sinks down INTO the
arms of death!
Oh, say not spirits meet and kiss. The WORKOUT
thread of life
Snapped in the ecstacy of bliss when husband
claimed his wife.
Oh, say not that his unseen hands were claspec
in grateful prayer,
When that grand kiss released her soul and gave
it to his

Home and Happiness.
Farm and Fireside.

Probably nineteen-twentieths of the hap
piness yeu will ever have you will get at
home The independence that comes to
a man when his work is over and he feels
that he has run out of the storm into the
quiet harbor Of home, where he can rest
in peace and with his family, is something
real. It does not make much difference
whether you own your house or have one
little room in that house. You can make
that one aoom true home to you. You
can people it with such moods, you can
turn to it with fancies that it will be fairly
luminous with their presence, and it will
be to you the very perfection of home.
Against this home none of you should ever
transgress.
You should always treat each other with
courtesy. It is often not so difficult to
love person as it is to be courteous to
him. Courtesy is of more value and more
royal grace than some people seem to
think. If you will be but courteous to
each other you will soon learn to love
more wisely, profoundly, and to say last
ingly, than you ever did before.

How to Buy Bees.

Spring is the best time of year to pur
chase bees, as there is d chance, at least,
of realizing upon the investment, while if
obtained in the fall by a novice, they may
perish before flowers bloom. Bees can be
safely shipped long distances, but every
thing considered, would purchase near
home, if the variety of bees, and hive pre-
ferred, can be obtained there. And there
is no risk of buying ''pig in poke. y
DO not choose hive because 1t is heavy;
you do not want honey but bees. If you
want to buy honey, get it in sections. Do
not choose hive because there are many
bees at the entrance, for thus have seen
would-be purchasers deceived. Such hives
may be queenless, and the bees having
nothing to do, no brood to feed or water to
carry, lounge and gossip at the front door
If bees are working, choose hive whose
bees are rushing in and out with the
greatest possible Dispatch if not, one that
has the most bees between combs.

plane mirror in contract with the sensitive
coating. The exposure is made, then the
development. finally the fixing, followed
by washing in the ordinary manner with
hygosulphite of soda or cyanide of
potassium. The plate has been exposed
dry, and the colors appear there when it
again becomes dry
The principle upon which the system is
based is one of the simplest in physics-to
those at least who have not yet forgotten
what is contained in the chapter on light.
There is interference between the incident
rays of light, forming the image Oh the
sensitive firm, and the rays reflected by the
mercury. Did this interference not take
place, a continuous, unbroken wave of
light would cross the Photographic plate,
by the interference by the reflected rays re-
suits in a series of frInges on the interior
of the sensitive coat, these hlnges consist
ing of maximums Of light separated by
obscure minimums. Two maxlmuDs be-
ing separated by one-half of an undulatlon,

thus broken, upon the sensitive coat Is a

Prof Lippmann's colored plates of the
solar spectrum contains all the colors of
the rainbow and also the intra-red and
ultraviolet which are invisible to the hu-
man eye except as black stripes ON lines.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily News says that Prof. Lippmann's re-
suits are very beautiful. Zone sees the
colors well in daylight or lamplight, but
better in reflected than in direct artificial
light; when the plate is held between ones
eye and the light, no trace of color can be
seen on it, but when viewed by reflected
light, the colors Of the solar spectrum ap-
pear in all their beauty 1t is to be re-
marked that thus far Prof. Lippmdnn has
been able to catch only the primary colors.
He believes, hawever, that the delicate
composite hues of nature and of human
complexion may also be cought and fixed
on the Photographic plate. And this is a
reasonable presumption.

Making Children Mind.

A mother should be carful only to make
reasonable demands upon the children s
obedience, but when once made, to enforce
them implicitly. One should be very care
full never to enter into contest over a
point that cant be enforced. A child may
be made to do certain things, but no power
on earth can force them to others, or to say
words he mas made up his mind not to
say. The prudent mother will force her
authority and teach obedience on ground
that she is sure of being able to hold.
Points she knows that she cannot carry
she will avoid until the habit of obedience
is formed, and then there will be no dis
cussion.

Fertility of Soil.

The great need of farms is increased
fertility of the soil. How 10 bring this
about without bankrupting ourselves while
doing it is the question. 1t is easy
enough to make our lands richer if we have
money to spend for manures and fertiliz-
ers; but if we have not, what shall we do ?
Undoubtedly the cheapest source of fer
tility is found in feeding live stock. Es-
timating its valuable constituents in the
same way as in commercial fertilizers, and
ton of bran is worth-after it is eaten
about S13 for manure. A ton of oil cake
is worth in the same way from Sl0 to $40

Deep Flowing

On land that has been in cultivation and
has only been ploughed shallow, deep
ploughing all at once is not advisable.
Properly managed there is no question but
MAT with majority of soils deep planting
will be found much the better plan. Not
only will the plants make better growth,
but as rule they will withstand drought
much better. But it is not best to deepen
the ploug Ching too much at one time, es-
pecially in the spring. If the ploughing
is to be deepened to any considerable ex-
tent the ploughing should be done in the
fall, as by this plan the elements will have
all winter to work upon the soil and make
available the latent elements of plant food
that are in it. To turn up on the surface
any considerable quantity of subsoil and
then plant the seed is almost certain to
give poor results. But by gradually IN
ereasing the depth, bringing up little
soil every time the ground is ploughed'
deep ploughing can be made very bene'
scial. OF course, in some soils deep

Timothy is one of the best grasses for
hay, from one-fourth to one-half bushel of
seed being required for an acre. 1t thrlves
best when undistributed, and as frequent
cropping is injurius to it; the field of
timothy should not be used for pasturing
