hoelng and Praying.

Said Farmer Jones in whining tone
To his good old ncishtor Gray
1--WE worn my knees through To the bone,
But it amt ne use To pray,
"Your corn looks Just twice as nice as mine.
Though you dpn pretend to be
A shiniu light in the church to shine,
An tell salyations free
ave prayed to the Lord thousand times
For To make that ere corn grow;
An why Youn beats it so, an climbs,
I'd gin deal to know
said Farmer Gray to his neghbor Jones,
In his easy, quiet way
when prayers get mixed with lazy bones
They don't make farmiu pay.
"Your weeds notice, are good an tall
In spite Of all your pta.ersi
You may pray for your corn til the heavens fall
Ifyou don dig up the tafes.
81 mix my prayers with iitte toll,
Along in every row,
An work this mixture into the soil

"Aa I've discovered, though still III sin,
As sure as you are born,
This Kind Of compost we'll worked in
Makes pretty decent corn.
So while I'm praying use my hoe,
An do my level best
10 keep down the weeds along each row.
An the Lord, He does the rest.
"lts well to pray both night and morn,
As every farmer knows;
"But the place to pray for thrifty corn
Is rght between the rows.
"You must use your hand while praying
though.
II an answer you would get;
For prayer worn knees an rusty hoe,
Never raised big crop yet
AN so believe, my good old friend,
II you mean to win the day,
From ploughing clean to the harest's end,
You must hoe as well as pray"

Does 1t Pay to Raise Horses?

THIS question was asked me few days
since. Alter answering 1t in the ailirma-
tive, thought the matter over carefully,
and Lere are the results
l. ! am working IL farm of 40 acres,
and need three hcrses to do every thing
conveniently.
2 1t does not need any more capital to
have two of the three horses brood mares
8 Judiciously managed, / need not
lose weeks work of either of them ON the
farm in tie year because of their foaling a
colt
4 1t does not require any extra help on
the farm to care for the colts as il does
with All increased number of cows
Now, as to how manage the breeding,
etc.: have two mares ut the present time
one foaled Der colt the first of May, tue
other will foal hers about the first of Sep
TENDER. In this way have one of them in
shape for any heavy work in the spring;a and
the colt leaned from the other, ready for
tile fall blowing and other heavy work.
There Is often mistake made in think ng
that to breed good horses the mars must
not be worked. My own experience proves
this, as l have tried beth methods
What shall we raj Ell Is often question.
WeI, Thise WIN tne MARKET demands most
and this believe to be horses 1G hands, or
near that, and good sharp roadsters, that
willlweigh from 900 to / 200 pounds. Any
color will always find its admirers, but
bay, back or brown aud chestnut Gre col
ors that are always in demand
Another thing-when find am using IA
sire that makes good cross with dam,
am perfectly satisfied to keep on raising
that kind of horse. Another great mistake
is nearly always made-that of breeding
from worn out, ,unsound and, mnny times,
vicious mares
am at present breeding Clay mare six
years cd with her second colt by her side
For the sire am using a Hambetonlau.
Tits l find to be splenGid coupling
Brother farmers, don't be afraid to breed
horses; there will always be demand and
no horse sells better than agood State bred
road horse; they tit in we'll almost every
where. Just think Of it. New York City
alone loses by death about 1900 hors es
annually. and as many more get lame and
disabled. Add to this the losses in other
cities and the country, and what would the
number be? Does it pay? say yes, and
emphatcally, too.-Cor. Country Gentle
