Some of the most conspicuous effects
that may be realized from group
ing and placing trees are: l. The for
nation of distinct groups of the various
species and varieties. 9. Planting ever
greens with view to forming dis
tinct winter scenery. s. To gradually
blend evergreen and deciduous planta-
tions by pleasing connections. 4 To
place certain trees in conspicuous posi-
tions. 8. To plant with reference to
individual beauty, as also with regard
to the resulting from combination of
forms G. To produce a pleasing sky
outline to all heavy masses or distinct
groups. Z. To plant with regard to
autumn coloring and tho introduction
of Towering trees. All Of these effects
may not be obtainable on tho lawn,
but iudicious selection and planting
will combine a considerable number OF

A-siace left the village whero lived as boy
and man,
And settled in the city here, where things are
spick and span,
I've noticed something queer about the work.
ings Of my watch
1t seems 10 be forever running backward, notch
by notch.
I've took it TO the goldsmith and inquired the
reason why,
But he says he thinks the trouble it's mostly in
my eye.
I've bought some new speetaoles Cthey're
brighter than the old,
But still my watch runs backward and the
past alone is told.
When I take it from the pillow, just before the
break Of d-y,
1t reminds me OF the morning that our Jamie
went away
Went awa-a-ay to the metropolis-and all the
hopes and fears
Come surging to my heart again, and melt
themselves in tears.
And when the dawn comes struggling through
the shadows Of the street
hear mufied ticking like the pit-apat Of
feet
And Sairey's little toddler, with his towsled
golden head,
Comes in again and chambers up the side Of
grandpas bed.

the hour,
But in its place some picture o'er my senses
wields power.
At noon hear the dinner-horn, and Join the
merry band,
For once again feel myself hungry harvest

At one o'clock, at two, at three, fond recollec-
And shut away the present scene, and still the
city's hum.
AT six o'clock the COWS begin to low, at eight
the chores are done,
And fairy realms are wrought OF clouds above
the hidden sun.
At nine-I blush and stammer then-Tm not

For that's tho blessed hour asked sweet
'Lindy to be mine.
At ten kneel beside crib and breathe fer
vent prayer:
10, God, o, Father, hear our pleal In mercy

And then the hour grows dark and chill; the
night winds, passing, sigh.
As, bending low, kiss farewell and see my
firstborn die
No matter what the hour at whicA the watch
may point its hands,
Each figure on the dial for some dear remem-
brance stands.

eight
And saw the school, mil away, and knew
should be late.
But 'Lindy said: Good gra cious, John, that
watch IS awful slow:
You haven't been schoolb oy since some sixty
years ago"
And so my watch goes ticking, ticking back

until the top is reached. AS soon as

ABOUT SPOTTED FIELDS.
aew To Make Every Acre ON the Farm
z Produce Its Best.

aow tn Make Every Acre ON the Farm
Produce Its Best.
There are To be found ON almost
every farm what may be termed
spotted fields.n BY this are meant
fields which have defective places in
them, where the crops have made q
poor return In this oat field there
may be found a spot where the straw
was short and on the stalks no heads
In that corntield is o place where the
ears failed to set and where there was
scarcely any growth of stalk. Out in
the meadows are thin spots where the
grass forgot to grow, and yonder bar
rem knoll in the pasture is evidence In
itself that it is not doing as well rs il
should.
It's we'll 10 oconsider these significant
hints furnished by the fields and patch
up the deficient places. Some one has
said that he who farms poor land
should always go about the place with
clover seed in one pocket and gypsum
in the other This fgurative express
sion may be taken quite literally by
almost every farmer Immediately after
harvest, for the efarms-particularly in
the east-are few upon which no un-
productive places are to be found. It
needs not the chemist to analyze the
soil to tell what these places need.
Two things may be given as the rem
edy on nine-tenths of the farms, viz,
manure and drainage. Let the barren
spots be well covered with manure or
fertilizer of some sort, and If the opera
ton is repeated again in the spring so
much the better. Let the wet places
be drained and thus convert waste into
productive land. Tile is good invest
ment on any land that needs it, for the
land is virtually worthless without
If intensive farming is to be the most
successful farming in the future. then
every acre and part of an acre must be
made to produce its very best Wet
places must be reclaimed, half pro-
ductive spots must be made to bear full
crops, and wide brier hedges along the
fences must fall before the bush hook
Rocks perhaps appear in patches, en-
dangering plowshare, reaper and
mower. They should be picked up and
carted off. They are commonly heaped
in some corner or along the edge of

sired to be delivered from his friends
and likewise, perhaps, their remedies.
If by this time neither the patient
nor the ague have succumbed to the
treatment there remains, if he does not
retain energy enough to resist them,
the water cure, the earth cure, the old
Uncle Darby Hicks cure, the pack and
one or two other that do not now re-
call.
Mr.. Watts Lazenberry and his ague
had survived all these cures, and while
the poor man, by reason of the disease
and the remedies, had been reduced to
q pitiable condition of resignation to
almost anything, the ague seemed in
nowise discouraged. 1t was about this
time that he experienced the original
method of treatment of his son, Pink
ney, who the family were agreed was
destined to become great inventor.
'For the land sales" Mrs Lazen-
berry would often exclaim in admiring
contemplation of her sons latest
achievement. "What will Pinkney do
next?"
That seemed an unanswerable ques-
ton, for the somewhat remarkable
things that his ingenious brain had
already melted him to accomplish
seemed to promise almost anything in
the way of unexpected results.
''Just think how he spliced out
Jolly's tall" his mother would say
pridefully, when reverting to Pink
ney's record and apparent possibilities
"Who else would have thought of such
thing?"
Probably no one.
Jolly, the dog, had for long time
managed to get along very well with
an abbreviated caudal appendage-the
result of a youthful mistake which led
him to attack large and cannibalistic
tramp dog. For some. reason Pink
finally conceived the IDEA that jolly
needed more tail, and proceeded to sup
ply it.
Perhaps if the reader had felt called
upon to retail dog he would have con-
structed a serviceable if not ornament
al tail by making cloth contrivance
not unlike a stuffed club. AT least l
should have done so. But Pink re-
solved that Jolly should have n tail
that he could feel proud of, no matter
in what company he might find him
