The boy says he is tired Of farm lie.
Tired of what? Is he tired of sweet,
green grass, of pure air, OF holy sun
light? Is he tired of waving grain, OF
lovely flowers, of rich, luscious fruit?
1t is time, comments Farm Field and
Strcknlan, that he learned that there
is moro TO think about and to be en-
tertained with on the farm than on
any other place on earth. "Is it pos
si6le that 1 have been with these
things all my life and knew them
not?"
Ella Brown was favorite in the last
race, q pacing affair for 2I40 PAGERS,
and to which was tied $1,000. Ella
Brown Out-classed the whole field,
but she acted miserably to-day, and
lost the second and third heats to
Watchely on her bad behavior. Ella
Brown was in Geer's stable q couple
OF seasons, and was lame all last fall.
She is lame now, in fact has been In
all her races. Some one remarked
to-day that it was 80 kind OF Hal
Pointer lameness, and l like that"

A gentleman who Is just in from
Hurricane, CulleOka and that part OF
the county, says the wheat crop was
not so badly injured as WAS expected.
He says they are sthreshing heavily
around M0oresville and that neigh
bOrhOOd. He says the corn crtP il
the best he has seen in many ear
| and the Oat crop is also very hne
| We fear however tie ont crop ir
damaged some. The straw, which II
really the best Of any straw for feed
ing purposes, and which has more
| flesh forming and carbohydrates
than any other straw, is, we lear,
badly injured. Stock will not eat 1t
unless it is clean and sound, and it is
best for it not to be too ripe.
Farm Journal: "Roys, one OF
the best things to invest money In il
an acre or two Of cheap, or perhaps
rough land, to be set TO apple trees.
| Get father to advise where, and to
take a mortgage on it, il you can't
quite paw for it. Then study up,
learn what trees are the best, what
apples are in greatest demand, how to
set and cultivate them, aud how to
beat the ORCHARD worms, and, this
fall or next spring, get good trees
and make it your business to take
care of them. 1t will be grand

with but trifiing expense on cheap
ground in few years II the trees he
properly cared for"
Our readers who do not take them
simply can not immagine the good
reading matter contained In the
average stock and farm Journal. We
have none to boom and no interest,
except friendly, in any OF them, but
we respectfully call your attention to
u few, and if you will subscribe Tor
any one Of them and give 1t to your
boy it will be the means OF doing
him more good than all the trashy

We never could, says an exchange,
understand why SO many hOrsemen
have such an antipathy toward the
pacing gait. 1t is full as easy gait
: Tor q horse to go at, and PAGER eau
win about us much money as trOt-
ter can, Why, then, should there he
any effort eXerted to render him eX-
tinet? There are, to be sure, few
! men that look upon the PAGER as q
plebeian, or as possessing no breed
Ing, but such men are behind the
times. The PAGER of to-day Is in
most cases just as well bred In trOt-
ting lines as his dia9Onal-gaited
brother, the trOtter, and az he can
win as much money, is mole easily
developed, and makes fully as good
a road horse in the cities as trotter,
it would seem that the Old-UinIe pre-
iudice against him should be heard
