Not In the Purchase.

Many New England farms are known
to the people in the surrounding country
by the names Of former owners, who
perhaps moved away or died many years
ago. Martin Baker came from "York
state" to live on a fine old Vermont
farm.
The farm had belonged to his cousin,
another Baker, and the present owner
was cultivating it, as he said, "to the
very top of the notch
He painted sign for the barn, which
announced to all beholders that this was
Mountain View Farm, but to his dis
gust he heard his new property spoken
of on every hand as s'th' old Bachelor
place"
His patience was greatly tried by this
fact, and at last he broke out in rage
one day when farmer who lived a
short distance from him was explaining
to a newcomer that he, Martin Baker,
was q man who was ''fixin up th' old
Bachelor place an carlated t. hev it
known tn kentry raound.

the 'Batchelor place, though, can tell

his petrifed neighbor.

year nows Didn't buy it and pay hard
cash for it? Didn't,I buy the stock, and
the pasture land, and the wood lots, and
the meadows, and everything that ever
belonged to Bachelor? My cousin didn't
own all the land, but do. I've bought
every inch Of it and paid for it. What
is there amt done in the buyin line in
regard to that farm, and why don't the
folks call it by the name I've given it:
1t mads me,''
Il see it docs; see it docs, replied
the old farmer calmly. "Ye see, friend
Baker, TIERS jest one way ye'ye over

The custom of smoking during church
service was not confined to the laity and
minor clergy, for it is recorded that an
archbishop of York was once reproved
by the vicar of ST. Mary's, Nottingham
for attempting to smoke in the church
vestry.
The Rev. John Disney, of Swinderley,
in Lincolnshire, writing on the 18th Of
December, 1173, to James Granger
says: The affair happened in st. Mary:
church, Nottingham, when Archbishop
Blackburn was there on a visitation
The archbishop had ordered some of the
apparitors or other attendants to bring
him pipes and tobacco and some liquor
into the vestry for his refreshment after
the fatigue Of confirmation. And thi:
coming to Mr.. Disney's ears he forbade
their being brought thither; and with 9
becoming spirit demonstrated with thu
archbishop upon the improperly Of hi:
conduct, at the same time telling hi'
grace that his vestry should not be con
verted into smoking room.-All tht

Seeding Glover with Barley.

If clover seed is to be sown with spring
grain, barley is much preferable to oats.
It does not exhaust the soil as oats does,
and though its leaf is much broader than
the oat leaf the crop is cut and out of the
way week or more before oats can be
harvested. If the barley ground is fall
plowed and the grain sown or drilled in
without blowing in spring the clover
seed will catch better and make better
stand. Tho superiority of winter grain
for spring catch Of either clover OF
grass seeds is due to the fact that the
seed falls on a surface mellowed and pre-
pared by repeated freezing and thawing
through the winter.

Fighting the MoIe.

Many methods of destroying moles
have been recommended, but few of
them work successfully Poisons, such
as bisulphide Of carbon, poured into their
holes does not entirely destroy them, but
drives them to new grounds. The only
way is to kin them outright by the traps.
The best traps made for this purpose are
the best means of destroying the moles,
for the sharp thrusts Of the steel points
generally kill the animal. They must
be Of the best make, however, or they
viii fail Of their purpose. Another good
way is to watch for the animals, and
when the ground is seen to move to
thrust down a pitchfork and impale the
little fellow A great many can be kill
ed in this way.

Pnhlic Office ia China.

The Chinese system of government
lacks entirely the progressive and uni
flying element Of popular election. The
people have no voice in the choice Of
their rulers, and the rulers consider the
people as SO many sheep to be fieeced.
The officials are paid starvingly low
salaries, and many offices are openly
bought. Corruption and extortion may
therefore be said to be almost sane
toned, the only restraint being the dread
OF insurrection and the power of guilds,
clans and secret societies. There is i'm
perfect protection from robbers and
pirates, many villages preferring to sub
sidize robber bands rather than to have
to deal with the worse fo1m of robbery
practiced by the officials.-Wes

VARIETIES OF PEAS.


Notable and Standard Names Among Ex-
ira Early. Medium and Late Sorts
For success with peas a soil light and
dry but not over rich is desirable. The
sowing should be done as soon as the
ground can be worked in spring and
thereafter at intervals of ten days, for q
succession, until the 1st of June. From
four to six feet apart, according to the
height of the variety, in single or double
rows, an inch apart in the rows and fozr
inches deep in the soil, is good general
rule for sowing peas. Keep the ground
clean and fine during growth.
Among extra early peas are classed the
Alaska, a dwarf sort, very productive,
the peas blue; the First and Best, a fa-
vorite with market gardeners, being
early, productive, uniform in ripening
and Of good quality; the Daniel o 'Rourke;
the American Wonder, an extra early
wrinkled pea, productive and Of fine
quality, and the Rural New Yorker.
With early and medium peas may be
numbered McLean's Advancer, Cham
pion of England, Profusion, Pride of the
Market, Everbearing, Dwarf Sugar, etc.

saperstitious wearers Of Eiurs.

The use Of amulets for disease seems
to belong to past age, yet, in truth, su-
perstition is almost as rife today as in
the romantic times when people discov-
cred fairy rings in the meadows and, by
every wandering stream, the footprints
of the water sprites. 1t hardly seems
possible that copper rings or inlaid rings
of iron or other base metal should be
worn today to ward off disease. Yet
there are wise people, men of affairs,
who would scorn to show superstition in
greater things, who are firmly convinced
that they owe immunity from disease to
some such token.-Exchangc

Main and late crop peas include, with
with others, the Telephone, productive
pea of finest quality and sugary flavor,
pods of enormous size and vines very
strong; the White Marrowfat, a heavy
yielder, and the Ne Plus Ultra Notable
among these peas for general crop is the
Stratagem, shown in the accompanying
cut This a dwarf variety, requiring
little or no support; the pods are Of mann
moth size, with large sized wrinkled peas
of superior quality. The vines are strong
and sturdy and exceedingly productive

full crate of sections, and honey can be
taken from the hive as fast as capped
without much trouble. 1t is made Of
11s-inch lumber, should be just as wide
as the sections, and is made to hang
loosely in crate The bottom strip is
made with the bee space the same as in
sections. As many frames can be used
in crate as desired. 1t is an excellent
way to have honey put up in a first class

Emile zoIa.s yyorl,inr uorrs

Emile Zola's habits are extremely regu-
lar. He takes walk every morning,
usually leaving his house, whether at
Medan or at Paris, about 8 o'clock. He
lunches at midday, and writes from ]
o'clock till 8, receiving no visitors and
transacting no business in the afternoon.
He has particular liking for large and
massive pieces of furniture, so his writ

colossal proportions, as is also his ink

bursting Of Cabbages.

Bursting of cabbages is believed to be
caused by too rapid and vigorous
growth, owing generally to the soil and
season. 1t is not likely to occur in sound
heads after frost. For such as are al
ready affected there is no remedy other
than to pull the plants just enough to
start them and rupture some Of the roots
and thus check their growth. This is
said to be useful in such cases.

lta
that any farmer who keeps bees can
make, is described by Ohio Farmer, as
is also the frame in the second cut.
The crossbars for the sections to rest
on are let into the lower edge Of the side
boards The super is made of 15-inch
poplar lumber. If the standard section
AZ by Al inches-is used the super must
be AZ inches deep, and as long and wide
as is most convenient to suit the sections
and the size of hive. The crossbars are
u inch thick by l inch wide. 1t is i'm
portant that the crossbar be the proper
thickness. If much more than quarter
of an inch thick there will be likely to
be numerous brace combs between the
super and brood frames. The latter
should have thick topbars and spaced
properly in the hive. If more conven-
lent the crossbars can be run lengthwise
of super.
It is difficult job to make super the
proper size to hold certain number of
sections and have them fit as tight as
they should. To overcome this difficulty
the follower" is used, which is board
Just as wide as the sections are deep, and
the proper length to fit inside Of the su-
per nicely. 1t is placed against the side
of the sectors and a wedge driven be
tween it and the side of the super. This
keys the sections together tightly and
prevents the bees from propolizing them
SO much All the material for this su
per is found in the farmers workshop
and it is easily made.
The second cut represents an excellent
arrangement to keep the outside surface
of sections clean 1t is also very conven-
lent for using separators, as they can bt
tackled on the side, and they are alway;
permanent, and are not likely to be get
ting lost. 1t is also convenient for con
tracing the supers, toward the end of ths
season, when it is not profitable to put OF

JUST A LITTLE HELP.
That is All Which is Required at This
Time of the Year-Do You Know
What to Do2

We hear great deal, just now, about spring
medicines. 1t is known that people feel run
down after the labors and siege of winter. and
1t is assumed they need a spring medicine
This Is not true. Spring medicines are not
needed; nature will throw off the rheums in
the blood which have accumulated during the
winter, if she has only a little help. Nature is
able to clean her own house, and take care of
her own household, with q little assistance
and little, gentle stimulant is all the spring
medicine anyone requires. "But," you may
say, what do you mean by stimulant, and
what do require?" We answer, something
absolutely pure, powerful and which has been
proved to abundantly answer the purpose
UnqueStionably, whisky, if of the right kind
is the proper thing to use, but unfortunately
there are few good WHISTLES in the market
and only one which is absolutely pure and DOS
sesses medicinal qualities. That whisky is
Dufy's Pure Malt. 1t has been upon the
market for years. 1t has the unqualified in
dorSement OF physicians and chemists andst
is the only whisky which can be recom-
mended. 1t is true, certain unscrupuIous
druggists and grocerS seek to sell other and in
terior goods, claiming they are equal to
Duf1y's, but they possess little purity and no
medicinal power whatever, whereas Duffy's
Is specially designed as a medicinal whisky
1t would be well TO bear these facts in mind
when considering the subject of spring medi-
cines, and how to best put the system in shape
Tor the requirements of the season.
