LINCOLN an In.trument Of cod.

The Richmond VA Dispatch some
time ago adversely criticised the editor
of the Louisville Courier-Journal be-
cause he styled Abraham Lincoln "The
inspired of God" To this criticism
Mr.. Watterson last week replied edi-
torially and from his mastery effort
the following is quoted:
From Caesar to Bismarck and Glad
stone the world has had its soldiers
and its statesmen who rose to eminence
and power, step by step, through a
series of geometrical progression, as it
were, each promotion following in reg
ular order, the whole obedient to we'll
understood laws of cause and effect.
These were not what we call linen
of destiny" They were men Of the
time. They were men whose cause
had a beginning, middle and
an end, rounding off q life with
a history, full, it may be, of interest
ing and exciting events, but compre-
hcnsible and comprehensive, simple,
clear and complete. The inspired men
are fewer. They rose from shadow
and they went in mist. They arrived,
Gods word upon their lips; they did
their Office, Gods mantle about them;
and they passed away, Gods holy light
between the world and them, leaving
behind memory half mortal and half
myth.
Tried by this standard, and observed
in an histrionic spirit, where shall we
find an illustration more impressive
than in Abraham Lincoln, whose lifel
career and death might be chanted by
Greek chorus as at once the prelude
and the epilogue of the most imperial
theme of modern times?
Born as lowly as the Son of God, in
a hovel; reared in penury, squalor,
with no CLEAN Of light nor fair sur
rounding; it was reserved for this
strange being, late in life, without
name, or fame or preparation, to be
snatched from obscurity, raised to SUI
preme command at supreme moment,
and intrusted with the destiny
of a nation. Where did Shak-
speare get his geniusP Where did
Mozart get his music? Whose hand
smote the Tyre of the Scottish plowman
and staid the life of the German priest?
God, alone, and, as surely as these
were raised up by God, inspired of
God, was Abraham Lincoln; and a
thousand years hence no story, no
tragedy, no epic poem will be filed
with greater wonder than that which
tells Of his life and death. If Lincoln
was not inspired of God then there is
no such thing on earth as special provi-
dence or the interpositiou of divine
power in the affairs of men.

Pasturing Sheep.

A correspondent of the New York
World cautions against pasturing sheep
on the same fields with cattle and horses.
In the first place their manure scattered
over the ground fouls the grass and
makes it offensive to COWS and horses,
and then the closer cropping of sheep is
liable to reduce the grass to such pro-
portions that the larger animals will fail
to get their fair share. Sheep will live
and thrive on rough and bushy lands
where milk cows will not find q fair
maintenance, and except when they can
be made useful in the COW pastures as
weed destroyers it is better to keep sheep
in field by themselves. In the case of
all the grazing animals, more sustenance
will be gained from the same acres,
where it can be divided into two or
more Enclosures, in which the animals
can be pastured alternately. Sheep, and
especially the young of the flock, may
often be allowed to run in a corn field to
advantage early in the fall while the
stalks are standing erect and before the
maturing of burrs, which would stick 70
their wool. They will eat the lower
blades from the cornstalks and crop the
weeds that may be growing without in
juring the grain, thus cleaning the field
up nicely before the corn is cut and

Turnips as q Second Crop.

"The turnip is the only crop know OF
that can be depended on to mature with
late sowing" says New Jersey farmer.
"The cool nights of early autumn suit ii
well, and unlike most other plants slight
frosts do not injure it or check its
growth. Planted after early maturing
first crops it is the most certain second
crop that can be raised. When q portion
can be sold as vegetables, even at a low
price, and the balance is fed out or sold
to others as stock food, l look upon the
turnip as profitable crop to. be raised.
1t produces so abundantly when every
thing is favorable that it would be easy
to overstock the market, but at the same
time it is true that the market is not
often greatly overstocked with it. One
of the advantages from sowing turnips
as late summer and fall crop is the
shading that is given to the land which
would otherwise be exposed fully to the
sun after first crop of any kind is taken
off. This Of itself l believe will more
than pay for all the fertility it removes
from the soil. The green leaves of the
crop act as n covering and mulch until
they are harvested, and no other crop
seems to leave the ground in so good a
condition for a different one to follow it.
Often turnip seed may be scattered be-
tween the rows of field corn at the last
cultivation and good yield obtained"

POLE OR RUNNING BEANS.

Popu1ai Plans for Giving support to
Lima and other Running Varieties.
The plan most universally practiced
for giving support TO the running varie-
ties of beans is getting a pole in the
center of each hill and planting the
beans around it. The objection to this
plan is that it calls for great many
poles, and these are not always avail
able. A trellis described in Popular
Gardening consists of two wires-one
stretched over posts four feet high and
the lower one about six inches from the
ground, with white cotton yarn wound
zigzag around them. The bean plants
take very readily to this support, require
very little coaxing and no tying. This
trellis when covering with thrifty bean
foliage, is as ornamental q feature of
the garden as one would wish to see.
In the illustration here reproduced
from the journal referred to, one pole is
made to serve as a support for four hills.
The pole is set in the center Of the four
hills, and string stretched from its top
to hooked peg in center of each hill. 1t
is simple way and answers quite well.

SaMlust as q EertiliZer.

1t is not out of place to give word of
caution against using much sawdust of
the soft woods or those which sour in
the process of decomposition, such as
pine, hemlock, Eastwood and oak. On
most soils an extensive use of these
woods will impart tendency to cold
ness in the soil and to the growing of
moss if land is left long in grass. This
has been the result in other parts of the
country where sawdust of these woods
had been extensively used. The saw
dust Of beech, maple and ash, and other
woods of this character, which decom-
pose quickly, has been used to consid-
cradle extent in some of the eastern
states with seeming beneficial results,
especially upon clayish soils, their chief
Office being to tighten the otherwise
heavy soil.-Prairie Farmer.

ONE POLE TO FOUR HILLS OF BEANS.
One of the advantages of the trellis for
training beans is that the beans may be
planted in q continuous row and after
ward thinned cut. Thorough cultiva-
ton and frequent hoeing induce rapid
and vigorous growth of the young
plants. Bear in mind that the running
or pole beans are tenderer than the bush
varieties, and therefore ought not to be
planted until the weather is settled and
the soil warm. The lima bean requires
for best results high culture in wet sandy
loan.
