The Management of stubble Fields.

Now that harvest is well nigh on err
the problem Of how to manage the stub
bic fields is worthy of serious consider
alton. When these have been soWn
to clover and timothy and the stand is
perfect or good and the growth rank,
there is nothing further to be done
or desired. There will be no waste Of
nitrates through fall rains, as the soil
viii be completely filled with roots, and
tility viii 90 bravely on.
Unfortunately many farmers have not
yet learned the great value of clover III
this respect, and many fields with moth
ing profitable to occupy them viii, like
lille Eoys or men, proceed to do mis-
chief. Whenever the rainfall is abund
ant rs it is this year over nearly all the
western states, q crop of weeds viii
spring up us il by magic. This may, to
a great extent, be avoided, by simply
running over the field with a disc har-
row and thus covering the shatterings
which will, by their immediate growth,
prevent the waste Of nitrateS, and at
the same time produce a crop Of oats
or wheat that will have some value as
forage, and at the same time smother
out the growth of weeds. When this
is not done and the weeds have a
start we would let them grow until they
are in bloom, and then NOW them and
barn them when dry. After all there is
no purifier like fire. Nothing will ST
completely destroy weed seeds ana
whole bodies of nOxious insects as
sweeping fire that will lick up every
thing clean. The ground will then be
in the very best condition for late fall
or early spring planting.
Wien farmers are preparing to put in
4 crop of winter wheat on stubble
ground we advise burning the ground
over under all circumstances. In burn
ing stubble there is no waste except Of
nitrogen, and the amount of this is 50
small Ill stubble that it is not worth
speaking of, and the damage that the
stubble will do in preventing a solid
seed bed is far more than the value Of
the nitrogen. Every farmer knows how
nicely the ground works after it has
been burned over, and how easy it is
then to secure a good seed bed. In adj
dition, great hordes of insect pests have
been destroyed. The ash of the stubble
contains all the elements of real value
except the nitrogen. Try the renovat-
ing value Of fire on these stubble fields, |
and after trying once the practice VIII
be continued.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Gleanings,

Trying to kill with the tongue is as
bad as doing it with a club
Every good man gives a living en-
phaSis to his pastors sermons.
1t is only the body that grows old.
The soul will remain young forever
You will do good, less by what you
say or do, or even give, than what you
are.
Every man makes a terrible mistake
who chooses for himself instead Of let
ting God choose for him.
People who fish for compliments do
not need long lines. They will get
their best bites in shallow water.
We are tremendously at the mercy
Of our characters. If what we say is
not backed by our character it is
pOWerless.
How much easier it is to sit in the
shade and tell our friends what we in
tend to do, than it is to go out in the
sun and do it.
The longing soul is always the loving
soul. ''He satisieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with good
I ess''
Melvill: The harp of the human
spirit never yields such sweet music
us when its framework is most shat
tered and it strings most torn.
A man that puts himself Of the
ground Of moral principle, if
the whole world be against him, is
mightier than all of them. A man
ought not to fear being in minorities so
that mf~orities are based upon princi-
pies.

Pickin Q Apples.

S. FL. P, Ohio: Just at what period
in their growth apples should be pick
ed from the tree depends 50 much on
the variety and the season as to make
it difficult to determine in all cases. On
this point farmers differ considerably
i'll their practice. There is a strong in
ducement to gather them early before
many have fallen to the ground, and
some believe that those picked while
they are a little green will keep better
than if allowed to remain longer on
the tree. Others, referring to eneir
own experience, show that upon the
whole, while they may not gather as
many barrels, the crop will be more
saleable and bring more money if pick
ed then more mature but not oyerripe
and ready to drop from the tree. So
far as the keeping of the fruit is con-
cerned, | believe more depends on the
apples are handled at the picking and
their treatment afterwards than upon
few days difference in the gathering.
4 drop into the basket hard enough to
cause a bruise in an apple will produce
rot soon after it is packed away.
Leaves and twigs should be carefully
excluded, and the apples well pressed
down so there will be no shaking of
he fruit when the barrels are moved.
These should be stored, if possible, in
Il place where a uniformly cool temper
AZURE can be maintained, and with good
ventilation. AS between a damp or
wet cellar and one extremely dry, the
former is the preferable place.

corn is comparatively low in price and
SO abundant as to be slow of sale.
which is rarely the case with wheat.
Where the ground is we'll prepared,
and especially on soils well adapted TO
wheat, | consider it as safe a crop lis
one can raise; but, OF course. we are
liable TO unfayorable seasons when
there may be failure, even with the

more for the purpose OF giving the
plants good start, so that they may
become well rooted and pass through
the winter safely, then with any ex-
Iectaion of a large increase in the
amount of grain, provided the land has
sufficient natural fertility to nuriSh the
crop. On well prepared soil from five
TO six pecks of clean seed to the acre
will be enough, and if covered two
inches deep during September 4 fairly
remunerauve crop may be expected,
without expending a large amount of
artificial fertilizers.

Whore 10 Shnnr ReInno.o

American Farmer: They belong to
every situation where civilized beings
belong. They adapt themselves to the
most fOrlCrn conditions, and taking
characteristics in harmony With their
environment, become as indigenous to
the situation as do the human beings or
wild animals that may be found there.
IN a wild state, we are told, they are
natives of hills and mountains In the
domestic state they have a liking for
the higher lands in their pastures. This
is due to different causes, and gives
them special preference over other ami
mails in the permanent fertiliza ton of
sterile hilltops and barren hillsides. God
made them as the helpmate of man in
agriculture as well as civilization

Scotch Steamer, Auchmountain,
Blown Into Small
Pieces.
Twenty Tons of Gunpowier ON
Board-Buildings On Shore
Shaken.
Some of the Crew Badly Injured
But No One
Killed.

GREENoCK, Sept. 3.-The people Of
this city and vicinity We're startled this
morning by deafening roar that was
subsequently ascertained to have been
caused by powder explosion.
The new bark Auchmountain, with
twenty tons of gunpowder on board,
had been lying at anchor on the Firth
of Clyde, off Greenock. Those persons
who were looking in the direction of
the bark say they saw binding flash
of lightning, which was followed by
conclusion which shook the earth.
Then a dense smoke arose, and
when it lifted little it was seen that
the bark was blown to pieces. Her
poop deck, matches and deck houses
were blown to pieces, while her masts
were broken off and fell alongside the
wreck. The topgallant forecastle
was blown out and the whole
torn to pieces. Aft the destruction
was just about as complete. The long
boat, which was lying upturned on top
of the galley, was caught up and went
sailing through the air at a tremendous
rate of speed. Above the water line
the planking was blown out, leaving
huge holes, while below many of the
butts were started, and the water
poured IN in torrents.
On shore the effects of the explosion
were extensive. The windows of
houses and shops along the water
front We're shattered and some of
the older houses swayed to and fro as
though moved by an earthquake.
Many windows were also broken
furtheH up in the city and for little
time there was considerable excite
ment. not to say alarm, but it quickly
subsidized when the cause of the COM
motion became known.
A most peculiar feature of the acct
dent is that nobody on board of the
bark was killed. Some of the crew
were badly burned, some were thrown
into the water, but none were lost.

famous French author, had a servant,
Antoine by name, who had long been in
his service, and against whose tyranny
he seldom ventured to rebel. One even
ing, in his old age, the great nan was
engaged in a game Of chess, when An
TOME entered and said, somewhat
sharply, but respectfully:
Monsieur, it is 10 o'clock"
VERY well, Antoine the master an
swered: but let me finish the game
If you don't come now, monsieur,
you will be tried tomorrow morning"
oh, no.; l think not, Antoine"
And being tired you will not want to
get up"
''Oh, yes, Antoine; shall get up
NO, monsieur; you will not get up"
All right, Antoine; l will go in a
few moments"
And if you are not up, monsieur, at
the usual time, you will derange your
whole day"
In a minute, in a ninuter'
And you will have no appetite for
breakfast, monsieur
OOLA1S, AONs 1CL I4C 11ILSll ILLS Sd1lS.
Can't you see the clock is fast?"
But the clock is slow, monsieur"
Il tell you it is fastp'
The clock is slow, monsieur"
Now, now! The game is almost
done, and then"
But if the game were almost done
you would not have so many pawns
left, monsieur
Antoine, I should have been done
already if you had let me alone"
But [ shall not let you alone, mon
sieur."
/. Il tell you I shall finish the game.
Get out, Antoiner'
I'VE will get out together, monsieur. y
Antoine, I'm not a baby
You do not cry, monsieur. Aside
from that there is not much differer-
ence."
The dialogue went on in this way for
some time. Beaumarchais, Struggling
his shoulders, moved a pawn on the
chess board, and then Antoine, bowling
very low, and with a great outward air
Of respect to the company, seized the
board and tipped it over, dumping the
cbessmen in a heap on the floor
BeaUmarchais was on the point of
flying into a violent rage, but at the
sight of his valet, who stood by, wear
ing an air of sweet humility joined with
consciousness of duty nobly done, he
burst into a fit of laughter and suffer
Ell himself to be led home and put t.
bed.
The very next morning Beaumarchais
was found dead in bed Whether or
not the excitement of this mild contro-
versy with his valet FASTENED his death
is not known. Antine, at any rate, was
sire that he had done his duty, and it
is quite possible that his care of the old
gentleman had already prolonged his
life
