CHAPTER l.

The 18th of May, 1881, was warm,
oppressive day in st. Louis. The lime
stone of its pavings, which is always
dust when il is not mud, and mud
when it is not dust, was whirled about
by little furries of air, and forced into
the eyes, noses and ears of all passers
on the streets. The sun beat down
with what would be July heat in al
most any other American city not dis
tinctively in the South. In st. Louis
it was simply genial spring warmth.
From Fourth street eating saloon,
where, as brazen card informed you,
you could get ga splendid course din
ner, all for 25 cents" there stepped out
a neatly dressed young man picking
his teeth with a wooden tooth-pick
thrown in with the splendid course
dinner" This dinner had not, evil
IDENTIFY, been to his liking. There is a
suggestion of poverty about those rs.
cent dinners, outside the close smell
of the room in which they are
served, and the soiled linen of the
table, walters, and fellow-diners,
not at all appetizing to one of even
small refinement. The bill of fare

No vegetable makes better succulent

When shipping dressed fowls be sure

More money can be got out of cheap
wheat by feeding it to hens than by any
other manner of disposing of it that we
are aware of.
Try crimson clover as a source of
green food for fall, winter and spring.
Where seasons are not very severe it
grows all winter.
IL houses are to be erected the work

Milk and wheat will help the young

is equally adapted to the old birds.

Gauntlet cuffs are worn on all varie.

The half handkerchief and the Nor.

bonnet shapes.
A new glove feature is the cuff, which
is not gauntlet, but a straight cuff

Fine broadcloth is used for expensive
capes. A bright canary color makes
one which is worth looking at. The
capes are of various lengths, but
whether long or short are topped by
cape collars, gathered or jaboted.
Velvet is used on even the coarsest
cloth. A favorite disposition of it is the
trimming of the cloth cuff with a velvet
band sewed down on all edges, and a
big button at each end. If the velvet is
used to face the cuff almost TO the back
no buttons are employed.
Much white matelasse is to- be used
for opera wraps, and white and gold
passementerie fringe will be a favorite
trimming. White passementerie is Of

stores, and is so pretty that every WON

some use for it.-New York Times.

Whether soil intended for spring crops

plowing to pay for so doing will depend
entirely on the character Of the soil. No

low plowing viii be best adapted to the

from the freezing and thawing of the ex-
posed rough surfaces, which will put
them into better condition TO be well
pulverized by the spring cultivation. A
sandy soil is not likely to be benefited by
much blowing or by deep cultivation.
and no soil of any description should be
plowed deeply, either in the fall or
spring, if the result is the turning up to
the surface of portions of poor subsoil
to be cultivated. Level lands will gem
orally be benefited by fall plowing as an
aid in changing the inert plant food they
may contain into soluble fonns, and by
covering up and Incorporating stubble
and vegetable refuse in the SOIL

Winter Killing of Clover.


1t is believed by the editor of Hoard's
Dairyman that a great deal of the loss
through so called winter killing of clover
comes from another cause.-the allowing
the clover to mature too far before cut
ting. He says: Glover is biennial
plant-that is, it lives two years or until
1t seeds, and then it dies. The same root
never seeds twice; hence it must die.
The way TO keep it alive and strong is to
cut 1t before the formation Of the seed
IN the head and cut another crop later
IN the season. say in September, cutting
that also before any seed is formed. In
this way the plant does not perform the
purpose of nature and object Of its life.
which Is the production of seed. As long
as II IS thwarted in this purpose the
plant struggles to exist and is vigorous.

on "How to Make the Garden Pay" we
quote. does not advise the novice to at
tempt wintering even part of the crop,
rs this is task which involves risk even
for the more experienced.
Onion sets are also harvested when the
tops begin TO die down, either by lifting
ont with the onion-set attachment Of the
Planet, Jr, weelhoe or by raking in
windrows five or six rows together, care
being taken of course to get the teeth
well under the bulbs. They are left on
the ground for two or three days to cure
and then taken under shelter and spread
out on a dry floor to be cleaned at lei
sure. This is done by rubbing the sets
between the hands to remove remnants
of tops and roots and adhering soil or
sand and by running through tanning
mill afterward. All bulbs that will not
readily pass through q grain sieve with
"a inch meshes are too large for sets and
should be sold or used for picking on
ions. Another method of harvesting
consists of running large garden trow-
ell lengthwise under the row, lifting up
the bulbs with soil adhering to them and
throwing into a small meshed sieve to
sift out the sand and soil.
In storing for winter, the bulbs-some-
times mixed with chaff-sre piled up
four or five inches deep in dry loft,
there allowed to freeze and covered with
a foot or SO of straw or hay until spring.
Or they may be stored in shallow open
crates and protected from alternate
freezing and thawing.

Senator Vance.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Vance arrived here this morning
from his mountain home, at Goul-
broom, N. c., where he was taken
sick the middle of last week. Al
though the Senator rode ten miles
on blackboard yesterday and spent
last night on the cars, he made the
trip without serious discomfort.
Aside from the disagreeable effects
of the application of mustard plas-
ters and hot bags TO his body, and
of the morphine administered to
him to relieve his sufferings, he is
comparatively comfortable.
When he reached his home he
ate light breakfast, took a warm
bath and went to bed, where he en-
joyed rest after his long journey.
Later in the day he sat up for a
time. Mrs. Vance, the Senator's
wife, says she hopes it will be mat
ter of but a few days before her hus-
band is able to be out again and re-
sumo his Senatorial duties. The
cause of his recent attack, she says
was the result of a little imprudence
on the part of the Senator. He was
engaged during his recent visit
to Gombroon in experimenting
operations on the plantation. One
day in the middle of last week,
while the sun was very warm, he
stood out in the damp field for some
time talking with one Of his en-
ployes. As a consequence he per-
spired freely. Going up to his house
he sat down in large, comfortable
chair, on the shady side of the YER
anda, and while sitting there he
was taken with chill, which de-
veloped into lumbago and sclatica.
Owing to the remoteness Of the place
considerable delay was experienced
in securing the services of physic-
ian, during which time the Senator
suffered intensely. Domestic remedies
were applied, but they did not bring
substantial relief. After waiting
some time physician arrived at
the house, land administering hypo-
dermic injection Of morphine, sue
ceeded in alleyiating the sufferings
of the Senator in very brief time.
