she would not assume in his own city home.
At night the electric light is called in to
aid the police to maintain propriety, and its
blaze leaves hardly q shadow from one end
OF the long line of sand to the other.
Formerly the lights were turned off at 1880,
and every one was obliged to leave the
beach at that hour. Those who wished to
study the surf during the late evening
could go no farther than the sidewalk. The
utter lack of apparent confidence in the
patrons of these two resorts is further ac-
centuated by the actions of the police when
they come to clear up the beach at mid
night, the present closing hour. They ad-
vance rapidly along the sidewalks over the
beach and flash lanterns all along under it
to see if some one is not reclining there to
escape their vigilance.

that the passion Play" of Oberammergau,

all others in their hospitality.
Their seven tents were pitched about half
a mile from Bemus Point and the men evil

bicycles, and besides thoroughly exploring
the f1ne roads in this vicinity 1t Is limited
that more than one young lady has taken
her initial trip on q wheel through the as
sistance Of the members.
On Friday evening of last week the club
added the last feather to its cap OF popular
ity by issuing general invitation to friends
at the different hotels OF Bemus Point and
Point Chautauqua to assemble at the camp,
where reception from to IL was held.
Fully $50 people were entertained and
amused by the races, of which the following
is @ BRIEF summary:

by Gale.
After the athletic exercises came several
solos, duets, quartets, etc, both vocal and
instrumental, whicn received hearty en-
cores. The ladies and gentle men were then
RECALLED upon cake, ice cream. lemonade and
other refreshments, and left with many and

1t is also related of him that, young as he
was, on one occasion he was placed in

years after, told the story in this way:
'1t happened to me, that King Reinier
(whom God has taken to Himselt), sent me
to Tunis, to capture the galley Fernandina,
and when arrived off the Island of ST.

there were two ships and a carrack with
the galley; by which intelligence my crew

Trying to Calm the Sea.

An attempt has been made, with consid-
cradle success. in Paris, to supersede the
old fashion of floating oil for lessening the
force Of the waves. The new plan is to
cover the surface of the sea around an en-
dangered vessel with thin cotton or silken
net rendered unsubmersible by being dipped
in a special preparation. The idea was
suggested by the fact that when crossing tine
track of the Gulf Stream it has been noticed
that the vast spreading fields of floating
seaweed within the confines of the stream,
though upheaved by the swell, remain
CLASSY and smooth.

the shrilling of the field cricket, though
sharp, yet marvelously delights some hear
ers, filling their minds with train of sum-
mer ideas of everything that is joyous
like all the kinds, but am best ac-
quainted with the house cricket, as my
earliest remembrance is of sitting before a
large open wood fire and hearing the
cricket's shrill note coming from the jamb
as we called the side of the fireplace.
This sound, mingled with the buzz of the
spinning wheel, where Aunt Peggy sat
spinning fax, made to my infant ears music
more enchanting than any Patti can make
for me now. 1t is associated, too, with the
swapping and cracking of the fire, where
the blazing sticks of chestnut were sup
ported by q hickory back log so large that
it took three men to roll it in, and SO solid
that it lasted week.
Their song is made, not from the throat
as you might think, but by rubbing of their
wings, raising one wing and moving it over
the other after the manner of a fiddle bow.
The males only make the noise, singing, or
rather fddling, both day and night. and an
ancient Greek poet thus-rather ungallantly,
l Ithink-congratulates them:

1t looks as if the pillow would have to
fall to the rear as a farm implement,
says the Peoria Transcript. From all
parts Of the west comes the advice,
Don't pillow your ground for oats. Plow-
ing is slow, hard on horses, and when
done is not as good as surface dultiva-
ton with cultivator and disk harrow.
More than half the oats sown in this
part Of Illinois are covered with pull.
verizer or corn cultivator. This means
of putting in oats is much moro rapid,
and the crops as rule are better than
those from the slower way of Flowing
the land and then covering with har-
row. During the past four seasons, says
the authority quoted, our farmers have
been experimenting with the pul verizer
as a tool to prepare the seabeh for a
corn crop. They first clear the land Of
stalks, then put four horses on the pull
verizer, turn the disks to an anglo where
they will dig and throw, and dig up the
surface Of twelve or fourteen acres o
day. By going over this twice Or three
times the surface is thoroughly pulver-
lied to the depth Of three or four inches,
and in the best possible condition to put
on the planter. Those who have tried
this are enthusiastic. in praise of this
plan, and say they have no further use
for the old plow outside of doing little
fall blowing. One Of the great advan-
tages of pulverizing instead Of blowing
is found in not having to harrow, plank
or roll in order to reduce the cl6ds that
so often turn up in spring blowing.

IAe SEEDED foR wAeArI


A Sensible Talk by Farmer ON = sub
Ject Of General Interest.
It used to be the practice to plow the
ground as soon as possible after harvest,
skimming the ground, that is, blowing
as shallow as possible, so the stubble and
weeds were turned under. Later OBJ, or
just before seeding, second blowing
would be given deeper and more thor
ough than the first, and then sufficient
narrowing or dragging would be given
to fine the soil, it being considered an
item to have the soil fine and mellow and
as deep as possible. Gradually q change
was made, and only one blowing was
given early, but deeper, and then the
surface, to the depth Of three or four
inches, put in as tine filth as possible,
leaving the under soil firm, 1t being con-
sidered better to do this than to have the
soil loose and mellow as deep as plowed.
A Missouri farmer, in The Farm, Field
and Stockman, says:
In my vicinity the practice usually
followed Is to plow but once. and that
late, pasturing the field after the crop is
taken off, until ready to pillow. Ono rea-
son for this is that many farmers con-
slider it an injury to the soil TO pillow and
let lie exposed to the hot sun of summer.
Because this is the plan largely followed
Is not conclusive proof that it is the best.
One of the most profitable crops of wheat
ever raised was on land that had been
in corn. The corn was cut off close to
the ground and hauled off and shocked
up In lot. The cultivation had been
continued late and the soil was clean.
After the corn was taken off thorough
narrowing was given and the wheat
sown with the drill. This left the sur
face Of the soil in good condition,
The condition and character Of the
soil will make a difference. In dry
season the soil must be worked to sufi-
Gent depth to secure sufficient moisture
to induce good termination Of the seed,
while with the same soil in o favorable
season shallower working Of thp soil
would give better results. The deeper
and more thoroughly the soil Is worked
in the fall the more liable it Is to freeze
deep in the winter, and while It is the
freezing up and thawing out that in
many seasons Injuries the wheat the most,
it is quite an item to avoid this as much
as possible. To make rule best 10 fol-
low under all conditions is impossible,
for with large proportion Of farm work
the season and the soil must be congid-
cred, and what will be best at one time
will fail at others; hence the farmer must
rely to considerable extent upon his
Judgment as to the best preparations to
be given under the conditions he is work
ing, rather than following some one else
working under entirely different q rcum-
stances.

A New York World correspondent
says: "if shadeboards are used on bee
hives during the summer | would prefer
to paint the hive dark color. Dark
colored hives absorb more heat from the
SUMS rays than light colored ones, which
hastens early brood rearing In tho spring.
If wished one color and did not use
shadeboards, it would be marine blue,
mixed with lead and oil. prefer sew
eral colors, however, on account of less
loss of queens.
AFTER many years experience and
study of both wild and domestic bees
and of many different styles of hives in
use, prefer single walled hive, with
two thicknesses of cloth on the frames,
covered with buckwheat chat four
inches deep for outdoor wintefing. A
super will answer to hold the C haff, but
a special frame is better il the cap Is
larger than the body of the hive II the
cloths are clean or nearly SO they will
allow moisture to pass off better. One
thickness Of cloth will do, but the bees
are apt to gnaw through before spring.
This is better than the expense Of max
ing and housing old moldy cushions"
