The Result.

Like all primitive people, the
MaoricS are very inQuisitive, and, in
tie manner Of children, are inclined
to bring everything to their mouths
to test its qualities. in the early
days q party of Maorles came across
some bars Of soap, which had been
washed ashore from a wreck. Find
ing that the stuff was too sticky to be
eaten raw, they resolved to cook it.
Accordingly they cut it up into small
pieces and SprinIlcd these pieces over
the sweet potatoes and fish which
formed their evening meal. Finally
they covered the whole mass over with
fen leaves and mats, and, putting
earth on the top, left everything to
lake quietly In the ovens till the
evening. The scene at that evening
meal must have been very funny.
Not only did the tribe have to 90 sup
PEERLESS to bed. but the whole set Of
ovens was spoiled, and new ones had
to be constructed before any further
cooking could be done.

OCCASIONAL sUBsoILING.

Probably no work on the farm pays so
well as that done with the subsoil piow
on land that has been well underdrained.
The advantage of subsoiling is that one
operation lasts a number of years, and
il the drainage is perfect, the land never
loses tic p0rosity which the subsoil
ploW gives it. If new land were drained
as soon as the forest were cleared from
it, subs0iIing would not be needed. The
decay Of roots Of trees in the subsoil
makes natural drainage way through
which superfuous OF stagnant water can
pass. But in ninety nine cases out of
100 drainage is not resorted to until the
comracting of soil and its inability to
carry off water makes drainage neces-
sary. Then after the underdrain is
down it takes. years of freezing and
thawing and clover growing to establish
the old water courses again, or rather to
make new ones. The subsoil pillow helps
this work amazingly. 1t should follow
the drain, and it will do good to repeat
the subsoiing every few years, thus
enabling the soil to hold more water
without being saturated, because the
surplus must always pass off wherever
an outlet is provided for it.-American
Cultiyator.

WHEN GOLD LEAVES FALL,


Sweet the season now. when skies
Family blue bend over all,
And the cricket ceaselessly
To his wandering mate doth call:
When soft thistle-down floats by
Borne on lazy breaths of air,
And the milk weeds ripened pol
Bursts in silvery beauty rare
Then, o heart of mine. be glad,
All forgotten be thy Woe;
Earth is all thine own to-day,
Drink thou Of life's overaowl
Drink and laugh and sing thy song~,
Sweetest. gayest songs that drown
In their music sorrows tears
Now. when gold leaves futter down.
These are happiest lays Of all,
Days of sweet, slow-moving hours.
While the gold and crimson leaves
Take the place Of summer flowers;
When the sturdy frost flower b,Ha
Sways besides the golden-roi
And late daisies here AM there
To the queen Of autumn nod:
When the ripe fruits luscious scent
Fills he orchards shady ai,les,
And red apples meath the trees
Lie in glowing, tempting piles;
When the bluejay's saucy cry
Joins the catbird'S plaintive call.
And above the hazy sun
Throws his Warm smile, over all
Then, o heart OF mine, rejoice!
Life for thee can wear no frowa,
All is beautiful AMI blest
Now, when gold leaves fiutter down.

FARM ACCOUNTS.

Tie simplest form of accounts is the
bit for farmer. A complete set of
books as may be necessary in store is
not required. As the farm business is
mostly made up selling and buying, the
whole of the bookkeeping may be done
with two books, a cash book and a
ledger. Or Il ledger only may be used,
having ore account for the cash. The
double entry system is the best and the
simplest. This consists of making
double entry of each transaction, as thus :
4 load of hay is sold; if for cash, the
cash account is charged with the money
received, and farm account, Or the par
ticu!ar field account, is credited. If
something is bought and paid for, cash
is credited with the amount and farm is
charged. If the cash is not received or
paid in either case, the parties are
charged Or credited, as the case may be.
This is all that is necessary. Afterward,
wien facility las been gained, separate
accounts may be kept for each depart
mcnt, as the live stock, dairy, or each
field of the farm.-New York Times.

a cat captured one Of flock Of mar
Gins which had their nest in a little

piteous cries Of the bird, its mates
came to its rescue, alighted upon

and screamed SO furiously that she
was soon glad to drop her prey and
escape indoors. Then the purple

ping two seeds near each other, then
leaving a space of four or five feet, and
covering the seeds with earth enough
to keep them moist, say not
far from one-half an inch in
depth. On rocky land, or where the soil

able season enough seed will terminate
to cover the land, but if the season be
unfavorable portion of the land will
have to be reseeded the following year.
Where the land is shaded by trees germ
ination will be more certain; but in such
places, when the seeding pines are two
years old they should be let out into the
sunshine by removing the trees that shade
them.
In localities where Seeding pines that
grew naturally are numerous it is not
expensive to cover land with pines by
transplantlng the young trees; to 90 this
to the best advantage trees should be
selected that are not over six inches in
height, and in removing them a small
ball of earth should be removed with
each tree, care being taken not to expose
the roots to the light or the air, and it is
always best to 50 the work on cloudy
days. The trees should be set five or six
feet apart, and as they grow a sufficient
number should be cut out to prevent
crowding. When large enough for box
boards or coarse lumber not more than
four or five trees should be left on each
rod of land. Boston Transcript.

that inbrceding Of swine has done
more than its share to spread the hog
cholera, debility rendering the ami

attacks Of the disease, as well as
causing them to be more susceptible

At School In Switzerland.

The system of education in prac-
tice among the Swiss IS enlighte
and far reaching. Not only are
pupils under strict and kindly dis
ciplinc while at school, but they are
also made to feel that the warning
and protecting care Of their tutors Is
over them whenever they are outside
the fathers house. AS soon @S the
child IS in the street he has passed
from the circle Of his home, and that
moment begins the schools authority.
Regulations, printed on slips and
let at every house, contain, among
score Of others equally sensible, the
70 lowing rule, relating to outdoor
manners:
Delay of any kind between the
scholars home and school is not al
lowed. No whooping, yelling, throw
ing stones and snowballs, teasing
children, or ridiculing age and de-
formity can be endured Grown per-
sons shall be met witt civility as they
pass. Thus shall honor be reflected
on the schools.
Once in the classroom, the pupil is
taught department, as well as ms
three RS" he is told how to walk,
stand, and speak, and a blot on his
book and a smudge on his face are
regarded as equally bad.
"A book befOuled is wasted" said a
teacher to the author Of "The Swiss
Republic" "and our economical
habits viii. not suffer such loss. Turn
over any of our books in daily use,
aud you will find none torn or de-
faced by scribbling."
The same rule applies to the school
building and furniture. The desks
look as if they received daily washing
ld polishing; not spot Of ink IS to
be seen on their surfaces, nor the
slightest evidence Of the mischleVous
boys ife. 1.-THE corridors and stair
WAYS show neither spot nor scratch;
and the walls are free from finger
marks, and no bits of paper litter the
floor. The children, representing all
grad of society," from patrician to
peasant. are neatly and comfortably
clad. Nome are dirty, rugged, or
shoaless.
"If child comes to school with
his face begrimed, or his clothes
torn" says teacher, "he is washed
and mendcd and then sent home.
The mother is ashamed on finding
that some other person has had to
wash her child, and the child SO
mortified that it never becomes nee

THE QUESTION AS TO STRAW.

1t Is vexed question what to do with
straw. One says it must be worked into
manure-as much of it through the ami
nal as possible, when part of it will
be made over into animal produce, and
the rest, going into the manure pile as
dung, will be so finely ground up that it
will rot readily; the rest to be used as
litter. Thus ali Of it is utilized at home.
Another would burn it, presumably on
the wheat land, with the stubb!e, and
says it is worth - ton to the land SO
treated. Another would spread it aud
p!ow it under; and still another would
sell it, the price obtained beingf from 81
to SIS, according to the state of the
market and the condition of the straw,
whether much broken or not. The fact
is, no single rule will answer for all
cases; each oBe must decide his own case
for himself, on business principles. II
no animal product of any kind can be
sold with profit, commercial manures can
be used to advantage to replace plant
food sold in the straw; and if there is a
good market for it, sell it. If all these
conditions are just reversed, use it up in
the barn. II it can be neither sold Or
fed, the pile of it is large, and the guam
tity Of manure made is small, then burn
it with the stubble. Last of all, pillow
it in; last resort, because of the diff
Guilty in getting it well covered, and of
the slowness with which it decays when
SO treated; not till decayed has it any
use as plant-food. The manurial value
of my straw is estimated at 81 per ton :;
if burned, half of this may be lost in the
nitrogen, all of which passes off into the
air. If fed to the stock, it cannot but
realize more than its mere manurial value,
for animal produce is worth more than
manure. If threshed by hand, and the
straw is left in good condition, little
broken, it has been sold for SIS ton.
There is wide margin here for WISE
judgment as to what to do with the
straw.-New York Tribune.
RULES FOR PLANTING THE WHITE PINE.
Edmund Hersey, Superintendent of
the Eussey Farm, advocates the planting
of the white piue. AS timber tree he
Gains it possesses more good qualities
than any other native tree of Massachu-
sets. 1t is easy to grow from the seed
or transplant when young. 1t will -four
ish on light sandy soil or on peat
meadow, and on ordinary soil the growth
is so rapid that the tree will be large
enough for lumber purposes in thirty five
years.
Wien The seed is to be planted by
man the cones should be gathered just
before the first frost in the autumn and
placed small end up in the grass away
from I'LL enemies. After the first heavy
frost, gather up the cones and shell out
the seed by turliag them small end
downward over vessel and giving them

it ahould be planted.
