A Pathetic Case.

Constable Thomas Boland met with a
case of distress on Saturday that worked
upon his sympathies to such an extent as
to cause him to resolve not attempt to
serve any more notices of eviction until
the times get a little better and the people
working in the mines can earn more than
enough to keep body and soul together.
Boland was sent to evict Polish family.
The husband and father can speak English
fiuently, and knew the Constable what
do you want, Tom ?'' he asked. Boland
said he had a warrant for eviction. "Well,
I'll be honest with you, Tom, - said the
tenant, "here l have a wife and four
children and we have almost nothing in
the house to eat, but | suppose we have
to pay the rent, or sleep outside, so here
is my check. all | have for two week $
work, and that won't near pay the rent -
Boland looked at the check and found the
amount due on 1t was five dollars. "Well
be COB, calculated the good-natured Con
stable, you don't need to get out on my
account, because I'll be d - d if III serve
the warrant" " and he turned and left the
house, tearing up the warrant and throw
ing the pieces away as he left. When the
Constable reported the circumstances to
Justice Bailey, the latter said, you did
right, Tom, and | won't issue any more OF
such warrants while the condition of the
people remains as it is"

An American Agriculturist CORE.
spondent, after several years experience
with planting melons, squashes and Gu
cumbers in drills, claims this plan great
ly superior to the old hill system, both
in the saving of labor and in larger re-
turns: In preparing the land he plows
deep, spreads on a liberal supply of ma
nure and works it we'll into the soil.
When ready for planting, he marks out
the rows six on eight feet apart, having
them as long as possible. The burrows
are opened with large pillow, which is
run twice i'll each furrow, going as deep
as possible both ways. Along this fur
row he scatters fine manure until it is
about two thirds full, after which he
turns in enough soil to make a level
surface. This last work is done with
the riding cultivator and an attachment
for covering potatoes; then plank clod
crusher is run over the ground pressing
the soil into the burrows and smoothing
the surface, after which a smoothing
harrow finishes up the work of preparing
the soil Again the marker is used, run
ming in the same place as the first, or
as nearly as possible over the centers of
the filled burrows. Into these marks the
seeds are dropped.

plan is to get the timber hewed out and
dressed nearly while green and then to

make two irons each like those repre-

of these irons lay the frame out i'll the
desired shape and then measure where
the dotted lines are shown in Fig. l.
The plates at Fig. should be about
three siXteenths of an inch thick and B
inches WIDE with inch holes drilled, as
shown. Two of these plates are used,
one on the upper side and one below,
and the frame bolted to them snugly.
The iron plates at Fig. should be 9
inches wide and quite thick. Their posi-
ton is shown in the dotted lines. They
are bolted to the sides with suitable
bolts, and the three holes on the other
end enable the harrow to be expanded
or contracted by simply removing the
top of the middle bolt and slipping the
wings back and forth.
An ordinary plow swivel may be at
tachod to the front end or a bolt run
through, with projecting ends and a
wire loop fastened. LII either case put a

RENEWING OLD PASTURES.
Bringing These Back Into Good Grasses
with Sheep and Chemicals.

Bringing These Back Into Good Grasses
With Sheep and Chemicals.
Eastern farmers have many of them
to contend ~irh strong rough hillside
pasture toe steep to pillow and overrun
with moss, weeds and bushes. Mr.. J.
s. Woodward in attending farm insti-
tutes in the hilly counties of New York
has often advised farmers attending the
meetings that the best if not the only
practicable way to bring these fields
back into good grasses was by the use
of sheep and perhaps some chemical
manures. Writing on this same subject
to The Rural New Yorker, Mr.. Wood
ward says:
The pastures ought first to be sur
rounded by sheep tight fence. This
can be made cheaply with wire and
pickets fastened to posts 20 feet apart.
Next good supply Of water should be
provided, and then two or three times
as many sheep should be put in as the
land is capable of keeping. If there be
any bushes so high that the sheep can
not reach their tops, they should be cut
down.
Troughs made Of boards of any con-
venient length, one 5, the other
inches wide, nailed together V shaped
and without ends, should be placed in
The field Oh the poorer spots. These are
to be left without ends, so that no water
will stay in them, and there should be
troughs enough to furnish ample room
for all to eat without getting so near the
Il, 70,
preferred, may have ends and then be
turned over to free them from water if
any remains after rain.
Tho sheep should now be fed every day
food enough to keep them thriving. The
food should consist largely of wheat
bran, but it may have little linseed
meal mixed with it if preferred Usual
ly, however, no other food that is so
rich in the manurial elements and so
well adapted to make the sheep healthy
and thrifty can be bought for so little
money. 1t will generally pay to SOW
upon those spots with much moss from
200 to 400 pounds of muriate of potash
per acre broadcast. 1t would be well to
try on some places different quantities
of bone flour or dissolved bone, though
the preference is for the flour if it can
be obtained fine enough. If the owner
will experiment by putting on different
places different quantities of each and
also by mixing them in different ways,
he will soon know more about his lard
than he now does. For the above pur-
pose sheep should be kept with a view
of producing mutton and putting them
in the mutton market as soon as fully
fitted.

DRAGGING A FIELD.

should be bored for them not nearer
than eight inches. Fig represents the
manner Of attaching pair of plow han
dies to the harrow, if desired. OF
course the harrow should be painted.
The same journal illustrates very
easy manner of dragging or narrowing
a field. Oftentimes the fields are small,
and the corner turning requires too
much time Again, if the season is late
and immediate planting necessary, time
may be saved by the continued dragging
possible without stopping square at each
corner To thus drag field crossways
is much easier than to drag straight.
Make long curve the first crossing to
the OLtside of the field.

went to Boston and secured employment as
a clerk, and few years later he had risen
to the position of treasurer of various man

Mr.. Atkinson is what is known as a self

called self made men, an expression in re-
gard to which | fully concur with the late
Francis Lieber, who said, You might as

The reputation Mr.. Atkinson has made
results principally from numerous pam

to current literature on economic topic,
The subjects embrace banking, competi
ton, cotton, free trade, mechanical arts
and protection Among his most impor
tant addresses WAS Banking" delivered

were responsible for the establishment of
the Boston Manufacturers Mutual Fire In
surance company, an association consisting
of a number of manufacturers, who for
their mutual protection adopted rules and
regulations for the economical and judi

also devoted some thought to household
economy and invented an improved cooking
