Ihsen,s Morbid Stories.

Ibsen's way is to represent life as very
bad, petty and squalid middle, and men
and women generally as little, vulgar,
selfish and quite insaneiy inconsistent.
There may be tremendous exceptions, souls
of fame, reformers, but they are bound to
come to grief-eyery body is bound to come
to grief This is Ibsen's theory, and he
rubs it in. His respectable characters are
trivial fools. His young woman leaps, in
q second, from a chattering little feather
brain to heights of revolt and indignation.
All the slang of emancipation gushes at a
flash from Nora S untutored lips. Hedda
Gabler is mink without a conscience OK
an aim, and she rules and spoils the lives
of subtly Disseminated set of fools, frlb-
bIes and Philistines We know not why
nor wherefore all this tangle and wrangle
twists itself about the uniDtelligible mink,
but this sort of thing appears to represent
Ibsen's theory of life. We live out ali ths
length of all our days and never once lind
ourselves on the fringes of such set, OF
such crew. So it goes on in that high
ly rancid drama, "Ghosts, and all the rest
of it. Now, it is needless to say to any
one that Shakespeare saw life steadily, and
saw it whole Hamlet is only one mood
and JACQUES another of the mind which
created Falstaf and Launce and Bottom.
There is sadness, confusion, in life; there
is Joy, too, and one Rosalind laughs away,
in one speech, all the incredible inanitles
of Nora and all the unqualifiable incoher-
encies of Hedda. But this is not a subject
for seriousness. Review.

The GirIssh Young Man.

The affected, girlish young man, who
goes shopping with feminine enthusiasm,
who knows as much about a lady's cos
tune as his own, who is an authority on
bonnets and gowns, and who chatters and
laughs about airy nothings like 'coy
debutante, J" is a singular human phenom-
enon, whose evolution and growth may
well be a source of perplexity to sound
and nagmally constituted people. The
sensation which he excites in the healthy
mind is that Of com bined amusement and
disgust, but it really is not right either to
laugh at or condemn him, for he cannot
help his eccentricities. He is social
"freak,'' one of those mysterious dispen-
stations of an all wise Providence which
we find it difficult to understand, but to
which we must bow with such resignation
as we can. We should not ridicule him
any more than we would other representa-
tives of the feeble minded and afflicted
classes. Everything has a use in nature,
it is said, and perhaps we may in time
discover the object of his creation. He
does well enough to amuse passing hour,
but the girly man is soon cast aside and
has to flock all by himself when a real
man comes along. A woman likes real
man, and she has no use for the imitation
article when the genuine can be had

Agricultural Notes.


Set out as early as practicable the cab
bage wintered in the cold frame. A lit
tie special fertilizer will start the plants
into vigorous growth.
There is a bill before the New York
legislature to appropriate $40, 900 to es-
tablish an agricultural experiment sta
ton on Long Island.
There are now 81 agricultural expert
ment stations, occupying 500 persons in
them, receiving more than 100000
yearly from the government.
1t is estimated that the amount of new
land brought into cultivation in this
country will hereafter be about balanced
by the amount abandoned or otherwise
diverted from agriculture.
The carelessness of farmers in baling
hay for export shipment causes great an
noyance to shippers. Almost every day
bales are rejected by steamship compa-
MES, and hay rejected at New York is
worse than total loss.
The wheat crop of England last year
was an exceedingly poor one. The aver
age yield is estimated at 22I bushels per
acre-a very low average for England
Farmers should not be deceived into
paying fancy prices for potatoes "guar-
anteed to be blight proof"

Shipping Live Poultry.

Here are few general rules in regard
to shipping live poultry from Lloyd's
Poultry Book that are applicable to all
markets:
Shippers should see that the coops are
in good condition before using, SO that
they are NOT liable to come apart in tran
sit, as they are roughly handled some.
times.
The coops should also be high enough
to allow whatever kind of poultry is
shipped room to stand up. Low coops
should not be used, as it is not only
cruel, but great deal of poultry Is lost
every year by suffocation. Coops should
not be overcrowded.
In shipping hens and roosters they
should be kept separate. Nothing depre-
ciates the value of fine coop Of hens as
much as to have a number of old cocks
among them. Shippers often wonde,
why they do not get the highest market
price for their stock. In most cases this
is the reason. Good stock always COM
mands quick sale at best prices.
Poultry should be shipped SO as p ar
rive on the market from Tuesday to Fri
day. Receipts generally increase toward
the end of the week, and there is enough
carried over stock on hand Saturday to
supply the demand. Merchants, rather
than carry stock over Sunday, will sell
at a sacrifice, as the stock when in coops
loses considerable in weight by shrink
age and does not appear fresh and bright
Besides, Monday is usually poor day to
sell poultry.

A WORD FOR PASTURES.
Should Pastures Be Rotated by Other
Crops or Remain Permanent

Should Pastures BE Rotated by Other
Crops or Remain Permanent?
To answer the query, Should pastures
be rotated, or should they remain per-
manent? by plain yes or no would be
like deciding case before the evidence
was submitted. A New Yorker con-
siders the question as follows in a letter
to American Cultivator:
Don't pillow up a pasture unless you
are going to benefit it by the procedure,
and, on the other hand, don't see pas
ture get sterile and thin of grass roots
without taking measures to rejuvenate
it in some way. say ''in some way"
because it is impracticable to thorough
" pillow and cultivate some of the hill
dairy pasture land in New York state
or in New England. In fact, there is
much of it that has never been plowed,
although it has been in pasture for up
ward of rs years. Such pastures are
about as permanent as can be found,
having become SO more from necessity
than from line of policy.
Now, no pasture is profitable, be it
permanent or transient, that takes three
or four acres to support cow. The old
hilly grazing lots that cannot be recul-
tivated by blowing and rotating with
crops can and should be hetcheled over
with sharp toothed drag this spring.
If needed, grass seed can be sown at the
same time, which will catch in the ex-
posed dirt of the torn sod. Top dressing
will ha of N
if com bined with the narrowing. Of
course do not use spring tooth harrow
that will turn the sods over, but a drag
with straight, sharp teeth that will cut
right through them. Don't be afraid
of injuring your pasture by this means.
Not bit of it, for it will vastly i'm
prove the growth of grass. In some
parts of the winter wheat growing belt
farmers drag their wheatfelds every
spring, with result that it increases
the yield of grain.
The beneficial principle of narrowing
pastures lies in the fact that grass roots
and plants respond as quickly to the
stimulus of cultivation as do other vege-
table growths. In blowing up pastures
for the land to go through rotation of
crops before another reseeding do SO for
some definite and wise reason and not
on vague principles.
Where the pasture field is infested
with foul growths, as Canada thistles,
bushes, etc., system of cultivation to
eradicate them is indicated. Then, again,
where innutritious grasses have crowd
ed out the better varieties, summer fall
lowing should be practiced, followed by
cultivation and reseeding.

The elevator is the great equalizer OF

excessively rapid ''express service" makes

Difference In Effect.

"What difference in effect do you find
between the fertilizer and manure?'
Certain plants, like radishes, grow
straight and better with fertilizers. The
fertilizers are warmer than manure
that is, in wet Or backward springs. The
manure keeps the ground cold, so the
seeds will not start so well. Fertilizers
also hasten maturity, pushing along all
crops by several days ahead of those on
stable manure. We always broadcast
all our fertilizer and harrow it in. Only
one application is made in the spring, y
