DOG AND CAT IN CHURCH,
Ten Mlnutes of Devotion which
soreiy Tried n Good Mans Nerve.

Ten of Devotion which
sOrcly Tried n Good Mans Nerve.
The ~worshipers at the Gu Irch of the
Ascension in Auburn had a novel exper-
lenee Sunday morning, says the Provi.
dence Journal. The professional hymn
a been sung, the white-roDed young
clergyman had finished his exhortation
to the dearly beloved brethren" the
responses were over and prayers CON-
menced when a tardy Da.ishloner ar
rived. AS he walked down the aisle
he did not notice that he was followed
by a companion. When the parishioner
stopped and bowed his head in PRAYER
his companion continued it's demure
tread onward toward the chancel. Once
or twice 1t stopped AS the organ sound
ed the "amens." but when progress was
resumed the course was Suu onward,
BY 4 nlmble leap the wanderer landed
on the platform leading to the chancel
and there revealed itself as a tiger
striped kitten about six months old.
The kittens and the clergymqn's eyes
met. The Mortified clergyman with
great effort continued to read on, while
the unCOnCerned kitten, with tail erect
and ears priCked, gazed on him with
interest, Giving him a wink she passed
on to the chanCel, entered the sanctu-
airy, and with q bound reached the al
tar. Not content with this she leaped
to the bishops chair and then set about
adjusting herself to the surroundings
10y washing her face. The sound Of
the Clergyman's voice, however, seemed
irresistible TO her, and, jumping over
the brass chanCel rail, she leaped TO the
seat in front Of the reading desk at
which he was kneeling. With the close
Of the collect, Tighten Our Darkness"
the choir, the congregation still kneel-
ing, sang an anthem. This interval
gave the dominic his coveted opportu-
nifty to make a lunge for the cat. PuSs
was happily pprring very loud, but,
seeing the attempt on her liberty, a
nimble jump saved her from the clergy
mans grasp.
With the close Of the hthem came
the resumption Of prayers and also the
renewed ORGANIZATIONS Of pussy. She
remounted the seat behind the clergy
man. and, to his horror, he felt her
gently testing the stability Of his robe,
apparently feeling her ground for a
leap. The only place to leap was the
clergyman's back. The kitten eyed his
victim critically and was about to leap
when she was startled by the terrific
yelp Of a dog which had some how
got into the choir stall. The kitten
now turned her attention toward the
organ, and, peeping around, saw her
enemy. Her enemy saw her at the
same time. Each gazed intently in an
apparent effort to hypnotic the other,
but the experiment was cut shor by
the dog. who, with a leap and yelp,
made for the cat, and, but for the
vigorous scrambling of the bassos, the
two would have had an argument In
full view Of the clergyman n congre-
CATION. The dog was held and the cat

When to Use Phosphates.

FAN Is the best time to use phos-
pilates, for this mineral requires a great
deal of moisture to make 1t produce its
best effect. If a drouth occurs just aft.
er the phosphate Is applied 1t often
does no good at all that season, and by
next year it will be so locked up IN
compounds with lime that the crop
can get but little Of 1t. In a drouth
this change Of phosphate TO iDsoluble
conditions occurs very quickly. A soil
full of humus o vegetable matter gen.
crates carbonic acid gas. and this helps
to make the ms )luble phosphate avail
able again. This Is the reason why
phosphate is so helpful on ndcky soils,
and does little good on dry sand 81
gravel, where there is not only too lit,
tie water, but also a deficiency of vcge
table matter.

Indications from Fowls, Combs.

The experienced ~poulterer always
watches the combs of his fowls. They
tell much Of the vigor and productive
capacity Of each bird. Fowls which
have large, bright combs, If hens, are
sure to be good layers. If cocks. they
have vigorous sexual power, and will
produce strong. vigorous chicks. When
hens or cocks decline In vigor their
eggs should not be set. The chicks
from such eggs will be weakly, and
the hens will be apt to be poor layers.

In all animals must be the result Of
getting their progeny when they are

Time to Plow Sod.

In answer to an inquiry in Farm,
Field, and Fireside, as to how to pre-
pare sod for a crop, Mr.. L. G. Greene
says:
Glover sod I would plow first half
Of May and plant to corn immediate
~.
Timothy sod l would plow two inches
deep the first part of August; cross
plow six inches deep first half OF May
and plant to corn.
bluegrass sod would plow three
inches deep the first Of November;
cross pillow six inches deep the middle
Of May, plant to corn.
Virgin prairie would plow three
inches deep the middle Of June; sow
TO buckwheat. If for wheat would
cross plow same depth the first part
Of August. If for corn would leave
cross piowing till May, then go five
inches deep.
Use plow that will lay a furrow fat
as a board. This helps the sod to rot,
and the second blowing, 1t puts the
sod down in the bottom Of the furrow
out Of the way Of the cultiVator and
tust where it Is needed. for corn.
This is for latitude forty-one and
three-fourths. Longitude fourteen
and one-half. Elevation 800 feet.
If Mr.. Gray is farther South the
spring blowing should be done a little
earlier.
Climatic conditions shortly after
Moving makes the difference about
sod rotting. The moon has no indu-
ence.

Sowing winter Grain o Early.


An early seeding is important for
spring grain, that it may get well root
cd and as near maturity as possible
before hot weather comes. All the
small grains require as much 20
weather as possible for their best de-
velopment. This makes 1t necessary
IN sow the winter grains somewhat
late. after air, and soil which nave
been heated by the summer sun AVE
had time to cool. Neither wheat nor
rye makes q healthy growth II sown
much before the first frost. II sown
roo carly wheat will be attacked by the
Hessian fly, and rye may make so
forward a growth as to joint, In which
case the crop is entirely ruined.
These grains have to go through the
winter months with the ground frozen
so Ms TO shut off supplies of moisture
from the roots, while the leaf is COM
stantly e%vaporating 1t. The result Is
that too large a growth in the fall be-
comes Drowned OF dead before spring.
It is well to have a fair growth In the
TO insure a good root hold In the soil.
IF this growth Is made late In cool,
wet weather, the roots will be spread
ont horizontally near the surface.
while the top growth also spreads out
In the same way and covers the roots.
when grain Is sown while the soil Is
dry and warm, the root strikes down
and the leaf growth spires upward In
stead Of spreading.
