Social Amenities.

There can be no hard and fast rule
In the matter of introductions. Since
no amount of custom can make an in
trinsically ill-bred action anything but
ill-bred, an introduction or non-intro-
duction which is likely to make any one
uncomfortable Is to be avoided in the
face of anything one may be told by
men or angels, or-more terrible still
Mrs. Grundy. Subject to this excep-
ton, 1t Is wisest not to introduce peo-
pie at casual meetings In public places,
street cars, stores, or in the street Many
people do this, and the result Is invaria-
bly, that one person remembers the in
PRODUCTION afterward and the other does
not, with innumerable contingent un-
pleasantnesses. An ever-mooted ques-
ton Is whether or not the hostess shall
introduce callers In her drawing-room.
Common sense and good-feeling would
seem to indicate that ii Is best to do so;
but she who prefers the other course has
the consolation Of knowing herself up

when in doubt, Introduce" Is a very
good rule. Observation shows that the
"thoroughbreds' have usually far less
fear of introducing acquaintance than
those who are son the social anxious

Care of Farm Machinery.

1t was formerly a common thing for
the traveller in the West to see farm
machinery Of all kinds, expensive har-
vesters and thrashers, plows and all the
ordinary implements, standing In the
field, left where they were last used,
usually without shelter from the ele-
ments 1t was common thing for the
owner of large wheat and corn fields
to buy new machinery in the spring or
ut harvest time, use it one season, leave
1t where used, and when the next sea-
son came round find it in no condition
for use without considerable repairs.
In such cases the farmer was very apt
to trade off his machines for new ones,
paying a large bonus, and often mort
gaging them for all or part of the pur
chase money. The hard times and low
prices for farm products are operating
to cure the Western farmer of this ex-
travagance and to compel him to man
age his business as closely as the man.
ufacturer does his. 1t used to be COM
mon saying on the rich prairie lands of
Illinois that farmer wasted enough
each year for a New England farmer
to live on, and there was a solid foun-
dation Of truth for the saying.-Spring-
field Republican.

Progress of Agriculture.

The average of wages has risen 60
per cent. since 1870, and at the same
time the accumulation of urban wealth
per head has been &c per cent. more
than in the period from 1850 to 1870,
which shows that the rise In wealth and
the increase of wages go almost hand
In hand. But the farmer has neverthe.
less corresponding advantage, for his
life is a healthier one, the statistics of
mortality showing that the death rate
in American cities, especially among
children, is greatly in excess Of that of
rural districts. The farmer may make
money more slowly, but he has a safer
and less agitated life, and his children
grow up around him in affiuence and
comfort. The census of 1890 showed
that the United States had 1865, 900
farmers, the aggregate value of whose
farms, cattle and implements summed
up 1882 millions OF dollars, giving to
each an average fortune of $3,505,
most of these men having begun on n
capital of q couple of hundred dollars.
The number of new farms created since
1860 has been 900, bringing into
cultivation 195, 900, 900 acres, and the
greater part OF this work has been done
by European settlers. In fact, II the
United States had no urban population
or industries whatever, the advance Of
agricultural interests would be enough
to claim the admiration of mankind, for
it has no parallel in history.-North

ed, the half-long, stump-rooted carrots
have yielded at the rate of 500 bushels
per acre. This is more than double the
quantity that could have been raised
had long-rooted varieties been planted
and not nearly as much as would have
been produced had the soil been in good
condition and well cultivated. Heavier
crops can be produced in deep, rich
soils with the long rooted varieties, but
In thin soils the shorter kinds give by
far the greater yield.

The worst result of having the team
unevcnly matched In work Is that neith-
er is able to exert its full power In pull
ing. The slow and fast each hinders
the other and neither can do its best.
This is a practical basis for the ancient
injunction In the law Of Moses that the
OK and the ass should not be yoked to-
gether. There Is also need for due
proportion between the team and its
driver. The great majority Of farm
work requires that the driver shall
walk, and slow team limits the
amount that an active, able bodied man
can accomplish. We well remember
while a boy on farm blowing with an
OK team that could not be made to turn
over an acre a day. A smart horse team
with the same plow would turn an acre
aud half or two acres. Such differ
ence as this explains why much farm
help fails to earn its wages. The team
for farm work should be active rather
than plodding. This activity is not at
all incompatible with superior strength
and endurance.-Americ Cultivator.

The Farm Roller.

The value Of a farm roller as an aid
In preparing ground for planting, or
sowing Is not sufficiently realized. The
function of the roller on most farms is
to go once over piece Of grain that
has been sowed with an accompani-
ment of grass seed, to put tho ground
into smooth condition for future now
ing. This use of roller Is all right,
but it is extracting only small part
of the value that can be got out OF 1t.
Nothing is better for making fine the
soil, and getting an admirable seed bed
than thorough rolling. followed by a
thorough narrowing. The roller breaks
up Jumps and clods and firms the soil
so it can be thoroughly pulverized by
the subsequent narrowing. A roller
should be made in two sections so that
one may roll back and the other for
ward in making turn, otherwise bad
gouging Of the surface occurs at every
turn. The Illustration shows the best
manner of constructing roller. Two
pieces Of plank are halved together
at right angles for ends, and pieces
V-shaped are fitted in ut the four cor
ners. These ends should be twenty
four or more inches in diameter, max
ing the roller twenty-eight inches in d.
ameter. The ends are covered with mar
row strips of plank, with edges sawed
somewhat beveling. This can be done
at the mill. These strips are spiked

Fabulous Values.

Lace is a fabric that can quietly be
made to represent large amounts Of
money. The Astors have been credited
with owning lace worth $4,000, 900, and
the Vanderbilts value their laces at
$5,OOO,000. The pope is said to be con
tent with only $4,000 represented in
lace, and the Princess of Wales can
boast of only the modest sum of $780,

To Wash Linen and Denim.

Linen and denim, whether embroid-

starch. They should be ironed when
damp, and then will be sufficiently stiff.
Wash them in lukewarm suds, rinse
carefully and hang them where they
will dry quickly, but not where the sun
will pour down on them. Do not use
hot water, especially when colored silks
or linens have been used, and hasten
the laundering as much as possible.

side till perfectly dry.
