..nramma Ia Here Now

1t was in the Pennsylvania station
the other morning. In one of the wait
ing room seats there sat tired, worn
looking man with a little boy of per
haps in his arms. The little fellow Is
shoes were only half buttoned, his hair
was awkwardly combed, and his stock
ings were awry. At the mans side sat
two little gin lsof perhaps and Z. Their
frocks were bRttoned crooked, but the
younger had her hair combed in pitt
full attempt at curls. The man kept
CHANGING at the clock. By and by the
elder little girl spoke.
SIS mamma here yet?'' she asked.
LET us see, the man said.
The forlorn looking quartet rose and
struggled out to the platform. There
some men were inst lifting long pine
box from a wagon. The man looked at

Come" he said, "let's go back.

Conan Doyle on cycling.

Conan Doyle, who is an enthusiast on
cycling, says in Demorest's Magazine:
"When the spirits are low, when the
day appears dark, when work becomes
monotonous, when hopes seem hardly
worth having, just mount bicycle and
60 for good spin down the road, with
out thought of anything but the ride
you are taking I have myself ridden
the bicycle most during my practice as
physician and during my work in let
ters In the morning or the afternoon,
before or after work, as the mood DER
takes me, l mount the wheel and am off
for spin Of few miles up or down
the road from my country place can
only speak words Of praise for the BIZ
cycle. I"

Thousands of acres in the middle and
southern states are being seeded to
crimson clover, which in Delaware is
exerting as much excitement as alfalfa
has raised in the central west, while
experiments with crimson clover are be-
ing made in New England and also in
the central and western states A Della
ware farmer tells in The New England
Homestead that crimson clover is one of
the best crops to use in connection with
orcharding, trucking or berry growing.
Itfills the rotation exactly. For instance,
plant peas in the spring and follow with
tomatoes for the cannery as soon as the
peas are off. When you lay tomatoes by,
seed with crimson clover Thrs the
ground is occupied with some crop all
the time, and in the following May, if
soil and season have been favorable, you
will have crop of clover two or three
feet high to cut for hay or ensilage, and
good crop of stubble and roots to turn
under to enrich the soil. Corn, potatoes
or any other crop may follow. This is
only one instance. Many orchards are
seeded with the clover, either to pillow
under as fertilizer or to be cut for hay.

In experiments in New Jersey, accord
ing to the station record, it was found
that where the soil was not reasonably
good it was necessary, in order to secure
a good stand, to delay sowing until Sep
tember On poor soils excellent crops
were secured when the seed was sown
even as late as October. For good lands
the author recommends that seed be
sown between July Is and Sept 10. 1t
was found that in New Jersey spring
seeding either alone or with oats gave
disappointing results.

Once a WAGNER observed her plight
and offered her lift, but she shook her
head steadfastly. The endless afternoon
wore on. She crawled along the forest
way, stumbling every now and then
from sheer faintness and tearing her
hands and face jill the brambles of the
roadside As last the cruel sun waned,
and reeR3ilr flaists rose from the forest
pools. And still the long miles stretched
away, and still she plodded on, torpid
from oyerexertion, scarcely conscious,
taking each step only because she had
taken the preceding. From time to time
her lips mumbled. "Take heart, my
lamb; am coming. The Sabbath was
"out'' ere, broken and bleeding, and all
but swooning, the little grandmother
crawled up to her sons inn, on the Dor
der of the forest. Her heart was cold
with fatal forebodings. There was none
of the usual Saturday night litter Of
Polish peasantry about the door, The
sound Of many voices, weirdly intonat-
ing Hebrew hymn, hoated out into the

door and mysteriously raised his fore
finger to bid her enter without noise.
The little grandmother saw into the
room behind. Her daughter-in law and
her grandchildren were seated on the
floor-the seat of mourners.
Blessed be the true Judge, she said,
and rent the skirt of her dress. "When
did he die?'
Yesterday. Wehad to bury him has
tily ere the Sabbath came in.
The little grandmother lifted up her
quavering voice and joined the hymn

Godi Upon harp of ten strings will
sing praises unto thee. "
The nurses could not understand what
sudden inflow of strength and impulse
raised the mummifed figure into sit

thrust shriveled claw into her peaked

The Soil For Lettuce

The soil on which lettuce is grown
near Boston produces plants SO much
larger and more perfect than are grown
in many other parts of the country that
Investigations were undertaken to ascer-
tain if possible the reason of this differ
ence. The conclusions arrived at and re-
ported by Professor Galloway are that
the physical properties of the soil are of
the utmost Importance in relation to
plant growth, and that lettuce requires
soil possessing an abundance of fine
gravel, sand and silt in such mechan-
ical mixture as to provide sufficient
moisture, heat and air-a condition ex-
isting in the Boston soil.

The Cat Was Disguised.

An interesting experiment in the
rearing of animals is recorded by a
German journal. A country gentleman,
having captured young hare few
days old, conceived the idea of giving
it as foster mother cat which had Just
had litter of kittens The cat showed
no objection to this curious addition to
her family, and the herbivorous nurs-
ling seemed to take very we'll to the
regime to which it was SO unexpectedly
subjected. The hare throve and grew,
and the cat soon thought it time to be-
gin the education of her foster child.
For the catching of mice, however, the
hare showed not the slightest DISPOSE
ton, and at each fault committed the
adaptive mother administered vigorous
correction with her paws. This produc-
ed but little improvement, and the re-
lations between the two animals were
becoming somewhat strained when one
day they were placed together on the
lawn in front of the house. The hare at
once proceeded to nibble at the yegeta-
tion with remarkable avidity, to the evil
dent establishment and indignation of
the cat, who could make nothing of
such conduct. Finally, perceiving that
she had nourished anything but kit
ten, the disappointed nurse withdrew
with an expression of unmistakable dis
dain. -Westminster Gazette
The Duke of York's Baby.
There is a report that the Duke Of
York's baby is deaf and dumb, but ev-
erybody will hope that it is not true,
and that the royal sucking will talk and
hear as well as anybody when the time
comes. If not, the disability will not be
without its alleviations. Only few Of
his line have said anything good or
heard anything good of themselves in
six generations One of his succession
earned this epitaph, which he may de-
serve whether he talks or not,

Sooner than the other.

All the better for the nation.
But as it's only Fred.

When Co Cut Corn Fodder
A Country Gentleman correspondent
writes:
The best time to cut the corn is when
the ears are glazed and the husks turn
ing white. Cut at this time not only is
the fodder at its best, but there will be
no shrinkage of corn and the ears will
be we'll filed out with plump, heavy
grain. Quite late in the season, when
the weather is cool and there is danger
of frost, late corn may be cut up green
and will cure out without danger OF
shrinkage or of the fodder souring
As rule, l prefer large shocks, 100
to IA hills to the shock, as less Of the
fodder will be exposed to the weather
and q large shock cures out almost as
soon as small one. When the field is
to be put in wheat, prefer to carry 90
rows ON each side of the shock row and
make the shocks by 40 hills, which
makes them as close as they can stand
in the row. 1t will cost cent to a
more per shock, but is great conven-
fence in sowing the wheat, and enables
you to get the corn and fodder off with
very little trampling of the wheat.

Seed Wheat.

We know now for certainty that a
great deal Of the wheat rust is brought
on our farms through the seed, and the
spores of the rust are held over from
year to year in the seed. Seed that is
taken from the field where the rust has
been prevalent should always be subject
to the hot water test The seed we pur-
chase from seedsmen should also be
treated in this way, for we know not
how many rust spores may be in the
seed to begin growing when the favor
able conditions are given. The hot wa
ter test is the only sure way of killing
rust. If done properly, there is no dan
ger of injuring the vitality of the seeds,
while all the spores of disease will be
thoroughly destroyed, writes an Ameri-
can Cultivator correspondent.

AS soon as the hop harvest is over,
growers ought to set their yards in order
by gathering the loose vines and burn

If burned in the yards, there is danger
of injuring the roots by the heat The
poles should also be stored for next
years use.
The hop roots require care and protec.

by compost from the barnyard or sta

THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
His Lot rs Compared With Farmers L
the Northwest.

his Lot Is ConpaEeu " AeA -
the Northwest.
Among the farmers of the United
States the New England farmer is pc
culiarly fortunate in his surroundings,
according to the comparisons made by
writer in the New England Homestead,
who appears to have had experience on
farms both east and west. He says the
New England farmers markets for
small amounts of produce are only three
to ten miles away in the factory vii
lagos, Oh if he has larger amount that
cannot readily be marketed in factory
villages, he can place his produce in
either of several cities by paying for 100
miles of cheap transportation His west
ern brother must pay for at least 1000
miles Of transportation, which often
costs more than one-half the price of his
crop after the market is reached.
The New England farmer takes some
thing to market nearly every week in
the year, and if the produce is in salable
condition he can always expect some re-
turn, while his western brother has to
wait six months at time before he can
hope to realize on his main crop, and if
he tries to trade some small produce like
butter and eggs for the necessaries to
support his family in the meantime, he
is apt to be told by the general supply
merchant that the market is overstock-
ed already" There is then no choice for
him but to go in debt for his supplies
until after the next harvest These must
be paid for out of his main crop when
it comes to market At that time the
supply merchant will begin to press for
payment, and that will force him to sell
at price leaving him at the mercy of
the supply merchant for another year.
Meanwhile the New England farmer
| has paid his way all summer, and if in
the fall he has any crop to sell, what
ever that brings him may be reckoned
as the profits of the season.
When the western farmer is about to
begin going in debt for winter fuel and
other supplies, the New England farm
or betakes himself to his wood lot,
where he can cut a year supply of fuel
at his leisure. If repairs are needed on
buildings or fences, he can provide the
material at little above cost of his own
labor, or if he needs finer lumber than
his own wood lot and the nearest saw
mill can supply he can take load Of
chestnut posts to the nearest lumber
yard and exchange for what he needs.
All this time, with his cellar well
stocked with sailed meats, fruits and
vegetables, and his poultry yards full
of fowls, he suffers no anxiety on &C
count of a bill at the supply merchants.
While the western farmer and his fam
lily are shivering over COW manure fire
in sod shanty Of two rooms, and the
cattle are eating wheat straw and los
ing ears and tail in the blizzard, the
New England farmer can read his paper
by wood fire in his ten room frame
house, in the happy consciousness that
his cattle are eating good hay in a warm
stable.
