AGRICULTURE.

Thoroughly ripened hay is neither nu-
tritious nor digestible to full degree.
1t should be cut before the wheat har-
vest, if it is to bring the highest price,
for even city folks are finding out that
cured grass is better than ripe timothy.
Why mix clover with it if pure timothy
brings the bt tier price?
IL you raise hay to sell from the farm,
remember that timothy will take less
from the farm than clover. Many peo-
pie who buy are learning. however; that
early cut, nicely cured clover is better
than timothy for nearly all purposes.
Clear timothy will bring the most
money. an acre, as rule.
Our plans for next season should all
be made out now, while we have time to
think them out. without them, in the
hurry of spring work. we will be obliged
to start out in the old, old ruts. There
are many men who are not even farming

should be year of progress.

Rolling Immediately after sowing the
oats gives better results than using the
roller just before sowing. Moreover, it
presses down to or into the surface the
corn roots and stalks which would be
gathered up by the self binder, for it is
desirable to cut oats low. Compaction
betters the condition of termination and
growth, too, and better crops result.
To unproductive ground the legumi
nous crops bring nitrogen absorbed from
the air, and manures supply simple ee-
ments, which make a balance in the

unproductive is not necessarily exhaust
ed; the elements of fertility may lie there
in an unavailable form.

because, as usual thing, he has neither
the care of great riches nor feels the
stings of poverty. His business is a
safe one, for the world must eat, and
pays cash for his products. Luxuries
cease to be such when one has them all
the time, and the farmer enjoys them
the more that he can now and then pro-
duce and afford them.

Breathing Carbonic Acid.

1t is well known that very much
larger proportion of carbonic acid than
ually exists in the atmosphere can be
inhaled With impunity, but only recently
have we been aware of the large quantity
that can be breathed without actual
danger. Ordinary fresh air contains but
four parts in 10000, yet the carbonic
acid has to reach per cent, or 100 times
the usual quantity. before any difference
is noticed in the respiration. AS the
percentage rises the person breathing it
begins to pant, but with air containing
as much as 10 per cent only headache
is produced. although the painting is
violent. The actual danger point is not
reached until the carbonic acid rises to
l8 per cent.
Foul air in room where a number of
persons are present is not dangerous on
account of the carbonic acid il contains,
but owing to a poisonous organic sub
stance given off with the breath. Car
bonic acid is not direct poison, but
when the danger point is reached the
air can take none from the blood in the
lungs, SO that the fires of the human
engine are extinguished by their own
smoke, as it were. 1t is really wonder
what the human engine will endure, for
a candle goes out when the oxygen in
the air sinks TO 1875. instead of the usual
81 per cent and the csrbonic acid rises

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.

did you ever hear of tobacco blind
ness?" said doctor. aft is something
we meet with quite frequently, yet not
80 much as one would suppose when the
great consumption Of tobacco is con-
sidered. Yet there are many who are
on the threshold Of tobacco blindness
who have, or may not have, an expe-
rience with the disease For, in tobacco
poisoning, like that produced by other
drugs, the system can resist the infiu-
ence of the invader up to a certain
point, when the smallest further dose of
the poison will produce the same symp-
toms as the taking of larger dose
would. Thus, in the case of many peo-
pie, the mere smoking of a pipe or two
more day would produce in them all
the advanced symptoms of tobacco pois.
oning. So it is that doctors make it
imperative in such cases that the smok-
ing habit must be dropped entirely. To
smoke moderately will not do. You can
not afford to take the chances of giving
the system that little bit more of nico-
tine which would cause the case to be
serious.
Tobacco blindness can, fortunately,
be cured. With the smoking habit alb
olished, plenty of outdoor exercise, a
good nerve tonic, which would assist in
the publication of the blood as we'll as
toning up the general system, and alb
stention from alcoholic beverages, there
is no reason why tobacco blindness can
not be cured. Alcohol, drank in any of
it's forms, is liable to produce tobacco
blindness in fairly heavy smoker.
"But the strangest part of it all is that
person does not have to smoke tobacco
to become afflicted with tobacco blind
ness. In fact, one of the most obstinate
cases ever had was that of waiter in
cafe. He was a on-smoker and total
abstainer, yet he came to me with tobac.
co blindness fully developed. caused by
being compelled to work all day in the
atmosphere of tobacco smoke, breathing
the poisoned air polluted by thirty or
forty smokers. 1t is wonder why more
OF the disease does not develop when
this is considered. But, fortunately.
nature is more kind to us than we are to
ourselves, SO she gives us strength to
throw off many evils to which we are
carelessly exposed"

OUR OWN VALENTINES.

1t is now the custom to make and
send other things on Valentines Day,
besides those of lace paper cupids,
hearts and darts.
Here are two or three little bits of
things that the children can make for
papa, mamma, or some one else:

way from five cents each, up to twenty.
five and fifty cents, the size and quality
depending upon the price. Cut out some
heart shaped pieces. about three inches
in the widest part. Take a skein of
Asiatic twisted embroidery silk. and cut
it into convenient lengths for sewing.
Perhaps you can get some one to show
you how to make buttonhole stitch, and
you can with your own little fingers but
tonhole one piece of the heart-shaped
chamois skin. Brown silk or green
would look pretty upon the chamois. or
blue. or pink.
Cut three or four pieces of fine flannel,
the same shape and little smaller than
the channels skin hearts. Now if you can
write or paint, take little of the gold or
bronze paint that comes put up at ten
cents package. Take toothpick or
sharpen a stick. and with this dipped
into the paint, write upon the chamois
these words:
You may wipe your pen. my Valentine.
Upon this tender heart of mine.
Or,
If you will be my Valentine,
Accept this little heart Of mine.
Or,
This heart is not so channels (shammy) as you
think.
Upon it you may wipe your pen from ink.
Tie the hearts together with baby rib

There are great many other things
that can be made from chamois skin
hearts. A shaving case is very pretty,
and simply made. Buttonhole stitch the
edges with Asiatic twisted embroidery

other pretty silk. Cut leaves from tissue

known person, and that princes of the
blood did not feel above assuming the
character when occasion demanded.
Colgrin, a son of the king or leader of
the Saxons, was shut up in York, be-
sieged by Arthur and his Britons. His
brother, Baldulph. wanted bitterly to
gain speech with him, and tell him of
achievements which were on their way
from Germany. There was but one way
of accomplishing this with safety, and
that way he took.
Having shaved his hair and beard, he
dressed himself as a minstrel. took his
harp and walked along the trenches
playing and singing Little by little he
neared the city walls, and having made
himself known to the sentinels, was that
night drawn up by rope.
The old story of King Alfred as a
harper has many times been told, yet it
expresses so we'll the romantic spirit of
the age that listeners will not soon tire
of it. Anxious to learn the actual posi-
ton of the Danish army, which had in
vaded his realm, he disguised himself as
a harper. and, with a trusty friend,
made up" to represent his servant, en-
tered the Danish camp. He was even
admitted TO the table of the king to en-
terrain that invader at supper. There
he listened to the conversation and
learned enough of the enemy's designs
to plan afterward the assault which
brought his victory.

BEING AND DOING.

The distinction between being and
doing should be especially remembered
in the training of children. We are so
ready to be satisfied with mere good
conduct, possibly because bad conduct
gives US annoyance personally, that
we overlook the true point. We pun
ish and reward children for what they
do; the child's definition of badness
is doing what mamma doesn't allow"
and having a more logical mind than his
mother, the little one soon sees that if
the sin is entirely in the doing, all will
be we'll if he is not found out. and he is
encouraged to practice deceit.
We need to go more deeply into the
question of morals; we need to under.
stand the principle that teaches that the
man who hateth his brother, is a MUIR
derer; we need to learn that it is as
wrong to think lie as to tell it, and
that the hands are nothing it is lead
the heart that is all.
When your little one refrains from
helping himself to the pantry jam-pot
because mamma will whip him if he
touches, he has, in addition to being a
thief, become coward, and you have
succeeded in implanting within him the
most contemplate of all traits. But if
you teach him the difference between
mine and thine, and implant within his
tender conscience an adherence of
touching what does not belong to him,
you have laid the foundations of char
acter Of true nobility omdmkind.

SNOWFLAKES.

Out of the b lsom of the air,
Out of the cloud-folds her ga ment shaken
over the woodlands brown and bare,
over the harvest-felds forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fame es take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression.
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief 1t feels.
This is the poem of the air,
Slowly In silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair
Long in it's cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field

STOCK.

AS the young animals are not making
direct return for their keeping, it may
not be strange that, as compared with
the productive ones, they are somewhat
sighted. Still, they are in one of the
most important stages of their life, and
it is great and costly mistake to ne
glect them.
Skim milk is an excellent food for
calves, provided it is fed warm and is
properly balanced by the addition of oat
meal or oil meal, to make up for the fat
which has been removed in the form of
cream. 1t does not pay to feed even the
milk to young stock in haphazard way.
1t is a good time to dispose of the
small potatoes which may be on hand.
There can be no better disposal of them
than to feed them to the pigs; they
should be boiled. mashed and mixed
with skim milk, if it can be had, or with
water and a little bran. 1t is some work
to do things right, but it pays.
Experience in fattening seems to ia
vor the use of larger supply of carbo
hydrates, and indicates preference for
ration of equal parts of wheat and
corn, as promising greater success in
fattening than the use of wheat only.
An ordinary corn crop produces more
dry matter and more digestible matter
from an acre than good crop of clover
or timothy hay, the digestible matter in
the fodder alone being found to be equal
to that in two tons of either of the
others; but how much of it is allowed to
waste?
While light is very desirable thing
for stables and poultry houses, it is a
mistake to provide too many windows;
at least. we should remember that these
cause decrease in temperature in cold
weather. In any event, these windows
should have double sashes, or blankets
should be hung over them after the sun
has gone down.
Carelessness brings its punishment
every time. Under tariff regulations
Western wool will bring as much in the
Eastern markets as will that which is
imported, but it is true that the latter
is often in better condition, freer from
tags, &C., and we must not blame the
manufacturer who buys that which best
serves his purposes.
This is getting it down pretty fine, but
recent experiments show that the pot
ash, phosphorus and nitrogen in the

MINSTRELSY.

The poets of our own day seem but
commonplace in their outward "for N
and habit" compared with those min
strels of the Middle Ages who went about
in picturesque garb singing, to the &C
compartment of the harp, verses of love
and war, says the Youths Companion.
They were welcome everywhere; at court
in the palace, and among the common
people, who listened to their recital of
martial events with delight no words
can describe. No festivity was complete
without them, and especially were they
popular at tournaments, where their
praise of feats of arms fired the com bat
ants with an ardent desire to excel.
Among the northern nations Of Europe
the profession was regarded as some
thing sacred, and the same spirit was
brought into England at the settlement
by those rough tribes. Even as early
as the first invasion of Britain by the
Saxons. an incident is told which proves
that the minstrel was even then a we'll

AT THE LORDS SUPPER.
BY REV. Phoebe A. HANAFoRD.

A solemn hush was on the air,
Erstwhile that bread was broken
The hush that follows earest prayer,
When soulful words are spoken.
Bowed were the heads In silent praise,
The risen Christ adOriDg;
Each trusting soul its prayer could raise,
The help divine imploring.
Fond memory swept the echong chords
In many heart that morning;
Faith brought to view the saints whose words
Of sympathy or warning,
Had oft been heard in solemn hours,
Ere yet to heaven ascen, ed
Dear souls, whose con>ecrated powers
With highest hopes we're blended.
o sacred feasti hallowed timel
The saints long sweet communionl
Through all the Christian ages chime
Its bells of love and union.
Unite us to our common Lord,
Unite us to each other
o everything, vital World
o ever-loying Fatheri
Then sweetest memories in that day,
Shall turn to joys immortal;
While they who tread the upward way,
Through death find heavens portal.

promptly embalmed in verse, by
local poet, in the following fashion:
I'm the Presby terrain church, pretty high up in
the steeple,
Hung a loud-sounding bell to call together all
the people.
That bell was held in high esteem by all who
knew its sound;
1t rang so loud it could be heard for many
miles around.
THE minister who labored there did not ex-
actly suit;
The people thought they'd let him slide, but he
was rather cute;
He did not get his salary, for which they had
agreed.
And he was bound to have 1t. and he knew he
could succeed
"For he had formed plan which to Margrave
he did tell;
He would ascend the steeple and let down that
handsome bell.
So he mounted long ladder and climbed
through the steepe door,
And soon the bell came rushing down and
landed ON the floor
"Then followed fast his trouble. for the ladder
was taken away,
And he was up in the steeple-and there he had
to stay;
And there he preached al sermon far louder than
before;
Some said he threatened vengeance and others
said he swore!''
The subsequent history of this
same bell has a touch of romance
about it. The "pillars" of the church,
who took away the prize in the wag-
on, carried it, as afterward appeared,
to river near at hand and buried it
in the channel. AS it happened, one
of the citizens concerned in the bust
ness afterwards developed sympathy
with the Mormons. He impaired in
formation concerning the bell to an
other of like sympathies, and through
them its removal was effected. 1t
was conveyed secretly to the vicinity
of Bloomington-now Muscatine-on
the banks of the Mississippi River,
and there deposited in the channel of
a stream known as Devils Creek.
Thence it was carried to point near
Montrose, ILL.,, where it remained for
some years buried in the sand. 1t
was then exhumed and carried by
some Mormons to Kanesville, in the
neighborhood of Council Bluffs, from
which point it was conveyed by them
in their journey across the plains to
its present resting place. 1t was not
until twenty years after that the orig
inal possessors of the bell found out
where it had gone. Upon the COM
pletion of the Pacific Railway, some
parties from Iowa City in their jour
ney across the continent, stopped off
at Salt Lake City. There they dis
covered an old bell surmounting a
private school house. and upon it's
margin the familiar words, First
Presbyterian Church of Iowa City,
1896" Notice of the fact was prom
tly communicated to the officers of the
Iowa City church. Correspondence
was opened with the Mormon author
tiles; but SO high was the value
placed upon it as spoil taken from
the Gentiles, that, strangely enough,
it was decided to let the old bell re-
main a voiceless trophy in the far off
land of its captivity.
