ABOUT FALL FLOWING.
Some OF the Reasons Why the Work
Should BE Done Thoroughly.

Some OF the Reasons Why the Work
Should BE Done Thoroughly.
To prepare the ground for the seed, It
should be deeply plowed in the autumn,
and cross-plowed, as the land cannot be
plowed In the spring without exposing
q large surface to the strong drying eff
fects of the spring winds, and thus oc-
casioning the loss from the sol, by
evaporation of quantity of water pro-
portioned to the increase of surface ex-
posed. BY the reciprocal action Ct the
atmosphere and the soil the latter keeps
up its store of available nutrutive mat
tiers. The silicates soluble with diff
Guilty slowly yields alkalies, lime and
magnesia in soluble forms; the sui
phides are slowly converted into sui
pilates, and generally the minerals Of
the soil are disintegrated and mixed
under the influence Of the oxygen, the
water, the carbonic acid, and the nitric
acid of the air. Again, the atmospheric
nitrogen is assimilable by the soil in the
shape of ammonia, nitmtes, and the
amide like matters of humus.
The rate of disintegration, as well as
that Of nitrification, depends in part up
on the chemical and physical character
of the soil, and partly upon the temper
allure and meteorological conditions.
Moreover, the soil lying in rough in
terfurrows has been subjected to the
action of frost; it is in its upper layers
SO broken up and divided in all direc-
tons by the powerful expansion of the
water when converted into ice as to be
reduced to the condition of the greatest
possible fineness, recognized and so
much desired by the farmer under the
term mellowness.
1t has consequently attained that de-
gree of pulverization and porosity
which. with an adequate degree of mois-
ture. affords solid standing ground for
the young plant, while at the same
time enough air for the development Of
the germ can penetrate the surface soil,
and in the upper layers nutritive ma
terial for the young plant dissolved by
the moisture of winter is always pres
ent. II is therefore in accord with rea-
son not to pillow the land at all in the
spring, but TO put in the seeds without
further preparation than previous
narrowing.
The vigorous development of plants
depends far less upon the weight and
size of the seed than upon the depth
TO which ii is covered with earth and up
on the stores of nourishment which II
finds in its first period of life.--Andrew
II. Ward. in Farm. Field and Fireside.

Troughs for Young stock.

1t is not great undertaking to pro-
vide a small trough in some convenient
corner where they can eat their soaked
corn and milk unmolested by older
stock. They learn at an early age to
visit their sideboard and their apprecia-
ton of its contents increases daily. As
time goes on they will become more de-
pendent upon their side ration, until,
as you go the pound with the feed buck
cts. you are (reninded that you have
another regular lot on your feed roll.
BY the time they are ten rr twelve weeks
old you have them weaneT with but little
ceremony. They have become so at
tached to their feed trough that they
miss their mother but little, and the
sow will have reduced in the flow Of

Eashion's Latest Lore.

The newest evening coitfures are in
1890 style, with motives Of jet, steel
and StraSs.
The link belts in enamel are much
worn by those who possess pretty gold

them by chains.
The newest sort of yoke is made of a
close-set white cord. braided in an inn

the top of the bodice and entirely to
the bust. 1t is either of this fashion or
else quite narrow, merely band across
the upper portion of the neck attached
to rounded drapery dropping over the

NOT THE DOGS FAULT.
She blamed Fido for All OF tho Excite
ment.

one bhhmeu rluo Tor All or the Excite
A well-dressed woman, leading a
frisky Skye terrier by a chain, walked
into the ladies' cabin of Gloucester
ferryboat the other day. AS soon as
she had seated herself tho Skye terrier
with blinking eyes crawled under the
seat and proceeded to go to sleep.
A well-dressed Gloucesterite, carry
ing a small market basket, entered the
ladies' cabin and deposited his $50
pounds of avoirdupois in the next seat
tc the woman with the Skye terrier. He
showed his basket under the seat, and,
without drawing a newspaper from his
pocket, settled himself to read.
The boat was moving from the slip.
when suddenly the woman began to
wriggle. She toyed impatiently with
her skirts, and, in stage whisper
audible to those nearest her, said:
"Don't be rude, Fido," and gave the
dog chain little jerk. A moment
later she turned pale. and, giving the
chain n hard jerk, said, screechingly:
"Lie down, Fido; behave yourself, sir!"
The passengers smiled, and the woman
gasped. She jumped up with a shrek
that would have done credit to Sioux
Indian, and began to strike her skirts
and dance about as if executing a
Comanche war dance. AS she and the
dog swung round the cabin the animal
resembled a rag pin wheel just set off.
The other passengers had by this time
become intensely interested in the per-
Torrance and stared at the woman in
open-eyed wonder. An idea suddenly
struck the well-dressed Gloucesterite.
He reached under the seat and calmly
withdrew his basket, and as he raised
the lid look of wisdom overspread his
rotund features. To him, at least, the
mystery of the woman's actions was
made plain.
madam" he said, without moving an
eyelash, "when you are through with
my lobster will you kindly return it to
ne?'
There was a last wild despairing
shrek as the woman collapsed into a
dead faint. Then the Gloucesterite
wrenched open the jaws of his lobster
and replaced the crustaccan in his
basket. Some among the crowd con-
tinued to roar, while others set about
restoring the unfortunate woman TO

The farmer who wants TO get rich
by farming must expect TO work hard
for a number of years. Rains are a
good thing 10 have, and arr not to be
despised. but the successful farmer
finds it necessary to use ali the bruins
and about all the bodily strength he
has in order to succeed. The writer
never knew but one man who worked
too hard; he said in his last sickness:
"Some people blamed me for working
too hard, but took pleasure in H."
No person should work so bard during
the day that he can't sleep at night
and feel rested in the morning. What
many farmers need is not less land. but
more enthusiasm in their business and
more thorough cultivation of their
acres.-Rural World.

Cure for scaIy Leg.

Scaly leg is an unsightly and rapidly
disiguring disease of the feet and legs
OF domestic poultry caused by minute
insect multiplying and piling up Under
the scales and raising them up and ulti-
mately causing lameness and death.
These parasites spread from one bird to
another and hence are contagious. On
the first appearance of roughness rub
mixture of kerosene and lard into the
scales, and if the day is warm one the
lard may be omitted. After day OF
two the infected legs should he washed
thoroughly in tepid water and after
drying little should be anointed
again with the kerosene and lard.-

PineappIe with Rice.

This is an admirable dessert. Put
pint of milk over the fire, and
the moment it boils add a third
of cupful of well-washed rice
and half teaspoonful of salt. Let the
rice cook in double boiler in the milk
for half an hour. Add two eggs well
beaten and three tablespoontuls of gran
ulated sugar. Have ready buttered
two-quart mold, in the bottom of which
put an inch layer of the prepared rice,
then a layer of stewed pineapple, and
so on alternately. When the mold is
filed, set it into pan of hot water,
and cook in moderately hot oven for
half an hour.-Good Housekeeping.

THE WORK OF HOUSEKEEPING.
1t May lie Made More Easy by Econom-
ical Arrangement.

lcai arrtngemeut.
II is of no use pretending that house
keeping is easy; it isn't. 1t is hard
work. However. there are ways Of more
or less alternating the hardship, and
some of them have been discovered by
family in the suburbs. where servants
are generally unsatisfactory and uncer-
tain of tenure. This particular house
hold consists of mother and two
daughters. If they are left maidless-
and that is no uncommon occurrence

which they have evolved. One prepares
the breakfast one morning, luncheon
the next day. and dinner on the next.
The other two clear away and wash the
dishes. Thus each one is responsible for
different meal each day. and has no
other concern except the mere menial
labor. Whoever gets the breakfast does
the upstairs work as well thai day.
Another plan of this family. even
when they have servants. is to divide the
catering, seeing after the meals. etc.
among themselves, so that il shall not
prove so wearisome task to anyone.
They each take turns by the week in
marketing, planning food and oversee,

greater variety for the table, and is
good practice for the daughters as well
as relief to the mother. Likewise il is
