Some of the Reasons why the Wsrk
should He Done Thoroughly.
To prepare the ground for the seed, IL
should be deeply plowed In the autumn,
and cross-plowed, as the land cannot be
plowed in the spring without exposing
large surface to the strong drying eff
fects of the spring winds, and thus oc-
casioning the loss from the soil by
evaporation of a quantity of water pro-
portioned to the increase of surface eA-
posed By the reciprocal action of the
atmosphere and the soil the latter keeps
up its store of available nutrutive mat
tiers. The siIicates 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, nitrates, 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 tlirect
lions 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 mellowEess.
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 nutritiye ma
terial for the young plant dissolved by
the moisture of winter is always pres
ent. 1t is therefore in accord with rea7
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 it is covered with earth and up
on the stores of nourishment which it
finds in its first period of 1ife.-Andrew

PICKING THE DUCKS.

Their Feathers Usually Bring q Good
Price In the Market.
Duck feathers always bring fair
price, especially white ones, and should
be saved when dressing the ducks, if
dressed do not pick just before selling.
The amount received for the feathers
ought to pay for the dressing.
The breeding ducks may be picked
several times a year, generally iour to
six. Do not pick until the feathers are
ripe" which can be told by pulling
few from different parts of the bodies
of several birds. If they come out cas-
lily, without any bloody fluid in the
quill. they are all right and should be.
picked Or many will be lost. In pick
ing pull only few feathers at time
by taking between the thumb and fore,
finger and giving a quick downward
jerk. Do not pull the bunch of long,
coarse feathers under each wing.
Before you begin picking tie the
ducks legs together with bit of list
ing or other soft cloth, and if the duck
is inclined to object to the picking by
thrusts with the bill, slip an old stock
ing or something of the sort over its
head. Use no unnecessary harshhess
with any of the birds and be especially
careful with laying ducks. Sitting
ducks and those that are soon to lie set
should not be picked. In hot weather
much of the down may be taken from
the brakes. Do not take any in cold
weather.-Western Rural.

Take Their Money.

The Mckinley managers are raising
the largest corruption fund ever known
in the political history of the world.
The money is to be used only as I'M
scrupulous politicians know how to use
1t. Much of it will be saved to buy
votes on the day of election. Other
sums will be used to hire democrats to
march in republican professions and
TO attend republican meetings. We
advise democrats TO take all the repub-
iican money they can get hold of and
then vote the democratic ticket. There
IS no moral or political wrong IN this.
The trusts and combines and pluto
Gratis have combined to get high pro-
lection and a single gold standard in
order to rob the people and grind down
tue poor. They will resort to any
means of corruption. Their cam
paign is being managed by Mark Hanna,
who has never missed an opportunity
10 grind down the laboring man. and he
IS the representative of thousands Of
others who are like him. Therefore we
advise democrats eve rywhere TO take
every cent of republican money that is
offered them, and then vote the demo-
ratio ticket.-Illinois State Register.

80 Rora1 Road to Wea1th.

The farmer who wants to get rich
by farming must expect to work hard
for a humber of years. Brains are a
good thing TO have, and are not to be
despised, but the successful farmer
finds it necessary to use all the broins
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 1 took pleasure in il. -
No person should work so hard 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.-2ural World

AN AMERICAN DEFINITION.
The Democratic Nominees Idea of q
Business Man.

The Democratic Nominees Idea of q
business Man.
Not the least striking and important
of the many sterling statements made
by William Jennings Bryan in his IA
nous speech at Chicago was that in
which he said that too limited Il defini-
tior had been given to the term ''busi-
ness man." He contended that the man
who works for wages is as much bust
ness man as his employer, the lawyer
in a small town as much as the counsel
to a great corporation and the country
merchant as the great wholesaler in
New York. The farmer, he claims, who
by the application of muscle and brain
to the soil creates wealth. is as much
business man as he who bets upon the
board of trade on the price of grain.
This is truth and democratic truth.
We have been too long the victims of
Misrepresentation and malicious misrep-
resentation in terms applied by the few
tc the many. 1t was the belief of our
forefathers that all men are created
free and equal, and upon that belief this
republic was founded. Surely, in
America there should be no class dis
tinctions and no unjust abuse of &C.
cepted terms.
We are all business men. Every true
citizen of America is a business man.
And not the least of his business is that
which concerns the preservation of the
individual liberty guaranteed us by our
constitution.

The trite saying that gowns and

effect that it is not the gowns which

cance SO much as the way she wears
them. That Undesirable something
called style" is invaluable to the wom-
an who is fortunate enough to possess
il. 1t is God-given as surely as her dis
position or the color of her eyes. All
cannot attain it though they strive after
It, but most satisfactory results may
follow by not slavishly following every
fashion that prevails, by exercising
taste in the selection of becoming colors
and modes especially adapted to in
dividual requirements, and, above all,
10 the details Of the toilet. Every wom-
an has to work out her own salvation
in the art of dressing herself-for the
finest and most experienced modiste
cannot aid her in this. She can plan and
select and fit for her patrons, but there
is a style-a "knack" they used to call
it-of putting on ones garments after
they are fashioned.
Fashions are extremely liberal this
year of 90. There is simply no limit to
the variety of materials, garnitures, col
ors and styles. Infinite changes may be
