CUNNING OF THE LEFT HAND.
Some of the Advantages Possessed by
the Ambfdextrous

Some of the Advantages Possessed by
the Ambfdextrous.
Ambidextrous men and women, or
those who can use either right OF left
hands with equal facility, are not near
ly SO frequently met with as might at
first be supposed; in fact, they are
quite rare. This double faculty is, how
ever, much more frequently met with
among butchers and sailors than in any
other walks OF life. Left-handed butch
ers are numerous, as a walk through
any of our large market houses will
quickly demonstrate, but it is a very
interesting study to watch any of them
who viii cut. chop, saw and handle his
meatswithou.cnce echangingit from one
side to the other on the block or chang
ing his own position.
In view of the many advantages de-
rived from the ability to use both hands
equally veil. n.any people have often
expressed surprise at the action of ed
irrational authorities in insisting on the
tise of only the right hand. instead of
trying 10 develop an equal skill in the
other They ail stick to the right hand
ed idea, however. and an old resident of
Franlford. noted for his ambidextrous-
ness-is still mourning the loss of a prize
at school through the use of his left
hand in writing. although he was equal
~ slSillful rs . penman with his right.
The benefits derived from the use
of both hands were excellentiy Illus
trated in the experience of two car
penters who lived in Frankford some
years ago. Their names Were Cross and
Walton and the former was right hand
ed. the latter left-handed. As one was
also very tall and the other very short.
they made a curious couple. but they
always worked together laying floors
and putting up joiners' work in build
ines.
They could take jobs of this character
cheaper than any other. because they
could work from either end toward
each other so handiiy. Cross would
squire a floor board at one end and
Walton would scribe and cut it off
10 fit at the other end and then nail
down. working together from opposite
e5tds
Lcft-handed machinists are always
at n disadvantage as machinery is i'm
sariahly adapted to people who work
right-handed. but the ambidextrous
man or woman is always at home in
whatever work is undertaken.--Phila-
delphia Record.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

No other instrument is so well adapt
ed to pulverizing small clods as the
plank drag.
great man once said that the most
important secret of success with crops
is TO remember to stir the soil.
Even half dozen sheep are better
than none, as they will keep down the
weeds and prevent the farm from be-
ing seeded with such pests.
Feed up the corn fodder, millet and
other cheap forage as closely as may be
and save the timothy hay, which is a
cash article. while the others are not.
Not only must the soil contain food
clements. bat they must be thoroughly
mixed and incorporated in the soil TO
become available as plant food. There
fore. let the ground he heavily mauured
and every square inch for foot in
depth well pnlverixed.
Farmers who sowcd crimson clover
last fall will have an excellent fertiliz-
ing material for plowing under. No
nitrogcnous fertilizers will be required
where crimson clover has grown. but
application of phosphates and potash
will be beneficial. They cost but a
small sum. however. compared with the
substances containing nitrogen.
II is seldom that n farmer can accu-
mulatc n sufficient amount of wood
ashes for a large field. but on farms
where wood is used there is limited
supply, which can be put to good use
ON the garden or on the young clover.
Ashes are excellent also on all grass
lands and in orchards. They are up
piled broadcast. in any quantity de-
sired. MS many us 100 bushels per acre
having been used on certain soils.--
