hulled out 1Ol bushels of clover
seed from % acres of ground, or
nearly Az bushels per acre. He

having cut a good crop of clover

$16.47 per acre, while the land in
that neighborhood could be readily
purchased for one half that price.
Who can beat this crop Of clover
seed? Let's hear from you.

Corn Husk Bed.

For an under bed cornhusks are
much to be preferred to straw, for they
will not become so compact after use
and will wear much longer. One i'm
portant feature is to secure the husks
in proper condition. AS soon as toe
husks are taken from the corn. before
any mold or other harm comes to them,
take the fattest and best leaves, free
from stalks, silk, etc. and spread them
out to dry in some large, airy room,
stirring them well every fair day for a
month, or till they are perfectly dry.
AS they shrink somewhat. a good sup
ply should be secured of fresh husks.
Don's split the leaves; they do not be-
come fiat and solid, as many suppose,
but curl up and make the mass light.
a husk mattress is suitable for both
summer and winter use. and at all
times healthy. Wool mattresses are
liable to become infested with moths.
Where feather beds are used they may
be put above the husks in cold weather
and below in hot.-Western Plowman.

THAT COW in that field looked so like
my old Brindle l noticed it,"
well, L tell you what l will do" urged
the dealer, Il will let you have him for
seveA dollar"
The negotiations contfhued until
Jacob left with two pictures, gorgeous
with the bluest OF skies and the green
est of verdure.
"a mighty good bargain" said
as that picture of a drove of cattle at the
museum that they said was worth $25,-
600" Jacob carried his purchases home
and hung them in the sitting-room.
Then he feared the light and smoke
might injure them, and so he trans
ferred his new treasures to the bare,
unfurrished parlor. He opened the
shutter of the west window which
commanded a view of his woodland
This possession was particularly dear
to him.
1T would be kinder nice to set ia
here Sunday afternoons" he thought,
''if only 1t was fixed up"
Tilda Stubbs was coming next week
tC take charge of the work. Jacob made
a mighty resolve to change his manner
of living. He spent days at the city
stores before the furnishing of the
parlor was completed. He caught his
breath at the unwCnted splendors of
that apartment, gay with carpet of
vivid red, green and yellow, and chairs
and sofas upholstered with an equally
startling effect.
Some weeks later. he carried his wan
little wife into the parlor and seated her
in one of the gorgeous rocking chairs
Somehow he felt the moisture gather in
his eyes as he witnessed her almost
childish delight.
"Oh, Jacob" gasped she, cit seems
Ike decentralization we afford
it? Now you're in debt?"
I'VE amt in debt, Marthy," replied
Jacob. you know old man Cummins
was sick of his bargain and wanted to
back out. so | let him hev the farm
again and he's just as happy as a child
and says he's getting some sleep now.
and he hadn't had II good nights rest
all the time he was away from his OLD
hcme-and, Marthy," he continued
you amt never going to work hard
even if you do git we'll Tilda Stubs is
going to live here all the tine and some
day Wen go traveling-iest think of
that! I'm going to take YOU to see the
ocean and mountains aud ALL like as in

her tears. and Jaco?, bent down little
confusedly and kissed Washing

plenty of leisure TO think over the doc
'slecture. The next Sunday he was in
his accustomed place in the little brick
church. \ stranger filled the pulpit,
and his text was: Lay not up for Your
selves treasures on earth" He por-
trayed the character of the hardyorlt-
ing congregation and Jacob concluded
that he, like the doctor, spoke from per-
sonaJ experience. He pondered upon
the doctors talk and the sermon on
his way home. There was long Sun
day afternoon to be passed and Jacob
looked over his small collection of
books with a view of selecting enc to
while away the time. He took up the
''Pilgrims Progress" There was a leaf
turned down at the chapter where the
man with the muckrack was described;
there were few blistered places that
showed some one had been crying over
it, and with a sudden pang Tacob
remembered that Martha had been
reading this book the Sunday aft
ernoon he had told her OF his
purchase of the Cummins farm and
that the furnishing of the parlpr, de-
layed so many years, must be post
poned indefinitely.
The next week he paid his wife visit.
He was beginning to see himself in
new light and consequently II felt
more tenderly toward her. He had a
vague feeling that he did not UNDER
stand her. He knew she did nott,g@.ss;Tre in
his love Of money; he wondered what
enjoyment she could find in looking at
pictures, and, with view to making that
discovery, he visited the art museum.
He could not help but acknowledge
that he was interested himself in the
novel sight, and train time came too
soon. On his way to the depot, he
stopped to look at a picture in Win
dow; the proprietor of the store, espy
ing him. and ever on the alert for a GUS
toner, accosted him, saying:
Il just let you have dot picture sheap,
only ten dollar"

DON'T NEED GREECE's AID.
Russian Comment on the Pacifica-
ton of Crete.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 14.-The
official st. Petersburg Journal says this
morning: We recently stated the rea-
sons which determined the attitude Of
the imperial government as to the
Cretan question. Unfortunately they
do not seem adequately recognized at
Athens. Humanitarian motives actu-
ate the powers more than any other
consideration, as has been shown by
the action Of the powers toward the
Hellenic government. The Greek note
III reply to the powers endeavOrs, in
spite Of the practical utility of a sys-
tenn Of autonomy for Crete, to prove
that annexation to Greece will alone
end state Of anarchy While consent
Ing to recall her ships, Greece persists
that the cooperation of her troops is
necessary to the pacification of the
island, after which a plebiscite should
decide the fate Of Crete.
Such an attitude is unsatisfactory.
The powers had not in the present case
to consult the opinion of the Greek
government. They simply expressed to
Athens in succinct terms the decision
imposed by circumstances, WhereuntO
it was for Greece to conform. In re-
fuSing to heed this decision, Greece
gives clear proof that under a preteXt
of assuring a condition Of peace and
order in Crete, she is really pursuing
much less DISTINGUISHED object, name
" annexation by surprise.
THE powers are too unanimously re
solved to maintain peace in the East
to sanction such designs. They find
themselves compelled, though much
against their will, to have recourse to
vigorous measures which they shrink
from adopting in regard to Greece. At
the same time they VIII have in the
resources at their disposal a sure means
of pacifying Crete without the CO.
operation of the Greek troops"
