Dragging Corn Stubble Land.

So soon as frost is we'll ont of the
glound in spring. two horses with heavy
drag should be run over the corn stubbe
of last year. 1t is an excellent prelmra-
ton for blowing tightening and drying
the surface soil. so that when it is turned
under the furrow it at once begins to fer
mcnt. Land thus treated makes an ex-
celIcnt seed bed for grain. The work
also is just what horses need to break
them in for the heavier work of blowing
which must follow.

Were Too Greedy.

ne proprietors Of the Washington ho-
tells, who raised their prices for the week
day, are said to be much disgusted with
themselves. None of the hotels were
filed. Guests who would have remained
in Washington if the prices had been
anything but extortionate, rented looms
in the Baltimore hotels and took early
trains for Washington and returned to
Baltimore in time to dine and dress for
the inaugural ball.
