Cultivation can be kept up until the
crop is safe.
Do not let the timothy and the red

are to be fed out.

soil and SOW turnips.

Wasting Is loss of profit.
If any hay is stacked outside, let II
be timothy, red top or prairie hay.
At all times the more comfortable
the stock are the better they will grow,
If small grain of any kind is to be
| stored be ure that the granaries are in
good condition.
If necessary at any time to water
plants remember that one good soaking

a little grain or bran fed to the COWS

Well, my little friends, as Uncle Ned
is still on hand, and as he delights in
giving pleasure whenever and wherever
he can, he will not let you be disap-
pointed next week when you are look
ing over the B. for his notes They
say that dread cast upon the waters
will return" II he has made the smiles
play about your childish lips; if he has
gladdened one little heart, perhaps
some light may yet be thrown over his
sad life ere its evening shall close. Life
is so unreal that vanity of vanities with
some few exceptions was about all that
Solomon, the wisest of men, could make
or it. Mems happiness ceased when
the gates of Eden closed. There are
many Gains now a-days, whose hearts
are fired with anger and jealousy against
their brother man. Yes, my young read
ers, today has its Arnolds, its oppres-
sors, but there is little Moses hidden
away in the bullrushes of Nebraska, per-
haps, who will in due time rise up and
deliver his people. My little friends,
should you ever grace the halls of legis-
lation, don't go there to disgrace your
manhOOd-don't let the red sin of OPP
preston be stamped upon your souls
and the blood of our noble ancestors be
shed in vain for your country's freedom.

When Blondin Was Afraid.

When Blondin was astonishing the
world by exhibitions of his wonderful
feats of balancing, one of his favorite
jokes was to offer to carry some dis
tinguished spectator across the rope
with him on his back Everybody
naturally refused, and the great equi-
librist, with a genial smile, would say:
81 am sorry you are afraid I should
drop you" But he was hoist once
with his own petard, and the story is
told in the Washington Post. He was
exhibiting in Paris, and was about to
cross the Seine on his rope. Cham,
the great caricaturist, had come to
make sketch. Blondin, recognizing
him, at once invited him to cross with
him. "With pleasure, replied Cham,
'but on one condition" "And that
is?" queried Blondin. "That I shall
carry you on my back" answered
Cham. "Not if I know myself" an
swered Blondin. "Ah," triumphant

There are in this coun try, states the
Newcastle (England) Chronicle, $780,
900 families dependent on the bicycle
trade; and the trade is sure toincrease,
as people will come to look upon q
bicycle as they now do suit Of
clothes, not as if it were an obelisk
designed to last forever. When this
time comes, says writer in contem-
porary. a man will buy new bicycle
every two or three years and be hap
py. This year persons in the British
Empire will spend about $117, ,0C0, 900
on bicycles, and if the steel required
to make these hundreds of thousands
of wheels were converted into war ves-
sells, the result would be fleet of
ships sufficient in numbers and power
to make any Of the smaller Continen-
tai Powers feel distinctly uncomfort-
able. One cannot eat bicycles. But
bread is the staple food of many peo-
pie, and this year we shall spend more
money for bicycles than for bread, and
nearly as much as we shall spend for
meat.
