square Hopkins Was Modest, but His
Friends Were Very Ingenious.
AS rode into Bisbee's Corners I met
the postofice coming up the main street.
It was a second class postoff1ce, and it
did not belle its class in the least. 1t
was a himsy frame structure, and its &C.
centric conduct was accounted for by the
fact that it was mounted On rollers and
was dragged along at snail's pace by a
windlass, the moving spirit Of which
was q doleful looking mule.
What building is that" inquired
Of group Of loungers who were watch
ing the exciting proceedings and concur
zently exuding large quantities Of advice
and tobacco juice.
That's the Bisbee's Corners postof-
fice," replied one eyed man who was
whiting shingle. "She's got great
old move on, hain't she?"
/ agreed that she had, and then made
inquiry as to the destination of the di-
lapidated structure.
"Waal, I'll tell ye," replied the one
eyed man as he borrowed plug Of to-
bacco from another lounger and cut off
huge slice. 1.-The most enterprisin citi-
zen in this town, present company bein
always excepted, of course, is Square
Hopkins the long headed justice of the
peace. He's jes the man to serve the
town in an official capacity; but, unlike
most Of these here politicians, he's the
modestest man in four counties We've
been wokin with him here for months
tryin to git him to stand as candidate
fer postmaster, but he's so blamed mod
est he won't do it fer love ner money"
:Dumdest modest man ye ever see"
cried another of the crowd
1.-The only thing we could git out Of
him after begin an pleadin fer weeks, :"
continued the one eyed citizen, was
that in his opinion the Office should seek
the man, and, actin on that suggestion,
we are a-movin her up Oh to his lot as
fast as that old mule kin hump her
along. New York Sunday Journal.

OF course, she pictured that photo
graph framed and hung up in his room
and was inclined to think that he
would par, with it with deep regret.
Just why she wanted it returned is i'm
material. Of course he had offended
her in some way, but it is unnecessary
to inquire how.
The reply to her note came the fol-
lowing day.

sUCCEssIONOF sWEETCORN

For a Connecticut Sweet Corn Trade-For
Massachusetts Summer Resort.
| A succession Of sweet corn for the Con-
necticut trade was the subject of a COM
munication to Rural New Yorker. The
writer said:
We do not depend on successive plant
ings, as oftentimes the same variety,
planted 8, 10 or 10 days apart on very
early ground, will often mature at prac
tically the same time. Nothing will kill
corn trade quite SO quickly as old,
tough corn. We think it just right when
the nail will easily break through the
skin of the kernel and it is full of milk
Of the short varieties, like Cory, we
have the rows 214 to 8 feet apart and
| the hills 21a feet in the row. Of the tall
varieties we have lows feet apart and
III to feet in the hill. Planting too
thickly will give too many small and
imperfect ears.
The reason why we prefer different
varieties is that people like change.
The later varieties are usually of better
quality. For 800 ears per day we should
plant about as follows: Two quarts of
First of All, 6 quarts of Early Essex, 8
quarts of Crosby's Early, quarts Of
Shakers Early, i quarts of Potter's Ex-
celsior, quarts Of Stowell's Evergreen
and quarts Of Country Gentleman.
Fer the earliest get dry land, with an
eastern or southern slope. Get good seed.
Buy it i'll the ear if possible. If planted
| too early, it is quite liable to rot. We
use stable manure largely, but little
| fertilizer goes into every hill to give it
a quick start One of the largest sweet
| corn seed growers i'll this country once
told me, 1--WE catalogue all varieties Of
sweet corn, but sell more Stowell's
| Evergreen than all the others put to-
gether.
A second correspondent writing, with
| q Massachusetts, summer resort in view,
said: II would plant Cory and Crosby
| as early as the season will permit, and
| then once in ten days or two weeks l
would plant Crosby for succession.
For my trade Crosby gives good salts
| faction, and | now plant no other kind
except Cory for very early. l plant
| Crosby and Cory corn in rows 80 feet
| apart, the hills of Crosby 3 feet and
| Cory feet apart i'll the rows, thinning
| to four plants to the hill. If the land is
good, 1 would suggest threefourths acre
each Of Cory and Crosby, planted May
|, and thereafter three-fourths acre
Crosby once in about ~ days to insure
| 800 ears per day.
For market and profit it is best for
one to use only the two kinds named.
"On rich land Potter's Excelsior is ex-
cellent, and Concord does pretty well.
The ears Of both are larger than Crosby.
1 have Il good deal Of hotel trade. and
the size Of the Crosby just suits. Last
year the retail trade at watering place
was much pleased with it. The larger
kinds Of corn, especially if the land is
rich, should be farther apart than Crosby
or Cory

Fernlented Honey.

In Langstroth' revised edition occurs
tho following: IF any honey should
ferment, let no one think that it is
spoiled, unless it was really unripe and
has turned quite sour. A slight amount
of alcoholic ferment can be evaporated
readily by melting the honey over water,
when the ferment escapes i'll the shape
Of foam. AS this fermentation is caused
by the presence of unripe honey, some
of our friends succeed i'll entirely pre-.
venting it by melting all their honey
Immediately after granulation. The
melting evaporates all excess of moisture
contained in it, and we highly COM
mend this method.''

New Uses For Greenhouses,

The decreased cost of constructing and
managing greenhouses is leading to a
great multiplication of their number,
and, as another result Of the uses to
which they are put, American Guilt
vator reports that Philadelphia owner
of numerous greenhouses for which he
could not find profitable use devoted
several to the growing of potatoes. OF
course i'll rich soil and with abundant
warmth and moisture the crop was very
large. He he'd homegrown potatoes as
early as they could be brought from the
south and made fair profit by selling
at the same price per peck as new pota-
toes brought per bushel a few weeks
later

ALONG The CYCLE PATH.

BY FRANK l.. STANTON.
Behold the lily, pale with fear,
The wild rose red with wrath,
While Love upon bicycle
Speeds down the Cycle Path.
His culver tossed in tangling vines,
His bow afar he hurls,
And dashes, flashes past the pines
With streaming, cleaning curls.
This way-tiat way.
Strew his path with pearls.
Follow, follow, follow
Catch him by the curls.
Away, away, He will not stay
For lovers, east or west.
The rose that bars his lightning way
Shall wear a crimson crest
He speeds, nor needs the lip that pleads'
Nor any roses wrath; ..,,
Kiss hands to Love, for Love still leads
Along the Cycle Path.
This way-that way,
Strew his path with pearls.
Follow. follow, follow
Catch him by the curls.
