chnnre in the Line OF FARMING.

Every section Of country is especl-
ally adapted to some one or more
lines of farming. Every farmer is
especially adapted to some one or
more lines of work.
Is it not better that each farmer
should locate in the section where
he can best follow the line of farm
ing to which he is especially
adapted? IH
| lived in a section of Iowa for
thirty years. where wheat was p'ac-
tically failure. ! never tried but
two crops. 1t was far better for me
to raise grass and corn and feed the
crop to stock and buy my flour than
to attempt TO raise wheat. With
four and eight bushels per acre |
could not compete with ten to thirty
bushels, and it was useless to try.
The Kansas and Dakota wheat farms
needed a market for their flour, and
our section helped furnish it..
Other sections could not raise corn
and tame grasses, but we could, and
so they helped furnish market for
these, and our hogs, cattle and
horses.
We could raise a crop of peaches
once in five years. Better not try.
But other places from Maryland to
California could raise them every
year. Better for us to buy. SO we
might refer to every kind of crop
raised anywhere. Is it not folly for
everybody everywhere to try to raise
everything? Perhaps no one any
where attempts it.
But we get much advice that
borders very closely to this. The
local press used to urge us to raise
wheat, if but enough for home use
What folly when the transportation
charges from good wheat section
was but nine cents per hundred on
flour.
Let each farmer in each section
select his most profitable line OF
farming and stick to it. Every one
needs to sell of his surplus, and there
must be somebody who does not
raise this to buy it.
An extra good crop or a temporary
high price induces many to change
their usual line of farming, when
generally it would be better to con.
tinue in same line as normal condi.
tions will again prevail, and the OLD
line for which the farm is best
adapted and the farmer knows al
about will in the end pay best.-Ex

from heart failure will in the future be
unheard Of Life may be prolonged al
most indefinitely. Invested with this me-
chanical heart my dear, you may pursue
the avocations which secure to your small
family the means Of a continued existence
without any of those distressing feelings
which now pervade your bosom. And
you, my dear, shall be the first to be en-

Now Mrs Hesslerigg was on this auspi-
cious evening in an unusual state of mind.
In the first place, her grocer had refused
that very morning to enlarge her account
with him to the extent of bar of soap.
Then her bluing was too strong and in
stead of making her clothes look clear and
white it dyed them an uncertain and irreg-
ular green These things had so vexed
her accomplishing soul that she was real
ly revolving in her mind what means she
had at hand for terminating an existence
so entirely unsatisfactory
Perceiving in Mr.. Hesslerigg's sugges-
tion something which might relieve her of
the decidedly unpleasant task of swallow
ing u dose of liquid microbe exterminator,
her only available poison, and yet accom-
plish the same result, she acquiesoed, ex-
planning, however, the spirit with which
she entered into the scheme. But Mr..
Hesslerigg repealed the idea with great
vehemence.
THAT feeling arises from your present
heart, my dear" he assured her. "My
wonderful continuance will render recur-
renee of it impossible.
Accordingly the only two silver tea
spoons in the house were disposed of and
Mr. Hcsslerieg purchased bottle of ether.
The tubs were cleared out Of the way, the
kitchen table pushed into the middle of
the room, and after brief inward prayer
Mrs. Hesslerigg, fully convinced that she
was about to be relieved forever from the
cares Of earth and devoutly thankful that
the transition was to be SO easy, absorbed
as much of the fluid as she could and be-
came oblivious to things around her.
just what Mr.. Hesslerigg did to her
Mrs. Hesslerigg will never know, but
several days afterward she was able to
arise from her bed, perfectly sound and
healthy. The operation, much to her sur
prise, had been successful. She was con-
WINGED, not SO much by anything Mr.. Hes
slerigg told her, as by her own feelings,
that she had been invested with the me-
chanical heart. A lightness and buoyancy
peryaded her being, and there was none
of the old despondency. Her attitude to-
ward her husband, too, had undergone q
complete oh, uge, She was no longer hum
bic and subseryient. Her slavish affection
for him had disappeared with her old
heart and in the new organ he occupied
no place. She regarded his sluggish, in
dolent habits with aversion rather than
tolerance.
All the femenine chan acteristics which
had contributed so much to his comfort
had given place to perfectly masculine

Largest Mule I'm the World.

The largest mule in the world
arrived in Chicago Saturday, and
is stopping at the stock yards for a
short time. The animal is not des-
tined to be slaughtered, for it is to be-
come the star attraction in a menag-
erie in London,and will doubtless be
placarded as ian average American
mule" The mule is 10 hands 2l5
inches high, and weighs 1880
pounds. 1t is 8 years old. The dis
coverer of the animal is f. p. Brown,
a stock yard horse dealer, who
found it on its native heath in
Southwestern Missouri. He be-
lieved that his find was not in its
proper environments, and succeeded
in disposing of it to an English ami
NAL tanner. The mule will be
shipped East to-day.-Chicago Sun.

Sheep.


Out of total OF 2,l43,000 sheep in
the Maranoa district of Queensland,
Australia, the loss from wild dogs is
estimated at 428,000.
If you have not time to shelter
your sheep in summer or winter,
whenever they need it, you have
not time to raise sheep. No man
can afford to bury his lambs in
premature graves when he might
have kept them by exercising pru-
dent care.
The time will come when every
hock-master will just as regularly
sow some food every spring to pro-
vide pasture for his sheep rs he will
SOW seed to provide food for them in
winter. There will be a brighter
day for sheep then.
There was a gain of $50 in q flock
of 100 sheep in recent experiment
in feeding cotton seed meal with the
oil in it as against ordinary cottol.
oil cake meal; either linseed or cot
ton seed meal rich in oil-shows a de-
cided advantage in fattening all
stock. The more we feed it the
more merit we find, especially
along with other feed.

THE LONG WHITE SEAM.
As I came round the hnrbor buoy

As came round the harbor buoy
The lights began to CLEAN.
No wave Se landlocked water stirred.
The crags were white as cream,
And marked my love by camille light
Sewing her long white seam.
It's aye sewing ashore, my dear,
Watch and steer at sea!
It's reef and furl and haul the line,
Set sail and think Of theel
! climbed to reach her cottage door.
Oh, sweetly my love sings
Like n shaft of light her voice breaks forth
My soul to meet it springs
AS the shining water leaped Of old
When stirred by angel wings.
Aye longing to list anew,
Awake and in my dream,
But never a song she sang like this,
Sewing her long white seaml
Fair fall the lights, the harbor lights,
That brought me in to thee,
And peace drop down on that low roof
For the sight that did see,
And the voice, my dear, that rang SO cleal
All for the love of me-
For oh, for oh, with brows bent low
By the candies Pickering CLEAN,
Her wedding gown it was she wrought,
Sewing the long white seami

Farm and Garden Notes.

Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves.
Grapes thrive best in well-culti-
waited and well drained land.
Cherry trees must be grated early
if good results are expected.
Having the orchard trimmed up
keeps the trees bearing well.
Annual pruning largely avoids
the necessity for removing larger
limbs.
No fruit repays judicious pruning
and trimming better than the pear.
All trees that have roots or tops
bruised or mangled should be dis.
carded.
In setting out a tree, save some OF
the top soil, especially to put around
the roots.
BY stirring the soil after every
rain the weeds Will be more easily
destroyed.
The peach and plum are nearly
enough related to be budded OF
grated on each other.
Mulehing prevents the early flow
of sap by preventing the ground
from warming up too soon.

finement in a dry and comfortable
house.
The man who streaks off his land
and plants his corr, leaving the prep
aration of the land to be done dur
ing the cultivation of the crop, will
not need large crib, nor Will his
profits Justify such slovenly prepa-
ration.
1t is not q good plan to keep lay
ing hens and chicks in the same
flock. If the flock is fed enough to
make the chicks grow the hens will
be getting too much feed and will
not lay as well as they would with
less.
Farmers would do well to spend
some of theiT leisure hours this win
ter in considering whether they can
not add something to the variety OF
cir crops, either for sale or home
use, which will beprohtable to them,
without adding very much to their
labor or cares.
The system which increases fer
tility naturally improves the yield
each year, and puts the soil in such
mechanical condition that it is less
likely to be injured by drouth or eX-
cessive rainfall The only per-
manent agriculture is that which
provides not merely for maintain
ing, but for increasing, the fertility
of the soil.
Each field on your farm is fitted
for special use the coming year.
Consider the soil, the rotation and
the needs of the proposed crop, and
then you can go ahead with safety.
You c9nnot expect good results
without fore thought.

The dyspeptic carries dreadful load
on his back 1t seems as if he were re-
ally made up of,two men. One of them
ambitious, brainy and energetic; the
other sick, listless, peyish aud without
force. The weak man weighs the other
one down. The dyspeptic may be able
to do pretty good work one day, and the
next day because of some little in
discretion in eating, he may be able
to do nothing at all. Most cases of dys-
pepsia start with constipation. Consti-
patton is the cause of nine-tenths of all
human sickness. Some of its symptoms
are sick and bilious headache, dizzi-
ness, sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul
breath, windy belchings, heartburn,
pain and distress after eating. All these
are indicative of arrangements of the
liver, stomach and bowels, and all are
caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce's
