Oueer Casep Of .yilt.

A well known novelist was once Tilted
by girl who took exception to the in
adequate punishment meted out to one
of his fictitious villains. She declared
that, as he regarded vice with so lenient
an eye, he must himself be at heart II
repnbate and unworthy Of true love and
that she must request that their ac'
quaintance should cease.
An eminent lawyer in his younger days
met with similar mishap. The lady to
whom he was engaged. CHANGING to hear
that be had delivered most skillful,
though futile, speech in defense of an
arrant rogue, wrote, saying that she must
decline to know one who could thus
strive to speciously excuse crime. In re-
turn he pleaded the exigencies of the pro-
fession, but in vain. The lady was obdu-
rate and soon nfterward, by the strange
irony of fate, married a man who was
ultimately convicted Of gross fraud,
mainly through the forensic eloquence OF
her former lover.-Boston Traveller.

Improvement of Seed Wheat.

Growers who, before harvesting,
have gone into the wheatfield and Sc
lected a number of the most desirable
heads for seed are now in position to
carry out the Kansas stations pro-
gramme for the improvement Of seed
wheat Usually the selection is upon
the basis Of yield and quality, in which
case the heads selected will be large,
well formed and with plump, uniform
grains. The grain derived from these
heads should be grown upon plot Of
ground under the most favorable con-
ditions. The grain gathered from this
plot furnishes the seed for the third
year. But before harvesting selec-
ton of suitable heads should be made
from this for the next seed plot. In
this way the seed is each year improv-
ed or at least maintained at its present
standard. The size Of the seed plot
depends upon the total area Of the
wheat to be grown. Furthermore, the
seed plot may be given much more
careful treatment than is applicable to
the field. 1t Is best to have the seed
plot within the main field, SO MS to he
entirely surrounded by wheat. This
lessons the loss from grasshoppers and
other insects and gives the plants bet
ter protection.

friend, with whom she had quarreled,
Mrs. Sarah Machamer, widow, aged
SO years, made a desperate attempt to
end her life by throwing herself on the
tracks before an east bound freight
train. near the Third street crossing of
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
in this city. Fortunately the engineer
had slackened speed, and, having OBJ
served the womans form on the track,
was enabled to stop the train. When
the engineer and crew attempted to re-
move her she made a stubborn resist
ance, but finally yielded to persuasion.

thronged about him to applaud and re-

The memory of some past misdemeanor

TIMOTHY ALONE.
The Record of q Fine August Sow
Crop In Ohio.

The Record Of Fine August sown
Crop In Ohio.
Yesterday we cut the last Of the
timothy. an August sown crop, sown
alone, and q finer field of timothy l
never had upon the farm, writes an
Ohio correspondent to The Rural New
Yorker. The field was intended for
another crop, but a severe drought
made the blowing 80 difficult that 1t
was deferred for q rain and so was not
plowed until about July 4, when 1t
was turned over, heritage beneath.
About Aug. 1, right after heavy rain,
the land was made fine as cutaway
and harrows could make 1t, rolled and
the timothy sown on-six quarts per
acre-and lightly narrowed in, or
rather, Breeds weedered in. The weeds
were clipped down with the mower
and with the result that l do not re-
member ever having so fine crop
of this horse hay as on this August
sown field.
My thought is that clover may be
made much surer crop than it Is
when sown with oats, If the land Is
made fine and compact before the clo-
yer seed Is sown, and 1t should be
lightly narrowed to get 1t In more
deeply than surface sowing and then
trusting to luck for 1t to get root hold.
This has been our practice for years,
with. think. not n failure In the time.
Then why should not timothy be
sown as a crop by itself, and not have
to be nursed by grain crop? The
secret Of success, think, is to keep the
weeds and foxtail grass cut down so
that they cannot get a start to over
shadow the crop we want. In our
anxiety to get soiling and ensilage
crops we must not forget that grass Is
the foundation Of good soil fertility,
and our clovers and grasses must be
maintained In a rotation that recog-
nizes them as the great renovators Of
our farms and gives to them the first
chance, and that chance should be a
deep concern of the farmer to pro-
mote.
The New Way of Tying Out Cow.
The old method Of tying out cattle
and horses by rope attached to
stake driven In the ground has many
disadvantages. The rope is not always
liable to tangle, but the animal is liable
at any time to get fast in the rope and
become injured and sometimes killed.
The ground grazed over, too, is Of a cir
cular shape, and the creature staked
out on this plan must leave pieces Of
the ground untouched or work over q
portion of the old browsing place. BY
using the trolley all these are done
away with.
A large sized wire of any desired
length, with stake at each end, Is
used for this trolley. A ring 2 or 3
inches in diameter Is strung on this.
Into this ring tie rope, which is also
attached to the halter The length Of
this rope regulates the width of the
ground the animal can pick over. A 5
foot rope will allow the grazing Of a
strip 10 feet wide and as long as the
trolley wire, as the ring slips readily
on the wire. When it is desirable to
move the animal pull the stakes and
set them ahead twice the length Of the
rope attached to the ring. 1t is not
necessary to have the rope free Of the
ground 1t is well to have the wire
taut. This will be found most salts

This seed can be sown at almost any
season of the year when there 10
enough moisture to cause it to germi-
nate. The best time, however, Accord
ing to The New England Homestead,
Is in autumn, say about the middle Of
September or in early spring, when
the frost is coming out of the ground.
Possibly the best way to sow it Is in
connection with timothy or some other
grass. If blue grass only is wanted,
SOW it alone in well prepared seed
bed. Keep the weeds down until a
good sod has been formed. 1t soon
crowds out the other grass, SO that
sowing with timothy may be more sat
isfactory in that catch is often more
easily secured than If sown alone.
