NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.
If Sincerely Made They Are a Help to
Right Character, Although
Sometimes Broken.

New Years resolutions are so often
made the target for cheap jokes by
cheap critics as to create the impress
sion that such resolutions are never
kept and never ought to be made. The
criticism is unjust, its logic is false,
it's effect pernicious. Arecent preacher
brought out the true idea in sermon
upon Peters pledge of devotion to his
master, even though all others should
temptation because of his earnest as
surance, but in spite of it. It had been
said that hell was paved with good res
olutions. If that was true it was GER
tainly the best thing about that place.
We must resolve before we do. Right
resolutions sincerely made are a help to
right character, even if by distress of
opposing forces some of them are not
kept. Peters faith did not finally fail,
and very likely he had more faith and
more strength because he failed once
and so learned his weak point. 1t is
good thing, then, with the thoughtful
ness belonging to the outlook of new
year, to desire and decide and declare
that we will live truer, nobler lives.
Making the resolve, not lightly or
boastfully, but seriously and expecting
the Divine help, we shall succeed in part
if not in full. He whom we call Mas
ter and Lord is praying for us that our
faith fail not. The man who resolved
and failed and tried again became a
strong man. What he wrote to his
brethren in the first century was doubt
less an echo of his own experience, and
it will be fulfilled even to the TWEEN
tieth century: "After we have suf-
fered awhile, God will make you per-
feet, stablish, strengthen, settle you. -

Youne rye tor Pa.turare.

Young rye is one Of the most valu-
able crops after frost appears that can
be grown on q farm containing stock, as
it serves as pasturage and provides
green food for quite period after all
other green crops are gone. 1t also
gives the earliest green food in the
spring. Rye is SO easily and quickly OBJ
tanned in the fall that there is no rea:
son why q plot Of it should not be seeded
every fall where stock can be kept. Do
not allow the animals on the rye when
the ground is wet and soft, as they may
do damage BY trampling. but otherwise
the rye will stand close grazing.

PRIZE CORN CROPS.
Like other Things in This vale Of
Tears They Are Not Always
What They Appear to he.

There are corn crops and corn crops.
1t is possible for two men to raise
each 100 bushels of corn to the acre
and yet have one man raise twice as
much corn to the acre as the other.
This appears parado1cal, but it is
easily explained. One man may plant
his corn at such late day that it will
become only well glazed at the time
it has to be gathered for exhibition;
while the other man may plant his
corn early and thus give it time to
thoroughly mature before it must be
gathered. Corn gathered just after
the roasting-ear period is very heavy,
and will at that time sometimes weigh
double what it will when it has been
well dried. This is the secret of some
Of the enormous yields of corn that
have been recently reported. The fig
ures that claim yields per acre well
up to the 2O0-bushel mark are based
on weighed and not measured bushels.
Inspect that same prize corn few
months after it has been gathered and
it will be found looking very shaky.
Every kernel will be found standing
by itself and with an abundance of
room between it and its neighbors.
Really such prize corn does not fill the
requirements, or should not. The
water content Of corn should be taken
into consideration, and we are not
sure that it would not be good idea
to have each sample entered analysed
for its water content, and this analy-
sis be taken into consideration when
making the awards.-Farmers' Re-
view.

bag of oats for his horse, and had
come up through the side lane and
taken the liberty to put the animal
in our barn to eat his oats, while he
himself ran in to see how we all Jared
this inclement day, etc., etc. I slid
out while he was thus discoursing and
rushed to the parlor with a very for
lorn hope of finding stray stick or
two left over there, making fire
and getting him into the parlor while
we finished the dinner. The hope died
as poked my head into the arctic des-
olation of our best room. It was on
the east side, where the spiteful wind
had been battering at it all night,
searching out hundred crevices
about windows and door to hurl the
fine, powdery snow through. There
were drifts, varying in size, on the pi-
ano, on the chairs, and dainty white
powdering all over the carpet, which
the wind had pulled in under the door.
You could fairly feel the gale whisk-
ing about your ears. There wasn't
a scrap of wood nor a chip in the
wood box. Relinquishjug wild idea
of chopping up parlor chair or two
to make fire of, I scooted back to
the sitting-room chilled to the bone.
Dora, putting as bold face upoa
the situation as possible, was bringing
in dishes from the dining-room and
setting the table right under the eyes
of the minister, who was chatting
away as serenely as if he hadn't
driven us all frantic by his ill-timed
call. Aunt Laura had levied on her
cellar goodies and produced preserved
ounces, apple jelly, picked peaches
and chow-chow, SO the dinner wasn't
SO frightful. The only thing I was
ashamed Of was the corn cakes; they
were SO big. and clumsy, and Dora had
crumbled the edges in turning them.
But that good man seemed to think
we had a banquet, and even the corn
cakes didn't go begging so far as he
was concerned.
We all made merry over our predic-
ament as we told him how It hap
pened, and he joked about It, too. but
shook his head q little, and said IL
loughtn't to 60 on that way. He pro-
ceeded upon his errand soon after din
sner. and we went about our work with

I was left small orphan, in Uncle
Johns time, and he and Aunt Laura
had not made an atom of difference
between Dora and me in their love
and care. But now it had been so long
since I had heard from Frank ]
couldn't help being afraid he had
frozen to death or been buried in a
snowslide. And this dreadful rainy
day couldn't even have the satisfac-
ton of going or sending to town for
the mail, if there should possibly be
any news.
Dora and I had an unwritten law
that the more downcast we felt the
jollier we should force ourselves to be.
To-day I think we degenerated into
Stiffness in our efforts to be cheer
full. But lot of smaller troubles
followed each other SO persistently-
such as the refusal of the cook stove
to draw, the falling of the light bread
in consequence, a slip in the mud on
Dora's part, etc., etc.-that when, to
cap the climax that evening, our be-
loved fireplace smoked sulkily and re-
lentlessly, we felt that we might as
well wind up the year by going to bed
at eight o'clock.
When we were all Struggled down
and the lights were out I could have

beautifully. And Aunt Laura came

HOW TO RID OATS OF SMUT.

should not be filed to the top-put in
about q bushel and a half. SO that
the seed will be loose. Dip them into
the warm water and agitate few
minutes, getting the entire bulk
soaked; take out the bag and hang
on the hook (E) of lever (D) and dip
into the large vessel (B), under which
live fire should be burning, the wa
ter being between 100 and 1877 degrees
Fahrenheit. The lever is operated so
as to avoid close contact with the hot
water or smoke of the fire. Let the
bag of oats stay in the hot water from
five to six minutes, pressing the lever
up and down. Take out and place in
another vessel (C) which contains cold
water; after cooling sow the seed and
the smut trouble is avoided for at
least three years if the work has been
properly done.
The hot water kills every spore and
puts the seed in good shape for quick
termination. The cost of the process
will be about 20 cents per acre. The
vessels A and G may be ordinary laun-
dry tubs or halves Of barrels, being
large enough to immerse the bulk
oats introduced into them. The hot
water vessel should be strong and
rigid; an iron kettle is often used for
the purpose. A sheet iron vat or bar
rel may be purchased of tank manu-
facturers at q reasonable price.
Sow the oats Immediately after be-
ing treated. No serious results will
follow il the water is Of higher tenn
perature, but the degrees given are
about right. There is no danger of
injuring the terminating power Of the
oats and the treatment is easily and
speedily done.-Farmers' Voice.

than two hours after he left that
Uncle Jink, dilapidated old colored
man, appeared with yoke of steers,
which he left in the lane while he
came plodding through the snow to
the house.

grinned, $50 I lowed I'd come an

Aunt Laura, ''for we are in great need

you for it to-day, Uncle"
"Dass all right-dass all right" in
terrupted Uncle Jink; ''don't y'all
boddah bout dat-dass all right" and
he scuffed away, leaving us a little
mystified, for it was not quite like
Uncle Jink to be so Indifferent about
compensation for his good deeds.
"Of course Mr.. Melton went and told
him to come, and either paid him or
agreed to if we didn't" expounded
Dora, and looked as if she were ready
to fall in heap.
cit was very good of him if he did,"
said Aunt Laura.
"Good-yes; but who wants to be an
object of charity" groaned Dora, ''es-
pecially-"
"Oh, we'll, I don't suppose he'll
preach about it next Sunday said,
consolingly; but Dora wouldn't cheer
up very much. Still, it was very COM
Portable to have plenty of wood, and
I felt grateful to the good man for
instigating Uncle Jink to come to our
assistance.
Of all the 1865 days of that year the
three hundred and sixty-fifth was the
most dismal at Maple Knoll. 1t opened
with drizzling, soaking rain, much
more depressing than the blizzard
from which it evoluted; the kind that
dampens your spirits in spite of all
the philosophy you can bring to bear
against it. The sky was dismal gray
waste without a slit of light. Aunt
Laura had a racking neuralgia in her
face. Dora had been dreaming about
charity and wood all night. AS for
me, I had little trouble of my own

gressively than ever. I never had but
one lover Il never wanted but one),
and he was poor young, man who
had gone to the frozen Alaskan re-
gions with the avowed intention of
making his fortune and coming back
to share it with me, rebuild the old
house into a stately mansion and take
care of Aunt Laura and Dora, which
was quite proper; for, you see, had
been gathered into the family when
