She walks In Beauty.

She Walks In Beauty.
(Old Favorite Series.)
h walks in beauty like the night
OF cloudless chimes inc starry skies; .
And all that's best Of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect n her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less.
Had. half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens DER her face
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear, their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek, and DER that brow,
So soft. so calm, yet eloquent.
The smiles that win, the tints that glow.
But tell of days In goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.

Last summer I was greatly inter-

tatoes and corn. says L. b. Pierce in
Country Gentleman. A town Irishman
had under his charge q small farm just
outside the city. He rented 1t. but
when plowing-time came the tenant
gave up the contract. and left him with
. piece Of land OF rather doubtful fer
.tility and no one to work It. It had
been In corr the year before, and my
irish friend. with but n horse. set
his wits to work to get another crop
With minimum Of labor. He ran q
large shovel plow between the rows
one way and marked with q corn
marker the other. He tthen dropped By
hand a strip Of potatoes. and planted
the rest with corn, covering all by
straddling each furrow with q Planet
u. cultivator, with the sweeps turned
Inward. The potatoestcame nicely, but
the seed corn, being taken from q lot

Glover Hay.

We notice in a contemporary an as
sault ON clover hay. The writer Of the
article in question SEEM to think it
an %impossibility to get clover hay in
good order, and says he had rather
raise three babies than one clover hay
CROP" That is IN odd comparison,
and we are inclined to think that he
knows about as much about raising
one as the other. The complaint is
made that it is difficult to get a catch,
and after the catch is made it is diff
cult to know when to cut 1t. After
that the rain always comes, with him,
and soaks the hay, making 1t moldy
and unfit to use. Well, we would adj
wise a little experience in the matter.
It is indeed often difficult to get a
catch, and in some years no amount
Of forethought can prevent a failure.
Many Of our best farmers succeed in
getting q start by sowing on the snow
In March.
AS to cutting clover, 1t has long been
q settled tenet with .our scientific
farmers to cut at time Of the earliest
blooms, unless the field is q small. one,
when it may be cut at time Of full
bloom: The reason for moving at
time Of first blooms is to get the whole
field cut and In process Of curing be-
fore the blooms begin to fade. This
prevents the stalks becoming woody
and gives us the fodder In the best
possible shape. The curing Of clover

good weather. II foggy New England.
IAN cure clover hay, we 9 no reason
why It should be q difficult task in the
West, where the amount Of sunshine

years, too. we have the help Of q new
invention-the hay cap. These caps
can be made for q few cents each. and
are q complete protection against
storms that may come at time Of cur
ing the clover. They will last a long
time, for some years they will not
have to be used at all.
We would like to hear from our
readers as to the amount Of damage

with bugs Just Matched; but he was
equal to the occasion, and one morn
ing I saw him with two w%ild-cherry
boaghs lashedaacross his cultftator.s
The bonghs in going and returning
swept as with q bosom the high slen-
der tops, brushing about all the bugs
to the ground, and many Of the smaller
when buried by the cultivator never
got back upon the tops, while all were
SO distributed as to do comparatively
little injury; he had to use Paris green
on only two poor slopes where the po-
etatoes were too small to receive proper
treatment at the passing Of the brush.
After the mar once started the culti-
vator he worked as only an Irishman
can work, and the result seems to
point to a fine crop Of potatoes, and as
good cor as could be expected with
two seed failures. I might explain that
the crop the previous year had been
kept very clean, and the land not be-
ing reversed there was but little
trouble with early weeds.
This is the first case of listing"
which has come under my observation,
and The inference I should draw would
be that where corn is to follow corn
it might, with some modification, be
practiced ever in Ohio. Had the mar
started cultivating across the burrows
the day after planting. while the marks
were fresh, and put the c%ultiyator
down deep close to the hills, there
would have been but a very small spot
not loosened. The other way, the old
cornhills would guide the %cultivator
at any time before the crop came up,
and it would be possible to have the
whole under clean, mellow cultivation
before the crop came up. It is a quick
way of putting in corn or potatoes, and
if I had a rush job on hand I should
not hesitate to try it.
Proper Location of Crops.
There are few farms that do not
have a variety Of soils. Especially Is
this true on hilly land and even on
some rolling land. There is the sandy
loan and the clay loan and some soils
that cannot be called loamy in any
sense. Where varieties of soils exist
the crops should be placed on them ac-
,cording to the nature of the crops to
be grown. One would not suppose this
advice necessary, but 1t is. The writer
has seen sugar beets grown on the
sandy loan of a farm n year and
give immense results, and he has seen
the same crop put On heavy, lumpy
clay the next year and give almost no
results.
This practice not only destroys the
usefulness of the crop that is placed
On ground unsuited for it, but it dis
places some other crop that would
thrive on that same ground. The cab
bage crop is one that will do well on
these heavy clay soils, and the par
snip crop, as every farmer; knows, de-
mands clay to do its best. The trouble
is that with the parsaip crop the de-
mand is small and no large area can
proitably be devoted to growing the
root. There are, however, many kinds
OF farm produce that will do we'll on
such land. ri
A little study Of the adaptability OF
soils will do much to remedy the evil.
| When a farmer must reise every kind
of produce on one kindSof soil he will
do we'll to eliminate q few crops that
are especially adapted to soil other
than that he has.

ADVANCE In EARN PROHIBITS

Next TO the wage Garner. the class
most benefited by the revival of pros
perity under a republican administration
are the farmers. The general rise in
prices in all agricultural products has
transformed their industry from depress-
ion TO thrift. Experts have estimated
that the products of agriculture last
year were worth billion and half Of
dollars more than any year during the
Cleveland Wilson depression from 1892
TO 1896. This is an average increase of
81 per cent, Live stock in general has
gained in value 3s per cent. and crops
show an increase of 25 per cent The
products of live stock, including meats,
dairy products. etc. have increased 40
percent over the lowest point during the
period mentioned. Horses have in
creased one-third and sheep have about
doubled in value. In value of farm
lands there is decidedly upward tendeny
and sales are far more numerous. as a
res,.,iG of better prices for farm products.
and the number and amount of mort
cages are materially decreased.
A brighter day has dawned for the
farmers Of America and the restless
agriculturalist who in 1896 were prone
to believe in cIee silver as a panacea for
for their ills. are now contented and
happy and confirmed in the belief that
protection and prosperity go hand in
hand and that sound money and conf
dence are the foundation of all indus
trial progress.
