Selling Hay.

We have heard of man who thought
he was making money by selling his
grass standing or hiring it cut and sell
ing the hay. He had what is often
called a natural grass farm, moist
enough to insure pretty good crop
every year, when in fair condition. For
many years he had run it as a dairy
farm, keeping considerable stock, and
manuring his fields heavily. At last
old age and a well-earned competence
decided him to leave the farm, and in
stead of renting it out for some one
else to skin off what he had put on the
land, he put it all In grass. Then he
sold grass or hay as seemed best at the
time, and when the fields began to get
thin they were given very liberal
dressing of commercial fertilizer. He
said he received more than the fer
tilizer cost, enough to enable him to lay
up more money than he could when
working the farm. How long he would
be able to do this we do not know, but
we think the soil would soon begin to
show a lack of humus or some other
element of plant food. But if he sue
ceeds according to his plan it will be
by reason of the condition of the soil
when he began, the large applications
of fertilizers would be likely to keep
the condition good for long time. Not
every one could do so well. Exchange.

Buckwheat.

To grow buckwheat for the grain the
land should be made fine and fit for a
seed bed as for other small grains.
Then apply 200 to 400 pounds per acre
of fertilizer rich in potash and phos-
phoric acid, and harrow 1t in well.
This grain likes dry or well-drained
SOL. Sow the seed at almost any time
when convenient from July 1 to July
10. There should be from twenty to
thirty bushels of grain to the acre.
This crop is not thought exhausting to
the soil, and 1t leaves the land in good
condition for sowing or planting next
spring. In sowing buckwheat to plow
under, SOW earlier, in June at least,
and pillow under while in bloom or just
before any seed ripened, then follow
by sowing winter grain.

Renewing an Asparagus Bed.

An old and run out or neglected as
paragus bed can be best improved after
the season for cutting is over, by put
ting on a liberal dressing of manure in
June or July aud blowing it in, not TAX
ing much care to prevent breaking the
roots or to save seeding plants. The
plants are apt to become root bound,
and they will grow all the better for a
little breaking up of the matted roots.
Keep the weeds out all the summer,
and in early spring, or even in Febru-
airy, If the ground is open, put on from
600 pounds to a half ton of good fertil-
izer to the acre. This will push it along
to make a good growth, and it will be
better if it is not cut very freely that
spring or not at all after the first of
June

he replied at once. But you We're sure

She made her answer steadily, but the

nervously. Better not. All that is so

HOW LAWYERS SELECT A JURY.

Some of Them Possess the Faculty of
Misunderstanding in Eminent Degree.
Selecting jury seems to be mat
ter of intuition with some lawyers"
said a prominent member Of the local
bar, land those who are most success
full at it are often unable to give any
reasons. THAT man will be against u.s.
they say, and make their challenges ac-
cordingly, but if you ask for the why's
and wherefores they are nonplussed. 1t
is a most valuable faculty in an attor-
ney. and, boiled down, is, Of course,
nothing more or less than unconscious
deduction from acute observation. One
of the cleverest men in that line l ever
knew in my life was The old lawyer in
whose office | studied. The way the
colonel as we called him, could spot
a case of potential hostility in selecting
jury was next door to miraculous.
Il remember on one occasion he was
representing railroad company in a
damage suit brought by a man who
claimed to have received severe spinal
injuries in an accident. His hurts were
not visible to the eye, but according to
his story he was in continual agony.
One of the jurymen was solemn-look-
ing chap who was in the grocery bust
ness. While the Colonel was question
| ing him he noticed little chain hang
ing out Of his upper vest pocket.
What's attached to that chainY he
asked abruptly. A pocket thermom-
eter, replied the juryman. Without as
| signing any definite reason the Colonel
tried desperately TO get the man off,
| but the Judge passed him.
THE jury gave stiff verdict for the
plaintiff, and it developed that the gro
Ger had been bis chief advocate. I
knew he would oppose US as soon as
| heard about that thermometer, said
the Colonel afterwards at the Office.
ANY grocer who carries pocket Their
mometer is necessarily a hypochon-
driac, and, as our defense was based on
the theory that the plaintiffs injuries
were entirely imaginary, the argument
naturally gave this chap offense. He
had probably heard that sort of talk
applied to himself Did you figure that
out on the spot?' asked. No. he said,
but felt it in my bones. New Or

The mob, several thousand strong,

ported that the mob would march upon

accordingly sent strong re-enforcements

New Jersey has gone fsrther in its
war against weeds and insect pests
than any other State we have heard or
read of. 1t has enacted law that is
to become operative next September,
that aIiowners of lands bordering upon
public highways shall clear them Of
weeds, bushes and briars. If they do
not do so, there shall be a committee
appointed by the town to employ men
to do so, and the cost shall be assessed
to the land owners. This is wise law.
and the example might well be follow
ed by other States. These hedgerows
of weeds and bushes, either inside or
outside of the fence, are of no use ex-
cepting as harbor for insects, fIngous
diseases and weeds to seed adjoining
land, or to be transported along the
highway to fields where they are not
wanted. This cleaning up may cost the
farmers some labor, but theirs will be
the benefit in the end.-American Guilt

President of the State Dairymen's AS

grow COW peas for his dairy cattle.
When the time came TO harvest, the
season was so wet that he saw no OPP
portunity to cure the peas for hay. He
had often heard of the silo, but had
never raised his faith to the point OF in
yesting in one. But with the chance of
a lost crop staring him in the face, he
hurried to town. bought enough lumber
and Immediately built large staye
silo. The COW peas were soon harvest
ed and put in the silo He reports that
he never had cows to do so well before.
He also mixed corn and cow-pea silage
with very satisfactory results. This
year he intends to build two mole silos
and store away an immense acreage of
corn for winter feeding. Mr.. Patterson
now thinks that every progressive
dairy farmer should by all means have
a Silo.
