When men are very young they think
they know all about women; when
they reach middle life they confess
they understand only few members OF
the sex. when they attain the full ma
turity of their mental power and have
had a wide experience they give the
problem up and confess that women
are past finding out. An experienced
man is amused II not angered to hear
callow youths boasting about their
knowledge OF women's ways. One
youth in cafe the other night deliver
ed the declaration that no wise man
ever had proposal Of marriage re-
1ected by woman because wise man
could find out what the answer would
be before he put the question. There
are hundred little ways OF finding
out woman's mind" said he, "and
any man OF experience can tell
whether his suit is favored. The pres
sure Of the hand. the tones OF the
voice, little attentions scarcely per-
ceptible but Offering glimpses of the
heart, speedily forgiven, all are signs
by which man may foretell infallibly
whether the answer to his proposal
will be yes or no."
The error of this young solon lay in
the fact that he took reason to guide
him through the labyrinth OF the femi-
nine mind. He was not aware that
women are inclined to be cold toward
the favored but yet unaccepted lover,
and that no matter how infatuated the
girl may be she will rebuke any symp-
tom OF assurance or confidence with
instant and condign punishment. But
she does. this, not because she dislIkes
audacity in a suitor, but because she
deems it unbecoming to surrender
without a contest and it humiIiates
her to have him think that she is an
easy conquest. A girl may fancy a
man and even encourage him, but
when she faces the question and is
compelled to decide whether she will

have him or not many considerations
may affect her choice and make her
wish she had not suffered the affair to
go SO far. Men do not and never will
know women. Women do not know
themselves. The sex is full of contra
dictions. When women is fondest Of
a man she most delights to tease or
torture him. When she dislikes his
very presence she is often most grA-
cious. Women are often called dreams
and, like dreams, they go by con-
traries. Few men ever get really ac-
quainted with woman until they
have married her and lived with her
awhile. She will hold her true self in
the background and recede as he ad-
vances. That Is why many girls who
are popular with men are disliked by
women, who know them better, and
why the favorite of all the women is
sometimes neglected by the men and
permitted to become an old maid.
That, too, is why many men, soon
after marriage. discover that they
have made a grievous mistake. A man
ought not marry a girl in hurry, nor
should he marry one whom he does
not know very well. A man ought to
consider how his inamorata will look
ten years after the wedding. He
should compare her with her mother
and should ask himself: Were she
to become fat, shapeless and middle
aged would love her still?"
Beauty does not last except in rare
cases and the man that marries should
bear in mind that his bride will not
always be pretty and graceful. Let
him look at the wives OF his friends
and then marry-if he dares. II the
sentiment that inspires him is the real
thing, If he is ready to take the bitter
with the sweet, let him marry. by all
means, and be happy forever after
ward. But. il his love is an emotion OF
sudden origin and transient nature let
him beware.-Ch!cago Chronicle.

Not long since we said that we would
not give up trying to grow peas. al
though the louise worked great deal
about us last season, but we hoped
that they might die out or be greatly re-
duced after one or two years preva-
lence. Now we have the report of the
experiment station at Amherst for 1900,
which says Of this pest: LESS has
been heard about this insect than in
1899, though it has caused consider
able loss in several places in the South.
Whether 1t will increase in Importance
during 1901 is at least doubtful" AS
it appears upon clover and some other
plants, as well as upon the pea, to stop
planting peas would not starve them
out. The season probably was not IA
vorable last year to many species of
insects, as a. warm spell started eggs
to Matching early, and it was followed
by cold period that was too severe
for the very young, and probably many
perished. But it is not best to trust
the work entirely to nature when we
can find a way to assist in the good
work of defending our orchards and
plants by spraying or by other MEANS

Corn Planting.

If corn is planted while the ground is
wet and cold, the germ does not start,
or starts only to decay. In this it differs
from the smaller grains, most of which
seem not to require the heat or the air
to promote growth, which are needed
by the corn. These causes operate to
oblige many farmers to replant much
Of their cornfelds, if they attempt to
hasten their work by putting the seed
in the ground too early. A depth Of
two inches is deep enough for putting
seed corn, unless it is planted very late
in a warm and dry soil. For level cul-
ture we would prefer to wait longer,
and then possibly go little deeper, but
while level culture seems to have found
favor in the so-called corn-growing Sec
tions, and is almost a necessity where
the weeder or light harrow is run over
it after the corn is up, it is difficult to
convince the farmer in New England
that he should not hill or ridge it up a
little as he cultivates it.-New England

The red rust which often appears on

If the farmer when he visited the
city saw nothing on the store fronts to
indicate what was for sale within, he
would think the merchants were very
much lacking in business ability. But
If he rides out through the country he
seldom sees anything to tell him who
has a COW or pig, eggs or seed corn to
sell, and he must inquire and hunt
about it if he wants to buy, unless he
has CHANGED to hear before he left
home. 1t would be well for each farmer
to have near the entrance to his
grounds a blackboard on which he
could each week put an announcement
of what he may have to SELL or wishes
to buy. 1t would be likely not only to
help him dispose of his products, but
by bringing more customers, and some
farther away, enable him to obtain bet
ter prices. 1t is cheap and very effec-
tive mode of advertising.

Soaking Corn for Horses.

One who has tried it advises soaking
corn for horses. Have clean pail or
jar, and after each feed put in as much
corn as is intended for the next feed
and cover with cold water. At feed
ing add little salt to this and give it,
then prepare the next. He says he does
this and has no trouble with sore
mouth or teeth from the use of hard,
fiinty corn. But we prefer to have the
corn cracked when we mix it with oats,
or ground fine and the meal put on hay
that has been cut and moistened. We
think it more thoroughly digested by
the latter method. If one is where he
cannot get his corn to mill, the above
hint may be of some value to him,
though we would prefer more than six
hours soaking if we trusted to that en-

Ground Bone as Ferti1iz ,r.


AS fertilizer for certain purposes
ground raw bone deserves high place,
if it is the genuine article, and is very
finely ground. Much of that which is
sold for that purpose is not fine enough,
and not only requires too long to be-
come available, but in some cases never
becomes SO, as it seems to become coat
ed or glazed over so that the acids of
the soil cannot act upon it. The bone
is not adapted for a fertilizer for field
crops, or for general use upon light
soils, but in a strong soil well filed
with vegetable matter it is good for
seeding down to grass, as it's decay In
the soil may require years during all
of which time 1t is feeding the grass
crop. Yet we think we have found
better results from using it around
grape vines and the bush fruits than in
any other way. There is nitrogen
enough SO that when used in the early
spring it will promote a good growth
Of wood and foliage, just enough for
thrifty bush or vine, but not enough
to continue that growth during the fall,
while the phosphoric acid will help to
make growth of fruit and jucier and
better favored fruit than would grow
without it. 1t certainly lacks potash,
and unless upon new soil its effects
would be improved by using about half
the same amount of muriate of potash
with it, which will make the wood stiff
er and more hardy. The amount to use
per acre must depend upon the num-
Der and size of plants, but liberality is
generally the best economy.-American

To Test Crimson Clover Seed.
The termination of crimson clover
seed even when the seed is compara-
lively pure often leaves much to be
desired. The seed deteriorates rapidly
with age. There is, however, sim
pie quality test within the reach of any

certain number of seeds are counted
out and laid upon the flannel, second
fold of which is placed over them.
Then another plate is inverted over
the whole. The seeds are removed and
