Clearing Up New Land.

The work Of clearing up new land
or land which has been out Of cuitiva-
ton for some years, calls for atten-
ton at this season. Let what Is done
be well and thoroughly done. Remove
all stumps and stones and do not have
TO plow round these hirdrances to
good work for years. Dig them out
or blow them to pieces with dynamite.
Whilst left in or on the ground they
are not only constant source OF
trouble and cause Of many broken ~
plements. but they are the breeding
places Of insect and fungus pests and
sure means OF spreading weeds and
briers over the land. The stones
should bc hauled away TO repair the
roads on the farm or the adjoining
public road. In this way the labor OF
hauling crops home or to market can
be materially lightened and, the ap-
pearance Of the farm be greatly i'm.
proved. Let all old fences be straight
ened and made good or new ones be
built. In doing this work see that the
fields are so laid out as to fall easily
into a good system Of rotation, and
that provision is made for access to
each field without having to cross
over other fields. Have gates hung at
the entrance to each field so that crops
can ba properly protected. - Southern

HUMoR IN HORSES.
Story of an Animal That Has More
Than Its Share.

Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have sense
of humor. Jimmy is a lively road
horse who has ideas Of his own ard
very original conceptions of What is
amusing. One day the children had
erected small tent on the lawn. and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they were banditti. Jimmy
walked softly up to the side OF the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through convenient slit, says Our
Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-
lowed and, his head once within at the
back of the unsuspicious revelers.
Jimmy gave one tremendous sneeze,
of that kind which is half a snort.
The banditti fell back in every d.
rection aud the horse, withdrawing
from the tent, laughed silently to
himself before going back to his grass
cropping. Jlmmy's favorite amuse-
ment is that of scattering flock of
sheep. When he is feeding with them
in the pasture he suddenly stops eat
ing and then dashes amilg them.
sending them scudding over the hill
side. Then he stands watching them
until they again settle to their nibbling
and after a short luncheon of his own
repeats the pleasing diversion. Al
though this horse Is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world it pleases him ex-
ceedingly to frighten anyone who has
shown timidity in his presence.
Jimmy's two mistresses harness
him without trouble or danger, but
he delights in alarming one girl cousin
who visits at the house. Sundry
idgetings and nervous starts of her
own were enough to show Jimmy Of
what manner and temperament she
was, and he is merciless in taking ad-
vantage of that knowledge. II she
enters the sable where he stands ac-
cepting the harness in the most docile
manner, he opens his mouth, showing
wicked row of teeth, and makes a
feint of swapping at her. She shrieks,
his mistress scolds and reasons with
him. and Jimmy apparently is then re-
pentant.

| cannot understand. fer April is much
more like the beginning of 4 new year
than January. April comes from ape:'io.
10 0pen-the time when the earth
opcns and the grass comes mp and the
flowers bloom and the birds sing. But
the names Of almost everything seem
TO comfort that old ythology. ana
We conform to that old mythology. and
We can't get rid OF it, My great-grand-
father lived and died under that old
calendar when April was the first
month of the year. julius Caesar and
augustus Caesar stuck in two more
months and made the year OF twelve
months of thirty days each. but April
remained in the first month and ought
tG be now.
But whether Christmas be in Decem-
ber or in April, we love the old super
stition5 that cluster around this sea-
son of joy and gladness. l always
thought it pretty idea for man to
be weighed every Christmas or New
Year-to put his acts and deeds in the
balances, the good on one side and the
bad on the other, and let him rise to
heaven or fall below it as the scales
might turn. This is not an orthodox
doctrine, for 1t is said that one bad
deed will outweigh a thousand good
ones. Nevertheless, Belschazar was
weighed, and the scripture abound IN
such figures of speech. 1t will take NIL
racles OF grace to save US, anyhow, and
we must all help one another, for the
uevll Is doing MS best. David commit
ted murder: Solomon worshiped idols;
Cain killed his brother: Jacob cheated
Esau out of his birthright: Noah got
drunk, and Peter denied his Master,
but they all repented and got FORGIVE
ness; and if there is any difference be-
tween folks now and and folks then. l
don't know it. Then let us all love our
Maker and be good to our felloW-men.

an aid and adjunct to the raising OF

seems to be the first improvement in
