rage had teeth in the early days of NeW-Eng-
land, this fact not regarded as sufficient
reason for men declining the duties OF married
life Efforts were made to compel them to as
sumo these duties whether they would not,
and there is on record i'll the old town of East
ham on Cape Cod. a law to this effect:
Every unmarried man in this township shall
kill six backbirds three crows while he re-
mains single; as a penalty for not doing it he
shall not be married until he obey this order
This was indeed the imposing of a double
duty on a man. Bachelors. or Tone men, as
they were sometimes called, were regarded
with a good deal of disfavor. and we know of
one writer referring t. spinsterhood such
curse as nothing could exceed it" In some To-
caIities old maids were called "Fhorhbacks
although the significance of the opprobrious
term has not been discovered. Spinsters were
fortunate to escape with such slight oppro-
brium in an age that could evolve such a title
as Trial of Vengeance for an unsatisfactory
wife Why young fellows best girl should
be called a MISUNDERSTANDING is something
past finding out, but we find a visitor from
England to Boston in the year 1868 writing
home in this fashion of lovers on Boston Com
mon:
ION the south there is small but pleasant
common where the gallants, little before sun
set, walk with IHelI III =
8 o'clock bell rings them home to their respe
tive habitations."
The 'gaIlants' still walk on Boston Common
with their Observation-Disclosures or sweethearts,
but they pay no heed to the > O'Clock pei.
Indeed, it rings no more as warning that II Is
time for all honest folk TO be within their own
respective habitations
More than one wife found her husband to be
a sore trial of vengeance" for one woman in
Connecticut made this serious charge against
her husband in the public prints:
''He cruelty pulled my hair, pinched my flesh.
kicked me out of bed, dragged me by my arms
and heels flung ashes upon me to smother me,
flung water from the well till l had not a dry
thread on me-"
This suggests the story of the young Scotch
wife who met with worse indgnties than
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-12-31

this on the part of her husband for he beat
her almost daily, and when she complained to
an old Scotch woman she got cold consolation in
the calm retort
''Wee weel, lass; one must expect aye some
Thing in the best of husbands"
There We're in the old days. stocks for the
wives of a pronounced "curst and shrewish
tongue but the same stocks sometimes awaited
the man who so far forgot himself to beat
his wife, and there was solemn saying to this
effect:
Cursed be he that parteth man and wife, and
all the people shall say Amen"
Our fOrebears believed heartily in marrying
early and often and it not uncommon for
youths of twenty and maidens of sweet sixteen
to marry, and if either died the bereft one some
times regarded six or eight weeks as long enough
time to go a-sorrowfng' and a second marriage
was sometimes contracted at the end of that
husbands and wives were not trials of ven
geance.' else their relicts would not have made
such haste to again enter the state of matri-
mony. We read of widOwers taking notice"
within a month of their widowhOOd, and no
shame to them as would be the in our day.
Then, as now, there were many happy mar
riages and in the old days divorce and remar-
riage looked upon with degree of dis
favor it would be we'll to emulate in these days
when husbands and wives put each other
away in a fashion that would have been
ago, and who shall say that it is not sinful

CHEEK OF A STOWAWAY.

Most of those fellows he said in his deep,

"Once we discovered a stowaway a few days

"A woman on a tour of inspection paused by
the stowaway as n sat peeling potatoes.

INTERESTING TEST.
Experiments to Prove Relative Value

Experiments in deep and shallow cul-

Der of experiment stations of the coun-

nine-year series "a such experiments
and reports as followsE
For deep cultivation the double SHOW

to depth of four inches or a little
more. For shallow working a swing

ground is stirred Ito depth of an inch

The Groom,s Argument.

The late ex-senator Ransom, of
North Carolina, was in early life ia
nous planter. His plantation was a
model one, and from all over the state
visitors came to inspect it. After the
war he reduced his planting operations
considerably, but he still kept up a
handsome estate. He would often talk

struction period and of the naive
views about salary that the freedmen
of the time held.

man and an unskilled groom. To the
coachman, of course, l paid the larger

it.

Henry more than me, sir?'
Because I answered, Henry is .

but then the work. said the
groom, should come to him good

AROUND THE FARM.

Sheep raising it is said, is fast be-
coming the greatest live stock industry
in the world.
The strawberry plant is something
of an evergreen, its leaves remaining
green throughout the winter.
Every farmer, no matter what crop
he is raising, should find out for him
self the particular kind of fertilizer his
land needs.
The potato has been forced from its
natural functions since the beginning of
its cultivation, until it expends all of
it's energy in the production of tubers.
An apple curiosity comes from New
York. 1t has light yellow skin and
flesh which runs from bright red to a
salmon color. 1t is not large, but is
very good eating.
The finer the soil, the more likely
is the seed sown to be covered from
the sunshine and the quicker will
capillary action be established. Capil-
larry action is necessary to give the seed
water for the development of the
shoot.
Kansas has tame goose 81 years old
which is still hale and hearty. Its gan
der brother died 13 years ago and its
sister goose five years ago. Though her
"loveiy companions" are gone this last
goose is as nimble and sprightly as
those of her kind generations younger.

Where all my prairie sunsets fade,
Gods far white mountains look TO Kim

The solemn light on peak and scaur.

House Your Machines,

Care should be taken of the farm
machinery. Have sheds for all of it..
Many farmers in Lewis county, Mo-,
keep their machinery out year in year
out. The cold, snowy weather Of win
ter and the hot, wet weather of sum-
mer are equally bad. You will find,
after having tried it, says the Farm
and Home, that the implements last
better when kept under cover and well
painted. Bolts should all be frightened
on a machine when put into use, well
oiled and taken out in ship shape. The
same applies to putting 1t away when
it should be cleaned as far as practi-
cable and put in the shed. Each year
wagon wheels should be soaked in
boiled linseed oil, applied when hot
This keeps the tires tight and acts as
a preservative.
