the supreme court of Ohio in the case of the

which the Bays sold two steamboats, TO the
packet company In 1895. One of the feat
ures of the agreement under which the sale
was made was promise on the part of the
company to pay them $500 year for five
years, providing they did not for that time
engage in business In opposition to the
packet company's boat Hne on the Ohio
river. The amount agreed upon was paid
annually until 1899 and this, the last paw

The generation of agriculturists
doubtless does not fully realize the DIFF
ference between the efficiency Of hand
and machine labor. Here are two com
parisons made by the United States
Bureau Of Labor:
TO produce 100 bushels Of barley 1t
took 01104 hours of labor seventy
years ago; to-day, with the aid Of ma
chinery, it takes 0.04 hours.
To produce 100 bushels Of oats 1t
took 265 hours in 1880; by machinery
1t takes $3.50 hours.
Seventy years ago agriculture was
impossible away from the Atlantic sea
board. Fifty years ago grain was har-
vested with the aid Of the cradle and
threshlng was done with the fail.
Within the last two decades not only
the expense of labor, incidental to crop
growing, has been minimiZed to large
extent but the process Is still going
On. Farming was drudgery 1t Is now
an employment for the Intelligent man.

The Modern Hotbed.

To go without hotbed on the farm
Is to miss many Of the early luxuries
In vegetables which might otherwise be
had. To some the hotDed is a mystery
more or less complicated, as matter
of fact, it Is simple thing, easily
managed and not at all expensive. The
simple hOtbed Is readily made by build
Ing a frame of inch lumber, sloplng 1t
to the front. The usual bed Is twelve
Inches at the rear and six or eight inch
es In front Or 1t may be made higher,
so as not to necessitate the digging OF
a pit for the manure and soil. This Is
a matter Of choice, largely. The bed
may be made the length and width OF
a single sash, or arranged for several
sashes which are usually three by six
In dimensions. If the pit Is dug fill

Trimming the Hedges.

If you have hedges trim them just rs
soon as the winter loosens Its grip and
the snow Is off the bushes. This trim
ming should be just as close to the
old wood as possible; but, in the case
Of evergreens, be sure 20 leave bud
or two of the new wood. If you shear
any closer you will so remove the foli-
age as to leave leafleSs blemlsh
There are no growing buds on these
arborvites and hcmlocks below the
joint that separates last years wood
from that of the previous year. You
may cut as close as you please on de-
clduous hedges, such as hawthorn and
buckthorn, and especially the locust or
gledltschla. If you have bossOming
hedges, such as the TartarIan honey
suckle, you must be careful not to cut
off the blossom buds. Bear in mind
that this first trimming Is the only
trimming of the year for evergreens.
They must not be touched again with
the shears until next spring. Decid-
uous hedges may be cut back two or
three times every reason.

Rack for Fodder.

A plan for a good sheep rack for
shredded fodder, so that stock can feed
at pleasure in the barn yard or out
doors, consists of long, narrow wire
rack, as shown in Fig. /. Set posts
firmly in the ground, six or eight feet
high above ground. The two rows of
posts should be about five feet apart.
The lower frame Is root wide and
on posts one foot above ground. (The
artists made bottom too wide, In the

scantlings, those In the upper frame

around these nails back and forth from

an exceedingly profitable crop, particu-

only for testing in small quantities.

inches of good garden soil, and then

At the ironies of Love?

Since the bitter fates decree

Lip to lip, nor hand in hand
Rove the summer-lilied land,
Still shall faith uplift my soul
High above the depths of dole

Though leagues part us like the sea
Faith in ways that now diverge
In Loves time shall met and merge
Faith that life shall one day seem
Like a paradisial dream!
