Pete and Barney were a yoke of steers
that Mr. Saxton had broken to work on
the farm. They had driven them some on
the road, but they had never made the
trip to the station. Barney was sometimes
difficult to cateh when you wished to yoke
him, but the boys succeeded in yoking the
cattle, and after they hitched them to the
ox wagon, soon had the forty bushels of
wheat loaded, and Swipes started on his
trip.
The oxen traveled well and had made
about one mile of the distance when all at
once the bow that held the yoke on the
neck of the off -side steer broke and he
stepped out of the harness free to go where
he pleased. When tire steer discovered
tbat he was free he began cropping the
grass which grew by the roadside. Swipes
spoke very kindly to him, calling him pet
names, but as he had been pretty free with
the lash on the road, the steer would not
be coaxed or let Swipes come near, but with
an angry shake of the head 'started toward
home at a lively gait.

Swipes now realized, that this trouble
was brought on by utter carelessness and
lack of proper consideration on his part,
for when yoking the oxen at the barn he
doubted the sufficiency of the bow, but
could not take time, as he thought, to get
the new yoke which had been left in the
cow -shed some distance from the barn.
With the hope of cetohing the fleeing
steer Swipes followed on, leaving the other
ox hitched to the wegon ; but he never
succeeded in catching up with the runaway
until he reached home, after which, with
some difficulty, he drove the ox into the
barn, and secured .him with a rope. He
then went to the shed and got the IleT,
yoke and started back, leading the ox and
carrying the yoke.
On reaching the wagon Swipes found
that the ox he had left there had also con-
cluded to come home, and in trying to turn
square about had broken the wagon tongue
short ole. 1 -lo was now alinoet completely
discouraged, but would not "give up yet.
He yoked the oxen and went to Mr. Jones's.
a few rods up the road, and got the loan
of a wagon. This wagon had ieo box, and
he was compelled to uoload the wheat a,nd

Whet be was ready to start again it was

"1 cannot," replied Mr. Simpson, Prices

So Swipes started back with his wheat,
and without meeeing with any further mis-
hap, reached home sometime after dark,
where his parents, who having heard of
part of his ill luck, were anxiously await-
ing his return. Swipes, pleading fatigue,
soon retired to bod, but little did he sleep
Minato in the night. He was reflecting,

HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
A eiraudgesie Marries Ms Deceased Grand-

However greatly we of the male persua-
sion—girls are not so fortunate—may be
petted or indulged in our earlier years by
that venerable Maine, our affection for
her does not tend in a matrimonial direc-
tien—we do not love her "in that way."
What boy ever promised her that he would
marry her "hen he grew up ?" Yet the
thing has been done ; and the facts of what
is perhaps almost an isolated case are with-
in the writer's own knowledge.
A few years ago there died, in a London
suburb,,p, builder, whom we will call Mr.
Smith, leaving a considerable amount of
property, the whole of which was bequeath-
ed to his widow. She was his second wife
itboat five -and -twenty, good looking, and
of pleasing manner. She had been an old
man's darling; and a widow young and
well-to-do seldom remains a widow for long.
The widow carried on the business after
her husband's death, and as a woman
usually knows little about bricks and mor-
tar, she found it necessary to employ a
man to manage it for her. The manager
was the grandson of old Mr. Smith, and
after a decent interval of mourning had
elapsed proposed to her and was accepted.
Whether either or both knew that a mar-
riage between them, could be no more than
a mere formality owing to their close rela-
tionship, is hardly doubtful. They must
have been fully aware that their union
would be quite illegal. • Be that as it may,
they were married but to avoid ,giving
too great a shook to their neighboure, or
suspecting that their own clergyman might
raise some objsction the wedding took place
in an adjoining parish, where they were not
so well known.
Two sons were the issue of the marriage,
and then a complication of en extraordinse

By the plan shown herewith this trouble le

the top and bottom of the posts ; they are
also grmly oonneoteci together at the center
by bolts or o pikes, Thisplan answers equally
well for ends of fences or the center of a
long line. In the latter case it equalizes
the strain from both directions.
Harvesting and Storing Roots.
The ,first thing to be done hothe harvest-
ing and storing roots, is to cut off their
tops with a sharp hoe, while the roots are
yet in the ground, pulling the tops from
two rows into one. To pull the roots take
a plow—one with an old mold board with
the upper half broken offis best—plow
them out, throwing two rows together into
the space not occupied by the tops. The
few roots that are wholly covered with the
soil may be thrown out with a fork. In
gathering the roots,. use no baskets, but
throw them directly into the wagon, cau-
tioning the loaders to take one root in each
hand, knock them together to jar off the
soil. The load is driven directly to the
cellar, where a chute has been constructed,
about the length of the wagon box and
leading to the Cellar. The advantage of
the chute consists in two or three men
being able to work at unloading at the
same time without being in each other's
way. The chute should be constructed
with a slatted bottom, so that all the Those
dirt will drop' to the ground. This freeing
of the roots from earth is an important
factor in theirkeeping, as they will certain-
ly decay if much earth and litter is left
adhering. To further aid in the cleansing
process, a dry time should be selected for
the work.
The general rule is to harvest roots the
first wee,k in November, though circum-
stances might make a difference of a week
in tete time. It is considered unwise to
leave them out longer, if the weather per-
mits the work. For convenience in feed-
ing and to keep a comparatively high
temperature, the bin is placed in the centre
of the basement of a large barn. The sides
are made by boarding up the studding on
the insfde next he roots, with cheap,
rough lumber. The outside is covered first
with building paper and then with matched
hemlock boards. In very cold seasons, a
a covering of straw will prevent the roots
from becoming frosted. Two or three ven-
tilating tubes should be placed among the
roots. These are cheaply made by nailing
tour six-inch boards together, forming a
tube, boring augur holes in the four sides
at frequent intervals. Stored in this man-
ner, roots may be perfectly preserved until
the middle of May.
Freshets Damaging Hillsides.
The dashiag, tempestuous showers of
summer frequently do much damage by
washing hillsides that are not protected by
a covering of sod. .Elenee it is wise to
allow tillable land sonocated, to be under
the plow no longer than possible, not de-
voting it to continuous grebe or hoed crops
that necessitate leaving the surface barren
a greater portion of the year. I3y care in
plowing and thorough harrowing, it is not
a difficult matter to render a stiff sod suit-
able for a seed bed for any of the spring
grains, and fine enough to sow at the same
tiine, a seeding of timothy and clover.
Upon sod ground the latter should always
be sown with the timothy, as it becomes
more quickly established, and feeds upon
the sod turisedsunder. Being a biennial, by
the time clover has run out, the timothy
is so well established as to—take full pos-
session of,the surface, and he aided in its
growth by the fertility furnished by the
decaying roots, leaves and stems of clove
.
Those who find they are not successful with
spring seeding should replow the sod field ;
harrow at intervals.of one month. At the
proper titre sow to winter wheat or rye,
applying the well -rooted barnyard manure
previous to the last harrowing, or sowing
commercial fertilizers with the grain, at
the same time sowing six quarts of timothy
to the acre. Four quaets of red eester
should be added at the proper 611e ee
following spring. This manageint 1,'t1

Ploughing by Steam.
At the Lowe farm, near Morris, Mani-

has been at work. The plows are ten in
number and are drawn by a traction en-

and as the machine goes along men throw
sheaves of grain on it, the grain comes out
at the sides and the straw is carried for-
ward to feed the fires in the engine. It is
described as a wonderful invention and is
capable of plowing two acres an hour.

The HaPPlest Heart.
Who drives the horses of the sun
Shull lord it but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And ken, the humble way.
Thereat will end the sword of fame;
The dust will hide the crown;

Tune will not tear it down,
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in seine quiet breast,
That found the common daylight sweet,
Anti left to Heaven the rest.
