THE FARM. WHEAT SOWING. "This is the fall to sow big crops of wheat, for more than one reason. The ground that has so long been dry, has been thoroughly wet, and in many places has been flooded and enriched by the sediment left on it. A luxuri- ant growth of weeds has covered the ground, which helps to retain the moist- ure better than bare ground through the plowing season. A very wet season following a very dry one is conducive to a good crop, or, vice versa. For good wheat orops," says a writer, "ground seems to need extreme changes occasionally,'to keep up fertility. If the land were all the time at the same stage of moisture, it would become ster- ile and unfruitful ; hence there seems a necessity for extremes, although we are always complaining of the losses by extreme wet or dry. Meadows, clover lands and pastures many times dry or burn out, which necessitates plowing them up and planting in other crops which serves as a rest to the ground. One of the best wheat grow- ers of our country said he was always sure of a good wheat crop when he plowed under a big growth of weeds, and the writer, now an old man, has noted this fact in an experience of nearly forty years; and many of the youngest farmers no doubt are aware of the fact from actual experience. Af- ter plowing don't use a harrow on your ground at all, Drag and roll well, and sow in the ground and not in the moon. There is more in preparing the ground and in the time of sowing than there is in the moon. "The Germans are great wheat grow- ers and most or all of them sow in the moon. But the main point with their success is that they have their ground in first-class order and well fertilized or manured, heuce the, saying that 'a Dutchman will get rich an land that a Hoosier would starve to death on.' No doubt some one will ask why not har- row for wheat. Harrowing weedy ground brings too many of the weeds on top of the ground where they do the least. good. Very weedy ground is not as apt to be hard and cloddy as when there are no weeds turned under. If ground is harrowed up loose before sowing it needs packing after sowing, and this being tae ram evhv,.n..r .'ietgin peehi.t ;.; �,y and xoUtn t iis=woulrt to harrow owl atonvide of dragged and railed ground. Try it and see. Experi- enoe is the way to learn. Another rea- son why harrowing is not best is that where there is sorrel it is a sure way to scatter the roots all over the ground, and wherever a little sprig of a root is dropped it takes root and grows with- out watering. Sorrel is the worst farm pest known and it has come to stay and it will be here when Gabriel blows his trumpet and declares that time shall be no mese. Not all parts of the state are infested with sorrel, and none ever need to want it. The harrow is all right for corn, oats or grass, but not for wheat, or at least such has been my experi- ence, xperience, and to this fact I am sure many others can testify. I know of several good farmers who don't use a harrow for anything except for harrowing after corn has come up. Different kinds of soil may need different ways of culti- vating but in the main the harrow is needed but little in wheat -raising ex- cept that in the spring some wheat might, on tight clay land, be bettered by a light harrowing, and in some sections harrowing and rolling are prac- ticed to good profit. In early times when our fields were covered with stumps and trees, the brush was used to good advantage, and many thought Lt was better than the harrow or drag, and it was much more convenient and less expensive. The time of sowing dif- fers, as some years early sowing is the best. In some, late sowing is best. This is a matter that nobody can foresee al- together. One great advantage in late sowing is that cockle hardly- ever ma- tures in late sowing. While m early or medium sown it is a sure crop. Millers dread cockle in wheat more than they do cheat. And too many farmers neg- lect cleaning seed wheat, naturally con- cluding that it does not pay. It is an old adage that. 'anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well.' Ev- ery farmer should be the owner of a wheat and grass seed cleaner." GIVING COWS REST. "We often see floating about in the dairy papers the advice to manipulate the udders of the heifers in order to develop the milking propensity," says a writer in an exchange. "The advice is sound. Why ? Because in her nat- ural state the cow gives only sufficient milk for her offspring, and her sphere of usefulness is increased just as we make her give an unnatural amount of milk. And the moment we make a cow give an extra pint of milk beyond the amount needed for the calif, we are interfering with nature. Now here comes the question: Where shall we draw the line, and cease to interfere with nature t' Mr. Gould says seven or (eight, or six weeks, and Mr. Linse hacks him up. Then it seems to me that there is something the matter with their cows. I have seen advocated the the- ary that a hen could lay only so many eggs and if she were forced at one time she would pay up for it at another, and die before her time. That is what I want whether it be scow or hen. If by turning my hen loose in the corn house she can eat a barrel of corn, and lay a bushel of eggs, and then die, let her die, far she has done in a day what other hems would take a year to do. And if by training, breeding and feeding I can get my cow to do in ten years what Mr. Groni7d's cow takes twelve years to ac- complish, I am thereby the gainer of two years keep of my cow. Mr. Linse admits that lam right to a certain de- gree. I claim that if I can interfere at all with nature I can go the whole length. I have had oows on this farm that were milked every day of the year for years; others that were dried up and given a period of rest, and as far as I could see there was not only no dis- advantage from perpetual milking, but an absolute advantage.f,;his brings me to the point I wish to ma`aee,,that as these cows that were milked every day were H.R. Jerseys, owing to their breeding they could stand perpetual milking, while perhaps a grade or a scrub could not. If by breeding we can milk up to ten months in the year, why not set our standard for twelve successive months instead of ten 8 I thank this is dairy ?gospel, and when you teach that the 'cow is only capable of ten months' milk you do not give her ==edit for what she can do." THE ART OF MILKING COWS. Milking cows should be practised ac- cording to the following rules: el 1. Weak rapidly, slowness causes loss of cream. 2. Milk thoroughly, to the last drop, becausee the last milk is the best. 3. Milk at the same time every day. 4. Milk crosswise—that is to say, one fore teat on the right and a hind. teat cul the left and vice versa; the milk thus flows mare copiously than by par- aLlel milking 5. Milk with five fingers and not with' index and thumb, a fault too common i with milkers. 6. Do not employ any kind of milking machines. 7, To milk young, restive cows, raise one of the forefeet. Never strike them. 8. Always keep the hands clean, and also the, cow's udder and dairy utensils. 9. During milking avoid distracting Those who neglect any of these rules infallibly lose milk. OVERHEARD IN A RESTAURANT. Was She Capable of Taking Fare of Her- self: "Come on, Johnnie. This is the table to sit at," fell upan my ears the other day as I was hastily swallowing my midday meal, and looking up I saw a middle-aged woman pushing her way toward the table at whi•;h I was site ting, dragging a man; some ten years her senior with her. "I beg your pardon, Matilda," re- monstrated the man in a meek voice, "but the air from this pesky electric fan makes me cough." "No, it don't," returned Matilda, "this is the seat for you, Johnnie: sit down," and "Johnnie" sat down without fur- ther remark. "I'11 order you some pork and beans," continued Matilda, taking up the bill of fare and glancing it over carefully. "I think I would like some. sausage, Matilda," Johnnie suggested, drawing a trembling ,hand over has mouth and glancing longingly at the plate of a neighbor where reposed the coveted' sausage. "No, you don't. I don't Spike eats. It's too. greasy. Pork t thin; beanie axe the best .thing for you.," and Matilda began to Stet order to the waiter While the old man twisted his paper napkin. However, when be heard Iter order a glass of mink for him the worm turned and he said with mare energy than he had displayed before: "I'11 be blamed if Pll stand milk. What I want: is a goad sup of coffee. Can't I have it ?" coaxingly. "No, you can't," was the decided ans- wer; "and to think that you, a profes- sing member, tap should use such words as you do," and Matilda slipped a piece of sugar from the bowl and hid it in her handkerchief. Poor Johnnie said nothing, but a look of rebellion lingered on his face as he silently gulped down the milk and shov- eled in the pork and beans, although it was evident that his indignation was waxing stronger with every mouthful. In the meantime, Matilda eagerly ate a plate of pancakes and enjoyed a piece of apple pie, alt•heugh she would not allow Johnnie to have any, and all the while she was slyly slipping lumps of sugar from the bowl and concealing them in her handkerchief. At last she managed to empty her plate and the sugar bowl and was ready to leave. Turning to her husband, who had not yet finished his lunch, she said sharply: "Ain't you ever going to get through ?" The old man raised his head and turn- ed suddenly : "1 do wish you wouldn't be so bossy, Mat ilda. 1 have to be," was her sharp retort. "You haven't any sense., I'm the one who has to do everything, and thank goodness, I can take care of myself:" As she spoke Matilda gave her head a toss and rising to her feet started for the door, entirely forgetting her hand- kerchief of sugar. This article of fem- inine attire, thus neglected fell to the floor, and a half a pound or more of sugar fell in every direction, attract- ing the attention of the, head waiter, who hurried to the scene. He was not gentle in his remarks and Matilda be- came very much scar?d. When he threatened to call in r, policeman and have her taken to the nation her forti- tude utter forsook her and she began to ery. Suddenly she dried her tears and said with dignity: "You cha'n't insult me in this way. 1 My husband will protect me—won't you, Johnnie?" turning to Johnnie. .A. wicked gleam came into Johnnie's eyes as she made her appeals and a sar- castic smile flickered on his withered lips: No, it's not necessary," he said,gniet- 1y moving away from her detaining hand. "You can take care of yourself." ABOUT THE HOUSE. FARMYARD TRIBULATIONS. The other day, In a farm -yard gay, A lively dispute took place, they say, Between the oow, horse, sheep and the dogA. rooster, turkey, chicken and hog, Tho ass, the ox, and.a small pet fox, A sparrow and frog ,perohed on a log; Ohl what a disputation. Now, what this trouble was all about, By watching the yard, I soon found out; The dog got mad and bit the old cow, The cow kicked awful and raised a row; The sheep said, "Ba -a but this makes the sick, You'd better send i:or the duck real quick;" But the horse said "Neigh, he's but a quack;" The ass was called so the duck staid back; Ohl what a consternation. The rooster ,crowed in such a tough waIt troubled the chicken, she couldn't • The old dumb ox put his life at "steak," And tried very hard the goose's face to break; "His Nibs," the lurk, gobbled up the frog, Old Mr. Sly got foxy with the hog, The old cow croaked as well as the frog, The sparrow sat chirping on a log; "Ohl what tribulations." A PRETTY STOOL. No doubt some one wants to know how an old worn-out chair was made to do duty, as a handsome stool. This chair had had a cane seat in it once, but now there was nothing left but the frame, with a stiff wooden back. The back was sawed away, and the legs were reduced about three inches. Great care must be taken that the same length is sawed from each leg or the stool will not stand evenly. This foun- dation now stood about fifteen inches high. A visit for a.r alias;F,.. , p ena Then a piece of Stretched smoothly 'e tool ana tacked to the - f leg teeir small casters were procured tndserewed one on each leg, so that the stool would roll smoothly like any other piece of furniture. A funvalance of red brocaded denim, reaching from the top of the stool to the floor, was gathered and tacked around the edge of the wooden seat. A round cushion, filled with horse -flair and just the size of the seat was then sewed firmly to it. A shorter valance, only eight inches wide, was box -plaited and tacked on invisible around the top of the stool. This was edged with a red fringe, and was caught up here and there, drapery fashion, with a card and tassel. No one would believe without seeing it, what a very pretty piece of furniture it made. If one wants everything to have some use, wooden boxes may be utilized in a like manner. One such box seen re- cently stood sixteen inches high. Four ousters were screwed on the bottom and a cover with hinges was also put on. It was covered with Ireton in the way described above, end lined inside with the same. Here was a neat and safe receptacle for fiats, wraps or almost anything, besides being quite a pretty addition in the, way of furniture. was now made to the store .7ij'Rott3n chair aest, which A NEW' CROQUETTE. Something had to be made for break- fast, and, knowing that hash was al- ways grumbled at, what was to be done with that good-sized piece of cold beef left from yesterday's dinner and the two cold potatoes? Well, the beef was cut up into small pieces and chopped very fine, the pota- toes were added and also chopped, then some salt, pepper and an egg were stirred into the chopped meat and pota- toes, and enough water was added to make the mixture of such a consistency that it would form nicely into small cakes when rolled. A nig lump of but- ter was placed into a pan and the cakes were puc into it and fried a golden brown. Before they were removed from the pan a small onion was cut up fine 1 nd fried with them, flavoring them slightly. The egg kept the particles of meat together in the cakes, and altogether they were delicious. Not one remark was made by any member of the fam- 1y, and as the platter was bare when removed from the table this new dish evidently was relished. If it must have a name, let it be called croquettes. Cold roast pork, with potatoes, used this vay, is also good. OIL IN PAINT. What Becomes of It when the Paint Has Dried. Oils exposed to the air absorb oxygen freely, and those containing lineolic acid, known as drying oils, of which linseed oil is the type, "thereby hard- en into a solid translucent semi -elastic body, a property of the greatest val- ue in the arts." When oil paint is used the paint after a short time becomes what is called by painters "dry;" that is, the coating will no longer take an impression from the finger. But the change is not due to the evaporation of any volatile liquid, but to the absorp- tion of oxygen from the air. This is I easily proved. If three boards are! painted with white lead paint, and one of them be placed its a vessel contain- ing oxygen, the second in a vessel con - taming air, the firat will "dry" three times faster than either of the others. Thus a quick -drying paint is one that, absorbs oxygen from the air rapidly. Paint "dries" more quickly at a high temperature than at a low one ; that is, oxidation peoceeds more rapidly at 82 degrees Fahrenheit than at 60 de- grees Fahrenheit, and this is why paint- ers vary the amount of "drying off" which they add to their paint, accord- ing to the season of the year.

IAGREED AT LAST. The Seventh Daughter of the Seventh Daughter felt that She Had Been Used Bail. A lawyer w 9 who was engaged in set- tling up the affairs of an estate was somewhat worried over the loss of cer- tain letters and papers. The deceased had been a careless per- son, and lie had mislaid several docu- ments that were of importance to his heirs. Having been called away from this earth on a hasty summons he had not given the lawyer any instructions beforehand. The lawyer had a helpful friend who belived in ciairvoyancy and second sight. This friend. 'went to a. woman who was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, and who could read the stars at sight, and told her of the lawyer's search for the papers. The clairvoyant or fortune teller, or whatever she may have been, went to see the lawyer. The lawyer was skeptical. "I really believe I can find these papers for you," said she. "If you care to employ me I shall at least endeavor to find them. A few weeks ago I found a lost will for a family." You really think you can find these papers ?" I am 'quite sure of it." You go ahead and find them and I'll pay you liberally" "But I must receive every assistance from you and the relatives of the de- parted. I must be taken to his home and put in sympathy with his former surroundings." "Not much. I'll not go to all that trouble. I think you're a fraud."
