In heaven it in "Wel- come, welcome." And. so I see a Chris- tian soul coming down to the river of death, and he steps into the river, and the water comes up to the ankle. He says, "Lord Jesus, is this death" "No," says Christ, "this is not death." And he wades still deeper down into the waters until the flood conies to the knee, and he says, "Lord jesu.t, tell me, is this death" And Christ says, "No, no; this is not death." And he wades still farther down until the wave comes to thee girdle, and • the soul says, "Lord Jesus, is this death?" "No," says Christ, "this is not." And deeper in wades the soul till the billow strikes the lip, and the depart- ing one cries, "Lord Jesus, is this death?" "No," says Christ, "this is not." But when Christ had lifted,this soul on a throne of glory, and all the pomp and joy of heaven came sin:ging to its feet, then Christ said, "This, 0 tran- sported soul, this•is death!" • Is Gibraltar Useless? I . An watch of exceptional interest—evi- dently written by a Spanish military officer --appears in the Memorial de . Artilleria, showing that the extended range of modern artillery bits completely revolutionized theteonditions which have hitherto enabled Gibraltar to protetct its own arsenal and. dockyard and to afford safety for vhssels at anchor under the guns of the fortress. 'When Gibraltar was taken by the Eng- lish in 1704, the greatest range for artil- lery fire was only about 3,000 yards, so that a fleet under the batteries of Gibral- tar was secure against attack from the Spanish coast. It is now pointed out that with a com- paratively email expenditure of money by the Spanish govermnent batteries con- structed in the bay • of Algeciras, upon the ridge of mountains known as the Queen of Spalet's Qhair, would actually command Gibraltar at a distance of 9,000 yards, and would be capable of demol- ishing the ,whole length of the fortifica- • tions from the Galleries to Europa point. These Spanish batteries would also threaten the entry of ships of war to Moles. This plan would merely involve the rommting of sorne 40 beavy guns of from 4.7 inch to 12 ineh caliber and a similar number of howitzers. At the present moment the strategical points on this part of the Spanish boast are entirely unfortified, and with Spain's present embarrassments in Grebe and the Philippines it is not likely, as the Broad Arrow points out that the Madrid gov- ernment will -take immediate action in the matter. But that these batteries may be constructed some day or other is far from improbable; and, iu view of the great iniportance to England of Gibraltar as a naval base and the renewed expendi- ture upon it combined arsenal and dook- yard the subject is beginning to attract the serious attention of naval and mili- tary authorities.—New York Herald. • -t—A handsome brown homing pigeon was captured the other day in Mitchell, by Mr. Yes Salitbury. It had a tag attached to its leg, bearing oniy- the No. 16. When captured the pigeon was quite exhausted, and was floundering in the snow. It took food from the band very greedily when offer- -ed to it, and soon recovered its strength. Where it came from and where it was head- ing for is not known. THE DIVIDING FARMS. Ft:enemy In Applying Geometrical Laws , In Laying Out Fields. The former orthodox way of dividing farms is as follows: The end lies to the toad, with buildings close to the high- way. and -is divided into two nearly equal portions- by a lane running back to the wood lot pasture and water, at the back of the farm. On either side the Jane are nearly square fields of about 25 or 80 rods upon a tilde. It gives easy so- • 13 THE ORTHODOX DIVISION. toss to individual fields, but, according ito an Ohio Farmer correspondent, with- out taking any note whatever of eco- nomical working. • The idea of applying the plain, self demonstrating laws ofo arithmetic and geometry to the plowing and cultivating of fields is a recent one. The correspondent in question gives dia. grams and discusses the losses resulting from failure to reooknize plain geomet- rioal facts in the laying out and cultiva- tion of fields. He writes: - Taillustiate, I give two diagrams. In Fig. 1, A, B, 0, D represent a field 50 rods square, in which the trampled di- agonals are shown as well as furrows. The same lettere in Fig. 2 show a field twice as long and one-half as wide, drawn to the same scale of 82 rods to the inch.. I drew it to this proportion instead of 150 rods -long in order to save space, and thinking, perhaps, the matter might be easier comprehended. In this case the turns in plowing saved would be but one-half, or 600, and the proportion of trampled ground would be more than if the field was one-third nar- rower. In Fig. 2 the letters D, E, F show how there would be a saving in using the disk harrow, which is gener- ally worked in narrow lands to save the annoyanceeand cramping attending the abrupt turning of the team as in drill- ing. Of course I need not tell the intel- ligent reader that by doubling the length e AN ECONOMIoAL DIVISION. of the field one-half the turning is also snood in harrowing, drilling, .cultivat- ing, mowing and reaping. Nine -tenths of the farmers do not seem to realizeomd Practice the truths I am trying to elucidate. If they had, why do they cut up a piece of mowing ground into half days' work, often cut- ting off a chunk the short way of the field and sometimes making more than a thousand unnecessau turns in mow- ing a 20 acre field? And the same is often done in plowing. This has been done over and over again in several 20 acre fields that I pass occasionally in the haying season. Common sense would say.go aroond the whole, but if it must be split up into four Acre jobswhy not do it Iengthwise? The same disregard of mathematical principles is Sverywhere to be seen u fences are removed and farms thrown into one or two lane fields. Instead of taking advantage of startingat the barn and plowing or cultivating 100 rode and book and losiag no time in going to and from barn to field, most farms which I see are farmed on the old checkerboard -principle, and cart pathe are maintained , to reach fields which might have one end abutting upon the highway or -at the barnyard. Rotatoes Trader Glass. The cnIture of potatoes under glass may nun odd to some of our reader's, but it, Is no new thing in England, where a kidney potato of early =tinny is used. We are informed in Dreer's Manual that during the year 1808 a Pennsylvania market gardener succeeded ID growing ordinary potatoes under eau in time to compete with the new pota- toes from the south. These tubers from Indoors were geld for the same price per half peek as he afterward obtained per bushel for NMI grown out of doors. ••••••.•••=giamlifOra..m.= The fruit growing interests of the Hudson flyer Tansy are of inanonis is. portant*.

Appliestles • In the Spring. So far as 1 am informed, publio opin! • ion favors spring application, yet con- • venience leads many, indeed most, of our farmers to apply a material portion ID the fall. In its application many ad- here to th'e old CWHOUI of plowing tinder from live to seven inches, deep. On in- quiry I have found that the majority of our potato growers plow the manure un- der for this crop. Could -all of the con- ditions be corUrnanded the feigners would lean toward surface application of manure in the spring, the manure to be harrowed into, theground as deeply as the best modern 'implements will do it. A few practice winter application, but only to a limited:extent. Occasion- ally a farmer is found who applies on the grass ground in the fall for spring plowing, claiming that a larger crop re- sults from the practice. Thee writes a Rural New Yorker correspondent, •who gives his ownviews and methods as fol- lows: Personal experience and experimental inquiry for several years lead to a pref- erence for spring application of manure and its thorough incorporation with the soil by some form of the Cutaway her- rew. Into tifis conclusion there have entered some theoretical conclusions, drawn, however, after the scales had taught their lesson. I found in plot work in New Hampshire. and Missouri that the total effect of manure, whether plowed under or applied on top, was -about the same, but that the ratio of reed to stem varied by the method of - applying and also varied with the season between the practice of plowing tinder and applying on top. As a whole, how- ever, ,manure worked into the surface gave nre , seed and lege straw than when turned under. When the seed is the end in view, the choice of methods is oblious. For hay and grain for the purpose of the hay the crop is the same, solar as personal researches show, by • either method of application. Whenever the tendency of water is upward, there is a tendency of plant food in a soluble condition in the mune direction. , In regard to , winter application of manure I should still prefer serface ma- nuring for the reason that Percolation of water in the spring is the 'order of nature, and the tendency of manures will, therefore, be downward. The far- ther it has to go the less the ratio that Is likely to go down and out of the moil. Manure applied on the swardwill move downwar , too, yet when turned under 'ID the sp ing will, to a greater degree, be removed from the surface and nearer the point of percolation. It appears to be more subject to loss from the surface by the moving surfed° waters as they run off the field into ravines. My system . of manuring is goierned by business conveniences as well as apparent theo- retical advantages. Crimson Clover In Neer Jersey. Under the auspicee of the New Jersey station have been conducted additional experiments to determine the hardiness of orimsoia clover for the central and northern portions of the state and to test different methods of seeding. In all localities the plant was hardy. "Excel- lent stands were secured when the land was well prepared told tke seed harrow- ed in, though in one case it was seeded • .July 20 and ik the other Sept. 4, 234 months later. Fairoatohes were seemed When seeded in corn and cultivated in. One experiment was an entire failure, probably due quite as much to the foot that the seed was ileft on the soilage as to the unfavorable conditions of vtaktli- er." Spring seeding was tested in lei - len' portions of the state, but resulted in failure whether the seed was sown alone or with oats. Hoot Cutter. The season has arrived when on hun- dreds of farms the crop of beets, turnip', carrots, ete., will begin to be fed out, and on manr of these farms the roots will be prepared for the cattle by labori- ous hand cutting. A root slicer can be bought that will do good work, but the machines 0011NORIO money, and in then times money is • not too abundant . on naost farms. A -homemade cut- ter that will do good and rapid work is described as follows in the New York Trib- une: A franle- work is niade of / • boards,- as shown, ,.;se -- with a handle framed into the ';" /•"••• top and, cross- pieces at each HOMEMADE ROOT CUT— side, • firmly • •TSR. nailedor screwed. Set into the lower edges of the sides are four knives, made from old, stout saw blades, or fashioned bra blacksmith from thin plates of steel.

Go over the slices until they ars • reduced to pieces that cannot posSibly choke an animal. oo• Rural Ilrevitlos. The question of water storage and the preservation of the forest preserves ,of the Adirondacks is again being agitated. Albany county, N. Y., boasts of hav- ing the largest cider mill in the world.
