Life is too abort and full of care and sorrows for one to be the cause of adding one feather's weight of trou- ble to nnother's load. Will Carleton, the poet, in the "First Settler's Story," we believe it was, makes the old man say, in spcnking of his wife, that she used to stand around and boss the job, and by her kind words lifted whole tons. Kind words hive the name ef- fect the world over. They lift a fel- low nut of the slough of despond; they break the stiffened, setfeatures of the worried into a pleasant, hopeful smile. And how much better it is to cultivate the habit of treating everyone as though n lime would come when .we should lay down the mortnl form; and that to leave behind a chnrnder and reputation of fairness, truth, and hon- or is the most enduring of riches. Slung end baseball talk are -he near- est some people ever come to speaking the English language, Some men tiro Ihemselves almost to depth in Trying to avoid the tire brought on by Inbor.

CLOVER ON NEW LAND. tinder old systems of clearing land when the country was new, there Was great temptation to keep as much of it cropped as possible, because there was then very little land besides that could be cultivated. Now, %then on a large farm a piece of woodland is clear- ed, the fernier wants to have it seed- ed with grass as quickly an possible, so that it can be pastured. 13u1 the poles sud keeps :lir frout tie., slump routs and !hue keeps them frust rot- ting quickly, so th it it I ekes a good tunny years before the stumps are ready for removal, Resides, where the field is plowed every two or three year's each 1 itue the lend is plow-ei SUMP part of the roots will be loosened or bruk en off, and Ibe reuivoal of these leaves a vacant place in the soil, which, of course is filled with air, which hastens the decay of what parts of the root end slump are left. Besides this, n grass sod pastured down keeps the soil heavy when it should he light, and as this les- sens the crop that may be expected from the land, it is a decided encour- agement to plowing it. Just here is where the advantage of seeding with clover conies in. It would be better if new land were seeded only with clov- er. This keeps the soil porous down to the depth of the clover roots, and as they are all the time giving off car- bonic acid gas, it makes stump routs rot more quickly when in auntaol with clover roots then when the surface on- ly is covered with grass roots and there are none in contact with parts of the decaying stump. Besides, if the clover is sown with lend plaster, it will hold all through the summer a great am- ount of dew, and this will also help keep the stumps moist. \Ve well re- member once when a newly cleared stump lot wan seeded with clover see- ing many stumps that were partly de- cayed on the outside, and strong clover plants growing up against them and extending tbeir roots among the de- caying woad. Sometimes one or more clover seeds will fall into the hollow slupms end take root in the sediment that is always found at their bottom. fn such cases we always noticed That the stump decayed very quickly. If we wanted to rot a sound stamp as soon as potsihie, we should du it by pulling oil of vitrol on its top until it hid eaten out n hollow, and then fill this with rich soil and put one or more clov- er seeds in it to grow. If we had depth enough of soil to hold the rainfall, we. have no doubt that these clover plants would soon begin to eat into the stump and hasten its decomposi- tion. After two or three clops of clov- er hive been grown, most of the stumps of beech, maple and the softer woods will be rotted enough so that They can be profitably lifted out by machinery made for this purpose. It is because we believe in clearing away the stumps early, while the soil is full of vege- table matter, that we recommend fre- quent seeding with clover rather than with grass. It is an important mat- ter to have new land freed from its stumps while it is capable of grow- ing large crops, instead of leaving the stumps to slowly rot out, and the soil in the meantime becoming partly ex- heusted, so that almost from the first, measures have to be used. Possibly our cleared lands are less rich then -they used to be becnuss, under present con- ditions. all parts of the trees find some use, end none of them have to he burn- ed on the land as refuse. But if the newly cleared land is kept seeded with clover, it will probably be as rich by the time the stumps :ire off as it used to be under the old system, when it had, at the first, nn excess of potash. That probably hastened the decomposi- tion of the vegetable matter In the soil, without at all hastening, but rath- er retarding, the rotting of stumps and their roots. HEAVES AND INDIGESTION. There is no radical cure for the heaves which is really broken wind from struc- tural changes in the air cells of the lungs, but indigestion is often combin- ed with heaves. Every disease has a be- ginning, so when a horse is getting " heavey " he becomes much more so when bitched up directly after hrenk- fast on a full stomach, When this is repeated day after day, indigestion de- velops, and especially so when the food is coarse as well as unsuitable. Horses affected should be fed sparingly on the best kind of food—i.e., sound, clean oats, good, coarse, whole wheat. bran and fine upland meadow hay cha:f, which should be free from dust, damp- ened and sprinkled over with table salt. Once or twice`a week a mash should be made of the feed and n pint of flax- seed meal added to it. This will soft- en the contents of the bowels and tend to prevent indigestion before it be- comes chronic as well as the heaves. Watering is another item to be at- tended to in these troubles. Water should be given, half an hour before feeding, never on top breakfast, dinner or supper. When you do this you wash the food out of the stomach before the gastric juices have prepared it for the first process of digestion. This pro- duces indigestion. Affected horses should not he allowed loose hay only hay chaff of fine quality mixed with bran and oats and given dampened. This diet will lessen the heaves in vol- ume and the horse will go gently along without great distress. By proper care in feeding and watering,' horses have so far improved that people have asserted that they were cured of the heaves, and when a sharp doctor has given some cure -nil powders it has been thought that these powders had effect- ed the cure. Any farmer, however, can think it out for himself, and see that there is no place for powders or me- dicine to gelin and do good in such strueturnl changes, It should he not- ed that heaves is the sequel of a had cold ; therefore, when young horses are sick they should have the hest atten- tion, so RS to prevenh the development of this trouble, WATERING TREES AT TRANS- PLANTING. . A correspondent says:—" I have planted, perhaps, a million of trees in my lifetime. 1 met with hut, few fail- ures, and cannotremember, having wa- tered nny of these trees. If the soil is made thoroughly fine before plant- ing; if the soil aboutthe roots is press- ed in very firm, as firm ns a fence post ; if the soil is left loose on the top, and kept continually loose by elal- I Nation, I he frees will live even though the Benson may be dry." In connection with thin paragraph, it may he noted thnt, on one 'occasion within the experience of the writer, a large number of trees that had been planted in the spring, and had grown tolerab- ly well, showed signs during the fol- lowing very dry summer of wilting their leaves for want of watet An ex- tlnillati0n seemed to show hat al- though the trees had leen well plant- ed in the common aoeeutaliun of Yale term, yet the earth in many cases was notpacked closely around the roots. It was flit convenient to water theta The owner was recon mended to pound he earth ati,und the trees with u heavy paving rammer. This was dune. It is almost impossible to convey an idea of the force used on this occasion. 1 force was exerted fully equal to that employed by the regular rummers in paving the streets. The earth being verya. dry was redoes? to fine powder by thi:, process, and moisture was drawn upward by capillary attraction In a couple of days afterward, them' \t (5 Dat Ilse slightest sign of wilting. aIlh,u:;h nig ‘t tiler had Leen applied trig IL tv e minute! lu grow without any evidence of suffering for wan of water until the next rain came, Had Iho soil net heen heavily beaten in this way their death would have been ab- solutely certain.

A damp wet stable causes rheuma- tism in cows. Lack of ventilation and sunlight lowers their vitality, and Mikes them resemble children who are never nllow-ed to breathe the pure air or to piny in the sunlight.

MADE IIIISELF A MACHINE IelTERESTING SKETCH OF LORD KITCHENER OF KHARTOUM. A Pen Piet vire of the Piero of the tonality runlet raying Ilia d'Iae-anti•-Ills Life, Ills Methods, 111s Ambition. In the London Daily Mail Mr. G. W. Stevens thus describes the Sirdar:— 'Major-General Sir Horatio Herbert Kitchener, is 48 years old, by the book. He stands several inches over six feet, straight as a lance, and looks out im- periously above most men's heads; his motions are deliberate and strong; sten- ' der, but firmly knit, be seems built for tireless, steel -wire endurance, rather than for power or agility; that also is irrelevant. Steady, passionless eyes, shaded by decisive brows, Krick -red, rather full cheeks, a long moustache, beneath which you divine an immovable mouth; his face is harsh, and neither appeals for affection nor stirs dislike. He lees no age but the prime of life, no body but one to carry his mind, no face but one Lo keep his brain behind. The brain and the will are the essence of the whole man—a brain perfect and a will so perfect in their workings that, in the face of extremes( difficulty, they never seem to know what strug- gle is. You cannot imagene the Sirda+t otherwise than as seeing the right thing to do and doing i1. His preci- sion is so inhumanly unerring, he is more like a machine than a man. (MASTER OF THE ART. He has turned himself to the man- agement of war in the Soudan, and be is the complete and the only master of that art. Beginning life in the Royal Engineers—a soil reputed more favourable to machinery than to human nature—he early turned to the study of the Levant. He was one of Beaconsfield's military vice-consuls in Asia Minor; he was subsequently direc- tor of the Palestine Exploration Fund. After that he surveyed Cyprus, whence he escaped—some whisper, without leave—to see the Bombardment of Alex- ondria. At. the beginning of the Soudan trou- bles he appeared. He was one of the original twenty-five officers who set to work on the new Egyptian army. And in Egypt and the Soudan he bus heen ever since—on I he staff generally fight- ing often, living with natives some- times, mastering the problem of the Soudan always. The ripe harvest of fifteen years is that he knows every- thing that is to be learned of his sub- ject. He hits seen end profited by the errors of others as by Their successes. He has Inherited the wisdom and the achievements of his predecessors. He carne at. the right hour, and he was the right man.' During the summer of 1887 he was at Ko1osko, negotiating wit.h the Abadeh sheikhs in view of an'IId- vance across the desert to Abu Hamed, and note how characteristically be has now himself bettered the then aban- doned project by going that way to Berber and Khartoum hirnself— ONLY WITH A RAILWAY! The idea of the advance across the desert he took over from Lord Wolse- ley, and indeed from the. immemorial Arabs; and then from his own stroke of insight and resotution, amounting 10 genius, he turned a raid into an ire resistible certain conquest by super - 2 -siding camels with the railway. Others had thought of the desert route; the Sirdar, connecting Korosko to Haifa, used it. Others had projected desert railways; the Sirdar made one. That, summarized in one instance, is the working of the Soudan machine. in 1887 and 188e he commanded Sun - kin, and it is remarkable that his most importnnt enterprise was hnlf a failure, He attacked Osman Digna at Handub, when most of the Emir's men were away raiding; and although he succeeded in releasing a number of captives, he thought it well to retire himself wounded in the face by a bul- let, without any decisive success. The withdrawal was in no way dis- creditable, for his force was n jumble of irregulars rind levies without disci- pline. 13at it Is not perhaps fnnciful to believe that the Sirdar, who has never given battle without making cer- tain of an annihilating victory, has not forgotten his experience of hap- hazard Bashi-Bazouking at Handub. MEANT TO BE SIRDAR. He bad his revenge before the end of 1888, when he led a brigade of Soudan ase over Osman's trenches at Gemai- zeh. 1n 1890 he succeeded Sir Francis Grenfell as Sirdar. That he meant to he Sirdar in fuel as well as name he showed immediately. The young Khe- dite travelled south to the frontier, ,and took the occasion to insult every liritish officer he came acro8s. Kit- chener promptly gave battle; he re- signed, a crisis carne, and the Khedive was obliged to do public pen:utee, by issuing a general urder in praise of he discipline of the 'army and of its British officers, Two years later he began the re- eunyuest of the Soudan. Without a single throw -back the work has gone forward :,tare—bot not without inter- vals. The Sirdar is never in a hurry. With immovable self-control he ]colds hack front each step unt it the ground is oonsolidaled under the las;. The real fighting power of I he Sou - den lies in 1 country itself,—in its hrrrenness, whii.h refuses food, mi its V;1141rienS. \thirh paralyzes lratnsporl, The Soudan nrtrhine obviates barren- ness and east nese i the la yam., eclien has piled the hank with supplies, or the steamer ;melon can run with a full Nile.

In the meant ime, during all the years of preparation and at hievenient, the man has disappeared. The roan, Herbert Kitchener, owned the affection of pri- vate friends in England and of old comrades of fifteen years' standing; for the rest of the world, there is no man Herbert Kitchener, but only the Sirdar, neither ;inking affection nor giving it. His officers and men al•e wnee;s in the machine; he feeds them enot'gh to make them efficient, and works them as mereileesly as be wttks himself. He will have no married uitfc'ers in his army; marriage interferes with work. Any officer who breaks down with the climate goes on sick leave once; next time he goes and the Egyptian army hears hire on its strength no more. And if you suppose, therefore, that the Sird•tr is unpopular, he is not'. No general is unpopular who always beats the enemy, \When the columns move out of camp in the evening to march all it through the dark, they know sol whither, and fight at dawn with an enemy they have never seen, every man goes forth with a tranquil mind. He may personally come back and he maty not ; but about. the general result there is not a doubt. You bet your book the Sirdar knows, he wouldn't fight if he weren't going to win, Other generals have been loved; none was ever better trusted. For of this one human weakness the Sirdar is believed not to have purged himself—ambition. He is on his pro- motion, a Ivan who cannot afford to make a. mistake, Flomilies against ambition may be left to those who have failed in their own; the Sirdar's, if apparently purely personal, is legi- timate and even lofty. He has attained eminent distinction at an exceptionally early age: be has commanded victorious armies at an early age when most Hien are hoping to continent! regiments. Even now ,junior Major-General, he h7s heen-entrusted will' an army of six brigades, a command such as few of his seniors have ever led in the field. HE WILL NOT FALL.' h'ina, hw n missiollyn such hehas as almost een everyentrusted oneith of them would have greedily accepted— the crowning triumph.of half a gener- ation at war.

He has climbed too high not to take every precaution against a fall. But he will not fall—just. yet, at any rate, So far as Egypt is concerned, he is the mon of destiny—the man who has heen preparing himself sixteen years for one great purpose. For Anglo- Ehe Msdd, the gypt man whois hasthe sifteandi, experiencetheexpecteand corrected error; who has worked at small things and waited for great, mar- ble to sit still and fire to smite; stead- fast, cold, and inflexible; the man who has cut out his human heart and made himself a machine to re -take Khar- t cum.

But so many times pneumonia is not ' cured that prevention becomes the natural act of that instinct of self- preservation which is "the first law of nature." Pneumonia can be pre- vented and is often cured by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "Some year ago I bad a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. I could neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as as well and sound as before the attack. I have recommended it In many cases of pneu- monia since, and have never known it to fail in effecting a cure" JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La. "I was attacked with a cold that settled on my lungs, and defied the skill of my phy Moine so that they considered me incurable. At last I began to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and was entirely cured after having taken two bottles." FRANCISCO A. SEVERIANO, Taunton, Maas. Ayes meg Pecioral Free medical advice to all.

Diseases of the heart are by far the most treacherous of ailments which afflict humanity—ruthless to old and young alike—not insidious but violent, for when the heart fails the whole system suffers violence.
