An Alarm Clock under the 5ota.
A mother lately requested her daugh
tfi, who is just approaching woman
hood, to give her beau a bint that she
must cot sit up later than 10 o'clock.
This the girl was reluctant to do, tut
ber little brother threatened that unless
she did h would open the parlor dorr
and announce the maternal edict. The
sister supposed that she had put a quiet
us on her brother by reminding him cf
his rlaying boo Key and forging bis
mother's name to excuses from school
to go skating, not forgetting to men
tion the little riding whip bis mamma
kept in her room. All this, however,
was not enough to keep the youth from
getting even with Sis's beau for net
giving bim anything Christmas.
The other evening be got an alarm
clock with a bell as Icud as the gong
on the "Brooklyn Jlrioge" bob and
placed it under the sofa where bis sister
and ber betrothed weie to do their
spooning. The bunds wete pointed at
10. The unsuspecting girl heard tie
tick, but took it to be her lover's Water
bury. He was just tickling ber ear
with a yarn about a horse his papa ws
going to buy when the gong sounded.
Tbere was a pause and then, as thou? h
understanding the meaning, he grabbed

he struck the door stoop, when he Hew.
The boy had iced the steps. The little

Dogs ou the Farm.
Occasionally we may find a dog that
is valuable to the owner, but nine out
ten dogs came more trouble and darc
aare than they are worth. And rp?c
ially on farms where more or less
stock is kept. There are but few dogs
that can be trunt'.ed to drive stock. In
a majority of cases if you attempt to
drive hog?, cattle, sheep or horses with
the dog Euch as is usuallv kept upon the
farm, more damage will be caused and
more extra trouble occasioned than the
dogs are worth. How many times
have you seen a farmer set bis dog cn
slock to drive them out of a plice
where ihey are not wanted, and then
and there be obliged to take double the
trouble it would have been to have
driven them out without the dog and
especially in calling bim off, leaving
out entirely the damage done to the
stock. No stock, whether kept for
breeding or to fatten, can be worried
without more or lew loss. Cows that
axe driven home by a dog that barks at
their heads aud then at their heels, tuns
them over the pasture heating them up
and working them into a high state it
excitement, will nearly always show the
effect of this treatment by giving a has
quantity of mi;k. Fattening cattle tr
bogs lose flesh and breeding stock abort
simply because a dog is allowed to nor
xy them unnecessarily.
Sol All Trofit.
There are some among our readers
who, we fear, think farming an exceed
ingly profitable business, and that any
.one can make money at it. This is a
great mistake, as many have found to
their sorrow. We do not v ish to mis
lead any one by giving results of crops
obtained under peculiarly favorable cir
cumstances. Farming, like every other
calling, has its advantages and its dis
advantages. When properly conducttd,
it will yield a good living, and possib y
aomething moro. Xo one should ex
pect to get rich suddenly in this busi
ness. It is a healthful, and in many
respects independent and pleasant em
ployment. and on worthy the attention
of men of brains. It is not now true, if
it ever was, that every dunce can get a
better living lv farming than by any
other occupation. We do cot wish to
disourage those wbo are thinklog cf
farming for a llfe-wcrk, nor, on tL
other band, are we willing to glorify it
so as to mislead. It is our desire to iro
press upon all our farmer friends the Im
portance of so conducting their business
as to secure the very best results.

Different Made of Potato Cnllorr.
Not ia great many years &eo In wai
tbe practice to punt whole potatoes ia
inch quantities at to form auite a large
pcroentag-e ot tbe expected yield, wbicb
has beea succeeded at tbe present time
by tbe .opposite extreme of planting
single) eyes, leaving ample room be
tween tbe two methods for cultivators
to experiment as to tbe amount of seed
and tbe methods of .cultivation from
wbicb tbe best results may be obtained.
Owing to the short crop of last year,
seed will be blgb, and it will be a good
time to plant whole small potatoes, such
as bave been given to tbe pigs in plenti
ful years, and with many persons they
bave all along been preferred to cut
seeds." Tiaoting Irish and Scotch
grown seeds is unsafe, as those' wbo
bave experimented with tbem general
ly represent then! as unsu'.ted - to our
climate. c-v ' J
j There is a general agreement on rows
about th-ee and a half feet apart, with
bill twelve inches apart in the rows,
and one or two eyes in a bill, while at
the same time occasional trials with
whole seed bave yielded larger crops ;
but so long as cut seed proves satisfac
tory a majority will no donbt continue
its use. It is of no ass to plaut pota
toes on wet, teavy soil ; while tbe
ground should not be excessively rich.
It should be clean, dry and mellow, and
generously fertilized. Where barn yard
manure is nsed, which contains all the
necessary elements. It should be well
rottt-d and decomposed, as in Its green
state it is liable to cause scabby pota
toes ; where this is not plentiful some
reliable) commercial article should take
its place. - Another quite good plan is
to spread tbe barn yard manure and
plough It under, and at planting, drill
the commercial kind moderately in the
roars. This method is practiced in
many sections and by it the tubers get
tbe advantages of both kinds of fertil
izers, first from tbe quicker action of
the highly concentrated one, and later
on from tbat of the barn yard, a mod
erate application of both beibg thought
better than tbe use of either one by It
self. A successful potato grower in Union
ccanfy. New Jersey, says bis practice
for several yean has been to plant only
one eye to a hill, cut from the butts of
large otatoe8, not using tbe other end'
with its more numerous eyes at all. He
puts in the rows COO pounds of some
well known brand of commercial ma
nure to the acre, mixes it with tbe diil
in tbe rows by drawing a chain through
before dropping tbe seed, and using no
other kind. lie bis always bad good
crops, even including the present un
favorable year, and believes be can
profitably use a ton to tbe acre of com
mercial fertilizers whenever tbe aver
age price of potatoes In this section can
be obtained for his crop.
The potato bus tbe habit of degener
ating to a degree tbat has caused tbe
beat and favorite varieties of former
tirwa to become obsolete, so that even
their names are scarcely remembered,
and some of tbe more recent ones, such
as the Peach Blow and Eirly Tlose. are
giving are to newer seeding varieties,
to be themselves displaced hereafter in
the same way. If we were dependent
on tbe tubers alone for the propagation
of tbe potato this would be an alarm
ing fact, but fortunately re bave in tbe
seed tbe ready means of rejuvenating
tbe species, and tbe more than 5O0 new
varieties, many of tbem surpassing tbe
former excellencies of tbe parent stock,
attest tbe success of potato -specialists
in this direction.
In states where tbe crop can be har
vested in May or June, and sometimes
as late as J uly, it is becoming some
what common to raise a second crop by
exposing tbe small potatoes to tbe air
but not to tbe sun for a couple of
weeks or longer, until they become dry
and green in color. Tbeae ara then
planted whole, and are aug in the fall
for seeds tbe next year. This seed has
not tbe same tendency to sprout through
tbe winter from a waim cellar as tbe
fully matured tubers. As tbe small
ones used in tbe summer for tbe second
planting are slow in germinating so soon
atter being dug. they should be started
to spronticg before being planted, by
putting them into barrels set in a cool
place and sprinkling them dally and
covering tbe barrels with a damp cloth
until they sbow signs of germinating,
Flat and bill culture each has its advo
cates ; farmers ara more competent to
determine from their own experiments,
which is best for tbeir own soils tbsn
from any advice that can be given.
For tbe same reason, no particular va
rietles will be recommended for seed,
except to say tbat for tbe main crop se
lect tbe ones that from yonr owa ex
perience and tbat of your neighbors you
know to be well adapted to your soli
and your market. This, however, is
not to be understood as discouraging
any one from testing in a moderate way
tbe new varieties confidently recom
mended by well known specialists, as it
is only in this manner that the best can
find their way Into general use.
Invention ef Telegraph Operators.
It Is a la'.ent signal transmitter called
tbe teleserre. In all former means of
communication of this kind the moment
tbe signal was operated at one stand It
was transmitted to the second or receiv
ing stand. Such was tbe case with tbe
telephone, and telegraph, and push but
ton, and railway aignals, etc. This
made It necessary that tbere should be
some person or instrument at the le
ceivlngiund to receive tbe signals at
the instaut they were operated, or else
tbe sending operator would have to wait

Two Ulrls.
Tbere is a girl, and I love to think of
ber and talk of ber, wbo comes in late
when tbere is company, who wears a
pretty little air of mingled responsibility
and anxiety with her youth, whom the
others seem to depend upon and look to
for many comfortc She is tbe girl who
helps mother.
In ber own home she Is a blepsed
little saint and comforter. She takes
unfinished tasks from the tired stiff
fingers tbat falter at their work ; ber
strong young figure is a staff upon
which tbe gray haired, white-faced
mother leans and is rested. She helps
mother with tbe spring sewing, with
the week's mending, with a cheerful
conversation and congenial compan
ionship that some girls do not think
worth while wasting on only mother.
And when tbere comes a day when she
must bend over the old worn out body
of mother lying unoeedf ul In ber coffin,
her rough bauds folded, ber long dis
quiet merged in rest, something very
sweet will be mingled with her loss, and
tbe girl who helps mother will find a
benediction of peace upon her head and
in her heart.
Tbe girl wbo works God bless ber 1
is another girl whom I know. She is
brave and active. She Is not too proud
to earn ber own living or ashamed to be
caught at her daily task. She is
studione and painstaking and patient.
She smiles at you from behind counter
or desk. There is a memory of her
sewn into each silken gown. She is
like a beautiful mountaineer already
far up the hill, and tbe sight of her
should be a fine inspiration for as all.
It is an honor to know this girl to be
worthy of her regard. Tier hand may
be stained by factory grease or printer's
ink. but it is an honest hand and a
helping hand. It stays misfortune
from many homes ; it is one shield tbat
protects many a forlorn little family
from tbe alsmUouae aud the asylum.

Farm otes.
It has teen demonstrated
farmer can produce animals f
preponderatlne in lean or
a. .
Id' i. .
ferred and the demand is increa. "
carcases tbat excel in lan. i 1
so been accepted that ibe Lrst c-1
es should also cantnia a fair pre
of fat. The -wholt, matter
tbe cost of production, and in cot,
mg the cost not only the food a;v
to the animals but the ultimata t
on tbe soil enter into the q-jesti"
profit or loss. The main point, -jf.
ia the amount of fertility the'wea'.
tbe farm will be passing away.
lean meat sells at a Libber pr;'
market because it is of better qi'
for the table ; but whether the d
ence in price between fat and VnI "
will compensate for the d:ZrTtt
tbe elements required for their pry,5
tlofl depends oq tbe mode of prod.
the meat and tbe manner of proca-i!
the food. It is possible to pu,
greater portion of the food and coa:
it into beef or pork, securing n,,
nure, and thereby realize a fair pi0
but the same may be done in i:oiv.,
animals tbat preponderate in fat.
far as procuring the inateria's froffi
soil is concerned it may be statin..
fat really costs nothing, though tter
an expense incurred in scurir,
tbrouzh tbe labor employed. F; j
derived from the food produced k.
plants, and plants during growth d
rive tbeir fat (carbon) from the
bonic acid and gas of the atmorp1..;,
throush the agency of tiie ieaT
Scientists are agreed tbat carbon .H
not be applied to growing p'anti v
way of the soil and roots. L?an
on the contrary, is composed Iar?ej;
nitrogen (the most expensive eiece
in fertilizers), which must be itocuv
and applied to the boil. Jiutter is k
product also that is really almost ex
lees so far as the soil elements are c,
ceraed ; "but the skim milt take fr;
the soil tbe nitrogen and phos'ik&is
A farm can never be impoverished ti
sellinar butter therefrom, but it can j
reduced in fertility when mi!k is carri
off unless the elements be supplied :
some other form. It may be prfitatA
however, to sell lean meat in preftreia
to fat by securing a higher price for tbs
whole carcass, the additional pilce&di
ed by the lean meat also increasicg tin
price of the far. A etetr weighu.g 1.
pounds so"d at an Increase of onljl
cent per pound will more than psyfo
the cost of the diffrrence due for :L
more valuable elements, acd in Us:
Banner the fertility ot the soil can tt
miintained. Fat, however, is also vi
u ible as a marketable material, and it
therefore will pay the farmer to haw
his animals fat and the meat well ltr.er
persed with lean, so as to combine bo'.i
weight and quality at the least cost.
Leaks About the Farm.
The man urn pife is exposed to tbe
summer and winter rains, and a great
part of its valuable constituents are
lost.
The barn has a poor roof, acd tie
crops are injured after being housed.
The barn is full of holes so that ttt
stock is in an uncomfortable state.
Feeding cattle eat a great deal tut do
uot fatten, while milking cows yxA
only half erhat they should.
Stacking crops which should be shel
tered fn the barn.
Holding crops for better prices, for
getting the loss of interest and tie
losses from shrinkage, mice, insects,
etc
Farming so as to get half a crop,
where a whole crop should have teea ,
produced. Interest and labor on the :
half crop cost just as much as cm i
whole crop.
Cheap hired help.
Farming more acres than can le at
tended to.
Watering the stock in a runnitz
stream, thus losing a large amount of
their droppings.
From wida fence corners grown up
with weeds.
From being too busy to thiLk l-etore
acting.
All money dropped into tbe tii! u!
tbe village tavern.
All money spent for tobacco.
Tbe total loss of the contents of the
privy vault, as is common ou nio:t
farms.
Xot hiring enough to keep the woik
ahead.
Allowing the buildings to go without
paint.
Car Killing lierorethc War.
People who travel nowadays iu Toll
man sleepers and buffet cin can'c
imagine what railroading us-d to be
before tbe war in the west. Now tte
percentage of deaths by accident on rail
roads is very small. Tten a man look
his life in his band when he made
trip on the railroad. The rail then
were known as strap rails, flak pieces ot
iron 8pikei down to tbe woodtn tearts
laid along tbe track. Every now arJ
then a wheel of a car would tear ore
end of a rail loose acd it would riy cp
through the bottom cf the car sad t"ec
smash its way through, killiug anvboJ.r
It struck and breaking the woodwork of
the car all to pieces.
I was an express messenger in
days on a road running between Cn.cia
Bati and Indianapolis. One day cue of
these rails broke through my car, struck
my safe, and then came squirming and
twisting like a snake at me. ltrifJW
dodge ir, but it seemed to bJ a'! over
the car iu a second, and it causbt my
breeches, tearing them clear K cce
leg. It it had struck my body 1 would
have been nailed to the roof bv it, ks 11
went oh out that way. Sometime
tbt-se broken rails threw the train eff
the track, but generally the cars b..w-f J
merrily along over the break, ami ttf
passengers were bo accustomed to le;r.g
shaken up that they didn't know It) at
anything extraordinary bad bupi-i.ei
until some one told them.
