How to Raise Broom-Corn.
As there are a great many farmers who
intend raising broom-corn this year, they
will do well to observe the following :
The land should be as free as possible
from weeds; the broom-corn while quite
young is so delicate a plant that it is poor
ly fitted for a struggle with weeds. When
the sod is turned over for a crop it is
turned deep, and the surface, just before
planting, is pulverized with a cultivator, or
may have a shallow plowing with a plow
that can be gauged to the proper depth,
and afterwards harrowed. This last oper
ation should be done immediately before
planting, as it is all important that the
seed come in contact with moist, recently
stirred soil. Some people still adhere to
the old method of cultivating in hills; the
only reason for hill culture is, that very
weedy land can be worked both ways; but
thi . is just the kind of land upon which
broom corn should not be sown at all.
Broom corn should be sown in rows,
three and one-half feet being the usual
distance apart. It is usual to run the
rows north and south, in order that the
sun may reach the plants more uniformly.
In planting by hand, the rows are marked
out by a small plow turning a shallow fur
row, and the seed dropped about two
inches apart in a continuous row. The
seed must be covered by the use of a light
harrow drawn lengthwise of the rows ;
once only will be sufficient, unless the soil
is hard and lumpy, which it should not
be ; if necessary to go over with the har
row twice, it should be run in the same
direction as at first. The regular covering
of the seed is of great importance, and in
order that the machine may do it well the
soil must be very fine and mellow. The
seed should never be covered less than
three-fourths of an Inch, or more than an
inch and a half. The time for planting
Indian corn is usually given as the proper
time for broom-corn; but it may with ad
vantage be a little later. Success with
the crop, other things being favorable,
depends upon keeping it free of weeds
while young. Unless these are removed,
from the start, the crop will be a poor one.
Hence not only thorough but immediate
cultivation is required. If the planting
has been so regular that the stalks stand
two or three inches apart, no thinning will
be required ; but if thicker than this the
surplus must he pulled out. As soon as
the head is fully developed (the seeds well
filled, but not ripe) the corn should be
bent over at the top about twelve or four
teen inches below the brush. When the
tops are lopped the brush is cut as it hangs
cutting so as to leave six or eight inches
of stalk below the brush. If a portion of
the leaf is cut with the brash it most be
taken off. As soon as the crop is cut it
should be removed to the dry house or
barn, and the seed removed at once, it
should then be spread out very thin to
dry, and after drying two or three weeks
it can be tied up into bundles when it is
ready for use. To clean a small quantity
of brush a wooden comb, made by sawing
teeth in a plank, will answer. Small
lots may he cleaned by using a long-toothed
curry-comb.
A Cup of Coffee.
To make a cup of good coffee, an essen
tial art is requisite. 'Many women who
pride themselves, and justly, upon their
skill, fail hoe. For early risers and
those who require an early breakfast, there
lB a mode of making coffee so generally
practiced as to be almost universal in this
country, and that is simply to boil the
ground coffee for a few minutes and then
either settle the grounds with cold water
or give them time to settle gradually. This
m)de can be greatly improved by corking
the spout with a cork, cloth or paper, thus
preventing the escape of the steam, which
arises from the boiling coffee. By the
escape of-the steam we lose much of the
aromatic flavor that renders coffee so
palatable. Let those who cook coffee after
this method try our plan, and they will
find a vast improvement. An eminent
chemist recommends the following as a
favorite way of making this now universal
beverage : Three fourths of the coffee
should be boiled and the remaining fourth
infused, after which the whole should be
mixed. By this means both the strength
and flavor are increased. To preserve the
flavor of ground coffee it should be wet
with the syrup of sugar and then covered
with powdered sugar; in this way the
volatile parts of the coffee are prevented
from escaping. As heretofore said coffee,
&ler being roasted, should be kept exclu
ded from the air and kept in a dry place if
not used at once, as it absorbs from the
atmosphere and gradually loses its flavor.
POTATO PLANTING —An item in a
French journal relates to potato planting,
as follows :
'-It appears, as we read in the Untverse,
that to the present day we have never
learned how to plant potatoes. We cut
them in two and put them into deep
trenches and fill in the earth over them.
Now the potato, being originally from
Peru, needs warmth and air. To bury it
in a cold, damp grave of this kind, says M.
Calloigne, is to arrest its flight. Put it
simply on a soil deeply plowed or spaded,
say in 20-inch squares, if the potato is cut,
or in 30-inch squares if uncut,and cover it
lightly with the hoe. It will soon pierce
this slight covering which both shelters
and fertilizes it and can be billed up as
necessary. By following this method; by
preventing sprouting until planting time,
and then plunging it into a lime wash to
destroy morbid principles, we may prevent
the development of the disease, and raise
a crop similar, if not suparior to those seen
before the invasion of the rot say, eight or
nine tons per acre. "—Country Gentleman.
SETTING HENS.-Put a teaspoonful of
sulphur in the neet as soon as hens or
turkeys are set. The heat of the fowls
causes the fumes of the sulphur to pene
trate every part of their bodies, every
louse is killed, and, as all nits are hatched
within ten days, when the mother leaves
the nest with her brood, she is perfectly
free from nits or lice.
IrottO
Waiting.
BY ELIZABETH BOWL
Sitting by the wayside, in all the world alone !
Listening to the footsteps, that pass me, and are
gone,
Sitting by the wayside, a woman gray and old,
Waiting till my master shall call ine tr . .. his full.
Sitting by the wayside, I hear the song of birds,
Calling t each other in their own familiar words,
I envy them their pleasure, for they are glad and
free,
Never sad and weary, nor all alone like me. '
Sitting by the wayside, I hear the old church bell,
Calling saints to worship where Ile delights to
dwell,
I may not go up there, my strength is weakness,
Lord,
Comfort me, dear Saviour, I cannot read thy
word !
Sitting by the wayside, I see my father's hall
Crowded with bright faces, a welcome true to all,
But when the skies were bluest, the darkest shad
ows fell,
Hearts must all learn anguish, alas I know too
well.
Sitting by the wayside, I think of other days'
Of those who now forget we, and live for earthly
praise,
Sitting by the wayside, weary and alone,
I pray God to forgive them, forgive tbem every
one.
Sitting by the wayside, I know the graves arc
near,
Of those who loved me fondly, but had to leave
me here,
The sunbeams smile above them, and there's a
place for me
When I lie down beside them, we all shall gather
ed be.
Sitting by the wayside, a blind and helpless thing
Waiting till the angels their longed-fur message
bring,
Thy sufferings here are ended, thy trials now are
o'er,
Come up and dwell with Jesus! for thou ehalt
weep no more.
Forget and Forgive
We bury our youth, our health and our
strength ; and we only came to grief when
we try to resuscitate the dead and forget the
chain of years that we have forged between
then and now. The long walk, the day's
hunting, the night's dance, the cold bath
and the half hour's swim, the imprudent
food, and the reckless exposure to the sun
and the rain, the wind and the snow—all
these things are among the buried dead of
our impossibilities,and we must accept them
as memorials only, never again to be living
facts. And why not bury the remem
brance of past pains, of past enmities,.of
the quarrel that has been verbally made
up, the offence once offered and since
atoned for ? Some people never bury these
things. They say that they forgive, but
they keep their dead displeasure, as the
dwarfs kept Rosered's pretty body, with a
glass window in the coffin, by which they
oculd look in and watch her whenever they
chose. No; there is no good in that.
coffins with glass windows in them are a
mistake. Let us bury dead things of life
deep in good, honest soil, the place where
they lie shall not be barren or disfigured;
make of each mistake, each sad experience,
a means for future good, until and beauty;
and go on—always on—till we come to
the end, when we ourselves shall be among
the dead and buried, some of us remaining
as beautiful remembrances, ever enshrined
in honor and delight; some of us standing
out in the backward vista, as but sorrowful
mistakes, like blind creatures who have
missed their way; or children of sorrow,
brought up under the hard tutelage of
pain, and never suffered to escape the
hand of that stern teacher, the cruel mon
itor.
Business Morality.
Religion bids men be honest, not because
honesty is the best policy merely ; be truth.
ful, not because lying is unmanly only ; be
temperate, not because intemperate habits
weaken the intellect and impair the vital
energy, and, in short, put you outside of
the pale of society ; but be all these from
one supreme, absorbing motive, the fear
you have of offending a loving God. It
will be the thought of God and of Christ
which will alone make us true to man.
Our religion will not be of that kind which
displays deep emotion in the words of our
lips, and then goes out to drive very large
bargains, if not to steal And what do
some men mean by this business morality.
Surely not that God allows and winks at
some recognized code of signals by which
if one man can overreach another, it is all
fair play. Are the strict commandment s
of God to be admitted into the church,
and an expurgated and revised edition
hung up in the c)unting-room ? Of many
business transactions it may be said :
"Everybody does it ;" but the Christian
man will say, "So do not I, because of the
fear of God." And so, too, will this pow
erful motive, the fear of God, purify into
a bright, honest, cheerful single minded
ness and considerate kindness, the recipro
cal duties of employer and employed The
servant will not reason, "My lord delayeth
his coming; I may do this trifling piece of
commission, and no human eye will detect
me." The landlord will not hardly press
his tenant, though long accepted prece
dents still thurishing around him may
in
vite his imitation. The workman will not
"scimp" his work, or waste the time of his
employer. Why ? "Because of the fear
of God."—Sunday at home.
Fresh and Living Truth.
The gospel is fresh. IL is the bread
and water of life and meets the needs of
the soul. And it can never lose its fresh
ness The more the hungry eat and drink
of it, the more its refreshing power is ap
preciated. The very appetite grows by
that it feeds ou. Christian life is spiritual
development and growth in spiritual ap
preciation.
Hungry souls sometimes try to satisfy
themselves with earthly fare. But like
alone satisfies like ; the spirit needs spirit
ual food. Husks for swine, the bread in
the Father's house fur children. To the
soul the world cursed by sin is a desert ;
the gospel is the oasis in this desert, with
its pure, cool water; fresh flowers and lus
cious fruits
The world needs the living truth to
make it alive. Christians need it that
they may grow. In our pulpits and papers
we want kernels, not hulls. Whoever has
living truth and communicates it in a liv
ing way will meet a deep need of the heart
and will be successful. We move among
tombs and among the unburied. Blessed
is the wise who hears and heeds the living :
"Let the dead bury their dead ; but go
thou and preach the kingdom of God."—
Lutheran Evangelist.

what yotir valuable medicine, Vegefine, has done in Iny .
family. I wish to express my thanks by informing 3ou
of the wonderful cure of my son ; also, to let you know
that Vegetine is the best medicine fur ('hills, Shakes, Fe
ver and ague. My son was sick with measles in 1873,
which left him with Rip Joint disease. My son suffered a
great deal of pain, all of the time, the pain was ea great
he did nothing but cry. The doctors aid not help him a
particle, he could not lift his foot from the floor, be could
not move without crutches. I read your advertisement in
the "Louisville Courier-Journal," that. Vegetine was a great
Blood Purifier and Blood Food. I tried one Isittle, which
was a great benefit. Ile kept on with the medicine, grad
ually gaining. Ile has taken 18 bottles in all, and he is
completely restored to health, walks without crutches or
cane. He is 20 years of age. I have a younger son 15 years
of age, who is subject to Chills. Whenever he feels one
coming on, he comes in, takes a dose of Vegetine and that
is the last of the Chill. Vegetine leaves no bad effect upon
the system like of most the medicines recommended for
Chang. I cheerfully recommend Vegetine for such corn
plaints. I think it is the greatest medicine in the world.
Respectfully, MRS. J. W. LLOYD.
