HER WEDDiy TOWER, The old red farm h-nne. Carrier's place," was unusually astir 0:1 a cer tain bright October moruinjr. There were no absolute sounds of unwonted occurrences, only a vugruo air of ex pectancy seemed to brood over it. On the opposite side of tlio ro:id lived Philury Curtvin. Sao was bus ily enfrazed in watching the Carter house and washing the breakfast dish es, while she talked with her invalid bister, Rhody Ann. 'Pears to me," said Philury, pausing in her work and gesticulating with herdishcloth in her hand, "'pearj to me as if sothin' unusual litre wad a poin. on to them Carterses. 1 seen the greatest lot o' fixin's a-goiii' in there last two days.

W ith a parting admonition concern in' the pies. Philury started upnti her tour of investigation. "liim ba yo, Mis' Carter?' she ii quired, as she paused before llie kitch en d'or and looked at that lady, who was busy making many and various swoet-sinellinsf cakes. Mrs. Carter looked up and, waving her Hour-covered arm toward a c!iair, tail!: "Set. Philury. I be feelin' fair to midlin'! How's Khody Ann an' yep- sei;:j" "illio ly Ann ain't feelin' very smart.

Slie Philury," said Mrs. Carter, laconically. About when. Mis' Carter?'' "About Sunday. Philury, if nothin' on't prevent n' these cakes is pleasin'. I 'lowed to go 'cross an' bid ye to tho weddin' this afternoon, all of ye Khody Ann, Hastus, Limy.

I'll tell 'cm." said Philury, as she turned to go, I'll tell 'em. an' it's like as not they'll come." And they did, anil most of the neigh bor hood with them. A wedding in the community was ait event of 110 small occurrence. Jt was second only in importance to a funer al. Ky 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon th road in front of the red farm house was full of carriages, hitched to everj uvailable tree and fence post The bride-elect was proud in the possession of a tableful of presents, which were displayed tinder the kitchen window, outsido of which was hitched to ono of tho shutters a year ling calf, the gift of her father. There was a "lly catcher'' of straw from a cousin in King's Hollow, and an album from nti aunt in the same place, a dozen flat irons from Mr llangs. tho storekeeper, and six cans of preserved blackberries from his wife. Philury brought a lamp shads of preen paper muslin and a tic'y from Khody Ann. It wn decorated with doeali'omanias nnd trimmed with pur ple ribbon. Philury had made this aerseif and was very proud of it. Mis' Slimmer, from over tho hill, being a poor widow, brought a yeast cake, which she said was "like to be Uoefid when they kep' their own house, an' yeiist, too, wac better nor salt The groom gave a salt cellar. Mrs. Carter a half dozen yards of rag car pot and a copy of "Grant's Tour of this iVorld." The other gifts were varied in style, extending all tho way from a bronza lamp, sent by a city lady, to a paper of gold hair-pins, giv'.-a by Mrs Carter's hired girl. "Glory Ann's hair, hem' rod. will sort o' set oil them pins," she ex plained to Philury. "Hut 1 don t set no store by his folks."' whispered tho help. 'Why?'' asked Philury, seizing th& speaker's arm eagerly. Well, they ain't got no style about them, nor tl.ey don't wear no mits at leat his ma don't. They stayed 1 1 Sairy lloimeses last, night at trie Hol ler, an" then walked up, I think they was too mean lo ride! An', too, they gave such a present!

"Fact." whispered her compandor., , ns slio flipped away in tho gathering crowd to help the bride. The ceremony progressed well. .

Aa' you, Philetus, kin take your salt an' yminelf ye are both too fresh for me an' go to Glenham, or where re will, for I'll lower to tho Holler or i'll tower none." And Glory Ann arose and passed majestically upstairs, carrying h glass o: cider and "them cakes" with her. After supper. Mr. Carter said, turn ing to his new son-in-law: "Seems to me, Phile. that if ye ain't goiu' to tower none, 'twould bo as well to onhetch the horses an' get ready for niilkin'; it's arter 5." "I 'low to tower to Glenham yet." e tid the groom, as he arose and van ished up the steps in the direction tha bride had disappeared. Slowly the time passed. It was al most dark when Philury, who had outstayed nil tho guests, in order to he!p Mrs. Carter, returned home to impatient Khody Ann, who sat in the kitchen waiting for he. "Well." sho exclaimed. "Philury, where did they towor to, or ain't they lowered ?" "They towered," said Pbitury; then ndded: "You see, it was this way 'long 'bout half-past 5, after Phile had been 'mo-it a half hour with her. a coaxin'. the parson he went up an' ho prayed with her; an' Phile's ina went up an' exhorted her, an' I quoted from tho Piblc to her, an' at last sho said the'd go, as obey in' seemed to bo tho heftiest part o' the marryin'.

"Well, I guess Glory Ann will set off them gilt hair pins, if she ain't so fiery that they molt," murmured Khody Ann. "Well, sho ba skairful," said Thi lury. "She be," echoed Khody Ann.

Terry, ox Ohio, who is an exi eellent farmer, has made his boast that be can, and does, feed his working team on clover hay without grain. Tha bay is cut at the right time and is as good feed as can be made of hay alone.; niter all, the more practical question' is not whether horses cannot do a fair, day's work and keep in good condition without grain, but whether a little train and less clover would not enable the horses to do enough more to make the grain an economical feed. We have, when farming, plowed with horses, without grain, bnt it was slow work,' and we thought then that if a hi.gh priced man worked that team, it, owner, who was onr father, could not ifford not to grain them.

Tulips may remain in the ground several years without taking up, but it is a far better plan to cut the flowers as soon as they begin to fade, which hastens the ripening of the bulbc, and t3 soon as tho leaves begin to turn yel low, take the bulbs up, and put them in some shaded place, where they may remain for a low days. Th,en tako them up and store in a cool, dry place, until the time comes for replanting, which should be early in October. One of the objections to leaving tulips in the ground over summer is, that tho old skin of tho bulbs forms a harbor for insects that sometimes trouble the: ! new bulbs. Tulips grown from seed ! are selfs-that is, of one color-in the cup, crimson, scarlet, purple, white, j or yellow, tho base being generally J white, or nurole.

The clover must have something to feed upon, and this is provided by a liberal dressing of lime, by which tha 1 (unavailable fertility of the land is de jveloped and ninde useful for the crop. Unless the land i exceedingly imrjov- I pshed by wasteful culture, an applica- ' (ion of twenty-five buRhels of air lackcd lime will be Kullieient to bring i fair yield of clover, nnd this plowed inder will add a large quantity of ni trogen nnd orgunic matter to tho soil, "then by giving about 300 pounds to Ihe acre of mixed bnperphosphate and potash suits, a good yield of wheat tuny bo made, and a better crop of lover grown with it than at first, this mowed for hay nnd then planted with some early kind of potatoes will , ield a profitable crop.

The history of agri culture has shown that the original productiveness of farm lands in nil civ ilized countries has buffered, in course of time, n gradual decline. It has boea ascribed to tho reduction iu the arer occupieiby our natural pastures and meadows. This cutting off of the cul tivation of grasses means a gradual re duction of live stock, which in turn causes n falling off in ihe principal home resources of manurinl matter. Ky experiments it has been shown thRt the chief cause of less remunerative crops was duo to a serious fulling oil of the fodder croiis grasses.

Eobertson, Cana- lian Dairy Commissioner. In view of tho great profit secured by swine breeders for their product last season the Professor's experiments are timely. Tho experiments were carried on at the experiment farm located at Ottawa, Ontario. Tho experiments covered Ontario. Tho experiments the following points: First, the dif- ' i'erent amounts of grain required to ) produce ft pound of increaso in live ! weight when fed steamed and warm in one case and raw and cold in another. ; "Second, a record of the comparative quantities of frrain required to pro- Uucc a pound of increase in live weight 1 during the different stages of the feed ; ing period. Tho grain was fed wet in j both instances. There wero twenty- four pic;s in the experiment, sixteen , being Ut rkshiro grades and eight be ! ing Chester 'White grades. Cold water -was afiven t." the pigs to drink in ad ilitiun to the wet feed already mcn- tioned, nnd a mixture of wood ashes and salt was provided for them, to which they had free access. The Fro ' lessor's conclusions aro that thero is no appreciable difference in tho nam i tx r of pounds of grain required to 1 produce a pound of increase of live j weight when fed steamed and warm as j iigainst that fed raw and cold. He also ; ascertained that there is a gradual nv ' trago increase to the quantity of feed consumed for each pound of increase of live weight after the second month of the feeding period and after the av erage live weight exceeds 100 pounds. Ho also states that the largest con- sumption of feed occurred when tho in I rc30 in live weight was smallest. From this he concludes that it is economical to market swine when their weight is 180 to 200 "pounds alive per head. In these experiments tho in crease of live weight per pound re quired 4.14 pounds of a mixture of . pround peas, barley and rye to pro j duce it. American Dairyman. -4 ' l- i EOW LOXO TO MTLS COWS. Ono of tho greatest mistakes whicl (iras ever mado in the management ol milch cows, was to milk them a little over half the year, and allow them to run dry tho other half, writes Albert Pringle, of Canada. There is. little profit in this. A good animal 'should bo fed well and kept producing all, or nearly all, the time. It is probable that, in a state of nature.the cow would oeose to give milk when the time came for the calf to cease to suck. But our domestic animals are not in a state of nature, and they are influenced by sur roundings. The object in view would have something to do in this matter of protracted milking. If the aim is the greatest amount of butter and cheese, .then keep the cow .milking .nearly !! l&&Xttihj.ttM J Ira call, it would, of course, be veil to I free the cow from the milk pail sooner. I The farmer's common sense nnd ob I serration and the stockman's sagacity muBl 00 u uwe, u cvcij.uhc Many farmers make a great mistake, not only in drying np the milch cows to aoon, bnt in the time of calving. The cows are usually timed to calve about the time the cheese factories open. The cows are allowed to dry up 'soon after the cheese factories close in the fall, except, perhaps, one or two of the best, which are milked once a day, P certainly is not the way to make mncn prom omoi tuu m b. The vitality of the cow will certaiulj afford greater results expended in lactation. Dairymen will scarcely have failed to notice that even the new milch cow begins to fail in her milk Boon after service. Of course, ono in variable rule will not do for all cowa and all breeds. Some may not bj ' milked to advantage more than sis j months titer coming in before service. Others may be milked with advantage for a year, others longer. I knew a cow to be milked for sis consecutive years, continuously, with profit. instead Ol Jiuvillir ail lav uuttn i-um in the spring, they ought to be time I to come in at different seasons of th 1 year, so that thero may ba a continu ous suddIv of milk.

A recent traveler in China and Japan notices that in those countries the orange trees are not grown as we si-ow them in our country, by train ing them up to good stems and allow ing them to have large and bushy ieads, but are suffered to grow low, crooked and stumpy like, more like ushes than a trees ucli as ours irDsent. The traveler states that the eaon given for this by the Asiat c ultivators was that it was much more etsy in this way to gather the fruit, iinJ for that reason it was cheaper and more economical to train the trees so than in the form of trees as our orange cultivators do; but 1 his could scarcely be the reason, as j he labor In thosj countries is so ex cessively low hat the extra cost o! i ladder and biskets to gather them rould scarcely be an Hem in the cal culation. We have icrently conn licross seme account ot an experi-ia:-nt by an oiane cultivator in Cali fornia, who a lowed some of his tree lu grow low and bushy, as tbe culti vator might say "straggling," and i:i 1 alongside the other trees trained up as if they were apple tree? in the ordinary manner pf an orange rrove, and to his amazement he llnd Lhat thesj unpruned trees, sudered lo gr.iw in this way, are more than doubly as productive as those which have been subjecte 1 to the pruning necessary to g';vc them an ornament nl character. It is more than likely, therefore, that it was this pruductivt Character rather than the saving o; labor which has led tho Chinese and Japanese to adopt this method a their universal plan of civilization. Median's Monthly. Water Your Horses Often. Feedinsr a liors3 principally 0:1 grain and driving it live hours wi.h out water is like giving a man sa mackerel for dinner and not allowing him to drink before supper time very unsatisfactory for the man. II you know anything about the care of horses and have any sympathy for them, water them as often as they want to drink once an hour if pos sible. By doing this you will not only be merciful to your animals, but you will l e a benefactor to yourself, as they will do more work, look bet ter, and live longer, lf jou are a skeptic aud know more about horses than anyone else, you are positive that the forcgoin' is wrong, because you have had horses die with water inir them too much, and boldly t a that the agitators of frequent water int are fools in your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment and figure out whether the animal would have over Irunk and overchillcd his stomach if it had not bncn allowed to become Dverthlrsty.

It averages twopence a bushel of cleanly picked hops, and the per son who can pick twelve bushels in the day is icckoned a skillful and practiced hand. Women, as one would expect, are better at it than men. They strip a cluster of the cones in the time it takes the inex perienced man to detach three or four coues cn!y. They talk and sing, too, all the while, in a mann?r that is highly irritating to certain of the men. There arc all torts and conditions in the hop garden, so that, while on the ono hand you may hear girls chanting improper music hall catches, you have only to listen with tho nther car to be charmed by tho hymns of Moorly and Sankey and the alvaiion Army. Ihe men, as i nave hinted, work more sdlently and with certain moroseness. It is with them that the customary ttriko ln:- tlates iu the ui.adio of th3 p eking. Either the hops are too small or tho pay is too little the pretext is read ly found. During tne strise in i fjrmer and his family may well bo anxious, but the difficulty soon ar ranges itself, and the men set to again with a few hearty oaths as z relief to their feelings. . Arnon,' the local agricultural hands In the hop garden one often hears very forcible accounts of the ferocity of the pickers, "lhey'd as soon stick a knife Into you as look at vou " is a icm irk that was offtered to me from several of them. Yet If they arc left to themselves and their own way -, in si f.ir a? these do not ' affect the w -ll-beins of their neigh- j bors aud the pro: erty of the farmer, they seem suilicicntly inoffensive.

In the immediate foreground of the ice-floe, near tho water's edge, were shallow pools ot delicate blues, purples, and greens. Of the wealth of color in f.ower, lUhen, and moss of its curious riches as manifested in insect shell, and animal life, and of its wonderful lim ning skill as shown on the great in land ice, ice cap, and glacier, I have neither purpose nor pen to write. This new world of color awaits the one who can truly describe it. In all these color effe ts at the North there lies a wi.ar ;-Iike power of enchant ment j. distinctive uncanniness that, basilisk-line, both attracts and re nels. Great nature's pitiless broods over it with a force and penetration possibly not equaled, and surely not surpassed, in anyotner quaner oi our Klobe. It is a land of beautiful and awesome dreams. The Diamoud Is a Liquid. According to the investiKations Sir 1C. Hall, the eminent scientist, appears lhat were the sensibility the human eve increased so a3 ot it of to tuako it a lew million times more powerful, it would be seen that the diamond atoms, which form the per fect irem when aggregated in suili- cient nivriads. are each in concu- Uon of rapid movement of the most complex description; each molecule would be seen swinging to and fro with the utmost violence among tho I neighboring molecules, and quiennit from the sho 'ks it receives from the 1 vehement encounters with other molecules, which occur millions of times in each second. Pr. Hall ad min that the hardiness and Impene trability so characteristic wouid at lirst sight seem to lerute the suppo sition that it is no more than a clus ter of rapidly moving particles, but the ' well known impenetrability of the gem arises, ho savs, from l he fact that when attempt was made to press a steel point into the stone it fails, because the rapidly-moving molecules of the stone batter the 1 metal with such extraordinary vehe mence that they refuse to adow it to penetrate, or even to mark, the crys talized surface. Again, when glass is cut with a diamond the edge, which seems so hard, is really com posed ot rapidly-moving atoms; the glass which is cut is also merely a mass of moving molecules, and what seems to happen is that as the liamond N p;e 3 1 forward its fev sral particles, by their superior v'gor. irive the little particles of glass out if the way.
