o o : # LEM RODER'S STRIKE. l EM RODER made his strike on the L fifth anniversary of the settlement of Boulder. . 3 In those first five years of its life Boulder had managed to save the sum of $3,800. Boulder naturally wanted to | ‘be thi» county seat of tfe county. of | -Boulder, Ariz., and she had starved and ~stintefl herself for those five yeaTs in | ' orderfto save up enough money to per- | ‘suadefithe county that she had the best | 'seat'{ i capacity anywhere around. :We were pleased, therefore, to call this $3"; 000 our seating fund. . 1 s Jealous persons in our nearest neigh- | bor, ri little town known as “Hell-on-the-Bérder,” about 20 miles away, called ~ this tdoney our corruption fund. i ~ Rodfr wasgchairman and treasurer “of theé’seating committee, and therefore had charge of the fund. -. ' | i Thefchairman and treasurer. was | _about s fine a man as ever came OVer ~ the R6ckies. If he had been a hotel- - keepet he would have been called “that most genial of Bonifices.” = As he was l ‘only a hard-working citizen like the| rest of us, apparently wrapped up body ~ and soul in the success of. Boulder, with an honest,healthy hand-shake and a heart as large as'the Great American’ desert and as-warm in his.impulses, he ] . was’ simply/ in the words -of Tom| _ Gable, “a-decent feliow.” ] | " We ,had the most implicit. faith in . Roderi Ido not know why. Certainly ~ he had never had a chance to prove that “he yvab 'o\'9r-scrupulous about honesty,f but mEn who live inithe open, wayfarers in a strange land, warriors of fortune, iriendi!i'of nature, grow to be like dogs l - and }ig,tle children, and their, instincti becombs so abnormally developed that | they gan pick out a good man.the mor+ | " ment they see him. . Hfowever, I hatve . often %een a dog take a decided fancy for a Bild Sikes; and I have often seen| a dog that wouldn’t come within a mile of a dfcentiman; and then I've seena, child ¥ho would be disgusted with a| clean,fidecent woman, and cry like all| posseshed for the arms of its wre.tched;é dirty, glecrepit nurse.. So thatl do not see, alid have always refused to- see, why Houlder should be blamed for the ~implicjt trust it reposed in Lem Roder. From @all of which, therefore, it is to be| "f‘rrferr,d that ‘Lem-.wasn’t any better than t}ie rest of us, and had his price. The only mistake that Boulder made | was innglacinglL'em’s price too high. | . On the day that Lem Rcder left Boulder the.whole town turned out to see him off,.and rode with him some - five mi‘&s inito the desert in the direc-| tion of, the| nearest railroad station. ¢« Lem whas to take .the train there for| Phoenix, \\'?mre he was to prove our| -~ se tinr{;‘*cugdcity with that $3.000 at so! many dollars per proof.- I have forgot- : teh hofy many men he had to convince, btjt I Emenib“er that each proof was to/| be woith several hundreds of dollars. | 2 Lemgaexpected to be gone about two | iweeks fan'd to return with' Boulder's prospe‘éity in his .inside pocket; for W;ith thie county seat we know we would | . get th§ railroad into our town. We| _.had n(fit a doubt of the success ofsthel “venturé, and so we gave Lem a rousing| sénd-ofi and made a hero of him and a| ~ heroine of his wife, Mrs. Lem,a little bit of a woman with eves that shone like mica in a dark canyon, and a sweetness .like a babbling spring in a:] desert.; ¢ ' ‘ ’ ilrs.lgjem was not strong, and when|| Lem kigsed.her fondly—the big, strong,| hands:?%ne hero and the weak, sickly, beautiful heroine—there were tears in| our eyés, and we meant it when we told, him that ,we’a" look out for her and the boy. 4 = | o . The,{foy was Busfter, four _\'ears‘-old,‘l a gallgnt little chap, who would fight anythiftg his size around, and cry when| his mdiher tock him in her arms and/ hugged Lim a little and looked into his | ~ big brgivn eyes. Buster, you see, hadn’t, ' vlgarne"; what words he should use to 1 ‘tell higim®ther how much he cared for “her, agd so all he could do when the love irg bis heart hurt him too much was togery. : e Mrs. {llem -was something. of a saint 1o all ¢f us. When she and the boy sat down, fh the plaza in the afternoon the sun uyed to shine upon their golden - heads, gand little halos used to dance all arofind them. Mrs. Lem had nursed us when the smallpox came to town via | a confbundeds greaser from Reno, and i'when Buster was taken down with it God Almighty heard some new voices -and’ the recording angel had to look up a glossary to translate the prayers. ‘ . Se that there wasn’t_ much that - wasn’t 'done for her and that boy when 3 - Lem was gone: Mrs. Lem was taken ~down sfic‘k the next day, just from griev_ing, and then we had a chance to pay/ her back. Doc Sloane attended to her night and day. There wasn’t any bill}! - sent ifiéfleit‘her. “T'lljfake if out on tie next invalid,” | ssid bt - . o “If she dies T'll give her the best in ~ the hotfise,” said Tom Gable, the under-/ taker—fand he ‘meant it, for he was a warm-Bearted fellow. T ~ But She prospect of such a horrible; thing ‘ as too much for us,/and the Free-f¢r-All did o great business until .we had washed down the awful fear in "‘OurJ;e’rts. L s ~ Mrs. Lem didn’t die: She was well h]t & weel, and when she and Buster came| out for a walk the desert reechoed our - cheersy and Mrs. Lem hugged Buster, and B E ter was s 6 happy that he cried| ~ for fiv€ minutes, and was only quietéd ~ when e found a big dog bullying a - smallef dog, whereupon he trounced! ~ the big dog unmercifully, - * ~; We had hardly taken our first drink, _ g4n hoyr later, to Mrs. Lem, Buster and | ~ Boulder, when bad news ca into | .t fown. Bad news rode with Jim Trus-| 2 f yJim Truslow’s bronco, and came | _ #itraight to the Free-for-All, where we - Were, 4s usual, congregated. @ ° f?;fifiad .?;pews_a:g Jim strode into the | - room. | Jim had been east for a few - weeks;and we welcomed him cordially, | . for thire wasn't 4 better man in Ari- - zona than the same Jim Truslow. - " e hordly said how-dedo when | Chilagol” we cried, | . “Xedi [ saw him there the day [lett.” SR e e
[Eim.‘ He jumped as if he had been shot, and ran for his life. That night, when I tock the train for the west, I saw him on the rear platform of the train for the east, w_hicxii was just pulling out.” ‘ e | 'There was silence fz%r a .minute. Doubts, hopes, fears—all played hide-land-seek. .- | : | Tom Gable was_the first to find his ‘voice. * | “By-by,” he said. | “What's the matter?”’ asked Truslow. | “Our seating fund,” replied Gableg {“we won’t seat this year.” ' | Then in a few words /Tom told him ‘all about it. - | | The.next thing in order was to deeide -what to do. ‘ - “I suppose we could |telegraph east 'and catch him,” said one. - “And lock him up,” said another. . “For a good rope,” said a third. : - “After all our hard work!” cried the rest. e ]
It was really too bq‘d. To - many towns $3,000 isn’t much, but to Boulder it meant an awful lot of hard work and self-denial. - Put yourself in our places and then blame us if you can for the hard thoughts that would ceme to us. Think of the loss of your money, and worse than that, tl}‘e loss of your dearest ‘hero and your fondest faith in mankind. It wasn’t nice, not a little bit.
An aigry murmur went around. There was lynching in the air that night. It didn’t help improve the atmosphere very much, either. = - ““Humph!” said Doc Sloane, “what’ll Mrs. Lem say—and Buster?” Then a strange thing happened. We were standing at the bar. Our drinks had been poured out, but in the excitement we had {fergotten them. We took our glasses in our hands and looked down into them, and then‘suddenly, right down in the bottoms of the glasses, in the whiskyand water, the pictures of two golden & heads peeped out full and fair, with the sunbeams shining down on them so that the little halos daneced all around. A strange place for t\\‘p golden-h}xired, innocent little heads to be, wasn’t it? - We took our drinks. ; “Weil,” said Jim ' Truslow, ‘they musin’t know, anvhow.” = -
In the east ‘the crowd would 9hgwe said amen. MWe didn’t say it, but we meant it. 1 ‘ :
We felt better diready. ‘ B v ~ “What’s $3,000, anyhow?” said Tom Gable. z: | oo
-We felt ever so much better
“Those fellows in ]:Y)hoenix might have {takken the money: and never given us t}geir voteg, anyhow,” said Dog Sloane. |
We were almost all right again. - “They know me,” said Truslow. “I'll go over and promise them the money and tell 'em how it'is. THhey've been in hard luck themselves, and will see us out.” S L
Why, we were alll happy again. Proseciite Lem? Not| much! - Break that little heart? Not a bit of it! - It was decided that Jimshould start the next day. As to Mrs. Lem, we were to wait a day or so to see what was to be done. 1
A few days later word came fromithe effete east that Lem was'in New York.
A kind friend Wrote to Tom Gable and said that, by-the-way, Lem was-atthe Astor house. Tom wrdte back at once to the friend and told him to keep an eye on Lem. s - ‘No word came direct from the man who had made the strike, however, and as one or two of the women had heard all about Lem’s defalcation we didn’t know at what time some sympathizing female might go to: Mrs. Lem and tell her all about it. Soitwas decided to act at obee i | vi-
Tom Gable wrote to his friend In the east to meet Mrs.. Lem at the Grand Central and take her to her husbhnd, and then he and Doc Sloane galled on her d . . SRR
“Have you heard from Lem?” they asked. . : :
~ “No,” replied she; “have you?”? - ‘“Nes,” said Tom; “he’s gone to New 'York. He has settled our business for ‘us, and he got'into a.faro-game in Phoenix and made a few thousands.” “Indeed!” remarked Mrs. Lem; ‘‘it’s funny he didn’t write to me about it.” “Well.” said Tom, “you see he writes that He’s too busy. He sent me $2OO for you, and you are to pack up and go to him at once.” e o ~Mrs. Lem didn’t see anything wrong about this, or suspect anything wrong. A rattlesnake always ' wonders why evérybody doesn’t know what he means.when he rattles himself, and Mrs. Lem, being good, thought all the worldflv{'as good. s Mrs. Lem took the money. “He wants you to leave here to-mor-row. Doc and I will see you to the railroad, and you’ll be met at the Grand Central by Jim Carroll. You remember him, of course. Lem is too busy. He’s making loads of money.” . § Mrs. Lem and Buster left us the next day. It was a sad day for all of us. We cheered them as they rode off with the last $2OO left in fown. , i When they got to the railroad station Doc Sloane handed Mrs. Lem a letter for her husband. “Give that to Lem when you see him,” said he. “Good-by, ma’am, and Bus{er, take care of your mamma, and if ym’t’re good you’ll be a man before she is.” Mrs. Lem hugged Buster, and Buster cried for the last time in-the territory of Arizona. ik i ‘The train started, and when Mrs. Lem handed over the letter to her husband he read: : “Dear Lem: Never mind what you did. You take care of Mrs. Lem and Buster and love them with all your heart for all of your: life; for if it hadn’t been for them your;g‘te wouldn’t have been worth fourbits’ worth of rope. Yours, TOM GABLE, s ‘‘Undertaker for the town of Boulder, .and for you, too, if we ever hear of your 7 tgeat_ing. Mrs., Lem and Buster any worse than we have treated them.” ! “Well,” said Tom that night, as we stood penniless and sorrowfully treatsiug each other on credit at the Free-for-All, “that’s over and I'm not weeping tears of sorrow.” < ~ The sound of hoofs could be heard, and a moment later Jim Truslow dashed in. ! e ““¥t’s all right, boys,” he cried. “I've promised Heaven, the earth, and the sea under the earth, and Boulder is the >.c,ounty' seat of Boulder county, Ariz.” = ~ Whereupon the town of Boulder, the gounty seat of Boulder county, Ariz., proceeded to so conduct itself that soon.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
International Lesson for November 14, 1897—Paul’s Ministry in Rome= Acts 25:17-31.
[Arranged from Peloubet’'s Notes.] . GOLDEN TEXT.—! am not ashamed ot the Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that beHeveth.—Rom. 1:16, " THE SECTION includes the lesson, the list of Roman Christians in Romans 16:3-15: the references to his captivity in the four Epistles written during the first captivity, and the references to his later life in the three Epistles written during his second captivity. . + TLESSON COMMENT.
Pgul’s Interviews -wlth the Jews.— Vs. 17-29. 17. “After three days:” Probably spent in intercourse with the Roman Christians, i procuring a lodging, and in refreshing himself after his long journey. *“Paul called the chief of the Jews together:” The mnon-Christian Jews, who were numerous in Rome at that-time. Paul’s object was to gain the Jews. Hence he would explain how he came to be a prisoner, so that any prejudice against him might be removed and any false reports might be corrected. - 20. “Have I called for you:” DBetteras in R. V., “did I entreat you to see and speak with me.” This is more in accordance with their respective circumstances.. “Because that for the hope of Israel lam bound with this chain:” It was not because he was opposed to Isreal, as the Jerusalem Jews thought, ‘but because he preached the realization, of their hopes, the glory they had been looking for, the kingdom they had been expecting, that he was a prisoner. 21. “Neither received letters,” nor. messengers. Not that they had never heard of Paul, but nothing concerning his aceusation and trial.
22, “Thissect. . .everywhere. ./. spoken against:” These slanders arose (1) from Paul’s seeming opposition to the Jewish ritual; (2) from the strict morality of the Christians which made bold and open sinners their engemies, especially on. account of the* térrible denunciations of disaster and ruin unless they repented. (See Matt. 24). (3) from their necessary cpposition to some Roman laws and customs; (4) from a misinterpretation of the Lord’s supper, where they were said to ‘“eat the flesh and drink the blood” of Jesus; (5) from a misuse of the fact that they defied one who had been crucified as a malefactor; +“Like God, like people,” they woJld say. . ,
23. “Expounded:” He reasoned out of the Scriptures. “And {festified.” Bore witness from his own experience, in his conyersior, in the revelations CGod had made to him, in the comfort and help he had received, in the improvement of his own life. “Out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets:” These were common ground. All believed them. 24. “And some believed:” The word “believed” is not the usual one im-
plying real faith. It rather means ‘“were convinced.” “And some believed not:” Owing partly to prejudice, and partly to the cost to them if they became Christians. n o
. 25. “They departed; after that Paul had spoken one word;” mnot denouncing, but seeking to persuade them from their own prophet, Isaiah; and to show them that their rejection of his message was no sign that it was not true. ‘“Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias:” Isaiah. These verses do not mean that God did hot want the Jews
to believe and be saved, but that He ' didwant them to, while they themselves _hardened their own hearts and blinded " their own eyes, so that all the love of ‘ God could lot make them feel, any ' more than’a stone, and all the light .of God could not make them see, = .+ - | 8. “Therefore:” For I must preach the Gospel, and if you will nbt hear it, : I must proclaim it to those who will. . “And that they will hear it:” This has become the fact. This salvatioft i'has placed the Gentile nations who received it at the head of the world, in religion, in power, in happiness, in hope. - The Jews might have been in this position, but they would not. ' Paul’s Last Days.— There in no doubt that Paul was released at the close of two years. “Hints in the Epis- | tles and traditions supply all that is ; known or conjectured, respecting this | last stage of the apostle’s ministry. It |is supposed that, on being liberated ‘ (writers do not agree as to the precise ! order), he wvisited again parts of Asia ' Minor and Grqe'ce; went to Crete and founded, or more probably strength- ! ened, the churches there; made his i long-contemplated journey to Spain; | wrote his first Epistle to Timothy and | his Epistle to Titus; afterseveral years |of effective labor was, apprehended ‘ again as a leader of the Christian seet; { was brought a second time as a pris- ' oner of Christ to Rome; ivas tried | there, and condemned ta suffer death. - His Roman citizenship exempted him ! from the ignominy of crucifixion, and hence, according to the universal tra- ' dition, he was beheaded .by the ax of the lictor.”—Hackett. ; PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. - Mark how Paul practiced his own preieepts .of charity (1 Cor. 13) in the kind'y way in which he spoke of those “who had brought so much trouble upon him. o 1 In a wicked world, the best things, if they interfere with wickedness will i be spoken against. We are not to judge any cause to be evil simply because men -speak evil of it. - - God desires all men to be saved, and if any are not saved, it is because they refuse to hearand obey. =
WORTH KNOWING. February, 1866, was in one way the most wonderful mowmth in the world’s history. It had no full moon. January bhad had two full moons and so had March; - but February had none. This remarkable state of things had never happened before since the creation. - A doctor, who has been collecting information about the habits of long-lived persons, finds that a majority of those who attained old age indulged in late hours. Eight out of ten persons over 80 never went to bed till weM into the small hours and did not get up again till late in-the day. : English dairy authorities state that the English cows produce 1,400,000,000 gallons of milk annually, of which 400,! 000,000 are used for making butter and cheese, 605,000,000 as milk for the table, at an average of 16 gallons per inhabitont, and 400,000,000 in fattening calves, &= . o Arend, the German’rider, who won the championship at Glasgow, is the {airest rider ever seen on the track.

THE FARMING WORLD.
COWS FOR THE DAIRY.
How They Are Selected at the Minne‘sota Experiment Station. !
~We must first i determine what we want the animals for, and then select those which are adapted for that particular purpose. At the university we keep a careful @adcount of thé cost of keeping each cow of the herd, with a view of determining ‘the cost of a pound of butter made from the milk of each cow. The cost varied from eight to twelve cents a pound, some animals costing 50 per cent. more than othersin prod:}ging a pound of butter. We divided the herd into' two classes and found that the division that cost the most to produce butier had a tendency to put on flesh more than the others. In order to be doubly sure that our conclusions %ére correct, we made a second test with the same result. Now, why was this? I examined the two classes individually and found that the spare built cow, with a deep body, was the best dairy cow. In both divisions all breeds of cows were represented. What we wanted to find out, if possible, was how to be able to tell, without making a mistake, the animal that would make butter the cheapest. Careful investigation developed the fact that it took one pound of food to maintain 100 pounds of animal weight, so that an animal that " weighed 900 pounds would digest 18 pounds of feed, required nine paunds to support herself and should ‘return the remaining‘nine pounds to her owner. : We must feed the cow just what she needs to maintain and produce the ‘greatest possible amount of milk, select her food for her, for if you turn her ont where she has access to a straw pile or other coarse fodder she will fill her stomach with food that she does not need, and it will occupy the space inthe stomach that should be filled with nutriment to, produce milk. * There is another thing I have noticed, and that is, that in examining Jersey herds we find the animals Are generally advanced in age. Large cows are not as good for the dairy, as they have to carry too much weight, and it has a tendency to wear. them out and they put on beef and break down and wear out.—Prof. P, L. Haecker, in Farm News.
COWS WEAR EARRINGS. . Qneer‘Uk'as_e Issued by the Belgian . Directpr of Agriculture. A cow is the last creature one would expect to see with earrings, yet every cow in Belgium has got to wear them now. The director-general of agriculture has issued a regulation that all animals of the bovine species are to wear earrings as soon as they have attained the age of three months. This is a Hygienic measure, intended to prevent the introduction into Belt

MACADAM -ROADS. A Depth of Twelve Inches Makes an . Excellent Roadbed. Many so-called macadam- roads consist of a few inches of broken stone laid on the surface of the ground without any provision for preventing the stone from spreading under the pressure of loads. There should be made a trench of the width.and depth intended for the road-bed. For light traffie; six inches of stone on a good foundation will answer, but for heavy traffie this is not sufficient. The pressure of a load passing over a compact road spreads out through the body beneath in cone-like form, the apex being at the load on the surface. With a depth of but six inches, the weight at the bottom will be spread out over 36 square inches; if it is nine inches deep, the weight on the foundation will be spread over 81 square inches, ‘and if 12 inches deep, it spreads over 144 square inches. Depth of road-bed means strength. ‘The area of the base sustaining dhe weight of the road increases as the square of the depth. A road 12 inches deep is four times as strong as one six inches deep., —L. A. W. Bulletin. ‘ :
Solid Elements in Milk,
Many persons are surprised to learn that milk, which is liquid, hasa larger proportion of solid elements than have many articles of food. Milk averages 75 per cent. of solid matter, of which 4 considerable part is albumen. It is this which coagulates with heat, and still more when rennet is used. Potatoes are 80 per cent. moisture, though when it is cooked the_ starch in it expands, making it seem much heartier food than it is. The solid of the potato is mainly starch. That of milk is divided between caseine, butter fats eand sugar, the last of which is found in whey, which, even though it be soured, shows by that fact that it has some sugar in it. : ¢
, Making a Butter Market. | Wherever a farmer sets himself to the work of dairying¥he ought also to find some place to sell his butter product to private customers, rather than sell it to dealers, to be worked off with common and inferior stock. There are many in every neighborhood who would gladly contract their supplies of butter if they knew where they could get it of uniform good quality. But to make this butter retailing successful there must be arrangements of silos and grain feeding for the winter dairy, so that good butter can be provided for customers in winter as well as in
: . WINTERING PLANTS. Proper Way of Constructing Cold : - Frames and Hotbeds. It is a very edsy matter to winter the most tender flowering. plants. Most plants do not grow very rapidly, if at all, during winter, and as a consequence do not want a high temperature nor much moisture. . All'that will be necessary is to keep them from freezing. This may be done in the following manner: Dig a trench in a well-drained spot en the south side of any building, about two feet deep, six feet wide and as long as necessary i{p contain the plants. If the trench _ifi) be permanent, wall up with brick to the top or board tightly. The south side should extend eight to ten inches above the ground and the north side about six inches higher, to catch the rays of the sun and shed water. The sash for the top, consisting of one or more pieces according to the length, is fastened with hinges on the north side. All sides should be well banked up with earth to help keep out the cold. Fill to the depth of 20 inches with sawdust or leaves well tramped in and the bed is ready for the plants. ~Place the potted plants in the sawdust or leaves up to the rim of the pot

The frame is left open all day unless the weather is too severe; but.during the cold days and nights it should have some extra covering and during the severe weather may remain covered a week at a time. The greatest care is then needed, for, if the sun is very warm, they need constant ventilation during the day to prevent them from burning. Thus arrangéd, they should thrive - with an outside climate of from 10 to 15 degrees below zero. A hotbed is made with the same frame, but with a different filling. If used for spring plants, vegetables, the very best of fine mold should 'be secured this fall and in. late February operations begun. -Fill to a depth of two feet with fine loose manure well tramped in, stirring it ceecasionally and-adding a little water if it does not heat. In about a week, when the temperature begins to go down below 100 degrees, put in about six inches of light soil and if ngcessary mix in a little:sand. Then plant the seed and keep the temperature as near to 75 or 80 degrees as possible. Water only when the surface becomes dry, but pay constant attention to the airing and temperature.—Alvin Sanders, in Farm and Home.
TREATMENT 'OF COWS.
Kindness to Live Stock Pn.vil in More Ways Than One.
The fact that.dairy cows should be treated kindly and be kept as quiet and contented as possible has been stated and re-stated almost times without number. Its importance is sufficient to justify all the attention which it has received. Not only this, but the ggneral truth which such a statement contains has a far wider application. All domestic animals should: receive kind treatment, and should be kept as comfortable as possible. Whether the animal is kept for work, for breeding purposes, for fattening, or for producing in any other direction, it is certain that the best results can only be obtaiped by treating it kindly. Fear, physical injury or nervous irritation will certainly make the animal less profitable than it otherwise would be. Perhaps the cow is more susceptible to injury from these causes than any of the domestie animals, but they all, even including the pig, will certainly show the effects of harsh treatment. The kind treatment of animals was formerly considered wholly a matter of sentiment, and this side of the matter should still-be regarded. ' Animals should be well treated because'it is right and humane to make them comfortable. But now itis known ‘that cruelty, or even neglect, not only affects the animals umfavorably, but also causes direct financial loss to their owners. Consequently, kindness to the live stock can properly be classed under the head of policy as well as under that of principle. This subject is alwayss timely, but just now, when so many cows are coming fresh, and the fattening season for bullgeks is at hand,-it seems worthy of speclal notice.—Prairie Farmer. s
GARDEN AND ORCHARD.
If a person will once manure an orchard, he will become so interested that pruning and spraying when needed will be almost sure to follow. :
Have you a sick young- tree in the orchard? Grub it eout and plant a new one that is healthy. Fall is a good'iime for that, for if you do not get the job done now .it won’t get done at all. If the black knot appears on the plum ‘tree, it can often be effectually checked by sawing off the knot and painting the wound with linseed oil, to whieh a little carbolic acid is added and encugh oxide of iron to give it color. : . This is the season of the year when the farmer’s wife is happy. The rush of the harvest is over and she can take a little leisure. The anxiety about something to cook has also ceased, as she has plenty at hand; life ripples much more plcasantly than earlier before crops were garnered and vegetables matured. Grapes can be grown almost anywhere, and every farm, garden and village lot should have its vines. Perfection requires high, well-drained, strong soil, well fed. Let the tréllises run north and south;, and be open to the sun. Currants and .gooseberries can be grown.between the rows if land is’ scarce.—Rural World. _
Fertilizer for Flowers. The most satisfactory fertilizer for all kinds of flowers that I have used, says a writer in Vick’'s Magazine, is thoroughly decomposed stable manure, But chemical fertilizers may be used two or three years in succession in theculture of annuals with good results. ‘The best plan of fertilizing the flower bed I have tried is to spade in a fair ‘amount of manure, then sprinkle on the surface a good, plain superphosphate till the soil shows well dusted with it; rake and level the supface and sow the
