\ Ilodel Farm.
A writer gives the following as his
method of managing his 100 acre farm;
“My farm contains about 100 acres of
farming land, most of which is limestone
Boil, the balance sandy loam. I have it
fenced in four equal tracts, nearly as pos¬
sible. For convenience, at the corner
where they all join I have a good well,
arranged to furnish stock water for each
field. I manage to keep fifty acres in
cultivation, fifty in clover, each year as
follows; twenty-five in corn, twenty-five
in wheat. When the corn is cut off I
seed this field to wheat, and the follow
ing spring to clover, I aim to take a
crop of corn, then a crop of wheat, then
back to clover in two years, and I find
this as long as clover should stand to be
profitable. By this method I manage to
keep the land iu a high state of cultiva
tion without the use of commercial for
tilizers.
“I raise stock enough to eat up all the
surplus corn, hay, etc. I stack the straw
and feed around the stack. Toward
spring I throw^t down, so tlie stock can
train]) it down. In this condition it
rots much faster, and is ready to haul
out sooner. 1 his manuie 1 spread in
the poorest places when 1 have leisure
and it is gooil hauling. By doing this
1 keep nearly everything on the farm ex¬
cept the surplus wheat, which I market
is soon as thrashed, while it is in the
sack . This saves a large per cent, 0n
shrin! go, beside extra handling, and
you have the use of your money. Auy
field I have will bring a good crop. 1
tlways have clover sod to put in corn
that has lain two years, and it takes no
longer and is not so much e\|)en 3 e to
farm good land as it is poor land. The
pay is surer, beside, the satisfaction of
seeing your crops in a thriving coudi
tion and promising a good reward.

The Ass and the Fox.
One day, as an Ass was journeying
along toward a rich meadow, he
chanced upon a Fox who was quietly
sitting by the roadside.
“Ah, friend Fox,” said he, “I was
just looking for you. I ain going to
Feed in yonder meadow.”
“But,” answered the Fox, “You can¬
not get in; that meadow is reserved
for animals of Beauty.”
“Exactly,” said the Ass, “but 1 have

the last echo had died away, turning
