TilE FARMERS’ CORNER.
Valuable Collection of Agricultural
Items Gathered for Fanners.
BOW ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS SIIOILD
BE ITSED.
Fertilizers which contain potash in
large quantities have a strong corro
sive action and are exceedingly solu
ble. For these reasons most of them
cannot safely be used in direct con
tact with the seed. Some of them
are harmless in this respect, as super
phosphate of lime, ground bone and
dried blood and flesh, and these may
be sown with seed by means of the
usual fertilizer attachment; but all
the others are to be used with cau
tion. The only safe method is to
scatter them broadcast, so that they
may not come in contact with the
seed, or even the young plants,
especially those of which the seed
leavts form a sort of cup or tube, as
corn, for instance, does. The pota-h
salts, guano and the manures for
special crops will all injure corn when
sown over the young plants, if any
portion falls into the centre of the
slander scroll which is formed by the
leaf, and by which the tender grow
ing spire is enveloped. Even the
common home-made mixture of
poultry manure and ashes will
“burn” the young plant when thus
applied. And when these fertilizers
are used in a drill, directly with the
seed, the germs are often completely
destroyed. To secure the bestefftc s,
one-half of the quantity used should
be applied immediately before the
harrowing and covered into the soil,
the other half being sown on the sur
face immediately after the seed is
sown or the planting is finished.
This is advisable because the soluble
substances are soon mingled with
and diffused through the soil, and
that part mixed with it bv the har
row provides food for the germ and
the young plant at its first stages of
growth, while that applied on the
surface is slowly washed into the soil
and supplies the later requirements
of the plant. In using them in hill
planting it is well to scatter the fer
tilizers around, hut not on the seed
before it is covered, so that they will
be mixed with the soil and dissolved
before the young roots reach them.
Repeated applications of a portion of
the fertilizers at different stages of
growth have been found exceedingly
useful, and this seems to supply the
plant with fresh food and to give in
creased vigor of growth at critical
periods. Thus, in a case in which
more than 150 bushels of corn were
grown to the acre, the fertilizer, con
sisting of 600 pounds of special corn
manure per acre was applied, one
third at the harrowing, one-third af
ter the planting and the last third at
the last time of cultivation. In an
other case, a portion was applied at
the period when the tassel first ap
peared and with marked benefit to
the crop.
Horses are often injured by being
overfed. This mdSt frequently hap
pens in the spring of the year when
they are worked hard at plowing
and similar work. Unthinking farm
ers have an idea that because the la
bor is hard, horses require large quan
tities of grain, which is generally a
mistake. Too much grain given at
one time will have a tendency to
sour the stomach and destroy the ap
petite, thus being realiy worse for
the condition of the horse than not
to feed enough.
Working horses while it is raining
or snowing, as is often done during
the plowing season in the early
spring, generally does them much
injury, and seldom, if ever, is there
any time gained bj it. Horses should
be carefully protected from the sud
den showers, which are frequent at
this time of the year. Cold, lung fe
ver and similar diseases are often
caused by horses becoming drenched
when they are in a state of perspira
tion.
It is a self-evident truth, as any in
teligent and observing farmer will
admit, that there is no real gain in
clearing up river and creek banks to
the water’s edge, as the first freshet
washes' the soil away, besides fre
quently cutting sloughs through land
not formerly invaded by it. pond-*,
breeding sickness and death, are of
ten the result of this same pernicious
practice.
Many who make an excellent qual
ity of dairy butter often wonder why
they do not get as high a price as is
paid for creamery butter. This is ea
sily explained when it is understood
that the thorough and systematic
methods adopted by the creameries
insures a uniformity of perfection in
the product which is quite impossi
ble with tho dairy at large.
Take care of your horses’ (ails. It
is not half the trouble to tie up their
tails before starting from the stable,
that it is to e'ean them after they
have become covered with mud.
Besides the dirt coming in contact
with the hair makes it harsh and
brittle, and consequently is very in
jurious.
The interests of stock raising are
developing with great rapidity
throughout the south, which means
that that region has a prospect of a
more solid prosperity ahead than it
has ever before known.

CDiSTEXEI) GRIEF, IT TIIE GRAVE OF A
SO 5.
BY RBV. A. A. LIPSCOMB, LL. D.
It is a spot where I may weep,
Nor murmur in my teare;
For these are tears from founts more deep
Than those of other years.
The years that heard my bitter moan
Roll back no echoes now,
Though stricken yet, though sad and lone
To Thee, oh, Christ! I bow.
It is a shrine where i may kneel
■With no idolatry;
Whose recollections o’er me steal,
Untouched by vanity—
Too hallowed now for selfish thought,
Reflucd from earthly dross,
The grief that was with anguish traught,
Clasps, Lord, Thy Blessed Cross.
Not less, this hour, the heavy blow
That smote my ehe ished trust,
And laid my life’s ambition low,
Alas! in kindred dust;
Not less severe than when it fell
At first upon my heart;
But never more shall I rebel,
Nor act a traitor’s part.
For traitor, Lord, I’d surely be,
Dead to life’s highest grace,
To grief most false and false lo Thee;
If here beneath Thy face,
This baud should willful press the dart
Where it would rankle more,
When Thou wouldst draw it from my heart
Aud healing ou it pour.
My tears Thou wonldst not here restrain
Beside his restiug-place,
Whose life ne’er gave a moment’s pain
Or aught else to efface.
I know the loss; 1 kuow the gain ;
And oft in thought they blend,
Like sunshine gleaming through the rain,
"When sudden showers descend.
And thou ait here who once with me
Shared time and song aud prajer,
Whose smile was mine in childhood’s glee,
And mine in toil and care.
I often thought that thou woulc’st wend
Thy way to this lone hill,
And o’er my grave in silence bend,
This urn with roses fill.
But I am here to do for thee,
In springtime’s early hours,
What thou caust never do for me—
Bedeck my tomb wi:h flowers.
And yet for me a wotk thou dost,
Which not till l iti I knew ;
God help my heart, this hope to trust,
Of all ay hopes most true!
I thought that thou in coming time
Wouldst be ray strength and stay,
I thought to find in thy full prime
Support amidst decay ;
No earthly one such help could give,
So tender, strong and wise,
’Twas happiness with thee to live,
Though crushed so many ties.
And as the years went brightly on
Thou seem’dst a sweet disguise,
In which the bliss that long had gone
Revisited mine eyes;
For in thy voice I heard a tone,
Another’s more than thine,
And in thy face her beauty shone
Whose love had made thee mine.
Abroad —at home—the scholar’s lore
Had won fur thee a name ;
Yet richer far than learning’s store
And dearer far than fame,
I prized the love whose high intent
Shaped thee to its pure sphere,
Where thou didst find supreme content,
Thy Lord’s cross ever near.
And still for me this sphere is thine
Where thou didst ouce abide,
A glory ’round it more divine
Since thou hast left my side ;
For oft on rising pulse of wrong
Thy spirit breathes its calm,
And oft to nights of angnish long
Thy presence brings its balm.
And thus for thee my love doth grow
Far deeper than belore,
Though gone the hue of ruddy glow
That once it proudly wore ;
A mellow lustre now it sheds,
Soft as the gauze-like haze
Which o’er the fading landscape spread*
Iu autumu’s dreamy days.
Oh, near to me each day thou art!
How sweetly do I feel
Thy whispered accents to my heart
In blesMngs o’er me steal!
Each hour some th raght thou dost inspire
To cheer and solace me,
And when I touch the poet’s lyre
Its music comes from thee.
PECK’S BAD BOY AND HIS PA.
The Boy Adopts a Poor Woman and Her Ba
by, and Makes Them Happy—Tries to
Help a Calf and Gets Kicked in the
hip,
“There,now, I have got you,” said
the grocery man to tnebad boy, as he
came in with his lip cut and looked
in tl\p glass to see if it was growing
together. “Now you sit down here
while I call a policeman. I saw you
going down an alley this morning
with a tin pail and a bundle, and I
believe you are one of those fire-bugs,
and that you had a pail of kerosene
and some kindling, and that you
have set a fire with a slow match that
will break out pretty soon. O, lam
on to you,” and the groceryman
looked sassy.
“Well, I have kindled a fire,” said
the bad boy, as he rubned some va
seline on his lip, “and when it breaks
out, and becomes warm, instead of
calling out the tire department it will
call forth prayers from a poor heart
broken woman, and make the smiles
of joy light up her face, and don’t
you forget it.”
“Where did you set that fire,” ask
ed the groceryman, as he began to
relent. “Tell me about this incendi
ary performance.”
“Well, you know that girl that
run away from our ward Just year,
and married that dude who thought
she was rich? He deserted her, and
she came back here about a month
ago, but she was not well enough to
get work in the store, and she has
had a bard time. I used to go to
school with her, and the other day J
met. her on a back street, and she ask
ed me for two shillings to buy some
bread and milk, and I gave it to her,
and then I followed her to her home.
Sue lives in a room over a meat mar- -
ket, and all the furniture she has get
wouldn’t fill a play house for your
little baby girl. I guess half the time
all the meat she has is the smell she
gets from the meat down stairs, but
when they are frying lard in the
butcher shop the smell is real
strengthening. Well, sir, when 1
went in the room she was feeding a
leetle bit of a baby some bread and
milk, and crying and laughing all at
once. By gosh, it broke me e.U up.
She had pawned everything she had
for something for the baby to eat,
andsh Q was in a pretty bad shape.
The baby eat and laughed, and went
to sleep, aud then she told me ail her
troubles, how the dude had gone back
on her, and how she had worked
making shirts at ten cents apiece to
support herself aud baby. I was
darn glad that baby did not look like
the dude. Well, sir, that poor, pale
girl, crying there in that old bare
room, was too much for Hennery,
and I weut out and called our gang
of boys together, us boys that I told
you had been sawing wood for wid
der-i. I told them about this girl,
aud being the boss of the gang I gave
them fifteen minutes to raise tw<>
dollars apiece, and before the time
was up they all came down with the
money. Then I divided it up and
told one boy to go and get two dol
lars worth of coal, and another oue,
he was a committee on buscuit and
tea and sugar, and I was lightning
on baby clothes and milk, and the
bundle you saw me carry down the
adey was flannel clothes our baby has
kicked herself out of, and it want no
kindling wood for incendiary fires,
and the kerosene you thought I hau
was milk, regular old cow milk, aud
none of your milk wagon siufi'.
Well, you’d a dido to see us fellows
get things up stairs, and surprise
that poor little woman. My chum
built a fire, aud you ought to have
seen me dress that baby. I used u
be mad when raa made me pus
clothes on the baby, at home, when
she wanted to do up her hair, but
now I’ui glad of it, ’cause I can get
in my work on little, cold, poor ba
bies, and make them think l am an
old nurse fromNurseville, The tired
little mother just sat right down
on the floor and cried to see us boys
take Hold of running the house, and
I was afraid she would flood the
butcher shop below, so I took the
baby, when 1 had got the warm flan
nels on it, and it looked surprised ai
being so warm, as though something
had happened to if, and X put it it.
the mamma’s lap and she hugged it
till I thought she would bust it, sure,
but mothers know just how tight to
hug, don’t they? Wo fixed her up
in good shape, and each of us borrow -
ed a blanket off ouv own beds at
home and took them to her, anu 1
guess she is the happiest, little wo
man in this town, but I wish sht
would not cry so. It breaks some
thing inside my vest when I see a
woman cry, and I feel as though my
gall was all running out. Weil, us
boys has took a solemn oath to be
that woman’s gardeene— how do you
spell that? Anyhow we are going to
be her pertector, or boss', this winter,
until she gets able to work and earn
her living, and that woman is goimi
to have all she can lay her jaws to,
aud that baby is going to be dressed
just as well as any baby in this town,
as long as rna’s baby’s clothes hole
out. I tell you, a baby with foui
bad boys laying for it, to watch that
it don’t suffer, isn’t in danger ol
freezing, and after this if you see me
going down that alley at night, load
ed with anything, from a nursing
bottle to a barrel of flour, don’t you
give me away. And il you hear oi
any babies that’s lost their cud, and
don’t know where the next meal is
coining from, you just inform us
and we will fill the baby so fulTot
cut teed that it can’t yip. Say, how
would some of them dried apples do
for our baby?”
“O get out,” said the grnceiyman,
“you ought to know that dried apples
would split a baby wide open.
Whatever you do, don’t ever give a
baby dried apples. Now, here are
some nice prunes, that would be
splendid for a baby. They are a lit
tle wormy, bu* prunes open the pores
and develop the voice. Have a coup
le of pounds?”
“Naw. I don’t want any prunes.
This isn’t a prune baby. Ma’s baby
is a prune baby. I guess, cause its
pores are open all the time, and il
has got the best developed voice in
tnis town. But this baby with a
dude father is going to live on some
thing better than boarding house
sauce. Say, don’t you think there
ought to be a law to kill dudes when
they are out of season?”
“Dudes ought to be protected the
same as any other game,” said the
grocery man. “They are harmless
except in August, when they ought
to be muzzled. But what ails your
lip.?”
“A calf kicked it. I don’t think a
calf has got any more sense than a
dude. The humane society told me
to keep watch and when I saw anv
of these fellows that bring calves in
town in a wagon abusing the ca'ves
to make them stop it, or have them
arrested. Yesteday I saw a calf all
tied up by the legs in a wagon, bel
lowing, and I sneaked up behind and
cut the rope around its legs, to re
lieve the pain, How do you think
the calf thanked me? Kicked mein
ttie lip with both hoofs, and the
driver chased me two Mocks with a
blacksnake whip. There has got to
be a better understanding between
calves and us humane society fellows,
or I shall resign. Wait till Igo and
carry these red socks to the baby and
I will play you a game of dominoes,”
and the bad boy went out whistling,
4 I’m Denny McGonigle’s Daugnter,
Mary Ann,” and the grocery man cut
off a piece of cheese to seijd the baby.
