The up-to-date newspaper fad
is a woman’s edition—an edition

Wo gather that Editor Hid
Lew is despises Mr. Cleveland so
thoroughly (has he won’t admit
that Mrs. Cleveland is a honiitiful
woman, or that the Cleveland
.children are pretty children.
Brother Hidncy is a tritle too good

breaking and bedding, absolutely nee-
ossary in the ordinary preparation for
planting a crop, f or much some crops it is
.mportant ro plow deep,, than
for others, but on how many farms do
wo see any variation iu the depth o'
plowing, all crops bein'* prepared for
alike, An ignorant or indifferent plow-
man has no idea of the importance of
his work. Crooked or uneven furrows,
varying as to the width and deptn,
make the work har.l oa tho man uuA\ A)
hard on the mule, while a failure to
certain on this point tiie lciju ioumm
of the different crops to be piauted of¬
ten entails much unnecessary work,
with painfully inadequate .returns.
Good plowing not only requires prae-
tiue but observation a, well, the close
scrutiny, which Will euable tho farm >!•

la their eagerness to push oa rim
work, farmers often under present ur¬
gent conditions, are tempted to plow
tho land when too wet. No greater
mistake was over ma le, for while som -
tiling may be gained iu present speed,
t ie end is no amount of bother an 1
worry. Laud once plowed too wet
does not recover during that crop sea¬
son, and often its disastrous effects ex¬
tend into tho following year. A mis¬
take of almost equal gravity is to allow
the unplowod fields to stand after a
rain until a hard crust is formed. If
possible run a heavy harrow over the
surface before it becomes too dry. Tins
will prevent the crust from forming,
prevents evaporation and keeps the
laud in good condition until tho regu¬
lar comes along.
Another important point to re¬
member that at this season it is of n i
ben fit to turn any quantity of the
subsoil to the surfaco, that should have
