ftowix-r rr 0R OATS AJa > barley.
h . r Written in favor of Tall
in e -^'herican Agriculturist,
writes Joseph Harris, but I learn by let-
ters received from readers that there are
points not yet clearly understood. In
repeatedly particularly advocating' fall plowing, what
was in mind was not sod
land, but land on which a crop of corn,
or potatoes, or beans, or roots had been
grown and which was intended for oats
or barley in the spring. Little or noth-
«>g said about plowing sod land in
the fall; on my own farm—of late years,
at any rate—I seldom, if ever, plow sod
land in the fall, and that not from the-
oretical reasons only, but because there
« not time and because, further, sod
laud can. be plowed in the sprin <r at
times it hen other land is too wet and
sticky to work to advantage.
It is of great importance to sow barley
and oats early in. the spring. A few days
difference in time of sowing often makes
all the difference between a good crop
and a poor one—and what a difference
that is all experienced farmers know. It
is not merely the loss of all profit from
our labors, but the land is foul with
weeds and in poor condition generally.
My own land varies considerably in char¬
acter. Much of it is rolling land, the
knolls being sandy, while the lower
edges of the knolls are more or less
clayey,and the valleys between the knolls
vary from a dark sand to a sandy loam
and a clayey loam. Perhaps these terms
do not convey a distinct meaning. All I
wish to show is that the soil varies con-
siderably and requires different methods
of working. To get part of a field into
good condition for oats or barely in tha
spring requires three or four times the la¬
bor required on other parts.
On such land as this (say a field that
has been in corn the past season, and on
which one intends to sow oats in the
spring) I find an immense advantage
from fall plowing. As soon as the corn
is cut, and while it is standing in stooks
in the field, if I have time I like to start
the plows on the land between the rows
of stooks, and finish plowing after the
corn and stalks are removed.
On strong land I put three horses on
the plow and turn up a good, deep fur¬
row, and leave the subsoil on top, where
it is exposed to the ameliorating action
of the air and frosts of winter.
Such fall-plowed land is cleaner and
much more easily prepared plowed. for spring
crops than if it had not been In
plowing for corn, my practice is to plow
around the field, and thus avoid having
dead furrows. But, in plowing in the
fall for spring crops, I can, if necessary,
make narrow lands, and, by connecting
the dead furrows with the necessary out¬
lets, I can get rid of a large quantity of
water in the early spring. These nar¬
row lands, by running a gang-plow so as
to fill up the dead furrows, are easily
leveled down, and, by cross-harrowing
with an Acme or other harrow, the land
can soon be got ready for tho drill. I
drill in 150 to 200 pounds of superphos¬
phates with tho barley and oats, and
have reason to expect a good crop, and
the land, after the oats or barley is har¬
vested, is in better condition for plow¬
ing for wheat than if it had not been
well and deeply plowed the fall previous.
—American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Mature plans for fall work.
Select good seed corn early.
Make a new strawberry bed.
Fall plowing is now in order.
Sheep need salt, and should be sup¬
plied regularly, once a week.
The cross-roads stallion and the scrub
bull must “step down and out.”
Thumb-and-finger pruning will sav»
knife and saw pruning later on.
A good practice is to grow stock in
summer and fatten it in the winter.
A mixture of pigs, corn and clover is
recommended as a remedy for mortgage.
Give your calves shelter from the sun’s
rays, and all the cold water they want tc
drink.
Endive should be set out this month
and kept well worked to induce a quick
growth.
Prepare a pile of suitable and well-
rotted soil for potting the winter supply
of plants.

LINCOLN’S MELANCHOLY.
Ilia Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Ullsfortnnca.
Those who saw ranch of Abraham Lincoln
luring the later iho years of his life, were greatly
impressed with expression of profound
melancholy his face always wore in repose.
Mr aud Lincoln was of a peculiarly sympathe¬
tic kindly nature. These strong charac¬
teristics entire influenced, very happily, They as would it proved,
his political career. efficient not
seem, at first glance, to bo aids to
political which success; Lincoln, but in in the peculiar providence emer¬
gency tho of
God, was called to meek no vessel of com¬
mon clay could possibly have become the
“chosen of tho Lord.”
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged bis whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business at Salem, was “Uncle” night, Billy Green,
of Tallula, III., who used at when the
customers were few, to hold the grammar
while Liucoln reeited his lessons.
It was to h s sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and he, in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln’s
great heart nearly broke.
“After Ann diet!,” says “Uncle'’ Billy, “on
stormy nights, when the wind blew the rain
against the roof, olbows Abe would his set thar his in the
grocery, his on knees, face in
his hands, and the tears ‘runnin’ feel through bad, his
fingers. I hated to see him an’ I’d
say, ‘Abe don’t cry;’ and he’d look up an’
say, her.’ ‘I can’t ” help it, Bill, the rain’s a failin’
on - - —* .»
.
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think of a
lost loved one, when “the rain’s a failin’ on
her.” What adds poignancy to the grief
sometimes is tho thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is'William Johnson, of
Corona, L. I., a builder, who writes June 28,
1890: “Last February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
of gradually having a pain in her ankle. The pain
extended until her entire limb was
swollen and very painful to the touch. We
called a physician, who after careful exam¬
ination, prondunooa it disease of the kidneys
of long standing. AU we could do did not
seem to benefit her until we tried Warner’s

Just move her hands a little, but to-day she
is as well as she ever was. I believe I owe
the recovery of my daughter to its use.”
Useful Notes.
Powdered borax mixed with a little
powdered sugar and scattered about in
spots will prove sure death to cockroaches
and to ants, and if that is not handy, a
fewdrops of spirits of turpentine effective sprinkled the
here and there will be as in
case of these nuisances as in the case of
moths.
To clean corsets, take out the steels at
front and sides, then scrub them thor¬
oughly with tepid lather of white castile
soap, using a very small scrubbing brush.
Do not lay them in water. When quite
clean let cold water run on them freely
from the faucet, to rinse out the soap
thoroughly. Dry them without ironing
(after pulling lengthwise till they are
straight and shapely) in a cool place.
To make tins shine, wash in hot soap¬
suds, dip a dampened cloth in fine sifted
coal ashes, then polish with dry ashes.
Common salt will clean and open a
drain pipe. A few cups full should be
placed in such pipes at least twice a
month. discolored
Coffee and tea pots become
on the interior iu a very short while. To
prevent this—about every two weeks, put
into them a teaspoonful of soda, and fill
them two-thirds full of water; let boil
two hours. Wash and rinse well before
using. In this way they will always be
sweet and clean. embroidered
To set delicate colors in
handkerchiefs, soak them ten minutes
previous to washing, in a pail of tepid
water, in which a dessertspoonful of tur¬
pentine has been well stirred.
