JDK’S WIFE. Dr. Ford wan driving home in the twilight after ft hard day’s work. tired, and anxious a* to the result of an important surgical operation per formed that morning, The mud spattered lip from the street as he rolled along; and the chilling No¬ vember drizzle gave to the familiar tree* a forlorn, almost ghastly, a* pert. His heart warmed as he pic¬ tured to himself his wife watching for him, with a welcoming smile. from their cozy parlor; dinner ready; and a long, restful evening before them. But a* he drew near home, no cheerful light streamed from door or window. All seemed as dark and de sc rt ed a* the dripping street. He threw the reins to the boy whose duty it was to hold the horse on their professional rounds, arid flung open the front door with an irritated, in¬ jiired feeling. No tender smile; no sympathetic voice; no firelight; no dinner, appar¬ ently. "Elinor!” he called. No answer. “Klinor!" This time a voice s|«ike out of the darkness, a tired voice. “Do be more quiet, John; the baby is just going to sleep.” “Confound it! Why isn’t there a light here? and why isn’t the baby asleep before this time?” “He has ....... fretful all day with his teeth; and I have not bad a chance to change my dress even,”was the answer. A wailing cry from the nursery sent tbe voice hurrying thither; and the doctor, with some words not quite audible, proceeded to light the gas anil take off hi* damp overcoat. The house waa cold; the parlor had evidently been arranged by Hi her Mali hands; an odor of something burning stole from the kitchen re¬ gions. A pleasant reception, truly, for a man after a long day s work! He ran upstairs with no gentle footstep*. IDs wife sat by the nur sery fire; her fa* • wore a weary ex¬ pression, and she had on the same blue gown which she had donned for break fa*!. The baby, at length, slept in her arms. She held up a warning linger as her husband came blunder¬ ing in, lull already baby’s light, alum I„.|, a ,| |ieen ilMorbed; and the pro cess of sou.hit g and singing had to be all 1 e pen tod for the fiftieth time. It seemed to the young mother as if her patience could hold out no longer. It was provoking to have the little one startled from his un easy dreams again. She knew Bridget would s|H*il the dinner. She had been -ylug all day to get downstairs to ke th/' lUH** pleasant with a longed mag ouch | • rxVhSn nmi there She a ,‘Ct t ity a ^ > 1* her hair; but there hud been no clot nee for her to do one of these things, Nurse wns away with a sick sister; and babies always demand more from thelf mammas than from any one else. They are tyrannical little darlings, anti know and seize every opportunity to prove their I*ower over the anxious, half-ignor¬ ant young mothers who are happy, utter nil. to be slaves in such sweet ae nice. When, at last, the dinner bell rang, Mrs. Ford laid baby gently in his • rili, sound asleep this time, warm and lovely in his utter repose. She gave a hurried dab at her wavy lock*, caught up a fresh handkerchief, and ran to join her husband, who sat at t tie table, a decidedly cross look upon his fine face, lb* barely tasted the soup, then pushed it away in disgust. '*Hurtled?” asked the wife. "t)f course. Can’t you smell it all over the house? Why don’t you look after Bridget n little?” “Why, John, l have hardly been downstairs today.” "Where’* flnntiah?” "She went to her sister’* last niffht." “Oh! yes, I forgot. What’s this? Cold corned l»eef! Keally, Klim have nothing else?” "Would y< n like an omelet. John?** “No. \ beefsteak, if there is one in the house.** Mrs. Ford rose herself and went into tlie kitchen. The girl, of course, had just filled up the range with fresh coal; so there was nothing to i>e done but to make the l>est of the cold meat, potatoes ami ittftOironi, followed by » dessert of apple-pud¬ ding and cheese. Dr. Ford found fault with the po¬ tatoes. and said he was tired of mac¬ aroni. the bread was dry. the butter not perfect. As to the pudding: "My mother.” he said, “always had mince pie at this season.” This was the hist straw; and his wife, unusually sensitive to straws tonight, could In'iir no more. "It is a pity you ever left vour mother,” she said, hitte*lv. "1 think so too," he responded, pushing his chair hack. His wife hesitated a moment whether to run around the tald»* and burst into tears upon her husband's shoulder or to rush upstairs and have a good cry by baby's aide. She de¬ cided upon the latter course and, with quivering lip, left the room, aud shut herself up in the nursery, where the fire w;u& dying on the hearth and the baby breathing softly in strange ccntrw&t to her over wrought condition. Well, it was provoking. Women 9 Uats must erv ami By into a pus s on aia>ut trifles." But her husband, even as he thought these words, begau to fee! repentant.

We can get plen¬ ty mere.” “You s< . doctor." be said, in his hoarse voice, “l can’t speak rough to her. She’s my wife, you know.” The doctor sat with bent head, speechless. “I’ll send you a nurse, my man,” he said, after a pause, rising. "What you need is good caie.” i'll come again tontcu. Aud, with a low bow to man and wife, now clinging together, hand in hand, the doctor said “Good-night," and disappeared. "Thank yoa, air,”, called out tic sick man.

Ford dio'e slowly homeward, Though late, a bright light shone Irons Ihe parlor window as be stop peti Tbe gtow of a wood fire i»- laminated the room as he entered. But no one came to meet him. His wife sat in her low rocker fast asleep The lamp flung a calm radiance over her bronze-brown hair and delicate cheek as she slept with her head drooping against the crimson back of the c-hair. Her sweet, child-like expression, with a touch of pathos in the lips; and he? hands lay loosely clasped in the Jap of her dainty gown of softst dove color. Near the fire stood a white draped table holding a tempting little re¬ past, carefully arranged, From a slender glass in the midst hung one deep red rose. The doctor knew she had cut it for him from her favorite plant. Beneath it on a pretty plate reposed the flakiest, most delectable looking of pies. Ur. Ford stooped and kissed his wife’s fair cheek reverently. She stirred, then opened her large eyes slowly. “Oh! you have come. I am sorry I was not awake to meet you. But here’s a mince-pie, dear. I sent over to your mother for one.” “Hang the pie!” cried John Ford, “Elinor, I’m a brute.” “Oh! no, dear, only a man instead of an archangel, as I once firmly be lieved you to be. But never mind. How do you like my dress?” “It’s divine; bombazine, I suppose, You’re an angel, Elinor. But, dear est, come here and sit by me. I’ve just been to see a gentleman. I want to tell you all about it.” The Campbell Soil Culture System. Mr. H. W. Campbell, of Sioux City, Iowa, the editor of Western Soil Cult¬ ure, has introduced, or invented, a system of soil culture that has taken his name, and which has been thought by many to promise an ag¬ ricultural revolution by the economy thereby effected in the more thor ough utilization ot any fertilizers used in crop production. The New York Sun has recently been discuss ing it, and from it we secure some data which indicate that experiments have been going on in the semi-arid belt of the Dakotas. The. plan con sists in packing the subsoils by means of disk harrows so that the moisture shall not escape downward, and in so cultivating the surface that it shall not escape upward. There is thus formed a hard subsoil beneath, with a dust blanket surface, the lat ter about two inches deep, and the result is to give the growing crop all the moisture that falls. Ihe North ern I’acifie Rrilroad and the Milwau kee road have promoted experiments with this system, and all the experi ments have been reported a.s success fill. In other portions of the country where, the ruiuf; it is nfn .nai, it is probable that the Campbell system I Jcae effen is . djireony ^ call- .

Many of our sugar planters, and doubtless others, have therefore preferred to use horse hoes of the plow variety, and not of tbe disk variety, using strad riling tools mounted on wheels with small shovels or mould-board plows i j attached. The stirring effect of these tools is accomplished by lifting the soil, and not by the sweeping and wiping motion incident to disk cult are. If the cultivators of the semi-arid districts of Dakota use disk imple¬ ments purposely to compact their subsoil so that it shall hold water, the same data should certainly lead us to avoid disk implements and to utilize the shovel or turning plow variety instead.

A press special from Washington says that returns to the statistical division of the department of agri culturefoi October make cotton show a decline of 3.5 points from the Se>p tember condition, which was 64.2, against 60.7 for the present month, The percentages by states as follow, Virginia, 59; North Carolina, 64; South Carolina, 67; Georgia, 67; Flor ida, 66; Alabama, 61; Mississippi, 60; Louisiana, 81; Taxas, 57; Arkansas, 53; Tennessee, 69; Missouri, 79. j The department report as to the 1 ! condition < f cotton last month is ful j j |y sustained by the returns for the present month. In all states east j j of the Mississippi river little or no I j top crop lias been ma|e, and the , <r0 p will all be gathered by the mid die of the month . j Damage is reported front Mttsi&Kfp’: pi by the frosts 00 Sept. 88 and 29. Caterpillars and rust are com¬ plained of in the Sea island district 1 of Florida. tjiight improvement has been made in some few Louisiana and Arkansas counties, but the crop will be gath cred before the close of the month. There has been a general deteriora tion also in Texas, ami in some sec¬ tions the crop has been injured by worms, frosts and heavy rains dur¬ ing the last of September. There will be a very small yield from the top crop, and the reports say the crop will be gathered by Nov. 1. Experiments With Foods, Experiments made at the New York experiment station v how that, making allowance for the cost of hatching a, *d growing the pullets used in the experiments, and considering the market value of the hens at the end, the excess of the product over the cost of the whole grain consumed was 4S.6 per cent. This is near enough to claim that the excess over the food is equal to the cost; that is, if the food cost one dollar the value of the pro¬ duct,after paying for the food,is one dollar. With those having ground grain the excess was 08.5 per cent, or a fraction over two-thirds. In using Leghorns and Cochins it was found that the Leghorns made the larger gain in eggs but the Cochins made a gain in value of meat product, and the result showed that ground grain is cheaper than whole grains, consid¬ ering tlie value of the eggs and meat from the hens, but it is more labor¬ ious to feed ground grain than to scatter the whole grains. Ground grain permits of using a greater va¬ riety of foods, which no doubt was an important factor in producing the lnrger grain. About seventy-five men were dis¬ charged from work on t.iie Itoyal I’aim hotel at Miami last week.
