lowing Grass. —Taking one yei.r
with Another, gras* iosd that is
sown arly will generally inak* the
b sf growth and yield; and for this
ruasoa care should bs taken to
havo tlift seed on hand so as to sow
ia good season. Avery good plan ;
m t, wait until after the uniddie of
February, and when there is . light i
fall at'snow, sow the seed broad- 1
ca*t. One of the principal advan j
tapes of sowing grass seed on the i
snow is that it is somewhat easier
to iow properly,for where tin* seed
is sown it will show plainly, and
there is loss danger of skipping
places or of se wing over parts of
the field (ha second time. There
is no Economy in stinting the seed
If the best yield of grass is to be
made it is necessary to get a good
stand, and plenty of seed is essen
tial to the end.
Clover can be sown alone, with
oats or with gnss. Asa rule, if
grass seed is to be mingled with
clover, orchard grass should bo us
•and, for the reason that orchard grass
and clover ripen at about tha same
time, while nearly all other varie
ties of grssr-es ripen somewhat lat
er. And then the best quality of
hay can no! be obtained o readily.
Another goad plan is to sow
when the ground is frozen, but is
thawing out. The seed will sink
deep enough in tho sail to germin
ate, Some prefer to sow' clover, or
even grass 6eed, by thoroughly pre
paring th soil with a good tooth
harrow’ and rolling if necessary,
then sowing the seed and using a
light harrow ©r brush to cover.
Nearly, if not quite all grass seeds
ara small and tender and need on
ly a light covering to be in a condi
tio* to germinate.
Asa rule, the batter start to
grow tho plants gat, tho better able
they will be to withstand the heat
and dry weathar in summer. And
it is therefore quite an item to
make a good early start by sowing
ttie seed as soon as the condition
of the soil will admit.
Tha Century's Improved Farm
Ttols. —Nearly all the improve
ments that ever have been made in
the nineteenth centry. At the be
gitiiug of the present century the
best implements they had were
the old fashion v.ooden plow with
a few pounds of iron clumsily fitt
ed to the beam and mold board,
the sickle, ©>* cradle, for the grain
crop, tho hand flail for threshing
grain and the scythe for making
hay.
The old time plow is described
as made of wood, iron shed, large,
ill-shaped aid cumbersome, drawn
by from on© to six yoke of oxen,
requiring ©n® and often two man
to hold it, another to ride on tho
leiru to keen it in the ground,
s;ill another to keep it clear, and
:lu drivers, sometimea four to six
man, never less than two, to plow
an acre a day.
Now we have plows that, with a
light soil, ou© man with two hors
es will plow handsomely two and
a half acres per day. Then there
is a long list of cultivators and har
rows, and revolving hoes ?.ah nu
merous other implements, which
prepare and cultivate tho ceil bet
ter by far than ever before, nearly
doing away wilh the hea, one man
doing the work of several men with
old-tini* tools.
The mowing machine, wilh two
horse, and a driver, will mow ten
or twelve acres daily and the horse
rake, two horses and dr'ver, will
rake up twenty acres daily.
V\ ith the sickle, or reap hook,
man could rear) and bind hsfrdlran
* *
acre daily—now, with a harvester
and binder, a man, wilh two good
horses, will cut and bind fifteen to
twenty acres daily. And so on
through the whole lids of improve
ments in farming utensils.
Formerly with a hand flail a
man would thresh six t© ten bush
els of grain in a day; now a thresh
ing machine, two horses and two ©r
three man will thresh and clean
hundreds of bushels daily. On the
benanza farinß in Dakota and Cali
fernia, they with a few teams reap,
thresh, winnow and bag hundrods
and thousands of bnshels of grain
dsily.
A Miner’s Experience.
It falls to our lof to record an in
cident Ihat causes a shudder in its
contemplation, a week ago lasi
Sunday Tom Ryan, well known in
these parts, left William*’ ranch
for a prospecting tour for the day.
For all that Ryan is given to bibu
lous proclivities. This day he was
himself, as we have fr@m reliable
authority, and had been for sever
al days. Attiring himself to suit his
intended excursion, Ryan struck
out, and that was fho last seen of
him for six days. Queries h id been
made regarding his non appear
ance, but no knowledge o! his ex
isfeace could be obtained.
Last Saturday William M, Cann
and Frank Cavanaugh wer® in
search of the missing man. A few
hundred yards above the residence
of John Williams, in Old Woman's
Gulch, they passed an abandoned
tunnel. At the suggestion of one fo
sear;h the place with the possibili
ty of finding the object of their
search, with lighted candle they ee
tered. Cautiously they grouped
their way into tho tunnel, when
suddenly they found themselves on
tho brink ot a shaft. Peering ov
er the edge with their lighted can
dle tney could seo no bottom. They
called out, but no answer came.
Listening, Ihoy heard a souud; a
sound as of som one breathing
heavily. Again they called and an
answer came. Assistance was (lien
called, and by a rope Cavanaugh
was lowered to the bottom of the
hole, where lay Tom Ryan. “Hel
lo. '* answered Tom, “havi you coc e
t© stop to this hotel, to< ? I hare beta
very badly treated bera " On being
asked how he was, he replied that he
was alr’ght. The man was out of his
bead, but when told that he had bet
ter conte ot while ropes were being
put about him to hoist him up, he
agreed, but was unable to stand with
out assistance. He was brought up
and cared for. He had been without
food tor six days. The tunnel into
which he had wandered, by actual
measurement was 125 feet in length,
at the end <f whi.-h was tho shaft,
wfeieh n ea.ttred th:rtyfire feet, and
down whioh tfee man plunged, Dp
on examination ho was found to bn
oousiderably bruised ou th sides-, with
a ccntHsion iu the back of the bead at
the has* o( t! o skull.
At Isst accounts he was improving,
Abnit twenty fi?a years ago a man by
the name of Geoigo flush fell into tbe
same shaft, but was fortunate enough
'o find an o ! d bhovrl at tb bottom
wi b which he dug footboies in the
j soft lava ano got cut. 15a t tiuoe then
'be shaft tu cavod in considerably at
do tep, thus becoming too wide to
straddle it. It was only by mere
chance that Ryan was fouud.—Ex.

“Perfect Satisfaction,”
Is the verdict of ©very one using Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral for Colds, Coughs,
Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and all Lung
troubles. Unlike cod-liver oil, and
many other specifics, Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral is agreeable to the taste and
leaves no ill effects.
“ I cannot say too much in praise of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,” writes Mr.
Robert F. McKeen, of New Gretna,
N. J. “ I have used it in my family,
many years, and always with perfect
satisfaction.”
“Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is truly the
most Popular Remedy
of the age, rendering full satisfaction in
every instance.” Thornton Edwards,
Lonely Dale, Ind.
F. L. Morris, M. D., Brooklyn, N. Y.,
says : “ Your medicines have been satis
factory to me throughout my practice;
especially Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which
has been"used in great quantities hv my
patients, one of whom says he knows it
saved his life.” *
