KILMER'S few* and attention Sfcoeld Be Ohm to the Com Crap How to Make m Two- Wheeled Stone boat--Clover h Saaan Drinias in Para, It seems-to me that corn is being raised with the least thought and many times, with the least care of any of our main farm crops. I have had considerable experience in rais­ ing it and think tbere are many points in favor of drilling it in rather than planting it in the old way. With the aid of a boy or man I can j drill ten acres in one day. When the corn is up two or three iu. with a smoothing barrow I uro over it ' lengthwise of the rows. This is dis-1 couraging work for a novice, hut in two or three days you wi 1 be sur-! prised at the result--it will have straightened up and grown so much. In a week I repeat this work by dragging it again, which loosens up the ground. It seems to no more good than can be accomplished with a cultivator and in much less time. Last year I left about twenty feet which I did not drasr and the dltter- ence could be plainly seen during the whole season in the summer grass in the row. The difference in cutting hilled or drilled corn is greatly in favor of corn planted in the hill. I pay $i per acre for cutting planted corn and 91.50 for drilled corn. A reaper will work very successfully cutting drilled corn, as the knife never has to cut but one or two stalks at a time. Of course the reaper cannbt be used when pumpkins are raised; but the main difference is when the crop is harvested I can get a much larger yield per acre of grain and fodder. I have often heard my neighbors say, "X should drill my corn this year if I had my drill arranged just rigbt, but I cannot arrange it so as use it satis­ factorily." Tbe change is a simple one. In the first place, put a narrow strip on the frame oi the driil in f,ont of the wheel, say one in. by two in., large and long enough to reach by the wheel far enough to let the wheel return in the track made by tbe marker to make the row wide enough. We attach a small chain to the end of this projecting piece with an iron weight attached to the other end 3f the chain sufficiently heavy to make the mark to follow. For instance I use a tooth drill with the teeth seven in. apart. Row with the second one from each wheel; that leaves the rows forty-two in. apart, whi?h is about the"right distance. I now flt a board in the grain box, each side of tbe cup that sows the grain, or. if you piefer, place the iron plates over the cups, exiept tbe ones used for sowing. I prefer to remove ail the teeth not used. I prefer to use a little phosphate in the row, and one tooth each side. This can be ar­ ranged the same as for sowing the itrain.--J. Q.

Every time you see" tbe old mow­ ing machine beside the road useless and a detriment to the scenery, re­ member that it may be transformed very easily into a great labor-saver. Draw It onto the barn floor some wet day and take it apart. Remove the wheels and have your nearest black- J smith lengthen the, main axle enough i to accommodate your biggest stone- boat between the wheels when they ! have been returned to their places, j Then have him make a couple of j clamps to flt over the axle and bolt ! down on the reves. In attaching j tbe boat see that it does not balance j but has a tendency to ride on its | nose. Then when loaded and under motion the entire weight will come I upon the wheels This work should j not cost more than 00 to 75c, and ' will greatly facilitate the drawing ot heavy loads for which a boat is com­ monly used. A most excellent dray has been made by putting the axle within one foot from the rear end, and suspending tbe forward end to a stick of oaK timber 4x4 inches and swinging this end under the center of axle IS a 2 belonging to still an­ other old mower. These arrange­ ments greatly lessen the draft. This second axle need not be lengthened. It is easy to fasten sideboards to this low-down contrivance by bolting sticks to them which run through staples fastened to tbe sides of the boat For moving sand, earth, stones, for picking up stones, etc., it has no equal ;y. •. .

THE following were the sensible wedding presents of a small-pursed but kind-hearted old lady" to her favorite young friend: A large basket full of cake and breadpans that had been tested in their oven qualities, and wnich were a hundred times better than the stock of new shiny tins, that a young housekeeper usually has to start with; an ironing board, well covered with old blankets and sheets; ironing holders, and sev­ eral bundles of dust clotha It is safe to say this present was thoroughly appreciated. A NEW way of solving the curtain question that is certainly convenient, and by no means ugly is to have two 6ets of sash curtains, one for the up­ per and one for the lower half of the window. Both are hung on rods and consist of two parts, so that they can be parted in the middle. The upper set should be made long enough to fall about an inch over the top of the lower set. Thsy may be made of muslin, silk, or any other fabric, with edges hemstitched, frilled or trimmed with lace. The arrange­ ment is a good one for small bed­ rooms or for kitchen windows. FOR kid gloves of light color, that are but slightly soiled, but not stained, there is no better mode of freshening than to wind a bit of oiled silk around tbe finger, rubbing vig­ orously to remove all traces of the mar. Any woman who tests this easy way ot cleaning kid gloves will be sure to keep thereafter a strip of the silk in her possession. A quar­ ter or even an eighth of a yard is quite enough to purchase at once, as in fancy dry goods houses where it is sold it is kept moist in a large roll, and is thus very pliable. Aioisten the silk, however, when using, as one does a postage stamp. "ANYBODY can wash trousers, either white or colored," said a tailor, tbe other day, to one of his custom- era "The process is perfectly sim­ ple if certain plain directions are carefully followed. First, wash them | thoroughly in warm soapsuds only | rubbing the soap on very bad spots; i when well washed, rinse in cold j water twice, taking care that no j soap is left on tbe goods. Then j hang out to dry in the shade, never j in the sun. Let tbe water drop off, I but do not wring them. They should | be hung by the waist* and the J moisture that collects at the end of each leg pressed off from time to time with a towel When nearly J dry, but still damn, they should be j turned on the wrong side ancl ironed ; dry, and finally turned on the right | side and creased.

"Of all tbe feathered musicians," a bird dealer recently said, "the mock­ ing bird Is easily king, and his rich, pure notes are far ahead bf the Eng­ lish nightingale, about which poets have raved awl bards have sung, The mocking bird is also the gamecock of the bird family, and his pugnacity gets him into all bis trouble. "The mocking birds prefer a dense thicket as a home, and it is here the trappers hnnt for him. Just about this season ot the year they are all busy preparing their nests. The fe­ males, who have been to themselves during the winter, are looking up their recreant husbands, and great preparations are being made for fam­ ily cares. Usually four eggs are found in the nests, which arfe light blue in color, with large browa specks. They hatch in fourteen days. After three or four weeks the birds may be taken from their nests and easily reared by hand. "The mocking biru commences to sing when he is about two months old. The first indication you get is a restlessness on tbe part of the bird, with soft, low, unfinished notes. Gradually his voice improves, and as he gets older he adds to his reper­ toire until be is a finished vocalist. Not contept with productions of his own, he is a great mimic, andean Imitate almost any of the bird fam­ ily. But tbe song of the mocking bird you hear in the cities is not the song you hear in his native state. There his notes are pure, sweet and resonant, while in the city he often introduces a harsh note in imitation of 80!i.e noise he has heard. "A word about how 1 catch birds. Of course, the first thing to do is to provide myself with su table traps. I have found by experience that the double-deck trap is by far the best. I usually employ three assistants, and we start in different directions at 3 o'clock in the morning. After locat* ing the bird section the traps are set, with a decoy bird of some other spe. cies, preferably a cardinal, in the in­ terior of the cage. It is here thai the pugnacity of the mocking bird asserts itself, and gets him into trouble, for as soon as he sees this other bird he goes for him, and the minute he lights upon the conven lent perch set for him the drop it sprung and the wings come togethei simultaneously, and he is a captive. At night there is a round-up, so tc speak, and the birds are pla« ed in 8 large room, which is carefully pro tected from enemies.

Reynolds of Boston, "that some­ thing bordering very closely upon perpetual motion will eventually be discovered, although every man who talks perpetual motion now is looked upon as an incipient lunatic. Mj reason for this idea is the rapiditj with which tbe word 'impossible' it being removed from the mechanical engineer's dictionary As far bach AS 1 can remember, 'engineers have regretted the immense loss of powei caused by stopping vehicles, especi­ ally those used for carrying passen­ gers short distances. It is said tc take live times as much power 01 force to stop a vehicle as to haul 11 along l$vel ground, and it takes ten times aT mu h power to start it again. Hundreds of ideas have beec suggested lor storing the wasted force on stopping vehicles, but everj suggestion has been impracticable On account of the immense weight ol the machinery required for the pur­ pose. Now a device has been per­ fected and is in actual use wblcb weighs but a few pounds and abso* lately retains more than half the power used in stopping a vehicle. When a driver w shes to stop he places his foot on a small lever, '^whereupon a powerful spring does a great deal of the work otherwise re­ quired ot the brake. When he wants to start again he liberates the catch and the spring uucoils itself. This experiment, when tried With horses on tbe level, worked too well and sometimes threw the horses down by the sudden jerk. Uphill, however, it relieved them of a terrible strain. When applied to electric street-cai service, it should prevent a great deal of burning out of fuses, and also relieve the engines a great deal when there is a sudden resuming of traffic after a temporary breakdowa."--»$t Louis Globe -Democrat. MiiM TatwM«PUeo »« m Tha* Wwni by ttbanoew Home of the most successful and rema kable engineering enterprises have been claimed to owe their ex| Istence to circumstances which, wheo considered in themselves^ seem far too trival to have produced such important results. Though opin­ ions be divided as to the first trans­ mission of lower by electricity, for example, it has been strenuously maintained in some quarters that accident, pure and simple, was the cause of the great discovery, and an interesting story has been told tor many years of the attending circum­ stances. This is to the effect that at the International Exhibition at Vienna, in 1873. the Gramme Com- pany e\hiblted two dynamo ma- ^Ines for plating purposes. One of these machines was In motion, and a workman who notice that some cables were trailing on the ground thinking that they belonged to the second machine, placed ttnm in Its terminals. To the surprise of every­ body this second machine immediately began to turn, ahd^it was then dis­ covered that the first dynamo was driving the second. It would be strange, indeed, if there were not others versions of this story and ac­ cordingly we find several somewhat different accounts,from all at which, however, it would appear that the development of any measurable power In a machine taking its supply of electricity from a primary dynamo was something wholly unexpected and correspondingly starting. Closely analogous is the narrative of the origin of one of the most suc­ cessful foundry blowers now in use, according to which the inventor was attempting to construct a water motor which persistently refused to go round when the water was turned on. In the determination to learn what was wrong a belt connection was made with a line shaft so that the motion of the machine might be studied. By the same means a re­ verse motion was given to it, and the way in which it threw the water,and, after the water had been exhausted, drove a current of air, suggested an ent rejehange af purpose, and the ma* chine was finished and put on the market as a blower, instead of as a water motor, and thousands have been built since. This story, often told with various modifications of detail, serves as an additional illustration of tbe fact that Inventors frequently stumble upon success in entirely unexpected directions. -- Castist'i Magazine. «OSB who €oufd not eat Oike, hot biscuit, bread and pastry because of indigestion have found that by rais­ ing them with Royal Baking Powder they are enabled to eat them with per­ fect comfort.

We can unde stand this as regards the setting of precious stones, for, as we once said befo e, many years ago,the instinct of a Southern Asiatic living In painful sunlight is to blend the bright colors he works in till they do not hurt the eye.

But what helps him or a Japanese, or even a Turk, if a Sultana has given the order, to make a gold or silver ornament which the West can onlf gaze at in defeated admiration, i$ still a problem not completely solved. The Asiatic does not know anything paiticuiar about gold and silver; he has no tools exiept pincers and a hammer; and he has not the powe ol pioducing intense heat; yet he will do things with the metals which his Eu opean brother cannot do with all appliances and skill.

The whole ol Picton's line cheered tremendously, and as theroardled away, Wellington was heard to remark,half to himself: •'Soult is a cautious commander, and will not attack in force without as­ certaining the meaning of these cheers. That will leave time for the sixth divisiou to came up, and we shall beat him." This was exactly what happened, and Soult sustained a bloody repulse where he migb$ Jhaye won an easy victory.

Five of our States and Territories are each larger than the United Kingdom of (ireat Britain and Ire­ land. Aix of a rich man's philosophy is applicable only to the poor; the wise things a poor man would do depend upon the possession of riches. Cavalry and Cold Steel. If you allow a cavalry soldier to forget the value of cold steel and rei ly on Are action you destroy the dasl|| and clan which make him formidable*! and should be his characteristic. Therefore Frederick, 130 years ago^ ordered his troopers always to attack^ and while he discountenanced the us# of carbines, gave them the necessary; support which fire lends, by organic ing a light artillery to attend theii movements. Napoleon has told us that "cavalry cannot reply to Are, and can only flghi with the steel," and fully recog­ nizing the weakness of his horsemen, he gave them an auxiliary in the shape of horse artillery, which, so far from hampering their movements, added to the boldness and enterprise when acting independently ahead of his vast armies. The co-operation of the two arms was also then fouud to work in another direction to the ben­ efit of both, for while projectiles loosen compact formations, and ren- der the attack of squadrons more dangerous, the cavalry force the scat­ tered units to draw together and pre­ sent an easier target for the guns. Especially was this noticeable during the pursuit of a beaten foe. A battery, bold and well placed, may deny a whole road to the retreating columns, and long lengths of "train" may have tot be abandoned on the inroad of a few accurately directed aheQtt.^-Saturday iteview. ;% ••j ^ 'f * Aerial Machine.
