Abraham Lincoln must by future
generations which , read the history
of h's life, not yet altogether made,
be regarded as one of the most unique
characters in history. Even to those
who by force ot circumstances were
most in his company', he was ever de
veloping a new side. Grim, revenge
ful Sumner, his War Secretary,- never
quite knew how to take him. Sumner
was for exterminating such elements
m dared to ask questions. It is re
lated that once some bne had refused
to understand an order, or at all events
had not obeyfd. ' I believe I'll ait
down." said Sumner, "and give that
man a piece ot my mind." "Do so"
sail Lincoln, "writ, him now while
you have it 'on your 'rn'ibd. Make it
sburn: cut him all up." Sumner did
Sot need a second invitation. '' It was a
one cruncher that be read to the-
President. "That's" right," said Abe,
"that' a good one." "Who can I get
to send It by ? mused the Secretary:
"Send v HI" replied Lincoln; send
It I Why, idnt send it at all Tear it
up. You have freed your mind on tne
subject, and that Is all thats necessary.
Tear it, up. Yoo never want to send
such letters; I never do." -

Is absolute rest good for the soil?
Sir J. B. Lawes says not. On the con
trary he claim to have proved by ex
periments' oil repeated thnt land at
rest and unoccupied by a crop wastes
and loses fertility. Soil kept co.i-
free advertising, so that every farmer
who wished to put a fnir brand of but
ter on the market made up his heard
of Jerney cat'le, -while at the same
time tbeir customers daman led Jersey
butter. Such was the pressure from
this source that the Jersey breed re
celved an enormous boom and aa
stantly at work, he says, is gathering result, almost fabulous prices were

What make, a good story teller?
You miktht aa well try to analyze a
ual decomposition, which is effected
by the roots of (he crop It nourishes,
Roots have ability io decomposo the
mineral elemrnta bt the soil and to
gather matter from tb. air, both of
which are changed Into plant food.
When In a parous condition, too, the
soil oxidizes organio. matter and ac
cumulates nitrogen, but it muse be
kept porous, to he efTuctlve. Lence,
I when not actually, growing crops; It
should still be kept active by working
tt witn tne plow, paaticiiiarly manur
inz it. There Is a prevalent idea that
laud losses much of ita manuriul treas
ures by percolation nfier rains. Ex
perience proves mtber tbe onposite.
Sandy land that lias leea salted will
show in dry weather follow leg rain tbe
fine white saline efHoresoenco on ita
surface, anJ clasy soil will show tbe
same to a much greater extrnt. The
lesson from practical facia like these is
obvious. Plow your fields fa the fall,
incorporating each with a heavy coat
wh;o this boo-.n was at lu height, and
consequently received but scant atten
tion. It was bard work to draw tbe
attention of cattle breeders to tbi
comparatively unknown stock and so
few farmers have known much about
them. The Jersey boom is past, how
ever, and the time will coon come
when farmer will find that they can
aflord to judge cattle only by tbolr
merrits. Moreover, the supply of
Guernseys Is comparatively limited;
the beat strains are in the hands of
breeders who are lu no hurry .to sell.

I have always fouud bran a good
feed for nearly all kinds of ntock, and
especially so with growing pigs and
sows that are suckliug young pigs.
While tb. pigs are young they 1041st be
fed through tbe sow, and otp of the
best plans of do'ng this Is to feed them
liberally on milk and bran made into
slop. Some other materials of course
should be used, such as ground oat. or
oats and barley mixed. Or when they
cannot be had conveniently, corn or
corn meal should be used. But bran
can be made the principal food and es
pecially during tbe rpriog and sum
mer. During the winter, unless, tbe
weather U above the fVtfrage, some
corn should be added to the ration in
order to preserve animal heat. ' But
corn Is too beating and constipating to
make an exclusive feed to youog grow
ing stock of any kind; Bran haa the
opposi;. effect, and call be used to an
