HIS COVENANT WITH GOD.
Qaeer Bocament Binned hy m Ne Bnp

Enos W. ' Boise, town clerk ot
tlandfolxi, bas in bis possession an
interesting document, n6w -tyellow
with age, but with' ink dear, and in
fe remtiVknbly legible band, which
.purports to be a covenant with God
-drawn by David Boise, one of Mr.
Boise's ancestors. The covenant is
dated April 18, 1?3, and was clearly a
work of great moment to its author,
ile was evidently in a mood Of great
xloubt as to his salvation and the re
I suit of his errors and in a period of
, Veligioiis fervor sat himself down
' and wrote out bis state of mind. It
I cannot be learned that such cove
bants were the usual custom with
the men of those daye and this doc-
1 uinenl of Mr. Boise's is a curiosity.
Its speiling is not exactly that of to
tlay, and there are other peculiari
ties in the capitalization rind the.
like. The covenant reads os followsi

nest boxos, tarn it end for end, thereby
placing the end that fs closed up in the
roosting room, which "prevents the other
hens from liothoring or annoying her.
It is so arranged that the sitting hen
can go out iu a littlo yard, scratch and
dust without any inconvenience or an

feed room bus shelves in it and a loft
(which is reached by a ladder made fast
up tho side) where the feed is kept, Fig.

of boards, with tho same slant as tho

Professor Sweet, in a recent issutt of
TLB American . &aohiuist . has ome
striking suggestions to offer upon the
subject of good roads, of Oar lack and
onr need of them in the United States,
of some apparent reasons for oar defi
ciencies and of the direction in which
the remedy may lie. If any better me
ohauic can find a more pertinent and
distinctly mechanical topio or one more
in need of soand advice and able and
earnest advocacy, we do not know
Where to find the combination.
It ought not to bs as it is. Wo should
toot need to say a word to onr readers in
advocacy of the steel ball or the Meel
roller as an antifriction device, and it
Would seem a manifest absurdity for ns
to call attention to tbe fact that tho
success of the ball or roller does not re
side in either alone, and that smooth
and nsy running is not accomplished
by any bomber of either without suita
ble paths to travel in. The accuracy of
the surfaces with which they move in
contact is quite as esseotiuJ a part of
tho arrangement us are tbo balls or roll"
xrs themselves.
How is it different with the wheeled
Vobiclo, and why should it be any more
toecfessary to ssy that 'the wrgou wheel
heeds a smooth surface to travel on than
to say that the ball bearing or the roller
bcuiiug surfaces' should bo true tuid
smooth? Our wheeled vehicles the coun
try through have cost a pile of money,
and tbe menus ef their propulsion are
fcostly. What if (he general cost ot con
veyance were cut in two and one-balf
thrown away or the speed of all (raffle
were proportionately increased? This

Dow It Compares With Red fcidrs la
- MOW York State.
Much has been, written about the hab
its and value of alfalfa hi the far west.
tVe have also boeu told how,' here and
there, eastern farmers have succeeded
with this plant Doaens of questions
have come from farmers east of the Al
leghanica who wish to know how alfalfa
differs from red clover in habit of growth
and in soil requirements. ' The follow
ing from New York state formers, writ
ten to Bund New Yorker, will doubtless
answer some of these questions: A cor
respondent writing from Onondaga
county suys:
la this locality alfalfa scorns to do
woll on pretty nearly all soils on which
It has been tried, providing the ground
was thoroughly well fitted arid the crop
got a good start. It seems, however, to
do best on a soil that has a porous, nn
dcrdrained subsoil, where the water
level doos not come bp Very high. It is
a rank feeder and responds freely to
thorough applications of fertilizer. I
beliovo that any soil that will grow rod
clover well will grow alfalfa, providing
other conditions are riirht. We havo
taken four tons of good hay; from an
acre In the throe ., cuttings from the
whole Hold. When it comes to feeding
alfalfa, some think it far superior to
clover hay. ' 1 believe that In ordinary
work on the form it will be found fully
as good, and if cut early enough it will
last in the ground a great deal longer.
From Madison county comes the re
port that biest results with alfalfa have
boon obtained by seeding with oats.
This farmer has grown alfalfa five years
and is pleased with it. He writes:
"Alfalfa should not be sown until bard
trosts are over. Tho seed will not grow
as roudily as red clover, as it is a native
of a warm climate. My ground had
been well maeured, before seeding, with
stable manttfo. I used no fertilizer with
tho seed. I top dressed it iu the fall
after tho last cutting with stable ma
nure with great results. "
Another New York farmer writes:
Tho best soil for alfalfa is any dry soil ,
where ordinary clover docs well or docs
not heave. With ns it has done bust on
'tho f idgVs and on laud somewhat stony.
We have seeded with barley and oats
lightly sown, also sown alone, but we
believe that tho better way is to sow j
one-miu nusuei ninuo per nore un rau iy
in the spring as tho soil will work mel
low and dry and brash it in with the
smoothing harrow or woedor.
A (armor who has 80 acres in alfalfa
'says that it is ahead of any other bay.
Ho has had best results front sowing iu
the early svToig with barky on good,
deop, gravelly soil. Ho suys, however,
that it can be grown to advantage on
tony soil Where red clover will grow.
A PreTentlve of Potote Scab.
At the Vermont station tho disinfec
tion of seed tubers at a preventive of
potato scab was investigated, eorrosive
sublimate solution being used. A gen
eral sunminry of the results shows that
smooth seed taken from a crop having
more or less scab and planted in clean
toll gave a somewhat scabby crop, but
when disinfected and planted in clean
soil garo a perfectly clean crop. Very
scabby seod washed and disinfected iu
tho same way gave a crop slightly scab
by, but much loss so than similar un
treated Vhbcrs. Smooth tubers disinfect
ed and planted in infected soil produced
it crop considerably freer from scab than
When untreated seed tubers were nsed,
bat iu no case was it entirely free.
Treatment of tubers, when performed
just prior to plsntiujr, iu all esses re
tarded germination. In no case was
ihnre a gam or loss in tbo total yield
which could be attributed to treatment
of the seed sufficiently largo to bo of
any significance.

Christmas Legend.
Howiaon 'a "Uppor Canada," pub
lished ill the onrly part of tbe cen
tury, contains reference to a belie!
among the North American Indians
which is Htrongoly similar to one of
our Christian legends. We all know
that the cattle on Christmas night
are said to kneel in tbuir stalls, but
we are not nlono in thut fancy,
Thin traveler says :
When it was midnight, I walked
tout and strolled in the woods nonr
the house. The moon had risen und
poured a flood of light un the silent
world below. The motionless trees
fitrctchod thoir houghs toward a
cloudless sky,, and the rustling of a
withered leaf or tho distunt howl of
a wolf alone broko upon my our,
I was suddenly roUHod from n de
licious reverie by observing a dark
object moving cautiously among
(no treo8i
At first I fancied it was a
bear, but a nearer inspection diticov
erd an Indian oti all fours.
For a moment I felt unwilling to
throw mysolf In bin way, lest he
should be meditating some sinister
design against me. However, on
his waving his hand and putting bis
finger on his Hp, I approached hilii
and inquired what he did there.
"Me watch to see tbe doer kneel,"
replied b& "This is Christmas
bight, and all tbe deer full on their
knees to tho Great Bpirit and look
up."

In the central part of the ruins ot
Copan, Honduras, are tho great py
ramidal foundations on which the
temples arose. The principal ruina
are grouped about a main structure,
a vast irregular pilo, rising from
tbe plain in steps and terraces and
terminating in huge terraced clova
Hons, each lopped by the romaina
of a temple. The summit of tho
highest of these is about 130 feet
above tbe level of the river which
tape the foundations of the fallen
structures.- Only tho foundation!
and parts of tbe lower walls of the
temples now remain in position, and
these are marked with many biero
glyphio inscriptions, riurrouuding
the temples and palace to the dis
tance of a mile or more on every,
aide are tberemains of atone bouses,
probably tho dwellings of the nobles
fT n fntrtnia 'I'hsk unm i-tt t j,r t lira
and wealthier-citizens, and beyond
these are found innuinerablo stone
foundations without any remains of
Superstructure. It is conjectured
that on these stood wooden bouses,
the dwellings of the poorer classes,
of which every trace bus disnppenr
