A friend of ours with more taste than money is constantly sur prising her acquaintances with little ex hibitions of ingenuity. One of the latest of her achievement is this : Somewhere about the house was an old-fashioned, rush bottomed rocker, a relic of the days of our grandparents, a comfortable chair enough to sit in, but wearing a corres pondingly time-worn appearance. Out of its hiding place my friend brought this uncomely affair and applied a couble of coat of vormillion to it, which quite me tamorphosed its appearance. A square of homespun linen, old nut good and strong ami mellowed hy time into a soft cream color, made a capital cover for a cushion to the same. A spray of flowers mingled with wheat heads, worked in crewels, serves as ornamentation for this cushion, and there isn't a prettier chair in town for the amount of time and trou ble expended upon it. Plowing Sod. It is a question raroly decided among farmers at what time it is best to plow sod for a corn crop. This question is best settled by considering what is expected of this oporation. The great point is that the corn crop shall procure a large portion of its nutriment from it ; another is that the corn may ta planted on fresh clean ground so that it may get ahead of the weeds by rapid and vigorous germination. How, then, can these important points be best secured? Clearly by permitting the herliago to grow as long as possible, and by defer ring the plowing until the hist moment. Then a large quantity of the most ac ceptable food for the young corn is plowed under ; the soil is mellow, moist and fresh ; planting is done under the best conditions. The seeds of weeds will sprout quickly and a light harrow ing before the corn is up will destroy the germs and clean the ground of myriads of them, lightening the after-labor of cul tivating the crop. A top-dressing of ma nure on the sod before the plowing will be a great assistance. PORTLAND MARKET. ACTIVITY CONTINUES IN THE' MER CHANDISE! MARKET.
