How he had him!

A man named Wells kept tavern In
one of our Western villages; hut though
his house had very good name, it was
more than he had himself; for it was
surmised by his neighbors that he used a
great deal of fodder, corn, &c., for which
he never gave an equivalent, though it
had never been clearly proved upon him.
Early one morning he was met by an
acquaintance, named Wilkes, as he was
driving before him heifer, which he had
most probably borrowed from some far
mer.
"Hallo, Wells, where did you get that
heifer?"
bought her of Col. Stevens" was the
unhesitating reply.
"What did you pay for her?"
"Twenty dollars said Wells, as he
hurried on.
About an hour afterwards, as Wilkes
was sitting in Wells bar-rrom, Col. Ste
vens. After few minutes conversation,
Wilkes said:
"a fine animal that you sold Wells !"
81 don't understand you; l never sold
Wells any animal"
"Didn't you? Why, I met him this
morning with heifer, which he said he
bought of you for twenty dollars"
"He did, Ell? Well, since he said so,
he has got to pay me for her," said Ste
vens.
Wells entered soon after, and Stevens,
stepping up to him, said:
"Come, Wells, I'll trouble you for the
money for that heifer; it was cash bar
gain, you know"
81 never bought any heifer Of you."
"Don't you remember you bought one
af me for twenty dollars Here's Wilkes
can prove it."
"No, he can't"
"You told me SO this morning" said
Wilkes.
A curious expression passed over
Wells face; he felt himself cornered-he
had either to tell where he got the ami
NAL, or lose the twenty dollars-and
thinking it not safefor him to do the first,
he pulled out his wallet, counted out the
money, and handed it to Stevens, saying:
so l did-so / did. / had forgotten
all about it, you must excuse me-"

The Tobacco CrOD.

The value of the tobacco exported from
the United States last year was nearly
five times that of our sea products, City
per cent more than the products Of the
forest, not quite three millions ef dollars
less than the whole export Of vegetable
food, and rather over an eighth Of the
value of the cotton crop. The tobacco
plantations Of the United States are esti-
mated by the United States Economist as
yielded from thirty-fve TO forty millions
of dollars annually. For the last forty
years the crop has shown a steady In
crease; 1t is, however, chiefly during late
years that the production has most large
ly extended. In 1921 the value Of to-
bacco exported was 5,64S. 962, and for
fifteen years the amount taken for foreign
consumption continued to average about
that value. In 1886 the export reached
S10,05S, $40, and in 1S4I, S12, ,575,703.
from which point il fuctuated down to
about "a, 500, 900, until 1876 the shipment
amounted to SS, AIS, $40. The total value
of exports of leaf tobacco, for the fiscal
year ending 30th June, 1859, was S21 =
074 OBS. In 1856 the income derived by
Great Britain from duties on American
leaf tobacco was SIS, ,297, ASS; by France
and average Of $4,000, 900, making an
aggregate for both Of S34, 4,000 900, or
exceeding by over so per cent. the total
value Of leaf exported from the United
States.-ErchaRge. .F,.

From the American Farmer.
About the Strawberry.

This is a hackneyed subject surely ;
still, as strawberry beds are by no means
common, a little plain advice may increase
their number. Most people who do not
cultivate this very desirable fruit, think
that it requires great deal of extra care
and expense, and laboring under this
mistake, they are deferred from commen-
cling its culture. This plant will accom-
modate itself to any soil and any location
and surely bears neglect better than any
other plant 1t pays for extra care soon
er than most plants, but with moderate
care it yields very fair crops of very fair
fruit.
l have few plain rules that guide me
in my treatment of the strawberry, which
if followed to the letter, will prove them
selves good rules. lst. Never have the
beds so wide as to require the gatherer
even to lean on them. I'd. Never use
animal manure, Sd. Keep the beds
clear of weeds and grass. find that any
time from August to the blooming sea-
son will answer for transplanting. The
first requisite is to have the beds in good
order. Lay them off five feet wide, then
spread evenly over them good coating
well rotted wood-pile manure or woods
mould, which ir to be deeply spaded in.
During a moist or rainy spell sst the
plants in 3 rows and from u to "a inches
apart in the row. l never permit the
runners to take entire possession of my
beds, but keep them back by pinching in
the spring, and fall wedding. BY this
treatment my beds are pretty we'll cover
ed without being matted. After the fall
wedding, the beds are sowed over with
wood ashes, and during the early winter,
os there are opportunities, they are COW
cred over with wood-pile manure or spent
tan. During the early spring, when the
beds are covered with young green leaves
they are well busted with plaster or shell
lime. end when the blooms show them
selves, they are again sowed over with
ashes. These sowlngs are always made
in damp weather This comprises the
entire culture required to ensure this
fruit in perfection. ] have never known
a bed too old to bear, and believe, if ma
naged as above directed, they will last at
least 80 years. This cry about new va
rieties is all fudge. There is a great
deal more in the culture than the kind,
and the old sorts are good enough for
anybody. have the Early Scarlet, Ho-
vey and Peabody's Seeding, which three
ripen in succession and furnish an abun-
dance of unsurpassed fruit, which lasts
until we have SO many raspberries we do
not miss the strawberries. The Early
Scarlet and Hovey Seeding are well
tried, well proven and well known. The
Peabody is a fine, large, late berry,
keeps well and continues in bearing long
er than any othef / have ever known; all
of which qualities are very desirable. |
obtained these plants when they were
selling at SIS per dozen, and to the origin
ator Of this seeding I am indebted for all
that I know in regard TO the culture Of
the strawberry. In the Patent Office

incline 10 think that were our minds
capable of apprehending the essential
facts of the life we see, we should be
convinced that happiness is one of the
most evenly distributed of all human
possessions. The laborer loves his wife
and children as well as the lord, and
takes into his soul all the tender and pre-
cious influences that flow to him through
their love as well as his. Food tastes as
sweet to the plowman as to the placeman.
if the latter have the dainter dish, the
former has the keener appetite. Into all
ears the brook pours the same stream of
music, and the birds never vary their
programme with reference to their audi
ence. The spring scatters violets broad
cast, and grass grows by the roadside as
well as in the park. The breeze that
tosses the curlS of your little ones ana
mine is not softer In it's caresses than
those who bound over the velvet to meet
it. The sun shines, the rain falls, the
trees dress themselves in green, the thun-
der rolls and the stars flash for all alike.
Health knows nothing of human dislinc-
tions, and abides with him who treats it
best. Sleep, the gentle angel does not
come at the call of power, and never
proffers its ministry for gold. The senses
take no bribes of luxury; but deal as hon
estly and generously by the poor as by
the rich; and the President of the United
States would whistle himself blind before
he could call our dog from Timothy
TitcoRlb.

any sort always command a ready sale as
long as market exists for that species
of commodity. A large demand exists
for fax, hemp and wool, and one country
provides only a modicum of the raw ma
terial consumed in her own factories, to
say nothing of the acquisitions Of foreign
markets.
Professor Johnston strongly urged their
culture in Canada. Russia produces hemp
and fax in greater amount than any other
country. Much Of our soil and climate
resembles those of these countries, and
none is better adapted to the production
of these articles from Maine 10 Texas.
We do wrong when we give this natter
so little consideration. Mules. as draught
animals, are coming into great demand,
and the raising Of them is much neglect
ed. The value Of the animal is compar-
atively little known. He IS thriftier and
more enduring and longer lived than the
horse, and all disposition in him to become
stubborn and intractable, can be overcome
under proper care in rearing.
There are also timber growing and
fruit raising, both worth much greater
attention than they receive, and holding
open a wide door to the enterprising cul-
turist. These are branches Of husbandry,
disregarded by farmers ina great measure,
but certainly offer inducements for thein-
vestment of his capital, with sure promise
of abundant reward under the exercise
of business talent, and with ordinary
capacity. Almost all the departments Of
agriculture now pursued, offer greater
reward to tie ingenious business farmer
than they generally afford under ordinary
treatment. To such a man, Industrious,
active, refecting, alert, there is no branch
Of husbandry which is not capable Of
yielding an abundant support. Q. P.s.
