Henry, the brother of Frank, on first enter

of his class, and few weeks afterwards was
detained at home by illness, during which
several of the foremost boys went each day
to inquire after him, and marked the lessons
in his books, that he might know what to
prepare, and not lose on his return.

DECREASING THE WEIGHT OF WOOL
An exchange says some farmers have incroas-
cd the average yield of wool in their Aocks,
by weighing each fleece as it was shcared,
and branding the weight on the animal from
which it came, and selecting those for sale or
slaughter that had the lowest weigh of fleece
marked upon them.

A young man went from South Carolina
and placed himself under the tuition of Judge
j., of Marietta Georgia, expecting TO be
admitted in fowmonths TO all the rights and
privileges of full hedged attorney at law
Occasionally he would call on his neighbor
who occupied the adjoining Office, and oxpi-
ate freely upon his progress in Blackstone and
his expectations at the approaching oNamina-
ton. Upon one of these occasions his friend
proposed that hc should examine him little
Though no lawyer by asking few simple
questions which might suggest themselves to
his mind in looking over the book he was
then reading. Accordingly his friend took
the book, and turning back few pages asked
the young man;

'An oath Of all, giancc;" said he, "yes.
reckon running his fingers through his hair
and trying to look very wise, IAN oath Of al

His friend did not proceed any further with
the exam nation, but advised the would-be
lawyer to drop Blackstone and take up Web

CGyILIrY IS A FoRruNE.-Civilty is a for
tune itself, for courteous man always sue
eeeds well in life and that even when persons
of ability sometimes fail. The famous Duke
Of Marlborough is case in point 1t was said
of him by one contemporary, that his agreeable
manners often converted an enemy into a
friend and, by another that it was more
pleasing to be denied favor by his Grace,
than to receive one from other men. The gra-
cious manner of Charles James Fox preserved
him from personal dislike, even at time
when he was politically the most unpopular
man in the kingdom. The history Of the
country is full of such examples of success
obtained by ciyility. The experience of eve
ny man furnishes, if we but recall the past,
fequent instances where conciliatory manners
have made the fortunes Of physicians, lawyers,
dyines, politicians, merchants, and, indeed
individuals Of all pursuits. On being intro
duced to stranger, his ahability, or the re-
verse, creates simultaneously a prejudice
against him To men, civility is, in fact, what
beauty is to a woman; it is a general pass
port to favor, a letter of recommendation
written in language that every stranger under.
stands. The best Of men have often injured
themselves byirriiability aud consequent rude
ness, as the greatest scoundfels have frequent
ly succeeded by their plausible manners, OF

Gus one has twice the chance for fortune.

wlNTERING CALvEs-HAY vs.. GRAIN.

WlNTER1NG CALVES-HAY vs.. GRAIN.
For many years have had uniform good
success in wintcring calves without grain, and
can fully endorse II. T. BIS theory that, II
good hay is freely and regularly supplied,
grain Is mcasurably unnecessary Wintering
and summoring rcciprocally affect each other
20 such degree that one cannot well write Of
ono without reference to the other. Let it
be promised them that the calves have had
milk, and summer pasture, sufficient to keep
them growing in good shape and condition.
For winter quarters assign them an acre lot
adjoining the barn. with low open shed,
made very tight and warm on three sides and
overhead. kept well Uttered with straw, in one
corner Of said lot. A rack or mangcr, so con-
structed that they cannot waste the hay, is
freely and regularly supplied with good,
bright tender hay. cut before hdrucsi, in such
quantity that said manger is never entirely
empty, except when a little brine, sprinklod
on the oats induces the calves to cat them
clean. Water at will. With this care my
calves always kept growing and thriving
through the winter, and If they have good
pasture through the ensuing summer, and
good keeping the next winter, ! can scarcely
ever keep them longer than the month of Feb
ruary. because butchers passing 10y will offer
such high prices for them that it would be
folly to do so.
The question whether grain is necessary in
wintcring stock, depends for its answer very
much on the quality Of the hay provided In
some sections Of the country where have
been, good, choice hay is unknown You
may visit twenty different barns at chorc time
without seeing the article. hard, ripe,
wiry. latc-cut and pale colorcd commodity,
called hay, certainly needs some grain as an
accompaniment. In these sections Of country
advocates may be found for the late cutting Of
meadows Cause why the hay goes fur
ther. So would a stone fore-stick in the fire.
place last longer than one of hickory.
| once worked pair Of farm horses for sew
ora years on grass in the summer, and hay IN
the winter, with less than the contents of a
barrel Of grain per annum. They were in good
health. flesh and spirits. sold one OF them
at fourteen years of age, which was soon re-
sold for eight his actions and appearance cor
responding with that age.
In the spring of the year, when Sleeps ap-
petite for hay fails, and the springing grass is
unsuhstautial, ! think grain may be fed to
great advantage. y. II.
