Raising Fast Horses.

A farmer puts in word on this sub
ject to his brother farmers about after
this style:
Ii you have common or uncommon
stock do not undertake to raise fast
horses. If you do you will be disap-
pointed at least ninety-nine times out of
a hundred, and in the one hundreth
case it will cost you twice the value of
yoir horse to get the speed ont Of him.
Raise strong substantial horses that
will sell for good price, or that will do
the work you wish them; they will pay
always. '''.' '.'0 t

Training Cattle to Jump.

=
A western farmer says he made it
rule that whenever cattle are made to
pass fence, whether through bars or
"slip-gap," to leave one rail for them to
pass under. This gives them a down
ward tendency, and lessons their inclin-
alton to jump or look upward, as they
are sure to do when a lazy attendant
throws down part of the rails and
makes them vault the rest Cattle may
be taught to go over any fence by the
careful training they often get for this
end, and performed as follows: ~.
First, starve them, or give them poor
feed, which will make them light and
restless. AS soon as they get over the
lowest part Of the fence after better pro-
vender, make them jump back again,
and put on one more rail, saying: II
guess that will keep them out" Next
day Gas of course they will be in mis-
chief again repeat the process, adding
another rail; in short time they win
take care of themselves, and harvest
the crops without charge.-7ucter's

A PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.

A word will fill the little heart
With pleasure and with pride:
II Is harsh, n cruel thing
That such can be denied.
And yet how many weary hours
These Joyous creatures know:
How much Of sorrow and restraint
They to their elders owe.
How much they suffer from onr faults.
How much from our mistakes;
How often, too, mistaken zeal
An infants misery makes
We oycrrule and Oycrtcach:
We curb and We conlnc,
And put the heart to school too soon,
To learn our narrow line
NO; only taught by love to love
Seems chIdhood's natural task:
Affection, gentleness, and hope,
Are all Its brief years ask. L. Z. L.

OF THE
r. FARMER, snr

If young men could only realize the
consciousness OF. independence that is
feIt by the farmer, We should have few
er men who are following some preca-
Hous calling, and every day dreading
that they may be thrown out of employ
ment. Compare the office holder, or
Office seeker, for instance, with the
farmer, and note the difference. The
one can hold up hishead with conscious
independence, while the other rs cring-
ing to power and patronage, and Is
afraid to say that his soul is his own.
Even the industrious mechanic has to
depend in some measure upon the good
will of his employer If the mechanic
gets sick, or meets with an accident
that disabies him, he must depend upon
the charity Of the world, unless he has
been fortunate enough to have provided
for the day Of trouble, which is too sell
dom the case with most mechanics.
But if the farmer gets sick, his grain,
grass, and pasture grow all the same, if
he keeps well forward with his work,
which every good farmer win do.
The writer Of this ear, remember
when farming in Jackson county offered
few inducements to young men who
had a laudable ambition to make any,
thing Of themselves but that day has
passed, and although farming in our
county is yet in its infancy, yet farmer
can take his place in the very highest
ranks among our people: t aaa,
Too many farmers yet neglect TO
beautliy their homes, and render them
as attractive as those-of the dwellers in
the town andcity. True. the hog pen
is not now seen in front of the residence;
but how few farmers cultivate flowers,
plant shrubbery. vines, &c. Farmers
have peculiar facilities for having beau
itul homes, and this Woald incrcdsetlieif

hem in after life to this independent

A COward's ResOrt.-We are with
out words (says the Tiffin Tribune) Of suf-
ficient force to properly condemn the cow
ardly act which was accomplished, by some
"dark lantern scoundrel, on Thursday
evening,while the large audience, gathered
at the City Hall, were quietly listening to
the eloquent lecture of Mr.. Allen T.
Thompson, on the subject Of Intemper-
ance. Parties who do not like the move
ment about to be inaugurated in our city,
were not content with frequent Interrupt
tions by running up and down the stairs,
and making unreasonable applause
meant for intimidation or insult, but some
sneaking coward, moved by the same i'm
pulse which moves the assassin to stab in
the dark, hurled large stone through the
window. We are informed by parties who
know, that the missile was intended for
the lecturer. 1t, however, missed it's mark,
striking lady in the audience Miss Maria
Coleman, near Melmore), causing the blood
to flow from her forehead quite freely. The
lady was obliged, in consequence, to leave
the Hall before the lecture was concluded.
1t is needless to inquire after the cause of
this wanton attack, for the quarter from
whence the stone came may sufficiently
explain the motive. The act was tacit
confession Of the fact that total abstinence
is the right cause, and intemperance the
wrong. 1t was a stronger argument for
the reform which the lecturer was adyo-
eating than his own earnest appeals.

Rally the System.-After a disease
has been conquered, there is still the weak
ness that it leaves behind it to be removed
Convalescence is tedious affair. If the
enfeebled and fiaccid muscles, the shatter-
ed nerves, the thin and watery blood could
speak, they would cry for help. In too
many cases such help as is given them is
not of the right kind. They kindle tenn
porary fame, which is mockery. Their
effect passes, and the last stote Of him who
uses them is worse than the first.
Not such is the effect Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. There is no drawback to
their toning properties. Balsalnic plants
and barks and roots contribute their re-
storative juices to render this soothing and
strengthening preparation PROTECTIVE
and REMEDIAL agent. Its basis is the only
pure stimulant which has ever been pro-
duced, containing no fusel oil or any 9th
er deleterious element. The most careful
and skilful chemists have analyzed the
Bitters, and pronounce them harmless.
This is scientific testimony; but the tes-
timony of the hundreds of thousands who
have experienced the preventive and cilra-
tive effects Of the Great Vegetable Tonic
and Alternative of modern times is still
more conclusive. In fever and ague, dys-
pepsia, billiousness, nervous complaints,
general debility, and chronic complaints
it is as nearly infallible as anything in
this fallihle world can be. Sold every

Fairbanks' standard scales.-1r

Fairbanks Standard Sca1es.--1n
all business transactions requiring the use
of scales, it is of great Importance to both
buyer and seller that only such should be
used as are RELIABLE; otherwise, vexa-
tious discrepancies in weights, and often
times serious losses and litigations, are
sure to follow.
1t is everywhere acknowledged, and that
after the most extensive use in all branch
es of business for more than thirty years
and the most thorough and varied tests,
that Fairbanks Scales are unequalled by
any others in correctness, convenience and
durability. They are adapted to every
branch of business in which weighing is
required, and our stock dealers and large
farmers should have one of these designed
for weighing cattle and other live stock.
