SING AWAY YoUR GRIEF.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher gives the following excellent advice:
We can sing away our cares easier than we can
reason them away. The birds are the earliest TO
sing in the morning; the birds are more without
care than anything else know of. Sing in the
evening. Singing is the last thing the robins do.
When they have done their daily work-when
they have flown their last fight, and picked up
their last morsel of food, and cleansed their bills
on napkin Of a bcugh, then on top twig, they
sing one song of praise. | know they sleep
sweeter for il. They dream music; for sometimes
in the night they break forth in singing, and stop
suddenly after the first note, startled by their
own voice. q, that we might sing evening and
morning, and let song touch song all the way
through. As was returning from the country
the other evening. between six and seven O'Clock,
bearing basket Of flowers, met man that was
apparently the tender of mason. BE looked
brick and mortar all over. be had worked the
entire day, and he had the appearance Of q man
that would not be afraid of work. He was walk
ing on with light step, and singing to himself as
he passed down the street, though he had been
working the whole day, and nearly the whole week.
Were ii not that my good thoughts always come
too late, should have given him a large allOt.
ment OF my flowers. II be had not been out of
sight when the idea occurred to me, | should
hailed him ard said I" Have you worked all day ~
"0f course have,D he would have said. "Are
you sipgiDgr "0f course l am" Then take
these flowers home and give them to yonr wife,
and tell her what blessing she has in you"
o, that We could put songs under our burdens
o, that we could extract the sense of sorrow By
song Then these things would not poison so
much. Sing in the house. Teach your children
to sing. When troubles come, 90 at them with
songs. When griefs arise, sing them down. Lift
the voice Of praise against cares. Praise God by
singing that will lift you above trials Of every
among Gods people upon earth, song Is the sp-
propriate language of Christian feeling.

Raising Tomatoes.

HARDLY year passes but the different
agricultural and horticultural journals
contain one or more articles on the cult
walton of the tomato. If you want them
for early market, the seed should be
planted in hot-bed, about the Goth OF
February in the latitude of Chicago to
central Illinois, but if much farther north
not before the list to the 10th of March
When they are two inches high, trans
plant them in new bed, three inches
apart, and when they cover the ground
transplant again (still under glass; six or
eight inches apart. Grow them as slowly
as possible; the night temperature not
much below so degrees, the day tempera-
ture 60 to so degrees.
Transplant into the open air when all
danger of frost is over and the ground is
warm, say from the 25th Of May to June
LIST, five feet apart, upon ridges or broad
hills Do not put them on trellises, unless
you are curious to see how much a bushel
oftomatoes might cost, but let them run
upon brush, or something to keep them of
the ground, if it is heavy soil.
Cultivate well, pinching off struggling
shoots from time to time, and you will
have early tomatoes and good ones
Eureka and Keyes are good early sorts
and Large Red or Valencia Red are good
late sorts. fthey are simply for house
hold use, you may safely wait until March
10th to 18th before you plant in hot-beds

Effect Of Bright Red on Animals.

WE have never been able to arrive at a
solution of the curious effects of the sight
of scarlet or brilliant orange or crimson
on some animals. No treatise on natural
history we ever have seen gives satisfac-
tory explanation of facts which must often
have been noticed by the most unobserv-
ant. An exchange says:
Many persons have unquestionably lost
their lives in consequence of wearing arti-
Giles of dress which provoked domeslicat-
ed animals to such a pitch of fury as to
lead to melancholy results. Females, for
example, in attempting to cross pasture,
wearing red shawl, red covering for
the head, a scarlet dress, flowing scarlet
ribbons, where bulls are grazing, hazard
their lives. Oxen, otherwise peaceably
disposed, become intensely Infatuated at
some seasons by the sight of bright red
handkerchiels, or almost any article of
female dress of that particular hue. It is
equally curious that turkeys manifest the
same restlessness and ultimate excitement
at red flags or red dresses. The turkey
cock on such occasions assumes extraordi-
nary dignity, gobbling most uproariously
and creating an immense excitement in his
family, not accustomed to the sight. Near
ly all the wild grazing animals exhibit ex-
IRENE surprise, if not positive fright. when
red cloth floats before them.-Scientifc

The True Medical Doctrine.

Nature, when struggling with disease, indicates
Enthusiastically the kind of assistance she re-
quires. In cases of nervous weakness and gen.
eral debility the feeble pulse, the lacklusre eye

melancholy vissge, inform as plainly as II eacn

NEEDED. 1t does not require the aid of medical
education to understand this dumb appeal for new
vigor, from an exhausted system. Every reader
of these lines can comprehend it just as well as
the graduates of physicians college. Let not
this demand of enfeebled nature be neglected.
Respond to it promptly by commencing course
of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, a pre-
paration uniting, in their highest excellence the
properties of a sTIMULANT, an INvIGoRANT, ana
an Alternative. Before three days have elapsed,
from the taking of the first dose, a marked bene-
fetal change will he manifest in the bodily ana
mental condition Of the patient. The u-se Will
be stronger and more regular, the eye will begin
to lose its dull expression, the muscular and
nervous ystems to recover their tension, and the
spirits to improve. Persevere, and complete
revivifcation of the depressed animal and mental
powers is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and oil
iousness, the same salutary results will be ob-
tanned. The appetite will revive, the sailowness
OF the skin disappear. and all the distressing
symptoms which accompany disorders OF the
stomach and liver. will ranidly subside The
cold of winter often intensfes these complaints
by checking the perspratory action, by which so
much morbid matter is evaporated through the
pores In milder weather, aud therefore the BIT
TIERS especially useful to the dyspepuc and

Providing Fuel.
American

THOSE who live on farms embracing a
good section of timber land, and use wood
instead of coal for fuel, should improve the
season of frost and snow for filling their
wOodsheds with fuel for years use. No
portion of a farmers buildings pays better
or is more convenient than one for storing
wood. 1t need not be built specially for
the purpose, but with little extra expense
can be made capable of storing many
things which are too often left in the field
or elsewhere, and, when wanted, difficult
to find. One end of the structure should
be appropriated TO wood, where it can be
piled up in the winter and ready for use as
the season advances. 1t is good plan to
commence filling early in the winter, let
ting green wood occupy the place of the
dry, adding daily or weekly of green, as
the dry is used up. When the wood lot is
not too remote from the dwelling, it will be
found cheap, easy and expeditions way
to chop down the trees, clear them of
limbs and draw or snake them bodily
alongside of the dollhouse, and there
chop and split them for USE When the
ground is frozen and well oiled with snow,
yoke of Oxen-two are better where the
distance is considerable-will draw tree
making a cord of wood more or less, with
the greatest case, especially afterSa path
for the log or tree has been once broken
and rendered solid by nights frost. 1t
is economical, when nothing else is press
ing to be done, to draw three or four trees to
the wood house, leaving them somewhat
apart from each other, turn out the team
| if the work is to be done by the teamster,
and then chop, split and pile away in the
shed what is on hand. This gives room
| another
wood-hOuse is sufficiently stocked for the
/ year. In this way the wood is handled
but once, and the chips are at the door
ready, when the snow leaves in the spring
to be gathered and placed under cover foI
summer use. We tried this mode of fur.
nishing fuel during several winters, and
found it a great saving of time and also Of
muscular effort. Of course it is not adapt
ed to all circumstances, but, where practi
cable, will be found to work well and pay
better.-Rurdl Ne,c Yorker.

Selecting Cows.

A VERMONT stock raiser gives the fol-
lowing rules for selecting cows =" First,
get broadside view of the animal, at
the distance of about two rods, as | have
noticed for years that there was great
similarity in the general proportion of all
first-class mixers, being very small in
girth just back of their forward legs, as
compared with their girth just forward
of their hips. / have never known first
rate mixer, af any breed, not thus pro-
portioned; SO that if this form is wanting
in an animal have recommended to me,
[ do not care to look at her more, unless
| want to breed for some other purpose
than the dairy. For breeding oxen
should want q COW of reverse proper
tions, 4. e., larger girth forward. l next
feel the size oil the milk veins, and trace
them to their entrance into the chest,
which, in superior COWS, are large, adj
hitting the ball of the larger finger; if
divided, or subdivided, as is sometimes the
case, | Judge of the size of each orifice, as
| care less for the size of the
vein itself than the orifce. Next
examine by sight or touch the udder
or bag, which must be capacious in order
to hold much milk, with teats wide apart
and free from large seed warts or sores of
any kind. | then inquire how long she
goes dry before calving, as | don't want a
family cow to give milk less than forty-six
weeks out of every fifty-two; also, as to
the quality of the milk; and, to close,
milk her with my own hands"

Food and Shelter for Cows.

SOME years ago farmer, of our own &C
quaintance, found himself in possession,
at the coming in of winter, of thirty-two
cows, with Only stable room enough for
ten of the number. The balance were
consigned to an open shed, with rack
running along the enclosed side, and fed
with hay alone. Those in the stable, in
addition to hay, had about quart of
Indian meal a day each, till the approach
of spring, when they ceased to be MIXED.
Besides this, they were thoroughly carded,
each morning, before being turned into the
yard for the day-an attention which those
outside did not enjoy. Some said that
feeding meal would stop the flow of milk,
by giving too much flesh to the animals,
but no such result followed. The cows
continued in excellent health, supplied a
fair quantity of'rich milk and were alto
gether in better condition, in the spring,
than those wintered in the open shed.
The meal undoubtedly had something to
do with the difference, but not more, per
haps, than was caused by the daily carding
to which the stabbed stock were subjected.

Steering and Feeding Turnips.

WHEN the reasons for what we do are
understood, it is very easy to fix things.
There Is too much of mere copying after
others in some things. Our neighbors
do this or that, and we do likewise. 1t
often costs us double as much as our
neighbor to do just as he did when if we
only knew why he did it, we might have
materials at hand by which we could do
all he did, better, and at far less cost.
This is particularly the case with re-
gard to roots. Very expensive houses are
often made to keep them in, when very
simple contrivances would have done as
well, If the proper reasoning had been
employed on the subject
In keeping turnips, If the air be dry
about them they shriyel; if it be warm
they grow; if they be exposed to alter.
nate freezing and thawing, they soon de-
cay away. Therefore. to preserve a turnip
well, we must keep it regularly cool and
moist. Frost will not hurt it, providing
it be not dry frost that is to say, if a
moist body be around it while it is frozen
it suffers no injury. Just under the earth,
in barrel, box for room, or anywhere
where it cannot lose its moisture by com
ing in contact with any body dryer
