able to sympathize with those in sorrow will
be hundred times greater than your past
sorrow; yea, the remembrance of your sor-
rows will be itself a source of joy, when you
see the joy and gladness which you are able
to bring to other hearts, which could never
have been the case had you not yourself
passed through trials.
Gods sovereign ways are all unknown
To our weak erring sight.
Then, let our souls, adoring, own
That all his ways are right.

THERE MAY BE AUDIBLE MUSIC in heaven ;
but its chief delight will be in the music of
principles in full and cOnsenting harmony
with the laws of eternal rectitude. There
may be visions of loveliness there; but it
will be the loveliness of virtue, as seen in
God, and reflected back in family likeness
from all his children.-Dr. Chalmers.

Plaster and Salt for Glover.

A correspondent of the Germantown Tele-
graph says he has full faith in plaster and
salt as an application to clover either for
hay, seed or pasture, and gives the result of
his experiment as follows:-
This last year | tried an experiment on
field (all clover) which was intended for
hay. 1t was in thirty feet lands To the
first land applied plaster, sown broadcast,
at rate of two bushels per acre; to the
second land | applied, in the same manner,
two bushels of common ground salt, at the
cost of $3.50 per acre; the third land | ap.
piled, in the same manner, mixture Of salt
and plaster, tone bushel of each), at a cost of
Sl.75 per acre, and so on all over the field.
Throughout the whole spring any novice in
the art Of farming would have picked out
every third land as the best next the first
ones, to which the plaster was applied. Hay
ing long been an advocate of plaster for
clover, / was very careful to note every cir.
cumstance however trfling, which could in
tny way effect the experiment, aud am now
very thankful for this case, as it enables mC
to communicate several important results
which otherwise | could not have accounted
for, The times of sowing the substances, on
the whole field extended over two and a.hali
weeks short time elapsed between each
patch Of three lands. The result is that
find the same amount of plaster does best
when the clover is two or three inches high
and when ii is sown ON the leaves when they
are wet with dew The salt did best when Z
warm rain fell just after it was sown. Tn,
action of the mixture is plain; we apply il
one stimulant the four ingredients most need
ed by clover, viz; sulphuric acid, lime, chic
rine and soda"

Care of MILK Vessels.

In an article in the Ohio Farmer, written
by cheese-factory man, we find the follow
ing suggestions on washing cans, which are
equally applicable to pans and other dishes
in which milk is kcpt;-
when a can is to be washed, do not put
hot water in it at first, but put in water not
above milk warm which will readily dissolve
the milk il any is dried on to the tin, and it
works of very easily while if hot water is
applied at first, it has q tendency to cook the
milk on the tin, in which condition water will
not very readily dissolve it, but warm milk
will Ii is therefore very important to give
strict heed TO this matter, and see that the
milk is thoroughly removed by washing be-
fore any hot water is applied. Care must be
taken to remove every yestge of the milk
about the seams of the cans and covers, as
here is where the trouble always begins My
attention is always directed to the seams first,
If | suspect can is not properly cleansed,
especially the seams in the cover. The little
tube in the centre Of the cover, is also place
TO be especially looked after in cleaning the
can.
Very many people who consider themselves,
and are considered by others patterns of neat
ness, fail to keep their milk cans perfectly
cleansod many times no doubt through iguo-
rance of how TO do il, and many times from
lack Of appreciation Of the extreme neatness,
of that scrupulous care necessary TO keep
everything used about milk Immediately
clean.

Farming with a Plan.

The Editor of the Hearth a. Home directs
this shot at class of amateur farmers, but
it will doubtless hit some old stager in the
same bush. He says of the farmer under
consideration -
81 He natures no wel-considered plan Of
operations he buys lot Of nursery stuff
which he finds going cheap he plants where
the ground happens to be soft; he digs at an
old bit of garden because it has been gar
den; he plants his row of trees along the
street because an opposite neighbor has; he
puts an acre or two to corn because his team
ster says he'd BETTER and after much
higgledy- style of operations, is sur
prised that years work or two years work
are not fruitful of any large results.
Nothing has contributed so strongly to
create that distrust Of rural economy, which
city gentlemen currently entertain, as that
belter-sketer botching of labor, and hand-to-
mouth practice which city gentlemen are apt
to transport to their country homes.
If man has no clear conception of what
he aims at, he will pay dearly, and reach
nowhere--whether he works in town or coun-
try. But if he have a clear conception OF
the end he wishes to ccomplsh-whcther il
be beautiful home simply, or productiy,
and well-ordered farm, he makes grand error
if he fail to establish, At the outset, plan Il
the completion of which all his labor and ex
penditurc may unerringly converge.
No gardener works with any spirit who
plants his Aower-beds with the understanding
that they may be torn up next season; ant
no farmer will show any enthusiasm wh'
drags stones to-day to point whence he viii
be compelled to remove them few month
hence No architect enters with zest int
the contrivance Of plan-whethe. for hous
or land--which a within of Tomorrow ma
upset. If a man has no meaning and N
purpose in him, his home and his home be
longngs will very naturally and honestly b
always adrift; and there are scores who liy
thus raft-wise, wherever they 60. But who
ever wishes q taut, clean, trim country hom'
that shall develop new beauties and new pre-
duetiyeness year after year, should matur
his plans at the outset, and work toward theI
!, by system. His abors will thus catch tn
glow of his purpose, and the work of a
weathers and all seasons conspire to one aim
A poor plan is better than no plan"

Vinegar Plnnt--IIow all eau have Good Vinegar.
1t belongs to the genus Of fungals, ( Pendulum
giaucum); and is easily propagaled by follow
ing the annexed recipe -
Take half pound Of brown sugar and
half pint of moasses; simmer them in three
quarts of water till well dissolved then place
the mixture in wooden or stone pot, cover
it over, and place behind the stove in warm
situation In about six or seven weeks you
will find floating ON the top tough, ileshy
substancc-this is the vinegar plant; the
mixture will have turned to vinegar, but Of a
poorer quality than will be manufactured
without its aid. Now prepare mixture as
before, and, when c0oliSh lay over it the vim
egar plant. 4 bit of lathing or shinge should
be laid upon the mixture before placing the
plant over it, as the vinegar is of purer
quality if the plant does not lie wholly upon
it. Set ii behind the stove or beside the
range, covering it closely, and, in two weeks
or more, taste it; if sharp vinegar bottle it,
aud continue your manufacture. The vinegar
is of dark color, but of far better quality
than that which is bought generally for cider
vinegar but has never seen apples 1t i,
probable that what is termed the mother
in vinegar is closely allied to this plant, onC
might be employed by those who desire t.
PRODUCED vinegar plant without delay. The
cost of vinegar made in this manner is ex
tremely small, and, as it is condimont S,
, universally employed in culinary matters, ",
recommend it TO our readers. We do no
, think that there is anything deleterious in it
4 properties and it would certainly give man,
families large supply Of vinegar who woul'
be unable to procure it in any other manner
I A small wooden butter firkm would be an ex
celent utensi for its preparation, as it coul'

A little whitewash, says the Boston Jour-
nal Of Chemistry, will do great amount of
good but full supply enough to cover the
inside of barns, stables, cellars, etc, with
two good coatings, is much better -
The lime which enters into this composition
is purifying agent, and the wash serves as q
disiniectant. The benefits conferred in thisngnrd
Compensate for all the labor and expense involved
in whitswashng but the clean, tidy appearance
which it gives TO farm premises is most pleasing
and salutary In no way can farmer make So
imposing and even elegant show, for trining ox-
penditure, as by free use of whtewpsh. Even
old buildings glow and glsten under the white
wash-brush, and assume incompetence. Build
ings, in the eye of the owner AZ well rs those Of
his neighbors, have higher money value after
the process is completed"

CO.OneraiiYe Fnrming.

Being in street car in st. Louis last sum
mer, fell into conversation with the driver,
who told me he was on his feet some seventeen
hours day, aud was paid for it 80; that his
knees often swcIlcd so that he could hardly
stand and that he thought he should have to
give it up said -
"Why not give it up, and go to work on a
farm You can get as good wages and live
decenty."
"Oh'" said he 81 have had enough OF
that, it's too lonesome want to see folks
Now the man may be called fool by some
but he expressed fact, and one which in
duccs many men, and women too, to give up
life of comfort, security and indcpondonc,
on the land and to crowd into cities, where
they cah secure neither comfort, security nor
Independence, and where many of them sink
into suffering and disgrace.
What is the remedy for this unfortunate
condition of things 1T is to make farming
more agreeable Howl BY enabling men
and women to see more of one another, and
so to crafty great social desire which will
tend to make farming not only the most se
cure and Independent life, as it now is, but
also the most agreeable
This is to be done by working in co-opera
ton, and not single-handed and alone.
| propose to suggest some way in whicl
this may be accomplished
One way: Let three to five farmers in
neighborhood combine for mutual help, eacl
one owning his own farm, etc Instead o
each man blowing alone, let the whole liv'
combine to work one day for one man, anC
finish his blowing up; the next day for tn,
next man, and 20 on, using up the week
Then with sowing or planting let the SAINT
system Doe employed, thus using up five day
in the week, provided all the days were
fair. At any rate, let the system be carrie,
through
The work will be done faster, and wid
more hearts the young fellows will see ont
another; they will talk together and dine to
gether, and get some social interchange
which they must have.
Is it not plain that the great work, such a
blowing, sowing, harvesting can be done bet
ter aud more promptly in this way, and b
much more agreeable? MANY hands max,
light work, is an old and true saying.
The women and younger members of tn
family must also have some social excitemen
and pleasure. Let these five families thel
set aside one afternoon or evening, or both, O
each week, when they will meet at one hous
for social entertainment for eating, for read
ing talking singing and so on. Let thi
evening be sacred to this natter and not b
iulringed.
Trust me, we shall then have fewer sickl
women and children, and fewer dissatisfe
boys and girls in farmers houses Isolatio
and individualsm will not work we'll Go
operation will. Let us try it.

1t is commonly said that every one has
right to half the road. This is practically
true, aud comes about in this wise. You and
| meet upon the road-our legal rights are
exactly equal, and both have right to 90
our several ways without obstruction so,
popularity, we say | own half and you own
half. The law steps in to facilitate matters,
and directs each to turn towards his right
hand. This is true, whatever the load or the
team for if one can drive such team that
another can pass him but with difficulty or at
all, then their rights are no longer equal.
This point becomes very important in winter,
for it is no joke to turn your horse and all
into the deep snow while your neighbor goes
smoothly along in the beaten path. No one
has a right so to load his team as not to be
able to give half the track to whoever de-
mands it.
A iootman may choose the part which plea
ses him, or any portion of his right hand half
of the way, and the team must yield it to
him. This is clearly so in winter, and ne
man is obliged to step into the snow for one
or two horses. This is the law and the courts
award it.
Now for the manners of the road which,
in some instances, vary from the law thereof
The first requirement of road manners is
good nature and an accommodating spirit
Do 70 others az you would have them do tC
/ you. Always be willing to yield more thar
half the space, then you will be pretty sur,
to be equally well treated They who exac
inches will have inches exacted Of them. L
your neighbor has heavy load, consult hi
convenience as far as possible; you may some
times be loaded 1t has become practiuu
rule of courtesy to turn for heavy teams, es
pecially in winter and when the roads arr
heavy. But remember It was favor, no
your right, and you have a reciprocal duty
to perform, and one which, | am sorry to OBJ
serve, is not always borne in mind.
One word in relation to teams going tn
same way, in which Gaze many seem to think
there is neither law nor manners. When
team comes up behind you, that team has
right to a reasonable space and opportunit.
to pass on---in fact to half the road for tina
purpose-and your obstrueting him in hi
lawful desire is both bad manners and ba
law. If your load is heavy do the best yol
can. In most cases the very least that car
be asked is that you should stop This
particularly so in the winter, when it is
heavy tax on team to force it into a trot j

which can be so opportunely applied here

When should we Pinnt out EVergroenst
There are advocates of three theories, viz
planting in the Fall, in early Spring, and late
Spring, and again others have serious objec-
tions to any or all these plans one grower
says, he would not plant any kind of tree
in the Fail on heavy soil, for the trees will
often be thrown out by the frost another
says, that if he were to receive a lot of ever,

would Immediately put them out

Of August; as recommended by the nursery.
man, did what we could to protect them, but
when Spring came, they were all dead. We
| tried carly Spring for planting them, but had
the same result; at last tried the first two
weeks of the month of June, and succeeded
admirably. We transplantcd some Homlock
and Spruce in the month of September OF
first Of October, taking care to mulch the
roots of the trees, after the earth was filled in
these too have kept we'll.
Hence, from our personal experience We
can safely say, that the best time for trans.
planting evergreen trees is between the 18th
Of May and 10th Of June; for the hardy
evergreens, the month of September or Octo.
Der is good, taking care in each case to mulcI
the ground well, and particularly to see that
trees are well packed and roots kept moist
and unexposed. If the distance of transpor.
tation is quite short, oyergreenes may be safe,

but if transportation is distant it is better tC
