DUTIES OF FARMERS. s.-9arming IS not
only profession, but of all professions 1t
embraces the widest range of scientific
propositions a0d practical facts, and at
fords the widest field for the exercise of
the philosphic and analytic mind. ln-
stead of the bright boys being sent to a
medical college for a field worthy of their
talents, they should be educated in the
.cierce aud Instructed practically in the
duties Of agriculture.
1t is prominent duty OF tarmer.so to
pursue his calling as to inspire respect
Tor it ia the minds of his children, aud so
train them that they shall be able 20 pur-
sue it successfully; which can only be cf-
fected 6y his avaiipg himself cf every ad-
vantage resultiug from the discoveries Of
science and the accumulated experience
Of Inc past. This Will at once strip farm
ing Of almost every disagreeablc feature,
and ciothe it with attractions possessed
by no other business.
As at present conducted, there is a
large amount Of very disagreeable labor
required 10 be performed in farming, and
it is mainly to this fact thst We owe the
desertion OF that business for others by
country boys. Science and human skill
must relieve this, and undoubtedly viii, If

FURs AND MorHs.-Put the furs in
box so tight that moths cannot get in to
lay their eggs. Few boxes arc safe for
this, but they all may be made 50 by past
ing strips OF paper over every joint, includ-
iug tae crack between the lid and cover.
Paper bags made Of stroog paper, without
even a pin hole, viii answer; after the furs
are put in, paste the mouth OF the bag
securely. Anomalies of various kinds are
more or less repulsiye to the insect, but
the only sure way Is 70 see that there is
no moths in the furs, aud then, beating
them well, put them where none can get in.

SOUTHERN CRoPs.-The crops in the
South, according to the journals of that
region, are not SO promising as they were
a few weeks ago The usual visitations
of rains, the floods and the extraordinary
cold spells have seriously injured the

and the cold has wi,hercd the cotton so
that in many places it has become neces-

How TO Keep Rats from Destroying
Harness.

ALMOST every person who uses har-
ness has been more or less annoyed by
having them injured by rats. We give Il
few hints as to how this may be avoided,
though everybody knows, or affects to
know, what is best. The receipts here
given are collected from different sources.
Take about teaspoontul of Ceyenne
pepper, mix it thoroughly with quart of
oil, and rub the harness with the mixture.
This. it is claimed, will not only keep rats
and mice from gnawing the harness, but
it will also prevent horses and colts from
chewing the lines or halters.
Take two quarts Of green lceks, pour
over them one gallon of oil, and let it
stand a few days before using; the longer
it stands the better.
A little benzine rubbed over the harness
after it has been oiled is said to be a sure
preventive, but is not recommended by
many, on account of the idea that it in
lures the leather.
One ounce of aloes to one gallon of oil
will prevent rats from destroying the har-
ness
IL is also claimed by mixing small
quantity, say tablespoonful, OF pine tar
To one quart Of oil, harness Will be most
cflcctually protected from any injury; but
if too much is put on the leather will not
absorb it. 1t will collect dirt, besides
making the harness unpleasant to handle.

Grooming Horses.

THoUGH suitable and properly prepared
food is the prime requisite for the horse,
regular grooming hol Is the second place
in the management of him. A man who
omits the customary ablutiOns at stated
times-who goes for days or weeks with
uncombed hair, may eXist-but does not
live in the proper sense of the word. So
of the horse. Grooming is alike essential
to looks, health, and elasticity of action.
The curry comb and card should be
brought into daily requisition, nor should
the clipping shears be omitted FetlOcks
bedraggled with mud, unkempt and
tangled name, detract much from the ap
pearance of the animal, repress his ambi
ton, and hence diminish his usefulness
A man who neglects the regular grooming
of his horses is an enemy both to the
beasts and himself; to them because HI
withholds labor which is their due, and t.
himself because he depreciates tn; valu,
of his own property.-SOc Journal.

"RecO,lstructiOn.o /"

The leading Republican newspaper in
this city says that if the Tennessee Legis-
lature shall fail to ratifiy the Fifteenth
amendment, Congress may take some
action to displace the Senter government.
Either the Senter government is the
lawful government of the State, or it is
not. If it be the lawful government of the
State, it has as much right to reject the
amendment as any State in the Union. If
it be not the lawful government of the
State, its acceptance of the amendment
will not make il SO.
Acceptance or rejection Of the amend
mcnt cannot possibly give Congress any
authority for interfering to sustain or put
down the Senter government This is not
claimed, but Tennessee is menaced with
an extinction OF her State government i'm
case she fails to take such action on the
amendment as shall please Congress.
This would be ridiculous were it not vii
lainous, and in harmony with all of the
Congressional proceedings in dealing with
reconstruction" If Congress may annihi
late State government for failing to rati.
fly Constitutional amendment, what is
there of common sense or consistency i'm
the submission of such an amendment TO
the States ?-O,cago Times

has been well fitted-and the fitting may
be made more complete by adapting it to
the grooves in the sash and its frame, if
any exist-no draught will be experienced
in consequence of the displacement of the
sash at this part. The effect of such an
arrangement is, however, to cause scpa-
ration between the bars of the sashes at the
centre. By this means a perpendicular
current of air will be projected into the
room between the glass in the upper and
lower sashes and their respective bars, or
else the current will pass outward in the
reverse direction, in a manner by which
all Inconvenience from draught will be
avoided.
SuppOsing that two or more windows at
opposite sides of room are fitted in this
manner, very satisfactory ventilation
will be secured. Owing to Il difference in
its equilibrium, the air will rush in on one
side and rush out on the other side of the
apartment. If the slips of wood are painted
Of the same color as the windows then

everything pretty much stafu guO a. he had left

Washing Wool in Germany.

THE process of washing is done under
the roof, and, accordingly, no sudden
showers. or rainy weather can interfere
with it. Before the shower bath is adj
ministered to the sheep, their dirt and pitch
has to be dissolved or loosened. For this
purpose a soaking vat is put up, winch Is
covered and tightly put together of strong
planks or boards. 1t is filled with hot
water, equal to eighty-four degrees Fab
renheit the sheep are then placed in two
lines and constantly handled until the
yOlll and dirt are dissolved, which Ordna-
rily takes from fifteen to twenty minutes.
The solvent effect of the hot water is in
creased by adding few pounds of potash,
and also by the lye arising from the natu-
raj oily matter of the wool.
The sheep, after being well soaked, are
placed under shelter, where they have to
wait their turn of the shower bath, in or
der that the animal, now too much heated,
HAY not pass Immediately from the hot
soaking vat into the shOwer-bath, this be-
ing from siXty-one to siXty-three degrees
Fahrenheit. The water is let upon the
sheep through hose, with strainer upon
the end. 1t falls with considerable veloci-
ty, and is brought to bear upon all parts
of the sheep until the wool is of a snowy
whitencss. The sheep are then driven to
warm, dry shelter, and shorn as soon as
the wool is dry, generally about the sixth
day. On an average, forty sheep are thus
washed in an hour.

Ventilation.

WE have now to describe one of the best
and simplest modes of ventilating ordina-
ry rooms with which we are acquainted.
1t is one equally applicable in winter and
summer, because all draught is avoided |;
for, even if window be opened at the top,
a downward draft is frequently felt, and
in rainy weather It is often impossible to
keep the window open. The present plan
is applicable i'm all kinds of weather, and
would be perfect il the ventilation could
be effected near to the ceiling.
AS it can be applied at an expense of a
few cents, and as no unsightly appearance
is made, it is equally applicable to the cot
tage and to the mansion. A piece of wood,
On inch or more in thickness, three inches
wide, and exactly as long as the breadth OF

The Presidents Father.

The Louisville C0Hyiey- Journal narrates
the following incident, which, it says re-
centlysoccurred in Covington:
n gentleinan-a stranger, Of course
met old Jesse in the street, and desiringt to
break ten dollar bill, stopped him and
asked him to change it. Old Jesse said he
thought ne could do so, opened his pocket
book and began to tumble over its cor.
tents. As he did SO he cast n side glance
at the stranger and muttered, i'm quick,
lerky, gutteral tone of voice, "Do you
know who am, sirg'
!" No." replied the stranger, "I do not !;
who are eyous"
:" Sir" said old Jesse, STRENGTHENING him
self, am the father of the greatest sol
dicr who ever lived"
Then said the stranger, "your name
must be Jackson, and | thought Stonewall
JacksOn's father was dead"
That ended the interview.

and each would comply with the court S
decision, whether satisfied with it or not.
That is exactly the course those falsely ac-
cused of reputation are willing to pur-
sue. and they are willing to pay every
dollar which may be decreed by law as
Justly owing. This is the usual course
adopted by business men who disagree as
to their accounts, and the allegation that
it is reputation is tantamount to an allega,,
ton that business men in America and
elsewhere are in the regular habit OF re-
pudiating their just debts. The cause
must indeed be desperate one when such
an argument is required for its support
and the party using it and claiming to be
the party of honesty, truth, and fair deal
ing, would be cOmical If not something
worse.-Neao York Eoening Express.
