Raising Sugar Eeets.

They grow best i'll rich, deep, loose
soils, such as walnut or burr oak flats,
thoroughly underdrained. Piow the
ground deeply in the fall. After corn is
planted in The spring, replow. In the
month of June drill the seed in rows
twenty inches apart. 1t takes about
two pounds of seed TO the acre. When
too thick, thin out and transplant. With
Il quit horse and a narrow shovel plow
and hoe, one man will take care OF six
acres. On good land, and the crop well
teuded, the produce will be twenty tons
to the acre. For feeding purposes, this
is equal to at least thirty-siX acres of
corn. | do not not pretend to claim
that six acres of beets TO the stock sepa-
rately, without any other feed being
given, would be equal 70 thirty-six acres
of corn; but by actual test have found
that when beets are fed to cattle, coit~,
mules and sheep, III equal portioLs with
grain, that they will produce the result
here claimed. Have not farmers often
noticed how quickly they conld fatten a
horse or COW III the summer, when there
was plenty of grass, by feeding the
animal small portion of meal with the
grass? The sugar beets in winter and
early spring seem to supply the place of
grass, and they are fully equal if not
superior to grass in producing growth
and flesh. h.-[Cor. Gin. Gaz.

Never PIcEy Wet Soil.

We have often urged the attention oi
the farmers to this subject Is one ofgreat
Importance. Any traveller among Oui
farming districts can see large tracts oi
land that haze been plowed when wet
and unfit to De worked, by observing
large heavy clods of earth, which, i'll the
hot season, become like ii heated brick
burning all the roots of grain or other
product near TO it. Besides this evil, nC
seed can yegi;ate and grow well upon
soil thus cultivated, nor can that sol
give back as much nutrition as if plow-
ed when in right condition and upon a
warm and sunny day when light and
warmth can penetrate into the soil, and
thus greatly benefit it.
We are confident that farmers lose from
ten to forty per cent. of their crop by
inattention to this matter. BY little
care at the proper time to plOw, by eX'
amining the soil and selecting good sun
ny days, the soil will send up its voice in
a halo of dewdrop clouds that will
wreathe the plOwman with its. approval
of his good sense.
As with farms, so with orchards; vine
yards, and gardens. No soil should be
worked when wet and soggy. If the
soil continues wet long, drain it well
and soon it will be in working order, but
never attempt to plow, spade, or work il
unless in gDod condition.-[Calitornia

The best charities are those which are
daily dispensed in pleasant words and
kindly deeds TO all around US.
Man must have occupation, or be
miserable. Toll is the price of sleep
and appetite-of health and enjoyment.
The very necessity which oVercomes
our natural sloth is blessing.
There is 10 real use in riches, except
it be in the distribution; the rest is but
coDceit.
There are three things which. can in
no wise be used for good-malice, envey
and folly; and there are three things
that.can by no means lie employed for evil
humility, contentment, and liberality
Kinder is the looking-glass than the
wine-glass; for the former reveals our
defect to oIrselfonly-thel latter to our

deepest, without a preparation of suffer-
ign.

Next to the good heart and clear con-
science, is the clear head. Dull thinkers
are always led by sharp ones. The keen
intellect cuts its way smoothly, grace
fully, rapidly; the dull one wears its life
out against the simplest problems.
To perceive accurately and to think
correctly, is the aim Of all mental train
ing, and-I had almost said--of life
itself. But I will not say that. Heart
and conscience are more than the mere
intellect. Yet we cannot tell how much
the clear. clean-cut thought, the in
tellectural vision, sharp and true, may
aid even these. Some say that man
never feels till he sees, and when the
object disappears the feeling ceases.
So we cannot exag- crate the importa-
nee of clear, correct thinking. We
should eat, drink, sleep, walk, exercise
BODY and mind, to this end. Just SO
| far as we fail, we make dolts and idiots
of ourselves. We cast away our natural
armor and defense. The designing
make us dupes; we are overreached by
the crafty, and trodden under foot by
the strong. Very likely there is low
murmur of conscience, too, for falling
below its pure ideal. This adds sharp
sting to the shame of conscious dull
ness.
A mans great power in the natural
world, among Natures forces, water
steam and lightning, is not i'll his mus
cles, but in his brain. Any horse can
pull harder, lift more, and endure longer
than the most perfectly developed man.
But a single human brain can control a
nation of horses. 1t is for us. then, TO
look out for this. If we would share
what has MOI only given Npp' leon-,
Caesars and AlaXande rs iheic power,
but the great cunquerors OF natural
forces as well-the Fu:toLs and the
MoIsss-let us look out for III !nain, see
that late suppers and imdi@rsl iii DO not
rob il of vitality, that alcohol Hoes not
harden il, nor want of sleep enaG it on
to insanity; but !hat moral, honest
living may render il the clear. strong,
glorious thing it may become.-L LII

What horrible sign it is to see a
man under the influence of strong drink.
To see him reeling and tottering from
one side of the street to the other. Is
it not heart rending to see the honest
eyes dull, and meaningless? The lips
jabbering foolishness. To see the face
and figure growing ugly, irrational, and
disgusting, more like beast than a
man, and yet it is a sight we encounter
at almost every step we take; and, what
is most surprising to US We see the tai
ented, aud the educated, as well as the
ignorant and unlearned, all treading the
same downward path to ruin. We see
them sinking lower and deeper, yea to
the very lowest depths of degradation.
And all for contemplate and coward
ly bit of seEsualism, and because they
have not the moral courage to abstain
from that which they know is leading
them on to ruin. When We see the
rum-drinker one naturally, thinks of the
rum-seller, and we wonder in our hearts
which of these two is the most TO blame:
the rum -drinker or the rum-seller.
Surely the rum-seller is not without his
share of the blame aud we think that
mans conscience is pretty scared who
engages in such vile traffic as the selling
of rum. would rather be engaged in the
most humble occupation than be
q rum-seller. And, Mr.. Rum-seller, who
ever you are and wherever you are
you are a robber. You not only rot
your victim of his money and his little
ones of their daily bread, but you take
away his self esteem aud his reputation
In short you rob him of all that earth
holds dear. Lastly, you rob him of bis
soul, for the Bible tells US, THAT nc
drunkard shall enter the kingdom of
heaven" Oh! rum-drinker, rum-seller
let US entreat of you to stop, to think
and repent before it be forever too late
lest you may here those dreadful words,
Depart from ME ye cursed into outer
darkness where there will be weeping,
and wailing and gnashing of teeth u
But why need l stand here and try to
urge them to leave off their sin. Have
they not tried the faith of the truest
hearts, ami of the noblest and best q!
,chrisLians that ever biest the world.
Oh it isa subject which many have
dwelt upon and wondered over until il
has well nigh driven them To agony
and to madness, because Of mems per-
versity. Ah!I fear they will not be
persuaded though one arose from the
dead. Yes go on with your dreadful
work of running your own and other
mems souls. Go on! we will not seek
to disturb. But remember, OH remem-
ber, that not one jot or one little of Gods
word shall pass away until all shall be
fulfilled, and that your sin is sure to
find you out. For Vengeance is mine
and 1 will repay saith the the Lord"

Rivers join the mountain pillows,

Life is made of smallest fragments,

Seconds make the flying minutes.

While the sunshine's making hay:
Thus we may, by help of study,
Learn a little every day.

TRUE HEROLSlL.
BY GRANT p. ROBINSON.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanQu1shes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years,
Against himself, and wins.
He is hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man tha drew sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume, and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
At might beside your bed.
All honor, then to taat brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part
Who cOnQuers and is free.
He may not wear hero's crown,
Or fill a hero's grave;
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave.
A ship should not be made to depen,
on one anchor, or life on one hope.
Affectation is greater enemy to tn
ne than the smallpox.

BE Yourself.


One great cause of failure among
teachers, is q want of Individuality
Many seem to think if they conduct
themselves in the school-rocn as GER
tain successful teachers do, they toe
will succeed; while failure is certain,
because, instead of becoming complete
masters of the subjects brought before
them in their professional capacity, they
attempt imitation, and, like all other
imitators, soon show the want of gen.
uineness.
The master of the drama studies nst
how Hamlet looked and acted, but what
natural act and intonation Of voice Is
applicable to him as representing like
scene, holding the mirror up to nature.
What matters il if the professor where
you obtained your education, i'll the
teaching which he did, make use OF
such and such gestures and words? Ii
does not follow that you will succeed by
using the same. Remember, you do not
look like him; you are taller or not So
tall, more or less, than he i'll all re-
spects; therefore you cannot initiate
him with any degree of success.
Granted that, primarily, We learn bJ
imitation; yet the true scholar immedi-
ately breaks away from this leading
string and analyses what he has learned
and makes it part of himself.
1t is right to gather information from
any and every source-at school, col
lege, teachers institutes, and from eX-
perienced acquaintances-but before you
attempt the use of that knowledge i'll
teaching others, be careful that you
comprehend it in all its bearings. that
you have a clear idea what the effect
will be Oh the minds under your care
not only for the present, but for all the
future, that it is properly assimilated,
that it is you. Ia all your school-work
in all things, be yourself; be not an
other.-[Ill Teacher.
