Farmers Honor Your Profession.

On the part of many. farming is
regarded as rather an ignOble en-
plOyment; one that Is to be followed
only by those who are not smart
enough TO obtain living in some
other way. Even farmers them>
selves, o large portion of them, 1t is
10 be feared, share i'm this feeling, or
Mt least have an ill-defined idea that
their position i'm society Is an inferior
one. They have q secret thought
that it is less noble to till the soil,
calling into being those products,
which are in themselves the elements
of life, and the basis of al wealth
and prosperity, then it is to speculate
or traffic in them after they are pro-
duced. The farmers hands may be
rough and stained by toll; he may,
ns it is sneeriDgly said by the moths
and butterflies that are dependent on
him for the necessaries of their life,
"smell OF the soil;" but he is none
the less noble and manly for all that.
He does not seek to acquire wealth
the tradesman; he does not resort to
the corners, or short cuts OF the
Spectator; nor does he live on the
fOllies, evils and crimes OF mankind'
What he earns is the product of hon
est toll and what he receives Is but
the value of the energy of mind and
body which he has expended for the
public coed. Men may have acquired
tastes and habits, which render labor
i'm this calling irksome and unpleas~
ant but 10 is not to the discredit OF
the profession If there is any, it is
their own. Education 80 called, may
lead some to think oil manual labor
is mental and degrading; but they
see things in perverted light; they
measure honor and dignity by their
own false notions.
The farming community are In a
great measure responsible for this es
innate of their profession, and 1t
should be their endeavor to remove
this prejudice from the public mind.
TO do this effectually they must first
assure themselves of the true nobili-
ty of their calling; then they will
have courage to affirm it, and make
1t felt. They must make their bust
ness progressive one, and then 1T
will command the respect of all.
They must add to manual labor,
brain work and skill, and it will be
esteemed most honorable. They
must make it prosperous and remun-
erative and then it will be worshiped.
Farmers must, by union of action,
cut off these vampires, middlemen,
boards of trade, and monopolies who,
too honorable to work themselves,
think it respectable to live by cheat
ing and fraud. They must educate
themselves i'm all that pertains to
their profession, from the first prin-
ciples of natural law, to the influence
of social and political economy, up~
on the productive energies of the
country then their profession will
he prosperous and influential, their
position in society, not more honor.

Pruning Raspberries.

Hoe frequently when ground Is
dry, and nip off the tips, when two
feet high, repeat as often as they
show disposition to push q vigor-
Gus upward growth; this will deter
mine tho growth to the side branch
es, which should also be nipped as
soon as they have extended far
enough to form a good shaped bush
or meet the branches of the adjacent
bushes. Never nip or prune after
September first, as it induces q new
and tender growth that would not
mature, and so be killed by winter.
The first years growth will bear well
the next year, and sometimes too
much, injuring the after productive
ness of the plant. If great amount
of fruit is apparent, it would be bet
ter to cut away all the canes but one
good one, or thin out the side branch
es or the spurs on which the clusters
of fruit are formed. These fruiting
canes die as soon as done fruiting,
and should be Immediately cut away
close to the ground, but with care
not to injure the new growth, which
starts from the roots early in Spring,
and which in the sorts that increase
from the tips will be much more up
right than the first years growth,
and should be nipped as before, at
two feet, or perhaps i'm some cases, a
little higher. Pruned and grown in
this way, Raspberries need no stakes,
as they will be strong enough tc sus-
tain themselves. After the first year,
the ground between the rows should
be loosened in Spring, either with
horses and pillow, or spade. If the
latter, fork spade in an excellent
tool. as it works easily and pulverizes
the soil but do not dig deeply around
or near the plants so as to injure the
roots. Hoe frequently as before, al
ways keeping the top of the ground
open aud loose and free from weeds.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases OF the Throat and Lungs I
such az Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races OF
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young Children Ii Is
at the time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Cr0ap, 1t should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought In
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by this
Cherry PICTORIAL. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to 1t. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Peo-
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from il.
Isthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis Is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry Pectorai in small and frequent doses.
so generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
