Which Would You Rather Do!

JOHN ADAMS, father Of John Quincy
Adams, used to say, "When was a boy,
l had to study the Latin grammar, but it
was dull, and | hated it. My father was
anxious to send me to college, and there
fore studied the grammar till l could
bear it no longer, and, going to my
father, told him / did not like study, and
asked him for other employment. 1t was
opposing his wishes, and he was quick in
his answer.
lowell, john said he, if Latin gram
mar does not suit you, you may try ditch
ing-perhaps that will. My meadow
yOnder needs q ditch, and you may put
by grammar and dig
"This seemed delightful change, and
to the meadow | went, but soon found
ditching harder than Latin, and the first
forenoon was the longest ever expert
enced.
"That day ate the bread of labor, and
glad was when night came on. That
night made comparison between Latin
grammar and ditching, but said not q
word about it.
81 dug the next forenoon, and wanted
to return to Latin at dinnertime; but it
was humiliating, and | could not do it.
At night, toll conquered pride, and l told
my father-one Of the severest lessons of
my lite-that, if he chose l would 60 back
to Latin grammar.
"He was glad of it, and if l have since
gained any distinction, lit has been owing
to my days labor in that abominable
ditch"
Daniel Webster did not like moving
any better than John Adams liked ditch
ing. His father told him to chang" his
scythe to suit himself, and he went and
| hang ii on q tree. However, both Adams
and Webster worked harder with their
brains than most boys with their muscles,

A Tainted Atmosphere.

Malarious fevers are most prevalent in the fall.
Heavy and unwholesome exhalati0ns then srisc
from the earth, and the great disparity between
the temperature of day and night prcdisposes the
system, enieebed by the summer heats, TO cpl
demic diseases. The socretive organs, the liver
especially, opt, at this period OF the year, to
become inert and sluggish, aud all the bodily
powers reouirc renovation. The best, indeed the
only protection against the morbid influences of
the season is wholesome medicaicd stimuiant.

and indeed foremost among the remedial ond pre-

The Last Scenes In q Divorce Suit.

THE following scene at the railroad de-
pot in that city is described by the st.
Joseph (Mo) Herald:
A woman, with baby six months old in
her arms, alights from an omnibus in the
dusk of a rainy evening, when up steps
gentleman, with quiet, but firm manner,
and says, "Let me take him into the car"
The mother, with calm indifference, re-
signs the child to the gentleman, who
takes it into the car of the train W hicb is
ready to start. 1t needs no further in
formation than is afforded by the fond
caresses laylshed upon the child to know
that it is in the arms of its father, and the
wee sweet little thing is delighted, too
while the mother sits slOof and gazes
coldly out OF the window. Soon the bell
of the locomotive rings, the conductors
voice is heard warning the passengers to
get on board, end the man, kissing the
baby g wild kiss, places it III the lap of
It's mother, whispers q low "gOOd bye" to
the woman and leaves the Car. As the
train moves of the prattling face of the
infant is seen at the window by It's father,
and its little hand is extended toward him.
He touches it for brief moment with the
remOrseless movement of the train, which,
doing the behest OF hateful circumstance,
tears it away forever. The man retires
from the notice of the crowd, his head is
bowed upon his bosom, and his great
frame is shaken with the weight OF the
greater grief. He weep5.
This scene was witnessed at Inc depot
last evening. It was the finale to a di-
vorce suit that was recently decided in
our Circuit Court.

Fattening Animals.

In fattening animals of every kind, IT is
important to feed them at the season when
they will take On flesh the most rapidly
at the least expense. That season is in
the late summer and autumn, when the
weather is mild. l fully believe that the
production OF flesh, in proportion to the
consumption Of food, is one-fourth more
in warm weather than in winter. Meal
may be fed in the warm season, but corn
can only be fed in autumn or winter, as it
does not ripen sufficiently until then, and
it cannot be kept over in shock for
another season. 1t may be said that fat
cattle for spring use, need not be fattened
SO early as to be ready for market by
December. 1t viii do 10 harm, however,
and they will hold their flesh 81 winter,
and on much less feed than if not so well
fed III the earlier season, and thus secure
the large spring prices of winter feeding.
This advantage can be fully obtained
by feeding on ground grain in sheds and
managers, but cannot be secured by winter
shock feeding.-ALlen.

No inconsiderable portion of some of
our Western States is given to the raising
of hops. There is no difficulty in the
growing; but the trouble comes in the
harvest. From conversation with men of
experience and intelligence we CLEAN the
following, which may be of consequence
to some who suffer yearly loss for lack of
knowledge with regard to the best pro-
cess of curing:
First-Pick clean. Nothing foul and
nothing filthy should be allowed with the
gathered heads.
SecOnd-Never allow the hops to heat
before being placed in the kilns. If they
are pressed into sacks they will begin to
grow warm in hot weather in four hours
To obviste this, put but few into sask,
and afterwards let it be at full length on
the ground, and not be piled with others.
Third-Spread evenly on the kiln-fioor,
and at once put fire under them, which
should raise the temperature to nearly
2OO9 Fahrenheit. In four hours the hops
next the floor will begin to dry then the
heat should be reduced to 1909. Careful
turning should Immediately follow when
the hops on the top are half dried. After
turning, the temperature should be still
further reduced to 1909. More heat is
liable to work injury. The test of readi-
hess tor the bale is whether seven eighths
of the stems are entirely died At this
stage, they should be showed from the
kiln to the cooling-tloor, and from thence
taken to the store-room.
FourtA-Early in the season, sulphur
should be used two pounds to fifty boxes
Later, the amount should be increased
The hops should be considerably dampen
ed before the sulphur fumes are allowed
to penetrate the mass.
FJM-Caretul baling secures many
times ready and good sale. The sewing
should be well done; the bales OF the
same size, and the growers name-if hi
is DESTROYS of making eputation-shoulc
be prominently painted on the side o
each bale.
Sirth-Hop-growing is destined to b.
a steady and safe business when the pro
duct is measured by the demand; ant
then, as now, the man that haIvests, cures
and packs the best will find the readies
market and make the most money!

Planting Fruit Trees.

WITH respect to proper treatment the
first thing is to get good soil. To set good
trees on bad land is like setting down 70
dine with empty dishes there is nothing
to support the growth Of the tree, nor
any food to supply it with proper pour-
ishment. Therefofe il the soil is not al
ready good, il should be made so previous
to planting. If the trees arc expect
ed to thrive well, the first thing is to OBJ
tain sufficient depth Of soil to enable the
roots to extend themselves' freely, and to
hold moisture without drying up IN pro-
tracted droughts this may be obtained
b. digging large holes eight feet in diam
ejer and two feet deep, and filling them
with good earth. The soil should be
kept clean and mellow for many feet
about each tree during the whole season.
Treated in this way the degree OF mois-
tlre which the earth will retain lew
inches below the surface, compared with
the meagre supply in a hard or grass
grown surface, is surprising, and 1t rem
ders watering rarely necessary. Ii is
frequent Occurrences 10 find young trees
which have been well transplanted and
properly cared for in the spring, entirely
neglected at midsummer. The soil be-
comes hard, the moisture is withdrawn,
and it's fertility lessened by q growth OF
grass and weeds. To remedy this evil
the unskillfui water the surface, but in
stead OF reaching the roots, the hard sell
excludes the water, which only
tends to further hardening and bak-
ing Of the surface while the roots remain
dry below Many young trees thus per-
ish in hot weather; or surviving, make a
feeble growth, and thus arc more
liable TO destruction from winter frosts.
Where, however, trees have been neg
lected till the period of severe drought,
and where watering becomes necessary,
the hard surface should be removed as far
down rs the roots VIII admit, and the
water then poured on, and the earth re-
placed. Mellowing tho surface and mulch
ing will sfterward prove very beneficial.

the trees with straw and stable litter, or

THERE is a great deal said about certain
persons being smart, but do not believe
two individuals can be found who would
give the same definition of the term.
If q baby has teeth little sooner, or
prattles "Ba, ba," when little younger
than some other mothers baby did, why
it's "smart baby"
If child is bright and childlike, it is
called smart" but if it is bold and i'm
padent, 1t is Every smart" in the eyes of
some people.
If boys or girls are studious, they are
styled ''smart;" if they work well, they
arc smart )" but if they are full of the
very spirit of mischief, they are smart
also.
If a young lady is dressy, smiles be-
witchingly, and prattles funny little moth
ings, she is smart but if she is staid
and grave, or talks Auently of nehul@,
crustacea, and cotyledons, she is "smart
too.
If she plays the pianoforte, she is sup
posed to be SMART" but If, without
knowing flat from sharp, she wields
the rolling pin and broom, of course she
is ''smart"
If man is learned and wise, he is
"smart :" but if he is witty and funny,
even though he don't know verb from a
fraction, he is "smart" also.
If he makes speeches, of course he is
SMART but if he does not, you will
surely be told that he is too smart tc
tell all he knows"
If he employs his superintendent brains
on other peoples affairs he is every
smart" but if he has sense enough tC
mind his own business, he is "uncom
monty smart"
If q boy supports his widowed mother
he is q "good, smart, clever lad ;" but il
he bullies mis- little sisters, runs in debt
and breaks his mothers heart, he ma,
still be spoken of as "smart young
rascal, after ALL
Esrly-risers are invariably dubbed
SMART" but the lazy fellow who lie'
abed till noon, and then rushes down
town and CANDLES shrewdly in stocks un
til three, is among the smartest of tn,
| smart.
A faithful book-keeper, after years O
active service, may be called "a good
smart fellow " by his employers; but if b,
cheats them slyly out of few Thousands
they must admit, at the den0uenaent, tina
he has been "too smart for them"
The fact is, very few persons are smar
enough to define exactly what "smart
means.-HeGrth and Home.

leaves, will Gf timely performed) obviate
the necessity of watering, even in extreme
cases. Midsummer drOughts will scarcely
affect trees thus protected, in connection
with lean mellow surface. As the time
required for their fruiting depends very
much on their management, while the
quality, even more than the amount yield
ed, is influenced by the treatment they re-
ceive, 1t is well worth some pains and
labor to give them every advantage. As
soon as the trees arrive from the nursery
they should be planted without delay in
their respective places, previously pre-
pared for them, and be firmly stacked,
watered and mulched. This will con-
clude nearly al that is necessary the first
season, with the exception Of perhaps a
little pruning and pinching in the summer
growths. Gardeners Chronicle.
