and while Brigdet was holding the
rope, proceeded to pour it upon
her back.
But poor Pat had made slight
mistake. Standing within the
same closet was a bottle of do,,e-

different purpose, and, as it
dropped upon the back of the
poor cow, and the hair began to
smoke and the flesh to burn, she
exhibited a decided appearance of
restlessness.
"Pour on more, Paddy" shout
ee Bridget, as she tugged smartly
at the rope.
"!ll give her enough now,"
quoth Pat and he emptied the
bottle.
Up went the heels of the cow,
down went her head, over went
Bridget and half a dozen of the
" clilders," and away dashed tho
infuriated bovine down the street,
to the terror of all mothers and
the delight of the dogs.
Poor Pat stood for q moment,
breathless with astonishment, and
clapping his hands upon his hips,
looked sorrowfully after the re-
treating cow and exclaimed:

What is Rust in Wheat3

1t is a small, microscopic plant
or fungus, the seeds of which are
distributed through the sap pores.
These seeds produce young plants
under the epidermis or skin of the
wheat-which they swell and burst
in longitudinal Sits all over the
plant. These little plants may be
distinctly seen by means of pow
erful microscope, in all stages of
their development-from the nu.
merons little round regular heads,
seen beneath the transparent and
unbroken epidermis, to the con.
fused mass after they have broken
through and scattered their fine
powder over the whole surface.-
In favorable weather, and in good
wheat fields, rust makes but little
progress, and does little or no
harm; but when the weather sud-
denly becomes hot and moist, its
attacks are often fatal to the crop.
The growth of the grain is at once
arrested, aud if the crop is struck
before the grain has formed, it
will not be worth cutting. If part.
~. formed, it will be more or less
injured. Wheat growing on low.
wet, musky soil is generally more
liable to rust than on hard upland,
but cases not unfreqnently occur
when it appears in belts or streaks.
in the directions Of prevailing
winds, blighting alike every field
OF o: wheat, whether Vt, high or low, in
sowing on dry or well drained soil,
which is rich enough to push the
crop on and cause it to ripen early,
beyond the reach. of its attacks
Early ripening varieties are best
on this account.

Will He Succeed.

The following article has so
much truth and sound practical
sense in it, we give it a prominent
place in our editorial pages, and
commend it to the careful persual
OF every parent.-Ed. Farmer and
artisan.
In nine cases out Of ten, no
mans life will be a success unless
he bears burdens In his childhood.
If the fondness or vanity Of father
or mother has kept him from hard
work; If another always helred
him out at the end of his row if,
instead of taking his turn at pitch
ing off, he moved away all Of the
time--in short, If what was light
always fell to him, and what was
heavy about the work, to some one
else if lie has been permitted to
shirk till shirking has become q
habit unless miracle is wrought,
his life will be failure, and the
blame will not be half 80 much his
as that of poor, weak, foolish pa
rents.
On the other hand, if boy has
been brought up to do his part |;
never allowed to shirk any legiti.

to dodge, work, whether or not it

will always be a make shift: and
the fault is not 30 much his as those
about him, who never made the
boy depend on himself did not
make him wait six months to get

Everybody has to rough it at
one time or another. If roughing
comes in boyhood, it does good /; #
later, when habits are formed, it
is equally tough, but not being
educational, is entirely useless.
And the question whether young
man will succeed in making money
or not, depends not upon where he
goes or what he does, bnt upon his
willingness to do "his part" and
upon his having earned money,
