FARMERs.-Adam was farmer while
vet IN paradise, and after his fall COM
manded to earn his bread by the sweat Of
his brow.
Job, the honest, upright, and patient,
was farmer, and his endurance has pass
ed into proverb.
Socrates was farmer, and yet welded
to his calling, the glory of his immortal
philosophy.
st Luke was farmer, and divides with
Prometheus the honor Of subiecting the OK
for the use of man.
Cincinnatus was farmer, and the
noblest Roman Of them all.
Burns was farmer, and the Muse
found him at TIE pillow and filed his soul
with poetry.
Washington was farmer, and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy
the quiet rural life, and present to the
world spectacle of human greatness.
To those names may be added a host
of others who sought peace and repose in
their mother earth the enthusiastic La,
fayette, the steadfast Pickering, the scho-
lastic Jefferson, the fiery Randolph, al
found an Eldorado of consolation from
life's cares in verdant lawns that sur
rounded their home.

from his manuscript so far as to say that
that reminded him that he was handed
that morning copy Of the New York
World, which contained very uncharlt'
able editorial upon him. He was consci-
Gus that
HE HAD DONE NOTHING TO OFFEND
THE NEW YORK WORLD,
excepting tie supreme audacity of having
mentioned the name of that paper in his
lecture.
1t was little remarkable to hear q
man ingenuously confess that he had Of
item found people who had told him they
had expected to see in him perfect mon
ster, or had expressed surprise at seeing
him smile. So, also, when he inquired
"what detective would have thought that
any woman would walk in the streets with
John h Surratt ?" There was q touch Of
grim pleasantly in his process Of proving
his senibility to the fate of his motherland
his emotion at leaving his native country,
by claiming that his secession principles
had been elevating and not debasing.
"Had Mr.. Lincoln lived" said the
speaker. che would have been the best
friend the South had to-day" which sem
timent, in spite of its grammar, ELECTED
qualified applause.
"a simple, unpretending, unassuming
YOUTH" the remarkable Joey Bagstock
said he was. From a description of his
horror at the death of his mother, this
simple, unpretending, unassuming youth
turned to inform his audience-in a par
enthesis hunting was "a sport of
which he was passionately fond"
"Man proposes but God disposes," said
John FL. Surratt, piously, in the course of
his lecture last evening, and doubtless it
was part of the iuscrutable plan of Prov
| idenoe that John FL. Surratt was sEatched
from the shadow of the scaffold he richly
merited to address an audience from the
platform in New York City.

FEED Hay CAREFULLY.-There are
hundreds of tons of hay lost every winter
among farmers by careless feeding. We
have been astonished sometimes when wit
Messing the amount wasted around barn
yards and stacks. This waste is entirely
unnecessary, and if it was made the rule
of every farmer never to feed any kind Of
stock upon the ground, thousands of dol
lars might be saved annually. There are
times, to be sure, when the earth is frozen
dry and clean, but if racks are not pro.
vided, full one-half of the time the hay
will be dealt out either in wet snow OF
mud, and a good portion lost. Portable
racks should be used around stacks, and
their location changed every few days
The racks should be so constructed that
the stock can get their feed handily, and
at the same time, made so that the hay
cannot be pulled out and trampled under
foot

THE HORSE How TO TREAT HIM.
of all domestic animals used to tighten
the labor of man and contribute to his
pleasure, the horse is universally acknow-
lodged to be at the head of the list, with
all his power, strength, activity, and acute
ness of instinct, almost amounting to
reason, he is yet SO docile, when properly
trained, that child of six years old can
lead, ride or drive him. If it were not
that we are so familiar with these things,
seeing them every day, they would chal-
lenge our admiration as it is, we look
upon them as matter of course. without
bestowing upon them serious thought.
An animal so useful, contributing so
largely to our pleasure and profit, should
be treated with care and kindness in pro-
portion to its usefulness this would be
but simple act of justice for which we
could claim no merit but when we fail
to do this, how stands the case2 If we
abuse this most useful of animals either
by overworking, overdriving, underfeed-
ing, whipping, exposing to storms, tied
up so that it cannot escape, and many
other ways with which we are too famil-
liar, how can we excuse ourselves
We sometimes see horse beaten I'M
mercifully, not for any fault of the horse,
but because the driver has failed to convey
his wishes in such language as the horse
understands, for properly trained horse
will always be obedient to his master
when the order is in language that he
comprehends and in tone of voice that
is encouraging. The best carter we ever
knew was one whose voice scarcely raised
above a whisper when speaking to his
horses he carried no whip; he loved his
horses and his horses loved him. The
driver and the team, as such was the ad-
miration of the town. Sometimes leader
horse is startled by orders in such an
angry tone of voice that he becomes
alarmed and confused, is thrown off his
guard and possibly takes the wrong direc-
ton; for this mistake he is whipped in
stead of repeating the order in a milder
tone, or by taking hold of the bride and
leading him in the right direction, patting
him on the neck with the hand, with a
few words of encouragement to assure him
that you are his friend. Friendship be-
gets friendship with animals as well as
men and anger begets anger. If You
train your horse to be obedient only
through fear, by whipping him, he will
become as spiteful and illnatured as your
self. A horse thus treated will require
more food to keep him in good condition
and will wear out sooner than one that has
been properly treated. Illnatured excite
ment is unhealthy.
Some men have been using horses all
their lives on the principle of forcing ODE
dience by the whip, without ever learning
the true system of carressing, coaxing and
rewarding by such means as the animal
can appreciate. A handful ofgrass snatch
ed from the roadside and given to your
horse when tired, will do more good than
a cut with the whip. The horse is not
ungreateful. Treat him kindly and he
will serve you faithfully. He is fond OF
being petted, and We should take adyant-
age of this trait in his disposition.

How TO MAKE CoMPosT.-Making
compost is in order at any season of the
year when the ground is not frozen, and
almost every farm has some of the material
10 make it Of Any spot of ground that
cannot be cultivated, whether dry upland
or swamp bottom, may be dug up and
carted to some convenient place, TO form
a compost heap. This place had better
be selected near to the material, which
will expedite the work. Any kind of soil
or subsoil will do, except very stiff clay, or
very coarse sand and even small pro-
portion of these will not be Objectionable.
Swamp mud or the deposit in river bottoms
are preferable to all others.
This should be put in a sort of winrow,
three or four feet deep, and about half
busbel Of lime to every one-horse cart-load
Of mud or soil to be mixed with it. An
addition of half peck of plaster, would
be an Improvement.
But if neither lime nor plaster can be
obtained, don't give it up; the other ma
terials are worth operating on. Let them
lay to be acted on by the frost, rain and
sunshine, for six months or year, and in
that time turn the mass over with shovel,
beginning at one end of the heap, mix
well aud break the Jumps, letting the air
through 1t. Spread it over your grass
land in the fall, winter, or spring, and you
will be surprised at the improvement of
the crop.

Houses TO PRESERVE ICE.-It is well
understood that ice keeps best in large
bodies, but the demand for information in
regard to houses to keep it in, contem-
plates buildings suitable for containing ice
sufficient for six or eight people. Here is
the plan of a practical ice man, who has
had much experience in the ice business.
He says:
IF / were to build an ice house for six
or eight persons, would build it 10 feet
long, eight feet wide, five feet high in the
clear-put some loose boards on the
ground-have the studding ten inches
double board and fill with saw dust, no
matter how close the ice comes to the
boarding have the roof shingled-with a
ventilalor therein to let off bad air; have
ditch all around the house, say three
feet of bank up all around the house,
for current Of air underneath will waste
almost as fast as you Can put it in. After
the ice is all in, cover the top with saw
dust, six inches deep, and it will keep
years. / helped ship ice last June, seven
years old, solid and blue as when first put
in-and of two. of the buildings the roofs
blew off over year ago, and the ice under
the covering of saw-dust showed no waste;
cakes that would weigh from six to l 900
pounds were 80 clear that newspaper
was read through the block, the paper on
one side and the person standing on the
other

PREPARING FooD FOR SToCK.-In
feeding farm stock through the winter a
great deal may be saved by properly pre-
pairing the food before feeding it. 1t is
well known to every farmer that to feed
hay, straw or cornfodder without cutting,
incurs great waste.
The hay crop is the most valuable of
any grown In tho United States, not even
excepting cotton, and to waste it, is not
only an individual but anational loss. A
thoughtless farmer may say-"It is not
lost if trampled into the manure heap"
This is only partially true. Why does he
not trample his whole hay crop into the
manure heap2 He is too wide awake for
that. The first and most profitable use OF
hay is to feed stock; to either make growth
or to put on flesh. The manure, however
valuable it may be, and we would not I'M
derrate it, is secondary matter, compar-
ed with putting growth or flesh on the ami
NAL, and will be all the better for having
passed through the animal system.
A first class feed cutter should be found
in every farmers barn The cost is but
small compared with its usefulness The
saving of food by its use will soon pay fol
it; the time and labor of using it is wei
spent and the result will be seen both il
the saving of food, and in the improved
condition of the stock.
