Buying Land.

THE exercise of sound Judgment is re-
quired to purchase land most advantage
ously, and too many young persons, when
they set out to buy farm, fail to look be-
yond their wishes in the matter, to consid-
er the various conditions that should con-
troll ones decision. 1t often happens that
q man who has money enough to purchase
a well-improved farm of an hundred acres
in settled, prosperous region, will buy a
tract of six or seven hundred acres of wild
land. remote from cities and facilities for
reaching market, because he INDUCES the
belief that his energy and skill will make
his wilderness blossom like the rose" and
produce large and remunerative crops.
Then, too, it is pleasing to ones vanity to
be considered the owner of such an ex-
tensive estate. A short time, a year at
least, sufices to dispel such fancies. He
had TO build dwelling or re build thelone
he found on his place to make it habitable;
then, having devoted all his money to
paying for the land, he is unable, to stock
his farm or procure necessary implements
and cOnvenien.es, and he fiEds that it is
utterly impossible to work satisfactorily
or profitably, or conduct the usual farm
then, saddest disappointment
of all, he realizes that, with ireless ener-
gy, unwavering perseverance,, the highest
degree of skill and practical knowledge,
and the use of powerful fertilizers, it wiz
take years to render his large estate remu-
nerative. When this unpleasant but una
voidable conviction is forced on his mind,
he Is ready to acknowledge that it would
have been far wiser if he. had taken fewer
acres of fertile land, with desirable i'm
and the additional advantages
Of good roads, access to markets, churches,
schools, and agreeable society.

provements on farm, and keep up the
quality of stock, than to bring wild land
into Productive condition and supply it
with superior stock of approved varieties.
The primary object in farming is to make
money, and this cannot be done unless the
different branches are systematically and
economically conducted; the work must
be promptly and thoroughly performed,
and nothing must escape the notice of the
intelligent mind that supervises and d.
rects the management of affairs. A large
farm, like an immense army, requires for
its successful management the highest de-
gree OF tact, consummate skill, untiring
industry and vigilance, and full compre
hension Of all the available resources and
surrounding circumstances.
In his report of 1859, the Commissioner
of Agriculture says: ".The greed for the
acquisition of land is serious bar to pro-
gress in farm improvement. The aim of
the pioneer has been, not to become q
good farmer, but holder of broad acres
to grow more wheat, to buy more land.
The result is sparse settlement, poor
roads, straw stables, few farm implements,
and slow advance in prices of real estate
after the first sudden rise in values. It is
a dangerous fallacy that non productive
farm lands are profitable. - Farmer,

Water for Horses.

THE quantity of water which will be
imbibed by horses varies even more than
that of their solid food, yet ignorant
grooms are too apt to give all alike. The
mos. strenuous advocate for the continu-
GUS supply would doubtless make an e1-
csption at those times when horses are
just about az severely galloped, as in
hunting or racing; and on the other
hand, almost all grooms who know their
business allow their charge to fill them
selves at night, and also give them lib
eral allowance when they have done their
work and are dressed and cooled down IF
ter it. have found in my own stable, in
measuring the actual quantity of water
drunk by the horses, that even among
those which are doing the same amount Of
work and eating similar food in quantity
and quality, the water will vary from two
buckets day to nearly five. If salt is
given, it will produce considerable thirst
at first, but after time this effect ceases,
e-1I nave not found it in the long run
make much difference. Green food will
also make less alteration in the desire for
water than might be expected, which
may be accounted for by the fact that it
increases the secretions of urine and per-
spiration, and also acts gently on the
bowels; SO that, though more fluid is
taken into the system with the green
food, yet proportionably large quantity
passes off 1t is, however, necessary to
be cautious In the allowance of water to
horses which have just begun to eat grass,
for IT given in the usual quantity on the
stomach full of green food, it will very
probably bring on an attack of collie AS
q rule, no horse should 90 to any moder-
ately fast work with more than half a
bucket of water in him, and that should
have been swallowed at least an hour

False Prophecies.

A BAD cause relies greatly on false
prophecy for support. Predictions draw
only on the imagination, and can be man.
ukctured to suit the interest or fancy of
the inventor. They suit admirably to
rouse the fears and afflict the sensibilities
OF the ignorant and the timid. We like
to look over some of the false assumptions
and predictions of the advocates of slave
ry, made during the twenty years pre-
ceding the abolition of slavery. It was
predicted by. learned Senators on the floor
OF Congress, who then were looked up to
as oracles, whose utterance it was pre-
sumption and sin to dispute, that when
slavery should be abolished the commerce
of Northern cities would be ruined, the
grass would soon grow upon their
streets, and their once magnificent struc-
lures would each, like "pile without in
habitant, to ruin run" It was said that
war between the North and South would
certainly end in the ruin of Northern
cities This dismal foreboding was abso-
lutely believed, not only by the vulgar
and uniformed, but by men of wealth
and wisdom. With the war period com
menced the real growth of the Northern
cities. Population and wealth were never
gathered into cities and towns so rapidly
before. The Northern cities have gained
more wealth since the day the rebels fired
upon Fort Sumter than now exists in
the eleven revolted States ~. 49,, s.
1t was also declared that when the
chains should fall from the limbs of the
negro. he would start the next hour for
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1870-01-20

to the vulgar prejudice which slavery had
brought into being, namely, dislike and
contempt for the enslaved race. The re-
suit has been an emigration, not north
ward, but southwark. Instead of coming
from Kentucky and Virginia to, Fennsyl-
vania and Ohio, they go southWArd to
Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. Instead
of crowding into Northern cities as idlers
and cut-throats, we zee them, scattering
over the broad lands Of the South in quest
of honest and productive labor.
Shareholders were fond of saying that
Cotton was King, not only over the South,
but over all the commerce Of the world
that without slavery there could be no
cotton, and that when that system should
fall, the commerce of the country would
perish with it. Here, too, the prophecy
and facts are widely at variance. During
the year 1869 there were produced in the
Southern States three millions of bales OF
cotton without the labor OF single slave
The beautiful crop still whitens the sunny
fields OF the South, unstained by The
blood OF the slave, and uncursed by the
maledictions of the oppressed. That crop
still contributes to the comfort and wealth
of the civilized world The derisive laugh
of the world will yet be heard over the
comparison which it will make of the
croaking prophesies of pro slavery servile,
| in 1859 and the reported facts and figures
of the year 1869.
This subject could be illustrated a,
greater length, but we forbear for the
present. The teaching of these facts is
that falsehood deals largely in prophecy
after its own sort. Doleful predictions o.
| disaster following on the heels of any
act or course of justice, benevolence, Of
right doing, are not worthy of a mo
ment's attention or regard Human his

prophecies. In politics, and in every day
! life, truth is a safe guide Justice ends il
prosperity, and not in ruin.
In contrast with the croakers who per
vert justice and truth, the words of the
truth inspired prophets give new strength
and hope to all who seek the triumph o
right. They see, through all the cloud.

How Often to Examine Hives.

q Mr.. Quincy having noticed in the Bee
Journal a query as to how often hives
should be examined in the course of the
season, replied thus in the Rural Neao
Yorker: If the propounder of this ques-
ton fears to injure his stock by too fire.
quent examination, let him be reassured- =
there is aot the slightest danger. Neglect
has destroyed more, q, thousand fold, than
the mere opening of the hives. My advice
is, know the condition of your bees at
AL times" If this questioner wants to
keep them with as little attention as pos
sible, counting their care an irksome task,
I am afraid he will soon be one who T" had
bad luck" They do require liberal
amount of care.-WereI to commence bee
keeping again, l should do as have done,
be careful to let few days go by without
examination and study. Your success
will largely depend on the accuracy and
extent of your knowledge. You know
what years of study and labor are required

CURE FOR LOcKJAw.-A correspondent
of the Scientific Ansericaa recommends
1urpentlne as cure for lockjaw. He
says: Let any one who has an attack of
iockJaw take small quantity of turpen-
tine, warm It and pour it on the wound
no matter where tie wound is or of what
nature 1t is, and relief will follow in less
than one minute. Nothing better can be
applied to severe cut or bruise than cold
turpenane; it viii give certain relief al
sovereign remedy for Group Saturate a
piece of flannel with it and place the fan
mel on the throat and chest, and in very
severe cases three to five drops on lump
OF sugar may be taken inwardly. Every
family should have bottle on hand. 3
The remedy is simple and can be easily
tested. Inan serious cases an application
should be made under medical advice.

you think of man who should try to run

out willingness to do something like this,
don't undertake bee keeping. Knowing
is the first and indispensable condition Of

once week will do, on an average.
