To Those Who Employ Farm LabOrers.

WE wish to talk a few minutes with
farmers and their wives, who employ men
during the summer season, or during the
entire year, about the manner il which
they often treat these sons of toll. First
of all, do not be continually finding fault !;
it would turn the sweet temper of saint
TO murky discomfort, after laboring hard
all day, 10 come to the supper table at
evening and there listen to the scathing
words OF lault -findingl No matter how
tri1ing the cause, some employers will fly
in passion, call harsh names that often
end in blows, or perhaps an immediate set
tlement, and often at times when their
services are most needed in haying or
harvest
What of it if your hired men do bresk
fork or rake, or do some other equally
trifiing act during the season; it was uu-
doubtedly an accident, and they are with
out doubt sorry for it; and if they were
careless, would rather pay the expense of
repairing, or in some manner bring about
a Just reconciliation than have it thrown
up in their faces when their employer is a
little out of sorts.
We occasionally hear of and sometimes
see farmers wives with their bump of self
esteem so well developed that their hired
laborers eat their meals in the kitchen or
wood shed, while they languish at the
dining room table; and they would ia
sooner think of allowing the large watch
dog in the parlor than one of the hired
men, which speaks as plain as words, "You
are unworthy our society, and cannot ap-
preciate the work of art and beauty upon
the walls and table of the parlor." As to
asking the servant 10 to hear them play
upon the piano or organ, why Hat would
be an unpardorable sin
Farmers, you should never employ la,
borers whom you are ashamed to sit be-
side at the table or labor with in the field
and when they are once in your employ
treat them with kindness and respect, and
they will cheerfully do your bidding, per-
forming more labor each day than when
you are cross or passionate. Remember
that, although those whom you employ
may be poor, they may have had instllled
into them deep and appreciative sense
of the manhood and responsibility resting
upon them. For the sake of our nation
future, do not try to keep them ignorant
or tread upon them with your golden heel
! of wealth, but encourage them to read
and place within their reach at noon and
night papers and books of an instructive
character.
There are two sides to this question
We opine, however, that when the EN-
ployer acts the man, and has due respect
and regard for the welfare of those in hi'
employ, but little complaint will arise
| from the other side.-RuIdL World.

Sleep and Habit.

SLEEP is much modified by habit. Thus
an old artillery man often enjoys tranquil
repose while the cannon are laundering
around an engineer has been known to
fall asleep within a boiler, while his fel-
lows were beating it on the inside with
their ponderous hammers; and the repose
of miller is nowise incommoded by the
noise of his mill. Sound ceases to be
stimulus to such men, and what would
have proved an inexpressible annoyance to
others, is by them altogether unheeded.
1t is common for carriers to sleep on horse
back, and coachmen on their coaches.
were SO exhausted that they fell asleep on
the deck amid the deafening thunder of
that dreadful engagement. Nay, silence
itself became stimulus, while sound
ceases to be So Thus a miller being
very i'll, his mill was stopped that he
might not be disturbed by its noise; but
this, so far from inducing sleep, prevented
it altogether; and it did not take place
until the mill was set agoing. For the
same reason the manager of some vast
iron works, who slept close to them, amid
the incessant din of hammers, forges and
furnaces, would awake if there was any
cessation of the noise during the night
To carry the illustration still further, it
has been noticed that person who falls
asleep near a church, the bell of which
was ringing. may not hear the sound
during the whole of his slumbers. and be
nevertheless aroused by its sudden cessa-
ton. Here sleep must have been imper-
feet, otherwise he would have been insen-
sible to the sound. The noise of the bell
was not stimulus; it was its cessation
which, by breaking the monotony, be-
came SO, and caused the sleeper to awake.

you, and you've no right to expose him in
public"
THE Boston Journal says The OBJ,
servatfons taken on Mount Washinton
during the past winter have established
one important fact, that the periods of
intense cold are felt at the high altitude
from twelve to twenty-four hours sooner
than they are in the country below. Care
full observations are made at Hanover,
N. H., to be compared with those or the
mountain, aod others are made at points
nearer Mount Washington, at Gorham,
Whitefield, Lunenberg, VT, ETC., either in
connection with the expedition or for the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington.
A comparison of all the observations will
probably disclose other meteorological facts
than the one referred tc above.
AT the time the great tornado which re-
Gently visited East st. Louis, ILL.,, was
driving along in its destructive fury, Mr..
Fl. C. Turner was hunting in the woods
near Venice, Ill. A tree was blown across
him, and for three days, without food or
drink, he lay in an immovable position.
All attempts to extricate himself from his
perilous position were of no avail, and Mr.
Turner, finally discouraged by fruitless en-
deavors, gave himself up as one to be
numbered among the dead. After three
days, however, he was relieved by farmer
named Haggerty, who fortunately hap
pened to be passing that way. He was
conveyed to East st. Louis, and put in
charge of the city authorities.
J. J. BARTON, who signs himself "de-
funet publisher of the NeU Era" at Car
bondale, ILL.,, presents his ex patrons with
a portrait exhibiting his present sadly at
tenuated proportions, and says: al want
you to liquidatel I've not had a square

How to Manage Spring Pigs.

In answer to this question, put by one
of its contributors, the American AgricuL
turist has the following: 1t depends on the
breed, the food at command, the conven-
fences for feeding, the probable price for
pork next fall, and the price year hence.
We should premise, however, that in any
case the pigs should have all they will eat
of some kind of food. The only difference
to be made between growing pigs and fat
tening pigs is in the character of the food:
A fattening pig requires rich, concentrated
food growing pig a more bulky and less
nutritious food but, in either case, the pig.
to do well, must have all it will eat. If
YOU have a small boned. well-bred pig,
such as a grade Essex or Berkshire or Suf-
folk, we think it would be far more profit
able as rule to fatten spring pigs than to
winter them over. Let them have the run

Striking Seeds in the House.

CoLD as 1t is, true garden-lovers, impa-
tient as lovers always are, will begin about
this time to anticipate spring weather by
sowing seeds in pots and boxes for early
planting. Pansies, zinnias, asiers, balsams,
phlox, started thus come into bloom a fort
night or three weeks sooner than they
otherwise would, and it is a far safer
method of treating rare and delicate seeds
than sowing in the open air. The earth
for this indoor culture must be light and
friable. Sprinkle the seeds over the sur
face and smooth them in with the palm of
your hand. Water moderately and set in
a warm, sunny place, laying over the top
of the fiower-pot or box a pane of glass.
The moisture thus confined (after the
principle of the fern-case) coaxes the little
germs rapidly forward, and the plants viii
have reached their second leaf and be
ready for outdoors by the time that May
has warmed her brown beds and begun to
twinkle with beckoning fiegers for all
green things to come and make merry

with plow or harrow; and whenever II is
sown with oats, barley or other spring
grain. care should be taken not to cover
too deeply. The seed may be scattered
after the grain is sown, and brush then
passed over the surface, although roller
Is preferable to anything else.
g. Ten or fifteen pounds of clover seed
is the usual quantity sown per acre, but q
little too much is far better than not quite
enough.-Deits's Farm Journal.

Quantity Of Clover Seed to the Acre.

1. If clover seed is sowed with grain
the land should always remain undisturbed
for at least one year thereafter for the
purpose of allowing the clover time to
mature. 1t may be sown with nearly all
our cereals, such as rye, barley, oats and
wheat.
2. We would not advise the sowing of
clover seed in the fall, and we believe it is
seldom if ever put in at THAT time. Sow
the seed among the winter wheat, but
early in spring, Just as soon as the ground
thaws. Glover seed will find its way deep
enough into the soil without being covered

Of clover pasture, all the slops and milk
from the house, and all the corn and other
grain In water twenty-four hours before
feeding. If well bred, such treatment
should give you pigs that will dress 800
pounds by the first of December. On the
other hand, II you have a coarse, large
boned breed of pigs, the better plan will
be to winter them over. In this case. give
them the run of good clover pasture,
plenty of water. what waste from the
house you have to spare, and a little grain
to keep them growing as rapidly as pos
sible.

This estimate, which is fair one, gives
a value per bushel of thirty cents
that is, the substances found in bushel of
good sound wood ashes are worth, in the
market, that sum, at the present time BY
teaching the ashes, thirty cents of the
commercial value is removed and convert
ed into soap; this leaves nine Cents as the
value of the constituents of bushel OF
leached ashes. The silicate of lime, and
the metals, practically, have no market
value. and are not considered.
What is the agricultural value of the
two forms of fertilizers2 The ashes hold
ing all their normal constituents, are
worth more applied to soils than for other
uses when separated, dollars and cents

| employed, will return, in most seasons.
sixty or seventy cents worth of products
the first year. The potash and soda, COM
bined as they are in ashes. in the form of
carbonates, sulphates, and silicates, are in
| precisely the right condition to be readily
assimilated, and also to aid in rendering
assimilable, many important constituents
of the soil.
The leached ashes also are worth more
than nine cents bushel. Relatively they
are worth more for sol! employment than
the unleached, regard being had to the
commercial value of the substances when
separated. A good honest bushel OF
moist, leached ashes will give returns the
| first year of the value of fifteen or twenty
cents; aud owing to the peculiar decom
posing influence upon the insoIuble con
stituents of the silicates, etc, remaining
in the mass, their iufluenc extends outside
Of themselves, and continues for a long
time. A pound of phosphate of lime
found in ashes is worth more than pound
of bone dust, as it is in condition to bt
readily taken up by plants. The carbonate
of lime is worth more than chalk or the
same agent in other forms, inasmuch as i
has once passed through plant structures

rough ones, but they are sufficiently exac
to serve as guide in learning the value o
