A LITTLE HERo.--Says the Versailles,
Morgan county, 0asotts Of the lst "A
few days s,uce, M. Haynes, his wife and
little boy wens out to gather some blue
grass seed. A swarm Of bees alghted
upon the boy, literally covering him from
head to foot they hung upon bis ears,
chin and nose 10 great bunches, and clung
10 thick clusters to every part Of bis body.
Mr.. Haynes, reslising the dangerous sit
ustion 10 which his child was placed com.
msuded him to stand perfectly still and,
IL possible, not to move q muscle. This
the brave little fellow did, until the bees
had oil settled. Mr.. H. then took .
stick, gently lifted the boys hat from his
head and placed it upon q neighbcring
bush, when the entire swarm left their
extraordinary resting place, and took to
the bat aud bush. Strange to relate, the
boy received only one sting, and that
was caused BY his seising with bis teeth .
bee that was trying 10 make its way into
his mouth. If ooolness. presence Of mind,
and unainohing never 10 the presence Of
danger, entitle one to the honors Of Q
hero, then THE little boy should certainly
be enrolled In the calendar"

0GBc Fer Farmers.

Itis,a we'll known fact that there are
breeds of horses, cows, sheep and hogs
greatly superior to those generally to be
found in this country. These superior
breeds, when grown, ARE worth fully double
as much as our common ones, often many
times more. And yet they will cost not
one dollar more TO raise them and in the
case of fine hlooded hogs and cattle, not so
much.
Why, then, will our farmers continue to
raise such seedy, shabby, miserable, worn
out stock? Why 2 Can they give any
reason for such conduct? Are they anx-
lous to sell their stock for double what they
are getting now for it? If so, then try the
experiment of improved stock. Let few
farmers in each neighborhood unite to-
gether and send one of their number to
Kentucky, and let one purchase fine bull,
one hne ram, one fine hog, and one q
fine stallion, and my word for it, in three
years, their profits from stock will be more
than double what they are now.
Come, farmers, shake off your indiffer-
ence to your own interests, wake UP from
your sleep, do as your brothers are doing
in other States, and show the world that
here, even here, you intend to move with
the world
Slovenliness, indifference, careles=ness
and Ignorance in farming may do for q
people who don't improve, and who don't
| care to improye-for a people who are con-
tent to remain poor; but they will not do
for people who are wide awake and
growing rich. No such people ever grow
rich, or educate their children, or improve
their houses, or plant shade trees or flow
ers, or take an agricultural paper, or take
stock In fair, or renovate their worn out
lands, or make prosperous community.
Such people purchase fruit trees from
adventurers at IS cents, when they could
get better trees, raised at home, by relia-
bic men, for 10 cents.

| amazing lndlfference?l FARMER.
