The editor Of the Houston lTexas) Telegraph says
he has long entertained the belief that nothing
would tend much to restore good feeling between
the sections OF the United States Christian cour~

Employment.

God pity the man who has nothing to
do Idleness is the mother of more mis-
cry and crime than all other causes ever
thought of or dreamed of by the profoun-
dest thinker, the widest theorist.
The idea that labor-manual labor
is degrading, is not only foolish, but wick
ed? Toe proud to work Strange pride,
better do anything than nothing. Labor
il the basis of wealth, of science of art, of
everything which gives comfort to the ply
seal. and dignity to the spiritual man.
Too proud to work
The devil is always most busy with
those who are idle. If they don't work
he will.
A mind uncultivated will run to water
as sure as a neglected garden will be full
of weeds. and cropless. The physical or
ganizatiOn requires action, work. He
who can lift but twenty pounds to-day,
practice and a temperate use of the physi-
cal organs. may by and by astonish the
world with his Hereulean performance.
Look at the young man who has no
steady employment of any kind. See the
bad habits that are by degrees growing
upon him. Watch his progress in dissipa-
ton and his end in crime. And should he
have courage and strength sufficient left, af-
ter years of Incidence, to break away from
the degrading habit. how much of precious
time will he have lost! How much will
he long to live over the wasted hours and
years-so that he might better improve
them.

The Revenue BILL Passed by the
LEGISLATURE.

The Revenue Bill which has passed both
Houses of the Tennessee Legislature and
is now a law, provides that the State tax
and every hundred dollars of taxable pro-
perty shall be sixty cents.
In addition to the dd UGlOrem tax paid
by merchants ON their capital, they are re-
quired to pay an equal amoun as a license
tax, but in no case to pay a license tax of
less than So.
Insurance companies are to pay an an
nual privilege tax of twenty -fye dollars for
doing business in the State, and ten dol
lars for each county in which they do bust
ness. Agents are subject to a fine of not
less than n hundred nor more than five
hundred dollars for failing to procure Ii
cense.
Railroad and other incorporated COM
panies shall pay six mills on the dollar of
their net earnings.
Commercial agents usually known as
drummers) representing parties, non-resi-
dents of this State, selling either by sam
pie or by representation, are to pay fifty
dollars, and to each county in which they
may do business, five dollars. A failure
to procure license subjects such persons to
a fine of 500.
The act takes effect from and after the
passage. The bill will very materially in
crease our State revenue, but according to
the statement of Treasurer Morrow, will
fall short of meeting our obligations.

In0ri0rS

One thing is certain, if we sell or slauSh-
and thus cut off all hope of any improve
ment at one blow, our stock must con-
tInune to be poor and inferior. Does n
heifer show any disposition to fatten east
"? She is Encouraged to feed until fat, and
is then sold and eaten, while her fellows,
who belong to the same breed with Pha-
roah'sl lean kline, are kept for milk or rear
ing calves. because they are not and cam
not be made fat for the butcher. Has a
farmer a SOW pig which becomes fat upon
the feed on which the rest of his pigs are
starving? He gives her over to the butch
er's knife and propagates from ''land
shadsr and corn-cribs. Has he a fine,
bright-eyed eve? She will be fat about
the time his half filled pork barrels
are empty and she is striped of her fair
skin and fair proportions simply because
she is worth the trouble of killing, and
thus many of our farmars perpetuate a
breed of animals that are 4 disgrace to the
country. They seem uneasy while they
possess an animal that will draw the at
tention of their neighbors or the butch
ers, and woe be to it if put on a better ap-
p~earance thar its fellows. for from that
time its doom is sealed. To improve the
breed OF animals, it is by no means nee
essary to incur a great expense in bring
ing animals from a distance. If a farmer
will mount his horse and ride across the
countr some fine day. and view the live
stock ofhis neigh5ors, he will soon per-
ceive thai there aye abundant means of
lettering his circumstances by a cross or
exchange at a slight cost, and he by this
plan is improving his judgment by compar-
ison, and boarding mp experience for a
future day that will be of more v"lue to
him than the expense ofmany such excur-
sions; and improvements once begun
and persisted in for a short time, will
produce such a corresponding improve
ment in the mind and circumstances OF
the farmer as will ensure its continuation,
and richly rewarded all his labor and
outlay.
Many farmers destroy the hope of i'm
proving their stock by n system of false
economy III the selection of the males
from which TO breed their stock; many do
not keep a male from which to breed
their horses or horned stock, nor is it
necessary. as one will do for neighbour
hood; but this one should be the best;
and in order to keep a good one; a good
price must and should be charged for his
services. Many farmers loose thirty and
even fifty dollars i'll the value ola grown
horse. steer, OK or cow, by Il system of
false ecouomy-b by not being willing to
pay two or three dollars more for the
of n male, l nave repeatedly

neighbours farm at a cost of twenty-five

SaltfarSWinc.

While all other domestic animals are
regularly supplied with salt, the hog is
generally neglected. He requires. howev-
err. to be as constantly supplied as the OK,
the horse, or the sheep. and suffers as
much from psivation as either of the above
named animals do. His food is almost
invariably given to him in a fresh, unseas-
oned state, and to this fact we may doubt
less attribute many of the violent and ia
tai diseases to which he is subject, and
which stagger all remedies, however quick
ly and skillfully administered. If the
food be not regularly seasoned, there shall
be a trough or box in every sty, in which
salt may be deposited regularly for the
use of the animals. Seasoning the food of
the hog as mentioned above let it be I'M
derstood that salt only is here alluded to.
for if any person should try seasoning with
pepper, they will make a great mistake,
for as much pepper as will suffice for a
mans dinner will kill a hog.

Interesting il True.

Two hundred pounds weight of earth
was dried in an oven, and afterwards was
put into an earthen vessel. The earth
was then moistened with rain water, and a
willow tree weighing FIVE hundred pounds
was placed therein. During five years the
earth was watered with rain or pure water !;
the willow grew and aourished, and to
prevent mixing with fresh earth and dust
from some source, it was covered with a
metal plate, numerously perforated to ad-
NIT air only. After growing in the air
FIVE years, the tree was removed and found
to weigh one hundred and sixty-four
pounds plus, and the earth in the vessel
being removed, dried and weighed. was
found to have lost two ounces of its ORR
ginal weight. Thus one hundred and six
ty-four pounds of woody fibre, bark and
roots, were certainly produced /; but from
what source unless the air?

success in Farming.

l have to-day visited a neighbor whose
farm contains only tw~enty-eight acres.
He has owned it and managed it for many
years. His stock this year consisted of
several horses and oxen and twenty-eight
cows, in addition to a considerable num-
Der of fowls. He grows no fancy stock of
any kind sells milk, cream, roots, poultry
and eggs. He buys some grain for his
poultry and some meal for his cows, though
be has a good field of corn every year.
All of the pasture required for his large
stock, and all the hay and other long fod-
der consumed on the place, together with
a good supply of apples, are the product
of his twenty-eight acres of land. The
great secret of his success is to be sought
in plenty of manure and thorough word,
managed, of course, in the most skillful
manner. His cash sales for 1870 will
fall but little, if any, short of $4,000.
have another neighbor who begun with
a fine farm of over one hundred acres,
and capital enough to have made a first
rate farmer of an energetic man. He has
probably never sold enough from his place
to pay his yearly bills, and his land has
run down to low-water mark. These two
men, living in the same township. and
with equal facilities, illustrate perfectly
the truth / have endeavored to set forth
above. The one went to work in an over
cautious, penny-wise way, scrimping here
and s~crimping there, trying to cheat ma
ture out of her just dues; and he has
come to grief. The other went into farm
ing as a business that was worthy of his
best efforts, and whenever he saw an op-
p~ortunity to invest a dollar in his farm to
good advantage. he made the investment as
soon as lie could get the dollar. He acted
on the belief that no bank in the word will
pay such good interest as well-farmed
land and, so far as the plain and simple
farming he has followed afforded him the
opportunity, be has omitted nothing
nothing that could add to his facilities.
The result is, that he is more than fore
handed. and that, if he had his life to live
over again, he would turn his attention to
farming as the best opening that.offers it
self to a young man of energy and ability

Trimming Apple Trees.

When it becomes necessary to remove
large limbs from apple trees, at what time
should it be done to best secure the heal
ing of the wound? Can anything be put
on the stump to prevent its becoming dry
and cracking?-E. Z. F., Zdnevile. o.
There is scarcely a week or month in the
whole year that has not been set apart by
some one or more of our high authoriti es
rs the very best time to prune trees.
Our correspondent, therefore, cannot go
far wrong, and we would advise him to
prune his apple trees just as soon as pos
sible after reading this notice. Do not
wait ill the trees freeze or the sap begins
to flow in spring. for both are very bad
seasons to do such work. Giving the
wounds made in removing large branches
a coat of hot grating wax, will certainly
be very beneficial. as it prevents decay.
Apply common grating wax, hot, and then
dust fine sand over it. and as much as will
adhere. A very thick coat is not necessary,
nor as good as a thin one. Gum shellac,
Dissolved in alcahoL is also a good materi-
al to cover the wounds; is much more con-
v~enient to apply, and is always in condi-
ton for use either in cold or hot weather.
To insure the adherence of either the wax
or the shellac, allow the wound to dry for
a day or two before being covered, but do
not forget them altogether, as we fear
many persons have done, who omitted to
apply something of the kind at the time of
pruning uTal Neao Yorker.
