A short time since, the Agricultur,
al and horticultural Club of Bush
will, ILL.,, appointed q committee te
report on the best kind of farm stock
to breed. In their report, now be-
fore US; we find that they would re.
commend the ,breeding of two dis
tinct classes of horses. Heavy draft
for farm purposes, and medium size
for the road.
Further in reference to the farm
horses, the committee say: We
should bear in mind when breeding
that we should add to the weight,
bone and muscle for farm purposes,
as there has been an over supply OF
trifling horses, bred and raised in our
country for the few years past, that
we have suffered materially in the
way of work and price. All this
comes from breeding small, unsound
mares to horses of the same kind
That there is such a thing as heredi-
tary diseases I'm horses. has been long
settled beyond a doubt. Both mares
and horses of an unhealthy origin
should not be bred to nor FROM
They should be threwn aside as soon
as possible, and not be bred at ALL
They can be used for some purposes,
such as hack and pack animals. un-
til they become extinct, that ear be
brought about by not breeding them
any more. The blood and origin of
both horses and mares should be we'll
looked to before breeding. For farm
purposes we would recommend the
Norman or English draft horses, as
they have all the necessary requires
ments for farm purposes, by crossing
our very best mares to such horses as
these, we will find ourselves greatly
benefited.
For road purposes we would recon-
mend those of a medium size, COM
pact built, of clean, fiat limb, feet
footed, and thorough bred. The
Morgan and Hambletonian stock are
highly recommended by u best
writers on the horse as the best
horses for road purposes. They are
good walkers, good trotters, and of
great endurance.
We cannot see why horses cannot
be raised to be profitable, As we'll as
any other kind of stock. Horses of
the kind spoken of and recommend
cd are always very much sought
after.
Our best and heaviest mares may
be bred to jacks to profit, as we'll al
horses for farm purposes.

Rule for Getting Out of Bed.

DIR. Hall says: 1t is q very great
and mischisvous mistake for persons
old or young, especially children and
feeble or sedentary persons, to bound
out of bed the moment they wake up
all our instincts shrink from 1t and
fiercely kick against Ii. Fifteen or
twenty minutes spent In gradually
waking up, after the eyes are opened
and in turning over and stretching
the limbs, do as much good as sound
sleep, because thsss operations set the
blood in motion by degrees. tending
to equalize the circulation. for, dur.
Ing sleep the blood tends to stagna-
ton, the heart beats feebiy aud slow,
and to shock the system by bouncing
up In an instant and sending the
blood in overw helming quantities to
the heart, causing it to IA a gal
lop, when the instant before 1t was
In a creep, is the height of absurdity.
This sudden bouncing out of bed
as soon rs the eyes Are opened, will
be followed by WEAKNESS long before
noon.

A Great Farmers Maxfms

The successful life of Mr.. Jacob
Strawn, the prince OF American farm.
ers. Is attributed to the close observa.
ton of the following maxims, origin
ated by himself:
Make your fencing high and strong
SD that 1t will keep cattle and pigs
out. If you have brush, make your
lots ecure and keep your hogs from
the corn.
BE sure to get your hands TO bed by
seven o'clock-they will rise early by
force of circumstances.
Pay hand, If he is a poor hand,
all you promise him; If he is a good
hand, pay him a little more +; 1t will
encourage him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as well as
you feed yourself, for the laboring
me are the bone and sinew of the
land, and ought to have the best of
treatment.
L am well satisfied that getting up
early, industry and regular habits,
are the best medicine ever prescribed
for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes,
SO that you can't work out doors, cut
split and haul your wood. Make
your racks, fix your fence or gate
and patch the roof of your barn or
house.
Study your interest closely, and do
not spend time i'm electing Presi.
dents, Senators, and other smaller
officers, or talk of hard times, when
spending your timeIin whiting store
boxes, etc.
Take your time. and make calcu-
lations. don't do things I'm a hurry,
and keep your mind as well as your
body employed.

Beware Of One Sin.

While [ was walking in the garden one
bright morning, a breeze came through and
set all the leaves and flowers fatteriug
Now that is the way flowers talk, so pricked
up my ear and listened.
Presently an elder tree said, Flowers
shake off your caterpillars.
:. Why?2 said a dozen altogether, for they
were like some children who always say
!" why" when the are told TO do anything
Bad children those.
The eldest said, 'sIf you don they'll COB
bic you up"
So the flowers set themselves o shaking
till the caserpillars were shaken of.
Ia Que Of the middle beds there was a beau
tIiuI rose, which shook off all but one, anc
she said to herself, Oh, that's a beauty, Ii
keep that one" The elder overheard her
aud called out, g One caterpillar is eieussh- t.
spoil you"
But" said the Rose, look at his brown
and crimson fur, and his beautiful black
eyes, and scores Of little feet, | wa Mt to keel
him. Surely one won't hurt me-.
A few mouths after, passed the rose again
There was not whole leaf on her; her beau
ty was gone, she was almost killed, and hat
only life enough to weep over her folly, Will
the tears stood like dcw-drops on her latter
ed leaves 6 Alas, [ didn't think one cater
pillar would ruin me,
One sin INDUCED is ruin.

Il treated her as kindly as I could, for 1
loved her dearly at the time" replied Squire
W
"Wsll sir" said the governor, "go home
and court her just as you did then, and love
her as when you married her. Do this in
the fear of God fer one year, and then tell
me the result"
The governor then said, "Let US pray"
They bowed in prayer and Separated
When year had passed away Squire W
called again TO see the governor, and said,
II have called to thank you for the good

By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the blue-g grass culver,
Asleep Ger the ranks of the dead.
Under tho sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one the blue,
Under the other the gray.
Those in the robings of glory,
These in the gloom of defeat;
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the laurel the blue,
Under the willow the gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners 60
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses the blue,
Under the lilies the gray.
No more shall the warcry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our angel forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dead.
Under the sod an d the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the cray.
