A Recipe for Happiness.

1t is simply when you rise in the
morning to form the resolution to
make the day happy one to fel-
low creature. 1t is easily done; a
left off garment to the man who
needs it; word to the sorrowful;
an encouraging expression to the
striving-trihes in themselves as
light as air-will do it, at least for
twenty-four hours; and if you are
young depend upon it that it will
tell when you are old; and if you
are old, rest assured it will send you
gently and happily down the stream
Of time to eternity. Look at the re-
suit. You send one person-only
one-happily through the day; that
is three hundred and sixty-five in
the course of a year; and suppose
YOU live forty years only after you
commence this course, You have
made fourteen thousand six hundred
human beings happy, AT least for a
time. Now, worthy reader, is not
this simple? We do not often in
dulge in a moral dose; but this is
so small a pill, that no one needs
currant jelly to disguise its flavor,
and requires to be taken but once a
day, that we feel warranted in pre-
Scribing it. 1t is most excellent for
digestion, and promoter Of pleas
ant slumber.

New System Of Rose Culture.
! Some French and English Hort

Some French and English Horti-
culturists have been. experimenting
for three or four years on new sys-
TEN Of rose culture, which may be
briefly stated thus: "First, prune
out all the old wood; second, short
en- the new wood very little, peg
the new wood flat down to the
earth" The rose is thus allowed
to bloom as the raspberry bears
only on the new wood, and that
slightly pruned.
AS unlike the common way as this
is, the effect is said to be very fine.
The young shoots pegged to the
ground produce greater abundance
of bloom, although, perhaps, dimin-
ishcd in size. When a rose stalk
stands upright, the stronger tender
cy of the sap has the effect to null
tiply the roses near the top; while,
when trained upon the earth, the
sap works more evenly throughout
the length Of the stalk. This is
shown both in bloom and in the
multitudinous upward shooting of
stems from the main stalk. The eff
feet of this new mode of training
would, no doubt, be very fine in COW
ering sloping banks and mounds,
and also in the more rapid produc-
ton of small roses for bouquets.
It's novelty will, no doubt, COM
mend it to all amateurs who have
time and inclination to experiment.
No plant requires closer pruning
than the rose, the finest blooms are
always found upon the stalks which
shoot forth from the root, showing
the Importance of severe cutting
away OF the old wood. The bush
should always be trimmed SO as to
open its branches as much rs posi-
bic, for it likes the sun. The more
sunlight the rose receives, the more
rapid the growth and the more
beautiful and numerous it's flowers.
Of the Farm.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1871-02-10
How to Make Farm Life Attractive.

l. By less hard work Farmers
often undertake more than they can
do well, and consequently work too
early and too late.
2. By more system. The farmers
should have time to begin and
stop labor. They should put more
mind and machinery into their work.
They should theorize as well as
practice, and let 10th go together.
Farming is healthy, moral and re-
spectacle; and, in the long Iun, may
be made profitable. The farmer
should keep good stock, and out OF
debt
3. BY taking care of health.
Farmers have a healthy variety OF
exercise, but too often neglect clean
Illness, eat irreguiarly and hurridly,
sleep in ill-ventilated apartments,
and expose themselves needlessly to
cold.
4. BY adorning the home. Books,
papers, pictures, music, and reading
should all be brought to bear upon
the indoor entertainments: and
neatness and comfort, order, shrub
berry, flowers and fruit should har-
monte all without. There would
be fewer descrtions of old home
stcads If pains were taken to make
them agreeable. Ease, order, health
and beauty are compatible with farm
life, and were ordained to 90 with
il.

Hard Times"

The farmer who owns his land, is
free from debt, has tolerable i'm
proyements, cannot comprehend the
full meaning Of "hard times"
Hence, farming is the best and sur
est vocation for the mass of the
people; as general result it does
not lead to wealth and luxury, but
1T may insure competence and even
abundance. To the iaded, unfortu-
nate, business man, there is no
prospect that looks so enticing as
that of beautiful farm, well inn
proved, fully stocked, and carefully
titled. 1t is a haven of rest, where
the corroding care and life-sapping
:anxieties Of a city business are I'M
known; domain over which he is
king, and where he may enforce his
will undisputed by any one. The true
pleasure of a farmers vocation con-
sists in his intimate relation to ma
ture, and his possession ofall ration
al enjoyments Of life.
Why, then; do we hear the com
plant from so large a mass of the
farmers that shines are hard?"
The answer is, they are in debt.
Debt is 4 curse that entails far
greater hardships than the fiat which
pronounced the doom Of man to till
the soil and earn his bread by the
sweat Of his brow. War prices and
war currency afflicted a large por-
ton of farmers with a greed of gain,
which they INDUCED by plunging
into debt. They were not content
with securing good homes, fitting
them up in comfort and laying some
thing by for rainy day, but they
grew lustful for broad acres, and
Injuries which can only be enjoyed
in large cities, and are but burdens
to country life, and now that rcvers-
es cut short expected incomes, the
pressure of debt is felt, and the cry
is "hard times"
If We could teach only one pre-
cept with force to farmers, it would
be this: Make yourself independent.
Owe no man anything. Make your
business snug and safe, instead of
expensive and risky. Then you can
sit by your own hearthsides, and, if
"hard tines looks in at the window
you can laugh in his face.
