SERv1LE PEoPLE,-SOme men are
afraid of making enemies, and this is
well. But when this fear amounts TO
servility, it is not well. As a general
rule, the man who has no enemies is n
mere drOne in the great hive of created
intelligence. He ia. a milk-and- water
man, who contents himself with doing
no harm, while it il notorious that he is
doing no good. Such men are time
serving fence-riding gO-betweens, who
creep after men of positionand property,
and hyn0oFiticany bow to menin humble
walks of life. They. take no part in
public sentiment, and smile and smirlz
upon all they come in contact with.
They usually glide through life undis-
tT1rbcd, and sink into obscure graves,
"Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."
Their bones are marrowless, and though
their heads are not brainless, their lives
are useless. 1T is better far to do some
harm occasionally, than never to do any
good.

ANECDOTE OF REV. PETER CART
WRIGHT.--Many anecdotes could be told
of this eccentric and talented man, but
there is one too good to let pass. He
once had dispute with with doctor
relative to religion. The doctor said he
wanted honest and unequivocal answers
to few questions.
Did you ever hear reigiOn?"
"NO."
Did you ever smell religion?"
Did you you ever taste religion?"
Did you ever feel rcligion7"
"Now, then" said the doctor, with ap-
parent triumph, II have proved beyond
a doubt, by four respectable witnesses,
that religion is not seen, heard, smelled
or tasted, and but one solitary witness,
feeling, has testified that tits an expert
mental fact. The weight of evidence is
overwhelming, and you must give it up.
Cartwright asked:
Did you ever see pain?"
Did you ever hear pain?"
Did you ever smell a pain?"
"No."
Did you ever taste pain7"
mo"
Did you ever feel a pain?"
Certainly, did, sir"
The, doctor and his family were con-
verified

ANOTHER PLAN
SnoIlIng-Horses, Feet.

It is almost impossible to get a
horse shod without having the frogs
cut away. All veterinary surgeons,
all horse men, all leading black
smiths, agree that the frog should
not be pared enc particle-not even
trimmed. No matter how pliable
and soft the frog is, cut it away
smooth on all sides, and in two days
it will be bright and hard as a chip.
You might as well cut off all the
leaves of trees and expect them to
flourish as to pare away the frog and
have a healthy foot. The rough,
spongy part of the frog is to the
foot what leaves are to the trees
the lungs.
Never have a red-hot shoe put up
on the foot to burn it level. If you
can find a blacksmith that is me-
chanic enough to level the foot with
out red-hot iron, employ him. The
burning process deadens the hoof,
and tends to contract it. II you do
not think so, try the red-hot poker
on your fnger-nail, and see how it
will affect the growth of that.
There are many other importants
points in shoeing horses, but these
two are of more importance than
all the rest, level to the appreheu-
sion of men not skilled in horses,
and the two most disregarded.-

Insanity.

That all forms of mental and NOR
al disease are symptoms of morbid
conditions of the brain, is now as
well established as any fact of
science. The elaborate researches
of Prof. Shraedar van der Kolk and
other European observers, have
shown most clearly that the brain of
patients who die insane, idiotic, or
imbecile, give evidence on micro
scopic examination, of diseased con-
ditions sufficient to account for all
the symptoms they may have exhib-
tied. Insanity, being then a symp-
tom of disease of the brain, is not
found among the inferior species,
who have little or no nervous sys-
tenn. and only exceptionally among
the higher orders of animals. It Is
comparatively rare among the wild
and baf barous tribes. As would
logically be expected, its manifesto
tons are most frequent and most Sc
we're in civilized communities, and
among the intellectual or rolling
classes. Insanity increases in fire.
quency and in violence with the pro-
progress of civilization, and is, in
deed, a part of the price that we pay
for intellectually and refinement. 1t
was never before so common as at
the present day, and it appears TO
be rapidly increasing and multiply
ing its phases, in direct proportion
to our progress in art, in science, in
literature, in trade, in finance, and in
all the departments of modern &C
tivity through which the brain is so
constantly harassed and overwork-
ed. While we escape or recover
from the many of the infammations
and fevers that decimate the savage
tribes, and are, on the whole, health
Ter and longer-lived, we are yet at
iicted with q thousand phases of in
sanity to which they are compare
lively strangers.

About Digging Potatoes.

In harvesting potatoes, different
plans are observed by different per-
sons. By some they are dug quite
early, as soon as the tops are partial
ly decayed, and Immediately taken
to the cellar. By others they are
left until there is danger of the
freezing of the ground.
In our youth we assisted in dig
ing from 300 to 700 bushels of pota-
toes annually, and the practice WAS
to throw them into baskets as fast
as they were dug, and from the bas-
kets into the cart. When the cart
was full, they were Immediately
taken into the cellar, These pota-
toes, of various kinds, were usually
excellent in quality, being mealy,
and of agreeable flavor. They were
grown on new ground, which would
partly account for their good qaul-
ity.
Which is the most appropriate
time to lift them, early or late?
On looking over Professor Goad-
by's work on vegetable and Animal
Physiology" we find a table which
may throw light upon the above
question. He says that cit was
found by experimen that 24O pounds
of potatoes left in the ground con
tanned of starch In August, % to
25 pounds (; September, 80 to SO
pounds; October, 80 to 40 pounds !;
November, 50 to As pounds April,
80 to .28 pounds; May, % to 20
pounds"
The quantity of starch remained
the same during the dormant state
in winter, but decreased as soon as
the plant began to grow.
From our own observation we are
inclined to think that the potato is
better off in dry ground in its native
bed until some timR in October, if
not endangered by worms or floods,
and that they are better not to be
exposed much to sun or wind.

Value Of Poultry Manure.

From actual experiment it has
been found that the droppings from
four Brahmas for one night weighed
in one case exactly 1 h., and In
another more than I h., an average
of nearly four ounces each bird. By
drying. this vas reduced to not
quite II ounces. Other breeds make
less ; but. allowing only l ounce per
bird daily of dry dung, fifty fowls
will make, in their roosting house
alone, 10 cwt. per annum of the
best manure In the world. Hence /
an acre of poultry will make more
than enough manure for 1 acre of
land, Z cwt. of guano being the usual
quantity per acre, and poultry man
ure being even richer than guano In
ammonia and ftriliz pg salts. No
other stock will give an equal re-
turn in this way and these figures
demand careful at ention from the
large farmer. The manure. before
using, should he mixed with twice
its bulk of earth, and then allowed
to stand in a heap, covered with a
few inches of earth till decomposed
throughout, when it makes the very
best manure which can be had.

Treat the Cows Kindly.

There are too many who exhibit
roughness of treatment toward the
COW; and yet no domestic animals
are more sensitive, or more quickly
feel the unkindness shown them.
They can be made docile and mild in
their disposition or timid and wild,
just in accordance with the treat
ment they receive from the herder
and mixer; and it is a well estab-
lished fact that cow will transmit
her disposition In a great degree to
her progeny. A rough, quick-tem-
pered person should never be en-
ployed as a mixer and one who
will on any pretense whatever, kick
or strike COW, should be kicked in
turn, from the barn-yard into the
street, and never be allowed to re-
turn. Gentleness will increase the
quantity of milk, as has been shown
by change of cruel and irascible
TO one who practiced kind and gem
tic treatment. It is an injury to
COWS to be driven faster than an
easy walk, to or from their pastures.
To be urged on by thougbtless boys,
and these perhaps on horseback, is
to produce fever and heating of the
blood which is sure to dry up or les
sen the flow of milk. Cows should
always be made as comfortable as
possible, summer and winter; it-pays
to Go it.-Pdcitfc Rural Press.
