The Farrners, Club.

The club is to the farmer, old or
voting, a school, He is learning all the
time how to express his views clearly.
The; views of his neighbors draw out
new thoughts on new subjects, and
these thoughts find expression. Law
yers gain strength by long years of
study, and then by. practice at the bar.
The young lawyer making his first
speech is as miserable and as awkward
as the young farmer making his first
public effort. The lawyers business
compells him to swallow embarrassment
and annoyance, and goads him on to
effort upon effort. The young farmer
Lot feeling tile necessity for this, makes
no further venture. The lawye- goes
on and becomes famous as egocd ak
er and q fine reasoner. Thesan. prac-
tice would have made the young farm
er as good talker, and a stronger,
more efficient worker in his field OF
duty. The experiences of q club of
well educated farmers brings this skill
and strength. We advise the organiza-
ton Of township clubs on the simplest
plan. Arrang the meetings to suit the
convenience of all parties, and let the
attendance beas regular as church go

onen Windows at NIght.

Very much has been written on this
subject, and written unwiseiy. The
The facts are, that whoever sleeps un-
comfortably cool will get sick. To
hoist window sky high when MUIR
curry is down to Zero, is an absurdity.
The colder a sleeping apartment is the
more unhealthy does it become, be-
cause cold condenses the carbonic acid
formed, by Che breathing of the sleeper.
It settles near the floor and is rebreath-
ed, ond if in a very condensed form, he
will die before morning. Hence we
must be governed by, circumstances.
The first thing is, you must be comfort
ably warm during sleep, otherwise
you are not refreshed, and inflammation
of the lungs may be engendered and
life destroyed within few days. An
open door and an open fireplace are
sufficient for ordinary purposes in
cold weather. When outer windows
are open it is well to have them down
at the top two inches and up at the bot
tom for the samespace.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. , 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
''The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PEEPA-
RATION for its intended purposes

Under the above caption, the EZdoru
Ledger says: 'sThere is no taoie in the
census blanks to set forth to show how
many stgreat men" in public life have
reached eminence and wealth through
the potentiality of the pen editorial. It
would be rendering to Caesar, ii honor
able mentions could be made of the oe-
scure country editors, who have nsed
their ink to build up thC town, their
brains to elevate some insignificant
Country merchant, or a first class dema-
gogue to seats in the Legislature or
places in Congress. The press of Iowa
is responsible for bolstering up more
human frauds into high places than its
conductors think. Not more thankless
occupation is known than that of the
partisan editor, who in many cases has
TO eat dirt and go naked; toll hard to
keep the hands of an uncircunciSed
Sheriff from his Office; who steps into
the breach when character isto be lost,
and contumely won; who is continually
at work to make popular men gud prom
tinent candidates out Of certain pismires
which abound in all neighberhOods.-
Perhaps they never thank him for his
pains, and certainly never remunerate
him for the ink with which he eXtols
their honesty, talent and patriotism;
and every week describes their inlagi-
nary attributes OF virtue, Temperance,
and truth. Despite the fusilade of abuse
from dozen eowaTClly and jealous CO.
temporaries, he survives. By his fervoI
and favor these creatures are made
sshonorab,s men, He is button-holed
by twenty of his patrons, who insist
upon the. pledges that they shall have
his support for an Office. They appeal
to him by ties Of party and rersanguin-
ity, and when he faiteFi K: declares
that he cannot sup p6rbthe4n alisst thai

new paper, also to stop their subscrlp
tions, withdraw their advertisements
and abuse the. poor fellow ike very

these men in position. HIS pearls were
cast before swine which turn to reno
him These men all grow in popular
ity and riches. In purse the editor Il
poorer in many instances, than wheI
he commenced to ''write up'' these no

Texas CATTLE.---A Texas cattle drove,
writes to q Kansas paper that he is of the
opinion few cattle will be driven this
season by the old Texas Drovers, as manv
who were engaged in the business last
year lost SO heavily that they were con-.
PEELED to remain at home and recuperate
by the increase of their young stock
There are others who, discouraged by last
years experience, have abandoned thu
business altogether, and others who, rem
dered timorous by last seasons venture
are waiting and watching the market.and
as yet making no preparations to drive.
Notwithstanding the vast number of
cattle hitherto driven out of the state
Texas today has more cattle than ever
batore. 1t is estimated that bat one half
the increase IL taken each year from the
range. AS great number of our popula-
ton are wholly dependent on cattle for
the necessaries of life, this increase must
ind a market somewhere, aad in view of
the apathy Of our home drovsrs, we must.
IN great part, depend on MOI them drovers
TO come here and buy. sa
CATTLE in Texas are cow fifty per cent
lower than at this tiae last year. Beeves
may be bought at $40 to $1S per head
and young cattle in like proportion.

LESSONS FOR TEACHERS,

Do not assign a lesson fol young
pupils to prepare in half an hour
which, to prepare yourself upon so
as to hear it without book, would
require two hours,
Have common sense enough not
to expect your pupils to be more
thorough in the lesson without q book
than you are with the book.
Be Just enough not to use a book
at a recitation when you do not per-
nit the pupils to do so.
Have a definite, fixed length of
time for your recitations, and never
overreach it.
If YOU are forgettu!, make a pupil
in your class monitor, TO tell you
When to stop the lesson IN time TO
hear the review, or give the prepare
tory drill
Introduce every recitation by re.
viewing briefly the preceding les
son,
Conduct the recitation with view
to having the pupils realize the few
points involved.
Take time, before excusing the
class, to recapitulate points made.
Just before assigning the mex
lesson, give preparatory drills OIL
the coming hard points.
Be sure that the whole lesson ha
tested the reasoning power, not tn
memory of your pupils.
