"sTlCK TO YOUR BUSH. .


Mr.. Morgan was a rich, and alsoa good
man. The people of the town respected
him. sent him to Parliament, and seldom
undertook anything without asking his au-
vice. If school house, was to be built
the plan had to be talked over with him.
Widow P-asked him what she should
plant in her field; farmer always got
his advice in buying cattle. and Mrs. r.
consulted him about bringing her boys
When asked why he was so successful,
Mr.. Morgan said."I will tell how it was
One day, when was a lad, party oil
boys and girls were going to distant
pasture to pick wortleberries. | wanted
to go with them, but was fearful that my
father wonld not let me. When told
him what was going on, and he at once
gave me permission to go with them,
could hardly contain myself for JOY, and
rushed into the kitchen and got big bas-
ket, and asked mother for a luncheon. i
had the basket on my arm, and was Just
going out of the gate, when my father
called me back. He took hold of my hand
and said. in gentle voice.
Joseph, what are you going for, to pick
berries or to play
To pick berries, l replied.
Then. Joseph, want to tell you one
thing. 1t is this. When you find a pref
ty good bush, do not leave it to find
better one. The other boys and girls will
run about, picking little here and there,
wasting great deal of time, and not get
ting many berries, stick to your BUSH
Invent with the party and we had capt.
tai time. But 1t was just as my father said.
No sooner had one found good bush than
he called all the rest, and they left their
several places and ran off to the new
found treasure. Not content more than
minute or two in one place, they rambled
over the whole pasture, got very tired,
and at night had but very few berries.
My fathers words kept ringing in my ears
and "stuck to my BUSH When l had
done with one, found another, and fin
ished that then took another. When
night came. mad large basketful Of nice
berries, more than all the others put to-
gether, and was not half so tired as they
were. went home happy. But when
entered, found my father had been taker
i'll. He looked at my basket full of ripe
blackberries, and said -
'WeH done, Joseph Was it not just
as told you? Always stick to your bush. .
He died few days after. and had to
make my way in the world as best could.
But my fathers words sunk deep into my
mind. and never forgot the experience
of the wortleberry party--I ''stuck to my
bush. When had a fair place, and was
doing tolerably well. did not leave it
and spend weeks and moatbs in finding
one little better. When other young
men said. Come with us. and we will
make a fortune in few weeks" | shook
my head and "stuck to my bush" Pres
entity my employers offered to take me into
business with them. I stayed with the
old house until the principals died. and
then had everything | wanted. The
habit of sticking to my business led peo-
pie to trust me, and gave me character

Game Hens and Ducks.

A writer in the Canadian Poultry
Chronicle gives the following as his
experience with the laying qualities
of game hens and ducks:
There are few fowls more prolific
than game, and where there is n
good wide range of any kind, no
fowls will prove more profitable, the
black breasted red variety being the
best. They eat little in proportion
to larger fowls, and are very good
layers ; but they cannot be kept in
close confinement on account of
their fighting propensities, No
%fancier that Can find a suitable place
in his poultry-pard but should have
u few ducks. Their appetite is such
hat almost any kind of food will
supply them ; they pick up the
waste food left by other fowls and
grow fat on it. In the barn-yard,
in gardens, and in pasture lands
they are alike useful and beneficial.
There are three kinds which now
stand high among breeders, name
ly: The Aylesbury, which is pure
white ; the Rouen, which in color
resembles the wild Mallard and
the Cayuga. which are pure black,
except occasional white spots on
the breast,

nests for laying their eggs, the eggs
ought to be removed from the nests
several times Il day.
4. The eggs ought to be assorted
according to age, and preserved in
boxes with the covers always par
TALLY open. These boxes must be
kept in a cool, airy and perfectly
dry place.
s. At the commencement of win
ter the store of eggs is placed in
some room that is not heated by a
fire, but that is, at the same, thor
oughly protected from frost.
6. The packages r so arranged
that the oldest may be used first.
Eggs treated according to these
rules do not acquire the peculiar
taste which is generally the result of
the recipes in vogue for preserving
eggs.

Narrow Gauge Railroads.
From the Philadelphia Age.

. NV . hS''l
Much has been said lately about
the practicability of narrow gauge
railroads. The first road of this des-
cription opened in this country for
passenger travel and freight is the
"Denver and Rio Grande," run
ming between Denver and Colorado

declared a complete success. 1t has
Il three foot track, the rails weighing
only 80 pounds to the yard, and the
maximum curvature six degrees to
tho 100 feet, the maximum grade
being Is feet to the mile. The pas
senger engines weigh twelve tons,
and cost only $500, and the freight
engines fifteen tons, costing $500.
The cost per mile of building, as
equipped, is $l4,5OO, which, on ac-
count of high transportation, charg-
es on material from the east, is
greater than the cost of a similar
road would be in this part OF the
country. The estimated cash cost
OF snch a line here is from SO. 900
10000 per mile. An excursion
was made over the rold on its COIN
pletion, between the points mention

miles an hour. The cars are neces.

The Worlds Fair Of 1873.

Americans should remember that
Vienna is to have n worlds fair in
1873. At the Paris exhibition OF
1867 nearly everything sent from
this country took a prize, and there
is no reason why the same thing
should not be repeated at Vienna in
1873. The exhibition will undoubt-
eddy be the largest that has eve yet
been seen. The park set apart for
the exhibition contains four times
as many square yards as has ever
been similarly occupied, and the
principal building alone will have a
length of 4 $50 feet. The committee

Corn Planting and Growing.

A respondent Of the Farmers
Union offers n few words on the sub
jcct OF corn planting and growing,
and 81 the time is at hand for far
mers to lay out their plans for the
forthcoming corn crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns. He says:
In raising corn the crop should
be put in the ground not only for
his own profit, but also with n view
to future crops that the farmer may
desire to raise afterward. l would
recommend to lay off the ground
for planting at least four feet and a
half the north o south way, 80 that
tho sun may have u fair chance,
which is the best Moderator that
can possibly be found, when the
conditions are right for its congo
NAL influence. The east and west
way I would lay out about two and
a half or three feet, and let remain
in the hill two stalks only. I would
recommend that planting should
be done earlier in the season, by
about eight or ten days, than the
majority of farmers are in the habit
Of doing in this vicinity. | have
noticed that as a general thing ear
ly planting has produced the best
results by far.
Before planting be sure that your
seed is good, for if it is not, you
will be likely not only to lose your
crop, but your ground will be neg
lected and your future crop will be
affected by the neglect.
1t is a certain fact that working
land and exposing it to the elements
produces what / call n chemical ac-
ton, which is beneficial to its pro.
ducins qualities, and every time it
is stirred produces a new action. /
don't believe it will have so good an
| effect to stir it too often, neither
must it be too long after it has been
stirred. As a general rule it should
be gone through with just the day
before the weeds make their appear
ance at the surface. / have often
heard farmers say; "My corn is
perfectly clean it is not necessary
to go through it," All / under
stand, not necessary in order to kill
the weeds, but should there not be
a weed grow through the whole sea-
son, you would not 80 through it at
oil, l suppose. MOI so, however.
Go through it just as often, not
necessarily to work deep, but the
shallower the better, if it is clean.
Plow deep and work shallow and
often, is the rule. Should recon-
mend that the rows be marked very
plain, so that they can be gone
through with by the time the corn
is fairly out of the ground 4; then
the weeds will be out of the way for
the season Don't neglect this last
suggestion. Observe the foregoing,
and my word for it, if any one in
the neighborhood has good corn,
you will be the man, and your land
will be improved also.
