when to Sell Farm Products.

A good point was made by the editor
of the American Rural Home when he
said that the man who could give adj
vice as to the exact time when
it is best to sell farm products,
had best leave his pen and go into
trade, as his knowledge would enable
him to accumulate millions in the pur-
chase of these farm products. In other
words, it is impossible for any man to
predict with certainty future prices.
The safest rule for the farmer we be-
lieve to be to sell when his farm pro-
ducts are ready for market, especially
if he need money with which to pay his
debts or make purchases or improve
ments. OF two farmers, one following
this plan and the other invariably
holding for higher prices, we believe
the first will be the better offat the end
of a score Of years. He who sells early
saves wastage, shrinkage, storage, risk
of total loss from fire or other cause,
and has the use Of his money at an
earlier period.
There are cases when the prospect for
an improvement in price is so good that
the risk in holding is but slight. But
if any farmer feels himself obliged to
act on one unchanging rule, we would
advise him to make it rule to sell as
o0oY, ar tha rr0duct oop he erct to mar
ket in good condition.
There are many farmers who faitL-
fully endeavor to hold over grain and
other produce at all times, and others
who will not sell even when prices are
fair, in the hope of a still further rise.
We would seriously impress the rule
as one of gold, to sell when prices are
fairly remunerative.
Let our farmers ponder over the
foregoing ideas.

The Philosophy of Marriage.

What Theodore Parker knew about
the "blessed estate of matrimony" is
told in this extract: sfYeung people
marry their opposite in temper and
general character, and such q marriage
Is commonly good match. They do
instinctively. The man does not say,
My black eyes require to be wed with
| blue, and my over-vehemence require
to be a little modified with somewhat
of dullness and reserve When these
opposites come together to be wed
they do not know it; each thinks the
other just like itself. Old people never
marry their Opposites; they marry
their similars, and from their calcutta
ton. Each of these two arrangements
is very proper. In their long journey
these two young opposites will tall out
by the way great many times; but
each will charm the other back again,
and by and by they will be agreed as
to the place they will go to and the road
they will go by, and become reconclled.
The man will be nobler and larger for
being associated with so much human
ity unlike himself, and she will be
nObIer woman for having manhood be-
side her that seeks to correct her deti-
ciencies and supply her with what she
lacks, if the diversity be not too great.
The old bridegroom, having much
shorter Journey to make, must assOcl-
ate himself with one like himself. Men
and women are married fractionally,
now a small fraction, then large frac-
ton. Very few are married totally,
and they only, I think, after some forty
or fifty wears OF gradual approach and
experiment Such a large and sweet
fruit is a complete marriage that it
needs very long summer to ripen In,
and then long winter to mellow and
season it.n

The following are the opening para

"Arthur Bonnieastle," begun in Scrib-

Life looks beautiful from both ex-
tremities. Prospect and retrospect
shine alike in a light so divine as to
suggest that the first catches some radi-
ance from the gates, not yet closed, by
which the soul has entered, and that
the last is illuminated from the opening
realm into which it is soon to pass.
Now that they are all gone, wrap
myself in dreams Of them, and live over
the old days with them. Even the
feeblest memory, that cannot hold for q
moment the events of to-day, keeps q
firm grasp upon the things of youth,
and rejoices in its treasures. 1t is q
curious process-this of feeling ones

ones self again with the little France

Order and Neatness about the
Homestead. s


Too many farmers are careless as to
the appearance Of things about their
residences. They permit outbuildings
and yard fences to become dilapidated.
Their barns lack q few weather boards
and the barn doors are crippled in the
hinges and have bad iatches. Several
boards are gone from the fences; some
of the latter lean half way over to the
ground, and the gates drag. In addi-
ton to these things, the yard is filled
up with farming implements, boards,
rails, wood, cid sleds and trash of vari-
GUS kinds. At a homestead where you
see this condition of things, you seldom
see a single trace of the paint brush or
the @hftewash brush. Barns and
fences havethe color the elements gave
them.
No prosperous farmer should allow
his premises to present such an appear
ance. First, on account of the looks.
The farmer can not be entirely desti-
tute of pride. He should be ambitious
to have pleasant and beautiful home
as well as profitable farm. The in
dustrious farmer and his worthy fam
lily have as clear right to a slightly
home as the family of the merchant OF
La wyer. We do not favor extrava-
gance in the home surroundings. Far
from it. We only urge that order,
neatness and beauty shall not be lost
sight of.
Much will be gained by making
the country homestead look well. II
will give the young people stronger
attachment to it; and this is indeed q
most important consideration. In these
latter days, when SO many farmer boys
are leaving their country homes to en-.
gage in business in cities, to the injury
of both themselves and the farming
interest, anything that will have q
tendency to lessen the evil should be
encouraged. The beautifying of coun-
try homes will certainly have good
effect in this He5ticular. Many good
boys ale disguised with the slovenly
manner in which the old homestead /
conducted, and without considering
how te effect reform, they resolve tc
go into some other business. A good
looking homestead will also greatly in
crease the value of the farm. Any ons

The Mountains and the Seaside.

/ have lived by the-seashore and by
the mountains. No, Pm not going to
say which is the best. The one where
your place is is the best for you. But
this difference there is, you can domes-
ndt,ra. You may have hut, or know
the owner of one, on the mountain side;
you may see light half way up its as
cent in the evening, and you know
there is home, and you might share
it. You have noted certain trees, per-
haps; you know the particular zone
where the hemlocks look SO black in
October, where the naples and beeches
have faded. All its reliefs and entag-
lios have electrOtyped themselves in
the medallions that hung around the
walls of your chamber. The sea re-
members nothing; it is feline. 1t licks
your feet, its huge flanks purr very
pleasantly for you; but it will crack
your bones and eat you, for all that, and
wipe the crimson from the jaws as if
nothing had happened. The noun
tains give to their lost children berries
and water; the sea mocks their thirst
and lets them die. The mountains have
"a grand, stupid, loveable tranquility;
the sea has a fascinating, treacherous
intelligence. The mountains lie about
like high ru;ninants, their broad backs
awful to Iook upon, but safe to handle;
/ the sea smooths its silver scales until
you cannot see their joints, but the
shining is that of a snakes belly, after
Iall. In deeper suggestiveness find as
great a difference. The mountains
dwarf mankind and foreshorten the
procession Of its long generations. The
sea browns out humanity and time. II
has no sympathy with either, for it be-
long to eternity; and of that it sings its
monotonous song forever and ever, Yet
should love to have little box by the
seashore. / should love to gaze out on
the wild, feline element from front
window of my avn, just as I should
love to look on Gagged panther and see
| it stretch its shining length, and then
curl over and lap its smooth sides, and
by and by to begin to lash itself into 9
rage, and show its white teeth, ano
spring at its bars, and howl the cry o.
Its mad, but to me harmless fury. And
then to look at it with the inward eye
who does not love to shuttle off time
and its concerns at intervals; to forget
who is President and who is Governor,
what race he belongs to, what language
he speaks, which golden-headed nail o
the ornament his particular planetary
system is hung upon, and listen to ths
great liquid metronome as it beats sol
emn measure steadily swinging wher
the solo or duet of human life began
and to swing just as steadily after the

HORSE.
The Canada Disease Becoming
Epidemic.

The Canada Disease Becoming
Epidemic.
Some days ago the telegraph made
reference TO the general prevalence Of
the horse disease in Toronto, the matter
becoming so serious as to impede travel
and transportation, and involve con-
loss. Itappears that the same
epidemic prevails in Montreal and its
and is rapidly on the increase.
A Toronto paper gives some of the
symptoms Of the disease, and the pro-
per mode of treatment, which in view
ofits possible spread, may useful:
"These disease appears to be a cat
arrhal fever, of an epizootic nature, the
result of some atmospheric influence,
as is show by its sudden appearance
over large extent of country, attack
ing all kinds of horses, old and young,
in good condition or poor. The pre-
monitory symptoms are dullness, q
staring coet, watery discharged from
the nose, speedily followed by a severe
hacking cough: the pulse is quickened,
and the mouth hot, the nasal memb-
ranes are injected, and the ears and legs
are unnaturally cold, the discharge from
the nose increases and becomes of a
greenish-yellow color, and the breath
ing is increased, and in some cases la
bored and severe. Although this dis
ease must necessarily prove great loss
and annoyance to the community
generally, we do not think it is likely
to be of q fatal character where ordi-
nary care and rational treatment are
adopted. In several instances the at
tack has been severe, but generally in
caeased by overwork, or some other
debiIitating influence. AS the disease
will run certain course, affected ami
mails should be carefully used, and al
lowed plenty of pure air, with liberal
diet of nourishing and easily digested
food. The stable should be well aired
daily and thoroughly ventilated; and il
is also advisable to use disinfectants, az
chloride oflime or carbolic acid. When
the throat is sore, causing difficulty in
swallowing, mild embrocation should
be applied, and the fever allayed By
mild febrifuge medicine.

The London Field, one of the highest
authorities, says of sawdust: "I litter
the horses on it TO the depth of nine
inches, raking Of the damp and soiled
surface every morning, and spreading
evenly a little fresh, removing the
whole four or Ave times a year. Its
advantages appear to be many, OF
which will state few which give IL,
in my estimation, its greatest superiori-
ty over stra ". 1t Is much cleaner anG
more easily arranged; and, of course.
much cheaper at first cost, making in
the end excellent manure. 1t is pecu-
liarIy beneficial to the feet, affording
mem cool, porous stufiing, substi-
tule ior the soil of earth we always find
~ the hoofs of q horse at grass, and
presents the nearest resemblance to
the hUrses' natural f00ting-the earth.
We never had diseased foot since the
introduction of sawdrst in the stable,
now some years since. Horses bedded
on sawdust are also freer from dust and
stains than when an ordinary litter
simply because sawdust is better alb
sorbent, perhaps, and testify their ap
proyai OF it by frequently lying dowr
for hours in the day. 1t has also the
recommendation of being uneatible-
an advantage which all in charge o
horses with the habit Of eating thei
litter will admit"

Hogs Small isrec ds.

LLOkS-SllAlA EEct
A stock raiser of much experience, in
an article upon over-grown and medi-
um-sized animals, thus speaks of hogs,
indicating his preference for the small
breeds.
"Thtre is not one single advantage to
be claimed in favor of large hogs.
There never was a monster hog which
did not make the man who raised him
pay for every pound he weighed. They
do not furnish an ounce of meat gratis,
but charge full price for every atom of
their carcass. When slaughtered, it
takes long time to get one cool to the
marrow of the bone, and when the
hams are put in salt, it is troublesome
to finish them to the center. Four
hundred pounds, live weight, is as
large as hogs should be, in order to
make good bacon. Beyond this size,
there is loss somewhere. Either the
feeder, butcher or consumer is beat;
and, as a general thing, every one who
has anything to do with the big hog
will find, il he observes closely, that
they are not SO profitable as the smooth
nice hog Of only three hundred and
fifty pounds weight. Small head, with
little, upright ears, and legs and fee
delicate to perfection, are marks which
indicate the greatest amount of flesh fol
any given amount of food consumed
and will more readily draw the atten
| ton of the butcheru -

To Clean q Rusty Plow.

Take quart of water and pourslow-
~ into half a pint of sulphuric acid.
(The mixture will become quite warm
from chemical action, and this is the
reason why the acid should be poured
slowly into the water ralher than the
water into the acid. Wash the mould
board (or any other iron that is rusty)
with this weak acid, and let it remain
on the iron till it evaporates. Then
wash it again. The object is to give
the acid time to dissolve the rust. Then
wash with water and you will see
where the worst spots are. Apply
some more acid and rub those spots
with brick. The acid and the scour-
ing will remove most of the rust. Then
wash the mould-board thoroughly with
water tosremove all the acid, and rub it
dry. Brush it over with petroleum or
other oil and let it betill spring. When
you go to plowing, take a bottle of the
acid water to the field with you and ap-
ply it to any rust that may
remain. The acid and the securing OF
the earth will soon make it perfectly
bright and smooth. If all iron work
be washed over with petroleum as soon
as we put our tools, implements and
machines aside for the winter, it win
keep them from rusting, and save a
great deal of trouble and annoyance, to
say nothing of depreciation and loss.

CORN HUsKER.-According to the
Ohio Farmer, as well as the private
words of some of our friends, who
claim TO know, there was corn husk-
er shown at the Northern Ohio Fair, by
one 'Hoag" of Springfield, Ohio, which
has claims worthy the notice of all
growers oflarge areas of corn. We eknow
nothing Of its price, or its labor OF work
ing, but look to its manufacturer to tell
our readers the whereof, etc.-but its
general character was, as we gave it a
passing glance, one of favor, toward all
who raise corn by the forty to one hum
dred acres. TOthe grower ofhalfa dozen
ofacres no such machine is wanted, if he
can get men or good Bohemian women
to husk his corn in the old way.

Is HE HoNEsT?-It is rather inter-
esting to see how even with some very
benevolent people moral taint is bar
to charity. Is he honest? they ask
first. If that question is answered sat
isfactorily, their generosity knows no
bounds. But if the poor fellow has
the double misfortune of light purse
and slim conscience,-then he must
move on. If he is sick in body. they
help him, o how tenderly! II he is
sick in soul they cast him off without
compunctions. Ifa pile of bricks falls
and breaks his leg, how quickly they
run for bandages; but if sadder acci-
dent overwhelms him in moral misery,
they think they do well to abandon
him to his fate. They appear never to
consider how brittle the legs of their
own virtue; how fortunate for them
selves that their ways lay not alongside
of tottering moral brick-piies.-lThe

WINTER BEDDING FOR Stock. We
are not disposed to assume knowledge,
but in our line of giving farm and
garden hints we just now feel like re-
minding our farmer friends of the fact,
that during the coming winter large
amount of coarse refuse bedding will be
needed for the stock, and that ever half
ton of waste, weedy, rough grass, po-
tato tops, etc., hauled under dry COW
cred shed and during the winter placed
as bedding for the animals is sure to
return to them by absorption of urine
and ammoniacal gases, more than
double its cost when applied to the
land in the spring as manure. Later
in the season the gathering of leaves
from the woods come in, and of it we
shall hereafter write.

by the Dutch from the Indians in 1926
for the trifiing sum of SIS. The assess
ed value of wealth on the island is 1872
is about $500, ,000, 900, the real value is
not less than q, 600, ,000, 900 and may be
even double this. Ofcourse twill be
said that the Dutch made good invest
ment of their $25, and no doubt they
did. Bat if that $25 had been put out
on an interest at ten per cent. on the
first of October, 1926, ,s.and the interest
itself annually invested at ten per cent.
also, the product on the first Of October,
1872, would have been $26, $50, 1877 ,962-
