WORK-SONG.
nY GEORGE rRANc1s ARMsrnoNe.

BY GEORGE FRANCIS ARMSTRONG.
Who murmurs that his heart is sick
With toll from day to day;
That brows are wrnkled ere their time,
And locks of youth are gray?
Twas not in such a craven mood
Our fathers won the lands, stN
But by might of toiling brains,
The stroke of resolute hands:
For hard work is strength, boy;
And whether in house or felo,
Hoi for the men that mind and arm
In righteous labor WELD!
If trouble clings about thy path,
Ere yet thy days old;
II dear friends sink in death, and leave
Thy world all void and cold
Wilt thou lie down in aiInless woe
And waste thy life away?
Nay, grieving's but sluggish game
That coward spirits play;
But hard work is strength, boy;
And, when the stout heart bleeds,
There's neer balm that heals it
Like the doing of great deeds.
Ahi-lovest thou a bonnie lass?
Then, scorn to dream and sigh,
For true loves fruits are noble acts,
And fruitless love must de-
And if thy fervency be spurned,
Go, SET to work again
Twill help to quench the burning VICE.
To ease the bitter pain;
For hard work is strength, boy,
Whatever the fend may say,
And after storm and cloud and rain
Comes up the cheerier day.
And is a true, true wife thine own
Let never murmur rise ~ zN -
To draw one doubt across her brow,
Or a tear into her eyes;
And if thy children round her knees
Look up and cry for bread,
o kiss their fears away, and turn
And work with heart and head;
For hard work IS strength, boy,
And with setting sun,
Come dearer peace and sweeter rest
The more of it that's done.
And if thou have not child, nor wife,
Nor bosom friend, what then 7?
Toll Oh with might through day, through night
To help thy fellow-men
And though thou earn but little thanks,
Forbear tofret and pine
There's One that drank of deadlier woes,
And holds thee dear for thine;
And hard work is strength boy,
And love is the end of life,
Music that fires the blood of the brave
In the midst of battle and STRIFE
And when thy power is ebbed and gone,
Lay down thy head to rest,
And the great God will stretch his hands
And draw thee to His breast
Nay, talk no more of sickening heart,
Gray hairs or wrinkled brow
Up, up. and grid thy lions for toll
There's good to do enow;
And hard work is strength, boy,
And life's a rapture still,
That loses whit of its joyness
To the men of unwavering will.

Is THERE MONEY IN BUTTER MAKING.

Is THERE MONEY IN BUTTER MAKING.
Mr. Buffun of New Hampshire said
in speech recently before the N. H.
Board of Agriculture, "Young men leave
the farm because they don't see how to
make it pay. We farmers are in fault.
We do not adopt system to show our
loss and gain. We can not tell the cost
of producing crop, and therefore don't
know what pays and what don't. We
must determine this matter, and practice
that which will return profit
The speaker then took up the single
question of keeping COWS for milk. He
said an ordinary COW would yield about
1900 quarts of milk per year, which
made into butter and cheese would not
average more than two cents quart in
come. This won't pay. Now increase
the quantity to 1000 quarts or $500 and
you see profit add little more and
the result will be, instead of receipt
of $50, we get $50. 1t is the same in
other departments. An average price of
butter with us is but twenty-five and
twenty five cents per pound, and this
don't pay. Make an improvement so
that it will average forty and fifty and
you see profit. The average price for
butter in towns in certain sections of
Massachusetts is sixty-seven cents,-a
price that pays. All butter makers can
do the same or nearly as we'll. We can't
often buy good cows-breeders won't
sell at prices we are willing to pay. We
must raise them; and in so doing we
must select those breeds and those FAM
lilies that are adapted to our immediate
purpose.

ERADICATING SORREL.


There is no better agent for eradicat-
ing sorrel from lands than lime. Where
the soil has become sour, this pest soon
appears and it is like fighting against
hope to attempt to kill it by turning un-
der. Lime, applied to the surface, will
not only destroy it, but permanently
change the character of the soil, so that
the sweetest and richest heritage will
grow in its place. 1t is one of the best
fertilizers we have, and useful for all
crops In series of experiments tried
with it in Maryland few years since.
the increase on wheat was 100 per cent,
corn 100 per cent, oats II per cent. po-
tatoes eleven fold and hay four fold In
this country, of limestone rocks like
ours. where every neighborhood, almost,
can have its own lime kiln, the matter
might be put to thorough and practi-
cal test. Like cooking feed for stock,
it is some trouble. "but then it pays. :"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1873-04-21

TREATMENT OF ANIMALs.-Necd we
say that all animals should be treated
kindly, and will do very much better if
so treated. Some COWS will not give
down half their milk when abused
Horses will not do half as we'll when
abused as when treated with kindness.
What is true of the human family seems
to be equally true with the lower animals.
Kind treatment and coaxing will often
produce astonishing results. The tanners
of wild and vicious horses understand
this and make use of it in subduing
even the worst animals that come under
their care.
HENs.-Look we'll to the hens at this
season of the year Keep them well
supplied with food, ana let them have,
if possible, access to the ground. If too
many are allowed to huddle in together,
the weakest may be killed Take meas
ures. to destroy the lice that will be
likely to trouble the fowls. Broken oys-
ter shells, fine gravel, and lime, should
be within their reach. Feed cabbage
and other vegetables to them every few
days. They should always be kept in a
warm place to have them do we'll.
A HINT ABOUT BEEs.-Bees consume
large quantities of water when building
comb and raising brood, Want of water
is one of the causes of dysentery among
them. A bucket or trough filed with
water, with few pieces of old comb or
stick for the bees to alight upon and
drink in safety, should be kept near the
hives.

ORCHARD OF RUSSIAN APPLE TREI
warranted until they bear fruit of good size and I'd
quality.

uIeh eHey Dear tFult OF good size and %
quality.
Don't always be having the blues and talking of h
times and signing
But buy you Taylor and Farley Organ that eve
body is buying;
And buy Domestic Machine for your wife she wa
one, you know, if you've tried her;
And buy you an orchard of the New Russian trees
raise your own apples and cider
You don't want to go without music or fruit in n
plentiful land,
And you don't want your wife and your daughters
do all their sewing by hand;
And the youths who paternity claim and are sod
times inclining to roam,
VIII often contented remain when thew see the Att
tons of home.
And when you return from your labor, and the day
been weary and long.
Your evening repose will be sweeter if greeted WI
music and song
Then hurrah for the Taylor Farleyl with their mu
that swells on the breeze;
And hurrah for the Hardwick Nursery with big ann
on three years old trees
Hurrah for Mack the inventor of the Light Runnj
New Style Domestic,
So practical faithful and true; so powerful grand a
majestie
And hurrah for the patent Green Mountain that
running both forward and back
Takes the Rubber Ball thunder right on of the Vile
and runs them all off from the track.
And may heaven forbid from this hour that the
fashioned single-thread trash
shall be retailed at fifty-iVe dollars to gobble p
woman's cash.

In purchasing a horse or any other
animal, rely upon your own judgment,
and when you trade, do not ask your
neighbor. as every man ought to know
his own business. If there is much
talking to be done, let the other do it.
What you say, let it be to the point, and
stand to it.

cnmpulaory Education.

The other day they had up, in the
House, at Springfield, the compulsory ed
ucation bill, when Mr.. Streeter, the Demo
cratic member from Mercer, moved to
amend so that the compulsory education
law should apply to no child which had not
certificate that it had been employed at
manual labor for three months in each
school year He said the object of educa-
tion was to enable the children to fight
better the great battle of life. To do this
it is necessary that the children should be
learned to walk The present school sys-
TEN turned out every year a host of young
men and women who were totally untitled
for work, and they went up and down the
State asking for a situation. Some Of
them tried to sell patent rights others
were book agents, but the bulk grayitated
toward the school house, and taught an
other batch of children to be as lazy and
worthless as themselves. He said he was
member of the committee on education
and sub committee was appointed to con
suit with Newton Bateman, and it was
from him that this proposition for compul
sorry education came The egg was laid il
the Office of the great patron saint Of coun
ty superintendent Mr.. Bateman admit
that there are great evils in the presen
school system, and the only remedy h,
proposed therefor is that the teacher AM
pupils shall take course of natural sci
ences
Mr.. Quinn opposed the law, and sal
the people of the State could take care c
their children without any aid from an
officers Of the State. He insisted that tn
bill was unconstitutional, and would be S
declared if it passed and ever came int
the Supreme Court. The law was furthe
debated, and was then made the speci;
order for Friday.
