1t Pays to Raise Good Stock.

1T pays to raise good stock that ;
what Mr.. Samuel Look OF North Jay says,
and backs the assertion by the following
items: Said he, within the last six years
| have sold four pairs of steer calves for
$3.50; none Of them being six months old
and some of them considerably less than
that. The highest price received for
a pair was S130, the lowest SO. The
calves We're all OF Durham blood and of
course well matched in every particular
AS have seen considerable in the papers
from time to time about big hogs, large
hens eggs and profitable sheep, thought
| would like to say to Maine farmers and
stock-raisers, if there is any one that can
furnish the Journal with an item that can
slrpass or even match this on steer calves,
please to let US heal from him. 1t will
be remembered by some of our readers
that Mr.. Look took several premiums on
stock, at the last show of the Franklin
County Agricultural Society, one for best
matched oxen and another for best trained
steers, these latter being one pair of the
calves sold, spoken Of above, and we
should guess they We're the ones for which
he received the highest price given above.
For the matched oxen at the show Mr.
Look was frequently asked to name q
price, but declined, subsequently, how
ever, we heard they were sold to a gentle
man in Livermore for very high price
We agree with Mr.. Look that it pays to
raise good stock. Pity It's that more farm
ers won't verify the truth of the remark

KEEPING POULTRY TO ENRICH LAND.
Colonel Waring, in his elements of
Agriculture, says: Poultry dung is near
ly equal in value to Peruvian guano Tex
cept that it contains more watcr). If
granted that hen will consume, of the
different kinds Of grains, meat, and vege-
tables, during the year, the equivalent of
two bushels of corn, which weigh 12O
pounds, then it is certainly low enough to
place the excrement-the result of the
digestion of these two bushels-as equiva-
lent to fifteen pounds of guano. As the
manure from 100 fowls, during year,
would amount to l 800 pounds of guano,
taking the above suppostion as at least
safe and as 300 pounds is ordinarily suf-
licient for an acre of corn, it will be seen
that the manure from 100 fowls will make
compost enough for five acres. The ex-
pertinent has been tried by the writer, of
applying, to one acre of corn in the hill,
the manure of twenty hens one year. mix
ed with swamp muck, in the proportion
of one part hen manure and three parts
muck, and the result was a better crop
than upon an adjoining acre enriched, for
sake of experiment, with good fair ord-
nary dressing of stable manure.

undor the Snow.

1t is pleasant to think. just under the snow
That stretches so bleak. and blank and cold,
Are beauty and warmth that we cannot know,
Green fields, and leaves and blossoms Of gold.
They are hidden how: not glimmer breaks
Through the hard blue lee and the sparkling
drift;
The world shrinks back from the downy flakes
Which out Of the folds of the night-cloud aft.
Full often now when the skies are wild.
And hoarse and sullen the night-winds blow.
And the lanes and hollows with drifts are piled.
| think of the yiolets under the snow.
| look in the wind flowers tremulous eye,
l hear the chip of the ground-bird brown,
A breath from the budding grove steals by,
And swallows are dipping above the town.
The lily shines on its bending stem,
The crocus opens its April gold,
And the rose uptosSes its diadem
Against the floor of the winters cold
And that other world to my soul, say,
That veled the mystic world Of the dead,
II no further away on any day,
Than the lilies Just under the snow we tread.

Books and Papers OH the Farm.

Book farming has often been held up to
lilicule. While it is true that farming
from knowledge gained from books
Without practical experience, has general
ly failed OF success, it is also true that the
best success in farming is never attained
without the knowledge which may be
gained from books and papers. Practical
experience accurate observation and close
reasoning must 90 with such knowledge
and the two must 90 together in order to
make the best success, The manufacturer,
the merchant, in short the successful man
in any business is he who with good .iudg-
ment gains knowledge Of the operations
same or similar lines of business, and pro-
and most readily gained from books and
papers
The successful farmer is the reading
one. 1t is only by reading that he can
keep sufficiently posted up with the times,
and be prepared TO cope with the spirit of
the age in which he lives 1t has been
aid that IAN agricultural community
without papers and books adapted to its
varied interests is like Il ship at sea with
out compass OF rudder.' Every man who
has an opportunity to observe various por-
tons OF our country must surely have
noticed the wide contrast often seen in the
condition of communities not very widely
separated from each other, and also that
the greatest degree OF prosperity is always
found accompanying the greatest degree
OF intelligence. In the reading commun-
ity will always be found more money. bet
ter houses, richer lands, better titled
farms worth more per acre, and III every
respect a better social condition than will
be found in the community where books
and papers are not generally and freely
read.
An enteIprising, intelligent, reading
farmer who settles in a backward, non
reading community soon raises the value
of his neighbor's land. He attracts the
attention of other enterprising farmers to
the neighborhood A farmer cannot afford
70 do without books and papers adapted to
hlsFared interests, and more than that, he
cannot afford to allow his neighbors to do
without them, but should use his influence
IN ail suitable ways for their improvement
IN thls respect, inasmuch as the advance
ment OF the mass is the advancement Of
the individual

A benevolent Old gentleman on Christ
mas day presented seventy-eight news
boys with seventy-eight savings bank pass
books, each representing small account
opened at the bank for the boy by the
generous gentleman. BY this plan the
good old citizen sought to impress on the
minds Of the newsboys the Importance Of
economy and thrift. 1t was beautiful
thought and would be worthy Of imitation
had it not happened that on the day after
Christmas those seventy-eight accounts
were drawn, these seventy-eight pass
books sold for old paper, and seventy
eight newsboys might have been seen at
the theatre that evening, rapturously ap-
plauding the tragic star of the bloody

A New York farmer SAYS: Some one
asks why it is that potatoes so soon RIM
out There are two grand reasons. There
are but few potatoes in hill that are fit
for seed. Some are oyergrown, coarse,
rank, and will not transmit the original
quality. Others are undergrown, and not
full OF developed seed A potato of me-
dium size, perfect i'll all its parts, with
change Of ground, will produce ITS like,
ad iminitum. One other reason, cutting
potatoes between stem and seed end con-
tlnually, will demoralze the institution.
1t requires the stem and seed end to make
perfect seed. Ifcut, cut lengthwise. Single
eyes will run out any potatoe. There is
no other seed that will bear mutilation

It does not run out completely. [Prairie

Curious Anecdote of Gushing and

Old Squire Gerrish, of Newburyport
Mass, is a genial soul who has a host of le-

Of Webster Edward Everett and Rufus

Cushing. a time came when those two
Titans, Gushing and Choate, were on OPP
