II have heard of IN old farmer
giving his testimony in case of cattle
having trespassed on meadow in the
fall and consumed its rowen, that be
would sooner have his medow pastured
in the Spring. Perhaps he got into the
extreme, but the more person thinks on
the matter the nearer he will come
to agreeing with the old farmer.
Judicious treatment of per-
manent meadows On most lands calls for
manure on the weak places, until they
have been raised to the level of the av-
erage, and then no hoofs allowed on
the land except those necessary to har-
vest hay crop that will come but once
in Il year.-Er.
"A mans character is stamped up
on his face by the time that he is thirty.
We had rather put our trust in any
human beings countenance than in his
words. The lips may lie. the face can
not. To-be-sure, !" a man may smile and
smile and be villain" but what
a smile it is-a false widening of
the mouth and creasing Of the cheeks
an unpleasant grimace that makes the
observer shudder. Rascal" is legibly
written all over It.
The lesson for every young man is
this: AS long as you have the health,
and have power to do, go ahead if you
fail at one thing, try another, and a
third-a dozen even. Look at the spi.
der. Nineteen times it tried to throw
out its web to its place Of attachment
and on the twentieth succeeded. The
young man who, has the gift of continu.
ance is the one whose foot will be able
to breast the angry waters of human
encouragement.
