BE THOROUGH.

There can be nothing of more i'm
portance than thoroughness. Every
live, progressive farmer must of neces-
sity be thorough if he expects to make
his occupation success. He must not
try to do too much by cultivating too
many acres with too little help and
machinery, nor should he keep more
stock than can be kept in good, thriv-
ing condition. He should aim to keep
ahead of his work, which has been
previously planned, and work out his
plans to the very letter Whatever is
worth doing should be done well
Thoroughness in farming pays. When
plowing, plow with as much care as if
you were competing for premium.
Let no cut and covering be done, but
set your plow so that it will be square
and true, and not so that it will run
sideways, like hog to war, When
narrowing make no balks, but usually
lap the harrow half, and get the seed
bed in good order. See that the soil
is pulverized finely, so that the plant
food will be available. In seeding get
the best seed, fan it thoroughly, and
arrange your selves so that all the small
and imperfect grains will be separated
from the large and perfect ones.
To be thorough we must be saving.
Too much grain is wasted in nearly
every harvest field 1t pays to take
the time to cradle a swarth around the
field, so that the reaper can run the
first round without driving over the
standing grain. A little more thorough
ness in the matter of saving grain
when harvesting and threshing would
amount in the aggregate to sum that
would astonish many farmer who
has never seriously considered the
matter.-Americdn Stock Journal

ORIGIN OF CYCLONES.

In the Naturalist in Nicarauga,
Mr.. Belt has the following on the origin
of whirlwinds and cyclones; II am con-
fident that a study of the smaller ed
dies of air is the proper way to ap-
proach the difficult question Of the Or
igin of cyclones" The movements Of
these small whirling masses may be
observed from the outside, and their
progress traced from the incipient stage
TO that of dissolution. In the begin.
ming of whirlwind there is move
ment near the surface of the ground of
light particles of dust toward centre,
attended or occasioned by rotary
motion of the air This quickly rises
into whirling column from fifty to a
hundred feet or more in height. On
the dry hot plains of Central and South
America, and of Australia, this phe-
nomenonis Of frequent occurrence, and
is not unusual in our temperate lati-
tudes in summer. The whirling col
umns, according to Mr.. Belt, differ in
diameter from few feet TO many miles,
and his opinion is that "there is CON-
plete gradation from the little dust
eddies, through larger whirlwinds and
tornadoes, to the awful typhoons and
cyclones of China and the West Indies" ="
In the small whirlwinds which oc-
cur over the land, there is no evidence
Of the condensation of vapor occurring
in dry air. But where the atmosphere
is charged with humidity, as over trop-
teal seas, the condensation is great
The notion, therefore, that whirlwinds
and tornadoes originate in sudden con-
densation, Mr.. Belt thinks not well
founded, the phenomenon being an
incident rather than cause of the
movement. Nor is the the theory o
satisfactory one, that the meeting of
conflicting currents Of air and conse-
quent condensation give rise to the
phenomenon. Attention is directed to
the fact that many terrible whirlwinds
are dry, and run their course without
producing rain or cloud. They origi-
nate at or very near the surface Of the
ground, where the air becomes intense
ly heated. "rhe quivering Of the air
over the hot ground foreshadows the
whirlwind as mirage does the simeon,
and sultry heat and oppressive calm
do the hurricane" In the stratum Of
heated air next the ground resides the
energy which produces the whirlwind.
That this, in many instances, Is pre-
vented from rising, has been proved
by numerous observations. At last
the upward tendency becomes so strong
that il breaks through the everything
heavier air, and there occurs an up
ward discharge, followed by all the
phenomena of whirlwinds.

TOO OFTEN TRUE.

Some men take too much money
out of their business to expend in
household expenses and lavish display
and speedily bring themselves to the
verge of bankruptcy. One old gentle
man, who had commenced life as a
poor boy, had, by mastering the diff
cult steps to final success, gained con
siderable wealth as merchant,
When he arrived at old age he retired
to private life to live in ease and com
fort on his income, leaving a prosper
ous business in the hands of his son.
In three years the young man was
bankrupt. He had failed in business,
and was compelled to take q position
as clerk in a strangers store.
His father was asked why il was
that, in business in which he had
succeeded so well, his son had failed.

showed that II was intended TO do the
work well and meant business Il only
remained for the producers of souare
timber on the Susauehanna river to
make il effectual by signing the agree
ment and standing square up TO the
work, honestly and faithfully. He did
not think there was man engaged In
the production, but could reduce large
ly from the quantity he made last year,
II he made up his mind to do So
So far as payments on lands were con-
cerned, the parties to whom payments
were to be made, he had no doubt,
would extend them, if they did not cut
off the timber, and his advice TO all who
had sold land on which payments are
still to be made, was TO make extension
at least of part, for the reason that a
serious decline in the value of timber
the coming season will result in many
years of such depression in the trade
that buyers of land will not be able to
pay at all.
He knew a great many men who
put in timber to make money out of it,
who were not in debt, and as soon as
their timber was converted into money
il was loaned out for the interest. All
such should Join this movement and
agree not to cut a stick Of timber.
Their timber was growing in value on
the stump more rapidly than their
money at interest, and as secure in
vestment, timber lands were much
safer than lending money. Bad loans
were frequently made. For his part,
he thought the people of the numbering
region were possessed of sufficient dis
erection to look the matter fairly in the
face, and had nerve and pluck enough
to take hold of the matter with de-
termination and that they would not
be satisfied with any halfway meas
urcs. He was satisfied il would be
better for the whole trade to lose the
years business than suffer the over
stock on the market TO continue, The
tone of our people and the full express
sion of this meeting indicated that they
were in earnest, and it was the duty of

THE LEISURE TINE OF BOYS

We would suggest to the many par
ents who are perplexed with the diff
Guilty of finding the wherewithal to
amuse and interest their boys, to give
their lads every possible opportunity
of acquiring mechanical trade. The
industry and ingenuity of boy Of
average ability may easily be made TO
furnish him with never-failng source
of amusement of the best order. The
boy who can produce or make some
thing already begins to feel that he is
somebody in the world, that achieve
ment of result is not reward reserv-
ed for grown people only. And the
education ofmind, eye and hand, which
the use of tools and mechanical appli-
ances furnishes, is of great and real
value, beyond the good resulting from
the occupation Of leisure time. Having
nothing to do is as great snare to the
young as ii is to the full grown and
no greater benefits can be conferred on
youths than to teach them TO convert
time now wasted, and often worse than
wasted, into pleasant means of recrea-
ton and mental improvement. The
boy whose time and mind are now
occupied with marbles and kites may
be a Watt, a Morse, or Bessemer in
embryo and il is certainly an easy
matter to turn his thoughts and mus
ings into channel which shall give
full scope to his faculties. And to
most boys the use of mechanical tools
is the most fascinating of all occupa-
tions. As logic and mathematics have
a value beyond accuracy in argument
and the correct solution of problems,
in that they teach men the habit OF
using their rejecting powers system
atically, so carpentry, turning and
other arts are of high importance.
These occupations teach boys to think,
to proceed from initial causes TO results,
and not only to understand the nature
and duty Of the mechanical powers,
but to observe the effects, and to ac-
quire knowledge by actual expert
ence, which is the best way Of learning
anything. All the theories cullcd out
Of books leave an impress on the mind
and memory which Is slight compared
to that Of the practical experience of
the true mechanic. Our advice is, to
all who have the great responsibility
of the charge Of boys Give them a
lathe, or set Of carpenters or even
