WHISTLE AND HOE.

Who is whistling all through the liv,

And his work is not mere pretence.
For you see the weeds he has cut away

Sing as you 60,
Shorten the row,

Not word of bemoaning his task hear
He has scarcely time for growl,

For his whistle sounds so merry and clear,
He must find some pleasure in every row.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you 60,
Shorten the row

But then while you whistle, be sure that
you hoe,
For If you are idle the briars will spread
And whistling alone to the end of the row,
May do for the weeds, but is bad for

A TALK ON "WOOL" BY GEORGE
WILLIAM BOND.

The third of the series of practical
talks, at the hall of the Young Mems
Christian Union. was given on Saturday
evening by George William Bond, a
well-known wool merchant of Boston.
The earliest writers, he said, spoke of
wool, and spinning and weaving dated
back further than We knew. The COW
erlng of sheep was two-fold-an outer
covering of hair and an inner covering
of wool or down. The hair served like
thatch to protect from the weather.
while the wool or down kept the animal
warm. In cold climates goats dogs
and cattle (such as the yak in Thibet.)
lad this down. In hot climates the
lambs were born with it, but in time
lose it and depend for protection upon
the hair. There were, he said, LOG
different varieties of sheep in the world.
over forty of which were the result of
difference of climate and soil. The
length of the fibre of wool varied. Mr.
Bond stating that in his valuable cabin
ct of woods destroyed in the fire of Nov
y. 1872, he had one fibre fifty inches
IN length, and he exhibited specimen
from western sheep that was thirty
four inches long. On the common sheen
IL was estimated there were 5000 fbres
to square inch, while on the Merino
there was from 10000 to 100000 The
fleece of common unwashed sheen
yielded from rs to 95 per cent, of wool,
the rest Is grease and dirt A Vermont
sheep washed, yields about so per cent.
wool. This waste was very valuable
as fertilizer, though at one time It was
dlthcult to give it away, but after dem
onstrating Its value on field of pota.
toes the farmers began to appreciate it,
and it now sells for about $40 a cord
The amount of wool raised in the world
was estimated at about 1,78O,OOO. 600
per annum, divided as follows: Asia,
29O'o0OOOO pounds; Persia, $4,000.
600; Great Britain, 100000; An.

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.

Many times women call upon theil
FAMILY physicians, one with dyspepsia,
another with palpitation, another with
trouble of the breast, another with pain

present alike to themselves and their ca.

and distinct diseases, for which he nre
scrlbes his pills and potions, assuming
them to be such, when, in reality, thew
are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder and while they are thus only
able perhaps to palliate for a time thew
are ignorant of the cause. and encourage
their practice until large bills are made
when the suffering patients are no bet

the delay, treatment, and other compli-

THRIFT.-ln passing through the
country why is it that we see only a
few farms that seem to be well fenced,
and on which the dwellings and other
farm buildings are in good repair.
These few farms are always free from
weeds, and invariably yield good crops
of all kinds. The owners of these prem
ises attend to their business. They
make a business Of farming. They get
their crops in at the proper season, and
harvest them when they are properly
matured. Their cash account is always
in their favor, the balance being on the
right side. They have no time to waste
at the taverns or groceries. If they
have spare time, ii, is devoted to self
culture. They always subscribe and
pay for their local paper first, and
others are not discarded. They and
their families are well informed upon
the current topics of the day. Their
children are educated, we'll clad and
well bred. These men are the substan-
tial and influential men of the town.
They keep it respectable. They sup
port the schools and the churches.
These are the men to whom the country
ever looks in time of need. They always
have opinions upon subjects and their
views are never in market. Ever open
to conviction, never to corruption, thew
may sometimes be little exclusive. but
they are ever ready to assist their less
favored neighbors to rise to the same
plane upon which they stand. They
are reserved but true, cautious but sure.
and they constitute the hope and safety

semble a sieve. Place this upon the
seed and fill it with enough fine mould
to form sufficient covering for the seed,
which should generally be four or five
times the diameter of the seed for the
depth. Keep the soil sufficiently moist
and in warm place. The sieve can be
lifted easily and the seeds examined
without disturbing them. In this way
corn, wheat, clover seed, turnip seed
and many other kinds can be easily
tested, which may be of considerable
Importance where the age or freshness of
the seed is not certainly known.
