committed to The work house:
lie was born in Ea.t Randolph, Yer.
mont. about lhiry-.ive yeMs ago. and
his name is Horace Barney. From Lia
childhood he WAS subject b fits. and lor
that reason unable to obtain steady EN-.
ployment. So he WIS sent 20 tie poor
larn. Apparently Tired ol him there, he
says, the town authorities took him TO u
sea port aud shipped him on - wbaier Tor
IA voyage TO The Pacific. Not long alter
the vessel sailed, his iniirmity was dis
covered, and tue captain cast about Tor
some way 10 get rid St him. The old
stock trick Of leaving him on an island
was bit upon. AZ The ship was cruising
around an island In the Pacific boat WAS
ordered ashore Tor water. and Barney
was detailed as one oil the crew. Ills
shipmates persuaded him to push on 10.
ward grove OF trees, and then Jumped
into the boat a. d'pushed of Tor the vessel
without MN. li Ntr rldlt hN o'A'ANA'i'
himself upon llc sand, and presently ie!!
into III.
The natives ol The island found him IN
this lit, and apparently were iayoraDiy
impressed by i situation; tJr they took
him 10 one OF lleiI villages, fed him and
made much account OF him. Iaey
seemed 10 regard bis It's as Ll- OF inspir-
aliun. and reyeIenced him Us great
medicine man lie was adopted into
he tribe, aud his body ta,tocd in the
latest and most approved fashion. (Ihe
lattooing il plainly visible on his body
now.) lie took one of the native women
to vile, and she had child by him. lie
lived with The sayagcs TWO years, and
got very sired OF his lite. longing 10 get
baclt bis native land. Ono day - vessel
hove in sight, and boat was sent ashore.
He seized the opportunity and escaped,
coming to New York. Since then hc has
made his living by making and pedd.ng
wicker baskets What fail, from Ihe
medicine man and prophet OF nation TO

oppressive, even under the most mod
crate labor. So it is with animals In
barns or stables, exposed to every storm
of wind and snow sitting through wide
cracks and ill-fitting doors.
Is it any wonder that animals are
found in the morning drawn up, SILVER
ing, the heat of their bodies blown away
faster than nature can supply 1t!
If the stable had been made impervi-
Gus to wind, and any stable. however
rude, can be made so very easily, fully
one -quarter of the food consumed might
be saved, and that now too often wasted
would have been accumulated as flesh
and fat. In the first place the stable,
unless underpinned with stone and well
pointed with mortar, should be banked
with earth above the sill, and the spaces
between the girths and posts ought to be
packed with chat, or some other mate
rial easily procured on the farm--un-
less, indeed, it has been provided that
these spaces may be bricked up or
clayed at the time of building, thus
making 1t cool in summer and warm in
winter.
Stables may be easily protected by
setting stakes short distance from the
weather boarding and attached at the
top to the building by braces or strips.
The space between the stakes and the
building may then be filled with the
coarse manure from the horse stable or
litter of any kind. AT the present high
prices of grain some protection of this
kind will be found to pay better inter
est than any simple arrangement that
can be devised.
1t is one of the most singular things in
farm economy that many farmers will
deny their animals, their horses especial
ly, the comfort of blankets. Wethave
found the blanketing Of work cattle and
steers intended for extra beef to be
profitable, and that blanket TO each
horse will pay its cost with interest each
season there is no doubt. The farmer
may buy rough blankets at a mere nomi-
nal cost.
In these days, when every family is or
ought to be provided with sewing ma
chimes, it will be but little work to stay
those portions which are to support the
cord or strap passing around the thighs
of the animals and the straps across the
chest, which may be fastened with a
large button or simple hook and loop that
may now be cheaply bought by the
dozen. These may be quickly lined with
some cheap, strong stuff, as burlaps or
other rough material, thus insuring
them from tearing and adding to the
durability of the fabric.
We advise every farmer who has never
tried this to lose no time in doing it. 1t
will add to the comfort and consequently
to the keeping of the horses. The
blankets will be found very good thing
to help keep out the cold from the farmer
on the way to market, and when the team
is standing about the streets of the vii
lage or market-town they will be sure to
appreciate the comfort of the covering
from the chilling winds that too often
lay the foundation of disease which Sosts
the worth of the horse to cure Western
Rural.

Pie is the bane of the American house
hold, the lurking devil of the cupboard.
/. beguiles childhood by seductive APP
pcals to the uneducated palate, and by
gradually vitiating the taste it becomes
a cherished weakness of the adult, in
the end. if adhered to, banIshing all the
peace and joy of the head, heart and
stomach. OF mince pie a close observer
has not inaptly said: "Moist and indi-
gestiblaat the bottom, tlaky and indi-
gestible on top, with untold horrors be-
tween" Other pie has the excruciating
characteristics of mince, with differ
ence in the degree of the horrors deity
hidden between the upper and neither
crusts And this concentrated dyspepsia
is carried everywhere. The poor child
is allowed by thoughtless parents to take
pie to school and MUNICH ii six times a
day, thus darkening its whole future.
Married couples become sour and morose,
and at last separate. They pronounce
the cause incompatihiiity OF temper.
They are wrong; it is pie. Promising
homes are broken up; the young man
goes out into the world in anger and the
old mans curse follows him. Pie again
on both sides What On absurdity for a
reformer who carries in his shrunken
face the distorting, tell-tale marks of
pie to rave about narcotics and stimu-
iants. Eradicate the imp of the larder
and there will be one less influence at
work to drive young men TO seek the imp
which lies in the bottle. Let us have a
genuine cookery reform.-N. y. EUensng

The Way to Make Enterprising
Farmers.

In the first place there must be sue
cessful farmers to teach beginners the
correct principles and the better and
most reliable practices of agriculture. A
farmer who dislikes his livelihood-who
don't care to be successful til1er of the
SOIL and would abandon farming wholly
if he could engage in any other pursuit.
is not the man to instruct beginners in
the great art of agriculture. Such men
always drive their sons and employees
from the farm. Farming is looked upon
By them as the most unsatisfactory and
improbable business that they can en-
gage in. Hence they are always morose
and crochety and forever grumbling
that farming don't pay, and they do not
want their sons to engage in such bust
ness The same is true with reference
to most Of our schools and colleges. The
practices and courses of instruction
adopted at agricultural institutions, thus
far, have been educating young men
away from the farm rather than toward
it. The agricultural colleges are as yet
an unfinished experiment. How much
aid the farmer can derive from the
schools remains to be seen. But there is
a work which can be done before the
young man is given into the hands OF
professional instructors. He can he in
terested in the farm or disguised with it
before he leaves the paternal roof.
In this early training lies the
secret of holding the young men. Let
there be intelligent and enterprising
farmers to instruct beginners in the
better practices of farming. Let the
farmer tighten the labor which he puts
upon his son by telling him all he knows
about the reasons for doing it. Explain
to him the processes of nature, so far as
they are known, and show him the things
which remain to be discovered. Show
him that agriculture is only just begi
ming to understand itself. Excite him to
think by mentioning the many things a
farmer does without knowing why he
does them Induce him to think OF these
things and he will perceive that every
thing which invites investigation is not
away from the farm. Show him that, by
pushing ahead and ayailing himself OF
new discoveries and ideas, he can make
better farmer than his father. This is
the way men in other occupations hold
their sons to carry on the enterprises
which they have labored to promote :;
and thus must the farmer gain early the
interest and sympathy of his boy II the
boy is to build onward and upward upon
foundations which his father has laid.
There is no class of citizens that have SO
much leisure and such easy times and
that can live SO luxuriously as farmers,
If they understand their business. True,
at certain periods of the year farmers
must labor unremittingly for a few
days, after which their duties are light
for days, weeks and months. Farmers
should exercise themselves to love their
employment. -New York Herald.
