Don't Do IL.

Don't linger where your love lies
dreaming Wake her up and tell her
to get breakfast.
Don't turn up your nose at light
things. Think of bread and taxation.
Doa't insult poor man. His mus
cles may be well developed.
Don't put on airs in your new clothes.
Remember that your tailor is suffer
ing.
Don't stand still and point the way
to Heaven. Spiritual guideboards
save but few sinners.
Don't ask your pastor TO preach with
out notes. How else can he pay his
provision bill?
Don't fret. The world will move
on as usual after you are gone.
Don't be too sentimental. A dead
heart properly cooked, will make a sa-
vory meal.
Don't write long obituaries. Save
some of your kind words for the liv-
ing.
Don't depend wholly on Spaulding' s
prepared glue. 1t will not mend i
broken promise.

OniOn-Rust.

IN a recent experiment, made for the
purpose of destroying fungus on the
onion, the following mode has proved
very successful: Some specimens were
obtained in the market covered with am
ber-colored fungus. | secured one of
them in an inverted glass receiver, which
L placed over beaker filled with nitrous
acid. The fumes arising from the acid,
without the application of heat, enveloped
the onion, and soon dissolved and de-
stroyed the fungus covering it's surface.
In order to ascertain whether the life of
the plant had been destroyed, / placed it
in a bulb-glass filled with water. 1t
sprouted in a few days, and is now in
healthy growth on my desk. 1t has nu-
merous leaves, which have attained a
length of six to twelve inches thus show
ing conclusively that, in some cases, fun
gold growths may be effectually destroyed
without injury to the plants on which
they grow.
This principle admits of many impor-
tant applications. In some diseases ofthe
potato the surface alone appears to be af-
fected, and the same is true in regard to
certain diseases affecting the tubers
roots, fruits and grains of various her to
plants, any of which may be readily ex-
posed in large quantities to the fumes OF
nitrous acid. As nitrous acid has the
power of depriving organic bodies OF
their oxygen, its destructive action on
fungus is probably due to this property

Corn Fodder East and West.

An Illinois correspondent of the Ger
mantown Telegraph sends that journal the
annexed interesting definition of what is
meant by corn fodder in the different
sections of the country:
We are reading many articles in nearly
every paper about corn fodder. The term
is not always used for the same kind OF
stock food. East it means sometimes
sowed or thickly-drilled corn cut and
cured as hay, or the corn cut up as cured
and corn taken off as soon as dry enough
to keep, and the whole put in the barn
for winter use. South it means the corn
leaves stripped from the stalks below the
ear, bound in bundles, and stacked in the
field around pole; also, the stalk above
the ear cut off and shocked around hill
of corn, both left in the field until wanted
for feed. West it means cutting the corn
at the ground, sixteen hills square, max
ing shocks that two will make a good
two-horse load. The object in Southern
Illinois is to prepare the land for wheat
and have the stalks out of the way The
fodder is fed out in winter when the
ground is dry or frozen, the corn being
first shocked out. In Middle and Northern
Illinois and all cattle-feeding Western
States it is fed, corn and all, to fat cattle
This mode Eastern farmers would call
wasteful, yet very little is lost Fat cattle
take the first, stock cattle next, and stock
hogs CLEAN.
Eastern farmers feed their stalks in the
barn, cattle eating nearly all the stalk
At the West, two feeds will leave the man
ger full of stalks as large as hoop-poles,
that make better stove-WoOd than cattle
feed.
l do not wish to be understood that
Western corn fodder is not an important
article of food, but it is not of so much
importance here as in the Eastern or Mid
die States If fed with the corn off, it is
twice as much work to shuck the corn as
it is to do the same standing. Then, too,
the standing stalks and straw stack are
usually enough to feed all the cattle and
horses on the farm in dry weather AS to
the benefit of cOrn-stalks as manure, we
are getting advantage of that in an easier
way than handling two or three times. 1t
is by the use of rolling stalk cutters, sew
ering the stalks nire inches to a foot in
length as fast as the team will walk, one
or two rows at time. This plowed in
keeps the land light during the season,
and the stalks are not in the way.
My object in this article is that Eastern
and Western men may understand what
corn fodder in each locality is, and not
debate the question in which both are
right and the object the same, to be of
benefit to farmers generally. But in many
cases Western farmers cannot follow the
advice of Eastern writers, and it is best
that those who have not seen things both
East and West should know which advice
tn follow ..

Flower Gardens for Children.

IT is desirable on many accounts that
children should cultivate flowers rather
than fruits or vegetables Most children
are fond of flowers, and all can be taught
to love them, and the harder and com
moner sorts at least do not tax the ener-
gies so heavily as other fruits or vegeta-
bles in cultivation. Besides, since flow
ers appeal solely to the moral sense, they
facilitate the inculcation of generous hab-
its. AS children acquire strength and
skill, they may gradually be inuusted
with the care of vegetables and fruits; but
they must be taught to use the products
of their little gardens as a means of con-
ferring happiness on others; for thus can
their own happiness be most effectually
attained, since that which is selfshly en-
ioyed must ultimately result in discon-
tent. But of all the lessons to be learned
in garden the most valuable is the art OF
observing; for so varied, so delicate, so
minute, and yet so unerring, are the oper-
atoms of nature, that though the closest
study may fail to fathom her mysteries,
the rewards of such study are so rich and
so surprising that even the student of ten
der years Is perpetually stimulated to

Abuse of Old Horses.

A correspondent of an exchange says
[ feel deep sympathy for old horses. II
is common practice in this country to
make old horses break the colts and too
often work with them for years 1t is
hard for an old horse to work with q colt
or a young, active horse. Old horses,
like old men, are often capable of perform
ing more hard work than some Young
ones, who can beat them for an hour or
more. The old man wants to take mod
crate jog, and can hold out all day; but a
little immoderate exertion for few min
utes unstrings him perhaps all day. An
old horse driven at the Top of his speed
for few miles spoils the days Journey
When once made sore or strained, the re-
suit is stiffness the next day. The old
horse should not haul his load to town
and then be forced to trOt back. It does
not injure him as much to do heavy work
with slow motion as to do light Jobs at the
last gait Again, the Old horse requires
more time to eat his meals and rest his
nerves. Of all animals the horse is the
worst abused. Although he has been our
faithful and profitable servant vet in his
old age the lash is applied to force out his
youthful vigor. The older he grows the
more he feels the lash. He is often turned
out doors to give place to the colts. Too
often the neglect and abuse he is subject
to, because he is a little old, result in a
greater loss than is made up in he care of
young horses. The last part of a horses
life may be more profitable if rightly used
than the first part.
There is more comfort and less danger
insworking old horses. We understand
them and they understand US; and we
should be willing to conform in some
measure to their wishes It would be
more humane as well as profitable to use
them as they should be and as long as it
would pay, and then take them out and
shoot them down. But the practice is to
knock them about as much as they will
bear to pay well, and then trade them off
to some more inhuman wretch than our
selves The old servant has gone among
strangers, and he receives no sympathy il
his last extremity. We do not blush to
say that a man who hes enjoyed the
profits and pleasures of good horse as
long as he was profitable, and then shoveS
him off among inhuman jockeys, is an
inhuman, treacherOus and suspicious
friend. The man who does so without
regard to how the horse may be cared
for is, in my estimation, of suspicious
character; and | never see horses abused
so as % excite pity but my sympathies
are directed to the mans wife and chill
dren also, if he has them.

UP IN THE CLOUDS.
BIZ DANIEL CONNOLLY.

5zY fri end, your fancy flies too far,
The world of man lies round our feet
Here Is unceasing conflicts are,
And here its varying forces meet
Pray, curb the thoughts that vaguely rise
Above life's real and stubborn facts;
Give DER wild flights to distant skies,
And do some good by human acts.
Ot0pian dreams are pleasant things
No doubtful dreams are poor at best;
We live not by imag'nings,
Nor thrive on vague and vain unrest
We must behold with eyes of sense
Our feet must tread in actual ways
And ere we gain the recompense
TITS ours to number toilsome DAYS
Grand theories of what might be-
Prodigious schemes for changing all
Heave ms order here can never free
Man kind from Natures bond and thrall.
WllGt is, howe'er or whence it came
Is tn at which all must recognize;
What might De wears winsome name,
But brings no Joy to fearful eyes
So. friend, give DER your fancy flights,
Below the clouds you'll daily find
Much strife 'twixt struggling wrongs and rights
Much good TO do to aid your kind
Pray, curb the dreamy thoughts that rise
Above lffe's real and stubborn facts;
Eorsa Ike void realms and vacant skies,
And do some good by human acts.
