Farming a Dull Business.

TALKING with very BRIGHT and am
oltlous young woman, farmers daugh-
ter, where we stopped over night, she
sald farming was dull sort of life
" Yes" said young man of TWENTY-FIVE
years, there is no incentive to work.
1t is all hum-drum, routine, and hard
work-no relaxation of effort and moth
ing to stimulate the mind"
What nonsense" we replied "There
is everything for stimulus Each farm
is world itself, about which those who
have lived upon it know little or nothing,
comparatively. Suppose, for example,
we were to ask how many kinds of
grasses-real grasses-grown on your
farm. Could you tell US, with their cor
rect names, habits and history? Suppose
we ask you how many species of plants
are indigenous on your farm and the
names of these plants, time Of Towering,
color OF flowers, soil and locality in
which they grow. Could you tell Us?
suppose we were to ask you how many
species OF birds visit your farm every
year, the time of their arrival and de
parture, their habits while with YOU, their
names and their habits while absent from
your locality the balance of the year
Could you tell u.s. Suppose we ask you
now many species of insects are to be
found on your farm; their names. his
tory, habits, whether Injurious to YOU or
not; upon what trees or plants they live !;
when and how often they appear and
how long they stay. Could you tell US?
Suppose we ask you to show US speci-
mems of the grasses and other plants, the
birds, insects, etc, which may be gath
cred within your boundary fences. Could
you show them to u.s. And yet. if YOU
were to undertake to acquire the knowl-
edge we have suggested by these in
9uiries you would find your life too short.
Yet the knowledge you would gain, the
interest you would soon take In it, and
the knowledge of your own impotency
you would acquire would prove to you
that 1t is not the farm that is a dull
place, but it is you who are dull. "-RurdE

stories are tcld of the companionships
| tn Y sometimes form. An observer once
found in-the same burrow a 'female-owl
! with two eggs, female ground-squir
| (Spermophilus Douqlasst) and a racer
snake. The rattlesnake is often an in
| mate of the habitation shared in com
| mon by this owl and the prairie dog, and
| all seem to live together in harmony.
| Did either display disposition to mclest
| the others there would soon ensue dis
| solution of these communistic societies
but they appear to flourish to the salts
| faction of all parties concerned. When
| alarmed, the burrowing owl commences
| burrowing and gesticulating and chatter
| ing in most ludicrous fashion; or ii
| first takes to its wings, flying swiftly
along the ground to a more distant local
| ity and there breaks out into excited ex.
pressions of disapprobstion. Near.
sighted people have the KEY to the queer
bowings and twisfings of the head char
acteristic of the owl family. They are
made in the effort TO adjust the focus OF
| vision correctly and answer to the souint-
| ing and screwing of the eyes involuntari-
ly practiced by the short-sighted.
The snowy owl is a noble bird. It's
| home is within the Arctic circle, and il
is never met with in the United States
| save in midwinter, and then rarely. 1t
is an expert fisher, and, crouching on the
edge of air-holes in the ice, seizes with
lightning.like celebrity every finny ven
turer that comes to the surface. 1t also
feeds on hares, squirrels, rats, etc.
There are several dimnutive species of
! owls inhabiting the Pacific States. The
California pigmy owl (GLancidtuna p1sse-
RI rrIj
than sparrow, and is diurnal in its hab-
It's. Its notes are represented as clear
and soft, like those of flute. Its food
is entirely insectiverous. Whitney's owl
(Hicdntheae WHttlleys) is less in size than
the species first mentioned, and /. the
smallest known ON our continent. The
red-tailed owl fGldncidtum fenugtneafnlI is
also diminutive species, confined to the
Southern Territories and Mexico, and
thence ranging into South Ameri-
ca. OF the seventeen species dwell
ing in North America two
the barn owl (Strfr .fammea) and the
marsh owl (Otus brachy0tus)-are found
in all parts of the world; nine range
from shore to shore of our continent,
and two-the burrowing owl and the
great horned oWl-are peculiar to the
Western Hemisphere. On account of
the secluded habits of the owls. their
nests are not frequently met with, and
their eggs are rare treasures in the cabi-
net of the biologist. Among the choice
possessions of the Smithsonian Institute
are four eggs of the snowy owl, which
Capt. G. F. Hall took from a nest on the
bare ground while on some Arctic expe-
dition, and sent, packed in an old moe
casln, to the national storehouse of sci
entitic curiosities.
Owls are sometimes exposed among
game-birds in the-market. They are
| eaten with great relish by the negroes
| and Indian tribes. Audubon testifies
that the flesh of the snowy owl has a
dainty and palatabie flavor.-Chicago

wholesale house that is exclusively oe-

done larger trade this year than ever
before. This house employs sixty hands,
male and female, all the year round, and
turns out this class of toys to the amount
of $50, 600 per annum. The cheapest
set of furniture turned out by this
firm consists of a box made of deal, a
glass decanter, two dishes and four plates
of china, two glasses, pewter dish
cover, two knives, forks and spoons; the
whole for three sous From this price
the sets mount up by regular gradations

Profits of Bookkeeping.

TIE following is an extract from an
address by NJ. Quimby, who is good au-
thority on the subject of beekeeping:
g Is the business profitable? Will ii
pay? The leading principle will pre-
dominate here. Is money to be made by
1t? Suppose man has no bees to start
with, but has knowledge of the bust
ness. He can earn at ordinary farm
| work $500 during the summer season.
He wants bees. One hundred hives are
| all he can care for. Suppose they cost
him 5000. He wants hives and fixings.
| costing $500 more. Here is $1,000 in.

| $40. lie must raise that and the 5000
he could have raised on farm to get
even. Take a season such as the present
has been ten miles south of the Mohawk
| where one man had the control of 40
hives and obtained nearly II, 600 pounds
| of surplus. Call it 10000 900 box
| honey and 10000 extracted The first.
at twenty-five cents, amounts to 81 800;
| 10000 extracted, at fifteen cents, amounts
to 81 800.
1.-The man starting with 81 900 capital
| would realize at this rate over 81 zoo
| more than 81 400 above what his wages
for few months would have been and
the interest on the capital invested
But says one, he has not paid for his
stock and may not do it another year
| But he has it on hand and it is not de-
preciated in value Possibly it has in
| creased He can sell or try another

remunerative than many other pursuits
The uncertainty of this kind of stock
has tendency to discourage Young mep
from beginning. Perhaps it is as well
that 1t does somewhat; otherwise too
many would be SO eager for the money
to be obtained they would not wait to
become acquainted with the business by
practicing on a small scale. | need not
say that as well might the man who had
never seen or used the tools of carpen-
ter, mason or cabinet-maker undertake
to build house and furnish it as for one
wholly ignorant of Bookkeeping to attempt
to go into the business before getting a
knowledge of it.
The ignorance of some on the subject
is almost Incredible. They do not know

not wish to encourage such a person TO
commence until he has ambition to learn
what is wanted. This is essential to
continued success. Like the mechanic,
he must understand the house from cell

others to do and know when it is done

reward, even if he seeks no other than

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Put hard sand instead of ashes on slip
| perry sidewalks.
To cure scratches in horses, wash the
leg with warm, strong soap-suds and then
with beef brine.
JUMBLEs.-One cup of sugar well sifted
one scant cup of butter, two cups OF
| -four, two eggs; flavor them with lemon
NEVER store any article of food OF
| drink in old petroleum barrels. They
| are poisonous even after they are
cleaned.
To EACH bowl of starch before boiling
add teaspoonful of EPSON salts. Arti.
| cles prepared with this will be sitter
| and in measure fire-proof.
If you have been picking or handling
| acid fruits and have stained your hands
| wash them in clear water. wipe them
| lightly, and, while they are yet moist
strike a match and shut your hands
| around it so as to catch the smoke, and
the stain will disappear.
DECAY of the teeth is really caused by
| their being dissolved by acids generated
in the mouth by the decomposition of
small particles of food. lis clear, there
fore, that the only method of preventing
this is to apply the brush Immediately
after every meal. Soap is the best snb-
! stance to use on the brush, though it is
advisable occasionally to use a rather
rough powder of some kind to keep the
teeth in brilliant polish.
THE London Lancet, which ought to be
good authority, says: "Anodynes, mar
cotics, cough mixtures ana lozenges are
practically of no good, and but too often
increase the debility and hasten the fatal
end. The best method of easing cough
is to resist it with all the force of will
possible, until the accumulation of
phlegm becomes greater, then there is
something to cough against, and it comes
up very much easier, and with half the
coughing. A great deal of hacking and
hemming aud coughing in invalids is
nervous, purely nervous, or from the
force of habit, as is shown by the fire.

To Steam a Turkey-All of us are
used to roast and boiled turkey, but a
steamed turkey is more of a novelty.
while it is also most delicious dish.
Cleanse the fowl thoroughly, then rub
pepper and salt well mixed into the in
side of it. Fill up the body with oysters
mixed with a small cupful of bread
crumbs. Sew up all the apertures; lay
the turkey in large steamer and
place over kettle of boiling water;
cover closely and steam thoroughly for
two hours and a half Now take il up /;
set the platter in warm place, and turn
whatever gravy there is in the steamer,
straining it first into the oyster sarce,
which you have prepared in the follow
ing manner: Take pint of oysters, turn
a pint of boiling water over :nem in a
colander. Put the liqGor on to boil, skim
of whatever rises to the top. Thicker it
with a tablespoonful of flour ru bbed into
two .ablespoonfuls of butter; season well
with pepper and salti add two or three
tablespoonfuls of cream or milk to whit
en- it, and pour it over the turkey and
platter; serve boiling hot. This sauce
must be made while the turkey is still
in the steamer, so that it can be poured
over the turkey as soon as 1t is taken III,

The official report to the Austrian Gov
eminent respecting musical instruments
at the Vienna Exposition declares the
Mason Il Hamlin Cabinet Organs TO be
"the most distinguished and praise
worthy instruments of their class;
praising in detail their power and reso-
nance of tone, variety of combination and
SOLO effects; fine power of expression /;
smooth, even and sympathetic tones, and
thorough workmanship. They were
awarded the first and highest medal
O1her American organs in competition
were declared to be far less meritorious
the tones and workmanship being both
inferior. In comparison, it was said
Judged leniently, they do not rise
above respectable mediocrity." This
was undoubtedly the most extensive
thorough and competent comparison of
such instruments ever made
