The Advantage Of Having . Good
Wife,

A correspondent of Our Home
Journal, says:
IL have been married twenty-five
years. The first four years before /
was married l began farming with
two hundred and fifty acres in Blue
Grass region, Kentucky. I handled
cattle, hogs, sheep and horses-prin-
cipally the first two named - and
lived, l thought, tolerably economi-
cally; spent none of my money for
tobacco in any way; neither betting
a cent or dissipating in any way; and
yet at the end of four years l had
little or no money. l then married u
young lady of eighteen years of age
who had never done any house
work or work of any kind, except to
make portion of her own clothes.
She had never made shirt, drawers,
pants or waistcoat, or even sewed
stitch on a coat, and yet before we
had been married year she had
made for me every one Of the articles
of clothing named, and knit numbers
of pairs of socks for me-yeS, and
mended divers articles for me, not
excepting an old hat or Two. She
had also made butter, sold eggs,
chickens and other fowls, and vege-
tables to the amount of nearly six
hundred dollars in cash, at the end Of
the year, whereas, during the four
years that | was single l had never
sold five cents worth besides making
me purely happy and contented with
my home. And SO far as to making
of money, we have made money clear
of expenses ever since we have I'M
dertakcn the farm, and she has made
three hundred and fifty to five hun
dred dollars every year except one,
during the time, selling butter, eggs
and marketing of different kinds
My yearly expenses of fine clothing,
etc, before | was married, were more
than my yearly expenses were after l
was married, combined with the ex-
pcnses of my wife and children; and
our farm has increased two hundred
acres; and | believe that if had not
married, it never would have incrcas-
ed but little, if any; and l have never
been absent from home six nights,
when my wife was at home, since we
were married, and her cheeks kiss as
sweetly to me as they did the morn
ing after | was married"

ONLY A FARMERS DAUGHTER.

shes only farmers daughter
A stylish lady said,
With j scornful glance OF her handsome eye,
And toss OF her naughty head.
She frilled and founced and furbelowed
In the very latest style:
Her head was wonder of crimps and curls,
And her train something less than mile.
Her hands, that sparked with many 4 ring,
Were shapely and fair to view
AS they well might be, for no useful work
Were they ever allowed to do
To hear her talk of the Flower class"
OF their sins against propriety.
"Of her family and Of country girls,
And her horror Of mixed society,"
One would think that among her ancestry
She numbered at least an Earl
Her father was once a carpenter,
And her mother u factory girD.
They say she is brilliant and beautiful,
will not their words deny;
But ali the farmers daughter
ls fairer far to my eye.
She is not in the height Of fashion,
But Is very becOmingly dressed.
With founces enough for comfort,
And they look as If made of the best
Mrth and innocent happiness
Out of her blue eyes shine;
Her hair is untortured by crimps or curls.
And she wears it by right divine
No mother tolls in the kitchen for her,
While she ON the sofa Tolls,
Novel in hand. dressed in her best,
Receiving her morning calls
A share in the heat and the burden of life
She willingly, cheerfully takes,
And duty. and love- in tina; happy home,
A pleasure of labor makes.
And though you may smile at this curious fact,
have seen her with hoe in her hand.
While she planted the corn, or waged war on the
weeds,
When mans help was scarce in the land.
And her flowers next summer you'll Sc,
them yourself,
As you ride past the farm on the prairie.
And mark the home covered with roses and vines
The work of this Martha or Mary.
And I'm sure you will say. spite the verdict Of
those
Who live ont in fashions gay whirl,
That only farmers daughter means

ASHES FOR ORcHARDs.-Thc Scicn-
t;fc american says: The point to
which we now call attention is, that
our farmers and fruit growers have
ignored or rather have been ignorant
of, the Importance of wood ashes as
a vegetable stimulant and as the lead
ing constituent Of plants. Even coal
ashes, often thrown away as useless,
have been shown both by experiment
and analysis to possess u fair share of
alkaline value. We will relate only
one experiment: Some twenty-five
years ago we treated IN old hollow
pippin apple tree rs follows: The
hollow, to the height Of eight of eight
feet, was filled and rammed with a
compost IT wood ashes, garden mold
and little water lime (carbonate)
The filling was securely fastened in
by boards. The next year the crop
OF sound fruit was sixteen bushels
from an old shell of a tree that had
borne nothing of any account for
some time, and for seventeen years
after filing, the old pippin tree
continued to flourish and beas
we'll.

REPELLING ANTS. - Some years
ago, says correspondent of the Lon
don Times, at my house in the coun.
try, y colony of ants established
themselves under the kitchen flooring.
Not knowing the exact locality Of
the nest, l cndeavored to destroy the
insects with treacle, sugar, arsenic,
&c. but although l slew numbers
thus, the plague still increased. At
last, bethinking myself that ants
dislike the smell of tar, I procured
some carbolic acid, and diluted it
with about dozen times its weight
Of water. l squirted pint of the
mixture through the air-bricks under
the flooring, and my enemies vanished
that day, never to return. 1t has al
ways been successful. For crickets,
&C., also, little of this sent into
their holes act as an immediate notice
to quit.

There has been a romantic suit in
Kansas City foran estate Of $500 900,
and it has ended, as it should have
done, in the most romantic manner.
Thirty years ago, William ellis was
one OF the pioneer capitalists of the
West. AT that time Lahurst, Chief
of the Pion-Kashou Indians, had a
daughter, lovely if dusky, and her
name was musical and soft as that of
any Indian maid. Kahkotcqua won
the heart of William ellis, who
bought her from her father for bale
of blankets, and lived with her.
They had one daughter, Nancy, one
of the prettiest of halt-breeds, and
the belle of the trading-post which
has since become Kansas City. She
grew up and had two sons, Frank
Boye and Jim Charley. ellis did
not treat his halt-breed family kindly
for when he died he wiiled his estate,
consisting of handsome business
blocks, and at least one hotel, to his
niece Mrs. Troost, reserving Sl25,-
600 for an orphan asylum. The half
breed heirs claimed the whole estate
and the County Court awal ded it to
them jointly. The administrators
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
Il day or so ago that tribunal affirmed
the decision Of the lower court.
Thus the two orphans most interest
ed, heirs Of the woodland and stream,
have become wealthy capitalists
The moral Of this story is evident.
And those who make 4 practice Of
buying up pretty Indian girls will do
well to avoid willing their property
away. 1t only gives trouble, and
wastes the money in legal fees, be-
sides making the lcgatce mad with
out doing him or her any good.

WHAT WILL MAKETnE HENS LAY.
--Puttwo or more quarts of water in
kettle, add one large seed pepper
or two small ones, then put the kettle
over the fire. When the water boils
stir in coarse-ground Indian meal,
until you make thick mush. Let
it cook an hour OF more. Feed hot.
Horseradish chopped fine, ard stirred
into the mush has been found to pro-
duce good results Four weeks ago
We commenced feeding our hens
mush as prepared in the above direc-
tons, and for result we are getting
from five to ten eggs per day; where
as previous to feeding, we had not
had eggs for Il long time. We hear
4 great deal Of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To
all such we would warmly recon-
mend cooked food, fed hot. Boiled
apple-skins, seasoned with red pep
pers, or boiled potatoes, seasoned
with horseradish, are good for feed !;
much better than uncookcd corn.
Corn, when fed by itself, has ten
dency to flttcn hens, instead of pro-
ducing the more profitable egg-lay-
ing. \ spoonful of sulphur stirred
into their feed occasionally will nd
them Of vermin and tone up their
systems. This is especially good
for young chickens or turkeys. Out
of a flock of ten chickens, Matched
the last of November, we have lost
but one. They have been fed cook
ed feed mostly and are growing
finely.

WHEAT OR CoRN.-Wc have here
tofore called attention to the pro-
priety of feeding wheat in localities
where wheat could be bought for
within 10 to Is cents of the price of
corn. a hog feeder of Illinois has
experimental with ground wheat,
soaked thoroughly in hot water, treat
ing his corn meal in the same man
ner, and with bushel of ground
wheat he has produced II pounds of
pork against IL pounds produced
with corn meal. The English farm
ers are feeding good deal Of wheat,
the selection being based upon care
full experiments.
All stock feed, except grass, will
be high for the next six mo this at
least, and it stands every farmer in
hand to study the subject of feeding
carefully. No corn should be fed to
hogs dry, especially after the freezing
weather is over. Perhaps the cheap
est way to economist feed, and do
this with the least labor, is to shell
and soak the corn, keeping it covered
with water for forty-eight hours. In
warm weather the corn SO treated
will soften sufficiently in the time
named. In cold weather a longer
period is required. Corn treated in
this manner is excellent feed for
young pigs, from the time they are
four weeks old. Hogs or pigs fed in
this way, and allowed access to good
grass, will grow rapidly, if well bred,
during the summer season. Wheat
can be treated in the same manner,
with like good results.

PICKING OFF Potato BLOSSOMS
We observe some discussion in the
papers on the practical utility ofpick-
ing the blossoms off from growing
potalo-plants to increase the growth
of the tubers. According to theory,
this would be the result, the formation
of seed always tending to exhaust
more or less the vitality Of the plant.
Many years ago Il statement came
from Europe on this subject, and we
were told that the crop would be in
creased onc-third by carefully rcmov-
ing all blossoms We gave it care
tul test in rows side by side, but
ordinary measuring did not indicate
the slightest difference, which must
have been very small if any-proba-
bly, requiring more refined weighing
to distinguish it, and of no conse-
quence whatever in common prac-
tlce.

Training a Colt.

Many persons, when colt becomes
used to the halter when standing in
the stable, endeavor to teach it to
lead by going before, expecting a colt
to follow. The colt does not know
what is wanted, and SO refuses, and
then comes Juggling at the end Of the
halter, and often whipping from be-
hind, by an assistant, until at length
the little sufferer begins to c2mpre-
bend what pulling from before and
whipping from behind means, in the
language of those terrible beings
who have gotten it, III some incom-
prehensihlc way to the colt, into their
power.
Another way, and we must ac-
knowledge a more humane one than
that last described, is to take the colt
out at the end Of a long, light rope,
but so that it may still be within
reach of the whiplash, and then lunge
the terrified animal about, sometimes
until the sweat starts from every pore
in the body. The only reason, how
ever, why we think this more humane
than the other is, that it is less rea-
sonable TO expec, the colt to advance
toward an object it fears, than that it
should try to escape another similar
object it fears.
The preferable way is to take the
colt by the halter strap, near the
head, and, standin-; by its side, and
holding 4 light whip, continue to tap
it gently behind, if it sulks when
hidden to go. 1t, on the contrary, it
tries to rush ahead, restrain it at first
only so much as to check undue cx-
uberance, and guide it in the direction
wished, talking gently to it, and at
the end OF the lesson giving Il little
sugar or some other thing it likes
In this way it will soon come to like
the exercise, and then it may easily
be taught to go in circle, both right
and left 1t will be thoroughly
trained in a short time, and will
always lead promptly up to, or by the
side Of the attendant.
10 make the colt advance to you
when standing in front, at the end of
the halter, give a slight pull and say
"come," repeating this until you are
satisfied the colt will not respond
Then, upon repeating the word, tap
the colt on the fore legs with the end
Of the whip, and it will soon learn
what you want. When the colt has
approached close to you, give 1t
taste Of something 1t likes, and it will
soon learn to come and lay its head
on your shoulder. 1t is true it takes
time to educate the colt, but these
lessons are never lost, and, perfect
confidence being formed between the
colt and yourself, the subsequent
training to the saddle and harness
will be sufficiently simpli6ed to more
than repay this extra care at the be-
ginning. The difference between
breaking a horse and training a horse,
is simply the difference between the
exercise of brute force and human
intelligence.

The agricultural editor of the Os-
kaloosa Hera!d, HIMSELF farmer and
stock-brecder, says:
The day is fast approaching when
the number Of thoroughbred animals
produced in Iowa, will be quadru-
pied and. more. Breeders are just
getting their eyes open to the fact
that it costs but little, if any, more
to raise a thoroughbred calf, that will
readily bring 800 at one year old,
than native which ut the same age
will bring SIS, or grade that will
bring $25 or $50; and when this
point is seen, it is eagerly embraced.

Mining Troubles.

PorrsvILLE, Pa, June 5.-There is nothing
new to report on the situation this morning, all
being reported as quiet at Mahauoy City and
Shenandoah, where the troops arc stationed;
no change having as yet been made, nor
any portion Of the military sent to 9th
or Sections of the region, as was thought
necessary last night. 1t is thought three
more of the raiders have died since Thurs
days engagement Of wounds, received IN
the skirmish below the town on that day. The
presence oftroops Is regarded with much dis
favor by the mining population. The majority
of citizens and business men have petition IN
circulation to-day, and are obtaining large Dpm-
Der of signatures. They ask that troops may be
retained there at least two weeks. The petl-
ton will Immediately be forwarded to Gov
Hartranft.
