Let Us be more SOciable.

In order 10 increase the sum Of hu-
man happiness, we should cultivate
kind and fra,ernal feelings with one
another. \ true life consists in some
thing else than simply accommodating
property. We do not and cannot
live by bread alone A writer in
the Journal Of agriculture discourses
on this subject most beautifully, as
follows: The sole object and aim
of too many individuals seems to be
to get gain, grab ALL let the con-
sequences be what they may TO others.
The design to accumulate wealth, re-
gardless of the comfort and social
happiness of our neighbors, and the
interchange of friendly sentiment,
should be ignored. On the other
hand, we should so live and act that
the generous impulses Of our own
hearts would prompt Us to extend the
hand of fellowship to all our neigh
borS, and, looking them squarelv in
the eye, feel that glorious Inward
consciousness that we had never
wronged them in thought, word or
show. Then, too, let little deeds Of
love be done; let the princlples of
the golden rule be exempliied in
daily lives let Us he more soclabIe,
and cultivate our convivial qualities
by frequent intercbangeS Of friendly
greetings at social gatherings; let no
arist,cracy he acknowledged save
that of the intellect let Us beau,ify
our homes; let US make them what
they should be 10y cherishiny a love
for the beautiful, so that
Blessings may attend US forever;

Modern Machinery.

With the use of modern machinery
a single miller is now able to produce
-four enough for the daily supply Of
$500 men. With the hand-mill,
which was the machine for grinding
grain among the Greeks, man could
produce only -four enough to supply
twenty-five men. Thus the machine
~ of the present mill represents the
labor OF l44 men. A lively knitter
can make thirty stitches minute
with her needles. The kaittiug ma
chine will make 4,S00 stitches in the
same time; or, in other words, works
with an efficiency equivalent to l60
laborers. In the light of these illus
trations, if we compare the slow
process of hand labor which prevailed
among the auclents, 1000 years after
Homer's time, with the abundant and
complex luxuries enjoyed by the
aristocra,ic and idle classes Of that
period, we shall give some conception
Of the drudgery performed by the
laboring people, and of their misera-
BILE reward The splendor Of antiquity
grows dull and uuenviable when it is
considered at what a vast expense OF
human poverty and suffering it was

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
WINTER-KILLED WHEAT.


We have information TO the effect
that much of he.whrat in John-"n.
Saline, II ,ward. Boone, Cooper and
Randolph counties in Missouri ha-
been winter killed, anl that poor a.
are some of the farmers in that dis
trict are many of whom will have 10
replant. There is more suffering in
many Missouri counties now than the
world has any knowledge of, caused
by drou,h, gras>hoppers and chInch
bugs during the past two wears.
During the past winter, horses, cat
tie and hogs rave been almost given
away for the want of fodder, thu,
leaving the farmer almost helpless.
One good will come Of this at all
events; many being unable to pur-
chase seed have been compelled TO
avoid their usual crops and have bor-
rowed flax seed This will teach
many that there are other crops to
be raised besides corn and wheat,
and will give them the results lnva-
riably following the rotation practice.
Flax, too, NAV be harvested earlier
than many other crops, and will there
fore relieve the farmer from embar
rassment sooner. 4 correspondent
writing to one of our city firms says
that in the above mentioned counties
be has seen thousands of acres Of
wheat that will not make the seed
sown on it.-IHdustrial Record.
The lesson that is being taught the
Missouri farmers by grasshoppers and
bugs should be learned by Louisiana
planters from cotton worms and over
flow. We are confident that diversity
Of crops &c, aud rotation in planting
is the secret of agricultural success.
If the water remains on the ground
too long for cotton to be planted with
anv promise of success, let our plant
ers seed the ground down in fall or
winter oats, and they will not be 50
much distressed about getting proven
der for their horses and cattle next
wear if another overflow should come.
If this had been done last year the
effects Of the present overflow would
not be so disastrous. Remember that
winter growing small grains are the
most certain crops in this country,
and that diversity Of planting is the
/ onIv means Of inSurng success.

remain true to the end, as the key to

the matter. Land which is best suited
to cotton should he planted TO cotton.
Land that is better suited to some
