FARM AND GARDEN
Special or General Farming.

It is said by those who advocate great
diversity of crops that its advantage lies
the many crops cultivated. On the other
hand the benefit of special farming is
that capital, labor and study can be con.
centrated upon one or more crops and
greater profits secured:
Farming is quite like other callipgs
and the great variety of stock to be bred
the wide range of crops that NAV be-
grown, precludes the possibility of a
farmer with ordinary capital undertaking
to breed and grow for profit all of them
All lines of trade and commerce and the
professions indicate specialties, as lead
ing more directly toward success. The
farmer of to-day is not raising his crops
for the supply of his family, he is grow
ing them for profit, and every element of
economy, every condition that assists in
decreasing first cost, is help towards the
desired end.
The position we assume is that every
farmer enhances his chance of success
who, having made judicious selection
of such branches of agriculture as he is
best qualified to follow, secures land and
a market adapted to his business, and de-
votes himself to his business in business
way for profit. The man, for instance,
who undertakes the breeding and raising
of stock, making all his crops conform
to the branch, upon which he depends for
his income, will, by giving the subject
study, be enabled to not only raise his
stock more economically, but have
clearer knowledge of markets than the
farmer who has divided his capital, his
labor, and study upon d'zen different
things. To depend upon the dairy, upon
the breeding of one Or more kinds of stock,
upon fruit culture, grain growing or flax
or broom corn, does not in the sense that
we give to the idea of special farming
preclude the plan of combining all the
necessary crops which may add to the
profit to be derived from the special sys-
tenn adopted.

Neigkborly Courtesies.

The Washington Republican saws: Jakv
watts and Benny Richards were sitting in
watts kitchen the other night cracking
hickory nuts and telling one another how
good their respective fathers were. Jakv
heard his father step up stairs and sud.
denly became silent. Mr.. Watts had
thrown out hint at the dinner-table tina,
he would tend to Jaky when he came home
Tor tying his sister up in bag. When
Jaky heard the old gentleman 8 steps ap-
preaching the kitchen stairs, he said
Benny, something makes me feel as if 7
had forgotten to shut the back gate: IN
be back in minnie" and he hurried out
of the door.
Mr. Watts came down to the kitchen
shaking with suppressed rage, and seeing
lone figure sitting in the dim light e
the fire, he grabbed it by the ear and
raised it out OF the chair. Benny set up
a terrible bowling Mr.. Watts waltzed
MN around the room, jerking out such
remarks as "l'll teach you to perpetrate
such things in my house; you thought
you'd maltreat your little sister, did youl
suppose you'll want to put me in bag
next The Richards boy set up pro,
longed howl, interrupted occasionally bv
quick ouch" and vigorous effort to
cover some tender spot with his hands.
Mr.. Watts gave him a final wrench and
slung him up against the table, with the
observation that he guessed he wouldn't
forget this right away. Benny rushed out
OF the house shifting and uttering all
sorts of threats against Watts. Jaky
stopped him in the yard, and, with an ex-
clamation of Open-mouthed wonder, ex-
claimed: why, Benny, what in the world
IS the matterf Do you feel sickl" Benny
didn't stop to explain, but sAaked over
the fence and home, dropping bad word
Or sob at every step.
Jaky looked very meek as he came into
he house rubbing his legs and showing a
disposition to run at every motion his
ather made, and looked exactly as if he
lad been whipped. Mrs. Richards called
he next day in a high state Of indigna-
ion. She took up her quarters in the
basement hall, with Henry under her arm,
md told the Watts folks just what she
bought Of them. She became highly in
famed and choked with passion, and re-
minded them that they couldn't ride over
Ter, if Mr.. Watts did hold government
,ffice, not if she knew herself. She'd like
o see herself associating with people who
would set upon and maliciously maltreat
tender infant.
Then she danced away with the assur-
.nce that they hadn't heard the last of it.
Mr.. Watts Investigated the matter little,
md he and Jaky held business meeting
n the woodshed, much to Jaky's disgust.
The matter was thoroughly explained, and
Mrs. Watts sent a bowl of currant jelly
.round to Mrs Richards. Mrs. Richards
aid she never really knew what dear,
rood lady Mrs. Watts was before; but
Benny says thatall the currantjelly in the
district can't efface the memory Of one
light, and he longs to be man, so he can
evenge himself upon Mr.. Watts.

How General Sherman's Daughter got
her Diamonds.

The New York Sun gives an explana-
ton of the marvellous generosity which
led the Khediv, of Egypt to make a gift OF
diamonds to General Sherman's daughter,
Mrs. Lieutenant Fitch. The present Is
said to have been brought about by Gen
Charles P. Stone, formerly of the United
States Army and now on the khedives
staff Gen. Stone and Gen. Sherman are
old friends. They first knew each other
in San Francisco twenty years ago. Gen.
Stone resigned the position of Chief Ord
nance Department to become banker,
and it was then that he made the &C
ouaintance of Gen. Sherman, who was
partner in the banking house OF Lucas,
Strong & Co. Each helped the other In
business. When the rebellion broke out
Gen. Stone was made inspector-general OF
volunteers in the District Of Columbus,
and while there he again met Gen. Sher-
man. who served as colonel at the de-
tense of the capital for two months. A1tef
the war General Stone went to Egypt and
the Khedive's army. The Khedive MADE !.
him Fakir Pasha, rank next TO that Oh
a prince of the royal family. 1t was
through Gen. Stone that Gen. Sherman,
while travelling in the East, in 1859, go'
to know the Khedive, and he rendered MN
valuable assistance in organizing th'
; egyptian army. The President havine
, stoned the Act of Congress that permit
f lent Fitch to receive the diamonds, the
will soon be turned over to him Wlthou
c any ceremony, as the Khedive OF Egyl
S has no recognized representative here VIII
g can make the presentation in his nam
0 Where officers of the army, navy or civ
" service have received presents from 10
eign rulers, the custom has been 10 wal

The Relative Value of Corn and Hay.

The Country Gentleman says: 1t has
often been the case that at current prices
it would have been much more economi-
cal to have bought corn instead of hay,
or at least to have bought more grain and
less hay. 1t is often the case that the
feeder finds before the winter is half over
that he will be compelled to buy proven
der of some kind, and it then becomes a
question for him to decide whether it will
not be most profitable to buy corn at once
and feed his hay more sparingly. Many
do not seem to realize that grain may often
be proftably substituted for hay to the adj
vantage of feeder, stock and the manure
pile.
Based upon carefully made chemical
analysis, we find that so pounds of good
hay is equal to ga of corn; or, to place
the matter in another light if ton of hay
has feeding value represented by 1880,
then that of a ton of corn meal will be
represented by 1900. Taking these fig
ures as a guide, we find that when ton OF
good hay is worth $50 the equivalent feed
ing value of one ton of corn meal is S25
Just now wemay place their market value
here at $50 and sec per ton, so that a
present rates we shall have one dollar Il
favor of hay, but should think this wa
more than absorbed by the increased trou
BILE of hauling and feeding the hay, ant
more than made up by the increased valu'
of the manure from the ton of corn meal
do not intend to advocate the feeding
of nothing but corn meal, but only tt
suggest that it may be found economical
to use more meal and less bulky food, es
pecially when the latter is purchased an'
hauled considerable distance.

Mr.. Perkins" she exclaimed with n pretty,

Mr.. Perkins," she exclaimed with pretty
sly glance.
"Dull7" l replied, in dreamy manner
ooh, nonsense!' she cried; at is nc
good putting on modest air, after the
way you behaved yesterday. Do you
know, when you first came here, we all
thought you such sneak-at least, most
of us did; but always said you were not
so demure as you wished to make out and
the way you snatched that kiss from me
yesterday proves it."
49," thought I, "this is the way Mas
ter Jim has been improving my business,
is it?"
I looked at the little rosy mouth and
could not blame him-nay, ventured to
follow his example, and did so with the
greatest success.
''Do you know" said the young lady,
putting her arms on the counter-'do you
know l have liked you ever since you
thrashed that big bully, Grote the butch
er2'
"Whatw exclaimed in amazement,
''thrashed Grote9"
"Of course you did, when he came over
here swearing he would pull your nose
Oh, did like the cool way in which you
went to meet him, and knocked him down.
1t was splendid!'
Could it be possible9 Had my twin
brother thrashed the butcher, and left me
to reap the glory2 AS if to confirm my
suspicious, at that very instant Grote APP
peared in his shop-and oh, his face! 1t
was one mass of bruises! stepped out
on to the pavement to have look closer
at him. On seeing me he bowed politely,
but merely shook my fist at him and he
retreated rapidly.
/ cannot describe how my business in
creased from that day, and all through
Jim's boldness and light heartedness.
During the day 1 received letter from
my dear brother, in which he informed me
that he had not lost his money; but hav-
ing heard of my misery he invented this
little plot to save me.
l have now several large shops. Jim
has never joined me, he having retired
from the turf and become gentleman
farmer. l am married, and have large
family. My eldest boy is about to marry
Miss Grote, Grote having become very
good friends with me, and, what is better,
very rich. But. good friends as we are,
l never thought it worth my while to in
form him of his slight mistake.-From

Iedru-ROllin.

He was a great man for he was true
man. Not a statesman in the highest
meaning of the word, nor man OF ac-
ton; vet true and consistent patriot
Suddenly and unexpectedly he came into
power in 1848 as a member OF the ITO
yisional Government of France, ana ne
was not equal to the difficulties OF his
position; that is the only reproach to be
flung against him. Clearer-sighted than
his colleagues, not swayed as some OF
them were by personal ambition OF IoIe-
gone conclusions of particular policy, ne
yet lacked strength to prevent the dlsas-
trous foreign policy of Lamartlne (who
forgot the traditions of 'S9 in his attempt
to automatically curry favor with the
courts of Europe) or to overdue the
foolish (more foolish because untlmeiy)
schemes of his socialist fellows In the
90 vernment. He failed also in the June
insurrection to take his right place las
brief opportunity afforded) as leader and
savior of the roletariat-misled into re-
volt by false hopes from friends and by
the intrigues of monarchical conspirators.
So Cavaignac was left to rule the fratri-
cidal contest, and the proletariat anu the
Republic were murdered together, as OF
late again by Theirs. Yet he was wise
to perceive the situation; and failing,
failed from defect not from untruth
of nature-because he was rather the par
liamentary leader than the revolutionist.
When the French Government invaded
Rome-a fair sequel to Lamartine's nom
intervention Observation-Disclosures ollln
was foremost in the endeavor to rouse
France to prevent the outrage. Nobly
defeated, he went into exile. The Re-
public was at an end.
In England he was the close friend and
ally of Mazzini and the Polish republic
cans; and his name was always with
Mazzini's to the proclamations OF the
.'Centra1 European Democratic Commit
tee;" proclamations which, however little
they may be needed now, have altered
once for all the principles of the future
republic and prophcsied its triumph.
In person Ledru- Rollin was much above
the average height; tall and bulky per
haps there was the secret OF his incapa-
city in quickness in action; and OF
commanding presence, as suited the ora
tor; and as a lawyer successful, though
his success was hindered by his decided
part in politics Success and wealth he
sacrificed for his principles. But in his
latter days, returning to France after the
downfall of Napolean Ill, he found him
self rich again-his property largely in
creased by the Improvements in the quar-
ter of Paris in which it lay.
Large-hearted, true and eloquent! Ul-
timus Romanorum! The last, think, or
if not the last, yet nearly the last of the
leaders who in 1S49 shook the thrones of
Europe-whose spirit yet lives and works
for their final overthrow and toward the
establishment of the Republic-not re-
public la Theirs. Some were of greater
genius than his, some suffered more in
in their career of martyrdom for the
Faith; but I think none was truer at
heart or better hearted than Ledru- Rollin.

MOUNTAIN CUsTARD OR JUNKET.-
Take piece of rennet an inch long, or a
teaspoonful of the wine in which rennet is
kept, to each quart of milk. Season
with vanilla or lemon, a little nutmeg,
and tablespoonful of sugar to each
quart. More will retard the formation.
Set in warm place near the fire, or ON
the kitchen table closely covered. Look
at it from time to time, and if in the
course of an hour there are no signs of
stiffening, add more rennet. When it is
firm, like blanc mango, and before the
whey separates from the curd remove
the rennet, and set upon ice until it is
wanted. Serve with powdered sugar and
cream.

THE discovery of frozen ground at
considerable depth in Colorado silver
mine affords a new problem for biologists.
The mine is located high up on McClel-
Ian mountain at an altitude of over 49,
900 feet The miners were tunnelling in
to the side of the mountain, and had at
tanned distance of about ninety feet
without encountering any unusual obsta-
cles, when they were astonished to find
the ground before them solidly frozen.
Through this frozen area they have already
tunpelled to distance of more than two
hundred feet, and it is probable the frost
extends much farther. There appears to
be no crevice or channel through which
the frost could enter from above, and it
is altogether impossible that the cold of
our present winters could have penetrat-
cd to such depth. How, then, did the
frost get there9 is the puzzle. One solu-
ton that has been suggested is that it was
frozen through the intense cold of the
glacial period. The fact that numerous
evidences of glacial action are found on
the mountain and in the vicinity, give
some plausibility to this theory.

Two Pictures.
BEFORE MARRIAGE.

Nv Maggie, my beautiful darling,
Creep into my arms, my sweet
Let me fold you again to my bosom,
So close can hear your heart beat.
What! these little fingers been sewing;
Ones been pricked by the needles see.
These hands shall be kept from such labor
When once they are given to me-
All mine, little pet, will shield you
From trouble and labor and care,
I will robe you like some fairy princess,
And jewels shall CLEAN in your hair;
Those slippers you gave me are perfect,
That dressing gown fits to a T.
Nv darling, wonder that heaven
Should give such treasure to me.
Time flies so when am with you,
It seems but moment I've been here,
And now, must say it?-Adieu!
" AFTER MARRIAGE.
Oh, Meg you are heavy--Tm tired;
Go sit In the rocker, pray;
Your weight seems hundred and ninety,
When you plump down in that sort of way
You had better be mcnding my coat sleeve;
I've spoken about it before,
And want to finish this novel,
And look over those bills from the store
This dressing gown sets like the ID;
These slippers run down at the heel;
Strange, anything can never look decent;
wish you could know how they feel.
What's this bill from Morgans? Why, surely
It's not for another new dress!
Look here! I'll be bankrupt ere New Year,
Or your store bills will have to grow less.
Eight o'clock? Meg sew on this button
90 As soon as you finish that sleeve,
Heigh no! I'm so deucedly sleepy,
I'll pile off to bed, believe. .s..

WORTH REMEMBERING.-Al lady cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman
says In cooking oatmeal, hominy,
wheaton grits, cracked wheat, or any of
these nice breakfast dishes, cook it in a
covered tin dish set in kettle of boil
ing water; in this manner there is no
danger of scorching. Cornstarch pud-
ding, sea-moss, farina, and all other arti-
Giles mixed with milk, can be cooked in
the same way.
In roasting poultry, one thickness OF
writing or nice brown wrapping paper
tied round the wings and drumsticks
will keep them. from being baked to 6
crisp and spoiled.

To START CUTTINGS Cuttings of many
plants can be readily started in water; and
in the early spring if you have not a
greenhouse or hotbed it is the safest
plan.
Fill small bottles or phials with warm
ish water, remove the lower leaves OF the
cuttings Ito be sure to have bud at the
base), and put them in water; hang up
the phial to the window sash, tying
string about the mouth for this purpose
If cotton wool is put around the mouth
of the phial, it will prevent the evapora-
ton of the water and make the roots
sprout more quickly by keeping up more
even temperature. Oleanders can De
rooted in this manner; also heilotropes,
verbenas, roses, fuschsias and all kinds Oh
bedding-out plants
The process is 50 simple that mere
child can succeed with it. AS soon a.
the roots are an inch long, the cutting
should be transPlsnted, taking care u
spread out the tiny rootlets as they grow
in the water. -,
Some fill up the bottle with rich earn
let it dry off for two or three days an
then break the glass and pot or plant Oh
the cuttings without disturbing its roo
in the least degree. This is the most &C
tain way of obtaining plants from Gu
tings.-Ddisy Eyebright.
