Save your own Seeds.

Now is the time for farmers aud their wives and daughters to be- gin to save seeds for next year. The money paid out yearly for northern garden seeds should be saved by raising our own. Be- isides the cash paid out, the los by planting old worthless seeds is really serious and very vexa- tious. Why should we pay ten cents for less than a thimble full of seed when it is impossible to know whether it is one year old or ten, instead of raising our own seeds fresh and pure? The writer has this year lost heavily by sewing worthless millet, corn and beet seed brought from the north. It is mighty fine to buy seeds in infinitismal quantities from Detroit, Chicago or Philadel- : phia five years old, in beautiful papers big enough to hold all the seeds you could get for ten dollars and then have the seed rot in the ground.

Theodore F. Kristen, who has a snake and animal store at 9S Chatham street, went to Kenne- dy & Moony's house at Roosevelt and Front streets yesterday morn ing to examine a box of boa con strictors. The lid of the box was taket of and Kristen reached in to get snake. The snake also reached out for him. The boa, about eight feet long, fasten its jaws in Kirsten's arm, and bit through two arteries. It lashed itself about the room, and MT. Kristen relieved himself only by choking it off This is the sec ond encounter he has had with boas. Last summer a serpent, twenty-two feet in length, the largest boa ever brought to this country, broke out of it's cage and attacked him in a small room, he knocked him down and sat on him. The snake killed itself be fore it could be captured.-New York Sun.

DEAD-ALIvE.-Says the Knox vile { (Tenn.) Chronicle; From gentleman from Granger county we learn that a sister of ex-Goy- enor Senter, to all appearance, died few days since, and prepa- ration for her funeral was made, she being dressed for the coffin. She lay in this condition nearly twenty-fou hours, and just before the hour of burial had arrived the lady opened her eyes, telling those around her that she had been with her father, (who was dead, and was going back to him soon, but that she came back to talk to her brother, D. c. Senter Our informant says that the last he heard of her she was still alive, and that she still insists that she will not remain in this world much longer"

MT. Bonnet, of the Richmond Enquirer, in his last letter from Boston, says: II have mingled freely with all classes of people and attentively observe their tone and temper in conversation among themselves, and my conclusion is that the almost unanimous senti- ment here is favorable to complete and perfect restoration of the south to all her rights and privi- leges in the Union. While they are, as general thing, badly in formed concerning affairs in our section, still they freely admit that we have been badly treated in the course of cur reconstruc- tion, and express themselves as averse to acts calculated to op- press or estrange our people"

How to Obtain Choice Butter.

r l. Securing rich, clean, healthy milk-milk obtained from good cows, we'll cared for, kindly treat ed, grazed upon sweet and nutri- tious pasturage free of weeds, and provided with an abundance of clean, fresh water.
 ?. Drawing the milk from the COW Ill cleanly m amer, and set ting it in an untainted atmosphere, and keeping it at uniform tenn perature-about 50 deg. Fahren- heit-while the cream is rising.
 3. Skimming at the proper time, and before the milk becomes old and bitter or decomposed.
 4. Proper management in churn- ing.
 5. Washing out the buttermilk thoroughly, and working the but ter so as not to injure it's grain.
 6. Thorough and even incorpo- ration of pure salt and putting down in tight, clean, wellmade packages-packages that will ex- clude, as far as possible, the ad- mission of air.
 '. Placing the butter after it is packed (if not sent at once to mar ket in a clean, cool, well-ventilat- ed cellar-one that is moderately dry and absolutely free from all impurities and offensive odors.
 8. Cleanliness in all the opera tions from the time the milk is drawn to the packing and market ing the butter is of imperative necessity. Judgment and expe- rience in manipulating the cream and working the butter must, of course, be an element that is not to be overlooked nor dispensed with.-Moore's Rural.

KILLING THE BEDBUGs.-The best mode of getting rid of bed bugs is to fumigate them with birthstone. Houses standing long and empty which have swamcd with them, have by this means been efectually freed from them. Place in the center of the roem a dish containing about four ounces of birthstone; remove from the room such metallic surfaces as might be affected by the fumes; :; close every aperture, even to the keyhole, and light the birthstone. After four or five hours, enter the room and open the windows for q thorough airing.

What can be Done to Improve the Condition of our Agri-
 cultural Population?

Farming as carried on at pres ent, and as society is constituted, is, undoubtedly the poorest occu- patton followed, else why does every mothers son who can afford tolerable education and a decent suit of clothes quit the farm and study law, medicine, book keeping or anything rather than remain with the "old folks at l.ome" on the farm?
 In giving an answer there is no use for any circumlocution, IT DON'T PAY AS IT OUGHT. Do you blame your son for preferring to make thirty, fifty, or one hundred dollars a month at some other occupation, when he can only make fifteen on the farm?
 The young man on the farm may work all the year round and every day from "rosy morn till dewy eve," through sunshine and rain, and it will take ten years for him to buy q thousand dollar farm and stock it. But then we must expect sickness, doctors bills, and loss of time when no one will hire. So we see that one reason is that the prospect for independence is too distant for our impatient youth. The drudgery of farm life and the want of society are other reasons why so many get away from the country. But per haps the most reasonable excuse is the want of time and opportu- nifty for mental culture.
 In is not that farming is dis honorable that so many quit it, | but there is too much hard labor, too little rest, too few of the ele- ganc;es and luxuries of life; in short, too poor compensation every way. The doctor who would deny that his patient was sick when he knew him to be very unwell would be very poor M. D. Now the farmer is the sick man with no doctor, but he will be told "Physician heal myself" If this is good advice put on your studying cap, find out what's the matter and apply the remedy. The disease is chronic and can't be cured in a year, but when the farmer searches down to the bot tom he may learn why after twen- ty, thirty, or fifty years of toll he and his poor old wife are still in the old log cabin with so FEW of the comforts which old people so appreciate.
 It may be well to suggest that all this wrong is not owing to any one cause, but perhaps to numer- ous causes.
 Lack of economy in our young CT years, too much moving about for the rolling stone gathers no moss, and too many expensive habits.
 There is no occupation which requires the use ofso much sound judgement, and yet it is common ly said; Any clod head will do for farmer" The farmer ought to be well educated too, but just as sure as you educate your son and daughter, he or she will get as far from the farm as possible. The boy will take to making pills or measuring coal oil and molas- ses, and the girl will marry the first chance to somebody who don't have to work for living. Are they to be blamed2 Not at all. They do what they think will be for their happiness.
 It is frequently asserted that the farmer can govern neither the price of wheat he sells nor of what he buys, and consequently IS at the mercy of the world. That
