T" Owe No Man,


There is no worse demoralizer OF charao-
ter than debt. The sad records of default
ing, embezzlmg, and dishonest failure which
we meet with 50 constantly in the daily
press are often, indeed most frequently, the
result of the decentralization of debt, and con
sequent desperate efforts at extrication. The
financial props have given away. The little
debt which at first was as small as a grain
Of mustard seed, like the rolling SNOWFALL,
has gathered weight and multiplied itself a
thousand fold. And still it grows, and like
the fabulous hydra which Hercules was sent
to kill, You no sooner strike off one head
than two shoot up in its place. The strug-
gle is severe, but in the end decisive either
confession is made of hopeless bankruptcy
which might and should have been avoided,
or integrity is sacrificed to the temptation
of the moment. Debt ruins as many house-
holds, and destroys as many fine characters
as rum; it is the DEVILS mortgage on the
soul, and he is always ready to foreclose
Pay your grocer; pay your pew bills; pay
your minister. BE indebted for nothing but
love, aud even that be sure you pay in kind,
and that your payments are frequent we es.

About borrowing,

The subject Of borrowing and lending
came up in the course of conversation
with subscriber living near Ithaca, when
when he suddenly recollected a funny remin-
iscence of that character which had hap
pened in his own neighborhood. lie said he
had a neighbor whose family are great Dor
rowers, but not so distinguished as paymas-
ters-they were always borrowing but sell
dom, if ever, returning the exact amount
borrowed An old Quaker lady, another
neighbor, who had endured these invasions
for a long time patiently, hit upon very
philosophical mode of eventually putting a
stop to the nuisance. Keeping her own
counsel, the next time her good man went
to town, he had separate and express order
TO purchase a pound Of the best tea and also
new canister TO put it in as he knew she
already had plenty of tea and also a canister,
he was puzzled TO determine what the old
lady wanted of more tea and new canister,
but by his questioning and reasoning elic-
tied nothing more than n repetition of the
order. Jim, did not tell thee to get me a
pound of the best tea and new canister ?
Now 20 and do as bid thee %
And 20 along he did, and when he came
home at night the tea aud the new canister
were his companions. The old lady took
them from him with an amused expression
on her usually placid features, and, deposit
ing the tea in the canister, she sct it on the
shelf for a special use. 1t had not long to
wait for the borrowing neighbor had fire.
quent use for the aromatic herb. The good
lady loaned generously, emptying back in
the canister any remittance OF borrowed teas
which the neighbor's conscience inclined
her to make. Time went on, and after
something less than the one hundredth time
Of borrowing, the neighbor again appeared
for just another drawing Of tea" when the
oft-visited tea canister was brought out and
found TO be empty, and the good lady and
obliging neighbor was just one pound Of tea
poorer than when she bought the canister
which now only remained TO tell the story
Then she made little characteristic speech
perhaps the first in her life. She said
Thou seest that empty canister. filled
it for thee with pound of my best tea, and
| have lent it all to thee in dribets and put
into it all thou hast sent me in return, and
none but thyself hath taken therefrom oil
added unto it, and now thou seest it empty
therefore | will say to thee, thou hast Dor
rowed myself out and | can lend thee nc
more."-Hhica Weekly

Turning In Clover.

We Judge, from the number of inquiries
we have received by letter and otherwise,
that the interest in clover az fertilizing
crop is increasing in the state. One ques-
ton which has been asked us a good many
times, is, When is the best time to turn in
a crop Of clover?" In reply, we can only
say that opinions differ, and probably in
different soils a variation in the practice may
be requisite On light land. like our own,
we find it good practice to pillow under the
second crop late in the fall for small grains,
wheat, etc. But for corn we find equally
good results when the clover is plowed I'M
der in May, just before planting time.
But some pillow in the main crop whom
in its most succulent state, or when about
half the heads have turned brown. The
reason offered for this practice is, that the
bulk of the crop is then the greatest, and it
undergoes most rapid decomposition in the
soil. Others NOV the first crop, pasture off
the second, and then plow late in the fall.
They say that turning in the first crop at its
full growth makes the soil sour, and has a
bad effect upon the crops, while in waiting
until fall you have the advantage of pastur-
ing and il the cattle are kept upon the pas
ture, as they should be, everything the field
produces is returned to il. They claim that
quite as much substance is turned under as
when the top growth is not fed OFF, since
what is lost in top is gained in greater
growth Of roots, as they have several months
more TO grow.

The abominable farming which regards
&c spring poor stock as no disgrace to their

Young cedars make the best poles.

It is an excellent thing too, to associate the
idea Of a yoke bow, in steers mind, with
salt, or a turnip.
SHEEP AND SwINE.-Weak sheep and
lambs will not get their share Of food unless
it is looked to- and it is better to separate
them from the rest of the flock If possible.
Ewes that are near yeaning should have a
warm, roomy apartment Sheep like to
browse hemlock and pine boughs, and it
pays to give them some in winter. Now is
the time too. when roots come in to good
advantage. Breeding sows need care; they
require bulky, light feed skinned milk

for a bed. Swine like clover hay, and it
does them good. Roots, especially sugar
beets, are also "sweet boon" to them.

SPAWN.


1t is very hard 10 convince horsepower,
who has doctored his own, and perhaps his
neighbors' horses for what he calls SPAWN,
and cured them, that true SPAWN is an utterly
uncurable disease. The truth is that every
disease Of the hook is called "spavin," but
the only disease to which that name is rightly
given is an enlargement Of the bone, or
bones, of the hook joint, or growing to-
gether of those bones, without enlargement,
this latter form of the disease being an
exceedingly rare one. This growth of bone
goes on, sometimes very gradually, until the
joint becomes perfectly inhexible, no motion
whatever remaining in it.
The structure of the hook, in the horse,
is very complicated, there being ten bones
belonging to it, each with tendons and ear
tilages, CORDS and gristle) attached to them,
all very sensitive to injury. Between these
bones and around them lie the synovial
membranes, which furnish what is called
the "joint water lubricating fluid that
allows them to play freely on each other,
When, in consequence of over-work, strain,
or direct injury, an Inflammation occurs in
these soft parts, and is neglected, this in
fammation may extend to the bones, caus-
ing them TO enlarge. Any enlargement
of these bones is liable 10 cause lameness,
and constitutes SPAWN. The enlargement OF
the bone, so far as it takes place, can never
be removed, and consequently true spawn
can never be cured. But it may, by proper
treatment, be prevented from increasing

best treatment is TO give rest, avoid stimu

is perhaps the best way of applying the
water. When punches appear, it is usual tC

TnE FLr-TRAPs.--Many years ago, vii

Bishop calculated there were about three
pecks Of flies in the trap" when he appeared,

jooose remark Of the butcher that, as he
was out Of flies, he didn't believe he had any
use for the machine. Bishop stood aghast
at the mans impotence, but soon recovering
his native wit, replied: "Well I'm disap-

Hints 10 Young Men ON Marriage.

When young professional man marries,
he often fondly imagincs he is acting wisely
in choosing his wife from family poorer
than his own. lie fancies that young
lady brought up with few luxuries will be
simple in her ideas. lie calculates that, hay
ing never had money 10 spend, she will be
moderate in her expenditure; that being a
poor mans daughter, she is the better fitted
Tor the part of apoor mans wife; and that,
having lived ia a household supported on,
say, 300 year, she will be easily able to
make ends meet whore there is $500. lie
could hardly make greater mistake. There
are brilliant exceptions, no doubt. But the
girl who has never had money to spend. and
who has never seen money spent, has no
idea of how 10 spend it when she has it.
She thinks $500 year fortune. Her no
tions of what may be done with it are per-
fectly unlimited. Broughams, little dinners.
an occasional box at Convent Garden. Mu-
dies, a maid, lots Of new dresses, gloves
that need never be cleaned or mended, all
these and other visions float through her
mind. She is, Of course, very soon awak-
ened TO realities and is at first amazed at
the rapidity with which her housekeeping
allowance mclts away. The region of ex-
tras is never reached, and it is well if she
docs not soon get into debt with her weekly
bills or forestall her income to pay for some
thing she has ordered without having counted
the cost. A man with a small income con
suits his future comfort TO much better pur-
pose by choosing wife where there is
money, even If he is not to have any share
of it with her. If she has seen her father
give hundreds of pounds for a picture or
horse, she at least knows how much such
things cost; and IT, as in most families Of
the kind, she is able to tell how much will
be required for dress, and how impossible it
will he to have any Of the things which an
inexperienced wife will wish for and perhaps
expect. She has also the advantage of know
ing how little married happiness really de-
ponds upon such things, and how small is
the qualification TO be obtained from pos
sessing them. And she probably knows
that extravaganza is just as fatal to 100000
year as 80 $500, and that 10 keep out of
debt requires management, whatever the
amount of the annual income. Accustomed
TO many servants, she knows what care will
be needed to get the work OF even a small
house done 10y two, and So she helps them as
much as possible, will take a share in the
