ness in the country, came to small
creek, beside which a native was
washing his shirt. The man was

ready reply.
"Thcn you don't agree very well?''

"Why done you get it then?"
That would be caying to Bet,
stranger. She's squatted on the only
bit of bar soap tween here and
Yicksburg. and she just aching to
have me slide up and ask her for it, -
"Aud you won'tT'
stranger" replied the native, as
he Strengthened up, don't / Tool,

The merchant sided with him, and
as he drove on, the mau souscd the

Crops to Make Honey.

T.. n. Riehl, in answering the in
quiry, What crops shall We grow to
make money! before the Alton, ILL.,,
Horticultural Society, makes the fol-
lowing correct remarks, which are true
in other places than Illinois:
Name me those who have failed 10
make reputation or money, and l will
show you those who never stuck 10
anything. They used TO grow toma-
toes, because that was said To be good
paying crop, but after two or three
years trial they thought it didn't pay.
They grew strawberries once, but
they could never get crop
OF large berries, and always got lsss
pay. They tried peaches, but they
never got but OnegOod crop, and that
was in a season when peaches were
plenty, and the returns >ere uncom--
near the cost OF boxes, freight
and commissions, Potatoes were said
TO be a paying crop. They u.ed them;
but just when they planted, so did
every body else, and the season Was
good for them, and there
was an over production, and the prices
fell from seventy-tive to fifteen cent?
per bushel. Or maybe there was q
very dry season, and the bugs were
bad, ana the crop yielded less than-lhe
seed that was planted, and they are
and disconsolately ask,
: What shall we plant to make money?
Sirs, plant that which you know best
how 10 grow; grow that best suited to
your locality and soil; grow it, whether
prices are up or down; grow il every
year; study it until you know more
about it than anybody else; until you
can produce it in its hight ST perfection
every year; until you can grow it prof
Itably at prices at which Others will
;tarve. do this and you will make mon
sy, gain reputation, and have the salts
action of knowing yourselves benefac-
.Ors of your fellow-men.
