as intelligent and thoughtful care for
others can do it. The best men have
paid eloquent tribute to the good wives
and able housekeepers who relieved them
from minor cares, and if food and other
essentials of existence can do much to
help, when they are all right, it must not
be forgotten that they can do as much to
hinder, where they are all wrong.

SAVING SEED CoRN.-In gathering
corn, take such ears only as are finest
from the most prolific stalks. Never
take from stalk having but one ear, if
large and thrifty stalks can be found with
two or more good-sized ears. Generally
but one of them is fit for seed, and that
usually the second from the ground; but
if the lowest is the best, take that. Al
ways take the ears that are filled out to
the end, and that run beyond the husk,
if such can be found. When you come
to plant, before Smelling, break every ear,
and see if the pith of the cob is dried
up, for, if it is not, the corn is not ripe.

The Higher Aim in Farming.


The higher aim of every intelligent til
Ter of the soil, should be the improvement
of the productiveness of his land, until
it reaches the point where maximum
crops are produced at the least expense.
Wise husbandrv regards the farm simply
as Il machine for turning out crops. The
machine is the matterOf first importance.
This is always to be kept III good running
order, and its efficiency is to be increased
by all economical methods. The man who
farms upon this system will never saCri-
flee soil for great crop. His aim Is to
have every crop found it. He aims in
every working of the soil to increase its
depth and to add to it more elements of
fertility than he removes in the crops,
and to make the crops not only pay for
themselves, but to pay for the improve
ment of the acres upon which they are
grown. In carrying out this aim, so as
to realize these results, a man shows his
skill as a cultiyatOr. 1t is a compare
lively easy thing, for any one who has
money to improve the soil so that it shall
produce crops paying for the labor of
growing them and the interest on S2OOOr
$500 an acre. Stable manure, enough
well ploughed in, will do this. But it is
altogether another matter to make this
improvement pay for itself. Yet, it is a
possible thing to do this, and there are
farmers skillfulenough to accomplish this
result, and this we hold to be the true
aim in the cultivation of the soil. The
most iudiciOus improvements, those which !
finally pay the largest profits, requiresev-
eraI wears to bring in their full returns !
1t is a matter of great importance that !
our farming population should not only |
be settled, but that they should feel set
tied, and plan all their operations upon
the farm as if they expected to spend |
their days upon it.-Herald.
THE SECRET OF THEIR Success
Moody shut down on the publication of
his life by Hartford house as soon as he !
got home. While in Birmingham he was
by a photographer who offered |
him a considerable sum of money fer the |
privilege of taking his picture, which he
refused, with the remark that he would |
readily give 81, 500 to have all existing |
pictures of him destroyed. Strange as it
may seem to the average yankee, this man
puts himself last in all things. 1t is
simply because he and Mr.. Sankey have
enough of the primitive Christian, true
fire in them to do the work for
the MolN I'm .,t'o .;oo,''y

FAT FOR COOKING PURPOSES.

Every year the price of lard increases.
1t has now become so expensive that pco-
pie can hardly afford to use it, if they
have it to buy at groceries. The de
mand for it,for cooking inrestaurants has
increased very much in the past few years
and has caused the substitution of other
fats. In this and other cities quite bust
ness is done i'll putting up, what Is known
in the market, as cooking butter. Itcon-
tains very little butter, and that of very
poor quality. The bulk of it is the softer
sorts of fats, obtained from marrow, suct
and other wastes of the bones and car
cass. 1t is chiefly sold to hotels, restau-
rants and boarding-hOuses, and is used
for cooking potatoes, oysters and meats.
Economical housewives would do well
to reserve the fine leaf lard for making
pastry, and the inferior lard for making
biscuits. They can obtain for frying pO-
tatOes and other vegetables from frying
out the waste portions of hogs, and from
saving marrow and suet from beet. 1t
will be a little harder than pure lard,
but quite as good for the purposes for
which it is designed, To prevent its be-
coming rancid, it should be put up in
cans, small jars or wide-necked bottles.
These should be closed air tight, and kept
in a cool place.

pressure, and life Of expedients ha:
no end but penury.
Our recipe for succeeding in the
world, then, is this: Work much and
spend little. If this advice be follow,
ed success matSt come, unless, indeed,
some unwise adventure or some accl-
dent against which no human foresight
could provide. such rs sickness, con.
hagralion or other visitation of Provi-
dence, should arrest the progress on,
ward; but in the ordinary course OF
human affairs success will ever wait
upon economy which is the condition
by which prosperity must be earned.
Worldly success, however, though uni
versalIy coveted, can be only desirable
as it contributes to happiness, and it
will contribute to happiness very little
unless there be cultivated a lively be-
nevolencc toward every animated be-
ing. " Happiness" it has been finely
observed, ''is in proportion to the
number OF things we love and the
number OF things that love lis, ="
70 this sentiment we most cordially
subscribe, and we should wish to see
| it written on the tablet Of every heart
and producing its fruits Of charity.
The man, whatever be his fame, Of
fortune or intelligence, who can treat
lightly another's woe-who is not
bound to his fellowmen by the magic
tic of sympathy, deserves, aye, and
will obtain the contempt of human
kind. Upon h!m all the gifts Of for
tune are thrown away. Happiness he
has none his life is dream, mere
Iethargy, without a throb of human
emotion, and he will descend to the
grave "unwept, unhonored and un-
sung
Such fate is not to be envied, and
let those who are intent upon success,
remember success is nothing without
happiness. r.

DoN'T FRET. Take the world easy.
Don't fret about the comparatively
petty veXations Of life, in view of the
many real troubles around you and to
which you are liable at any time
The inevitabe--that which you can
not help-you cannot fret enough TO
undo tho you fret yourself to death
and as for what You can help, why
take hold and help. Think of the
loss of time and happiness, of the
positive discomfort and injury to
health, that arise from tretting over
trifes. The old farmer who bad to
tip oil and put on a load Of wood twice
on his way out Of the woods, and
found it tipped over by a bad place in
the road the third time, showed true
philosophy when he looked at the
wreck and saying, 'Waal, | guess l
wont fret about it, | shan't feel so
well If do" went to wh;stling mer-
rily, and to work putting matters to
rights. Be merry. There are sor-
rows that strike deep into the heart,
and merit and receive the sympathy
Of all, but the many vexatious troubles
OF everyday life may we'll be slighted.
God has placed Us here to be happy.
and provided ample means for our
happiness as long as we trust in Him,
and to go through the world fretting,
growing and finding tault, thereby
making ourselves and all around us
unhappy, is an injury to ourselves, IN
Justice to our friends, and base in
gratitude to God.
