A True Friend.-Many years ago, Sin
Henry Wyatt, an English nobleman,
was imprisoned for a fancied offence.
He was not only deprived of his Ii
berty, but scantily fed-in fact, hall
starved. In this straight what do you
think came TO his relief Ii was his
pet cat. In some way she found out
where she was (; perhaps she had fol-
lowed one of the family who came to
see him. However that may be, she
used to climb up the outside and cOme
down the chimney into bis room every
day. bringing partridge or such game
as she had caught. His jallor was ca
silly persuaded To have pussy's presents
cooked for his daily dinner. But a
glad day came when he was released
and returned to his home. In his hap
piness he did not forget his dumb friend.
She was always a great pet, and his
portrait was taken with her sitting by
his side.

CoRN-MEAL FOR STuCK.-We are not
prepared 10 adopt Mr.. Linus w. Miller's
exclusive meal diet for dairy cows, but
there can be no doubt that in the regions
where the drouth has cut of the crops
of fall feed, corn-lneal will be found a
valuable auxiliary in carrying stock
through. Hay is selling in many places
at twenty dollars ton from the field,
which indicates thirty or more as the
winter and spring price. Meanwhile
corn is quoted at fifty to fifty-five cents
in the city, and is delivered in bulk al
the sea-ports for about sixty cents a
bu>hel. This is but a little over twenty
dollars ton, aud is much more profit
able for feeding than hay. Ii is very
largely used when hay is under twenty
dollars a ton, and the use should be in
creased as the price of hay rises. The
reports of the corn crop III the prairie
states are highly favorable, and prices
are likely to rule low. With cheap
corn there is no need of paying high
prices for hay. Straw, corn-fodder,
swale hay, may all be used TO advant-
age in preparing cut feed with Indian
meal.

To PREVENT GRAY HAIR.-To check
premature grayness, the head should be
well brushed morning and night, with
brush hard enough to irritate the skin
somewhat. The bristles should be far
enough apart 10 brush through the hair,
as il were, rather than over ir. Oil,
rather than pomade, should be used.
Common sweet oil, scented with berga-
mot, can be recommended.

ANIMALS LENGTH OF LIFE.-The
average age of sheep does not much ex-
ceed ten years; to that period they will
usually live, breed, and thrive tolera-
bly, well. But there are instances of a
much more prorracted age. Particular
sheep are stated TO live nearly twenty
years-those which the mountain shep-
nerds call guide sheep" old wethers
which are kept on purpose TO direct the
bleating flocks In the unfrequented
wilds.
Cows have an average age Of about
fifteen years. Rings on the horns tell
the number of their days. At four
years old ring is formed at their roots
aud every succeeding year another is
added.
Thus, by allowing three years before
their appearance, and counting the
number of rings, the age Of the animal
is known. Ii is well for certain menu
bers of the human race losing their
bloom, who are somewhat sensitive up
on the question of age, that there are
no definite appearances added with an
nual precision to their CHEEKS, revealing
10 the eye what they keep from the
ear.
Pigs have been known to live through
thirty years, but the average term Is
much less.-G0od Health.

AeRlCULfURLL.

STUDY YoUR SofL.-Every one has no
doubt observed the very diverse char
acter and frequent changes that occur
every few rods in the nature of the soil.
With almost every variation In the atti-
tude of surface we ind change In the
texture and the constituent elements Of
the soil. These differences may be seen
in the character of the soil on nearly
every farm, and indeed. of almost every
field of the country, except perhaps,
some Of the level prarie farms Of the
West. Both reason and experience
teach us that all soils are not adapted
alike to all crops. Certain crops will
succeed better on particular kind Of
soil, while other crops will do better on
different kind of soil. In planning
for a crop it is therefore important that
these different adaptations should be
studied aud kept In view. But is this
usually done? do not the most of far
mers ignore this isdifference and act As if
all soils were alike, or all crops made pre-
cisely the same demands upon the soil
But as these diversities In both crops
aud soil exist, successful farming de-
pends largely on An intelligent adapta-
ton of these different conditions. The
farmer should know his soil both as to
its constituent elements and to its pro-
ductive capacity, but especially in re-
gard TO this last. 1t is not to be sup
posed that every farmer can be al
agricultural chemist. but every one can,
snd should be q close observer Of all
phenomena of nature in connection
with the production OF the crops OIL his
farm. He may SO observe and note the
results of each seasons operations that
in few years at most. he can deter
mine the productive capacity Of each
field of his farm under certain condi
tons of temperature and moisture.
This should be the constant study OF
the tiller of the soil 10 learn the capaci-
Ties OF his soil so that he may avoid the
expenditure of seed and labor in trying
10 cultivate crop on soil to which IL
is not adapted, which can only result in
loss, while an intelligent adaptation Of
soil aud crops suited to each other,
would produce good profit.
