been our purpose 10 buy such goods our numerous

Our credullty, however, has oten been imposed upon

aud he can benefit himself and others by
simply stating the item of intelligence he
wishes to transmit on o slip of paper,
before the next meeting, and have it in

when he enters the grange. OF course the
lady members are coAvenienced in the same
manner The matter of finding good girl
to do housework is sometimes the subject Of
great anxiety and enquiry, and could be
successfully advertised in this manner. The
lecturer could be instructed to enclose in a
large envelope the contents Of his box, after
reading it, and send by mail to the lecturer
of neighbOriug grange, in exchange for his
of the same character, and so extend the
advertisements over more territory.

stock and its Care.

The farmer who is Indifferent as to the
kind and condition of stock he has about
him, will generally show his indifference
about his entire farm and household
affairs. IF he keep such stock as will
barely fill the place of stock in numbers,
he leeds them without any profit, works
or rides them with no comfort, and
realizes that he is rather annoyed than
benfted by owning them. His cows
are the scrub stock, made poorer by the
lack Of attention, and feed, and when
one dies be feels that the hide is worth
more to him than the COW was when iv-
ing; that he would make money by kill
ing off the balance and selling their
hides. His hogs are the regular razor
backs with heads Weighing is pounds,
and their bodies III, turned out to prac-
tios ''roOt hog or die. His sheep, if he
has amy, are left out, never cared for, ex-
cept st shearing time, and then he gets
less than pound of fleece from his four
poor, degenerated descendants Of the
pioneer scrub sheep of this continent.
His horses are Of no particular breed,
and are equally suited to any purpose,
and especially adapted to none numbers
Of them are hip-shOt, going in and out Of
his bad gates and stable doors, while
many an eye has been knocked out by
his boys throwing rocks and sticks, try

to beat them for throwing down the

Old FOgJ Farmers.

Is not a farmer an old fOgy who will
continue to breed the cOmmonscrub hogs,
of the country, when there is undOubted
testimony from everyone who has tried
the improved breeds, such as the Berk-
shire, Poland China, ETC., that there is a
saving of at least 25 to so per cent. in
feed, in producing a certain number of
pounds of pork, by keepingthe improved
breeds? Is it not everywhere admit
ted that some animals will fatten more
readily than others, thatsome breeds will
fatten more easily than Others, on less
food ? That some breeds of cattle are en-
inent for their butter producing quail
ties, and others for their beef producing
properties That some breeds of sheep
are noted for wool, and others for the
quantity and high quality of mutton
they produce? Thatsome horses are noted
for their speed as trOtters, and Others for
their speed as runners? Is it strange,
then, that hogs should be subject to the
same law of improvement? That skill
and care and painstaking selection ofpar-
ticular animals, should finally give us
breeds that keep easily, fatten easily, ma
ture early, and have all the desirable
points required in swine And yet there
are farmers who think the hazel-splitting,
razor-backed, alligator hog just as good
as any. They must believe the world
stands still; that there is no change, no
improvement in anything. Such farmers
we class old fogies.-CoEman'8 RUral

Ingratitude and indifference sometimes

During bis absence, and throughout the

surprise, some unexpected pleasure to
make home more attractive than ever.
He enters, seemingly sees no more Ofwhat
has been done to please him than If he
were a blind man, and has nothing more
to say about it than if he were dumb.
Many loving wife has borne in her
heart an abiding sorrow, day after day,
from causes like this, until, in process Of
time, the fire and enthusiasm of her orig
inal nature have burned out, and mutual
indifference spreads its pail over the
household.
Many women have little idea Of how
greatly they shock the tastes and really
endanger the affections Of their husbands
by their unseemly domestic apparel.
There is not man of sense and refined
feeling anywhere who would not prefer
some simple and chaste adOrnment for his
wife in the morning to any extreme of
splendor at the evening ball. Let wo-
man by all means dress brilliantly on
those occasions that render it proper we
have no desire to abridge her privileges
nor battle her instincts in this particular;
but we claim that it is important for her,
if she value her household serenity, that
she should give equal heed to her GUS
tomary domestic attire. The female who
goes about the house untidily dressed has
no right to the title of woman. She is
without those marks and indications by
which she can be classified.

UNITY OF LANGUAGE IN GERMAHY.
Among the earliest measures with
which the Prussian Diet has been busted
is bill dealing with the delicate ques-
ton the language Of administration, I"
in TIE Pussian dominions. It must be
remembered that ~ per cent. of the pop
ulafon Of Prussia speak habitually Ian
gudges differing in their essential charac-
teri from German, not merely German
didects. There are, first Of all, $780,
OOb who talk Polish in Posen and the
ndghboring provinces; LAG, 900 Lithua-
mans speaking the old Lettish; 145, 900
Dimes, chiefly in the Elbe Duchies So
0bO Czechs, and some 10000 other less
linguistic dissidents. These particular
its are, of course, looked on with disfa-
vor by the new school Of policy which
tises German unity to the height Of a
dominant principle in modern civiIiza-
ton. The bill, therefore, introduced in
the Landtag proposes to make German
henceforward the exclusive language Of
administrative business and Judicial pro-
eeedings in every part Of the Prussian
kingdom, irrespective of local circum-
stances.

Of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the iudiciOus choice Of a remedy. The
amount Of testimony in favor Of Dr. sehsnck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for Consumption far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the pretensOns Of
any other medicine. See DR.. schenck's Almanac
containing the certificates OF many persons Of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incurable by phys-
clans of acknowledged ability. schenek's Pulmonie
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences viii
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which Dr.. sehenek
provides for the purpose These additional remedies
are sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use Of these medicines, according to
directions, Dr. schenek certies that most any case
Of Consumption may be cured.
