the loudest sounds, sufficient to fill church,

waltz or march, can be played on them, as
well as on piano. So great is the popularity
of these organs that their sales are Constantly

FARM AND GARDEN.
Agriculture the Mother Of all Profession.

Agriculture the Mother OF all Professions.
As the earth is the mother of all
mankind, so agriculture is the mother
of all other professions, and this is the
reason why all other professions seek
and find succ6r from their mother. 1t
is natural for a child, when it wants
bread. to ask its mother for it. She is
considered by all her children rich in
this worlds goods. She has stores laid
up for many years, and she has good
farm, and in their times of need it is
natural for her children to expect as.
sistance from her. aOn the other
hand, the unnatural urchins never
once spend thought about her ne.
cessities, her hard labors, or of i'm.
proving her condition. She is rich,
they say, she has stores of bread and
meat, and she has Il good farm. She
requires no aid from us, and thus it
goes, our good old mother has nothing
to do but toll and sweat at her drudg.
cry, provide bread and meat for all of
her children and pay the bills for all
manner of expenditures.
Now these children do very wrong.
They should assist the old lady in
every possible way. They should en-
courage her work people, and build
good school houses for them and edu-
cate them and they should give them
Christmas and New Years presents,
and curious trinkets in the form of
premiums, medals, and all sort of
things. This would stimulate them to
serve the old lady more faithfully,
energetically and efficiently, and would
render her days more cheerfully and
her nights more comfortable. Let all
the world think of this. Only suppose
the old lady should die, what would
become Of all your professional men,
merchants, mechanics, all! Where
would the bread, meat and clothing
come from!

Be Neat About the Farm.

Of all things in the world, be neat
about the farm. If you have a thrifty
wife, take pattern by her management
indoors. Swept and busted all her
rooms, and made attractive with many
tasteful ornaments, your farm may
be made as pleasing as the house. The
yard and wood pile may be kept as
slightly us the shining cook-stove,
where all sticks finally 60. The fences
may be one of the prettiest parts of
the landscape, if they are only kept
painted or whitewashed. The stone
walls do continually tumble, or get
knocked down, we admit, but it don't
take long to pick up two or three of
the fallen rocks and put them in their
place, when you are passing by. The
barn may be made the sweetest place
around, if care is taken to keep the
cattle's stalls clearly, as they should
be for every living creature. The
smell of packed hay, and the breath of
the COWS, can never be equalled by the
chemist. In the harness.room, there
is still more need of order and neat
ness. Harnesses, kept nice and hand.
some wear three times as long, when
tho dust is brushed off, and they are
all well oiled from time to time. To
give an impression of yeur thriftiness
to others is well, but it is not the i'm.
portant point. TO know your belong.
ings are in good condition. and that
your farm is model for others, is to
make your heart light and contented,
besides giving you sense of independ.
ence and dignity, we'll worth the toll
of gaining it. ..-

Treatment of Shying Horses.

Shying generally arises from timidi-
ty, but sometimes it is united with
cunning, and induces the animal to as

purpose of finding All excuse for turn.

is, doubtless, the presence of some OBJ

accustomed, and if he has defective
eyes, which render him shortsighted.
it will be difficult to convince him of
the innocent nature Of the novel Oh

in shying horses, some being dreadful.
~ alarmed by one kind of object,
which to others is not at all formida-
BILE. The best plan of treatment,
which can be adopted, is to take as
little notice as possible of the shying,
and to be specially careful not to show
any fear of it's recurrence when the
''alarming" object appears in the dis.
lance. When the horse begins to show
alarm, but not till then. the driver
should speak encouragingly to him,
and if necessary with severe tone,
which may even be supported by the
use OF the whip, if his onward progress
cannot be otherwise maintained. The
principle, which should be carried out
is to adopt such measures as will get
the horse to pass the object at which
he SHES, somehow or other, and this
should be- effected with as little VIC
lence as possible, always commanding
in an encouraging tone as soon as the
purpose is gained. Nothing has SO
great tendency to keep up the habit
as the plan, so common among ignorant
grooms of chastising the shyer after
he has passed the object of his alarm.

up to it, and examine it with his muz-

The Chicago Ledger is said to have
spent $4,000 in advertising the past
two years, and by the looks Of the news
papers throughout the United States,
we should say it would take as much to
so around this year. And to cap the
climax the proprietors have announ.
ced their paper at l.OOa year. How
it is done is a mystery, unless they
have more than''a barrel of lnoney''to
give away. We believe, however, it
is the theory of the publishers that
all they ask of the reader is to pay for
the white paper and postage for their
labor, when the paper reaches 100000
or more circulation, their advertising
will pay the profit. While they are
building up the paper they do not so.

CUssEs.

We are creditably informed that
there is quite a strife among a number
of public-spirited Californians for the
burdensome duty of representing the
poor, heathenish sage-brushers in the
National Democratic Convention at
st. Louis. These disinterestei and
generous individuals are doubtless
alive to the necessity of having the
dependency Of California represented
in a creditable manner, and they are
therefore willing to the trouble
and expense Of a journey to Missoufi's
metropolis for that purpose. As partly
composing this patriotic and SELF
sacrificing band, we have heard men,
toned the names of Gen. Thos. H.
Williams, Col. Harry l.. Thornton,
Tom Sunderland and Hank Mitchell,
neither one of whom is any more a
resident of Nevada than are Judge
Pitzer, A. M. Hillhouse or Col. Ellis
residents and citizens of the State Of
California, and their assurance in at
tempting to foist themselves upon the
Democracy of this State as its rep
r~esentatives to the National Conven-
ton is rs outrageous as would be the
candidature of the above-named gen.
tlemen for delegates to represent our
neighboring State in the same body.
1t has become such a common thing
for the people of Nevada to be
used for political purposes by aspiring
California politicians, that they have
come to look upon it as a matter of
course, and to accept the situation as
in with the higher princi-
pies of the unwritten law and in exact
accordance with the eternal fitness of
things. Latterly, however, a feeling
has commenced to find expression to-
the effectthat we are getting old enough
and have had sufficient experience to
fill u own offices, represent ourselves
in Congress and attend to our own po-
litical matters generally; and we i'm
agine that we "a distinguish in the
near future the tail end OF California
rule in Nevada. A Democratic con
vention is as good a place as any to
commence the work of reform in this
respect, and as there appears to be a
very general feeling among the mem
bers OF party, at least in this por-
ton o fthe State, to excuse from further
duty all foreign political volunteers,
we predict that the claims of any other
than bona Jdde residents Of the State for
delegateships will be received with
such a howl Of derision as will discour-
age in the future all attempts Of Cali
fornia carpet-baggers to obtain recog-
milton in the conventions Of either of
the political parties in our " Battle born
