FARMERS, DON'T GO IN DEBT.

The greatest agent TO produce poverty
among farmers or any other class is
debt. Many farmers will get deed to
small piece of land, enough to support
themselves and families, and lay by
small annual income. But that is not
sufficient. They run in debt for more
land, and become slaves to debt. They
pay an interest on borrowed money,
which will soon consume the little prop
erty they possess. They often pay
higher than ten per cent. Such pro-
ceedings engender spirit of discomfort,
and they lose faith in farming and tryto
sell their farms in order to get to town
and enter into other business In nine
cases out of ten, every farmer who is
doing well, that goes to town, fails out
right, Having no faith in farming, or
having no breadth of understanding,
they buy the poorest tools and meanest
stock, and drive poor teams before poorer
wagons and agricultural machinery. In
the fall and winter they feed poorly,
just feeding enough to get their live
stock through the winter into spring.
Then it takes all summer to put on the
flesh that was lost in the winter by poor
shelter and bad food. They never put
out fruit trees or shade trees on their
FARMS They always sell their best lambs
and cattle to the drovers and keep the
poorest at home. They send their chill
dren to school but little, as too much
learning is dangerous thing. They do
not take agricultural papers or believe
in book farming. They never give their
children a cent of spending money, as
it makes them spendthrifts. In short,
they are the most miserable people in
the world, and would not keep money
if they had it. Such farmers are poor,
and will remain so to the end of their
days, and most of their days, and most
of their sons will follow the path of
their sires

A PLEA FOR SHEEP.

Lately, visiting some of the sheep
farms of Lincolnshire, ] noticed that
while the Midland farmer talked to his
horse, and even petted his oxen, he
treated his sheep as an animal peculiarly
devoid of intelligence. Now, 1 noticed
among my agricultural friends this gen.
eral disregard for the intelligence or
feeling of sheep, though to me there is
as much sad, pitiful intelligence in the
eye of a sheep as there is in the
patient, melancholy" face of COW.
While the farmer has brought sheep to
the perfection of size and shape and
profit, that sort of mutual regard which
animated sheep, shepherds and shep-
herdesses in the olden days seems TO have
died out. St. John says: ITO him the
porter openeth; and the sheep hear his
voice; and he calleth his own sheep by
name, and Ieadeth them out. And
when he putteth forth his own sheep he
goeth before them, and the sheep follow
ullil. loE tuey huO" HE NOiCt. VII
these words DIR. Hammond observes
that the shepherds of Judea knew every
sheep separately, and that shepherds
of that country had distinct name for
every sheep, which each sheep knew
and answered by obediently coming or
following to that CALL" Moreover, they
train up the ram to collect the flock,
far better device, than that of a sheep
dog. Homer indorses this in his simile
of Ulysses drawing up his men to ram
ordering the flock. On the authority of
Phile Judeus, philosophic Jew, born
and bred in Egypt, in his first chapter
concerning the creation says: ''Wooly
lambs laden with thick fieeces in spring
season; being ordered by their shepherd,
stand without moving, and silently
STOPPING little, put themselves into his
hand TO have their wool shorn; being
accustomed, as cities are, TO put their
yearly tribute TO man, their king by
nature

wHEAT-FARMERS SHOULD GROW
THE BEST VARIETIES,

What is wanted by the farmer who
depsnds on his farm for bis living and
who has no time or money to inves. in
exr riments is a sort of wheat that has
been tried in this climate and soil, and
is found to be adapted to them. Such
wheat is the Seneca, or Clawson, as it
il a 20 called, a white wheat which orig
mated with q farmer named Clawson,
of Seneca county, n. Y, seven years
ago. In its early days it was named by
a Pennsylvania scotsman, Early May
Red Chaff White" wheat, for the aboli-
ton of which lengthy names thanks are
due to somebody. The same wheat has
also been called Eureka, but public
favor seems to be concentrated on
''Senece" as the future name for it.
The Seneca is a white wheat, with
smooth head, red chaff, and long straw;
thrifty grower and thoroughly hardy.
Il came through the trying time of last
winter, both in Canada and the United
States, In better condition than any
variety that we know of. 1t is from ten
days to a fortnight earlier than varieties
now in use. The yield is larger than
that Of the common kinds, many instan-
ces being recorded where, 10 the same
field and under the same treatment, the
Seneca has yielded thirty-five bushels
against the twenty bushels of the Diehl,
Fultz, Treadwell, or Mediterranean.
For those of our farmers who want a
reliable wheat-one that it is safe to tie
to-the Seneca is the thing.
The Tappahannock wheat is a white,
beardless variety, originatingin Virginia,
and sent out by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture a few years
since. We know of but one instance of
it having been tried In Canada; in that
case it proved very successful, having
stood last winter well, and having
ripened very much earlier than neigh
boring sorts. In earliness, it is claimed
by growers In Ohio, New York. Vermont,
and Michigan, to be two to three weeks,
ahead of Diehl and other common sorts.
The straw is short and stiff, rendering
It not liable to lodge. The head is heavy
and the grain is large, and gives supe-
rior yield of -four.
The Silver-chaf is another new wheat
well thought of across the line, but not
yet much know in Canada 1t isa white
wheat, with white chaff and medium
straw; it has long, smooth head, with
large grains. A popularity about it is
that Its flower extends about three-quar-
ters of an inch from the head when in
bloom. This gives it a silvery look,
from which it derives its name. The
Silver chaff originated in New York
State. 1t is claimed to be perfectly
hardy, having been tried alongside of
other varieties, and to have come out of
the winter as well as any of them.
There is every probability, from all
the information that we can CLEAN, that
both the Tappahannock and the Silver
chaff will prove valuable acquisitions.
We recommend those farmers who are
disposed to experiment to try these
varieties. Canada Farmer.

HOG CHOLERA.

w. +. Richardson, of the East st.
Louis Packing Company, writes to the
st. Louis Globe Democrat: have read
many newspapers articles on hog chOl
era Thus far there seems to be COM
plete ignorance as to the source Of the
disease or its nature. Ithas spread over
a much larger territory this year than
usual, and has been more fatal in its
effects. 1t RACES in sections of the
country into which stock hogs were i'm
ported from Missouri and Kansas, where
the corn crop had been cut off. In these
new localities there was plenty of rich
corn for fattening. Now, find that in
the same portions of Kansas and Mis-
souri, where farmers shipped out their
hogs last year, and had to import hogs
from other sections of the country to
make good the deficit, the hog cholera is
most prevalent.
| was sent on commission some years
ago, to examine into and, if possible,
ascertain the causes of what is called
the Texas cattle disease. Our investi-
cations led to the conclusion that mov-
ing Texas cattle from their native pas
tunes and climate caused fever which
we called acclimating fever, but no more
by bringing Texas cattle to the North
than by sending Northern cattle to the
South
| am convinced it will be found by
investigation that the cause of the hog
cholera can be traced to the changing of
hogs from one section of the country to
another
II our farmers and hog shippers will
examine into the matter, am satisfied
the real cause of the disease can be
found, precedent TO the application of
remedies that will in the future prevent
its appearance, or at any rate largely
reduce IFS extent. In furtherance of
this object, invite parties interested to
communicate with me on this subject.
CoLoRs IN CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY.
Put a good amount of color or ceiling,
nat, however, making it so dark as to
bring it too close to the eye. The car
pets must be either lighter or darker
the artists rule to make either back
ground or foreground run into the figure
If this is not done in painting, woman
in white satin, for instance. against ii
dark floor and dark walls, will look like
a cut-out figure stuck on, and the same
sort of results would occur in rooms
AS in ordinary life, dresses are dark in
color, where light wall tone has been
recommended, the carpet will have to be
darker than the walls. Not too vivid in
color, however, and, of course, no
fearful things. Furniture and hangings
should not be too much alike in color;
have, say, the carpet one tone, the COW
erings of furniture another, and the
curtains and other hangings a third.
Have summer and winter hangings aud
furniture coverings; those for the former
light and cheerful, the others with more
warmth, and suggestive of comfort and
home life. A table cloth, occasionally
chair, or a rug, may supply a bit of
effective contrast with prevailing haes
of hangings, etc., and spot of vivid
color in vase or some small hanging
will complete the formal decoration of
the room.-Brit. Arch. Asso. Paper.
