SHARP PRACTICAL pathetic story
is told by one of the New York papers
of little ragged boy who was begging
in the cabin of an East river ferry boat
the other day, when a deck hand was
about to lift him out by the ear But
richly-dressed and noble-hearted lady
interfered and reproved the unfeeliDg
man. He released the boy reluctantly,
protesting that he had orders to keep
such out of the cabin. Then, with q
heart aglow with generous feeling, the
stately lady gave the little wanderer a
dollar, and said she felt sure that every
one in the cabin would be glad to rebuke
the brutality which they had all wit
messed, in the same way. So the boy
passed around his ragged cap, and got
it well filled with the offerings of gen.
erous natures. And the observant re-
porter followed the poor boy and the
rich lady ashore, and as they turned
the first corner be heard the lady say ::
Well, Dickey, we done pretty good
that trip; now let's try the other line :"

20 A farmer should always keep
IN mind the fact, that his own time is
worth far more than that of any men
he can hire to work for him. He must
be very careful that his men do not
waste their time or strength; but he
should be still more economical of his
own mental and physical energy. |
find no difficulty in getting men who
can chop wood by the cord, or pile ma
nure, or thrash, or turn tanning mill,
or pump water, or throw sheaves to a
thrashing machine, or cut bands or
drive teams; but how rare it is to find
a man, who can take care of the team,
or feed sheep, or bed them properly, or
milk cows and feed and water them
regularly and judiciously. have never
yet found man who could feed pigs
properly-never one who could cook
the food and feed it without waste. If
you do not keep constant watch, the
food will sometimes go into the troughs
scaldlng hot, or you will wake up some
morning to find the warm food intended
for the pigs breakfast frozen solid. If
you are very fond of chopping, you may
go to the woods an hour or two occa-
sionally, by way of recreation, but you
will find your WORK in the barns, stables
and yards, or in the house, doing that
which you cannot hire others to do for
you. | do not think l ever saw nv
successful German neighbor, to whom l
have several times alluded, blowing
himself. But when the boys are plow-
ing, he is usually not far off, fixing up
the fence around the lot, getting out a
stone, or hanging a gate, and putting
everything in order. He is always busy
doing something, but it is something
that will allow him to direct all the
operations of the farm while he is doing
it.

CONCERNING Coon RoADs.-Colonel
Waring, travelling in Germany, thus
describes in the American Agricul-
turist " the roads which he finds there
There is one point, especially observa-
BILE throughout the "effete monarchies
of Europe" that cannot fail to strike
every travelling American with wonder.
| refer to the character and condition of
the roads Even in this dry, gravelly
soil, naturally well suited for making
good roads of our own type, and where
there is hardly one wealthy man to
twenty populous villages, every road
that is more than a mere wood-path is
graded and McAdamized, and is kept
in serviceable condition by the occasion
al addition of broken stone All roads
grade higher, such as those leading to
the market towns, to the railroad station
or to the river villages, are even better
than these, while the main post-roads,
which take the chief travel, are in
every point and in every particular as
good as the undetermined "driven of
Central Park. Roads of the last two
classes are almost invariably bordered
on both sides with some small growing
tree, giving shade to the road without
too much taxing the soil or shading the
land. There are several reasons WHY
roads are better here than with US i; the
most important being that these people
have learned that a narrow road is as
good as wide one,-even the high
roads being barely wide enough for two
vehicles to pass easily. OF course
roads so made cost in the first construc-
ton a very considerable amount of
labor, but after all, if they are we'll
watched, the cost of their maintenance
is very trifing indeed One need only
see the antiquated, ram-shackle old
wagons, which, even when new, would
hardly last a year on our roads, and
which are evidently often older than
the men who drive them, and see the
enormous loads that are drawn by
apparently inefficient teams, to realize
that the money invested in making first
rate roads brings an enormous annual
return in the economy of teams and
the saving of wear and tear.

An Improved Cow-Catcher.

Among all the curiositics exhibited in
the mechanical department ut the Cen
tenninl, one thing that we have been look
ing for we do not hear of, AMI that is an
Improved Cow Catcher. There are cow
catchers in use at the present time. and
they have been in use n great while; but
they do not work with precision or per-
fectly. Sometimes they catch the cow.
and sometimes on the other hand, the
COW, so TO speak, catches the train, and
capsizcs the cars.
What is wanted is q cow-dltoher that
will invariably pick the cow up, without
jeopardy to the train. A further advan-
tage would be added If. by some ingenious
contrivance, after being taken up, she
could be Immediately transferred to the
inside of the baggage car. If she was un-

As horses are about rs apt as COWS to be

for horse meat might he advautageously

II such an Improved Cow Cat cher should
be invented soon, we hope to see 1t intro

loose cattle aud horses abound, two cows
having been recently killed there ia one
day. Meanwhile, let passengers get their
lives insured.

be looking around for wider field.
CHLDs, A. NJ, recognized this truth when
he left the sale Of peanuts, with the iuven-
tion OF carbolic salve for corus, and went
into journalism and poetry. He recog-
nizes it again when he contemplates aban-
