Of poor quality; pick, wash and soak
them over night in plenty of cold water;
scald them the next day with teaspoon

they have been long stored. Drain off

Homely Maxims fer Hard Times.

Take care Of the pennies. Look we'll to
your spending. No matter what comes
in, if more goes out you will always be
poor. The art is not in making money,
but in keeping it. Little expenses, like
mice in q barn, when they are many, make
a great waste. Hair by hair heads get
bald straw by straw the thach goes of
the cottage, and drop by drop, the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel is soon
empty, if the tap leaks but drop min
ute. When you mean to save, begin
with your mouth; many thieves pass
down the red lane. The ale jug is great
waste. In all other things keep within
compass. Never stretch your legs fur
Their than your blanket will reach, or
you will soon be cold. In clothes choose
suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
fineries. To be warm is the main thing,
never mind the looks. A fool may make.
money, but it needs wise man to spend
it. Remember, it is carrier to build two
chimneys than to keep one going. Ifyou
give all to back and board, there is moth
ing left for the savings bank. Fare hard
and work hard when you are young, and
you will have chance to rest when you
are old. tE

MILLET FOR CHICKEN FEED.-Millet
stands third in the table of Professors
Wolf and Knop containing 14.5 of albu-
menoid. The average of grasses is set
down at 9.5. These figures prove the
value of millet and the importance of its
cultivation. Objection IS urged against
it as food for horses on the ground that
it produces diabetes, but no objection has
been made to mlllet as a food for cattle;
on the contrary, it is classed among the
best of feeds for them. Millet seed is
recommended as reproducing food for
fowls. A mixture of common millet and
Hungarian will be found advantageous
in the poultry yard. The small size of
millet seed renders it fit for chickens of
any age.

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from the Rev. E. s. Best,
Pastor of the NJ. Z. Church, Natick, Mass, will
be read with interest by many physicians; also
those suffering from the same disease afflicted
the son of the Rev. E. S. Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about
the curative power of VEGETINE.

Preiit in Henebred Stock.

We have frequently directed attention
to the danger of the prevailing practice
among enterprising farmers and graziers
of buying the stock they handle,
instead of breeding upon the farm. It is
agreed on all hands that calf, pig,
lamb, or coltof good form and breeding
will, properly managed, invariably yield
a moderate profit to the farmer who rears
it. But it is a slow business, we prefer
to buy stock that we can turn in few
months or a year. Instead of rearing
five, ten or twenty we'll bred steer calves
and keeping them on the farm for thirty
months, we fancy that it will pay better
to purchase two or three times the num-
Der, though scrubs, or even Texans, of
dealers who have "bunched" them to our
hand. In few months we may double
our money-the next lot, and perhaps
the next, may lose as much or more. But
we 60 on to "get even." Again we make
and again we bet on the future market
only to suffer another loss. And so the
game goes on, until the dealer is involv-
ed in hopeless bankruptcy.
With swine the venture is still greater
because prices are less regular. and be.
cause as the sad experience of the last
few years has demonstrated, the danger
of hog cholera in these "bunched up"
lots, that we have gathered from all parts
Of the country, is inca:culably greater
than handling hogs of our own breeding.
Indeed, in home bred, moderate size,
properly managed, there is very little
danger of this disease.
And also, in England, it has been
found in regard to epizootic disease,
among cattle; the great danger comes
from this trading and buying and selling
and mixing stocks, and therefore, as well
as because, under the present circum-
stances, it is the most profitable practice,
the British papers are advising the farm
ers to rear more homebred stock. Here,
although we are not to expect large prof
its from such a practice, we are assured
that we shall not make losing business
of it, and may reasonably calculate on
fair compensation for our crops and labor.
this is always the safest and most salts

clining markets in all products, it is

Decreasing Agriculture.

Massachusetts, as an agricultural State
is gradually losing in the competition
with more favorable localities. The
Springfield Republican tells of the sale of
. farm of one hundred acres near that
town with fair buildings and some tim
Der land, for only 81, 200; also of two
hundred acre farm, with . good house
and two barns, 3Ox40 feet. for $4,000. It
states that not many years ago the latter
farm was bought for nearly twice that
sum. Population and values, it adds,
are steadily declining in the purely
agricultural sections. The people are
moving away, or if they stay, they seek
other more remunerative occupations
tnan agriculture.

Iowa has been tickled nearly to death
to think that an ear of Iowa corn has
been carried back to Brazil by Dom Ped
70, because the Empress, pretending to
be amazed and delighted with the re-
markable size and appearance of Iowa
corn, begged an ear at one of the stations
on the Burlington and Missouri River
Railway while passing through the State.
1t has since transpired that the Imperial
party were learning the American game
of poker, and only wanted the corn for
checks. Why should the spirit of mortal
be proud. anyhow 7-Bwlington Ha,ck-

Things have changed since we were
young. Paul BoyDton, the great Ameri-

his skill in the water before crowned
heads and titled dignitaries, and is greet
ed with applause and presents. We
used to sneak down to the river and 20
in with as much solicitude as dozen
boys could find, and one boy perched on
top of the lumber pile to watch for the
policeman. And then, eleven times out
of ten, if we wern't chased out of the
water by a policeman and a rattan cane,
we were winnowed with peach switch
when we got home, on the slight and
merely circumstantial evidence of having
our shirt on wrong side out. What is
the world coming to, anyhow ?-Er.

An item in the papers states the fact
that the bank of England clips every
light sovereign it receives, and that one
machine weighs 5000 an hour. It does
not state the interesting fact that the
machine is an automaton, the sovereigns
being put in hopper like grist at a
mill The light ones drop ON one side,
the full weight ones drop on the other,
and the machine never makes mistake.
1t is very simple. The full weight SOW
ereign bears down a balance SO as to drop
the coin on one side-the light weight
fails to bear it down, and it falls on the
other side. In 1875 the bank weighed
s22, 100000 worth of coin, ard rejected
$40, 900.
