THE FAMILY VISITOR.
PROSPECTUS.

With the view to furnish paper devoted entire
lv to Literary and Miscellaneous Reading, we
have determined to publish the FAMILY VISITOR,
which. as the title indicates, is designed for the
family circle, and for the general reader, who may
take no interest in the local and political news of
the day. To meet this requirement, alh matter OF
this class will be excluded from the columns OF
the FAMILY VISITOR, as well also, as all adver-
tisements Of purely local character. 1t is our
purpose, by devoting the columns of the FAMILY
VISITOR to literature and general subjects to rem
der it publication acceptable alike to all classes
of readers and welcome, entertaining and in
structive Home Companion in every family
throughout the land. .,

When Andrew jackson was lad at school,
he was not disposed to study, but was full OF
mischief. His teacher became disheartened
and went one day, during the noon recess, to
consult Andrews mother respecting her future
plans. The teacher found Mrs. jackson at
the wash-tub. After the usual salutations
were passed, the teacher made known the OBJ
iect Of his visit He began by relating An
drew's idle habits and aversion to books and
love of play aud mischief, and concluded by
advising Mrs. jackson to bind her son out
to tanner in the neighborhood, to learn the
business of tanning leather. Mrs. jackson,
who had heard the teacher patiently, but
without stopping her washing, now raised up,
and in her broad Irish accent said, "Oh man,

was right. He did make man

TEACHING A LANDLORD.

Not long since two York men visited
Kansas. They stopped at hotel one fore
noon, and after dinner one them walked down
to barber's shop to get shaved. The shop
was shut, the barber having gone of to take
his after dinner.nap. Then the York man
walked back to his landlord and said:
"With your magnificent country, which is
the garden of the world, you ought to be the
most prosperous people on earth. That you
are not is due to the fact that you don't at
tend to business. You do not look out for
coppers. Here's your barber shut up and
gone when he might have earned ten cents by
shaving me. Now he don't getit, for I'm 60:
ing to shave myself, and save my ten cents. l
have a razor in my valise, and if you will
show me to mirror I will shave myself"
The landlord said the barber was shift
less cuss, who like most Western men, couldn't
compare with Pennsylvania for attention to
business, and patience in scooping in the
dimes; but he hoped they would all improve
in time, and then he showed our friend into a
room where he found a good-sized mirror, and
shaved himself Soon after he joined his
companion and congratulated himself on the
success he had in saving ten cents, and teach

pair paid their bills and went to the depot to
take the train. On their way the man who
hadn't shaved said:
"Pretty reasonable house, that; only one
dollar for dinner and SUPPER"
"Only dollar~ said the other, "why I
paid dollar and a half" and little fur
ther explanation showed that he had been
charged fifty per cent more than his compan.
ion. So back he went, and demanded of the
landlord an explanation, and got it in these
words
"The fifty cents extra is for the use of a
room. You don't suppose we can have our
rooms turned into barber shops for nothing,

SWEET OIL FOR PoIsoN.-A farmer writes !:
1t is now over twenty years since l heard
that sweet oil would cure the bite of rattle
snake, not knowing that it would cure other
kinds of poison. Practice and experience
have taught me that it will cure poison Of
any kind both on man and beast. The pa
tient must take spoonful of it internally,
and bathe the wound for cure.
To cure horse it takes eight times as much
as for man. One of the most extreme Ca
ses of snake bites occurred eleven years ago.
1t had been of thirty days standing, and the
patient had been given up by bis physicians.
I gave him spoonful of the oil, which efec.
ted a cure. 1t will cure bloat in cattle caused
by fresh clover. 1t will cure the stings of
bees, spiders, or other insects, and persons
who have been poisoned by low running
vine called ivy.-CoNege Courant.

MANURE.-"More manure is cry which
multitudes of farmers raise every year. This
is true not only in the East, but equally so in
many sections of the West. These men re-
cognize great and imperative need. They
know that without manure no great degree of
success can be attained in their business.
But it seems to me that many of these men
overlook point of equal Importance with the
one upon which they are so we'll informed.
They seem to forget that quality is just as es-
sential as quantity, and that while it is neces.
sary to have manure, it is also very desirable
to have that manure of high grade. hold
this opinion because | see great many farm
ers who are constantly wishing that they could
make more manure, throwing what they have
into open yards where it will be exposed for
months to the sunshine, winds and storms, to
be injured by each and all of them. Instead
of taking pains to save and keep in its best
condition the manure which they have, they
allow it to 60 to waste, and spend time in idle
regrets that they have no more. 1t seems to
me that these farmers should change their
course, and, instead of weekly calling for more,
should make an effort to have better manure.
They should build some cheap sheds to cover
the manure which is thrown from the stables
This can be done at small cost, and it will
pay. Winter is not good time to build, but
for such purpose as this, it is great deal
better to build now than not build at ALL
Plaster should also be used in the stables to
prevent the escape of ammonia, and care
should be taken to keep the manure in as
good condition as possible. When this is
done, it will be in order to call for larger
quantity. But the first thing to be done is to
take care of what is already at hand.-Ohio
