Quiet Folks.

Quietness is sometimes asignot bodily
health. The nervous man, who IS
always stirring, is seldom strong, But
when a man is thoroughly wrapped up
in himself and his own importance, per
fcctly satisfied with his position and pres
poets, the cut Of his clothes, the length
of his whiskers, the attenuation OF his
umbrella, and the luster of his hat, the
chances are that he Is very quiet. Such
men are habitually well dressed; but, as
they get on in life, they cling to old
fashions. They are not %considerate for
others, yet they give very little trouble
They exact the utmost service, but make
no fuss about it. They are painfully
regular and pu%nctual, but never seem
put out by other peoples want OF order.
They are bores at a dinner party, wet
blankets at a picnic, mere sticks at a ball;
but excellent as officers, admirable par
sons, much sought after by matchmaking
mothers. 1t is they who carry off the
heiresses; who always save money
who are never in debt or difficulty, as
other men are who are regular in their
devotions, and invaluable on commit
tees, where they always get their own
way, without trouble or fuss, They
ha6itually wait till every one else has
spoken. and then make the single re.
mark which concludes the matter, and
which seems as if it had risen to the sur
face, like cream, of itself, Strict order
is kept in their houses; but they DO not,
as a rule, make good fathers. Their
children are too much afraid OF them
and too glad to get away from home.
Strange to say, though they seldom
speak, they are excellent correspond
ents, write well, clearly, and at great
length, and often turn into authors,
especially novelists. They have observed
while others talked and have passed
mental judgments which their secre-
t~iyeness enables them to store for use.
They are seldom deficient in humOr; tell
a story in the fewest words, well and
quietly and have generally some friend
in whose society they seem to take a silent
and subdued pleasure, and with whom
they can sit for hours without speaking,
They live respected by all who know
them, are trustees and guardians to in,
Vulnerable wards, and are often more
missed when they die than better men
If the world fails to love them, it make:
up by trusting them and every few
years one of them turns out to have elab
Grated some fraud, and goes away into
exile without a word Saturday RerjcC

Farmers frequently have occasion to
sell turkeys by live weight, and wish to
know what is the fair relative price be.
tween live and dead weight. In turkeys
dressed for the New York market, where
the blood and feathers only are removed,
the loss is very small. For the eastern
markets the heads are taken off and the
e~ntrails are taken out, This makes a los.
of nearly one.tenth in the weight. A
large gobbler was recently killed weigh.
inc t|hirty.one and one half pounds. AZ
ter bleeding and picking he weighed
twenty.nine and One-half pounds, a los
of two pounds, or one.fiteenth. Wher
ready for the spit he weighed twenty
eight and o~ne.fourth pounds, a loss 0
three and one-fourth pounds, which i
nearly one-tenth of the weight, WheI
the market requires the New York styl,
of dressing, the price is fifteen cents
pound live weight, or less, if the labor o
dressing be counted anything. In tn
other style Of dressing, if the price wer
twenty cents, the farmer could sell 70
eighteen cents, or less, live weight, with
out loss. Farmers who never tested tn
loss of weight in dressing often submit t
the deduction of three or four cents
pound for the middlemen, who are inter
ested in making this large difference

Theory and Practice.

There are farmers who are as stubborn
and unwilling to accept the teachings of
theoryas men many other relation OF life.
They entertain a contempt for book
farming, as they call it, that sabsolutely
whitening. Fancy farming and fancy
stock breeding are to such men the most
triling puerility-it is a boys play that
was never equaled in frivolity by any
game at the freslde or on the green.
Yet it is a fact that some of our most
important and profitable practice in both
these industries has been taught us by
fancy operations. Fancy farming is
largely experimental and it is seldom
that experiment in anything fails to re.
suit in some benefit. A prejudice
against theoretical farming, experimental
farming, or book farming, whatever you
may call it, is a prejudice which other
callings have never cherished toward
similar teachings. 1t is true that much
Of this fancy or experimental work
amounts to nothing. There are visionary
men in all spheres of action,la land they dis,
gust us with their wild vagaries and
schemes but an intelligent experimental
will usually do something to benefit him
self and the world. Rodgers, for instance
was experimenting in growing grape
from seedlings for a quaater of a century
and during that time failed in many in
stances to produce anything of value il
the way of variety but we all know tina
he produced the choicest varieties o
grapes that we have. All intelligent ex
periments result in similar blessings T.

The best insect destroyer, according to
the journal of Chemistry, is alum water.
Put the alum into hot water and let it
boil until it is entirely dissolved, then
apply it hot with a brush to all cracks,

WHEAT.
y,.,d Of the world's Harvest this Wear.

Weld OF tne w NNAh > AA"A
On the whole it must be pronounced
reod one There can be little
reason to doubt that the United states
are gathering in the largest crop OF the
best quality that has been produced IN
those vast regions. Their own estimate
i that they have a surplus nearly enough
to supply all our needs, and the Amerl-
cans tive good earnest of their belief by
depressing our markets with the quantity
and low price Of their produce. But
America has been frequently deceived
herself in this matter. and there may be
evaporation in The estimate this year,
Eryp. has an abundant crop, and is
rapidly turning it into money. Austria
and Hungary have q considerable surplus
to spare. Russia is said TO have a more
abundant crop than she has reaped tor
wears but as her ports on the south are
closed, only 50 much Of this a be eX-
ported as can be sent to the Baltic, or by
railroad through Germany. France and
Belgium, however, have poor crops this
wear, and, instead of sending to us, will
be competitors with us for the American
and Hungarian surplus. There can be
little doubt that, if the Russian supplies
were liberated, the competition of
America and Russia would reduce values.
1t is perhaps for that reason that
America, seeing her opportunity, is sell
ing all she can while Russia is almost
shut up. The American factories which
have supplied the Turks with rifles
which have done them suchSgood service
have played the best possible game for
the American farmers, who can pay for
all the rifles that have been sent to Tur-
KEY out of the difference in price, which
they are obtaining for their wheat above
what they would have got had the Black
Sea been open. 1t is clear, we think,
that the worlds crop is sufficient for Its
needs, and that, if our traders can but
keep themselves from the panic and
alarm which the disastrously bad crop OF
England may, with reason, occasion, al
though we may have to pay more for oul
loaf than the average price of the last
cereal year, yet the present ruling price,
are high enough to attract sufficient sup
plies to Il shores, 1t must not be for
gotten, however, that the failure of on.
potato crop will cause a large extra de
mand for bread.-SahUday Reriec,
