FARM AND GARDEN.


The Drlyerhial air castle seems Ia hav
been, in too many instances, the tavorite styl
OF architecture with American farmers. Up
on the hope and expectation of good crop
and large prices. purchases have been mad
by them which frequently have to I've palC
for by the results of endless toll AMI sleeples
nights Many an extra piece of land, addi
ton to the dwelling, extension to the barn
increase 10 The stock, and little household
luxury which was pleasant, but not absolute
| ly necessary, has been purchased upon The
expectation of unusual success, and paid fol
out of the savings and scrapings Of severa
successive bad seasons For farmers mus
and will pay their debts
During tae war of the rebellion, while
money was plentiful and all industries were
active one could frequently count the chick
ems before they were hatched, for Matching
was the order of the day At such time our
people acquired habits Of extravaganza and
carelessness, for which we began the pay
ment at the outset ofthe great panic of 1878,
and upon the mortgage to secure which they
are now, each year, paying an installment,
with some yet to come. If any one catches
us in a difficult position once, that is his
fault, perhaps; but If he catches Us there
again, it is certainly our fault, One war set
US all to counting our chickens before they
were Matched, and with good success, until it
became such habit that we continued to do
the same after Matching went out of fashion.
Now we have another war, not quite so near
at home, TO be sure, but one which develops
a strong probability Of making an excellent
and profitable market for our already prom
ising crops.
Every reasonable, thinking farmer Is emit
tied, upon these facts to build as much more
hope of profit and affiuence as they will war
rant; but let US caution everybody against
counting the chickens too soon. Do not
build your extra barn, nor buy your new pi-
ano till your crop is harvested, sold and the
money safely in your pocket Some little
thing may happen, should this caution go un-
needed, which might render it impossible to
realize the expected profit and then well,
then you would be in the same position that
many have been struggling out of for the few
past years, and in which some, today, are
Obliged to rely upon these very Great Expec-
tations for relief.
No worse spectacle can be presented than
the struggles Of the mortgaged farmer crop
ing his way ont OF the dark slough OF debt IN
to the light Of independence. And just such
times as the present are prolific in excuses
and eXpedents for contracting debts and
building castles for their payment. With
high prices, good crops and greater activity
in business, come desires for conveniences
and luxuries which are not in themselves
wrong, but the ratification Of which can
produce much harm unless paid tor out of
surplus earnings. Again let US repeat the eau.
ton against building too much upon that
which is merely hope Of profit. Great En-
pectatons an1 lively hope are the promoters
of progress, but are the means and not the
end First get your money, then buy your
gooGs.-Rual Men Yorker.

CARE OF TIE HAIR Keep the hair clean,
in the first place, and avoid the use of pc.
modes and hair oils. Nature provides all
the oil required to develop its natural gloss
and inherent beauty. But she does not open
the oil glands without some effort on the
part of the recipient Of the treasure. Conhn.
uous brushing is the price to be paid, and
this requires nothing but patience and perse-
verence Neither should the time devoted to
this purpose be looked upon as wasted, for
halrbrushing has a peculiarly soothing and
quoting influence Fifty strokes of the brush
before retiring will make the sitfest and dry
est hair plint and glossy. The experiment is
worth trying, and, fpersevered in, will doubt
less prove successful, while the dose may be
increased with still more decided effect.

Baltimore meat dealers desire TO join in
the expectation Of fresh meat to England but
are prevented by the lack of freight facilities.
Therefore they are sending canned beef across
the ocean. In their process, the meat is
freed OF bone and tat, cooled thoroughly In
an ice house, packed awhile in spices, soaked
awhile in sweet pickle, and then boiled.
The packing Is done while the meat is hot,
and the cans, after sealing, are put into a
chest of superheated steam. This intense
heat lmpars great expansive energy to the
vapor that has been let in the can, and a
puncture of the tin releases it with spirit.
The meat Is canned in single pieces Here
tofore meat similarly sent to England from
Australia has not met with much favor but
the Baltimore butchers are sanguine

How TO MANAGE OLD POTAToEs.-At this
season of the year some farmers are at loss to
know how to dispose Of their surplus pota.
toes, and for this reason many are allowed 10
remain in the cellars until spoiled, and are
then brought out and thrown away will
inform them ola method long practiccd ny
some of the best farmers III the country. In
June the potatoes are taken out OF the cellar
and carried into a Shed chamber and spread
on the dry floor, and alswed to remain
through the hot weather. They shrivel, bU,
do moi rot nor sprout. In the hot part of the
summer. when feed becomes short, these
shrivcled potatoes are fed out TO the cows
they increase the flow OF milk very much and
are preferred by the cows to new potatoes.

Ben. Butler has written lengthy response
to the recent letter of Wayne McFeagh, scor
ing Butler for his insinuatlons against the
Hayes New Orleans commission, in the Pit
kin letter. We append short extract. To
understand the "allusons" it must be remem.
bered that McVeagh married one Of Simon
Cameron's daughters against the parental
will:
As YOU state your excuse, ait is only mil.
itary commandment Of New Orleans, in time
of war, who can SGJ5ly appropriate any con-
siderable quantity of the property Of others TO
his own use"
Do understand you correctly that it is
the want Of ability TO do it "SJely' that has
prevented you from "appropriating consld-
cradle quantity OF the property O.. others to
your own use?'
However, shall not affect to misunder.
stand the allusion which you thus make, but
pardon il to the apparent loss of your temper,
which makes your writing at once unjust,
illogical, and unperspicious. If you believed,
what you are brave enough only TO insinuate
because, although you are young and able
bodied, fail to recall the number of the reg
lment in which you served in the war for
