THE BRIGHT S1DE.-Look on the
bright side 1t is the right side. The
times may be hard, but it will make
them no easier to wear gloomy and sad
countenance. 1t is the sunshine and not
the cloud that gives beauty to the flower.
There is always before or around us that
which should ch and fill the heart
with warmth and gladncss. The sky is
blue ten times where it is black once
You have troubles, it may be. So have
others. None are free from them and
perhaps it is well that none should be.
They give sinew and tone to life, forti-
tude and courage to man. That would
be dull sea, and the sailor would never
acquire skill where there was nothing to
disturb its surface. 1t ia the duty of
every one to extract all the happiness
and enjoyment he can within and with
out him and above all, he should look
on the bright side. What though things
do look little dark? The lane will
turn, and the night will end in broad
day. In the long run, the great balance
rights itself. What appears i'll becomes
weii-tiat which appears wrong, right.
Mon are not made to hang down their
heads or lips, and those who do, only
show that they are departing from the
paths of true common sense and right
There is moro T;TsIo IL one sunbeam
than in a whole hemisphere of clouds
and gloom. Therefore, we repeat look
on the bright side. Cultivate all that is
warm and genial-not the cold and re-
pulsive, the dark and morosc.

WHERE A DRIVER SHOULD SIT.-The
Scientific american says: One of the an
omalies in American customs IL that OF
the driver Of wagon sitting on the right
hand side, while he always turns out to
the right when passing another team. 1t
mutters not whether OH the broad, safe
thorough fare or on q narrow lane or
crowded city streets, his seat is the same.
THUS seated it is very difficult to see the
exposed wheels in passing those which
require the eye of the driver. Doubtless
this is prominent cause CT the many
collisions between passing teams, and the
wonder is that more do PCT happen. The
custom was brought over by the Pill.
grims, but like n Dutch sentence, the
parts got traEsposed in the translation.
Across the pond the driver sits on the
right, hnt alweys turns to the LETT. In
copying the practice We retained the use
less part and changed the essential for
some unexplsined reason. Possibly our
fathers thought to be consistent in the
matter. and rather than be right-handed
in the driving changed the latter to suit.
AT all events, the thing as now practiced
is every way inconvenient, and is @ wor-
thy subject of reform in this year when
reforms are so much in favor. And
since it is easier to change our position
on he seat than alter the custom of turn
ing TO the right. iet lis hencefoTth hand

walton from him, Holtkamp called TO
him, but received no reply. Then ho
inquired what he wanted, and still no
answer; where he was going, with no
better success. Hotkamp advanced out
into the road and spoke aga!n. The man
sat quite composed, but said nothing.
Holtkamp put his hand en- him and found
the man perfectly stiff. He was startled
by this, and going to Mr.. Gilbert's home.

out and carried him into the school. house

practically between the Essex and Rerk-
shires for males with which to improve
the native stock of hardy grubbers of

tried the former have been delighted at
first, but after few years begin to recall
with longing the lean hams and thin but
solid and flavorous bacon of the old race
horae breed. The trouble with tho Essex
pigs in the South is that they are not
active enough. They are not the

The side fat is superb, and so is the leaf

be desired; but the hams and shoulders
are too fat for profit, and the ham is not
marbled with fat like the Berkshires.
These (the Berks) are much more enter

trolled, but good foragers. The grades
are wonderful improvement upon, the
original stock, may be made very fat, and
yet the proportion between. fat and lean

bacon is such as to develop aud preserve
the excellencies of the meat. The hams
are large and rich, and juicy with didused

The question is more easily asked than
answered. We advise, however, if you
have shelter, land if you have not, you
should have,) stall your cows as we'll as
your mules, and litter the stall once
week, turning the litter, as far Us practi-
cable, every day, so as 10 thoroughly ill.,
corporate it with the droppings Of the
animals. Once week empty or clean
out the stable and compost the manure
under shelter. Use neither lime nor
plaster on the heap until it is TO be carted
To the land, then sprinkle each load with
plaster.
Sprinkle the lime broadcast on the
lank; it should never be used on the
compost heap. The effect of the lime
will be to set free from the hoap many
elements that are contained in and re-
tained by the compost. The plaster has
an opposite tendency. When it is
| sprinkied upon the CARLOAD Of manure it
/ absorbs the escaping geses and carries
them with the cart to the field. The
lime will discngage them, and let them
loose in the air.
Leaves spread broadcast over the land
and sprinkled with lime, and then
ploughed under, will add vegetable mould
to the earth, but it is very slow and al
most imperceptible manure. The lime
in this instance hastens the decay Of the
leaves. and sets free the gases created in
the process of decomposition, which are
in turn again readily absorbed by mother
earth and held in that peculiar state that
makes them fit for plant food.
We question the economy of trying
cotton seed at fifteen cents per bushel
when cotton is only worth nine cents pei
pound. In practice, We have usually
found thirty pounds Of cotton seed to be
worth about as much as q pound of cot
ton. And yet, we have often found theT
remunerative at twenty-five cents pei
bushel. 49,. a
We would not recommend composing
cotton seed with stable manure, simply
because they, like the stable manure
contain sufficiency of one ingrcdieu
and not enough Of the other to c0nstitut,
perfect plant food. Cotton seed applied
alone will furnish oil the ammonia neces
sary for any crop, but the phosphorit
acid is lacking. Hence, we prefer t.
compost seed with acid phosphate il
