The Honest Truth.

The naked, honest truth Is not so
easily obtained as most people i'm
agine. Agricultural truth is par
ticularly hard to acquire. The best
cultivators often differ materially
about almost everything connected
with farming. The honest inquirer
sometimes thinks he has obtained a
great truth from a farmer of ac-
knowledged skill, but the next
farmer he meets may call the whole
thing a delusion and foolishness.
We have been questioning the best
planters we could find third of a
century about what they know OF
farming; and yet we often sit down
in a fog after our most diligent in
quiries and closest observations.
One planter, noted for his plain
common sense, experience and sac
cess, stated to us that he had been
putting up seed cane twenty-five
years, and then he did not know as
much about the best method OF
saving sugar cane as he thought he
knew twenty-five years ago. An
other planter, who made fortune
out of his sugar crops, said he could
prove, by figures on slate, that he
could make more money by cult.
waiting cane alone and buying his
corn, but he always raised his corn
because his slate and figures lied to
him and experience told him the
truth.
One has to dive to the bottom OF
the sea for pearls, and work his way
into the bowels of the earth and
wash sands carefully for gold and
diamonds; and 1t is equally as diff
cult to collect valuable truths, par
ticularly those relating to agricul-
ture. The farmer or planter who
thinks he "knows it ALL" has just
commenced learning his agricultu
raj alphabet.

American Imitation of English
AfectatiOn.

A bright little article in she New
York Times recently commented,
with good -humored satire, upon the
American ladies who go abroad,
and presently come home calling
"coap' 'coals," and "really"
"weally," and remarking that
friend is very much 'cut up by the
loss of child. In other years this
kind of American lady or gentle
man returned and informed its
friends that the club dinner was
lawful jolly" that Mrs. Stomacher's
new crimson velvet was stunning"
and that the young Viscount
Lewith was 'just the incest person
in the world The Times points
out that all this extraordinary use
of the English language comes from
the fact that the little lady has been
to a few dinners and country
houses in England, and has remem
bered to initiate only the least de-
sirable expressions current in con
ve-sation. This effect of the OPP
preston of foreign grandeur" is
comicaI. Imitation is undoubtedly
homage, and the London dandy
who says "weally" and "fealleawe"
must have a certain gratified but
contemptuous amusement in hear
ing the American snob initiating
his affectation.
The imitation of English affecta
tions, as well as of better English
things, is not new. 1t is not very
many years since the praice of
young gentleman's manners that
they were $50 English" was most
grateful. The English manner was
the then apparently supposed to
be a supercillous indifference.
iSartout, pass de zeIe, was the true
gospel Of the drawing-room. Mr..
N. P. Willis had mentioned that
in English society scenes were
vulgar to the last degree; so it was
necessary for the American gentle
man to part with his friend, setting
out to circumnavigate the globe,
as if he were passing him upon the
street, and to receive his most init
mate companion after long absence
in foreign lands as if he had parted
with him at breakfast. The same
feeling that eschewed "scenes" also
condemned warmth or amplitude
of expression. "How do, old Teller"
was the maximum of ardor in greet
ing. If you had been on your trav-
els, Mont Blanc was jolly, and Sor-
rento was nice. Things did very
well. OF course it was not worth
willie to make a fuss. No gentle
man does. But the world was rather
a bore.

Be kind to the book agent. He
has father, perhaps, and a mother,
who knew him in his innocent
youth. Perhaps even now in some
peaceful New England village, fond
hearts are beating for him, and
sweet lips breathe loves dearest
prayers for his welfare. Therefore,
lay him down tenderly, fold his
hands peacefully on his breast, and
close his eyes gently, as you put
him to rest under the branches of
the weeping willow, where the birds
carol all through the summer days
their softest songs. But plant him
deep-plant him deep.

How much better is j. for every
young msn who intends to be a
farmer to purchase little farm and
work it well for himself, than to rent
or hire or to work somebody else's
farm for half of what can be raised
thereon. A man ordinarily works
for himself with more zeal, skill and
oheerfulness than for anybody else.
You will never hear such a man
talking about an eight-hour or a
ten-hour law. When a man serves
himself he labors till the work is
done, regardless of numerical hours.

COUNTRY GIRLS.

Cp in the morning early,
just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turningsthe cows away;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds mp stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parler chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the cotton yard;
Spreading the whitening linen
Down on the bushes below;
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red strawberries grow.
Starching the filings for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pale and strainer
Down in the running stream
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin pies,
Jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.

Music IN every tone,
Beauty in form and feature,
Thousands might covet to own
Cheeks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls;

Education of Farmers.

The time has come when the
farmers must be educated. The
many improvements in agricultural
implements, and the mode of farm
ing, makes it necessary that the
farmers understand their business.
We remember many years ago,
when nearly all our clothing was
manufactured at home by our moth
ers, wives and sisters. Cotton cards,
spinning wheels and looms were
found in every household, and a
good housewife would as soon have
thought of keeping house without
cooking utensils as without her
wheels and cards. The improve
ments IN manufacturing cotton
goods by machinery has done away
with nearly all this, in like manner
the Improvements in agricultural
implements are fast doing away
with much that we were accustomed
to in our youth. The reaper and
mower are displacing the sycle and
scythe, and soon they will be things
of the past. The great improve
ments in preparing and cultivating
the land by means of improved
plows, cultivating the land by
means of improved cultivators, har-
rows, etc, will supercede the old
"duck bill'' coulter, the scooter and
common shovel plow of our fathers.
The experiments that are constant
ly being made in fertilizers and
adaptation of crops to particular
soils, will soon cause such revolu-
ton in farming that he who under
takes to farm on the old plan will
not be able to make a living, but
will be forced to adopt the new
methods. To do this will involve
the necessity of his being educated
in business. By education, how
ever, we do not mean that solely
given by the schools and agricul-
tural colleges; that kind of educa
ton is very desirable, but is not at
by all. What we mean is
the education of the masses of til
lers of the soil, which is to be OBJ
tanned by the reading of agricul-
tural books and periodicals, and by
putting in practice the ideas gath
cred from these and other sources,
such as is often gained by inter
course with experienced farmers.
Many such usefu! lessons can and
ought to be taught in every Grange,
and will be when the various off,
GERS do their duty, when the Grange
meets for the purpose of imparting
and receiving information. We
think the day is at hand when the
of the farmer in this
country, will be one of the most
honorable positions that men can
occupy, and instead of men endeav-
bring to educate their sons for what |
is called the learned professions of
the present day they viii be educa-
led for the noble pursuits of hus-
Dandry. When this becomes the
case, ours will be the most prosper
ous country on the face of the globe.

How to Get Along

Don't stop to tell stories during
business hours.
If you have a place of business
be there when wanted
No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
Never ''fool' in business matters
Have order, system, regularity
and also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know not of.
Do not kick every one in your
path.
More miles can be made in a day
by going steadily than stopping
Pay as you go.

The following hints concerning
the use of tea may prove useful /:
l. Whoever uses tea should do so
in great moderation. 2. 1t should
form part of the meal, but never
be taken before eating, or between
meals, or on an empty stomach, as
is too frequently done. 3. The
best time to take tea is after a hearty
meal. 4. Those who suffer with
weak nerves should never take it at
all. 5. Those who are troubled
with the inability to sleepiat night
should mot use tea, or if they do,
take it. only in the morning. 6.
Brain workers should never goad
on their brains to over-work on the
stimulus of tea. 7. Children and
the young should not use it. s
The over-worked and the under-fed
should not use it. 8. 1t should
never be drank very strong. 10.
1t is better with considerable milk
and sugar. IL. Its use should at
once be abandoned when harm
comes from it. II. Multitudes of
diseases come from the excessive
use Of tea, and for this reason those
who cannot use it without going
to excess should not use it at all.
