Agriculture, saws a farmer writer, is

Agriculture, says farmer WRITER'S
one of the noblest and purest profess
sions known among men. Freer from
temptation than any other, it is better
adapted to develop both the physical
and moral nature, while the true Dig
nifty and manly independence which il
inspires ought to commend it to our
young men who are just starting out
on the journey of life. 1t bodies no
good to the future welfare and hap
piness of our country that so many of
our young men are seeking positions
as clerks or statesmen in our towns
and cities. Aside from the tempta-
tions to which it subjects them, it is
bad movement for them and for the
country financially. The great lesson
which our youth need TO learn is econ
omy-the art of living within our
means, and no where can this lesson
be SO successfully taught as among
the producing classes. The corrup-
ton, extravaganza and Incidence ell
gendered by our late civil war are alb
solutely alarming, and the only hope
for the future is for the people to go
back TO first principles.
The life of the farmer is not free
from toll and anxiety, but after all it
is the happiest and noblest upon earth.
The truth is, there are no "soft places"
in any department of human effort if
a man honestly and faithfully dis
charges his duty.
If could reach the ear of our young
men in the country, would say stick
to the farm, You will never find
more honorable vocation.

Neat Farmers.

The neat farmer keeps everything
around him neat and clean, and gives
his fields clear culture. Stumps,
bushes and rocks are taken out and
removed where they will do the most
good; his door yards are kept clean
and smooth; fences always ready to
open and shut; all old logs and bushes
and other rubbish taken from the
sides of the road in front of his build
ings; his barn and out-buildings are
kept in repair and painted or white
washed; doors and windows whole,
and always provided with hinges and
fastners for instant use; his tools
sharp and always in their places when
wanted; place for everything and
everything in its place. His farm
wagons, plows, harrows and all other
tools are carefully housed when not in
use: his house is a model of neatness
outside and in; he lets nothing go to
waste that will make manure; his
stock is well taken care of and fed, and
always kept in healthy condition;
barn and stable floors kept clean and
tidy; he has more or less nice stock to
sell every year, and generally has
little scrip in his pocket for rainy
day to pay his bills; always rides with
a good team, and is generally out of
debt; he owns more or less bank stock
and of course is happy and contented,
and enjoys the blessings of life.-Dt-

Stand East.

Patrons hesitate and doubt; they
fear the Order will not avail them as
they had hoped; they listen to the
sneers of men who have been accus-
toned to control them and they draw
back in confusion. They seem to
want the countenance of somebody of
"higher position" and they are very
bashful. 1t is all wrong and it must
speedily be righted. Farmers, Pa
irons have the same rights as other
men, and they must boldly assume
and assert them. They have the same
duties as other men, and they must
fearlessly do them. The time for
cowardice has gone by. If your
Grange is inactive and its meetings
neglected, it is probably your fault;
if the cooperative enterprises fail, it
is because you have not put your
shoulder to the wheel. Suppose you
fail, so have thousands before you, but
they up and at it again with renewed
energy and enlarged experience. Have
you hoped for success with the feeble
and spasmodic efforts so far made ?
That is because you knew not the diff
ficulties. You have learned some of
them now, and you will learn more as
you go on. But don't turn and run
because your enemies don't fly at your
whistle; they are to be whipped, and
you must off coat and at them. Ifyou
conquer, it is by long, steady, per-
sistent struggle, all together. Stand
fast.-Pdtron'S Helper.

How to Harden Butter.

An English butter maker of large
experience, who is now OH visit to
this country for the purpose Of look
ing over our cheese and butter diaries,
gives us the following Information
concerning method in practice
among the best butter makers of Eng
land for hardening or rendering but
ter firm and and solid during the hot
weather. Carbonate of soda and alum
are used for the purpose, made into a
powder. For twenty pounds of but
ter, one teaspoonful each of carbonate
of soda and powdered alum are min
gled together at the time of churning
and put into the cream. The effect of
this powder is to make the butter
come firm and solid and TO give it q
clean, sweet flavor. 1t does not enter
into the butter, but its action is upon
the cream, and it passes eff with the
buttermilk. The ingredients of the
powder should not be mingled togeth-
err until required to be used, or at the
time the cream is in the churn ready
for churning.

Stick TO Your Business.


There is nothing which should be
more frequently impressed upon the
minds of young men than the impor-
tance of steadily pursuing some one
business. The frequent changing
from one employment to another is
one of the most common errors COM
mitted, and to it may be traced more
than half the failures of men in bust
ness, and much of the discomfort
which render life uncomfortable. 1t
is very common thing for man to
be dissatisfied with his business, and
to desire to change 1t for some other,
which, it seems TO him, will prove 4
more lucrative employment but in
nine cases ont of ten it is mistake.
Look around you, and you viii find
among your acquaintance abundant
verification of our assertion.
There is an honest farmer who has
toiled few years, got his farm paid
for, but does not grow rich, as much
for lack of contentment mingled with
industry as any thing else, though he
is aware of it. lie hears the wonder
full stories of California, and how for
tunes may be had for the trouble of
picking them up mortgages his farm
to raise the money, goes away to the
land of gold, and, after months of
hard toll, comes homes to commence
again at the bottom of the hill for a
more weary aud less successful climb
ing up again. Mark the men in every
community who are notorious for
ability, and equally notorious for new
err getting ahead, and you will usually
find them TO be those who never stick
TO one business long, but are always
forsaking their occupation Just when
it begins to be proiitable.-Kansas

A Drunken Farm.

Often and often, while passing
through the country, we have passed
o farm whose history we can read at a
glance. The door-yard has disappear
ed-burned up in the shiftlessness
born of drink. The house was un-
painted and battered broken panes of
glass stopped with rags or old hats
the chimney stood In tottering atti-
tudc the doors swung in a creaking
condition OH one hinge; the steps
were unsteady, like their owners; ev-
erything was dilapidated, decayed, un-
tidy, cherries, A single look showed
that its owner had traded too much at
one shop-thc rum shop. The spirit
OF thrift had been killed by the spirit
of the still fresh paint, repairs, i'm
provements, good cheer, and beauty
for the farmer throat.
Outside matters were the same. The
barn-yards were wretched stys; the
doors were off, the roofs were leaky,
the gates down, the carts crazy, the
tools broken, the fodder scarce, and
the stock poor and wretcbed. Neglect
cruelty, wastefulness, ruin, all had
come from drink. The farm showed
the trail of the same serpent. The
Smuggling and tumbled walls, the rick
ETY. fences, the wood-grown fields, the
sparse and half-headed crops, the dy-
ing orchards, all said to the passer-by
"Whisky did it," Drink had given
the plaster of a mortgage instead of a
coating of fertilizer, sloth instead of
labor, unthrift instead of labor, I'M
thrift instead of care, and demoraliza-
in lieu of system. The farm was
drink-blighted, and advertised its con-
dition as plainly as its owner did
when he came reeling home from the
town. One of the most impressive
temperance lectures, for young farm
ers especially, is good look at a
drunken farm.

$4,000, built of brick. There is an ev-
idencc of the permanency of our Or

of our members that 1T has come to

Make your orchards your poultry
yards. Fruit trees and poultry have
an affinity for each other in more ways
than one. The busy chicks find every
bug, worm and egg that sooner or lat
er work harm to the trees, and. their
drippings enrich and promote a healthy
and vigorous growth. Clip their
wings if they exhibit desire to climb
for fruit. Give your fowls plenty of
dust or coal ashes as bath, also lime,
rubbish and gravel, together with
proper food, and you will be rewarded
by healthy fowls and generous sup
ply of eggs. With all the other direc-
tions which are given for the proven
ton of disease among poultry, meme is
of more Importance than that of hay
ing clean, well-ventilated houses

lntemperanCe,

There is no rational man, what
ever his occupation or pursuit, who
does not recognize the great evil Of
intemperance. 1t thrusts itself be-
fore the eyes in all the avenues Of
life, and casts its pail over the gild-
ed parlors of the rich as well as the
gloomy abodes Of the poor. We have
never been of those who regard stat
utory enactments and sumptuary
laws as a part of the economy neces-
sary to the abatement of this great
evil. We do not believe it is in the
power of any parchment scroll to
educate the appetite, to control its
tendency or eradicate its thirst
That excessive liquor drinking is a
great sin-a moral blight that drags
to destruction both soul and body,
no one can possibly doubt; but it
cannot be cured by harshlegislation,
or any other processes than those
which reach the consciousness, the
moral springs of human action and
conduct. 1t is true that. the great
majority of those who fall victims to
the tyranny of this terrible habit
have natures attuned to the sweetest
influences of life-whose emotions
are awakened by the tender touch
Of sympathy, and who may be led
7irway from this aw'fat vice by kind
words and persuasive appeal, but
cannot be driven to the abandon.
mcnt of the influences and associa-
tions which wind their fatal coils
around their moral being.-E1.

STATE ITEMS.

We are glad to learn that Hon. B.
f. Martin our representative in Con.
gress is wide awake on the subject Of
the improvement of the Monongahcla
river. Some two or three weeks ago
he introduced a bill on the subject,
which was referred to the committee
on commerce and $4,000 is recon-
mended for Stacking our river. Mr..
Kenna, who represents the Third
District, is amemberof the commerce
committee and will labor diligently
to secure this appropriation. Col.
Wilson and Senators Davis and Here
ford have heretofore been faithful
and earnest workers for our river
improvement and will no doubt work
manfully for it now. There can GER
tainly be no work for which govern
ment patronage is asked that is more
deserving than this and we sincerely
hope that the efforts of our represen-
tation in Congress to secure this $50,
600 will be successful. The govern
ment has already expended very
large sum of money on this river,
which is of no value whatever, un-
less the work shall be completed by
building another dam below the one
already built. This sum will not
complete the improvement, but will
serve TO keep the work progressing

THAT SILVER MINE.-The facts in
the case of the trade for that silver
mine on Sandy seem to be somewhat
different from what they were re.
ported to us. Instead of $4,000 being
paid for the land, we are informed by
Mr.. Morgan, the trade was made in
this way: The parties paid Mr.. Nor.
gan 1926 cash and are to have the
option of the land until next Novem-
ber, when they are to pay $500 more,
Mr.. Morgan to have one-iifth interest
in any silver discovered, This
changes the looks Of the thing some
what, Mr.. Morgan says that though
the men made no further disclosures,
they went away, as it seemed to him,
not very well satisfied, and they are
supposed to have gone TO Wheeling
to Interview the old man who posted
them about the silver, who is in Jail
there for some unlawful doings.-
