The Country Gentleman"

There are large number of agricultural
papers printed in this country, and perhaps
there are none that are not worth their
price. He must be poor reader who can
not gather two or three dollars worth of in
formation from years issue of most any
newspaper. But it must be allowed that
very many of them are not as good as could
be wished. Most of them are too sloppy, so
to speak. They lack good and intelligent
editing. As papers, they resemble too much
those farms that are slackly managed, with
out much, or the right kind of intelligence
We agricultural editors too often lay our
selves open TO the retort from the criticized
farmer" Physician, heal thyself!" not only
as regards our farming, but also as regards
our editing.
There are about dozen agricultural
papers in the United States and Canada
that are swell farmed." Pretty close to
the head of these stands the journal whose
name heads this notice. With the general
run of farmers we fear that its name is
against it. They think il is fancy farm
er's paper, devoted to the indscrimnat,
putting of blooded aud pedigreed took, and
the glorifcation of the trotting horse. There
is something of that in it; but besides, and
much more abundantly, it gives its readers
sound and well considered information upon
every point of practical husbandry. 1t is
the chosen vehicle of the writing of many
of the very best farmers in the country who
use the pen for the benefit of their fellows
Ii is an excellent agricultural newspaper
that is, it is well filled with agricultural, az
distinguished from general news. A gooC
farmer wants the agricultural news. liz
wants to know what is going on, agricul
turally, all over the world. This the yer,
extensive and competent correspondence o
the Country Gentleman gives him. Its hor
ticultural department is edited by John
Thomas, who has more horticulture unde
his broad-brim than any man we know of
OF its contributors in the livestock depart
ment perhaps similar remark might b
made. Bees and poultry are well writer
about and its domestic department is ex
tremely good. In short, the publishers

VIII lie Keep That Promise ?

The old man was dying. More than
four-score winters had left their SHOWS upon
his head. The wife of his youth had gone
before to her heavenly home and since she
left him life had been but lonely pilgrim
age. Now he had reached the end of his
Journey, and his feet-weary tired feet they
were-already stood in the waters Of that
river we all must cross. The last good-byes
had been spoken-on the part of his friends
with binding tears, on his with triumphant
Joy. They thought he had done with earth,
and that its sorrows would never more dis
turb his departing spirit. But no. One
duty more must be performed before he
could be at rest.
At his bedside stood all his family-men
and women in the prime of their years.
How tenderly that dying father had loved
them, each could testify. There was one
the youngest, the Benjamin-who had
brought sorrow to his fathers heart. Cen
erous, warn-hearted, gifted in no ordinary
manner, he had nevertheless learned to look
upon the wine when it is red and to love its
fatal fascination. Again and again he had
made promises of reformation, and for a
short time it seemed as if he would keep
them but temptation came and he fell, each
time little lower still. Two years before
the time of which | am writing he had
identified himself with the temperance move
ment then sweeping over the state, aud had,
thus far, faithfully kept his pledge. His
father had watched his course with the deep
est solicitude, and it was his anxiety for his
dear son that brought him back from the
very brink OF the dark river.
40 my child, my dear child" he said in
broken tones, and the last tears he was ever
to shed rolled down his pale cheeks "you
do not know how many times your mother
and have sat in this very room and talked
of you when you were far away and doing
so badly We knew you were spending your
time and strength and money in drink, and
we used to talk about you till our hearts
were almost broken, and then we would
kneel down right here, in this corner of the
room, and pray God TO keep you from a
drunkard's grave. hope our prayers have
been answered, and thank God have lived
to see you reformed man but know how
strong evil habits are, and | want you to
promise me here, on my dying bed, never to
touch, taste, or handle any intoxicating
drink. viii you promise 7"
The son had been standing sobbing by
the bed while the dying father spoke. Now
he put his hand on the brow already damp
with the dews of death, and said, d" Father
/ promise, and promise also by Gods belE
to meet you and mother in heaven
There was weeping all over the room, but
the face of the dying man was radiant "My
son, believe you will keep that promise
now, | am ready to go"
And the pilgrim, who had tarried little
for this duty, pressed forward and was sooI
beyond our sight.
This is no fancy sketch. Will you whC
read it pray that the young man may keel
that promise ?-.Seiected

A Strong Argument.

About two years ago, Judge A. w. Bart
lett, of Trimble county, Ky, refused to
license the sale of Intoxicating drinks to any
man in the county. This "new departure
by county Judge was heralded all over the
land. and charge of INSTRUMENTATION was
made, and an appeal went up to the Court
of Appeals. But the Judge remained firm.
He looked at the work of the license system
in the county; he saw "evil, only evil, and
that continually" aud resolved that, by his
hand, no more men should be allowed TO
work ruin among his people that in eternity
no rum-seller should hold up his license and
say, " Here Lord, is my authority, signed by
the county judge of Trmble county" The
Court of Appeals sustained the Judge, and
since that day not licensed runi.shop has
been granted for the county. Now, mark
the result to-day, there is not criminal
case on the docket in Trimble county not
a criminal in the Jail, not pauper in the
county, and not licensed ba-room. Last
county court day, though the county seat
(Bedfor6) was crowded with people, not a
drunken man was seen in the town. Perfect
order and goodwill reigned No husband
went home terror to his wife, no father a
demon to his children. Men ask, "What
good will a prohibitory law do, If passed p
Here is one OF many examples we could give
Just like it. Is not such record desired
Tor every county? Look at Anderson county,
with her two whiskey murders in one week !;
look at Jefferson county, with her forty or
fifty murders per year, and five hundred and
thirty-seven arrests in one city in the month
of June; look at Pulaski county, with her
ten whiskey murders recently; look at Bour-
bon, with her ten whiskey murders now on
docket; look at Scott, with her docket
crowded, and then look at Trimble, free
from whiskey and free from crime, and say
whether you will put your name with Judge
Bartlett's against the license system, or in
favor of it.-Keniucky temperance A drocate.

Too Many Cows.

Not that the dairy business is overdone.
Butter and cheese are low in price, because
the great majority of eaters in this land are
too poor to buy as much as they want. But
if times are ever to be better, these people
will again be able to butter their bread.
The eaters increase quite as fast as the pro-
ducers. But still there are too many cows.
Every herd, almost, in the country contains
animals that scarcely pay fol their keep,
and cannot be made to do so. These should
be weeded out, and not replaced until they
can be replaced by cows that will pay. In
Mr.. Jameson's account of the farming of
Mr.. Blake, which we gave recently, he says
that Mr. Blake now gets as much butter
from seventeen COWS as heformerly got from
twenty This indicates a judicious and
improving farmer. The keep of the three
COWS sold off is saved, and added to the
profits of the farm. The extra labor of
tending them is got rid of. The satisfac-
ton of owning none but profitable stock is
worth something.
The money interest of every dairyman is
to own none but profitable cows, and then
to keep and feed them in such a manner as
to get the last possible ounce of butter OF
cheese from them, consistent with preserv-
ing their health and constitutions. After
this comes the skillful, uniform making up
of the product; and finally the marketing,
so as to get the full market value. The
farmer who can do all these things has a
right to call himself farmer. He may not
have much book learning, but he is full OF
profitable knowledge about his business. II
he has a good knowledge of books about
dairying. and reads the papers, he will pick
up some handy items that will help him
If he is willing to "do good and communi
cate" he will occasionally furnish the papers
with items of his own experience. Thus he
becomes, in addition to being good farmer
good citizen. He is doing what he can tC
help himself and his fellow-men. Such {
man is in imminent danger of being Chris
tian. He is not far from the kingdom Of
God which is kingdom in which the no
bility consists of the hard workers, whose
work is useful to all, and so meant to be by
those who do it.

VERMONT WATERMAN STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY,

many contending that il was almost worth
less on account of the large amount OF water
it contained. But long experience, as well
as the highest scientific authority, has shown
that the most nutritious food is that which
is largely diluted with water. AS our bodies
are composed of three-fourths water, 1t Is
necessary that the food we take should CON
tain OF be given in connection with ike
amount of liquid, and the presence OF this
liquid in the food always renders it more
paatable and nourishing. Who would eat
dried-up apple when he could get juicy
one or piece of meat roasted and broiled
till all the nourishing juices were evapor'
ated, making it more like leather than
healthy meat when he could obtain one
cooked in such manner that these juices
we're retained. Although flour contains SIX
teen per cent. of water, fifty per cent. more
is added when it is made into bread, so that
in one hundred and sixty pounds sixty-six
pounds of water is consumed, and even then
it is regarded as very dry unless we have

THERE are men who look upon labor as a
curse, and the laborer as accursed. Their
only aim Is to avoid this curse as much as
possible. They are willing, nay--eager, to
consume the fruits of other mems labors,
while they themselves produce nothing and
perform no use. These men, rightly consid-
cred, amid all their luxury aud their so
called culture, are mere tramps, preying

THE OLD COUPLE.

II stands In q sunny meadow,
The house 20 messy and brown;
with its cumbrous, old, stone ciimneys,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around 1t.
The trees q century old;
And the winds 10 chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cow.lips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill
And beside the brook on the pastures
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit In the sun alonel
And the old wife's tears are falling,
As she harka to the well known tone
That won her heart In her girlhood,
That has soothed her In many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used TO wear.
She thinks again OF her bridal
How, dressed in her robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
oh, the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek is fed;
And the sunshine stil Is golden,
But falls on silvered head.
And the glrlhood dreams, once vanished,
Cons back In her winter-tilne,
TIL her feeble pulses tremble
with the thrill Of sprng-time's prime.
And looking forth from the window,
she thinks how the trees have grown,
Since clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door-stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs younggoldi
The love in her gitlhood pllghted
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat In peace in the Sunshine,
TIL the day was almost done;
And then, at its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.

He Touched their eyelids with balm;
And their last breath foated upward
Like the close Of q solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The unseen. mystical road
That leads to the beautiful city,
"whose builder and maker is God"
Perhaps In that miracle country
They will give her lost youth back;
And the flowers of vanished spring
viii bloom in the spirits track.
One daught from the living waters
Shall call back his manhood's prime;
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair.
Made holy to us by the kisses
The angel had printed there,
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west;
Where the sunbeams canno, find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And wen suffer no tell-tale tombstone.
