Oats and Peas.

Oats and peas sown together pro-
duce a very nutritious fodder The
two crops together, upon one acre
of good soil, will yield nearly, if not
quite as much, fodder as would an
acre of each sown separately. We
have sown two bushels of oats and
six pecks of peas to the acre. If
sown early the fodder may be cut
for soiling cows or horses in May
or June, and 4 succession for con
tinuous use may be sown every
two weeks until early in May. Roll
the ground after sowing so that the
crop may be cut with a mower,
which may be easily done, as the
oats support the peas and prevent
lodging.

A Great Farmers Maxims.

The successful life of Mr.. Jacot
Strawn, the prince of American
farmers, is attributed to the close
observation to the following max.
inns, originated by himself:
Make your fences high and strong
so that it will keep cattle and pigs
out. If you have brush make your
lots secure, and keep your hogs
from the corn.
Be sure to get your hands to bed
b. s o'clock-they will rise early by
force of circumstances.
Pay q hand if he is a poor hand
all you promise him; if he is a good
one little more; it will encourage
him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as well
as you do yourselves; for the labor
ing men are the bone and sinew OF
the land, and ought to be well
treated.
1 am satisfied that getting up
early, industry and regular habits
are the best medicine ever pre-
scribed for health.
When rainy, bad weather comes
so that you can't work out of doors,
cut, split and haul your wood; make
your racks; fix your fence or gate,
and patch the roof of your barn or
house.
Study your own interest closely
and do not spend your time in elect
ing Presidents, Governors and other
smaller officers, or talk of hard
times and spend your time in whit
Ting store boxes.

A Young Farmers Letter.

am just 10 years old and have
saved $500. Iwant to tell the boys
and girls among your readers how
I have done it. When / was about
ten years old my father gave
me four eve lambs that were left
without mother, and said l might
have them and their increase for
five years, and then he would see
about further arrangements. l got
IS for the wool next season, and
they all had eve lambs, making s
sheep at the close of the second
year. The wool brought me SIS
that year, and the increase left me
with Is sheep. This was stocking
the farm pretty heavy, father said,
but he didn't object. 1 sold father
my twenty eight sheep, and my
WOO. money, with interest money,
makes SS5. / sold five fat lambs
for $15. which makes 500, and l
have fathers note for that. The
sheep sold father for $50, making
$3.50. Three years ago father gave
me a calf, which sold last year for
$50; l have fathers note for that
That makes $3.50. Four years ago
father gave me colt, and it turned
out to be splendid horse. Father
sold him III Pittsburg yesterday for
$500, and gave me his note for that
amount. That makes $3.50. Iplant
ed and raised two acres of corn, all
alone, last year, and cleared $40 on
it, but $50 of it / took to buy a new
suit, leaving me altogether $500.
To-day father took all the notes l
had, and gave me one note for $500,
at ten per cent. interest. So yon
see it brings me $50 year. Some
boy may say, Your father gave 1t
all to you; you didn't make it."
This is true partly; but l made the
most. out of my chances. Father
says he might as well have given it
in one way as another. and thinks
this way will do the most good. He
says he don't see but what he is as
well off as though he hadn't given
me anything. 1t will be six years
yet before l am twenty one, and 1
want to have $1,000 to start on, and
think 1 can make it Oscar Brand

There is more significance in the
shape and style of hats, and the way
in which hats are worn, than peo-
pie imagine. When a man is pros
porous he likes to wear a jaunty
looking hat with a turned up brim.
If he goes a counting. or makes a
successful strike on Change, he
cocks that hat upon three hairs,
and passes his fingers energetically
through his best assortment of shin
gle. Who ever saw broken down
man with turned up brim, or a
rogue with anything but a slouched
hat of the turn down pattern. The
fashion for fall hats this year
would seem to indicate depression,
the rims resembling a soup plate
turned upside down. Although
times are looking up, such was not
the case when the inventor of this
new design sat gazing abstractedly
at the hats of other days. This
soup platey-,ooking helmet will
soon, we trust, give place to an up
ward slope, to a more cheerful style
of roof, which viii enable man to
look the world and his creditors
square in the face.--IRter Ocean.

Purified Love.

All men and women must love
something. If our thoughts are
pure we love birds, flowers, and all
beautiful things. In their contem-
plation we are happy, and there
comes to our brain steady strength
1t is such a rest from labor to look
upon the fragrant flowers placed
each morning upon our desk-to
hear our pet canary sing his round
clay of welcome-to behold evil
dences of thrift and neatness all
about, as these children of order
and system reward the sences. 1t
is related OF man that he called
his wife, who was a hundred pounds
heavier than he, his little darling
his petite pet. People smiled at him
because they did not understand his
actuations. He had a warm trust
ing loving heart, a great, manly
love all about the object of that
love, and so she was his little pet,
his darling. We are like chame
Icons, and color as we feed mentally.
If we love the beautiful, we are
happy. If we love the coarse, the
vulgar, the objects or influences
that give no sweet return, life be-
comes a blank, the soul cracks and
shrinks into a bundle of nailrods
to lacerate the mental man, and we
are on the direct road to ruin,

Eggs-Eow Increased.

II an increase of eggs be desired
in the poultry yard, before large
sums of money ara expended in the
purchase of everlasting layers, We
recommend the system OF keeping
no hens after the first, or at the
most their second year. Early
pullets give the increase. and the
only wonder is that people persist,
as they do, in keeping up stock of
old hens, which lay one day and
stop the next In some parts OF
Europe it is the invariable rule to
keep the pullets only one year.
Feeding will do a great deal-a sur
prising work indeed-in the produc-
ton OF eggs, but not when OH hens
are concerned; they may put on fat
but they cannot put down eggs
Their tale is told, their work is
ever; nothing remains to be done
with them bnt to give them smell
Of the kitchen fire, and the sooner
they get that the better. OF course
there are some old varieties whose
life ought to be spared as long IS
they can send forth their represent
atives. Judicous mating-oy which
we mean The advantage Of compare
lively youthful coekeEal-may BE
the means Of even exhibition
poultry making their appearance
from the eggs OF the good old hen,
and here we have the exception TO
the rule upon which we insist -

! Personal attractions most girls
possess--at any rate in a sufficient
degree to render them attractive to
somebody, for although there are
standards of beauty, yet these do
not prevail with all persons. There
is something wonderful in the diff
ference of aspect which the same
face wears to different bcholdeIs S.
Probably the philosophical explana
ton of this is that what is hidde
from all others becomes immediate
ly and instinctively apparent to the
eve of love. How can a moderately
good looking girl increase her at
traction? BY culture. She must
cultivate her mind. An ignorant,
iiliterate woman, even if she at
tracts attention cannot retain the
interest of any intelligent man. She
must do this by reading, by study,
by reflection and by familiar con
versation with the best and most
highly educated persons with whom
she comes IN contact But the
heart must be cultivated as well as
the head. "Of all things" ex-
claimed a most elegant and refined
gentleman, after nearly a hfetime's
familiarity with the best society,"
''of all things give me a softness
and gentlenesS in 4 woman" a
harsh voice, a coarse laugh, tribes
like these have suddenly spoiled
many favorable first impression.
The cultivation of the heart must
be real not feigned. \ woman ths,t
studies TO appear rather than be
good and generous seldom succeeds /
in deceiving the other sex in these 1
respects. She who in truth, seeks 4
earnestly TO promote the happiness
Of those around her is very ap. to
obtain admirers among men.
Above all other requisites in \ NO
man is conscientiousneSS. With
put this one touchstone of eharae-
Ter, no matter what her charms and
she cannot expect to
the lasting regards OF
my man whose love is worth hav
ng.

FALSE Morality.

Never teach false morality. How
exquisitly absurd to tell girls that
beauty is of no value-dress of no
use! Beatty is of value. Her whole
prospects and happiness in life may
often deyend upon a new gown or
q becoming bonnet; and if she has
five grains OF common sense, she
will find this out. The great thing
is to teach her their just value, and
that their must be something better
under the bonnet than pretty face
for real happiness. But never sac
rifice truth.

People cannot help being born
without tact; but there are occa
sions when it is almost impossible
to be quite charitable to a tactless
person. Yet people who have no
tact deserve pity. They are almost
always doing or saying something
to get themselves into disgrace, or
which does them an injury. They
make enemies where they desire to
conciliate, and get a reputation for
i'll nature which they do not deserve.
They are also continually doing
other people harm, treading on met
aphorical corns, opening the cup
boards where family skeletons are
kept, angering people, shaming peo-
pie, saying and doing the most awk-
ward things, and apoligizing for
them with a still more terrible
bluntness. If there is a social boon
more to be desired than another it
is tact; for without tact the career
of the richest, the ablest, and most
beautiful is often utterly marred.
