Farm Life.

Old farmers are apt to think that the
times are degenerating, and that farm
life is by no means what it used to be.
Perhaps not; but many of the changes
which have taken place on the farm are
The most disconnected
farmer who lives would not like to go
back to the "good old times" when all
the family ate in the kitchen, with the
food served up on a bare table in an
earthen dish from which all partook in
common, or that other little more styl-
ish mode-a pewter platter-with lease
knives" and iron forks. Pot-luck and
bean porridge made very substantial
dinner, and fried pork answered for
breakfast, but we must say that we like
Fean earthen or china plate better
wooden trencher saturated with
Sc. Then, again, there is a pleasant
re in the style Of equipage. We
mot go back to the times, if we
' when farmers rode to church on
\ bbath in the same old lumber
with which they got out manure
{ Z the week, and this without much
ing. Neither have we any banker
3. FOR ride after the poky, long-neck-
ed, high-ribbed angular-built, mongrel
horses Of the olden time. A board seat
il. springless wagon, and horse that
requires constant whipping to keep him
on a dog-trot may be very good for the
dyspepsia, but there is more exhilara-
ton and less loss of time with fleet
roadster before light vehicle that does
not rattle like a stage coach and has
some elasticity in its cushions and
springs At the same time, young
America has no right to keep fast horses
on the farm. They are luxury which
none but the rich can afford. Beside
their first cost, their care and keeping
are enough to frighten the average
farmer The fast horse may have bis
pace in the world, but that place is not
on the farm He can neither pillow nor
now, and will seldom be permitted to
take the wife and children out to ride.
All such service is for mental animals.
The trotter might get stiffened by work.
There is no investment more uncertain
than that in fast horses. And now what
SHALL we say about the girls who try to
be fashionable on the farm, and sail
about in pull-back dresses and with
fnzzled hair? Criticising girls is ticklisb
business; but at all events, let these and
other fashionable follies be confined to
women who have nothing else to do but
dress. We expect better things of
farmers wives and daughters. TO them
lie is earnest, and not butterfly ex-
iaence. The mission of the farmer is
to till the soil and multiply the comforts
Ct life, and in this he needs the co-ope-
ntion of his wife and daughters, who
should be helpmeets rather than pull
backs.

She Didn't.

AT 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon a
young man with very white eyes, and a
girl of Is, with very long curls, stood to-
gether on the City Hall tower to gaze
upon the beautiful panorama below In
a minute or two the girl began to feel
giddy, and as the sensation increased
she cried out:

New Trout Fields.

Many fine open parks are found on
the summit @of the Big Horn range.
These are many miles in extent, well
watered, and are the very best of sum-
mer grazing. On the Crow trail, which
emerges from the mountains at Tongue
river are several beautiful lakes These
are exactly on the top of the mountain
range, and their waters are deliciously
clear and cold, yielding mountain-trout
in the greatest abundance. These
mountain lakes and streams would de-
light the lover of piscatorial pursuits.
With these fondness for rest is a virtue,
and, as the fish of these waters have
ravenous appetites, frequently Selling
the bare hook, the field is exceptionally
good as the labor of batting might be
almost entirely dispensed with, and, sit
ting in a single spot, a sack might be
filled with speckled beauties.

The Grand Rapids Times says: Thursday
while Henry F. Mccormick, of the town
ofGrand Rapids, was splitting an oak log.
he came across a cavity, in which he
discovered the head Of frog embedded
in the wood. The frog appeared quite
lively upon his sudden exposure to the
sunlight, and Mr.. Mccormick took es-
pecial pains to chip away the wood be-
tween the the balance of his frogship
and daylight, when he discovered that
the frog had been partially swallowed by
a snake of some two feet in length, and
what is still more singular, the snake
was petrified, and that portion of the
frog inside of the reptile was also petri-
fed, although the protruding portion
was lively and vigorous. However mir
aculous this may seem, it is vouched for
by some Of the best men in the county.
