CO-OpcraIiVe stores.

A recent English pamphlet on the
subject Of Cooperative Stores closes as
follows:
Co operation aims at a nObler object
than the mere purchase Of pure goods at
reduced cost, though it Is, no doubt, a
good thing in itself that it should destroy
the temptation to fraud by means Of the
adulteratiOn of goods and the use OF
short weights, and should enable the
earnings OF the poor to 90 little farther
in purchasing the neccssaries Of life.
You should be careful to take power in
your rules to assign a portion Of your
profits to educational purposes, which,
perhaps, can be best carried into effect
in village by providing reading reere-
alton room, or in making all your mem
bers, whether they desire it or not,
members Of some existing village instI-
tute Of the kind. But Cooperation aims
at the moral, still more than at the intel
Iectual, culture Of mankind. 1t finds
men eminently selfish, and adrOitly avaiis
itself of this condition, beginning by
showing that it is to the direct money
interest Of the individual to join a Co OPP
erative Store. But ere long the newly
joined member learns, by experience, per
haps rather than precept, that his par
ticular interest is not only not adverse,
but of necessity coincident with that of
every other member. The more he con
centrates his purchases on his store, the
larger Is his dividend at the quarters end;
Dut every additional shilling which he
laws out is a direct benefit to every other
member, by helping quick turn over of
the stock. He will probably learn, too,
that there is direct money value in har
mOny and in union among the mem bers,
and that these are best promoted by
candor by courtesy in word and deed,
by retaining from the imputation Of
evil motives, it there be not certain
ground for 50 doing. He may unfortu
nately learn, if on the committee, that
sloth and moral cowardice, when deal
ing with the funds Of others, may be
social crime. He will assuredly not re
gard aduteration as form of competi-
ton, but will probably learn to place
those who make money by adulteration.
short weight, by lying prospestuses, in
the same class Of mankind rs common
thieves. He will consider that no gener-
osity in ostentatious subscriptions to
charities and churches will cover the
guilt of fraud. He will cease to look up
to smart practice in trade as a virtue; to
find any merit in buying in the cheapest
and selling in the dearest market; to
worship Mammou. He may learn from
cooperation that trading transactions are
not Incompatible with the moral maxims
of Christianity, that it is possible to at
tain to magnificent success in them
without any attempt to drive a hard bar
gain with your neighbor, and that from
the very constitution of a Cooperative
Society it is your direct interest to ''do

NSatermeIon~ as Food.

The watermelon STANDS perhaps only
second in public estimation 10 the cucum-
Der FORTS bad effects as an article Of food.
Like all other traditional opinions there
are some grains Of truth in the belief.
Melons picked before they are ripe, and
transported by rail hundreds of miles,
and then allowed to lie in the store or on
the sidewalk until they are mellow,
are undoubtedly among the most vicious
of fruits that can be taken into the stom-
ach. Allowed to ripep on the vines,
picked early in the morning, and kept
cool until eaten, there is no fruit of its
season more gratifying to the taste, or
more healthful to the system. Like the
tomato they are mild aperent, but may
be eaten literally every day, not only
with no i'll results, but with decided ben
eft. 1t is said Of the Egyptians, that
during the season of ripening, the water
melon is IA regular article of diet for the
poorer classes In all the oriental coun-
tries, and especially in Persia, they are
cultivated with the most assiduous care,
and freely eaten by all classes. The only
reason why they are in so i'll repute here,
where the soil and climate are entirely
natural to them, can be from no other
cause than the one mentioned, that of be-
ing stale before they are eaten.
In this respect the farmer need have
no fear They can have them fresh and
in perfection, and may eat them morning,
noon and night, not only with immunity,
but with decided benefit to the health.
But like any other ripe fruit or vegetable
they should be eaten judiciously. That
is, the somach should not be glutted. If
eaten daily during their season and in
moderate quantities, We consider them
the peer of the tomato, not only in the
promotion of health, but, as among the
most valuable of fruits, in keeping the
system clear of those bilious disorders
incident to our climate, and which are
often intensified by an irregular indul-
gence of those fruits and vegetables,
which all farmers should, but unfortu
nately do not raise for themselves.

THE WOMAN AND THE ROSE,
BY JAMES STEWART.

Fair Flora on the terrace stands
With grace in ev'ry pose,
Green leaves OF myrtle, in her hands,
Crowned by one bright red rose.
Ofhuman kind what may transcend
That maid whose check red giows?
In rlorl worlds what can contend
la beauty with the rose?
Prc-emi1ent each in their way
They traits in life expose,
Closely allied Ia thei- dismav.
This woman and the rose.
They are both tender. sweet and fair,
They blush as they disclose
Woman charms, so cha~te, 50 rare,
Charms so chastc the rose.
Two lives thus blest, by love imbued,
one color on them glows,
And nature stamps simiIiJude
On woman and the rose.
As eirlhood buds To woman grown,
And bud to flower blows;
Blooms woman where most love is shown
Most love where blooms the rose.
Thus a. they bloom mans life to cheer,
Their summer comes and goes;
Though woman counts hers by the year,
BY days but counts the rose,
In their decay one germ remains,
The source Of all their woes;
In woman this the face explains,
In fading this the rose.
And when at last LIES race is run,
Funeral rites impose
Sad tributes 20 and from each one
The woman and the rose.
How fitting then in deaths dark trust
one grave should DER them close,
And there should miu2le the sweet dust
OF womnn and the rose.

Oats vs.. Corn Tor Live stock.

Concerning this subject, DIR. james,
the commissioner OF agriculture, of Geor-
gia, writes as follows
Taking into consideration the cost of
production, the chemical analysis and the
comparative freedom from stealage, oats
are cheaper as stock food than corn. One
bushel or 56 pounds Of corn costs IS
cents, while one bushel, or 81 pounds of
oats costs % cents, making a difference
of 3 cents in the cost of one hundred
pounds of the two. Chemical ANALYSIS
shows that oats contain twelve per cent.
of albuminoids, or flesh and muscle pro-
ducing principle while corn contains ter
per cent. 1t will thus be seen that for
work animals. oats are more valuable than
corn as food when equal weights are used.
Consider, now. that one hundred pounds
of oats costs - cents less than one hun
dred pounds of corn, and the case stands
decidedly in favor of oats for work stock.
In fat producing properties corn has
seven per cent, oats SIX per cent. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that when equal
weights only are compared, corn has the
advantage as fat-producer. But taking
the cost in consideration, there is no
choice in this respect. Another decided
advantage of oats for our climate, and
especially for summer use is, that while
they supply more muscle, they are less
heating and facilitating to the work ami
NAL consuming them. Still another ad-
vantage is freedom from rotten grain and
weevil, which frequently causes corn to
iniure stock. Still another item in favor
of oats is that freedmen donot eat them,
nor can they so rapidly sell them when
stolen. This corresponds with The fact
that ninety six per cent. of the CORES
pondents report that cotton cannot be
raised at profit ON bought supplies
Eighty four per cent. say that cotton can
be raised at present prices on supplies
made at home This Is readily under |
stood. in. view Of the fact, that bought
cOrn and oats cost from two to three times
"a much as home made that, as reported
by correspondents, only forty seven per |
cent. of a home supply of pork is raised |
n the State, and that while it costs an
average of sixty dollars per head TO raise
a mule or horse on the farm, 81, 600, 600
were-exDended last season in their pur
chase from droves, at an average cost per
head of more than twice the cost OF raIs-
inc them. Notwithstanding this enor-
~ ans annual outlay in horses and mules
and the fact that it costs only sixty dollars
to raise them to three years old, only SIX

The Peach sSOrer.

There are two kinds of borer which at
tack the peach. One IS species OF
iepidopterd, allied to the moth known as
4Eqeria eritiosa. (Say.) This lays its
eggs all through the summer. from June
to October, in the lower part of the stems
of peach trees. The other is beetle
known as Baprestis dirarieata, which de-
pests its eggs during June, July and
August The best time to examine the
trees is in the fall and spring, and
through the summer the parts exposed to
attack should be protected by a roll of
stiff paper tied around them from two
inches below the ground to eight inches
above it.

that in quantity and qualify combined
The next plant IN regard to quantity of
