The Progressive Farmer.

The progressive farmer is he who
looks forward with pleasure to that
which planted now may in the fu.
ture yield him fit return for his
trouble and toll, whose horizon is
not bounded by the planting and
sowing of mere annual crops. He
breods stock not only with a view
to the natural increase, but at the
Same time with intelligent efforts to
make il better and better, year by
year; He builds sheds aud barns
for their comfort. These again he
shelters with belts and groves, if he
already has them not. He plants
orchards and cares for them. His
gardens as we'll ss his farm is a mod
oil of neatness. 1t is true he is not
found in the corner grocery, nor en-
ployed in mere gossip in the village
streets. He is generally found al
home-when not away on business
reading, studying, seeking pleas.
uro in thinking how best he may in
troduce some added convenience for
the comfort OF his family or the good
of his stock. 1t is this class of men
who are gradually coming to see the
Importance of timber planting as
one OF the means to the greatest
success. These will vet come to
know that ten to fifteen per cent. OF
their farms planted to belts, as pro.
lection, will add fully twenty five
per cent. to the productive capacity
of their farms. Thus their growing
timber, if OF the right varieties,
while it is adding to the productive
ness Of their fields, will besides give
an added value to their farms at the
end of ten years of fully twent- five
per cont. more. Meanwhile the
trimmings from the timber will fully
compensate for the Tabor expended
in the cultivation. Thus while they
will have left most valuable legacy
to their heirs, they will have made
themselves and their families DOM
Portable during their lives.

Sea Air and Mountain AR.

The sea air acts more rapidly, the
mountain air more slowly; the sea air
gives a more vigorous appetite, com.
pels larger amount of food, stimn.
lates the digestion more powerfully,
and increases the bodily weight in a
perceptible degree in q short time,
while mountain air acts in all these
respects as more subtle stimulant I;
sea air pre-supposes robust, assimila-
tive functions /; mountain air exerts its
gentle influence also gu tue atomic and
catarrhal conditions of the gastro.in-
testinal canal. Sea air demands a
certain robust integrity of other func-
tons, especially of the heart and
lungs. Mountain air, on the other
hand, exerts it's general beneficial in.
fuence also on natures which suffer in
this respect from weakness with in
creased irritabllity. The sea air over
powers persons affected with irritable
weakness, while the mountain air has
calming and indirectly strengthen.
ing effect upon them. In general the
choice between sea and mountain air
is regulated not by the name Of the
sickness, but by the individual charac-
ter of the sick Individuality. Braun.

Attend to Business.


Nothing but ultimate ruin stares
that farmer in the face who does not
pay personal attention to all the most
minute details of his farm. There are
a thousand small leaks about the NAM
agement of an ordinary farm, that if
not closely attended to will surely
bring the most hard-working farmer
to ruin aud bankruptcy. -tenths
of the sinking farmers can attribute
their present distress to no other
cause than lack of close attention to
the small details OF the farm closer
supervision of machinery and tools,
the stock and their feed, place for
everything and everything in its
place. No one is as much interested
in attending to these details IS the
boss. Such course will in a few
months or year or two at most, en-.
able many farmers who are now on
the down grade to again begin to as
cend. If heroically persevered in it
will surely make Roadway against
what now looks hopeless. a fear of
sunburnt hands and face, dirty clothes
and boots, and a desire to have a
reputation that he does not work on
the farm, has been fruitful source OF
loss to many farmers. A course oil
this kind once entered on will be hard
to depart from.-Fdrm and Ftreside

Jimcrax's Agricultural Views.

AS you SOW, SOW shall you reap.
just SOW.
Deadbeats should be buried as
soon as they turnup.
To improve his farm the farmer
must stir his stumps.
Potatoes and children need sprout-
ing occasionally. Some folks peel
them every day.
Don't ride horse to death. It
would make you sore and lame for
week afterward.
Bald-headed butter still brings the
biggest price, notwithstanding the
fact that hair hes riz.
IT dried apples are allowed to hang
by the fire too long, the worms are
liable to shrivel up and drop ont.
Don't pay 81 900 for q sheep when
the same sort of mutton is selling for
ten cents pound.
Show US a model farmer and wen
bet ten to one that his front yard
isn't filled with agricultural impIe-
ments. Not an imp in his front
yard.
Ii some farmers would take as
good care of their crops as q ben
does OF hers they would do we'll
enough.
There is nothing better calculated
to preserve brotherly love among
neighbors than fence between them
that cows can't jump over or pigs
crawl under.-Lo,oell Journal.

Wa have, says the Rural World
in former years again and again
urged farmers to pack and cure and
prepare for market their own pork.
The combinations among the city
packers this winter to pay only very
low prices for pork makes i. very
important that farmers should kill
and cure their own hogs. It is true
last year the packers paid good
prices and lost money. But this
year they have combined to pay low
prices and make money. They in
tend 10 make up the losses of last
year and double the money they i'm
vest this year besides. Now, if farm
ers can kill and cure hogs as we'll as
men ia the city can, when the pork
is sold they will double their money
too. What one man can do another
can do. IF one man can cure pork
well in the city, another man in the
country can cure It equally well
But he must try to qualify himself
to do it. He must talk with those
who have good success in curing
meat, and draw out all the informa-
ton he can He must read every
thing he can find on the subject. He
must make the proper arrangements
at home for doing it we'll. he must
cut and trim his bacon nicely. he
must keep it neat and in good order.
He must not have it too ss!t or too
fresh. He must get good recipe
and try it, and his own experience
may induce him to modify it some
what in future operations. He must
talk with his neighbors, watch their
practices, and perfect himself in the
business, and cure his pork as we'll
as any other man, and no can sell his
as we'll. When market day comes,
If the city packer makes money, he
makes it too. IF the city packer
loses money, he does not. because be
has produced. not bought, his hogs
and well-oured pork will sell at
paying prices always. Good pork
always buys work on the farm.
1t always BUYS goods at the store
in town or city. 1t always COM
mands money, because people must
eat. The better the quality the bet
ter the price, the more easily it is
sold. It is the best that pays best.
Put up your own hogs. Don't send
them to the city and nearly give
them away. Deduct shipping ex-
peDses. commission, ETC., and but lit.
tie is left. Put up st home, and you
have what will command money all
the time.

Cacao or Cocoa.

This article is the roasted seed of
the fruit of the theobroma, chocolate
plant, an evergreen tree producing
flowers and fruits at all seasons Of
the year. OF this tree many varieties
are found, forming forests in the West
Indies and Sauth America. The CO.
Goa tree (cacao) is ten to twenty feet
in height bears fruit resembling
a short cucumber, containing ten to
forty beans embedded in q sweet
pulp much admired for food.
The beans are separated from the
pulp, dried in the sun, and prepared
in various ways for sale. The skin of
the beans is removed and known as
"shells." The cacao bean of com.
MERGE is brittle, has dark brown
color and an astringent an2 bitter
taste. 1t is prepared for use by roast.
ing it until the aroma is developed.
This process renders it more brittle
and less astringent and bitter than
when raw. 1t is often sent to market
in this condition, or the beans may be
shelled, crushed to fragments and
form the cacao nibs of trade. or they
may be ground and converted into an
adhesive paste by means of hot rollers
and seasoned with the vanilla bean.
This bean contains the elements of
nutrition to high degree. In it are
found gluten, tat and sugar. 1t yields,
by proper preparation of the nutri.
tious properties of milk. 1t possesses
a peculiar principle resembling the
theme Of tea and the oofFeine Of cof-
fee. This principle is white SUBJ
stance of a slightly bitter taste. 1t is
richer in nitrogen than the theme of
tea and therefore more nutritious.
This principle is "theobromine. The
ingredient that distinguishes cacao
from tea and coffee is fatty matter,
known as cacao butter, said to be
equal to one-half the shelled bean in
weight. This large percentage of
butter renders the cacao rich article
OF food and may render it unfit for
some stomachs and may Justify the
addition of so much starch and other
ingredients and fragrant seasonings
usually ground With the roasted bean
IN the manufacturing of chocolate. 1t
contains large percentage of starch
and gluten, constituents of our most
nutritious vegetable food. 1t contains
IL per cent. of gluten, Sc per cent. of
oil and 20 of starch; so that it is very
rich in the nutritious principles of or
binary food. 1t has more fat than
milk possesses, and it's elements of
theobromine and volatile oil render it
IN some cases more valuable to
human growth and strength than
milk or beet tea. 1t unites in itself
the exciting properties Of tea and life
sustaining properties of milk. Milk is
rich in caseine, cacao in fat. The two
combined must contribute TO the
health and growth of those who can
digest them. Mixing the ground Ca
Gao with sugar, starch and -four, as is
the oecao paste or chocolate may be
digestible by nearly all.

The HERALD.
Control of Children.

The true solution of this problem
is to be found in single aphorism
perhaps az q truism character alone
can produce character. Teaching,
governing. Furnishing, are useful chief
ly if not exclusively, because they are
methods by which the stronger
character impresses itself upon the
weaker. The power OF tue pulpit is
the personal power Of the preacher.
The secret of reform is in the teach.
or, not in his rules. The parents,
not their rules, make the child. For
children are in the first place nstur-
al imitators.
Going in to the library the other
day, we found the youngest member
of the household busy with pencil
and paper at the desk. "Don't dis
turb me-" said he solemnIy, 81 am
busy editing my paper" A few
weeks later we happened in at the
shop of Q neighbor. He was build
ing shell. His boy of eight was
at work with knife and bit OF
shingles also boat building. Princi-
pies, sentiments, habits of thought
no less than methods of action, de-
eoend from parent to child. The boy
is an ardent partisan as soon as he
oan speak, and hurrahs for Hayes or
Tilden, as the case raay be, before he
can, quite pronounce the names. 1t
is generally safe to say that the
child reproduces the faults of his
parents, or, to speak more generally,
those Of his older companions, Some.
times it 10 nurse, or aunt. or grand
mother, that the listle child mines.
Mirror some one he almost always
does. If the child is little liar, be
very sure that there is somewhere o
big liar under the same roof. If he
is self wilIed, wstoh for obstinancy
10 your own lite.
In the long run character produces
character. Purity, truth, fidelity,
courage, love, in the mothers heart,
will beget q brood of like virtues in
the children. This was the secret Of
the Puritan's training. 1t is q mar
vel that 1t is still secret to 30
many. The Puritan did not spare
the rod and therefore, it is thought
ho did not spoil tho child. But it
was not the rod that drove foolish
ness out of the Puritan children.
Whatever may have been the faults
OF the Puritans, want Of earnestness
was not one of them. They were
good lovers they were admirable
baters. One text of Scripture they
thoroughly believed in. "Abhor that
which is evil" They hated a mean,
q oowardly, dispioable action, with
all the strength of stalwart and
and noble natures. II was this gen.
erous hatred of all the vermiouIar
vices that belong to a luxurious age
which was the potent influence in
driving these vices from the hearts
nd lives of their children. 1t would
ave been just as eficacious without
the rod as with it; was just as effica.
cieus in hundreds of familias where
the rod was unk own, as in thou.
sands where it was kept in constant
and vigorous exercise. - Christian

III The little ,,anctaotnr;no tovn ~

In the little manufacturing town OF
Queechy, VT, has arrived . new
brood of cats. They made their FIRST
appearance last spring. Several old
family cats, all of them quite aged,
gave births tc litters of Kittens ST q
very peculiar appearance. They were
long haired, with large legs aud long
claws aud very heavy tails. One
specimen of each litter was raised so
as to see the freak of nature in matur-
ity. at six months age they are very
large. Some of them are striped like
lion, others are quite black. The
fur is from three to six inches in
length ali over the body; a tuft of
long hair rims the ears. The head is
like that of any cat except the eyes of
all OF them have frightened look. At
the neck the fur stands out like q
wide ruffle, the tail is covered with
long fur and would perhaps measure
six inches in circumference. All of
them are very active, and will spring
from the floor to the top Of q room
eight or nine feet with perfect ease.
When frightened they are disposed to
turn and show fight, and will not per-
NIT much petting.

Just 2l0 years ago Robert Hooke,
fellow OF the royal society, published
a work entitled aMicrographia; or,
