Facts for The Farmers.

1t is worth while for all farmers,
everywhere, to remember that tho.
rough culture is better than three
mortgages on the farm.
That an offensive war against the
weeds is five times less expensive
than a defensive one.
That good fences always pays
better than lawsuit with neigh
bors.
That hay is great a deal cheaper
made in summer that purchased in
winter. .....
That more stock perish from fam
inc than founder.
That a horse that lays ears back,
and looks tightening when any one
approaches, is vicious.
That scrimping the feed of fal:en.
ing hogs is a waste of grain.
That educating children properly
is money lent ut ten per cent.
That one evening spent at home
in study is more profitable than ten
spent in lounging around saloons
and tayerns.
The COWS should be milkca regu-
lar. and clean.

Excellent Varnish for Harness

Procure at the druggists or apoth-
ecary's store half pound or a
pound of gum shellac, according to
the quantity desired break the
scales fine, and put them into a jug
or bottle add good alcohol sufficient
to covmthe gum cork tightly and
place the jug where it will be kept
warm. In about two, days, if the
bottle or jug is shaken frequently.
the gum will be dissolved and ready
for use. If tn, liquid appears as
thick as thin mclasses, add more
alcohol. TO one quart of varnish
add one ounce of good lampblack.
and an ounce of gum camphor
Such varnish will no! render harness
hard {; but it will keep the harness
from being soaked with water, and
it will keep the surface clean and
neat for a long time. \ coat of
such varnish will effectually prevent
the oil in the leather from spelling
ones hands. Nothing is better to
render farmers boots waterproof
than an occasional coat of this
leather yarnisb.

WORDS or WISDOM.

Consistency is virtue, but obst'nacy
is not.
He that helpeth an evil man, hurteth
him that is good.
Truth of word, meekness. courtesy,
mercy and liberty stir up affection.
What we win BY prayer, We must
wear with praise.
The power of God, and not the devil.
is to be feared.
Modesty and humility make up the
brightest crown Of great performances.
Voltairc once wrote to friend; II
hate life, and yet l am afraid to die"
lie that hath God, hath all things !;
and he that hath him not, hath nothing.
True self-denial is harsh at the be-
ginning, easy in the middle, and most
sweet in the end.
lie that is desperately inclined to his
will, is ever most nsar to the wrath OF
God.
1t is an evidence Of great hardness TO
be more concerned about our sufferlngs
than our sins.
lie that prssumeth to understand
everything, is thought to be ignorant in
all things.
Love reposcs at the bottom Of pure
souls like drop Of dew in the chalice
ola flower.
1t is only VIXEN we resolve by the aid
ofa higher strength, and stand deter
mincdly upon that resolution. that we
succeed.
Patience is always crowned with sue
cess. This rule is without an exception.
1t may not be splended success, but
patience never takes anything in hand
that it docs not succeed with in some
form.
Gods goodness is shown us every
dav. He makes the rain and sunshine,
and the grain to grow, giving "seed to
the sower and bread to the eater He
blesses us with health and life; and tor
all these we should be thankful to Him.

shing to give thanks uutS the Lord"

,ynfOrmation for Cotton Growers.

In examining cotton do not allow
yourselves to be deceived by a fine
growth. If more than one kind of
cotton is planted, find out which
grows its limbs closest on the stalk
and forms closest on the limbs. Figs
a-e not gathered from thistles,
neither is cotton gathered from
stalk or leaf, but from bolls. 1t is
liberal boiling cotton You Want.
and not liberal grower. | will try
to demonstrate this, your land
contains q sufficient quantity of the
chemical elements to grow a certain
quantity of vegetable matter. Now
if these elements are exhausted, or
nearly So, in making wcel there
must necessarily follow dearth Of
fruit. Per contra-with only a
reasonable portion Of these elements
are taken up by medium growth,
the large balance left goes towards
making and fully developing fruit.
You may think this cannot be
controlled. My experience tells me
that it can be by proper manuring
and careful selection Of seed. BY
careful selection for several years |
have succeeded in developing &
cotton that matured almost to the
last form upon land that gave me a
yield, the same year. Of two bales
to the acre. / mention tho yield to
show the land was in good life. Upon
such land cotton ordinarily is ex-
pected to grow until check ed by frost.
When this is -tbe-esse, of-eearse- a
very large part of the forms (Which
make az long as the cotton continues
to grow are lost, and consequently
you have not derived the full benefit
of the chemical elements your land
contains.-Erchange.

Make the Horse Work.

Z Horses were designed as beasts of
burden, to felieve mankind from 'fa-
tiguiny drudgcry. 1t does not hurt
them to work hard, if they are
treated kindly. 1t is, not the hard
drawing and pondcrous loads that
wear out thorses and make them poor,
balky, and worthless but it is the
hard driving, the worry by rough
and inhuman drivers. that uses up
more horse flesh, fat and muscle
than all the labor the team performs.
Consider the pohderous loads that
many teams are required to cart
every day, and several times day,
and vet they appear to grow fatter
and stronger every year. They are
treated kindly. On the other hand,
other horses that do not perform
half the labor soon grow poor, and
give out, and the next We hear Of
,hem they die with the harness on.
Hard work does not kill them but
the worrying, fretting, ard abuse
did the job.
Horses will do all the moving and
reaping on large farm, thresh the
grain. pitch the hay, turn the grind
stone, saw the wood, and perform al
most all the heavy labor that far
mers have been accustomed to do
and grow fat if they are not worried
and ierked and kicked about as i
they we're a living football.-N. Y

SpraiIlS.

Between the bones Of the ankle
and the wrist there are muscles.
When by accident these are drawn
out of their places, what We call a
sprain is produced. When enc is
aware that he has suffered this sre"
cies of arrangement, the first thing
to be done is to keep the part injur-
ed perfectly still, and by no means
use it in the least. The muscles left
to themselves will return to their
places gradually. Hops stepped in
vinegar and applied hot to the in.
.jured part will quiet the anguish and
restore wholcness. Butmorc impor.
tant than any application is perfect
quiet.

WHO WILL MEET ME FIRST.

Who will NEE: me first in heaven,
When that blissful realm gain;
When the hands have ceased from toiling'
And the heart hath ceased from pain;
When the last farewell is spoken,
Severed, the last tender tie,
And know how sweet. how solemn,
And how blest il is to die.
As my barque glides DER the waters
OF that cold and silent stream.
/ shall sec the dcmes CT temples
In the distance brightly beam
Temples of that beanteous city
From all guilt and sorrow free;
Who, above its golden portals.
First will haste to welcome me
Who will greet me first in glory?
(Oft the earnest thought wilt rise
missing on the unknown wonders
OF that home beyond the skies,l
Who will be my heavenly mentor!

Or an angel from the countless
Myriads of that word Of light!
No, not, these for they have never

They who walked with me lift's pathway
From my soul by death were riven,

Cut This Out.

Every person should know how to
treat flesh wound, because one is
liable to be placed in circumstances
away from surgical and veterinary
aid, where he may save his own life,
the life Of friend or of beast, simply
by the exercise of little common
sense. In the first place close the
lips of the wound with the hands and
hold them firmly together to check
the flow of blood until several stitches
can be taken and a bandage applied,
Then bathe the wound for a long
iii e IN cold water. "Should it be
painful" a correspondent says, take
a painful OF burning Goals and
sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar and hold the wounded part in
the smoke. In a minute or two the
pain will be allayed, and the recov-
cry proceeds rapidly. In my case
rusty nail had made bad wound
in my foot. The pain and nervous
irritation were severe. This was all
removed by holding it in smoke fif-
teen minutes, and | was able to re-
sumo my reading in comfort. We
have often recommended it to others
with like result. Last week one of
my men had fingernail torn off by
a pair Of ice>tongs. 1t became very
painful; as was to be expected. Held
in sugar smoke twenty minutes the
pain ceased and promised speedy re.
covcry."

The Pip in Poultry.

Poultry are sometimes troubled
with a disease known as 'pip."
This is inflammation of the tongue
and mouth, with the growth of a
horny scale on the point Of the
tongue, which prevents the fowls
from feeding. Give each fowl a
pinch of powdered chlorate ofpotash,
dropping it into the throat and upon
the tongue and remove the scale
with the point Of penknife.

The Baltimore Election.

The Republican has not yet heard OF
the great Democratic victory in Balti-
more.-Gazette, Oct. 25.
Well, yes We believe now when We
come to think Of it, Baltimore had an
election for City Councilmen, on Wed.
nesday. We really had forgotten it, ao
it was Of little consequence anyhow, but
as the Gaz>tte has insisted upon us no
ticing it, why OF course we shall do 50.
We find that the total vote was 27,69S,
of which the Democrats polled %, 1873
and the opposition 4,499; Democratic
majority 1900. Well that is pretty
big majority, but we cannot see where
the crow comes in at, and though the
Gazette has not invited US to make any
comparisons, by its permission We will
refer to the State election held year
ago and see how it then stood. We find
that at that election Keating, the Dem,
ocratic candidate for Com ptroller recev.
ed %, 6S7 votes and Porter, Republican,
1896, leaving Democratic majority Of
~, 29l. Deduct the Democratic major
ity of Wednesday last and we have a
Republican gain in Baltimore in one
year of 3,59l. We have now referred
to the Baltimore election and we would
like to know if the Ga-ette is satisfied.

A Modest Little PuM.

That the Euery Erening has displayed
considerable energy in collecting storm
news cannot be denied, and If any body
doubts what We say, We would refer
them to their own modest little puff OF
themselves in yesterdays issue. As .
sample Of the put which occupies near.
ly two thirds OF column We clip ths
following paragraph:
1T (the h. E.) could be greatly in
creased, however, il men who lament
that it il now beyond their reach cOuld
make up their minds to do with one or
two cigars, or some similar indulgence,
less per week. This Is matter which
concerns them quite as much as 1t does
US, for 1t Is a good deal cheaper TO buy
something for two cents than to pay a
cent and to get practically nothing.
Such people would lind themselves un
comfortably of, however, when really
anxious for news if their more liberal
neighbors did not regularly support d
real newspaper which they can buy
The most surprising thing in the
above is that the editor would advise
people to do without cigars, when he
himself so much appreciates similar in-
dulgences. II We had more room to
spare we would publish the whole ar.
ticle, so that the mass Of the people, not
a few hundred, could read it for them
selves.

TiIden's COOS.

Our neighbor, the Gazette, pertina
ciously sticks to the plea that Tilden is
not guilty of any completely with the
cipher kilograms, simply because he says
he hadn't any. We are sorry that our
neighbor so persistently shields man
in the face of such almost positive evi-
dence of guilt. 1t is shown by the let
ter of Mr.. Havemeyer that kilograms
did come to Gramercy Park, Tilden's
residence, so frequently and Of such a
suspicious character that they become
annoying to him and he requested
their discontnuance. There is where
application for Tilden's "bar'ls'' of
money had to be made, and there is
where William Pelton, the nephew,
resided who discussed the cam

hackers, and in the course
