Odd Notes.

Farmer and Mechanic: Never al
low yourself to be inveigled into
running into debt" When you
are tempted to do so, go into your
field and plant an extra acre with
some edible crop.
The Sheriff is an undesirable &C
quaintance. Avoid him as you
would pestilence This can east
ly be done by paying cash on the
spot for everything YOU purchase.
Remember that everything OF val
ne we honestly obtain is the result
of diligence and intelligence. Do
not, therefore, expect prosperity
unless you are willing to work
for it.
Make the collection and compos
ting of fertilizing materials con-
slant employment. The odor of
your manure heap should be more
attractive to you than the smell OF
the whisky shop.
OF course you will become the
owner and raiser of stock No
farm Is complete that ignores stock
raising Get the best, which is al
ways the cheapest in the end
Give scrubs q wide berth.
Never purchase farm utensils be-
cause they are cheap. Cheap tools
are an unmitigated nuisance. The
best workman In the world cannot
make a good job with them. 1t is
economy to buy the best, no matter
what the price may be-.
Do not unwiseIy imagine that
you will be able to get along"
without books and papers relating
to agriculture. Successful farmers
read extensively and consider the
money they spend for the purpose
their best investment. Occasional
ly, some ignoFamns gets rich by
main strength and awkwardness."
This is an exception TO tue rule,
however. Read good agricultural
books and subscribe for at least
one agricultural journal, it will pay
TO take several.

Woman's Worth.

st. Louis Post: A distinguished
writer says that women have all the
rights men have and one more, the
right of being protected. In this
statement he shows his discrimina
tiOn and genuine politeless in that
he did not use the common phrase
Clogy and say the right of being
supported. A man has no more
business 10 say he supports his
wife than he has to say he supports
his partner or his clerks. All good
wives render guild pro quo in the
partnership of the home, even
though they do nothing but make it
pleasant and meet their husbands
on their return from business with
a smile. A young woman, by viz
tue of fine education and natural
abilities, is able as a teacher to
earn, say, Thousand dollars year.
A young fellow asks her to relin-
quish this and join him in founding
home, her palt in il being, per-
haps, mainly to stay in the house
ana overlook the housekeeping. She
may consent to do so with most
happy results both to herself and
him; but one essential element in
her happiness must be that by So
doing she does not place herself in
a position that shall create a pain
full sense of dependence. There is
no high-spirited woman who can
endurs without pa such an atti
tude, yet there is no rightly consti-
tuted wife who dares not under the
right conditions, enjoy having all
her temporal wants supplied and of
being cared for and protected.
An earnest and thoughtful writer
upon social questions of the deepest
Importance says that what this
country most needs is a leisurely,
happy and care free motheTh hood.
The period when mother has her
little ones around her knees ought
to be the happiest of her life. But
when maternal cares press a strong
er hand than hers should ward of
all other cares and trials that would
Cypress her or interfere with her
care for her children. This is the
period when woman's most sacred
right is that of being cared for and
protected. Alas! that to so many
mothers the period of maternity is
one Of being overburdened physic
ally and mentally, and of unrest
and sorrow of spirit. And this
condition is one from which, in a
majority of cases. she cannot rescue
herself. She may iced recreation,
change, help in her labors and many
other things IN order to healthful
condition of mind and body; but
she lacks the strength and energy
to provide herself with them. Here
is the opportunity for the good
husband. Here is his chance to
bind hie wife to him with "hooks
of steel;'' here is mis- time to show
that he appreciates what is due TO
woman in the most important rela-
ton of life. But in order to do
this he must render this homage
not as one who gives to a depel
dent, out rather as one who brings
glad tribute to a sacred altar.

AND USEFUL IMPORTATION
The End Of Hard Times.

Our Farm Journal says: Politl-
clans are industriously blowing
their horns in the interests of their
respective parties, and, if we be-
lieve what they tell US, our future
national and individual prosperity
depends upon a metallic basis for
bank notes or the unrestricted issu
ance of greenbacks without any pro
vlso looking towards redemption.
These cheap men make big noise
in the world and the quiet, unpre
tentious farmer is made to believe
that his existence, almost, depends
upon the way he casts his ballot.
Now plenty of the circulating
medium ''be it specie or green backs
is undoubtedly great public and
private benefit, but little thought
will convince any man that the far
ner need not worry himself about
the matter. Banks, either national
or private, are not necessity to
his prosperity, being only conven
lent vehicles of exchange, nothing
more. The idea also that the bank
ing interests are superior to the ag
ricultural is another of the fallacies
of the age which will ere long be
exploded.
An undue volume OF any kind of
money induces extravaganza and
speculations which are the certain
forerunners of ruin. There should
be enough for the legitimate bust
ness of the country and no more.
Every dollar in excess of this
amount is a nest egg of idleness,
speculation, debt and disaster.
Farmers will see the end of hard
times when they raise their own
food supplies, when their principal
crops are noU mortgaged for adj
vances, when they can pay cash on
the spot or go without, wheL their
own corn cribs are full and their
smoke houses are not empty This
may compel them to wear old
clothes and ride in the old carriages
for time. They may be obliged
TO head their labor gang instead of
playing the gentleman or overseer.
They must not look upon manual
labor as degrading or be ashamed
to harden their hands by honest
Toll.
This condition of things will
soon become general all over the
country. The Southern farmer has
it in his own power to make him
self the most independent of men,
without the aid of banks, brokers
or spectators. He produces; they
exchange. His crops are so much
added to the tangible wealth of the
world; their manipulations simply
effect change of ownership. With
out the farmers crops mercantile
and other industries would soon
decay and cease to exist. Let the
farmer then endeayor to keep him
self free from all questionable COM
binations; let him be independent
in the production and unrestricted
in the disposal of the proceeds of
his labor and hard times will sure
ly come to an end.

ofInterest to the Public.

Public speakers are often annoyed,
aud even seriously afflicted with an az
fection of the throat, which greatly him
ders their efforts to entertain and i'm
struct their hearers. A slight cold adds
to the difficulty, and sometimes results
disastrously unless efficient means be
used to prevent. Every one knows the
healing virtues of honey and tar, which
are found in all their strength and pu-
rity in the greatest Cough Medicine
ever prepared. A certain cure for
Coughs, Colds and all diseases of the
Throat and Lungs is found in Coussens'
Compound Honey OF Tar, which, to-

OPPORTUNITY.

In harvest-times, when fields and woods
Outdazzle sunsets glow,
And scythes clang music through the land,
1t is too late to sow.
Too latei too latel
1t is too late to SOW.
In wintry days, when weary earth
Lies cold in pulseless sleep,
With not blossom on her shroud,
1t is to late to reap.
Too latel to latel
1t is too late to reap.
When blue-eyed violets are astir,
And new born grasses creep.
And young birds chirP, then sow betimes.
And thou betimes shalt reap.
Then sowl then sowl
And thou betimes shalt reap.

To Cure Sore Throat.

Let each one of our readers buy

ever any soreness appears in the

thoroughly; then give the neck a
good rubbing with camphorated oil
at night before going to bed, snd
also pin around the throat a strip

The Best Sheep.

As a rule pure bred sheep are
quite too dear to raise for mutton.
The fine woods are small; the long
woods furnish too much fat in pro-
portion to lean to be profitable
to the consumer of mutton. The
South downs supply tinegrained lean
meat, bnt they have the draw back
of being a tribe small A cross DC
tween Southdown rams and Meripo
ewes produces a tavorite class of
lambs tor the Eastern markets.
They are hardy, mature early, and
strongly display the excellent
SouthdowD points. II these grades
or Southdown ewes are crossed
with a Cotsyold or Leicester ram,
the progeny will be large, the
growth rapid, while the flesh will
have choice flavor. To supply
early lambs for the butcher, this is
probably as good a cross as can be
made, as there is always a demand
for such lambs in New York and
other Eastern cities at profitable

How to Wash Flannel.

We frequently hear housewives
complain of their washerwomen for
drawing up" or shrinking the fan
mel. A new garment after two or
three washings becomes thick and
still and so small that the person
can't get into it, and neither the
housewife or the washerwoman can
account for 1t. The cause is sim
ply from a custom of economy in
first washing the white or linen
cloths and then washing the flannel
in the same water to save time and
soap. The dirt and lint from the
linen settles in the flannel and caus
es it to thicken and "draw up" like
felt. Flannel should be washed in
clean, milkwarm soap-suds, with no
linen or cotton goods whatever, and
then rinsed in clear water, and it
will remain soft and elastic as long
as there is a thread of it Riley on
Washing.

The farmer will succeed who
makes up his mimi that the whole
secret of success is in himself: that
it is the man and not the business
that tells. He will succeed if he
brings to bear the same amount of
skill. forethought. energy, economy
and judgment that any other
branch of business requires He
will succeed if he sticks close to his
farm, as the mechanic does to his
shop, aud not expect to work three
or four months ana then take his
ease the rest of the year.
