Start Right and Then Stick.

If every young man who is on the
eve of commencing life on the farm,
for himself, could read the following,
clipped from the Golden Rule, and
thoroughly take in the meaning and in
| tent of the writer, it would help to in
crease the number of really successful
farmers in the country. There's moth
ing like starting right and then stick
ing to it:
Want of foresight in choosing, and
stability of purpose and effort, are at
the bottom of half the failures in farm
ing, for it is even more disastrous for a
farmer to make sudden and radical
changes in his business plans than to
put all his eggs in one basket" by
depending on one crop. The. farmer
who "rotates'' from sheep to COWS,
and from cows to grain, and from grain
to fruit, with every fluctuation of the
markets, is pretty sure to get in one
crop that he can't raise''-a mort
gage.
Every farm is better adapted to some
industries than to others. If the land
is low and springy and cold, foot rot or
other diseases will take the profits Off
of sheep. If there is not plenty of
pure, cool water, and pasturage spe-
cially adapted to cows in its chemical
characteristics, and that does not shriv-
ell up by the end Of July, dairying will
not prosper. If the grain-producing
elements in the soil are exhausted, or
insect-enemies or climatic influences
interfere, grain crops will fail. If fruit
trees must stand "with their feet in
water" owing to lack of drainage,
orchards will prove disappointing.
Then, again, men are as different as
their farms. Some have just the knack
to bring together a dairy of cows, near
ly every one of which shall be- "good
mixer" and by gentle, clean, provi-
dent management secure large returns
for the best of products. Another has
the faculty of having his land, his seed,
his fertilizers, his times and seasons
just right to coax fields of waving grain
from the soil. Another will have
flock of sheep, every one of which
looks as though bred to enter for the
premium at the county fair. Still an
other will plant and prune and shape
an orchard of half 4 thousand apple
trees so that they shall all stand uni
form, smooth, symmetrical, yielding
just such apples in just such quantities
as he planned when he brought the
trees from the nursery. he point is
that every man, in farming as in other
occupations, should ascertain what his
combined inward forces and outward
circumstances will enable him to do
best and do that. AS a rule, diversified
farming is the best, except in localities
pre-eminently adapted to one branch,
like the dairy regions of New York or
the natural grain fields of the West.
A snug little orchard; fields of grain,
grass, corn and root crops; a manage
able drove of cows or sheep; pair of
choice breeding mares; pen of good
hogs; a yard Of poultry; some extra
crops to experiment on-this old-fash-
toned method is about the safest and
most comfortable, after all, for special
ties require special knowledge and spe-
cial conditions of success. They are
like one-legged milking stools-can't
stand alone; while varied farming has
various supports.-Prairie Farmer.

"A nice point will have to be weighed
at the next trial of the Rev. Mr.. Hay
den for the murder of Mary Stannard.
Since the discovery of the arsenic in
the stomach of the victim the theory
of the State has been that when Hay
den, as he testified, bought an ounce of
arsenic with which to kill rats, he
really intended it for Mary. Hayden
testified also that he had not used a
particle of the poison and had put it
away in his barn, where it has been
found since. If there still remains an
ounce or almost an ounce the defense
will contend that none of it was used
to poison Mary. On the other hand
the prosecution will assert that as
arsenic is sold very cheap the druggist
was careless about giving exact weight
and threw in considerably more than
an ounce. On this delicate point the
mans life may depend.

THE TURKEYS LAST REQUEST.

Now, HARK We, merry gentlemen,
And hush Your foolish suuabblcs,
And listen to the Turkey. when
His last request he gObbles.
The scanty time have to live
Is spent in observations;
30 pray You, gentlemen. forgive
The Turkeys dissertation.
1 do observe among you all
seltishness surprising:
lou re satisfied when Others fall,
And envious when they're rising.
This wicked world barn. yard is,
Ana. when corn shower rattles,
Each Graves a share that is not his,
And with his neighbor battles.
The jaunty fowl with head in air,
tie crows in eXultation:
ne rest look OF meekness wear,
And fawn in adulation.
But let misfortune clip his wings,
lie meet him with suspicion
Aud every friend the whisper filings
mat watts HIM to p,rii;ion.
Opetty race of greedy men
- That Kill me at Thanksgiving,
Does conscience never prick you when
You see the way you re living:
How many of You spend your days
In honest, CHEEKY labor:
Whose head upon his pillow lays
At peace with every neighbour!
You're merry when the skies are fair,
Your selfshness pursuing:
Your charity is cold and spare,
And left for Others doing.
What care you for the poor mans lot,
Or for the widows signing.
The mournful sound We hear it not
OF orphan children crying.
To-day my coat is old and brown,
My gait an awkward hohbie;
'Mong harn-yard fowls l seem clown,
My voice is but IA gobble.
But when upon Your board / lie
In golden yellow glory.
With fragrant incense steaming high,
Then don't forget my story.
Opetty race of greedy men.
When have died for others,
Pray think upon your duty then
To all your suffering brothers!
Above your mead the skies are fair,
Der yorder roof they re murky:

And please the martyred Turkey.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

RICE PANcAKEs.-Two large cups
rice. well washed; boil in one quart
water; when the water boils off, add
one quart milk, one cup wheat flour,
one egg.
AsTOR HOUSE RoLLs.-Into two
quarts of flour put piece of butter size
OF an egg, little salt, one tablespoon
full of white sugar, one pint of milk,
scalded and added while warm; half a
cup of yeast, or one small cake; when
the sponge is ght, mold for fifteen
minutes; let rise again, roll out, cut
into round cakes; when light tlatten
with the hand or rolling-pin, place a
piece of butter on top and fold each
over Itself; when light, bake in quick
oven.
Slow and sure should be the farm
er's motto. No rash speculations for
him. No inflated prices of produce,
stock or anything else, producing a
corresponding collapse. Care, prudence
and industry willproduce liberal gains,
but the tiller of the soil who expects to
become enormously rich in brief
space will be sorely mistaken. If no
debts are contracted and a liberal di-
versity of crops be planted and econo-
my be practiced. commercial panics
may Overwhelm the mercantile world
and the farmer will not even be embar-
raised. Slow and sure may seem out
OF place in this fast age, but is the only
safe way. Our Home Journal
A PRACTICAL farmer tells how to
keep the bowels of horse loose in win
ter, as follows: AT each feeding give
him about q quart of the middlings
or shorts of wheat, us well as what
grain and hay he will eat. 1 have prac-
ticed this for three years, and find no
use for other condition powers. 1t
keeps them as sleek and fat as
Henry Clay's servants were. Calves
may be kept fat enough for veal all
winter by giving them what wheat-bran
they will eat, with one-fourth or one
fifth of corn-meal mixed with it. They
should also be kept in dry, covered
pen or stable of nights and stormy
days. If mich cows are also kept in
this way (Which l dog they can very
easily be kept fat enough for beef; also,
any other cattle the same''
If any class Of farmers need " line
upon line'' to induce them to see the
road to success, it is the dairymen.
They keep cows for the supposed profit
they bring, and they live in blissful ig-
norance that they are doing this labor
for amusement; yet they seldom make
an inquiry into the actual performance
of individual cows. They make no eff
fort to separate the good from the I'M
profitable. We have known several
herds that paid so poor a return that
the owner became discouraged and
concluded that dairying must usually
be carried, ,on without reasonable profit;
but by testing the individual yield and
quality of these herds it was found in
one case that the loss was made on
three cows out of eight, the five paying
a reasonable profit, while the three
poor ones sunk this; in another case
eight COWS sunk the profit on twenty.
There is seldom herd of twenty cows
that does not contain some that pay
good profit; few herds comparatively
of that number that do not contain one
or more that are kept at loss. The
selection of cows should be considered
one of the first practical principles of
dairying. -Ndtional Lice Stock Jour-
