Coon AND NEAT FARMING NOT Syn.
oSYMoUs.-Many no doubt regard the
terms neat and good, when applied 70
farming, as meaning the same, but a
few moments reflection Will convince
them Of their errOr. A good farmer
may not be n neat one, a neat one may
not be a good one In a practical tense
of the term. Neat farming is only a
question Of the investment of capital
without reference 10 direct profit, while
good farming In the common accepta-
ton Of the term keeps early profit
always In view. A good farmer Is one
who obtains the largest possible income
from his soil without diminishing its
productive capacity; he produces such
crops and keeps such stock as are best
adapted TO his land; he adopts a Judi
cious rotation of crops, cu~ltivates them
well, makes and husbands all the man
ure posaible, buys all the phosphate,
plaster, or additional food for his stock
that a wise economy will justify, and
sells his products in such forms as will
bring in the largest income from the
least possible cost. The Rural Neto
IOTheF says vi suCu u lhTmeT
awe recollect the remark of an old
man, when we were a boy Of eight or
nine years, that 1t takes something of a
sloven to make money at farming, and
If making money is the sole end of farm
ing, perhaps neatness would be unad-
visable. But there are men who hon.
estly believe that man Is of more I'm
p%Ortance than money, and that a mans
life is greater than his business or pro-
fession. That a man may meet all his
business obligations, feed and clothe his
family, leave them a good property
after he is gone, and even instruct them
by precept and example, in the duties
of a moral and religious life, and yet
fail In his duty to his family and to So
ciety. The farmer owes something to
that love of order, of beauty which a
benignant Creator has implanted in
mans nature, and the qualification of
which is as necessary to his full and
symmetrical development as the graft
fication of any other want or faculty Of
his nature. The farmer is in duty
bound to do what he can toward making
his home lovely for the sake of his
family, and his portion of the rural
landscape beautiful for the sake of his
neighbors and the public at large"

A DRAFT UPON THE SoIL.-It seems
quite astonishing how far from a grow
ing vine n a observe the draft upon
the soil by the roots, and the question
may well arise how much of this can a
farmer afford? 1t is all very well to re-
mark the beauty of growing hedges or
specimen trees upon the farms of a
country, but the question will again re-
cur, how much of this will pay? The
proprietors of large demesnes can af-
ford, perhaps. an unlimited supply of
trees scattered over their broad acres
for ornament, but with the owners of
small places upon which the living for
a family must be grown, the question
of allowing even an occasional tree to
grow in the field turns upon whether
the ground can be afforded for the pur-
pose.
1t Is often remarked that every farm
should be provided with enough trees
to make shady resting places for stock
during the summer. This is a very
nice thing to dream about, but when a
farmer practices a j%udicious rotation of
crops, this would render it necessary
for him to have trees thus scattered wei
his whole farm, and when we take into
consideration the fact that most of our
forest trees feed for a distance of two
or three times the height of the tree,
there must be a large amount of land
employed in the support of these shady
spots for cattle.
1t is well to carry along with the
operations of the farm, ideas Of making
beautiful the homestead upon which
one lives; but M must not be 80 far
carried away by mere sentiment that he
will mortgage his farm to support it.
1t is far easier to lift a few trees than TO
lift a mortgage. Judgment is a pretty
good thing for a farmer to have some
where about his person.-Detroit Free
Press.

How MUCH CLOVER SEED. "A great
'ariety of rules prevail in sowing the
sc d of clover. Some farmers think
thrse quarts sufficient for an acre,
whiie others use ten quarts. From such
a great variety of rules it must be evil
dent to Ill that some OF them were en-
tirely Our of the way, either wasting
seed or lo'ing the use of their land by
not putting on seed enough for a full
crop. we recommend four quarts to the
acre OF the la2ge kind of clover, which
evenly sown pits sixty.seven seeds ON
every square foo. That must make it
thick enough If II Is taken care of, and
if 1t is neglected it is enough to be
thrown away for iothing. 1t should
always be left on the surface or rolled
in.

DOMESTIC.

The UTILITY OF ODoRs-That Odor-
GUS spices are disinfectant and anti
septic, and that they are used by the
Egyptians in mummyfying their dead,
and thus preserving these useless SEM
blances OF human kind for thousands
Of years after they should have re-
turned into dust, is we'll known to those
who have considered the utility Of such
things. The cologne water s~prinkled
in the sick-room by the kindly nurse
not only freshens the languishing In
valid, but really destroys disease germs
and preserves the health of watchful
friends. The cook does exactly right
when in warm weather she peppers the
beefsteak In order TO preserve IL for the
next meal. 1t Is said that the pestilen-
tial vapors are Of an alkaline character,
and combine with the acids and the
products Of slow combustion; so that
the reverend gentleman who, at a re-
vival meeting, when the atmosphere
was foul, called upon some kind sister
TO burn a rag, acted intelligently and
upon true scientific principles. The
burning of brown paper, Of apple par
ings, and Of coffee i'm sick-roOms, not
only DISCUSSES, but to some extent, at
least destroys the poisonous emanations
from the patient. Were it not heresy |
might almost be tempted to quote SINH
liza similibus, etc. AS n ocean a
destroys another, as n wave of electric
light, If properly directed, by Interior
ence extinguishes another, so M odor
may SO interfere with and alter the
character of a similar one that the sense
ofsmell does not perceive it, or else is not
offended by it. Nearly all the pastilles
for fumigating sick rooms contain
benzoin, and when this is burned,
benzoic acid is formed, or set free, and
this acid In its free or newly formed
state, unites readily, according to the
laws of chemistry, with just such pro-
ducts as are found in sick-rooms, so
that the poison is not merely rendered
scentless, but undergoes an actual cllemi-
cal Transformation in which its toxic
principles are removed.

An Excellent Text-Book.

A new school history Of the United States,
by Prof. ]. G. Ridpath, has awakened fresh in
terest in the subject, even among these TO
whom ordinary school-books with a similar OBJ
ject have become distasteful. Teachers and
scholars speak Of its prominent features with
enthusiasm, and evidently believe that no
measure OF commentator is too good for 1t.
A hasty examination demonstrated to us that
it contains more genuine and really desirable
information about the Country than any work
OF the kline we have seen.
Its prominent characteristics are complete
ness Of narrative, ready helps in maps, dia.
grams, charts and illustrations, perspicuous
arrangement and terseness features sutici-
ent to enchain the interest OF youth, which
many school histories fail to do. A thoughtful
examination will pryye oonclusively that we
have not overstated the merits Of the volume,
and 1t should therefore attract the promp at
