"Don'r you git into no mischuf!''

The boys trotted merrily away together.
But they had not gone fifty rods before
they heard Pumble's mother calling him.
They stopped to listen.
"Tate-keer- Oh yo'-czo'es" she shout
ed, and then went back into ner house.
Under great pecan-tree, on the lawn
before the "big house, Sam and Pumble
sat down to consider and consult, or, as
they expressed it, "to study up what us
gwine to DO"
"Shill tell story?" asked Pumble.
Does you know good one?" inquir-

4 Deb alta BILE QuestIou.

While much has been written concerning
the use OF "put up" medicines, the ques-
tion is still an open one, and demands OF
the people a careful consideration. The sa.
lient points may be briefly stated and an
sweied as follows: lst-Are the sick cap able
of determining their real condition, the ma.
ture of their malsdy, and selecting the pro
per remedy or means of cure? 2nd-Can a
physician, no matter how skillful, prepare a
universal remedy adapted to the peculiar
ailments of large class OF people, residing
in different latitudes, and subject to various
climatic influences? In answer to the first
proposition, we would say, diseases are
named or known by certain signs" or symp-
toms, and, as the mother does not need
physician to tell her that her child has
whooping-cough, or indicate remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms concomitant to " impure blood"
torpid liver" and "bad digestion, )" require
no other knowledge Of their condition, or
the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition Il Many physi-
clans argue that diseases are sectionally pc.
cuiar, and their treatment must therefore
vary, and yet quinine, morphine, podophyl-
lin and hundreds of other remedies are pre-
scribed, in all countries, to overcome cer>
tain conditions, Is il not therefore, self
evident, that physician whose large expe-
rience has made him familiar with the
many phases incident to all impurities of
the blood, general and nervous debility.
liver complaint, dyspepsia, consumption,
and catarrh, can prepare series of rene.
dies exactly adapted to meet the conditions
manifest, wherever, and by whatever means
il may have been engendered? The family
medicines prepar by r. V. Pierce, NJ. D.,
of Buffalo, n. Y, fulfill the above require
ments. Many physicians prescribe them in
their practice. His Golden Medical Dis
covery has no equal as blood purifier and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescrip-
tion cures those weaknesses peculiar to
women, after physicians have failed. His
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are sugar
coated and little larger than mustard seeds,
are a safe and certain cure for torpid
liver and constipation. II you wish to save

inches in the row by pressing it down

FEW men who handle horses give prop
er attention to the feet and legs. Espe-
ciallyssis this the case on farms. Much
time is spent of a morning in rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the
feet examined and properly cared for.
Now, be it known that the feet OF horse
require more care than the body. They
need ten times as much, for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse. All
the grooming that can be done won't
avail anything if the horse is forced TO
stand where his feet will be filthy. In
this case the feet will become disordered,
and then the legs will get badly out Of
fix, and with bad feet and bad legs there
is not much else of the horse fit Tor any
thing.
The horses which bring the highest
price in New York are those large

"park horses" because they are adapted
for this form of driving. They must be

ferred, but other colors are in demand.
These "park teams" as the name i'm.
plies, are for driving in the park, where
every afternoon they may be seen by the
hundreds pranc.ng along with lofty step
and snowy style. They are not wanted
for speed but for display. Fast driving
is prohibited in the park, but out on the
"road" beyond the park the trotters
have il all to themselves. In New York
the horses of the most fashionable turn.
outs have their tails cut square off. 1t
is called the English style" There
are two forms, one to cut the hair just
below the bone, and the other to cut 1t
square off little above the hooks.
Some Of the most elegant teams are not
bobbed after this fashion, but wear their
tails as long as they chance to grow.
Doubtless the owners have more regard
Tor their comfort in fly time, or, perhaps,
they. like US, do not fancy this awkward

Why Agricultural College. Fail.

In writing TO the American Farmer. l..
A. Hansen, OF Mississippi, remarks;
The appropriations for agricultural col
leges all over the United States, with very
few and rare exceptions, have been mis-
appropriated, and most of them used TO
bolster up sickly institutions OF learning
by adding the agricultural department
TO theD institutions, making this depart
ment entirely subordinate and totally
insufficient for the wants for which the
donation wss made. This is one of the
reasons why the agricultural colleges OF
the United States, n, a rule, are failures.
Another reason is, that the majority of
those institutions do not consider manual
labor necessary aye many think it
adverse to liberty and justice to compel
the students to work after they pay lor
their board and tuition.
The misconstruction of liberty has
wrought many evils in our country, and
here is one of them. To what doe. all
the theoretical teaching amount, if not
sustained by demonstrative practice
And, how is thorough practice to be
acquired, ii not obtained by actually
doing the work? How is farmer to
instruct his hands and direct bis work to
be properly done it he is not able TO
perform 1t himself and by actual deed
show them?
Mr.. Editor, let il be well and distinctly
understood THAT no agricultural col
lege can be success, ~ such, without
proper practical instruction in manual
laborl"
BY perseverance, and industry practice
alone can succeed; theory by itself,
without practice, cannot!

that is your plessure-ground; but reckon
ia all your farm implements, wagons,
farm horses, oxen and all farm animals
from which you derive an income. But

personal account. Thus, be strictly
honest with your farm Charge every
thing which belongs to it and nothing
more. Then, in reckoning your labor,
include board for men, and include the
labor of wife, daughters and house GER
wants. But if you have been off and on
and have not done more than seven
months labor in the year don't charge
the time you have been off the farm.
Charge all the manure TO the farm.
Now, for the credit Credit the farm with
every product that 1t yields you, all the
butter, milk cheese, poultry, beef, pork,
fruit, vegetables, etc, that have been
sold or used by the family, likewise the
corn, grain and every other commodity
that is sold or used for family purposes,
and when you have looked up every item
you will find your farm has produced a
great deal more than you are willing to

FARMERS should have a diversity of

telligent farmer lays his plans as much as
does the military leader. He looks ahead

he don't put all the eggs under one hen,
for she might leave the nest and all
would be added. Farmers should plan

Well, rye is dangerous it is apt to con-

by physicians as an aid in midwifery
and to promote contraction of the womb,
and is, therefore, apt to cause abortion
or a premature birth, Hence, it is not
safe to feed rye promiscuously to breed
