farm or pay him for trying to do that
which he knows nothing about. The
days for ignorance in farming have
passed. No father should now sup
pose that his son or daughter can COM
pete with the talent of the world with
out thorough attention to and knowl-
edge of the business of his intended &C.
cupatiOn. Railroads and telegraphs
have brought the world skill and COM
petition to our doors. The solution of
the labor question is a preparation for
the labor sought. 1t is a mistaken no.
ton, if man is not skilled in ANYTHING
else, he Can farm. That folly has filled
all our agricultural districts with igno-
rance, poverty and bankruptcy. 1t is
seen in poor stock, lean horses, UNI
painted houses, filthy door yards,
weedy farms, poor crops, unpaid debts,
squalid children, with want and woe
written all over family and premises.
Thus far the world has sadly erred in
its standard of talent and experience
for a farmer. Not merely the owner,
but all the hands, as in factory or
machine shop, must be skilled in the
business, or waste and want follow in
their tracks. Nearly all the idle in the
cities, whom the patriotic editors are
trying to drive out to the farms of the
country, are totally unsuitable and use
less on the farm. They know nothing
about it and you'd expect wages while
going through an apprenticeship. 1t
is a pity the world, and especially edi-
tors, can never learn that farming has
to be managed and operated by skill
and experience. Raw hands are OF no
more use on farm than they are in a
watch factory or as operatives on a
locomotive. Intelligent brains and
honest hearts yet have plenty of en-
ployment.-IOaCaS State Register.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

SUGAR is an admirable ingredient n
curing meat and fish.
The mud blockade of December
taught the world that agriculture was
the corner stone of all other industries.
Cut off the farmers stores from the
world for six months and it would near
ly perish.-IoaUG State Register.
A WESTERN New York farmer is
credited with the noteworthy remark
that he once carefully observed the
effect of the application of stable ma
nure which had been saved under
shelter till needed for use, and he con-
cluded that one load of it was worth
about rs much as two loads of that ex-
posed in the usual wasteful way; which
is scarcely stating the case too strong
ly.-Erchange.
The more usual authorizations of
honey are with various forms of starch,
as OF those of the potato and wheat,
and with starch and cane sugar. Other
authorizations sometimes detected are
chalk, plaster of Paris and pipe clay.
The starch is not only added for the
sake of weight and bulk, but to improve
the color Of a very dark honey, and to
correct sharp and acidulous taste
which old honey is apt to acquire
american CMltiuator.
IT'S a good plan to square up with
everybody at this season, even if the
money to pay is not on hand. We
ought to know just how we stand with
the world, just how much we owe to
each and how much each owes to us.
These old accounts that stand along
year after year are bad things, and they
are an intolerablc nuisance unless they
are run over occasionally SO that they
may be kept straight between man and
man.-Rurdk Nea0 Yorker.
The managers of few creameries

AS the new milk is received, night and
morning, at the creamery, it is rum into
large watts, and at once heated to 40
degrees or above, by driving steam into
the milk. This drives the odors out
and enables them to keep the milk
twelve to twenty-four hours longer
than it would without heating. AS
soon as the heating is done, cold water
is run around the milk and through it
by series of horizontal tubes in the
middle of the milk, the top tube being
just below the cream, to be out of the
way of skimming. Thus by cooling the
milk at the outside and the middle, it
is rapidly done and the cream hurried
to the surface.
THERE is y tendency at this season to
feed too much grain and get the horses
too fat. This is done at the expense of
muscle, because an animal kept con-
stantly at work will not get "hog-fat :"
1.-The food going to furnish tissue and
muscle used up and destroyed. Not SO
with an animal kept in stall and given
no exercise, except perhaps, that OBJ
tanned while being led to water. The
amount of grain fed should be reduced,
and a plentiful supply Of hay kept in
the racks at all times. When possible,
the horses should be given the free run
of the yard every day. If only given
their liberty occasionally, they are too
apt to run and jump to an excess.
Many valuable animals have been lost
by rupture or fall obtained through
giving exercise to eNuberant animal
spirits. Chicago Tribune.

The Fault Of American Farming.

THE oldest inhabitant' does not re-
member winter that began SO favora-
bly, as the present one. 70 pillow on the
last day of the year, with the weather
like that of May, while the cows are
pasturing on the meadows, is, for the
Eastern and Northern States, some
thing remarkable. Fortunately, there
has been little harm done by the ex-
traordinary mildness of the early win
ter; and much of the spring work has
been put in very forward state. This
is a great help; a farmer, unless he can
be ahead of his work, must labor under
many disadvantages OF all men, the
farmer most lives for and works for the
future. He plows and sows months be-
fore he reaps. His young stock always
appear to him as the future matured
animals, and it is of these that he
thinks, and not the young creature
which he feeds and nurses. He must
plan for years ahead; when he breaks
up sod he has in his minds eye the
field again in grass five or six years
hence, and the work Of all those years
is to insure a good meadow then. No
man needs to be more patient than he,
nor to wait more cheerfully for good or
ill, he knows not which, that may be-
fall him. And now that winter seems
hardly to have begun, we are already
anxious about the spring, which will be
at hand in month, and planning what
shall be done about this or that. The
management of properly-regulated
farms should be planned, once for all.
There should be no changes, except
those regularly recurring which arrive
year by year, and which follow one an
other as orderly as the changes of the
seasons. The great fault of American
farming is this constant desire for
change. We change our farms as we
change the fashion of our coats. We
rarely think of them as homes which
our children shall occupy after us. 1t
is the same with our stock, crops and
manner of farming. AS the fashion
comes up. or any new thing or idea is
talked about, we cast aside, or leave the
old and take up the new. We do not
take time to learn : the value of what
we have, or that there is good in every
thing, if we only persevere and bring it
out. We take up dairying, for in
ststHCc, u ny tsi lho POpui.sA Oioouo VI
cows, and leave that 20 take up hops,
tobacco or fruits. Then we go to
grain-growing, and finally begin to
think the West, or the South, or orange
growing in Florida, is more desirable,
and try to sell out; in the meantime
we give no heart to our business, and
that necessarily languishes. There are
many exceptions, but this is the rule.
We hear it talked over wherever farm
ers gather. and read of it in reports of
farmers clubs and conventions. This
is Improbable. The farmer should be
conservative, steady, patient, persevcr-
ing and contcnted if he would be a sue
cessful and happy man. While the
whole world depends upon him for
food and clothing, he can never fail to
have profitable employment, or find a
market for his crops. The best farmers
are those who discover what their
farms are best fitted for, what they can
do best, and persevere in that year by
year becoming more proficient, more
experienced and more successful

Lesson OF the Times.

The ignorant, unskilled, and UNI
faithful workmen, in all branches of in
dustry, are the first to be sent adrift
when times are dull. Men well trained,
of suitable education, and honest
hearts, are yet in demand and always
will be. Competition in every branch
of industry is close and scrutinising,
and the raw material in the shape of
ignorant or careless workmen, clerks
or operators are not in demand. Every
branch of business and every laborer
has to compete with the talent and
skill of the world. A boy ignorant of
the mercantile business, and having
established no reputation for honesty
and fidelity, need not expect to be chief
clerk at once. A young man who has
spent his life in idleness, or in robbing
watermelon patches. and fen's roosts
about Christmas times, and who de-
lights in spending his evenings at sa-
looms and his Sundays at fishing or horse
racing, need not expect the farmer to
place him in responsible places on his

How the Judge Repeated the Joke.

SOME years ago a case was called for
trial in Cumberland Superior Court.
Among the witnesses on behalf of the
State was to have been one Sara
Mooney. She was not found in the
courtroom, and her name was called
in due form from the Courthouse Win
dow without effect Whereupon, the
State Solicitor, the late Hon. Robert
Strange, who was fond of a joke, even
of a pun, turned to the Court and said:
"May it please Your Honor, the testi-
mOny of this witness is not material,
and we will 90 on with the case with
out Sara-Mooney." OF course, the law
ycrs laughed at the pun, but the Judge
didn't see it, and cracked never smile.
There We're no railroads in those days,
and few stage coaches, and Judge and
lawyers travelled from one court to an
other in McKcthan's buggies. On the
road to the next court, in the Judge S
own county, there was quite process
sion of lawyers in buggies following the
Judges lead. The Judge called a halt
in the middle of a stream to water his
horse, and, in the thoughtful mood in
cident to that process, suddenly aston
ished his brethren of the bar by burst
ing into laughter both loud and long.
He explained that he was laughing at
Judge Strange's good joke. Arrived
at home, through with his toilet, and
seated at supper, his wife, as wives
will, asked of the incidents of his jour-
ney. There had been none Of interest,
he said, except the good joke gotten of
by their mutual friend, Judge Strange,
at Cumberland Court. "And what was
that, my dear?" "Well, there was a
case in which one of the witnesses was
named Mary Mooney. She could not
be found, and Judge Strange, amid
shouts of laughter, said: May il
please Your Honor. we will 60 on with.

pondered awhile, and said she did not

4 Race With Death.

One of the most remarkable trips on
record has just been made on the Atch-
ison, Topeka Il Santa Fe Railroad,
from Kansas City to the Rocky Mount
aims. A rich gentleman, named w. S.
Dunn. arrived in this city from the
East on Thursday morning, on his way
to visit his sick wife at Manitou Springs,
Col. On his arrival here he received Il
telegram stating that his wife was at
the point of death, and that she could
not live many hours. The husband.
who was middle-aged man, evidently
a merchant, seemed to be much affected
by the news, and ut once made inquiries
for special train. He offered a large
sum of money for q special engine to
run to Pueblo ahead of the regular
train, but could not obtain one here.
He took possession of the telegraph
wires between here and Topeka, the
headquarters of the road, and offered
$3.50 for q special locomotive to run
at special speed across the plains. His
offer was accepted, and at three o'clock
on Thursday afternoon the devoted hus-
band started from Topeka on his break
neck errand of love and duty. Away
went the locomotive and car, with its
solitary but Borrowing passenger, over
the prairies of Kaw Valley, down into
the Valley of the Neosho at Emporia,
then Off again over the high divide be-
tween the Neosho and the Arkansas
Valley, which was reached before night
had closed in. Then, after taking
water, the impatient husband and his
tireless iron horse started up the great
Arkansas Valley to the base of the
Rocky Mountains.
He reached Pueblo, Col, about 1880
o'clock on Friday morning, and then,
.only waiting for a locomotive on the
Denver 4 Rio Grande (narrow-gauge)
to be got ready, started up to ManitOu,
a distance of fifty miles. He reached
Manitou, at the base of Pixies Peak, in
time to see his dying wife, and was
well satisfied with the result of his fast
trip. The fastest time made on the
route was fifty miles per hour; the av-
erage time about thirty-five miles. 1t
is the fastest time ever made across the
plains from the Missouri River to the
