On our way back we arrived off the

and as the wind is light, we ought to

down. The strong tide made our vessel
"sheer about" whenever Tom moved the

Remedy for Unjust weights and Meas.
uFe0.

Remedy FOR Unjust Weights and Meas
In many portions of our country-es
pecially in the newer por-
lion Of the country, there
is great talk among the farmers Of
false weights and measures. We could
give a very large number Of definite ex-
amples of this kind, which have come
within our observation.
Hogs fall short from five to twenty-five
pounds each. Buyers take FROM fifteen
to ninety pounds of wheat or oats from
each load bought in the street. At the
close Of the season, one buyer in small
town had a surplus CT two carloads of
wheat left over. This was equally d.
vided between the dealer and the rail-
road company.
Two bags of clover seed fell short six
teen pounds; small crock Of butter
three and half poundes three bags OF
barley ground at the mill fell short fifty
pounds, besides the lawful toll; a load of
wool shrunk fifteen pounds in going to
town. Meat, tea, coffee, sugar, and all
kinds of groceries, often tall short from
five to twenty-five per cent. Two firms
advertised kerosene at five cents gallon
less than most other dealers. They were
found to make up the difference in price
by the shortage in measure. At one rail
way depot, in two years, fifteen thousand
bushels Of grain were taken out of the
farmers.
Most of the aboev examples were de-
tected by the good sense Of several farm

cheated. They bought large and small
scales, and carefully weighed everything
before going to mill or to market, The
cheating is done by loaded weights,
two sets of trucks and various
other devices which ever suggest
themselves to minds wanting to use them.
We have mentioned only few cases
in which we could give the names of the
parties. What shall the farmers do about
it? They might go to law, but they are
peaceful class of people, and dislike to
make a 'fuss." The enterprising men
referred to are now buying and selling
by their own weights and measures.
They are saving each other more than the
costs of the scales and the trouble of
weighing grists of grain they now weigh
in, and weig out of the mills. Such
farmers are looking out for their rights;
many others, are catching the same spir-
it. Heretofore they have doae as do now
a very large majority of the farmers
in the country, they allow the buyer to
set his own price, do his own weighing
on his own scales, and make his own
figures as to the result. Such farmers
court abuse from all dealers who are in
any ways inclined to be dishonest. Who
says that the farmer does not need to
keep his ears and eyes open, to learn the
tricks Of the trade3 Successful men are
learning to conduct their farms on bust
ness principles.

system I'm Farm1DE.

There must be system In every bust
ness if it is to succeed, and whoever
ignores clear foresighted way of con-
Quoting farming will soon have no far n
ing: for if he is depending on it for liv-
ing he will become bankrupt, or if doing
it for amusement, the drain on capital
will be so heavy as to cause prudence to
step in and end such a losing transaction.
Some men are so opiniated as to mag
inc themselves competent to manage q
farm without any looking forward, and
they will make inadequate preparation
for winter and have 1othing in readiness
by the time it is wanted, a no if anything
goes wrong it is laid at the door of so ne
other than the right person. There is not
a more pitiable and contemplate man
than the one who thinks himself smarter
than any one else, and yet runs around
seeking to charge all his shortcomings to
others, while he alone is to blame.
There are men who are too stingy to
make good fences or properly repair those
which are rotting or tumbling down, and
who yet talk of being stock farmers, and
they will buy grade short-horns, grade
Jerseys, mongrels of all colors and sizes,
and expect the puplic to admire their
animals and believe them to be some
thing superior. Now by using good
pure-bred bulls and raising the calves,
Improvements could be made in these
grades, but those niggardly souls will
begrudge the trouble to raise the calves,
and either sell them for veal or let them
20 with the COW to dairvman.
System would raise all the heifer calves
and by using good bulls each generation
would become better. Or, any man with
sufficient capital would commence with
some really good pure-bred stock, and
breed and sell first-class animals, and
thus conduct the breeding on system
Of continually selling at double and treble
t. he price Of common stock and gain
ing extra profits. System, too, will cause
any man Of intelligence to have every de-
partment methodically conducted, and
not to have anything delayed or capri
ciously changed from the rotation or reg.
ular course. But the miserable, shiftless
farmer will havs piece Of blowing in
the middle of q meadow and field Of
corn or grain with no fence between il
and the pasture, and then every neigh.
Dor will be complaining Of, injury from
lstock through the bad fences, He will

HOUSE AND FARM.
True Hos pi tally.

True hospitality is thing that touches
the heart and never goes beyond the cir
Gle Of generous impulses. Enterta inm,ent
with the truly hospitable man means
more than the mere feeding of the body;
it means an interchange Of soul gifts.
Still it should have its laws, as all things
good must have laws to govern them. s
: The obi cation to be hospitable is sa-
cred one, emphasized by every moral
code known to the world, and practical
outcome of the second great command
ment. There should never be q guest in
the house whose presence requires any
considerable change in the domestic econ
Omy. ~.->--
business or mutual interests may demand
in entertaining stranger, he should
never be taken into the family circle I'M
less he is known to be wholly worthy OF
a place in that sdpctNna sanct0rune of So
cial life; but when once man is admit
ted to the home fireside he should be
treated as if the place had been his al
ways.
The fact of an invitation gives neither
host nor guest the right to be master of
the others time, and does not require
even temporary sacrifice of ones entire
individuality or pursuits.
A man should never be so much him
self as when he entertains friend.
To stay at friends house beyond the
time for which one IS invited is to per-
petrate social robbery.
To abide unlimited in friends house
is much a misdemeanor as borrowing
his coat witout his permission. It is
debasing the coin of friendship to mere
dross when man attempts to make it
pay his hotel bills.
The fact Of two men having The same
occupation and interests in life. gives to
neither social right to the others bed
and board. A travelling minister has no
more ri ght to 60 unlimited to a fellow
preachers house than travelling shop
keeper or shoemaker has to 60 invited
to the house of his fellow craftsman. Men
arc ordained to the MINISTRY as preach
ers, and pastors, and not as private
hotel-keepers.
