The Romance of Accident.

The discovery of gold in Nevada was
made by some Mormon immigrants in
| 1850. Adventures crossed the Sierras
and set up their sluice- boxes in the can
yOns; but it was gold they were after,
and they never suspected the existence OF
silver, nor knew it when they saw it,.
The blush stuff which was so abundant,
and which was silver ore, interfered with
their operations and gave them the great
est annoyance. Two brothers named
Grosh possessed more intelligence than
| their fell owworkers, and were the real
discoveries of the Comstock lode; but OF e
of them died from pickax wound in the
foot, and the other was frozen to death
in the mountains. Their secret died
with them. When at last, in the early
part of 1889. the surface groupings OF the
lode were found, they were worked for
the gold they contained, and the silver
was thrown out as being worthless. Yet
this lode since 1860 has yielded large
proportion of all the silver produced
throughout the world. The silver mines
of Potosi were discovered through the
trivial circumstances of an Indian acct
dentally pulling up a shrub to the roots
of which were attached some particles of
the precious metal.
A cooper in Carniola having one even
ing placed new tub under dropping
spring, in order to try if it would hold
water, when he came in the morning
found it so heavy that he could hardly
move it. At first the superstitious no,
tions that are apt to possess the minds of
the ignorant made him suspect that his
tub was bewitched; but at last, perceiv-
ing a shining fluid at the bottom, he went
to Laubach and showed it to an apothe- |
cary, who Immediately dismissed him
with small gratuity, and babe him
bring some more Of the same stuff when |
ever he could meet with it. This the |
poor cooper frequently did being highly I
pleased with his good fortune; till at |
length. the affair being made public, sew
eral persons formed themselves into Sc
ciety in order to search further into the /
quicksilver deposits thus so unexpectedly
and which were destined to
become the richest of their kind in Eu-
rope.

Keeping Apples.

A correspondent asks US how he can
keep his winter apples until late in spring,
say till the end of May. There is but
one answer to make: l. The apples must
be good keepers, free from bruises or
blemish. ,. They must be spread out
on shelves or packed in barrels, and
kept in an atmosphere of from 40 to sos,
better from 40 to 450-that is at tenn
perature as equable as possible. Some
cellars are just the thing, and preserve
them beautifully. Others are too moist,
Where this is the case a few bushels Of
stone lime should be used. Sliding
shelves. six inches apart, latticed bottom
with single layer OF fruit, extremely
as they allow Of constant ex-
summation without disturbing the fruit.
A friend Informed us that with large
stand Of these shelves in his cellar, with
8 few inches of lime on the bottom of the
esllar, he kept his apples until May in
perfect condition and good favor.-Spirit
Of Arkansas.

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 intent of the
number Of really successful farmers in
the country. There is nothing like
starting right and then sticking to it.
Want Of foresight in choosing, and
stability of purpose and effort, are at the
bottom of half the failures in farming,
for it is even more disastrous for far
mer 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 ev-
cry huctuatiOn OF the markets, is pretty
sure to get in one crop that he can't
ftraise'-a mortgage.
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 specially
adapted to cows in its chemical charac-
teristics, and that does not shrivel up by
the end of July, dairying will not pros
per If the grain producing elements
in the soil are exhausted, or insect enc
mics or climatic influences interfere,
grain crops will fail. II fruit trees must
stand with their feet in water" owing
to d lack Of drainage, orchards will prove
disappointing.
Then, again, men are as different as
their farms. Some have just the knack
to bring together dairy of cows, near
ly every one of which shall be "good
mixer" and by gentle, clean, provident
management secure large returns for the
best OF products Another has the fac.
ulty of having his land, his seed, his fer
filizers, his times and seasons just right
to coax fields of waving grain from the
soil Another will have a flock of sheep,
every one of which looks as though bred
to enter for the premium at the county
fair.
Still another will plant and prune and
shape az orchard of half a thousand
apple trees so that they shall all stand
uniform, smooth, symmetrical, yielding
just such apples in just such quantities
as he planned when he brought the trees
from the nursery. The point is that ev-
cry man, in farming az in other occupa
tions, 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 re-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 yard of poulsry; some extra
crops TO experiment on-this old-fash.
toned method is about the safest and
most comfortable, after all, for specialties
require special knowledge and special
of success. They are like
one legged milking stools-can't stand
alone; while varied farming has various
supports.-Prairie Farmer.

Is it best for farm boys to be required
to help at the house work-such as churn-
ing, washing dishes, wringing out clothes.
securing the knives, tending baby, etc?
What good reasons can you give either in
favor of or against the practice?
What can we do to provide more of
healthful pastimes, more fun, frolic,
amusement, recreation, wholesome pleas
antrv or social enjoyment for the young
people of farm families?
