Mark Twain and the Piutes.

The Eureka Republican tells about
Mark Twain's lecture in Dayton, Ne
vada, some years ago. His agent used
to get up an excitement about the lec-
ture by building a bonfire before the
hall and sending fife and drum through
the streets half hour before the be-
ginning of the entertainment. He did
tLis in Dayton, then fourishing camp,
and the Piutes naturally got the impress
sion that some kind of an exciting show
was to be given, so the chief tackled the
enterprising agent on the subject OF half.
price admissions, and some 80 bucks
paid their half dollars and filed into the
hall. Presently Mark made his appear
ance on the stage and began drawing
away in his usual style. The white peo-
pie laughed boisterously, but the Indians
looked puzzled, and after standing itfor
Is minutes they began whispering and
grunting among themselves, and finally
the chief got up and went out to the
box-office and inquired when the
tumbling was going to commence, and
that cheap big fool" was going to quit
talking. Upon learning that the per-
formance was going to be all talk, and
conveying this horrid information to the
other Indians, they rose in body, left
the hall and swarmed to the boX-office
and demanded their money back. The
agent couldn' It think of such thing, and
the Piutes went out on the street and
gave vent to their feelings in war
whoops. 1t looked for a few minutes as
if the disgusted warriors would start IN
to wreck the hall and murder the lee
tulrer. A crowd of whites, attracted by
the loud, angry yells of the red men,
gathered, however, and Mark Twain
was saved to an admiring world.

Start Right and Then Stick.

A great many men throughout the
country are "going back to farming"
this year, and an unusual number of
young men are looking out for a start
in the same business. The reports that
come from the West, of a revival Of
the old-time inpouring Of new settlers,
and the accounts of the taking up of old
farms in New England, are among the
best signs of the times. If the new
farmers will only start right, and then
stick to it, their success may be insured
in advance. Want of foresight in
choosing, and stability of purpose and
effort, are at the bottom of half the fail
ures in farming, for it is even more dis
astrous for farmer 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 every fuctua-
ton OF the markets, is pretty sure to
Sharp County record., 1878-07-19

get in one crop that he can't "raise"-
a mortgage.
Every farm is better adapted to some
industries than 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 especially
adapted to COWS in its chemical charac-
teristics, and that does not shrivel up
by the end of July, dairying will not
prosper. If the grain-producing ele-
ments in the soil are exhausted, or in.
Sect-enemies or climatic influences in
terfere, grain crops will fail, If fruit
trees must stand "with their feet in the
water" owing to lack of drainage, or
chards 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 a " good
mixer" and by gentle, clean, provi-
dent management secure large returns
for the best of products. Another has
the faculty of having his land,
his seed, his fertilizers, his times
and seasons, just right to
coax fields of waving grain from the
soil. Another will have 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 an orchard
of haIf-a,thousand apple trees so that
they shall all stand uniform, smooth,
symmetrical, Welding just such apples,
in just such quantities, as he planned
when he bought the trees from the nurS-
cry. The point is that every man, in
farming as in other occupations, should
ascertain what his combined inward
forces and outward circumstances will
enable him to do best, and do that. As
rule, diversified farming is the best,
except in localities pre-eminently adapt
ed to one branch, like the dairy regions
of New York or the natural grain-tieIdS
of the West.
A snug little orchard; fields Of grain,
grass, corn, and root crops; amanage-
able drove of COWS or sheep; pair OF
choice breeding mares; pen OF good
hogs; yard Of poultry; some extra
crops to experiment on-this old-faSh-
ioned method is about the safest and
most comfortable, after all. For Spe-
cialties require special knowledge and
special conditions of success. They are
like a one-legged milking-stool-c
stand alone; while varied farming has
various supports. Golden Rale.

THE seductiveness-- one might al
most say the fascination-of interest
got, or to be got, from money is very
remarkable. Ordinarily, people who
have not had money at interest care lit
tie about it, indeed, never think of it.
But after they have once had interest
have familiarized themselves with the
fact that money is worth something
they very rarely forget it, on fail to act
upon it.-N Y Times.
