The Craze for Bookkeeping.

We give below few extracts from an
article published in the Toronto (Canada)
Monetary Times, under the above cap
ton, which our farmer readers should
mark well and impress its truth upon
the minds Of their sons.
For many years past it has been evi-
dent enough TO prudent men that in this
country the number Of storekeepers was
out Of all proportion to the business to be
profitsbly done. failure list, repre-.
senting in 1876 twenty millions of capi-
tai, does not seem to have convinced
people that shopkeeping, as at present
carried on, is losing business Tor the
great majority of those engaged in it.
Too many country stores, too many
Wholesale warehouses and too much
bank accommodation to importers, has
wrought great deal Of evil which man.
ifests itself in insolvent estates and bank
rupt stocks.
The trade naturally tributary TO any
business center, is 20 divided among the
numerous shopkeepers, or in part alb
sorbsd by the graDgers. who are con-
stautly making purchases in towns and
cities outside. that there il, even with a
moderate profit on ones goods, but little
money to be made in the business.
scarcely indeed, fair living lor each, If
the trade were equally distributed.
A correspondent in one Of the counties
south of London writes TO us very sen.
sibly upon the lamentable ignorance
which prevails among those out o: trade
in regard to the laborious duties and
worrying responsibility of business
men. "This Ignorance" he says, "is
being constantly transferred into the
ranks OF trade itself, and never
fails to bear its legitimate fruit Com.
Portable farmers sell or mortgage
the good property on which they
and their families have lived for
years in comparative ease, and with few
thousand dollars proceeds they dash into
trade in the village or town, and in a
year or two lose every cent, and become
village drudges or paupers for the sue.
ceeding years of their lives. Men seem
to think no apprenticeship, or expert.
ence, or special knowledge is required to
start store in town; and yet they might
see, II they would, that for the last
twenty, thirty, or forty years, ouly one
or two men in the hundred has succee ded
in making money, while rarely has one
failed Of success on the farm. Every
village ha. twice as many struggling for
its trade rs can live and failures are of
weekly occurrence, but, like the fallen
ia battle, their places are at ence
filed by men ready 10 share their
fate. The tendency to crowd
into towns has huddled up in
them more than fourth Of our popula.
tion."
The picture here drawn is unfortunately
too true. From more than one quarter
comes testimony to its truth. Leading
journals continue to emphasize the plenty
which a recent harvest hss thr ,wn into

Morn1eas Cattle.

10 California and elsewhere the useful
neD Of horns on cattle 10 q domesticated
state is being urged by some writers.
Mr.. William CLARK, now of Denver, Col.
orado, but formerly Of Wayne county,
New York, bred q herd OF hornIess cattle
while residing in the latter locality, and
il quite enthusiastic on the subject. He
predicts that the time will come when all
domestic cattle will be reared without
horus. His herd was bred from horned
cows and hOrnless bulls. He claims the
following merits for critter' of the
new pattern:
!. Horns were given 10 cattle to be
used In fighting Ito enable them TO defend
themselves against dangerous enemier.
For this purpose they are Of value upon
wild cattle. Domestic cattle have no
valuable use for them.
2 The horns upon domestic cattle are
used mostly in goring and injuring each
other. All inj juries to animals are paid
for In their distinguished growth, or
dirinisheA 4 'sh, or increased amount Of
food consumed.
3. HJrns are a mere dead weight upon
the heads OF cattle, and the expense OF
carrying them about and warming and
supplying their waste Is paid for In the
food consumed or the dimished weight of
the animal.

The Art OF ProI0ngiug Lite.

People generally desire long life and good
he Ath. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations Of the laws
that govern our physical being, ar d OF which
the masses are ignorant. IL men knew better
they would do better but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not of? While efforts
are made through the public schools to give
each child a so called common English edu,
cation. yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible
duties of active life, profoundly ignorant of
the structure Of their own bodies, and the
laws of physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent to
school and crammed with arithmetic, gram.
mar and geography, by teachers who, in
many instances, have never studied physi.
ology and hygiene. They are taught to locate
the mountains and trace the rivers OF foreign
countries, but are never taught TO locate the
vital organs and glands CT their own bodies,
or trace the veins, arteries and nerves, in
their various ramiications. They are in.
structed in the flow Of the tides, and the
course Of the ocean currents, and the philos.
opby OF winds and storms, but they have no
correct conception OF the relative effects
upon their health OF breathing pure or i'm.
pure air, nor has their attention ever been
called TO the Importance of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
The inaity of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ignorantly violating the laws Of
health, bring upon themselves sickness,
suffering and death, that might otherwise
be avoided. In this condition Of things we
welcome into being any work that is calcu.
lated to impart to the masses knowledge OF
the structure Of their own bodies, the laws OF
health and the importance Of observing those
laws. We ind DIR. Pi.rce's Common Sense

careful study will enable the healthy to pre-.
serve their health, and the sickly to regain

their children become OF proper age instruct
