LET THE FOOL TRY 1T FIRST.

There is fool in every town and in
nearly every neighborhood. He owns
more or less land and believes all that
Is told him. He is very useful men,
Der of the community. Without him
half the peddlers of patent manures,
new seeds. lightning-rods. and fruit
trees would starve to death.
Whenever glib-tongued liar comes
along, selling hulless oats that weigh
80 pounds to the bushel and yield 800
bushels to the acre, or dwarf apple-trees
that bear oranges. figs, and bananas, or
barn-yard fowls that lay golden eggs
and hatch birds of paradise, or moving
machines that cut good herds-grass in
alder swamps, the town fool always
buys them. If he hasn't the money,
and he generally hasn't. he gives his
note. And after he buys, he tries them !;
if they come up to the recommendation,
he has the oats and tropical fruits and
birds of paradise to sell, at much less
price than he paid, and his neighbors
get the benefit. On the other hand, if
his oats don't yield but 10 bushels to
the acre, and his apple-trees die, and
his fowls don't lay, and his machine
1
falls to pieces, the whole neighborhood
learns that they were frauds and gets
the benefit of his experiments. without
paying the bills.
The way, then, for a plain, sensible
farmer to do when he is offered chance
to buy any of these wonderful seeds and
fowls and trees and machines, Is to wait
and let the town fool try them first. He
will certainly do it, and if there is any
good in them he will discover it Wait
| for the fool.

CHARLES LAMBS WARNING.-Charles
Lamb tells his sad experience. as
warning to young men in the follwing
language: "The waters have gone over
me. But out of the black depths, could
be heard. [ would cry out to all those
who have set foot in the perilous flood.
Could the youth. to whom the flavor of
the first wine is delicious as the opening
scenes of life, or the entering upon some
newly discovered paradise, look upon my
desolation and be made to understand
what dreary thing it Is, when he shall
feel himself going down precipice with
open eyes and passive will; to see his
obstruction, and have no power to stop
it, and yet feel it all the way emanating
from himself; to see all godliness emp
tied out of him, and yet not able to for
get time when it was otherwise to
bear about the piteous spectacle of his
own ruin; could he see my fevered eye.
feverish with the last nights drinking,
and feverishly looking for to-night's
repetition of the folly; could he but
feel the body of the death out of which
| cry hourly with feebler outcry to be
delivered. it were enough to make him
dash the sparkling beverage to the
earth, in all the pride of its mantling

WHISKY DID It'll took the pledge"
said an old man, sat the foot of the gal
lows where | saw man hung. The
sheriff took out his watch and said, "If
you have anything to say speak now,
for you have only FIVE minutes to live.
The young man burst into tears and
said: Il had only one little brother.
He had beautiful blue eyes and faxen
hair, and | loved him. But one day
got drunk and coming home found him
gathering berries in the garden, and
became angry without cause and killed
him with rake. Whiskey has done it;
it has ruined me. [ have but one word
to say-never, never, never touch any,
thing that is intoxicating!"
Cardinal Manning says that it is not
enough to check drunkenness-intem-
perance should be checked as well. In
his opinion, the best way to do this is to
bring up children never to touch liquor.
He believes that most of the unhappiness
in the upper-closs homes arises from the
bad tempers, debts, and other evils
which follow wine-drinking.

ONION CULTURE.-Onions can be best
grown upon the same land repeatedly.
year after year, and change of fertil-
izers is beneficial. After barnyard ma
nure has been used, poultry manure
would be effective, and occasionally
dressing of phosphate of lime would be
advisable. The best standard fertilizer
for onions is night soil, taken out of
cess-pools, mixed with dry earth, and
left to stand few weeks until the heap
is incorporated. Four or five wagon
of the night-soil, with twice its bulk of
earth, would be sufficient for an acre.
Ten barrels of pure poultry manure,
mixed with an equal quantity of fine
earth, would make q fair dressing for
one acre of onions. AS onions are sown
or planted closely in drills near together,
the fertilizer is best applied broadcast
and narrowed or raked into the surface
soil. By growing this crop repeatedly
on the same plot and using poultry ma
nure, night-soil and super-phosphate Of
lime alternately, the soil may be entire.
ly free from weeds in few years.

WHY SEEDS FAIL.


In the first place, however, we will
examine the causes of failure. If small
seeds are planted too deep, they either
rot in the damp cold earth. for the want
of the warmth necessary to their germi-
nation. or, after termination, perish be-
fore the shoots can reach the sun and
air; so that which was designed for
their support and nourishment proves
their grave.
If the soil is stiff clay, it is often
too cold at the time the seeds are plant
ed to effect their termination; for it
must be understood that warmth and
moisture are necessary to the germina-
ton of seeds. Neither of these will do
alone. Seeds may be kept in warm,
dry room, in dry sand or earth, and they
will not grow. They may be placed in
damp earth. and kept in low Temporal
ture, and they will most likely rot.
though some seeds will remain dormant
long time under these circumstances.
But place them in moist earth in a
warm room, and they will commence
growth at once. Another difficulty
with heavy soil is that it becomes hard
on the surface, and this prevents the
young plants from coming up" or if,
during showery weather, they happen to
get above the surface. they become locked
in and make but little advancement I'M
less the cultivator is careful to keep the
crust we'll broken; and in doing this the
young plants are often destroyed. If
stiff, the soil where small seeds are sown
should be made mellow, particularly on
the surface, by the addition of sand and
| light mould.
If seeds are sown in rough, lumpy
ground, portion will be buried under
the clods, and will never grow and
many that start. not finding a fit soil for
their roots, will perish. A few may es-
cape these difficulties and flourish. -

HINTS ON WORKING BUTTER.-Do not
work too much nor too fast. Work
slowly until all the salt is thoroughly
and evenly absorbed. Otherwise the
butter will not be of uniform color.
Working it too fast will destroy the
grain, and the butter becomes salvy and
lard-hke in its texture. Let it stand or
put it away in the tray for twenty-four
hours. Then work it enough to remove
all the buttermilk or surplus brine. SO
that the butter may become dry or like
a piece of cheese. Mould into rolls,
and set these away for twenty-four hours,
or until they become hard and firm.
The cloth should now be put on, so as
to cover one end, while the other is left
open for the stamp. The cloth should
be cut in pieces of exact size and dipped
in brine, and the butter rolled when the
cloth is dripping wet. Butter should
never come in contact with the bare
hand. When in bulk it can be handled
with ladle and fat paddle.-Jos~na

The San Francisco Post mentions
recent case of spontaneous combustion
which occurred lately in a drinking-sa-
loon in that city, the details of which
are horrible to the last degree. The
victim was very hard drinker. On
the day of his shocking death he had
just been discharged from the hospital,
where be had been under treatment for
delirium tremens. He had been drink
heavily for several hours, and staggered
into the saloon nearly insensible, but
asked for more drink. This was re-
fused, and he staggered toward the gas
jet to light the stump of cigar. A
moment after he fell to the floor with a
low moan, fash of fire, his head en-
veloped in thick black smoke, while
flames issued from his mouth and ears
with horrible smell of burned flesh.
Prompt but unsuccessful efforts were
made tie save his life. His face was
perfectly black and partly charred with
moist SCOT. His eyes were open, and
his mouth was completely roasted on
the inside. A more horrible death can
hardly be conceived-literally he was
.sset on fire of hell" The drinker OF
alcohol should be admonished, and alb
stain now and evermore; otherwise,
verify, "His eyes shall see his destruc.
ton, and he shall drink of the wrath OIL
the Almighty.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HABITS.

Horace B. Clafin, a prominent mer-
chant of New York, is as quaint and hu-
morous as he is keen-witted and rich.
They tell the following good story about
him:
On the 10Th of February, about five
o'clock, Claain was sitting alone in his
private Office, when a young man, pale
and care worn, timidly Knocked and en-
tered. "Mr. Clafin," said he. II have
been unable to meet certain payments
because certain parties have not done as
they agreed by me. and would like to
have $4,000, l come to you because you
were friend to my father, and might
be friend to me-
"Come in, said Claflin, ''come in and
have glass of wine" No." said the
young man, Il don't drink "Have a
cigar, then o. '.No-I never smoke"
"Well," said the joker, 81 would like
to accommodate you but l don't think l
can"
Every WELL" said the young man, as
he was about to leave the room, 81
thought perhaps you might. Good day,
Sir Hold on said Mr.. Clafin !;

.'No, sir | am superintendent of the
Sunday School.
"Well," said Clafin. with tears in his
voice and his eyes, too, .'you shall have
it, and three times the amount, if you
wish. Your father let me have $4,000
once, and asked me the same questions.
No thanks owe it to you for your ia
