1t should be borne in mind that
every farmer who will take the trouble
to keep up a tasteful appearance about

his neighbors to initiate him. Nothing

gardening when once it gets footing.

why suleiman Pasha was Drowned,

[Constantinople Letter to the New York Herald. |
The affair between Reouf and Sulei-
man has all the characteristics of a
deadly struggle, and one of the two will
probably go down for all time. Sulei-
man Pasha's case is that Reouf, as
Minister of War, has thwarted him at
all points, with a view of gratifying
personal hate and professional jealousy.
He even declares that Reouf left him at
Sophia for five days without information
of the fall of Shipka, and thus caused
the destruction of the army. Reouf
Pasha's case is that Suleiman, con-
sumed by lust for place, planned his
campaigns with the view of monopoliz-
ing all the renown which would attend
success. He says Suleiman refused to
cooperate with Mehemet Ali, when CO.
back to Roumania; that he refused to
aid Osman at Plevna for fear Osman
would be appointed Serasker; and that
at last when Reouf was made Serasker
Suleiman willfully threw away his
army, with two hundred guns, from
sheer spite. Both Generals have par
tisans. The people like Suleiman anc
believe in him, and they hate Reouf
who is Circassian. The Chamber O.
Deputies, professedly seeking to have
both Reouf and Suleiman's conduct in
vestigated, drew up list of questions
for Reouf to answer, which amounted
practically to a decision against Sulei
man. So Suleiman was to be tried by
tribunal composed of his prosecutors
In accordance with the Turkish system
Suleiman is under arrest pending tn
investigation.

The following from Mr.. Vick's
Monthly Magazine for February, is for
chile expression of what we have otter
tried to convey to our readers: In Eu
rope, farming is held in the highes
esteem-it secures the attention of mer
of the highest political and social posi-
tions. Even Royalty is not dishonoret
by contact with soil. For such persons
to engage in commerce or shop-keep
ing" as it is called, would be disgrace
Here. farming is degraded below tn
shop. Only farmer are words W,
often hear. not used as complimentar,
terms. The farm is not a place fo
stolid drudgery and unthinking toll, bu
a field for study, thought and research
a place where not only money but hon
orable name may be earned. When thi
is true of American farms and farmers
our young men will follow the occups
ton of their fathers and flowers wi
adorn every country home.

ITEMS FOR FIELD AND OUSE.

To wash chamois skins: Wash in
cold water with plenty of soap, and
rinse well in clear, cold water; thus
treated, the skins will never be hard, but
soft and pliable.
For boiled dough, use sweet milk and
baking powder in preference to sour
milk and soda. When ready for cooking
have the water boiling hot; pat in the
dough and do not cover. Boil slowly
fifteen minutes, according to size.
THE value of good barns must be more
apparent than ever to farmers, and we
hope this open and destructive winter
will cause hundreds and thousands of
good barns to be erected the coming
summer to protect stock and farm crops.
WHEN the farmer, though humble on
his eighty-acre farm, reads of so many
failures, bankruptcies and defalcations,
how supremely happy he should be
when he can look any man squarely in
the face and say, 81 owe you nothing"
BE kind to the COW, and at eventide

him to do for you; and your sheep

Mating Canaries.
bird Fancier.I

In the first place, canaries should
never be allowed to mate oftener than
twice in any one year. Some canaries
will raise as many as four litters, if not
prevented; but third mating is always
injurious, and often brings on disease
which quite ruins the cock bird as a
singer. The canaries while mating
should be fed on hard boiled eggs and
common oyster crackers, well soaked in
boiled milk, but, of course, made cool
before being fed to the birds. Hemp
seed should not be used, as it fattens the
birds. A piece of raw beef, highly
seasoned with Cayenne (red) pepper,
should be fed them as often as once in
each week. The cage should not be
moved if it can be avoided, and should
hang in darkened room. All canaries
while mating, like privacy. When the
eggs are hatched, feed the young birds
only on the yellow Of hard-boiled- egg;
for two weeks; after that mix hard, dry
crackers with egg and feed. Sometimes
the hen canary begins to make her nest
before the young birds are able to leave
it. At such times put new nest in the
cage, and leave plenty of food for tht
newcomers, as the mother often leave
them uncared for. Bits of tissue pa
per cut in fine pieces should be throw
around the new nest, in order to preven
the hen from picking the old one t.
pieces. Cotton should not be used, a

canaries; they often get caught in il

GLEANLNGs FROM THE MUSE.
HIS rrRsr BEAT FRIEND,

frhe following lines we're suggested BY the re-
marks Of a young Irish lad 10 his companion, as
they stood on the levee at New Orleans, watching
one Of the incoming steamships as she towed to
her moorings:
"That sight," said he, hslways brings to my
mind the day I left home and my dear old mother,
God bless heri shall never forget her looks as she
stood beside me, bravely struggling To keep back
her tears and look cheerful while she gave good
advice. And she kept up brsvely, too, untn the
last minute; then she gave way, sad the last pic

weeping form, led away By kind and sympathizing

Remember IT'S mother vhs speaks them,
And respect them, my darling, ior me.
You'll have plenty o. friends gather round you,

But the friend you are leaving behind you
Is the one that will always endure.
And think he has answered the cry;
For you see I am hrm, aye, and cheerful,
As bid you this last long goodbye.
Twill be lonesome at night time without you
For a while, but perhaps that won't last,
And your letters win comfort and cheer me
It'll the hunger and heartache have passed.
In choosing your friends, boy, remember
The lesson you've always been taught;
A heart that Ia worth the possessing
Can never be hartercd OFT bought.
And n sometimes you're heartsick and lonely
In that great distant land, far away,
Don't enter the rumsellers palace

Though Il give you a transient delight

The poor moths that follow the light.
A nd their wings arn't strong enough, Kushla,
To bear themselves safe out Of harm;
And when poverty comes they will leave you

So be true 10 q dne sense Of honor;
Twill carry you safely along,
And the prayers Of your mother will aid you

Take my blessing-the best can give you;

THE Russians are SO exasperated
against the English that very curious
incidents of it occur. There is, for in

burg letter, dated February 2S:
&C An English LADY, have the fact
on the best authority-recently took a
sledge to proceed to Vassili-O -Ostroff, and
entered into conversation with the
isvostchik. He thought from her accent
that she was German, but upon being
told that she was an English-woman, he
got off the sledge and refused to take
her any further. The English, he said,
had shown themselves such enemies of
the Russians, and such friends of the
Turks, that he would not serve them.
The lady was obliged to call police
man, who. of course, compelled the
ultra-patriotic isvostchik to take her to
the end of her journey. The man re.
luctantly did SO, grumbling the while
but at the end of the journey he posi-
lively refused to receive fare"
