Watch.

There is no business OF calling,
or profession, that requires more
watchfulness and good sound judg
ment than farming. Many farmers
do not watch or make the most OF
their opportunities. There are
others that do,and they are enabled
to pay their debts, educate their
families, have the ordinary COM
forts of life and lay up something
for old age. The farmer like every
other business man, must watch all
the details of his business. Farm
ers, watch your labor. Do not take
too much land in hand to cultivate
if you do you will get behind
Do not try to plant and work all
your land, but plant only part
and work 1T thoroughly. Do not
keep mean stock or too much of it.
Get a good breed of cows; do not
keep too many and take care of
them; give them good food and
they will repay you. Watch over
your tools and keep good ones
Worn out plows and broken hoes
scratch the surface of the soil and
will accomplish but little. Good
tools require less work, give better
and produce better
crops.

Sheep Breeding South.

The Prairie Farmer has long
urged upon it's readers south that
there should be good profit in
sheep-breeding, especially in the
hill region thereof. In relation to
the same subject, the Kentucky
Live Stock Record, quoting a To-
cal journal of the State, says that
in 1856 z. and G. Brown, brothers,
entered into an agreement to buy
ID good Cotsvold ewes, continue the
partnership ten years, retain the
eve lambs and sell the wool and
male sheep each year. The orlgi
nal Is ewes cost them $l58 cash.
July, Is, 1877. they had sold 81, 800
worth of wool and sheep; last year
they sold 800 worth; this year
the sold $500; end now they have
on hand 100 head of sheep that
$4,000 can not buy. The net sum
of SOTO realized by 10 ewes and
their produce, is equal to lending
money at nearly the astonishing
rate of 932 per cent. per annum. 1t
adds;
"This must be taken ss of the
past period, when combed wool
was bringing large prices, and Cots
void sheep more than at present.
But now nothing on a farm pays so
well as sheep, except well kept
fowls. In the future the great
price of mutton will make up for a
less price Of poel."-[ Prairie Far

Never marry a man who has only
his love for you to recommend him.
That is very fascinating, but ii
does not make the man. If he is
not otherwise than he should be,
you will not be happy. The most
perfect man who does not love you
should never be your husband; but
though marriage without love is
terrible, love only will not do. II
this man is dishonorable to other
men, or mean, or given to any vice,
the time will come when you will
either loathe him or sink to his
level.
1t is hard TO remember, amidst
kisses and praises, that there is
anything else in the world to be
done or thought of but love making;
but the days of life are many, and
the husband must be a guide to be
trusted-a companion, friend, as
well as lover.
Many a girl has married a man
whom she knew to be anything but
good, because he loved her so,
and the flame has died out on the
hearthstone of home before long
and beside it she has been sitting
one that she could never hope
would lead her ward-one
who, if she followed him as a wife
should, would guide her steps to
perdition; marriage is a solemn
thiug-a choice for life, be careful
in the choosing.

though the links are at last broken
that have so long united us IN their

live once again in fancy the exist
ence that has been ours, and which
we prize more than eyer now that it
can be lived in reality no more.

What a dowdy she is! No wonder

m SCHOOL DAYS.

Still sits the school-house by the road
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by Taps oficlal;ss
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife's carved initial.
The CHARGE al freseoes on its wsIl;s
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school
Won't storming out TO playingl
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window-pan
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled, golden curls,
And brown eyes full of growing,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish ia Eor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered,
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
DE saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
AS if a fault confessing.
90 Pm sorry that spelt the word;
] hate to go above you,
Because"-the brown eyesloWer fell
"Because, you see, love youp
Still memory to q gray-hAired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear grill the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growingl
He lives to learn, in ife's hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph, and his loss,
Like her-beeause they love him.

Home Piety.

1t is in the family that a mans
piety gets tested. Let the husband
be cross and surly, giving slap
here and cuff there, and then see
how out of sorts everything gets.
The wife grows cold and unamiable,
too. Both are toned on one key.
They vibrate in unison, giving tone
for tone, rising in harmony or dis
cord together. The children grow
up saucy and savage as young
bears. The father becomes callous,
pecyish, hard, kind Of two-legged
brute with clothes on. The wife
bristles in self-defense. They de-
velop an unnatural growth and
sharpness of teeth, and the house is
haunted by ugliness and domestic
brawls.
Is that what God meant the fam
lily to Belle who made it a place
for love to build her nest in, and
where kindness and sweet courtesy
might come to their finest NANTES
tations? The divine can be real
lied. There is sunshine enough in
the world to warm all. Why will
not men come out of THAR caves to
enjoy it2 Some men make it a
a point to treat every mans family
well but their own-haye smiles for
all but their kindred. Strange, pit
liable picture of human weakness,
when those who love best are treat
ed worst; when courtesy is shown
to all, save our friends.
If one must be rude to any, let it
be to some one he does not love
not to wife, sister, brother or pa
rent. Let one of our loved ones be
taken away, and memory recalls a |
thousand sayings of regret. Death |
luickens recollection painfully
The grave cannot hide the white
aces of those who sleep. The cof-
in and the green mound are cruel !
They draw us farther
han we should go. They force US
o remember. A man never sees so
ar into human life as when he looks
,ver a wlfe's or m theirs grave.
His eyes get wondrous clear then,
md he sees, as never before, what it
5 to love and te loved; what it is
o injure the feelings of the loved.

The Marvellous Feat a Woman Can
Perform.

A woman will go on a shopping
tour in quest of a score Of dissimi-
lar articles. The ribbon must be
ten and a half fingers long and half
a finger wide; the carpet must be
like Mrs. Spriggin's. only that she
wants hers brown where Mrs. S. S
is green; the first knot in the string
she carries in her pocket is the
width of the window curtain; the
second knot the length of Susie's
skirt; the third knot, of the picture
cord, and the whole string the dis
lance around the center table. Be
sides these she has buttons to buy,
cotton to select, silk to match, and
heaven knows what not; and she
will come home at night without
having made a single blunder, and
with a full satchel and an empty
pOcketbook, and express packages
will be arriving for week TO come.
But the strangest part of this
strange, eventful story is, that she
can also tell you of-hand the cos
tune of every lady she saw during
the tour, either on the street or in
any of the numerous shops she Wis
tied. Can a man do this?

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Capital and Labor.

There is no real conflict of inter-
est between capital-we mesn, of
course, capital invested in produc-
tive industry-capital that employs
labor. The conflict about which we
hear so much. which most men
seem to think has a real existence,
which has caused so much disaster
and sufferingin the worlds an imag-
mary one, having its origin in a
spirit of narrow, blind selfishness
that sacrifices to the creed of the
present the best interests Of the fu-
ture. No better rules for business
in all It's departments were ever
promulgated than these, taken in a
mere business point of view: "Bear
one another's burdens" "Do unto
others what you would have them
do unto you"
Capital and labor are co-partners,
workers, mutually dependent,
each interested in the others wei
fare What profits one directly,
profits the other Indirectly; what
Injuries one, eventually Injuries the
other. 1t is to the interest of CAPT
tai that the wages should be high:
it is to the interest of labor that the
profits of capital should be large
The effect of high wages is to make
workingmen and workingwomen
not only more prosperous, comfort
able and healthier, stronger, more
skillful, and to attract to the de
partment OF industry in which the
high wages prevail workers pos
sessing these desirable qualities.
Large profits to the capital employ
ed in an industry, build up and ex-
tend that industry, thus securing
larger. more constant and remuner
alive employment for labor.
When either capital or labor,
blinded by greed, seeks to increase
it's gains at the expense of the 9th
er by apprOpriating to itself an un-
due share of the joint earnings, it
may gain temporary advantage,
but in the end it will re act to it's
own injury. Labor may wiring
from capital higher wages than it is
able to pay, but In the end it will
bankrupt capital and destroy the
industry in which both are employ
ed Capital may screw wages
down to the starvation point, but it
will thereby render labor less effec
tive-crush it or drive into new
fields. Each would repeat the folly
of the man who killed the goose
that laid the golden egg.-[ Patron
