{ Cyclopedia for $4,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time, is the publica-
tion Of the 'Library Of Universal
Knovlsdge," in 20 volumes of nearly
LOCO pages each, handsomely bound.
for so cents per volume, or $1,000
for the set. It is reprint entire OF
the (lS79) Edinburg and London edi-
tion of the "Chambers' Encyclopedia"
"a Dictionary Of Universal knowledge
for the People" with very large addi-
tions upon topics of special interest to
American readers. The amount Of
matter will somewhat exceed that Of
Cyclopedias OF Appleton or johnson,
though the price is but fraction of
their cost. Volume one is to be ready
early in September, and the others
will follow at very short intervals
The remarkably low prices are accoun-
ted for by the method of sale, to the
subscribers direct, saving them the
large commission, often so or GO per
cent, paid to agents or dealers, also,
by the recent great reduction in the
cost of making books, and by
making very large sales. This
certainly is work that the millions
will appreciate. Special inducements
are offered to early subscribers and to
clubs. .....
The same publishers have recently
issued editions Of "Chambers Cyclope-
dia of English Literature" A vols,
$500, formerly sold in 2 vols for So

why the street sprinklers did not come

they are not entitled to the same privi-

HOME AND FARM,
A Home in the Country.

A writer in the New England
Farmer discourses thus sensibly
about how to have a beautiful
home:
1t does not always require
great wealth to possess a pretty
home. 1.-THE home is unpaint-
ed, woodbine or climbing rose
trained over the door or window
is a great improvent. But trees
| always thought one of the
prettiest ornaments to a farm
er's home besides, they are of
other value. How refreshing a
few sugar naples and elms look
near the house on a hot sum-
mer's day and if a few ever
greens are yet on the wind
ward side, they will afford as
much pleasure in the winter
season as deciduous trees do in
summer. Flowers, too, add a
great deal to the beauty of a
nome, and they should in no
wise be neglected. Let the
farmer prepare the ground, and
the wife and daughters viii be
CAD to plant and cultivate them.
As a general thing. farmers do
not like ''posies," and all time
spent on them is considered
wasted. But | say let US have
flowers, and help the women
folks cultivate them too. They
cast an influence of refinement
around ones home, besides re-
minding US of the goodness of
Godin giving US such beautiful
things to cheer US while at our
labors.

Well-Bred Cattle.

Having read in the Journal
several accounts Of heavy
weights of young cattle, here
with send you a sketch of a car
load of two-year-old steers I6
in number, which were fed by
Mr.. Stephen Child. of Farm
ingdale, and which weighed this
morning, after standing twelve
hours without food or water,
1927 lbs. each. They were re-
markably smooth, and a very
even lot, with good top and bot
tom lines. They were sold
some months ago to Mr.. Sam
uel w. Watts, at a "a per h.,
gross weight, and will be,in the
Chicago market tomorrow:
When we consider that these
cattle were bred by several
farmers, collected together
without any, special aim to
make extra heavy steers, and
purchased by Mr.. Child, last
October with ID others, at 500
per head, and allowed the range
of pastures and stalk-felds I'M
till January Ist before being fed
any corn, think their weight
remarkable, and a good evi
dence that Mr.. Child knows
how to feed cattle. And, furth-
err it has proven a very profit
able investmenr, for the differ
ence between $40, the cost, and
S72.53 Ia, the selling price,
certainly leaves a fair margin
for profit.
They have had the range of
good pastures for the past two
months, besides a liberal allow
ance of corn daily since Jan. Ist.
On April 22d Mr.. C. weighed
two OF these steers, and again
on May 27th, when one of them
had made the astonishing gain
of I62 lbs, in s. days. The
same two were weighed to-day, |
and showed again of 1870 lbs.
each in IS days, as attested
by Mr.. D. Humphreys, who
weighed them. Such results as
this will open the eyes OF the
average farmer quicker than
anything else to the necessity
of good blood and generous
feeding in order to secure early
| forgotto state that
the above mentioned cattle were
all high-grade Short-horns. l
hear of some farmers who
think already that Mr.. C,'s ex-
ample is worth following; and
We shall have more cattle that
lttain great weight at an early
age, and we have plenty of fine
herds from which to select
good bulls for use on our farms.

WHAT THE EaRH SHOULD BE.

The farm shoIld be not mere
ly a place where men subsist
and rear families says the Con-
necticut Farmer in the strictest
economy starving the soul to
add few more acres to the fifty
or hundred already obtain {,
and which in reality are not
thoroughly cultivated but a
home speaking of plcnty, a
home rich IN attractions. build
ings well kept shade and orna-
mental trees, lawns with walks
and Towering shrubs not forget
ting the furnished porlor and Ii
brary. The newspaper, mag
azine, pictures and music, poets
and history should be here
True, the farmers home is OF
! necessity a busy place but il
should not be all kitchen and
dairy nor all scythe and pillow,
not all an endless routine of
treadmill duties, but where the
farmer and his wife could find
some time each day to mingle
with books and in conversation.
Away from the hustle and clat-
ter of the town it should be the
place to grow large in judgment
and fine in taste. One of the
most hopeful indications of pro-
gress is the position occupied
by farmers and the growing
respect manifested toward them.
For practical, moral,,,and sethe-
teal culture, farmers children
have superior advantages.
The hills and forests with their
brooks and rocks afford ample
facilities forthe study of botany,
geology and natural history.
Nowhere are the heavens SO
broad or do the consultations
offer greater attractions to the
would-be astronomer than upon
the hill tops in summer or when
under the beautiful snow the
earth lies buried at our feet.
That these opportunities are ap-
preciated is seen in the demand
for agricultural colleges in all
our states. Il is not to be la
mented that all the graduates of
these colleges do not go back
to the farm upon which they
were reared. Many of them
become manufacturers, mer-
chants lawyers, doctors, and
ministers, carrying into the town
The practical good sense and
thrift that purihes and into ru-
raj districts with profession or
mercantile business, inspiration
TO active social intercourse that
overcomes reserve. So each
year the distance between town
and rural life is lesse1ing the one
getting more the scent of the
clover, the fields, and the pure
air which plays around the
mountain top, the other more of
the culture and refinement ofthe
city.

Work for a Living.

The most unfortunate day in
the career of any young man
is the day on which he fancies
there is some better way to
make money than to earn it;
for from that feeling springs the
the many eXtravagent and Wis
ionary schemes which are in
dulged in for the purpose of
gaining a livelihood without la
Dor. When a young man be-
comes thoroughly infected with
this feeling he is ready to adopt
any means for the accomplish
ment of his object; and if his
plans are frustrated and he is
foiled in his efforts, upon the
very crest of the wave which he
has already mounted and in
full view, is the temptation to
crime to shield him from the
disgrace which he thinks must
inevitably follow in the wake of
defeat. To those he yields, and
the first thing he realizes is to
find himself the violator of the
law a criminal in the eyes of the
community, and an inmate of
prison, waiting trial all
brought about for the wants of
a little manly hrmness in the
outset of life to prompt him to
choose an avocation in life
where the penny earned would
bring with it its sure reward.
Then let our young men spurn
the idea of obtaining money
without rendering an equivalent
let them be ready and willing
to occupy positions in life which
will give them the best possible
opportunityto develop their ma
tural talent and do good to
others while helping themselves.
In this way we may have a ma
ton of noblemen and women
which shall be source of profit
and pleasure to us and an object
Of wonder and admiration to
he world

Fan Planting of Trees.

If the work. is well done, fall
planting has its advantages,
Farmers usually can spare the
time better in the Fall than
Spring, tie roads are in better
condition to go for the trees the
tree gets an earlier start in
Spring sending out new roots
so it can stand the Summer
drought better. But the work
must be well done, or the tree
is likely to Winter-kill. In fill
ing in the earth about the roots
every space should be filled, for
while spaces of air are about
the roots the freezing will kill
the bark in such spots. The
bark of the roots is absorbing a
slight quantity of moisture all
Winter.
Hence in transplanting let US
know the Importance of placing
fine, moist earth and soil on all
parts of the roots SO the absorb
ing force of the roots may be
as little diminished as possible,
for we have cut off a considera-
bic portion of the roots in dig
ging and let US remember that
no tree dies without a cause,
and that the cause of a tree dy-.
ing when transplanted is the
want of that absorbing power
at the roots Exchange.

Dried fruit, such as apples
and peaches are bringing good
prices. Peaches, five to seven
cents per pound; apples, four to
seven cents per pound. Par
tiesat a distance from leading
markets, who are not justified in
shipping green fruits, should
dry them and save them in this
way. Notwithstanding the
scarcity of peaches this season,
a good many were allowed to
rot in the sections where the
crop existed in Arkansas and
Texas. The cost of shipping
dried fruit, which can go as reg
ular freight, is very light, and
the labor involved in saving and
drying it, comparatively small.
