It Is not capital that most farmers
most need at either low or high rates of
interest, but quiet pe1seVering industry,
coupled with economy. Farming Is in
no sense q speculative business. Capt.
tai can not be turned over In a short
time. True farming, and the farming
that succeeds in the end, produces its
own capital. Let the best farmers in
the world borrow large sums of money
at the very lowest rates of interest, and
the operation will break nine out of
every ten. The soil is the farmers CAPT.
tai, and he must use his labor in con.
formity with the seasons to make his in~
come. II the Out-runs the seasons in his
haste to grow rich, he will surely fail.
That aversion to conform to the sunshine
and the rain, to move in concert with the
seasons, and the disposition to control
them, brings failure to the farmer. He
Is apt to persuade himself that the great
lever to enable him to do this, is bor-
rowed money.

When they are seen picking at lime
wash on the weather boarding of build
ings or on fences, it is an indication that
they should be furnished with calcareous
matter. Oyster shells, where they are
to be had, are the cheapest and best
source of supply. They should be
broken in pieces small enough for the
hens to swallow easily, and may be
given in liberal quantity. Where shells
cannot be obtained, broken bones will
do, but they are more difficult to break,
and scarcely so good. Old mortar fur
nishes lime, and hens are fond of picking
at it when they can do no better. Ground
bone and ground oyster shells are Id
by dealers in poultry supplies, and can
be bought at prices which viii repay
their cost. The shells of eggs used in

not without being crushed or broken.

FARM NOTES.

Mr.. David Gray told the Oneida
county farmers club that he had raised
a fair crop of potatoes in poor soil by
''placing the seed as near the top Of the
ground as possible; putting one good
hoeful eff soil on, then covering the hill
with large handful of wood ashes. In
Milling, the ashes are covered, and rain
carries down the alkali, which enriches
the plant"
The st tement to the effect that incl
ons raised from fresh seed bear a large
proportion OF male flowers and very few
female flowers, while, on the other hand,
seedlings raised from old seed will bear
many more female flowers than male, 4"

me Ruins OF Szegedin.

A correspondent of the Paris Steele
speaking OF the work going on at the
ruined city OF Szegedin, says: The
work of simply clearing away the ruins
is gigantic; however, men are engaged
on it day and night, even by torch-light.
Dead bodies are constantly being found.
Only few days ago the whole family Of
Prof. Szbabadi WAS got out. The unfor-
tunate people, nine in number, were
seen at the time of the disaster on the
top of their house, asking for help. But
the ruins still contain masses of human
bodies and those of animals in an adj
vanoed stage of decomposition. The
air is poisoned, and nothing is done to
disiniect it, and yet the matter must not
be postponed until the water has wholly
subsidized, FOR then the catastrophe might
be succeeded by epidemics' .

Advice to a New Choir Singer,


Dear Miss-This is an important
epoch in y ur lite. The first thing to
make a good choir sing is to giggle lit
tie. Put up your hair In curl papers every
Friday night, so as to have it in good
shape Sunday morning, If your father
is rich, you can buy some store hair. IF
he is very rich, buy some more and
build it high 10 onto your head; then
get high priced bonnet that runs up
very high, at the high pa of it, and get
the milliner to plant some high-g grown
artifcials onto the highest part of it.
This viii help you sing high, as soprano
is the highest part. When the tune is
given cut, don't pay attention to it; and
then giggle. Giggle good deal Whis-
per to the girl next you that En-
Jones, who sits on the second seat from
the front on the left nand side, has had
her bonnet trimmed with the same
dior exactly as she had last year. and
then put your book to your face and
giggle. Object to every tune unless there
is q solo in it for the soprano. Cough
and ahem good deal before you begin
to sing. When you sing a solo, shake
the artihcials off your bonnet, and
when you come to a high tone
brace yourself back a little, twist
20 head 10 one side and open
your mouth the widest on that
side, shut the eye just trife, and then
put in for dear life. When the preacher
gets under Roadway with his preaching,
write a note on the blank leaf in the
fourth part Ofsyour notebook. That is
what the blsnk leaf was made for. Get
somebody to pass the note to somebody
else. and you watch them while they
read it, and then giggle. If anybody
talks or laughs in the congregation and
the preacher takes note Of it, that is 8
good chance for you to giggle, and you
ought to giggle great deal. The
preacher darsen't say anything to you
because you are in the choir, and he
can't run q Westinghouse at both ends
without the choir. If you had q beau
before you went into the choir, give him
the mitten-you ought to have some
body better. Don't forget to giggle.

ParlOr scenes Mrs. Brown, who has spent
the summer among the White Mountains in
search OF health, and who seems to have
searched the whole mountain side without
being able to find pair of blooming cheeks
or an inch of heAlthful skin; Mrs. White,
who has remained at home because her hus-
band could not afford to go, but whose fresh
complexion and bright eyes seem to have
caught their bloom and brightness from
mountain breezes.
Mrs. B.-DeaF me, Mrs. White, how well

so healthy in this dreadful city? have been
to the White Mountains, 90 there every
summer, in fact, and I can't keep of the

Mrs. W. (smiling ).-I'n tell you the whole
secret, Mrs. Brown. You remember how
poorly was last spring, some days even be-
ing confined to my bed. DR.. - told Mr..
White to send me to the mountains, but I
knew he couldn't afford it, and I tried DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its effects
were so marvellous that I also tried his Col
den Medical Discovery to cleanse my system.
In my opinion one bottle of the Prescription
and the Discovery is better than six weeks
OF the White Mountains for a sick woman. I
have only been out IF the city week during
the whole summer; then my husband and 1
went to Buffalo and stopped at DIR. Pierce's
Invalids' and Tourists Hotel. The baths and
mechanical apparatus for treating patients
were alone worth going to see. Besides,
our accommodations were better than we
had at Long Branch last year, and the drives
and scenery are superb. Let me advise you
to use DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription,
and try the Invalids' and Tourists Hotel
next summe r instead of theWhite Mountains.

why They we're Discontinued and

We have repeatedly been asked when the
next Masonic Social would be given, and q
wonder has been generally expressed why
these very agreeable parties had ceased,
Zone having been given for three or four
weeks, instead of, as formerly, every two
weeks. Upon inquiry, VIC learn that the
Committee having them in charge, thought
that as q number Of parties had been given
lately. it was hardly worth while to give
another until there was a greater dearth Of
amusements. These parties were given to
supply q want Of amusement, and for the
purpose Of having q general good time,
and the object was fully attained, as all
who attended them will bear testimony.
But the Committee did not wish, by any
means, to force them on the community,
and therefore thought proper to have a rest
until the citizens Of our goodly town. their
wives, daughters and sweethearts expressed
q wish to have them renewed. As this wish
has been generally expressed, particularly
by our fair friends, for their especial bene-
fit the Committee nave concluded to give
another social one week from tonight
that is, en- Friday evening, the 28th inst.
We are also informed that the Committee
will make q change in the order which has,
heretofore been observed, in this. that they
will make them more Of the character OF
