To make shoe pegs enough

and to make our lucifer matches
10000 cubic feet of the best
pine are required every year.

600 cords of birch, beech and
maple, and the handles of tools
10000 more. The baking of
bricks consumes 1000, 600 cords
of wood, or what would cover
with forests about $4,000 acres
of land. Telegraph poles al
ready up represent 10000 and
their annual repair consumes
about 100000 more. The ties
of our railroads consume an

acres, and to fence all our rail
roads would cost s45,ooo,ooo
with a yearly expenditure of

ORIGIN OF QUARRELs.-The
sweetest, the most clinging af-
fiction is often shaken by the
slightest breath of unkindness.
as the delicate rings and tendrils
OF the vine are agitated by the
faintest air that blows in sum-
mer. An unkind word from one
beloved, often draws blood from
many a heart which would DEFY
the battle-axe of hatred or the
keenest edge of vindictive satire.
Nay, the shade, the gloom of the
face familiar and dear, awakens
grief and pain. These are the
little thorns which, though men
Of a rougher form make their
way through them without feel
ing, acknowledgements per
sons of a more refined turn in
their journey through life make
their travelling irksomc and ur-
pleasant.

Agricultural Notes.

Don't have too many irons in
the fire at once.
Good fences are cheaper than
lawsuits with neighbors.
Be a neighbor to your neigh
bors; many are only near dwell
ers.
Use improved implements
there is no economy in working
with poor tools.
Exposure weakens sstead of
making stock hardy; the tough
ening process is not scanty food
without shelter.
Let the teams be worked as
occasion offers; reasonable
quantity of exercise is beneficial
even in bad weather. Ofcourse
they should receive abundant
food at all times, and be provi-
ded with needful shelter.
Do not expect to make a for
tune in a single year in any en-
terprise; such things seldom hap
pen, and sometimes we are led
to believe that such successes
are disastrous in the long run.
Slow and sure is the safest motto
in any industry.
1t is now time to be looking
for seed for the coming crops; in
this connection we beg to sug-
gest that it is the widest eXtrav-
agance to buy ordinary seed
because it is cheap. The best
is the cheapest, no matter how
much money it costs.
Ifyou have no orchard, plan.
one; begin now; buy a few STAN
dard trees from reliable men; do
not risk buying of unknown and
irresponsible men. A year lost
is money lost; be sure therefore
to know what you need and that

True as Gospel.

The Statesman hit the nail on
the head when it published the
following:
"a newspaper man never
hears of the thousand good
things he writes, but let him ut
ter a word in the hurry of think
ing and of writing what he
thinks, which impinges upon
the prejudices or wounds the
sensibilities of his readers, and
the very heavens are rent with
execrations,"
And there is another refiec-
ton that might be combined
with the above. We remember
once an advertiser disseminating
his card, because as he argued,
nobody read newspapers" We
bore the deprivation of his pat
ronage with calm resignation,
and the paper was issued every
morning Mondays excepted
as regularly as usual. Not many
weeks elapsed before necessity
impelled assfour-line aliusion to
the ex-advertiser, as figuring in
a little dispute that could not
well be kept out of the paper.
1t was an admissible allusion,
too-notlling scurrilous, profane
or malicious about ia little
terse, TO be sure, but plain and
strictly truthful. Behold the re-
sult. The ex-advertiser was
knocking at the sanctum door
before the newsboys had finish
ed their rounds, and he was as
mad as a wet hen. why" we
told him, what does it matter
if your name did get in the pa
PERI You say nobody ever
reads the papers" That silen-
ced hinl-he was hoisted on his
own petard-but we believe he
changed his opinion about the
influence of papers.-Waeo Tel
