AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
The Farmers Boom. "

From an agricultural standpoint
last year was, up to that time, the
most succe ssful one TO the farmers
of this country that We have had
during the late decade. With Ten
nessee, and few other States, such
was not the case, but take the coun-
try all over and the year 1878 de
served to be called, as it was by
many, 1.-THE great harvest year. "
But il we take the statistics OF our
agricultural products up to this
time, the yield in all things for 1879
will for exceed it, to say nothing of
the better prices they brought
Certainly q more cheerful outlook
for the American farmer has never
presented itself than at present.
Prices are not only good. but every
thing indicates that they will con-
tinue so, and many of our products
will certainly go higher. The rap
I'd increase of our exports of bread
stuf1s shows that the world is de
pending more and more on US every
ear tor food At present, 1t looks
as if European war is inevitable
one that will involve the strong
est and most productive countries
of the old world. If it should oc-
cur, they will naturally look to
America for supplies, not only OF
breadstutfs, but munitions OF war.
With the present great revival in
business of all kinds, and the pros
poets tor continuance of good
prices for all farm products, it is
safe to predict that the boom of
our agricultural prosperity has just
begun Rural Sun.

What Our Young Folks are Reading

The tiashy newspapers that are
sold upon the news stands, and the
vile publications that are hawked
about more secretly, are rot, how
ever, tie whole of the mischievous
reading that fall into the hands of
our boys and girls. The libraries
the pubic libraries, the Sunday
school ibraries-furnish them with
great deal of reading that, as they
use it, is extremely hurtful to them.
The statistics that our Libraries
give US, showing the excess of nov
els over all other classes of books
issued to the patrons of the libra
ries, give US food for rather dis
couraging reflection. From the
Hartford Public Library ole boy

children's minds at the end OF such
carnival OF sensational Even nc
books of positive immoral character
are admitted into the public libra
ries, it is clear that the provision
of so much mental excitement fol
our young people is doing them
great damage.
The late convention of Librarians
in Boston discussed this matter
very earnestly and tried to reach
some practical conclusions. One
radical suggestion was that city
OIL town has no right to tax the PEG
pie for the furnishing Of mere
amusement To ANYBODY, and that
therefore no fiction that is not
clearly educational in its character
should find room upon the shelves
of the public libraries. Another
proposition was that school chill

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS.
Use Good language.

A writer, in advising youth to
abandOl slang and acquire the
habit of writing and speaking good
English, says:
The longer they live be more
difficult the acquis; tiOn of good Ian
gusge will be; and if the golden age
of youth, the proper time Tor the ac-
QUESTION of language, be passed IN
abuse, the unfortunate victim OF
neglected education is very proba-
bly, doomed to talk slang for he.
Money is not necessary TO procure
this education. Every person has
it in his power. He has To use the
language which he reads ins,ea f
the slang which he hears;~ To form

Scrap Books.

To carefully lay aside a good
thing, not Immediately needed,
against a time when it may he
wanted, is only a matter OF common
prudence in every day life. The
farmer does SO with his seeds, with
his agricultural tools and imple-
ments, and with his money; but he
seldom does so with a good article
in his paper. 1t happens not IN
frequently that an instructive arsi-
Gle appears in this and similar jour
nails at a time when some OF the
readers cannot straightway utilize
the information contained in it,
however useful It might be to them
at another season. Prudence would
in such q case suggest that the ar
ticle should be carefully preserved
for reference when its information
might be benefi ,ial; but often, even
if prudence's suggestion is at once
obeyed, carelessness soon loses the
paper.

Niggars.

The ridiculous fancy OF niggers
for the word "coiored" is one of
the strangest phenomena of the
times.
You may kick a Niger from
New Orleans to st. Paul and back

gentleman p"
There is nothing on earth will
rile niger quicker or more effec-
turally than to call him niger.

Mind Your Own Business.

Nothing but ultimate ruin stares
that farmer in the face who does
not pay personal attention to the
minute details of his farm. There
are a thousaud small leaks about
the management of an ordinary
farm that if not closely attended to
will surely bring the most hard
working farmer to bankruptcy and
ruin. A larger portion of the farm
ers can attribute their present con
dition to no other cause than a lack
of close attention to the small de
tails of the farm. Close supervIs-
ion of the machinery, tools, stock
and their feed, place for every
thing and everything ia its place.
No hired help is as much interested
in attending to these duties as the
farmer himself. Such a course
would, in a few months, or years at
most, enable many farmers who are
now on the downhill grade to again
begin to ascend, and if persevered
in it will surely make Roadway
against what would otherwise look
doubtful Maine Farmer.

House Plants.

A few simple rules will promote
success with house plants. Always
let the right temperature be Is de
grees lower than that of day
Change the air of the room thor
oughly every day, without allowing
a cold current ct air tO fall upon
the plants; this may often be done
through an adjoining room. Wa
ter when water Is needed, and on.y
then; il is better to leL a plant suf
fer for a little-as may be seen by
the tagging OF the leaves-than to
overwa er and keep, as too many
do, the soil in the pots in the con
dition of mud. Avoid dust as far
as possible, by covering the plants
while sweeping; but with all care
they will get dusty; those with
smooth leaves may be sponged
once a week, going over each leaf
with q soft sponge, or soft cloth,
damped with blood warm water.

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
10 Mothers.

Mothers, in your hands lies the
future of your son; on you devolves
the responsibility OF forming the
character of the coming man.
Would you make him a useful, hon
oTable member of society, begin
early to teach him the dignity OF
labor. Remember, the babe in your
arms, the prattler at your knee,
must one day lace the world, one
among the many drops of human
ity, to be judged, not by the tender,
partial eyes Of a parent, but by 8
critical community, whica will
award to him only such a position
as be merits; and in so far as your
efforts have helped to make it high
and honorable or low and mean, IN
just such proportions will be meted
out TO you your reward or punish
ment.
On every hand one sees men and
women, gifted by nature with noble
parts, and capable of filing the
lives Of fellow mortals with happi
ness, but their characters seem per
verted, in views they are narrow
and prejudiceG, in aims, selfish,
and they burden the lives of those
they should love with sorrow and
distress. Yet are they alone il
faults? Is this man or woman who,
from infancy has been naught but
indulgence, who has never been
taught TO consider the feelings OF
others, to blame for carrying out
the principles of their early teach
ings? Can We expect others to re-
member their duties while We neg
lect our own? Assuredly not; yet
how many parents Judging from
cCnduct) seem to think so. They
sow but tares, and when the thistles
come, bemOan the cup which is OF
their own preparing. Mother,
would you be your child's true
friend, guard him against the faults
and prepare him for lIfe's emergen-
cies. Find out the bend of his &c
MUS, and if he has none in partlcu-
lar, choose for him what you think
would be most to his interest, then
keep him firmly in that direction.
Carlyle says: know thy work
and do it, and work at it like a Her
cules." Your sons may not under
stand your motives to day, but in
alter years, with intellects matureG
and fully realizing their RESPONSE
oiIity, they will bless you Tor the
owing iorethought that prepared |
hem for what was to come.
