Government can rise in moral status
much above the average of the nation
over whom it rules, and it's chief strength
lies in the perfect liberty which it ac-
cords to each individual to work out for
himself whatever is in him. All pat
ronage, all favoritism, all gratuitous
charity is enervating in the extreme,
while that Government which merely
removes barriers, withdraws hindrances
and clears the way for self-reliant effort
will, of necessity, be the strongest, its
power lying in the ability, Independence
and character of it's people.
To encourage in everyway self-help
should then be the aim of all philan
thropy, of all education, of all domestic
training, of all national rule. Individ-
ual Independence of thought and action
is the finest product that benevolence
can produce. 1t is a shallow and mis-
taken idea that the spirit of helpfulness
necesstates the spirit of dependence.
He who is selfish in his kindness, who
thinks much of the thanks and gratitude
he is to win, may prefer to offer gratu-
tiles and to make dependents; but the
truly generous man who has the gooC
of others sincerely at heart will rejoice
so to direct his efforts as to enable them
to help themselves and to taste the
sweets of independence. Let us not
only encourage self-help in others but
value it for ourselves as the most pre-
acquired to look to almost anything
outside of ourselves for strength and
happiness. We lean upon parents,
teachers, friends, systems, opportuni-
ties, promises, anything sooner than
upon our own resolute purposes, patient
perseverance,, unuagging industry and
unswerving honesty. We depreciate
our own powers and eNaggcrate the
ability of others to assist lis. Yet the
fact is that no one, however able and
however willing, can do for us one tithe
of what we can do for ourselves. They
can but open doors for us, we alone can
enter. If we are ever to amount to any
thing in our lives, it must be througl
individual determination and action; il
we are to have any mental power, il
must be through individual thought; ]
we are to attain any moral elevation o
character, it can only be through thu
patient and earnest culture of the indi
vidual conscience. So long as we leal
upon some one else S wisdom or strength
or superiority, SO long as we depent
upon fortunate surroundings, or ad
vantageous openings, or good infuen
ces to procure for us what our own un
daunted energy and industry ought t.
win, so long shall we remain feeble
wavering and useless members of soci
ETY.. But when we begin in earnest to hel
ourselves, waiting for no bre nth of fol
tune to watt us upwards, and for n
strong arm to bear us onwards, then w
come TO realize how full and rich is life
: and how large are our capabilities fo
filling worthily the part in it assigne
, to us. s.-Philddelphia Ledger.

A Long Journey For a Lover.

The Alexandria (Minn. Post tells the
following romantic story: In the sum-
mcr of 1859 regular mail service was es-
tablished, and early in 1860 Burbank &
Co. put in a line of stages. At this pc
riod in the history of Alexandria an in
cident occurred of a peculiarly romantic
character With the first trip of the
stage coach came two lassies from Scot
land rugged shores, one of whom was
on her way to Winnipeg or Fort Garry
to wed her Highland lover, who, in the
employ of the Hudson Bay Fur Com
pany. had crossed the sea before her,
and whose home was in the far-off wilds
of British America. This Highland lad
die had Travelled some 1000 miles from
the northwest of Fort Garry, at which
place he expected to meet his lady-love.
And here again is the truth of the old
proverb-that the course of true love
never runs smoothly-verified. From
some unaccountable delay of the stage
or Red River steamboats,, his loved one
failed to reach her destination at the
appointed time, and after waiting sew
eral days in anxious suspense, the young
Scotchman came to the conclusion that
his ''Bonnie Annie Laurie" " had either
forgotten her p1ighted vows or bestowed
the affections of her heart upon another;
and when his heart by hope deferred
grew faint within him, he turned his
face sadly in the direction from whence
he came, to drown thoughts and feel
ings in the deep, dark solitude of forest
wilds. Painful. indeed. must have been
the thoughts of that young girl, to find
on her arrival at Fort Garry, and after
thousands of miles of travel, that he fo1
whom she had sacrificed home, friends
and country, to brave the perils of ocean
and the dangers of wild and almost
endless wilderness, had kept faithfully
his tryst, and believing her inconstan1
to the VOWS plighted SO far away, had
returned to his forest home without her
Such constancy and devotion in young
and timid girl aroused the sympathy O.
those around her and special express
was dispatched in pursuit of the wan
dering lover, who at the end of two OF
three days was overtaken with the Joy
full tidings that she whom he had trav
eled so far to meet, awaited with anx
ious heart his coming. Let us draw
veil, as the novelists say, over the even
OF that happy meeting. 1t was to-
sacred in its details for the eye 0
curious mortals to behold OF the pen o
human to portray.

Corn For Green Fodder.

1t is of common occurrence in this
vicinity to have a midsummer drouth,
and consequently a period of scant feed
for all farm stock, where grass alone is
relied on, during the months of July and
August, and frequently in September
also; and all good farmers have for the
past few years been experimenting with
the different varieties of food recon-
mended, such as rye, oats, clover and
corn, each having its advocates as being
the best for the purpose of furnishing
green feed for dairy stock. While some
farmers grow them all, others cultivate
only corn fo. that purpose. I have cul-
tivated both corn and grass, but have
given the most attention to cora. Corn
for fodder is commonly sown broadcast.
| have found the drill system most sat
isfactory. But care must be taken not
to SOW too thick. In regard to varieties
of corn to cultivate for feeding purposes
in its green state, [ have selected three
varieties of sweet-corn as best suited for
this purpose, viz: Early Minnesota,
Moore Early Concord and Evergreen,
these varieties following each other in
succession, and furnishing the best of
feed in their season. The Early Mime
sofa comes into feeding the earliest. 1t
us either of the Others but is
an excellent early sort for the
first feeding. Ny rule is to begin
| to feed as soon as the ears are fit for
boiling for green corn, which will be in
this latitude about the last of July, and
to begin with light ration and increase
it to a full feed. 1t usually takes about
Il week to get the animals accustomed
to their feed; then they can be fed all
they will cat up clean, and this may
continue during the periid OF drouth, or
if desirable till winter. If we have
more than we want to feed green, it is
cut and put in shock to be fed out as
wanted. We cut and shock before the
ears get hard, and by so doing we think
we get the best of feed for all farm
stock that we have ever grown. For
calves and horses it is cut with a feed
cutter, and is all eaten clean, stalks as
well as ears.
After experimenting for years, pre-
fer to feed green fodder late in the day,
say from three to five or six o'clock for
the reason that cows when fed in the
morning will not care to Craze so indus
triously as those not fed. By omitting
to feed In the morning they will get a
portion of their feed from the pasture,
and then if fed green feed in a clean
manger thev will eat very liberal al
lowance from three to six o clock. They
are then MIXED and turned into thei1
night pasture, where they soon lie down
to rest and ruminate. while digestion is
converting their feed into milk and
flesh for future. profits to their owners.

The ADpIe.Tree BOrer.

Even where the borer is common but
comparatively few understand its histo-
ry. The perfect insect of the apple tree
borer is one of the long g-horned beetles;
it is about three-quarters of an inch
long, and has a pair of feelers more
than half as long as itself; its body is
brown, with two broad, nearly white
stripes, hence it is called the two striped
superda. The beetle is seldom seen, as
it is dormant by day but flies and works
at night. The insects begin to appear
this month, and next month the female
lays her eggs on the bark near the
ground. The young grubs soon bore
through the bark, and enter the tree,
where they live upon the sap wood, just
beneath the bark, forming cell OF eX-
cavation the size of half dollar. 1t
lives, eats and grows here for about a
year; then, having stronger jaws it in
the second summer bores upward to-
ward the center of the tree, making a
hole three or four inches long, which it
then curves outward until its upper end
reaches the bark again and, at the be-
ginning of the third winter, it makes a
bed and rests, in the next spring, be-
coming a pupa, and soon after changing
to a beetle which bores an exactly round
hole through the bark at the upper end
of its gallery, and comes out into the
world to lay eggs to produce more
borers. This is the life history of the
insect. Any remedy must be of a
kind to keep the young borer out, or to
kill it after it is in. Soap is found to
keep off the parent insect. The base of
the tree is kept clear of weeds and the
| lower part of the trunk is rubbed with
bn ayn1ioo iS ranaofnH Hl1.ir9C Cr
June if washed off by rains. Young
orchards are to be examined late in July
OF early in August. Weeds, trash, and
about an inch of soil are removed from
around the base of the tree. The bark
is carefully examined, if chips are found,
or the bark looks dead and dark, cut
into it with a sharp knife and cut the
borer out. If the insect has bored up
ward, it is to be followed by a wire; a
piece of whale-bone, or a twig, and
killed.-American Agriculturist.
