Be Kind to Your Animals.

1t is surprising how many farmers
there are that take no more notice of
their live stock than to get all the work
they can out of their oxen or horses,
and milk and butter from their cows.
kind word or n careSs Is never be-
slowed on a single occupant of the barn.
Now, we hold this to be in a measure
wrong; true, a farmer may have fine
lot of cattle in excellent condition, pro-
vided he gives them sufficient supply
of nutritious food, without any of this
extra kindness, but, at the same time,
kindness to dumb animals costs nothing,
while it is greatly appreciated by the
animals on which it is bestowed. Teach
your animals to love; learn them to fol-
low instead of fleeing from you; have
name for every member of the barn.
yard, and Il kind word for any one. Our
cattle depend upon receiving a hearty
good morning from us when we go to
the barn, just as much as any member
of our household, and in their mute
way show that they appreciate it. too.
We have no animal on The place that
our children can not approach and
aress. whether in the stable or in the
yard, and both have a mutual satisfac-
ton in being thus friendly; then,
too, there are advantages besides
those of mere satisfaction. Young
steers are far more easily man
aged when thus tame and docile
than when wild and frightened at
the approach of any one; it is as much
work to overcome the fear of a pair of
wild steers as it is to break in a pair
that are tame and docile at the COM
mencement, and the same thing applies
to breaking young colts. Farmers are
often far to chary of this kindness to
their domestic animals; just let such
change blame and seedlings for kind
words and caresses, and they will be
surprised to see how quick the wild
ones will become tame and docile, and
find that it will pay them well in the
end.-Dutchess Farmer.

An Elephants Thinking Apparatus.

The sagacious elephant has awel for
titled thinking apparatus. Mr.. Horna-
day, an elephant hunter, said in lee
ture at Rochester: IAN elephant to be
killed by the first ball must be shot
through the brain. But it is no easy
matter to reach this in the elephant, as
it is surrounded by an enormously large
skull, and is very small in proportion to
the rest of the body. The skull is so
large in order to give surface for the
attachments of the muscles of the
trunk, of which there are about 40, 600.
The skull is moreover composed of two
walls, and between tn ese are connected
long cells. The brain being thus pro-
tected, is extremely difficult to reach,
and elephants are often fired into as
often as fifty or sixty times before being
brought down. The range of vision in
the elephant is limited, his hearing is
not good, his powers of smelling are
poor, SO that it is an easy matter to
stalk him. The elephant has four vul-
nerable points: these are the temple,
the ear and eye, and the center Of the
forehead. IN n Tribune,

was constantly at the house-came in
every morning on his way to business,
and spent his evenings with them. The
children depended on him, so did Mr.
and Mrs. Glider; SO did Miss Shelley,
though she did not know it. We are
all SO constituted that we depend on
some one; no one, m IN or woman, is
wholly independent.
From the first of her max ng her
home with them, Miss Shelley did not
seek privacy: Mrs. Glider cordially in
vited her to be at home, and make the
general sitting-room hers as well. and
she did SO; sitting in the window with
bit of embroidery in her lap, or an
open unread book, she literally spent
her time watching the children. Mrs.
Glider used to watch her curiously; she
was as much absorbed in what they
said and did as if the solving of some
moral problem depended upon them;
and SO there did. The lady could not
draw her into conversation; as far as
they two were concerned, there was
unbroken silence; they seemed in fair
way never to become acquainted.
Sometimes in a sort of desperation she
went to her husband about it, but got
always the same comment: Eyes. wife,
/ know it is trying, but there has some
thing gone wrong with her; leave it to
time. and it will right itself. She looks
lonely. I'm sorry for her."
AS we have said, there were six chill
dren-three girls and three boys. They
were frank, open-hearted, impetuous.
They had their quarrels continually,
but they always settled their own difli-
culties. and they did SO justly; there
was no tyranny Of boy over girl. or girl
over boy; their rights were equal; the
thought Of their not being. never SEEM

any of these differences occurred, Miss

been so changed represents so much loss to
the manufacturer If he sells it on the basis
of the soluble or mono-calcic phosphate

chemists invariably calculate i'll. "At the
same time,' says Professor Tanner, ait
means an actual increase in the value of the
manure, for those farmers who use these re-
duced superphospha find that they are
generally more lasting in their action and
altogether more valuable manures. This is
matter of considerable Importance, for so
long as the present system OF valuation Is
maintained, so long manufacturers will be
compelled to sell, and farmers to buy, over
manufactured manures having a higher de
gree of solubility than is consistent with the

this question, says Although phosphates

nothing conclusive to bring forward in re-

insoluble phosphates" 1t should be under

term, mean entirely insoluble phosphates,
but refers to the slowly soluble, or bi-calcic
phosphates. We have taken too much space

The Money Made in Hill Town.

An old resident of the town of Phillips,
Franklin county, Maine, who seems to have
had taste for statistics and to have access
to the records, contributes to the Maine
Farmer report of the money made by farm
ing and carried away from Phillips in the
past sixty years. A long list is given, name
by name, of emigrants to the west, with
he money taken by them, and the whole
sums up $364,200. This takes account of
but part, and does not include any sums
sent away for investment, but only the cash
taken away by the principal emigrants.
Phillips is "away in the back woods and
among the mountains, snow-clad nearly half
the year." and has but fourteen hundred in
habtants Its bridges alone cost $500 a
year to maintain, and in the great freshet OF
1869 the damage was estimated at 100000
More than $4,000 went into railroads to be
lost and then with the help of three other
small towns "we built railroad to our
place costing 100000. Wehave' also a say
ings and national bank, the stock of the
latter $4,000 being all taken in one day.
This is the record of one New England hill
town, and we suppose it might be paraleed
by more than one such in Vermont. And
yet we hear the question "does farming
pay ?" 1t pays if the people pay" as they
CO." When it don't pay, you will usually
find the reason in four or five bloated hu

eaten out the substance of the people.

This was the beginning of an address of
S. Stacy before the cadets of temperance,
mere lads, who sat clothed in their bright
regalia of blue and red in long rows on the
settees in Franklin Hall, in South Brooklyn,
yesterday afternoon. The meeting was

Report of Inspector OF Finance.

From the advance sheets of Inspector Du-
Bots report for the year ending July LIST,
1880, it appears that the whole number of
depositors in the sixteen savings banks and
five trust companies of the state was "a, 500
an increase of 2,2l4 during the past year,
and 2,752 more than two years ago. Total
amount of deposits, s9,075,3l 80, an in.

residents, and $2,72S, 1873 90 by non-resi-
dents--an increase by residents of Sl,li3,-
574.S2, and decrease by non-residents OF
Sl47,OO8.2i. The apparent decrease of
nonresident deposits is explained by the
fact that the deposits of all parties whose
residence was unknown was formerly in.
oluded under this head, During the past
year the residence OF most of these parties
has been ascertained, and their deposits
placed under the head of residents. The de-
crease is apparent, not real, and is in no way
attributable TO the direct tax under the law
of 1873. 1t is believed that another years
experience will show an increase in this
class Of deposits, owing to the high reputa
ton the savings banks of Vermont maintain
in the neighboring states. II appears by
statistics furnished by the inspector that
24,5f0 depositors represent Sl,ss2 29037 of
deposits held in sums less than $3.50 each /;
that IL, 800 depositors represent 81, 1893 O54 O2
in sums over $3.50 each that 2iO depositors
represent s50S, 703.63 in sums over $4,000
each. The increase in the number of the
smaller class of depositors (under $3.50
each) is 6l2; over $3.50 each 1902.
The report further shows that there has
been credited to depositors, for interest on
deposits, aud on dividends to stockholders
in trust companies, 1927 Os22 While
there has been large increase in deposits,
there has been a decrease of Si4,lSi75 in
interest, credit and dividends paid. This
decrease is attributable largely to the tax of
one half Of one per cent under the law of
1873, and also to the lower rates at which
loals and investments have been made, and
to the fact that the banks have been carry
