Small Farms,

The French people have more
ready cash in individual possession
than any other nation in the world.
1t is not the wealth of nation that
makes the people rich, but the gen
eral diffusion of wealth. This is
the case in France. The French
are q nation of small farmers
There are more landowners in that
country than in America. The
farms are small; the majority are
under 20 acres, and very large
number under ten. 1t may not be
that is the only reason for the
money wealth of these people; they
are notably economical and thrifty.
But the small farms have something
to do with it. The farmers in
some of the eastern counties of
Pennsylvania, where the farms are
comparatively small, could well
compete with the French In their
possession of money wealth. Al
most every farmer has his hoard in
vested. These men have a habit of
feeding a few head of beef cattle or
flock of sheep every winter. They
sell little grain but wheat, and feed
their fodder and coarse grain to
purchased stock. They make more
profit to the head of stock than is
made upon large grazing farms, and
their land is rich and high priced,
because of the large quantity of
manure that is made in feeding
stock. The consumption of meat
is continually increasing and with
the extention of manufactures there
are more mouths to fill every wear,
so that it is not probable the sup
ply can ever become excessive.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
A Home for Mother.


1t is delightful to turn from the
too frequently sad example of dime
novel bitten runaway boys bringing
them selves and their parents to
grief, to pure picture OF final
love and duty like this: Says q
letter writer from a Western city !:
"Business called me to the Uni
ted States Land Office. While
there a lad apparently sixteen or
seventeen years of age came IN and
presented certificate for forty
acres of land.
1 was struck with the counte-
nance and general appearance of the
boy, and inquired OF him for whom
he was purchasing the land.
"For myself, sir"
then inquired where he got the
money. He answered:
Il earned it,
Feeling then an increased desire
for knowing something more about
the boy, I asked about himself and
parents. He took a seat and gave

my mother, brother and sisters
got an axe and went into a new

"And what will you do with you
father if he continues to drink?"

farm he will feel at home and b
happy, and ! hope become a sobe

By this time the receiver handle

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Weioht of Stock.

The following rule for hndlng
out the weight OF an animal Dy
measuring may prove convenient;
See that the animal stands square;
then take his circumference behind
his shoulder lade-thls Is the glrtn.
Then measure IRON the bone Oh the
tail which pIumbs the line with the
hinder part OF the bullock, and d.
rect the string along the back to
the forepart OF the shoulder blade
this will be The length. Then work
the figures thus: Suppose the grin
of bullock feet 4 inches, length
feet 3 inches, which multiplied to-
gether make 33 square superficial
Ieet; anu this multiplied by 23-the
numter of pounds allowed for each
superficial foot of cattle measuring
less than Z feet and more than i've
feet in girth-makes 759 pounds.
When the animal measures less
than 8 ana more than 7 IN glrth, 81
is the number of pounds to be estl-
mated for each superficial foot
And suppose small animal 10
measure 2 feet in girth and 2 feet
in length, these multiplied together
make feet, which multiplied by II
the number OF pounds allowed
for each square foot when cattle
measure less than 3 feet in glrth-
makes A pounds. Again, suppose
"a calf or sheep, ETC., TO measure 4
feet 6 inches in girth, aud 3 feet
9 inches in length, that multiplied
together makes l6 square teet, Auo
these multiplied by l6-tne number
Of pounds allowed for cattle meas
uring less than five aud more thai
3 feet in glr.h-make 257 pounds
The dimensions Of cattle, sheep
calves and hogs taken this way
will give the weight OF the lou
quarters of the animal, sinking th'
otal. A deduction must be mad
tor animals half-fat-of one poun(
in twenty from those that are tat
and for a COW that has had calve
one pound must be allowed, in ad
dition to the one for not being iai
upon every twenty.

Cider.-The best cider is made
from late ripening, sound fruit, and
in cool weather, when the fermenta-
ton is gradual. Many early apples
may be worked up into sweet cider
and sold as such, or made into vine

DDS of turning to account fruit that
would otherwise be lost.

The report of Gen. Walker, Su-
perintendent of the Census Bureau,
will be submitted to Congress by
the fifteenth of December. This
Congress will probably make the
new apportionment. The present
House consists of two hundred and
ninety three members, or one for
each 13I,425 Inhabitants on the ba-
sis of the census Of 1870. If the
membership is not increased, the
divisor for the next apportionment
would need be about 10000. This
would reduce the New England
membership from twenty eight to
twenty four. Pennsylvania would
lose two members, New York three
and New Jersey one. The Western
States would gain seven and the
South three members. The North
ern States together will show a net
loss of three and the Southern
States a gain of three.

CHOOSING A SITE
For the Soldiers Monument.

The Council Committees on Ordl-
nance and Streets, Alleys and Grades,
were summoned 10 meet 1T O'Clock,
Yesterday afternoon, To consult with the
representatives OF the Veteran AsSoCia
ton and Trustees Of the fund IN regard
t. the location OF the Soldiers MOnu-
mcnt. The Capital was named rs the
rendezvous and when the reporter got
there lac found a hall dozen members oil
the various bodies budding in the door
Of ST. Matthews Church for protection
nom the keen north wind, which blew
shrilly, in spite Of the bright warm sun.
About a hall hour after the appointed
time, when the last addition had strag-
glcd in, it was found no quorum was
present in either Of the COun-
Gil committees. Just then Walter
Peterson walked in with a.drawing
under his arm and it was decided to dis
cuss, informally, the proposed location.
The first place was the square OF the
Capitol and on the northwest corner Ui
the stone pavement, DIR. Logan and u.
+. Caldwell drew an ellIpse having %
and Is feet for its long aud short diane
tiers, respectively. This left a space OF
about IL feet between the gas lamp on
the corner. Very tew suggestions were
made and that location was idly dis
cussed Some one mentioned the inter.
section of Chapllne and Fourteenth
streets, but it seemed, at first, to meet
with hut little favor. Mr.. Peterson sug
gested that the party 20 up there aud
take look and they went. MIR. i. had
q drawing Of the position OF the monu-
ment and railing at that point, showing
the change OF the Elm Grove road
With Mr.. Caldwcll's assistance he laid
this out on the street and marked oil
the curves on the sidewalk, where it is
proposed to round oil the corners.
There is more space at the intersection
than one would imagine, and 1t was
seen that when the track was relald,
there will still he loom for seven foot
wagon way. The Elm Grove Company
will he compelled TO relay its track IRON
a point 80 feet from the monument on
each side, SO ~ To give gentle curya-
ture. The water main, which passes at
this point, will also have to be removed
TO one side, Us the base OF the monu-
ment is eight feet deep.
What the Joint committee will decide
upon is not known. There being no
quorum Of either the two sites were
not formally discussed. 1t was evident,
at the first, that majority of those pres
ent favored the Capital square, but
mfny changed their minds after viewing
the other. Another meeting will be
held shortly and conclusion reached.
This must bee done l;iorc the next meet.
ing Of Council, which will be special
one, probably next Tuesday.
