Happy Homes.

"SpOnsa" IN the Courier-Journal
Few homes, l think, are what, un
der Goo's blessing, they should be
IL requires but little effort to make
home cheerful and happy. There
should be a deep and abiding love
between husband and wife, parents
a1d children, and tender forbear
ance towards each others faults.
Where these exist they cannot but
be Edens OF love; but alas! how
often do we see it otherwise. The
husband, who has taken solemn
vow to love and cherish, and the
wife TO love and honor, are drifting
slowly but surely apart. L hey do
not understand each other, though
in name they have been one for
years. They have different con
ceptions OF each others duties, and
can not act in concert. Instead of
having a quiet, loving talk, and
trying TO draw nearer together,
there are, perhaps, sharp and cruel
words, and the breach widens.
Unhappiness follows, and each
lays the burden OF faults on the
others shoulders. . erring judges |!

knoweth the thoughts and intents

First cast the besm out OF thine
own eye, and then shalt thou see

in a rack at It's side stand the

thing and few men understand it. 1t
lives and fourishes in the sunlight
of love, but withers like the mimosa
at the touch of an angry frown or a
cruel word. 1t cannot even thrive
in the atmosphere of indifference.
How many hearts are now strug-
Cling for existence in this sitting
atmosphere. Only few kind words
would admit the sunshine. An ap-
proving look or smile, a simple
''thank you" for any service done
would amply repay the toll.
Husband be ever courteous and
respectful to your wife; grant her
little requests, sometimes though
at your own inconvenience, and
your self sacrifice will be rewai ded.
Remember it is your prerogative to
throw around her the bulwark of
your love, and it should be so deep
and strong that no careless or cruel
missile should ever enter its hal
lowed precincts; but how often do
you trample upon this right. how
often harsh or impatient word or
tone which is remembered by you
no longer than it takes you to utter
it, is a winged shaft that strikes
and quivers in q loving heart. Hus-
bands, whose wives are not what
you think they should be, who ap-
pear to be fault-finding and capri
cious, try different plan from that
which you are now pursuing. Give
them deeds of kindness and words
of love, and see if your "desert will
not rejoice and blossom as the
rose"

Advice to Girls,

The lady who fills the chair OF
Professor Of Domestic Science in
the Illinois industrial University
has been giving sensible advice to
giIls in lecture at ST. Louis. She
called women the worlds home
makers, in listed that refo m in
women's education was the urgent
need of the times, and emphasized
the fact that intelligent cooks, ed
ucated housekeepei and enlight-
ened mothers We're beginning to be
appreciated. Women were not in
stin ctively good housekeepers an,
more than men were good mechan-
les or good farmers. 1t was an er
ror to suppose that in matters per
tanning to the home Instructors
was not. needed. 1t was said that
common sense alone was necessa-
ry, but common sense and proper
sense differed. Despite :heir gen.
eral appropriateness ninety nine
out of a hundred girls would still
persist in getting married. This
last assertion, which would be true
if there were men enough, possibly
supplies the key to a remedy.
Let it be enacted that no gIrl shall
get married until she can pass an
examination IN domestic science.

watered in; or may be given with
good effect in liquid state. The
best time to give quick acting slim
ulants is in summer, when the trees
are carrying a deal of fruit and
seem to require help speedily. The
best time for using solid manures
is in the autumn; they should be
applied just beneath the surface,
but not necessarily in immediate
contact with the roots. An inch or
two of the surface soil may be re-
moved, the manure spread, and the
soil scattered over again. In the
case Of. old, exhausted trees the man
ure should be put deeper, nearer to
the roots, and should be given in
greater quantities. MANY of the
old apple AMI pear trees that seem
past redemption might be brought
back to health and usefulness,
treated in the manner suggested.
The wonder is that it seldom oc-
ours to people to help them in this
way. Year after year what fruit
the trees bear is gathered and TAX
en- away; the leaves fall aad are
blown into the nearest dyke, and
no part of the load the trees have
carried is given back to them to
help to support them. Small won
der that, alter a certain period,
their vigor fails. In fertile lands
the struggle is protracted one;
but in the best land, after the first
flush OF youth is over, trees that
are bearing fruit heavy need sup
port. and when they cease to make
reasonable growth annually II is
time tor reinvigorating measures to
be taken, and there is no plan so
good as the application of rich top
dressing. The way in which the
roots of trees seem to find their
food, even if placed al a distance
from them, is very remarkable;
and, as it is certain they have this
power of discovery, by placing
their food near the surface they are
brought within the influence of air
and sunlight.

A sagacious Newfoundland Dog.

A gentleman put a marked shil-
ling under a stone by the roadside,
first showing it to his Newfound-
land dog The gentleman then,
with his friend, rode for three
miles; aud then the dog received
his signal from his master to re-
turn back for the shilling. The
dog turned back; the gentlemen
rode home; but, To their disap-
pointment and surprise, the hither-
to faithful messenger did not re
turn during the day. 1t appeared
he had gone to the spot where the
shilling was deposited; but, the
stone being too weighty for his
strength to remove, he had stayed
bowling at the place I'll two horse
men, riding by, and attracted by
his seeming distress, stopped to
look at him. when one of them,
alig GIFTED, removed the stone, and,
seeing the shilling, put it into his
pocket, not conceiviug it to be the
object OF the dogs search. The
dog followed their horses for TWEEN
ty miles, remained uhdisturbed in
the room where they supped, fol
lowed the cham bermaid into the
bed chamber, and secreted him
self under one of the beds. The
possessor of the shilling hung his
trousers upon nail by the bed
side; but when both travellers were
asleep the dog took them in his
mouth, and leaping out of the win
dow, left open on account of the
sultry heat, reached his masters
home with his prize; when, from
memoranda in the pocket, every
thing but the shilling was enabled
to be returned to the owner, md
the singular circumstance elucida-
ted.

The Prospects of Wool.

The prospects are good; and we
might stop there and say no more,
il every wool grower would believe
US, But there are always some in
credulous ones who think that the
lend is near" They are always
looking for the end of good times,
the end of prosperity, the end of
the world, etc. When we said to a
young man a few days since, "Go
west and into sheep raising" he
said, "Oh, every body is going into
that and the market will soon be
glutted." There are many who feel
that way. But why should they?
We are not growing near the quan
tity of wool that we consume, and
until we do produce that amount is
IT, not the veriest foolishaess to
ialk about a possible, let aloue a
probable, over-prod uction! Look
at the market to day. 1t NAV be
said in one sense to be dull, because
there Is no wool, comparatively
>peaking, to be had. There are
plenty of buyers but few sellers,
and vet we think there is likely to
be overproduction. Wool, when it
can be produced under favorable
circumstances. will, take it for the
next ten yeays-and we do not
know but that we might say twenty
years-be the most profita bic pro-

down, but they will go down be-
cause the prices of other things go
down. ana not because there is not
real need for the wool. Foreign
woods are now pouring into the
country by millions III pounds, and
it is being showed over the Canadi-
an line almost free from Ia if be
cause our mills are in such desper-
ate need of it that the authorities
conveniently shut the official eye
partially, anyhow. The eagerness
of BUYERS to buy and the cautious
ness Of producers to contract make
the situation interesting. We find
among the western districts of
Pennsylvania manufacturers con
tracing tor the wool of what may
be called mountain sheep at half a
dollar, and in Kentucky they are
asking forty five to forty six cents,
on board the cars, and will not sell
for less. In Texas nothing can be
reached below thirty cents to thir-
ty-three and one half cents that is
desirable. In California the farm
ers have exalted ideas, and do not
care to contract on the northern
ranches, preferring to wait in antic-
ipation of securing higher prices
They are now holding southern
bury woods at twenty five to thir
" cents firmly. Wool growers, in
fact, expect to secure extravagant |
prices this season.

The Cattle Cad Tlv.

This fly is mach ike the horse
hot fly and belongs TO the same
family. 1t lays eggs in the skin
along the backs of cattle in August,
and the larvie remain in the flesh
and feed upon the pus caused by
the irritation until May, wnen they
wIigg.e out, enter the ground, pu-
pate and emerge as mature flies in
the summer. They do no particu-
lar harm except to cause some irri-
tatiOn, and worry the tie. The
only preventive is to keep the cat
tie up at the season when the eggs
are deposited--this, however, is
impracticable. The worms--so
called "war bles"-are so common
as to occasion special regulations
concerning wOrmy hides by tanners
associations and as we never hear
of animals suffering from them,
they are among those minor inflic-
lions which it pays better to sub
nit to than to fight against. They
may, however, be easily dislodged
by pressing with the finger and
thumb as above stated.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

I, the undersigned. have recently read
an article in the Nord- IFesten on seed
ers, and desire herewith to give the read
ers of the same some particulars about
it. I purchased Monitor seeder and
used the same at my farm, but had some
unpleasant experiences with it the first
year, as the cultivators in heavy soil,
such as there was on my farm, did not
go deep enough. I subsequently dis
covered that the new Van Brunt & Bar
Der seeder worked very well, and to sat-
isfy myself, went to a friend living not
far from Ciark's Mills who owned Van
Brunt & Barber seeder, and became con-
WINGED that that machine did the best
work both in sowing and cuItivating, and
went to Seidl & Bleser, in Manitowoc,
and traded my Monitor for Van Brunt
& Barber.
Farmers, satisfy yourselves before you
purchase seeder. I can recommend the
new Van Brunt & Barber with a clear
conscience as being the best / have yet
seen in use. both as regards excellence
of construction and practicab;iity. II
