The Best Love.

Home love is the best love. The
love that YOU are born to is the
sweetest love you win ever have on
Garth. You, who are 50 anxious to
cscape from the home-nest, pause a
moment and rcmembcr this is so.
1t is right that the hour should
come whenyou, in your turn, should
become a wife and a mother and
give the best love to others; but
that viii be just it. Nobody, not a
lover, nora husband, will ever be so
tender or so5true as your mother or
your father. Never again, after
strangers have broken the bcauti-
full bond, will there be anything so
sweet as the little circle of mother,
father, and children, where you
were cherished, protected, praised,
and kept from harm. You may not
know it now, but you will know it
some day. Whomsoever you may
marry, true and good though he
may be, viii, after the love days are
over and the honeymoon has Waned,
give you only what you deserve Of
love, or sympathy, and usually
much less never more. You must
watch and be wary, lest you lose
that love which came in through
the eye because the one who look
ed thought you beautiful. But
those who bore you, who loved you
when you were that dreadful little
object a small baby, and thought
you exquisitely beautiful and won
derfully brilliant; they do not care
for faces that are fairer and forms
that are more graceful than yours.
You are their very own, and so bet
ter to them always than others

Why, Not Discouraged.

The long-continucd SHOWS and
cold, rainy weather, would indeed
be very discouraging to West Vir-
ginia farmers, but from the fact
that knowing our climate and soil
so we'll from experience, they rest
assured that whatever Of wet or
cold weather we may have, certain
compensation will come in the more
favorable changes to follow, and
that among the various crops relied
on, some Of them are always sure to
have, in the changeful climate, con
-ditions favorable for good yield.
If too wet to get oats sown, corn can
be planted, and if cold ground rot8
the first seed put in, asecond plant
ing will, with favorable weather,
mature abundantly, and if even a
second planting fails, good crop
Of potatoes may take the place Of
intended corn. Our great adVan-
tage over many parts of the " est,
lies in the fact that thrifty farmers
are always sure Of good crops Of
some kind, and fair prices for what
they raise If hay is, short, corn
and fodder are plenty; if apples
fail, the surplus Of peaches and
small fruit take eirplace, or fur
nish means to buy them. If Spring
is late, the young crops only grow
and thrive the more rapidly when
the genial days do come, Our
farmers know of no such feasts and
falnines, and months of floods and
months Of 'drouth and prairie fires,
as they have in some parts Of the
West, and surely this restful assur-
ance of fair return for labor, and
at least a comfortable living from
season to season, is worth vastly
more to people than prospects of
greater gains with risks more haz-
ardous
And then again West Virginia
farmers have a reserve reliance
that is worth fully as much to their
comfortable independence as the
best paid-up policies of insurance,
They know that if by reason of bad
weather or any mishaps whatever,
all their crops should fail for q sea-
son, they can shoulder their axes
and split a good living in slaves
from the heavy timber, peel it from
the trees in bark, hew it from the
small oaks in railroad ties, or cut it
out Of the brush in hoop-poles.
Surely West Virginia farmers are
eminently their own masters.

SEED CoRN.-The Importance Of
good seed isvery generally acknowl-
edged, if not acted upon by most far
mers The small quantity Of seed
required for a crop Of corn should in
duce more attention to the situation
by the planter himself,'and obtain
ment from some reliable source Of
seed of the most approved kinds.
A paragraph which we find in an
exchange as TO the effects Of an ex-
pertinent with Dent corn, shows if
the writer is correct, the great differ
ence in the yield Of two lots used
for seed. The corn Wasobtained from
two parties in Michigan. In one
case the. corn had been growing ten
wears or more on one farm In
both cases the corn was much alike.
The two lots Of corn were planted
in alternate rows in aplot by itself
The tops Of one set of rows were
all cut off thus securing a perfect
cross on those stalks. Seed from
this cross was saved and planted
to compare with corn not SO crossed.
The yield from the crossed seed ex-
ceedcd the yield Of that not crossed
in the ratio of 1875 to 100.
