A correspondent In the american
Agricutturist for August, tells how to
cure a kicking cow. lie says: Take
a piece of wire long enough to pass
around the under jaw, and fasten it
together ut the ends, so that it can be
easily slipped OH and off the jaw.
TO prevent her throwing it out, pass
a strap with a buckle through the
wire and over the neck and buckle it.
Tie into the wire a rope long enough
to reach back to the mixers knee.
and when the cow gives signs of a
intention to kick, give the rope a
sudden jerk, which will at once turn
her attention from her udder to her
jaw, and she will actually forget to
kick. l have found it to work like a
charm after repeated failures with
appliances used at the rear Of the
cow.

Danger to the Ewes,

Professional writer's aud constant
readers have most to fear from weak
eyes. In reading a fair sized volume
Of five hundred pages your eye must 90
over a million letters! We can do no
better service to readers and writer's
than to call attention to this great dan
ger of failure to take the best of care,
which is none too good, for the eyes.
Every tyro knows that he should have
the best light for reading, should shun
carefully early dawn ortwilight, should
always stop at the first signs of pain or
WEAKNESS, etc. Most know that the
glare from a plain white surface is very
trying, and that tho eye is relieved by
a tint. Recent experiments in Ger
many are reported to indicate some
yellowish tint as the easiest for the
eyes. Dark papers, inks that show lit
Ito color on first writing, faint lead
pencil marks that can be read only by
straining the eyes. are fruitful sources
of mischief. So is bad writing. The
bad paper, ink and pencils most of our
readers will have too good sense to use.
Fine type. solid matter and poor print
ing should be condemned by all.

Farm Iaborcrs.

Like any other kind of business,
the owner VI manager of Il farm must

make farming profitable. This arises
from the very nature Of mankind
and the eases are very rare where
one or more hired men will accom-.
plish as much work when left to them.

is working with them. In most cases
not over %two-thirds rs much will he
done when left to themselves; and
yet they keep busy probably, but
there are Il few minutes spent here
and Il few there, till night appears
and but little done.
Every farmer knows how his help
get through the day when he is not
present. They are fifteen minutes
later getting 10 work. then one will
begin TO relate something and the
rest stop TO hear. half working prob.
ably, and half listening; next they
stop at the end of the rows if hoeing
crops, look at the SUI rest over their
hoe-handles till some laggard has
finished his row SO that all may begin
together. Next, n is sent for
water, and lac manages TO spend double
the time he should spend; then Il
gathering around the WATERFALL takes
place. and no II returns to his
work till all have taken Il drink: then
the u is examined again, with Il
view To ascertaining about how long
before dinner, TO which they come
with a commendable promptness.
In fact, the eating of their meals is
about all the operation they perform
as ii they meant work.
\ farmer who is easy with his help,
and does not work with them much,
gets a good name. He is a good man
to work for. Now, such reputation
is dangerous, and the sooner one gets
rid of it the better. We know how

The Use of Wealth.

There are thousands of rich men who
are not skinilints. who have tho reputa-
ton of being So, because they have
neve been known to have done any
special good with their money. A man
who is worth $50. 600 can do more to
make himself loved and respected by
all with whom he ome into cOnta ct,
by the judicious expenditure Of q thou
sand dollars in charity, than by giving
the whole fifty thousand dollars after
he is dead. 1t seems as though it
would be mighty small consolation to q
millionaire to leave money to some
charitable purpose. after death, and be
so COMPOUNDED dead that he couldn't
see the smiles of happiness that his
generosity had created.
Suppose n millionaire who has never
had a kind word said Of him except by
fawning hypocrites, who hope to get
some of his money, should lay out a
bea utiful park worth a million dollars,
and throw it open free to all. with
walks, drives, lakes. shade and every
thing. Don't you suppose, if he took
a drive through it himself and saw
thousands of people having a good time
and all looking their love and respect
for him. that his heart would be warmed
up and that his days would be length
ened. Wouldn't every look of thanks
be worth a thousand dollars 10 the man
