shallow until the cultivator can and
will afford the labor and expense of
subsoiling and heavy manuring for a
number of years. This expense and
labor, it need hardly be explained, will
repay him in the end with a handsome
interest, not only by increased crops
but by enhanced value of the land.
Deep clay loans and alluvial soils take
kindly to deep blowing. Wet lands
should be drained previous to deep
blowing. The medium course, viz:
blowing from five to six inches deep, is
of course exempt from the harmful re-
suits of the two extremes.
AS the turns made in blowing con-
sumo time, it is economy to run the
burrows in the longest direction. Ex-
pertinent has proven that the time lost
in turning short plots make a large
item in the expense account. T.

Improving Stock.

The time has been in this country,
and not great number of years ago,
when many farmers found almest insur-
mountable difficulties in the way of the
introduction of good stock; but that
time has passed away. Obstacles which
presented themselves disappeared, and
it is no longer an open question whether
or not it is good policy to breed, grow
and fatten the best. The great cost of
thoroughbred stock, at one time, was a
barrier in the way of its general use,
but breeding has now grown to be a
vast industry, and prices of good in
dividual sires and dams have been SO
reduced as to place them nearer the
reach of all than ever before. The
hard times of a few years back pre-
vented many farmers from wedding out
trashy breeding stock; the means for
making desirable substitution being
actually unprocurable; but this diff
Guilty is now removed. The generally
unremuneratiye condition of the fat
stock trade was another impeachment to
those desiring to raise their standard of
breeding; but this trouble no longer
exists. There actually are no obstacles
in the way Of general improvements at
this time which are worth considering.
On the contrary, there is an incentive
to the introduction of good blood. 1t
is one of the urgent demands of the
day. and, if the American people would
become, as they can, the regular feed
ers Of Europe, it must be needed. The
standard quality of the stock on our
fat stock markets can, with proper eff
fort, be raised fifty per cent. within the
next two years time, without any
financial trouble whatever. Pittsburgh

Collie in Horses.
StOcE7ndn.

This disease always comes ON sud-
denly and is very dangerous. 1t is as
likely to attack the animal away from
home, on the road, and where remedies
cannot be had, as at home. Animals
while in harness, say hauling grain to
market, if attacked get down and not
unfrequently die.
l have had some experience in such
cases, have never used any kind o.
medicine, and have never had a fatal
case, nor one that has lasted over half
an hour. While the horse is down
(and if he does not lie down get him
DOWN on his side, as soon as possible
get behind him and begin vigorously
to knead his stomach between the short
ribs and the hind leg with the double
fists, exactly as if kneading bread, and
dig in pretty hard.
Almost instantly it will give him re-
lief, in mol cases air will pass from the

Gardening in Japan.

With the Japanese, the love OF
flowers amounts to passion. They
have distanced US in botany. Enthusiasts
in gardening would fan live to see the
daV when every householder will have
his plot of garden and will know how
to cultivate it. The universal spread
of such knowledge seems to be almost
as hopeless as the possession of plots
for its exercise in our large towns.
But the japanese are taught gardening
in their schools, and all have their lit
tie plots of ground. They are in
structed in practical horticulture and
in the artistic arrangements Of bou-
quets, and all classes, from the palace
to the cottage, manifest a passionate
love for such hu1Ganizing and health
full occupations. Nowhere in Europe,
we are assured, are gardens so
numerous, or the love OF Horticulture
so extensively developed. One very
curious art they seem to have
brought to great perfection. Their gar.
dens often being small, and their taste
leading them to take pride in the pos
session of trees of the bigger species,
they have gradually developed the art
of dwarfing them without in any way
sacrificing their general shape and pro.
portion. Among their family treasures
may frequently be found a well-arranged
garden, established in some antique
specimen of japanese pottery in the
shape OF capacious bowl. Within this
receptacle will be walks and trees and
tlower-beds, with great variety OF
floral favorites, and dwarfed to the
proper proportions. One further de-
velopment Of this odd manipulation OF
natural objects is the patient training
of the mimimized trees and shrubs into
the forms of birds and beasts, or any OBJ.
iect that may strike the fancy.
St. Landry democrat., 1881-11-12
Self Help.

Every boy and every girl should learn
the lesson of depending on himself and
herself. They cannot win success by
the help which father or mother or
friend can give. Sef-help is the best
help, the only help that will make one
great.
Those who have attained distinction
in business or scholarship or politics,
have won reputation by their own eff
forts. Friends may have aided, but
upon that aid they have never de-
pended.
George Peabody, who gave seven
jects, was the son Of poor parents, and
received but a meager education. He
was a clerk in a small Vermont town,
and in other places, and at the early age
of nineteen had made himself so prof.
cient in mercantile pursuits that he
formed a partnership which laid the
foundation of his immense fortune. 1t
was by his self-help that, before hewas
thirty-iiye, he became the head OF 8
large commercial house.
Salmon P. Chase, the statesman and
the Chief-Justice of the Unated States,
was of family whose circumstances
were poor. At the age of twelve he
was sent from his home in New Hamp-
shire to Ohio, where he divided his
time between hard work ON his uncle s
farm and hard study in his uncle ;
academy. After graduating at Dart
mouth College he studied law, and,
after a few years spent in reading
Blackstone and Kent, opened an office.
He had few, or no, friends to solicit
business for him. He was obliged to
depend on himself. Finally, his own
pluck and perseverance overcame his
difficulties, and from the age OF twenty
six years he never lacked work.
Every boy or girl is, like George Peis-
body and Chief-Justice Chase, the arch.
itect of his own fortune. You must
yourself hew your way to success =

Peter did not look ct all Jolly, as

for him. When the clamor of greeting

Mrs. keens said, slowly:

tone of her voice sent heavier weight
down into his heart, and bigger lump
into his throat. Your card has only

as he ever could feel It for himself.
"Oh, my boy! my boy! my heart is

Justly claims for it a superiority over all rem.
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however re-
quire cathartic medicine. after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
