Does Farming Pay.

Some interesting conclusions are
drawn from the carefully kept ac-
count books of New York farmer
which ougth to aid in disposirg of
that vexed and venerable inquiry
"Does Farming Pay There was,
to begin with, a $4,000 farm and ST.
1872 of tools, a total investment of
$11,132. For the first ten years 1881
1S41) the average net income was ST.
$50; for the second ten, about the
same; for the third ten, Sl,526 per
year; for the fourth ten, $2,2G9 per
year; for the fifth ten 1611 to 1891,
covering the period of the hard times, i,
$2,261 per year. During all this time
the farm has been steadily bettered,
and the financial results have im-
proved in proportion. In the last
twenty years the net annual income
has been 10 per cent. on S22,60S.6o.
which would now be considered Il full
vrluation Of the land, stock and i'm
plements. This very satisfactory
showing was achieved, not by the rails
ing of any special crops Whatsoever,
but by mixed husbandry; and not un-
der any particularly Fortunate circum-
stancss-none more fortunate than
the farmers in the State Of New York
usually enjoy. We read further that
'snine tenths of the capital used, and
now invested, has come out of the
profits, and the results have been at
tuned without excessive labor, or un-
becoming frugality, or any neglect Of
the duties and enjoyments of social
life."

Creamers and Butter-Makers

Messrs. Editors american Farmer:
Your correspondent in the last
number struck a good idea in regard
to the "creamer" plan of managing
milk. But v ill it do in oil cases: |
rather think there two important re-
quisites, water or ice, Without either
[ do not see how cream can be raised
in short time. The object of this
article is to call the attention of 'but-
ter-makers'' to ''butter- worker. >
The cost Of this is small in compari-
son to a creamer, and is indispensable
whcre the creamer is not, as many
have running water or dry dairy,
Working butter after churning is
finished is the basis Of making a good
article. The Reid Worker, made in
Philadelphia, | think will answer
every purpose. 1t is simple, inexpen-
sive, easy to keep clean, and easy tc
handle. 1t thoroughly works the milk
out, and the Salts evenly distributed
and the butter is not handled to make
it soft, but paddle is used to turn il
over. 1t can be worked dry, and when
finished with the roller removed
forms good table on which to print
I have heard that the worker is good
thing to make bread with, working in
the place of kneading with the hands.
If there is better worker | should
like to hear of it.

The Care of Harness,

A harness that has been upon a
horses back several hours in hot or
rainy weather becomes wet; if not
properly cleaned, the damage to the
leather is irreparable. If, after being
taken from the horse in this condl-
tion, it is hung up in careless man
ner, traces and reins twisted into
knots, and the saddle and bride hung
askew, the leather when died retains
the same shape given it while wet,
and when forced to its original form,
damage is done the stitching and the
leather. The first point to be OBJ
served is to keep the leather soft and
and pliable. This can only be done
by keeping it we'll charged with oil
and grease; water is destroyer to
these, but mud and Shiny moisture
from the animal are even more de-
structive. Mud, in drying, absorbs
the grease and opens the pores Of the
leather, making it prey to water,
while the salty character of the pers-
piration from the animal Injuries the
leather, stitching and mountings. 1t
therefore, follows that to preserve
harness, the straps should be washed
whenever it has been moistened by
sweat or soiled by mud. If a harness
is thoroughly cleaned twice year.
and when unduly exposed, treated as
We have recommended, the leather
will retain its softness and strength
or many years.

We have not alluded to a custom
which has prevailed to very moder-
ate extent among some growers of U.s.

porous and gummy and capable of
absorbing the Ioisons thrown upon it.
These would undoubtedly be retain

perhaps, to render, the tobacco harm
full to those who used it. For this
reason we condemn tie use of Paris

Womanly Modesty.

Man loves the mysterious. A
cloudless sky and a full blown rose
leaves him unmoved; but the violet
which hides it's blushing beauties
hehind the bush, and the moon when
emerging from behind a cloud, are
to him sources of inspiration and of
pleasure. Modesty is to merit what
shade is to figure in painting-it
gives boldness and prominence.
Nothing adds moro to female beauty
than modesty. 1t sheds around the
countenance halo of light which
is borrowed from virtue. Botanists
have given the rosy hue which ting
es the cup of the white roses the
name of the "maiden blush" This
pure and delicate hue is the paint
Christian virtue should use. 1t is
the richest ornament. A woman
without modesty is like a faded
flower diffusing an unwholesome
odor, which the prudent gardener
will threw from him. Her destiny
is melancholy, for it terminates in
shame and repentance. Beauty
passes like the flower of the albe.
which bloom and die in few
hours; but modesty gives the female
charms which supply the place Of
the transltory freshness of youth.

Move On

If you expect to be anything you
must make beginning; and you
must make it yourself. The world
is getting too practica1 to help
drones and push them along, when
there is a busy hive of workers,
who, if anything, live too fast. You
must lift up your own feet, and if
you have pair of clogs on which
clatter about your heels, they will
soon be worn off and left behind on
the dusty pathway. Mark out the
line you prefer, let truth be the OBJ
ject glass, honesty the surveying
chain, and eminence the level with
which you lay out your field; and
thus prepared, with prudence on one
arm and perseverance on the other,
you need fear no obstacle. Do not
be afraid to take the first step.
Boldness will beget assurance, and
the first step will bring you so much
nearer the second. But if your first
step should break down, try again.
1t will be surer and safer for the
trial. Besides, if you never move,
you will never know syour own pow
er. A man standing still and de-
claring his inability to work, with
out making the effort, would be a
general laughing stock, and so,
morally, is the man IN our opinion,
who will not test his own moral and
intellectual power and then gravely
assures us that he has no genius
OR talent, or capacity A man
with seeing eyes and keeping them
shut, and complaining that he can
not see, is the trumpeteer of his own
inability.

A rudeness is worse than a crime
it is blunder, because it is so easy

Food for Thought.

A good example is perpetual
precept. Beliefs not in our power
but truthfulnes is.
Fidelity is seven tenths of busi-
ness success.-James Parton.
He needs no other rosary whose
thread of life is strung with beads
of love and thought
If you want to be on the finally
popular and triumphant side, be on
the side of justice.
Our ancestors maybe great honor
to us; but it is much better if we are
an honor to them.
He who, with good health, has
true friend, may laugh adversely to
scorn and defy the world.
True benevolence is love to all
men. Recompense injury with JUS
tice, and kindness with kindness.
This is the present reward of
virtuous conduct-that no unlucky
consequence can oblige US to regret
it.
Do thy little stroke of work.
This is natures voice, and the
sum of all the commandments to
each man.-Carlyle.
Fear of punishment and hope of
reward move towards and syco-
plants. Virtue is Independent of
either.
AS rule it is with youth as with
plants; from the first fruits they
bear we learn what may be expected
in future.
Ifyou wish to appear agreeable in
society, you must consent to be
taught many things which you
know already.-Lavater.
When an organization or. society
attempts to pin the universe of truth
down to creed, the thinkers of the
world drift past: and presently it lies
a stranded wreck on the shores of
time.
The universe, containing all that
exists, has been created by God
not by q man; but has always ex-
listed, and will ever remain vivify-
ing fire, being kindled and extin-
guished according to definite laws.
Give me the liberty to know, to
utter, and to argue freely according
to my conscience, above all other
liberties. Let truth and falsehood
grapple: who ever knew truth put
to the worse in a free and open en-
counter.-Milton.

We may get through the world, but twill

If we listen 20 all that is said as we go.
Wen be worried and fretted and kept in a
stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have some.
thing to do.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed,
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool.
Ii generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen;
You'll have some loud hints that you're
selfish and mean.
If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue, in sly, sneaking
way.
And then, if you show the least boldness of
Ora slight inclination to take your own
They'll call you an upstart, conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to ex-
plain.
If threadbrre your coat, or old-fashionsd

Some one, of course, will take notice of that,
And hint rather strong you can't pay your
way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to
escape,
For they criticize then in different shape;
You're ahead Of your means, or your tail

But mind your own business; there's naught
to be made.
If fellow but chance to wink at girl,
How the gossips will talk and their scandal
unfurl;
They'll canvass your wants and talk OF your
means
And declare you're engaged to chit in her
They'll talk fine before you, but then, at
your back,
OF venom and slander there's never lack;
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter as gall, when you're out OF the
way.
The best way to do, is to do as you please,
For your mind, ify you have one, will then
be at ease.
OF course you'll meet with all sort of abuse;
But don't think to stop them, its not any use.

Atmosphere of the Table.

1t is impossible to estimate prop
erly the great influence which is ex-
erted upon household by the at
mosphere of the family table. If it
is true that one does not come out
of 8 room the same person he went
in, the mind ever after retaining the
impress of what affected it there,
what great results must be achieved
from the meeting three times day
in the dining room, from converse
tion INDUCED in, and the sentiments
expressed there. A neat, we'll order
ed table is in itself a lesson to the
children.
l have noticed that sensitive
child almost invariably has better
manners when dressed in his best,
and have seen with surprise the eff
feet produced upon q certain small
boy Of my acquaintance by hand
somely dressed ladies who are polite
to him. To the inviting table,
where there should always be some
thing attractive, however simple the
meal may be, most children will
come prepared to behave properly.
1t is really worth while, and, when
philosophically considered, is a
matter of great Importance to lay
aside as far as possible all thoughts
of hard work done before and to be
done after the meal, and to allow no
vexatious questions to be discussed
at this time. The habit of brooding
over our work, and exhausting our.
selves by going all over it in our
minds. is one to be studiously
avoided. There is nothing takes
from ones energy more than this.
and it is a frequent cause of insanity
| Everybody knows that food di-
gests better when in agreeable COM
pany. It was something more than
pleasantly which made a friend
remark that he could not have his
wife and child pass the Summer
away from him as it gave him the
dyspepsia. The poor child who
comes to grief at the table, and is
sent away from it with his dinner
half eaten, and who suffers the whole
afternoon with an undigested lump
of food in his stomach, is to be pitt
ed, and it is wise plan to explain
to children that in this way they
will be punished for bad conduct at
the table.
It follows, then that pleasant sur
prises in the way Of preparing ia
volite dishes, that good taste and
much pains-taking in arranging all
the appointments of the table and
dining-room, rise above . mere min.
listering to the animal existence, and
affect the fine issues oflife. Good
behavior and cheerfnlness ought to
accompany each meal as naturally
land unwayering as bread and butter
THE happy laughter which distrib'
