The Lad and the Man.

Christian at Work.
AS the boy begins, SO the man will
end. The lad who speaks with affecta-
tion, and minces foreign tongues that
he does not understand at school, will
be weak chlomo in character all his
life; the boy who cheats his teachers
into thinking him devout at chapel,
will be the man who will make religion
a trade and bring Christianity into con-
tempt; and the boy who wins the high
est average by stealing his examination
papers. will figure some day as tricky
politician. The lad who, whether rich
or poor, dull or clever, looks you straight
in the eye and keeps his answer inside
of the truth, already counts friends
who will last all his life, and holds
capital which will bring him in surer
interest than money.
Then get to the bottom of things
You see how it is already as to that. 1t
was the student who was grounded in
the grammar that took the Latin prize
it was that slow steady grudge who
practiced firing every day last winter
that bagged the most game in the noun
tains; it is the clerk who studies the
speciality of the house in off hours who
is to be promoted. Your brilliant,
happy-go-lucky, hlt-or-miss fellow usual
ly turns out the dead weight of the
family by forty-fve. Don't take any
thing for granted; get to the bottom of
things. Neither be a sham yourself,
nor be fooled by shams.

Pay Your Debts.

If you would have the world friend,
ly with you, then avoid creditors. The
debtors chain is cold and heavy, and
its links rust on the heart and make
it cold and weary. Credit is hungry
wolf and hunts down its victims like
a hind is hunted in the forest; there is
no escape from its eagle eye, no matter
how skillfully you may run the gaunt-
let from your Office to your home, OF
home to office You may in order to
steer clear of its vOtaries turn down
some unfrequented street, dash round
some corner or into some alley, but
you are just as sure to bump against
another more formidable than the one
he got rid Of Debt is cup Of sorrow
within itself Payday will come and
will always come too soon, you cannot
glide it over and hide il either
from friends or foes. Like oil in
water it rises in view always,
and there are always sneers ready
to mock it; It's and unsheltered
sword hanging by a thread. Pay as
you go. Do without is cross that few
know how to bear; learn to bear it and
be man among men. Nobody's slave.
Ease does not exist among unpaid
notes, nor happiness in the apparel
owned by your sneering tradesman.

feed little at time and stir the wa

The Irish Farmers Gazette says half
million Of money is annually trans
ferred from that country to America
for honey and wax. There are few
places in Ireland where bees may not
be kept with profit, and thousands OF
tons of honey and wax. are annually
wasted, owing to the absence of bees
to gather them. A source of wealth ID
thus neglected. All true, we presume,
but does it not equally prove that a
source of no inconsiderable wealth is
neglected here? Why should America
import honey and wax when she has
thousands of women who could as
well attend to bees, while at the same
time their own healthfulness and COM
fort would be secured.

FARM NOTES.

The rice and cotton crops in parts
of Florida are large.
j. Whistler of Hawthorn, Fla, raised
800 bushels of onions on two acres of
land.
The rice crop along the Atlantic
coast was damaged 50 per cent by re.
cent storm.
The orange crop of Louisiana is a
failure. The yield of rice, sugar and
cotton is heavy.
1t is estimated that about 100000
acres Of land have gone out of cultiva.
tion in England during the last ten
years.
Polled Angus cattle are bringing
higher prices now in Scotland than
short-horns. At late sale COW
brought 225 guineas, or SLIPS, and
others, with bulls, from AZ up to 18C
guineas. The average price obtained
for fifteen cows was 1878. 1t is evi.
dent that the breed of Angus cattle is
increasing rapidly, not only in Scotland
but in England.
Stock should be well sheltered dur
ing the winter, for when unprotected
from the cold wind and storms
a great deal of the food consumed goes
to keep up animal heat, instead of add
ing pounds Of flesh to the animal.
The scarcity of grain and the conse-
quent high prices will make this win
ter good time to try the experiment
of economizing feed by sheltering
stock.
France expends $150,000 annually in
the purchase of native horses in AL
geria for cavalry use, besides awarding
prizes TO breeders and supporting studs.
The horses of Algeria are not good
looking, but they are serviceable and
bear immense fatigue. The Arabs con-
tinue to prefer mule-rearing to horse
breeding. The mule is more easily
reared, fetches higher price, and often
commences work at the age of eigh-
teen months.
A man who is gardening on large
scale just south of the city limits of
Chicago, says the Drovers Journal, pays
$12 and SIS rental per acre, and this
year was lucky enough to have his en-
tire ground in cabbage. He gets about
5000 head Of merchantable cabbage to
the acre, for which he has been realz-
ing $40 per hundred. He also has a
large machine for converting small and
inferior heads into sauerkraut, which
sells at $l2 per barrel.
There is one thing that we must con-
slider in estimating the value of our
load of manure to the wheat crop, and
that is, that a manured crop is praci-
cally insured against rust, fly, chinch
bug, frost, and many dangers which
beset this crop. 1t is the experience of
most wheat growers that manure i'm
parts vitality to the crop which ena-
bles it to resist all these dangers, and
this is fully proven when one part Of
field is manured and the other part left
without.
English mutton sausages make an
agreeable addition to the breakfast
table. Take some cold roast mutton,
cut it in as large slices as possible /;
then take some bread crumbs, sweet
herbs, salt, pepper. and moisten them
thoroughly with two eggs, and put a
small quantity in the center of each
slice; then roll it after the fashion of a
sandwich, and tie each one up as tight
ly as possible; lay them in hot melted
butter. and cook until brown and
crisp.
The poultry should be fed meat
scraps three or four times week with
their other food, when, the ground be-
ing frozen, there are neither worms nor
