The following article, entitled Butter,
Chee-e, and Egg" taken from the ST. Louie
Republican, treats of subject OF great i'm
portsnce to the farming industry. and what
the Republican says Of it is quite as spplica-
bic TO X ansas az to Missouri. We recon-
mend il &c the perusal and consideration Of
our farmer readers, both in Kansas and
Missouri. The Republican says:
Missouri farmers generally regard butter,
cheese, eggs and poultry as rather email
maitfrs--de-ifable enough as accompani-
menis Of substantial farming, but too insig-
pifcsnt to be the special objects of sub
stantial farmer. In the States OF Illinois,
lows and Wisconsin, on the contrary, the
production of butter, cheese, eggs and poul.
Try il regarded as the highest and most prof
liable form OF farmipg-and experience
shows that this view il correct. 1t is stated
that Iowa produced last year $1,000 600
pounds Of butter, 500 600 pounds ofchee-e,
snd about $4,000 worth of eggs-the
whole having value Of $4,000, 900. These
figures indicate the profi,ableness Of dairy
farming and poultry raising, but they do not
tell the whole story of improved isnds, tidy
and systematic farming, comfort and thrift
which are the invsriabie accompsniments Of
this branch OF agriculture. There are sew
eral COUNTIES on the line OF the ST. Louis and
Wabash railroad in this State where butter
mak,ng and poultry raising are carefully
cultivated, and the Republican has publish
ed interesting statements Of the shipment of
the-e articles to ST. Louis for the past winter.
|, il needless to say that these counties are
the seats of the ihrifest and most successful
farming in Missouri, and that their people
are generally out OF debt and prosperous.
1t is true that dsirying and poultry raising
are the vacations of small farmers, but this
lie the very class Of population We most need
in Missouri. There is limit TO the number
Of lordly land owners that can be aceommo.
dated in a single county, but there is prac-
tiealiy no limit TO the number OF small hus-
hsndmen tina, can be packed into the State;
and as rule the more Of these small hus-
bandmen there are in county or n neigh
borhood, the more manifest are the signs OF
thrift and comfort, the better the roads are,
,he more frequent are the school houses and
tie higher are the prices of ianis.

The cattle question lie beginning TO he one
Of more than passing moment in this coun-
try. For two or three years the price OF all
grades Of cattle has been gradually on the

population and decrease Of grazing lands.
Tae vas, deserts of the west, Kansas, Texas,
and the territories Of the west and northwest
are being rapidly settled up, and coon there
will be no "wild lands" for grazing pur-
poses. Our farmers would do much better
il they would manage 10 get few cattle,
sheep, and hogs about them, and diversity
their crops and especially put in le-s wheat.
They cannot afford TO run the risks year

A Reliable Man.

Baptst weekly.
OF all the qualities that go to form
a good character, there is not one more
important than reliability. Most en-
phatically is this true of good business
man. The word itself embraces both
truth and honesty, and the reliable man
must necessarily be truthful and hon.
est. We see so much around us that
exhibits the absence of this crowning
quality. that we are tempted, in our
bilious moods, to deny its very exis-
tence. But there are, nevertheless, re-
liable men, men to be depended upon,
to be trusted, in whom you may re-
pose confidence, whose word is as
good as their bond, and whose promise
is performance If any of you know
such a man, make him your friend.
You can only do so, however, by as
Stimulating his character. The reliable
man is man of good judgment. He
does not jump at conclusions. He is
thoughtful. He turns over a subject
in his mind and looks at it all around.
He is not partial or one-sided man.
He sees through thing. He is apt to
be a reticent man. He does not have
to talk great deal. He is moderate
man not only in body, but in mind.
He is not passionate man; if so by
nature, he has overcome it by grace.
He is sincere man, not a boaster or
schemer. What he says may be relied
relied on. He is trustworthy man.
You feel safe with your property or
administration of affairs in his hands
He is brave man; for his conclusions
are logically deduced from the sure
basis of truth, and he does not fear to
maintain them. He is a good man,
for no one can be thoroughly honest
and tr 1thful without being good. Is
such a quality attainable? Most as
suredly so. 1t is not born-it is made.
Character may be formed; of course
then, its component parts may be mold
ed into that formation which consti-
tutes a reliable man.

UnluckY People.

A genuinely-unlucky man will entail
as much misery upon those who are
dependent upon or associated with him
as genuinely-wicked one. They can
never be relied upon. Their specula-
tions turn out i'll when those of the
more stupid men succeed. Their in
ventions are just a little anticipated by
those they never heard of. Their books
or plays do not become popular. Their
crops are sure to be injured by the
floods or tornadoes; their vessels to be
wrecked or burned; their houses con-
sumed twenty-four hours after the ex-
piration of the insurance policy, or the
day before they had resolved to take
one out. Judges are sure to rule ad-
versely to their interests; juries always
bring in verdicts against them.
Their letters are sure to go astray
their baggage or express packages to be
lost or stolen. It is they who are al
ways looking for their missing knives,
and are constantly wandering where
their hats or umbrellas have gone to-
The money they put into their pocket
books, or the pOcketbOoks they put into
their pockets misteriossly disappear.
Even when they desire to be prudent,
and, with considerable sacrifice and
pains, buy their potatoes, their coal
and other stores in advance at reduced
rates, the prices of the succeeding win
ter invariably fall below what they
have paid. They are to be dreaded as
Jonah was dreaded. The boughs of
the tress they climb always break; the
boats they row or sail always capsize
The train they take is by no means
to be expected at its terminus on
time, and, even if late, should
cause joy that it got there at all. Or,
If they are not the victims, they are
the authors of all sorts of involuntary
mischief. Altogether, shrewed old
Rothschild was wise when he counseled
his sons to avoid "unlucky men,"
