new buggy, and spend more time on it than
on the wood-pile, or all the other nipple
ments on the farm. This fit of neatness
lasts until by some unfortunate combina-
| ton Of weather and roads the buggy comes
in at night hespattered or plastered with
mud, and the lad is too short of time or
courage to attack and clean it..
HE mud dries and sets, and when the
young farmer attempts to remove it, he at
tacks it with the Old broom and a corncob,
and by t1int of vigorous laying On, he brings
OFT the heft OF the mud and iii the l'1ster of
the varnish. The shine has gone for good
and with it the boys pride in the new We
hicle Declines and he wonders why the
thing don't glisten in the moonlight, as
when it came fresh from the painters hands
lie perhaps claims that the painter swind-
led him. and the varnish was of no account
The coats Of mud and grit and the conse-
quent rubbing and scrub1,ing We're enough
to deface a brickbet
The carriage painter is blamed for mis-
cradle job.
Another class Of young men have their
buggy and are anxious to keep it in good
order. but they ruin it, perhaps, in a few
months time by bad washing
We lay it down as an axiom that the
farmer who can NOT afford a cover for his
implements ana vehicles has no business
with buggy.
A buggy is too frail and delicate to stand
the heat and storms.
The buggy must be kept housed when
not in use. When brought out Of the house
it should be busted of with a feather luster
If it comes home muddy it should be
cleaned before putting in the house. 1t
may be announcement, but in the end it will
pay. There is no need Of taking it to a
creek, and their attack it with the old
scrub broom. Take bucket or two of
water and q sponge. and gently wash the
top, then the bed, and ring out Il channels
and wipe SO no water stands on the varnish
Wherever water dries on varnish it will lose
it's luster. 4 bucket and Is sponge and
chamolse and feather buster are as nee
essary adJuncts Of % farmers buggy as a
wrench.
4 careful man will have his buggy look
neat and last three times as long as the class
first named. The average farmer can lily
afford to buy a buggy and harness for
pleasure. And neither he nor any other
farmer can atford to neglect and destroy
them.
Wastefuluess treads on the heels Of ex-
travagance, and the model farmer Will not
tolerate either on his premises.

m the RALEIGH IN. C.) Farmer

From the Raleigh On. CO. Farmer
Already there is :. pronounced lristocracy
among the negroes. At their fashionable
weddings the array Of silks, white kids and
jewelry is gorgeous. There are blacks in
Raleigh worth from s., 600 to $4,000 in
good city property. There are negroes in
this county who owns 200-acre farms, with
all necessary improvements. One recently
built a school-honse for his neighbors and
got country road changed to pass his house.
More than 500, 900 worth of property is
owned by negroes in Halifax, Warren and
other counties. Odds and ends of land are
picked up for almost nothing. sometimes as
a gift, and are soon made to thrive. Per
haps 10000 negroes i'll the state to-day own
from IL to 30U acres.

A Japanese Legend.

Long long ago, when the Oldest stork
was young, there livedan aged woodcutter
and his son on the slopes Of the mountain
Tagi, in the province Of Mivc. They gain
ed frugal livelihood by cutting brushwood
on the hillside and carrying it in bundles on
their backs ito sell in the nearest market
town; for they were too poor to own an OK.
With the money thus received they bought
rice and radishes, their daily food.
Only once or twice year. at New Years
and on the Mikado's birthday could they
afford to treat themselves to mess Of beau
curd or fresh fish. Yet the old man was
very fond OF rice wine, and every week
bought gourd full to keep his old blood
warm.
As the years rolled on, the aged fathers
limbs became SO stiff that he was unable
any longer to climb the mountains. So his
nearly double the quantity Of wood, and
thus kept the family larder full. The old
man was so proud of his son that he daily
stood at sunset in front of his rustic gate to
welcome him back. And to see the old
daddy and the young STRIPPING remove their
handkerchiefs and bow, with hands on
knees, in polite fashion, bending their
backs and sucking in their breath, out of
respect for each other, and to hear them
inq uiring after one another's health, show
ering mutual compliments all the time, one
would have thought they had not seen each
other for eight years instead Of eight
hours.
One winter the snow, fell long and thick,
until all the ground in field and forest was
covered several feet over. The bamboo
branches bent with their weight OF white,
the pine boughs broke under their load, and
even the stone idols along the wayside were
covered up. At first, even with the hardest
work, the young woodcutter could scarcely
get and sell wood to buy food enough to
keep them both alive. He often went hun
cry himself SO that his father might have
his warm wine.
One day he went by another path up one
Of the mountain dells with his rope basket

Notes for COWS.

It is as necessary that water should be Civ
en- to the mich cows in the winter as it is to
feed them hay. We say water, because
many feed their new milch COWS with slops
and roots, thinking that the COWS when fed
in this way would not require water. The
water should be pure and good. Salt too,
is "a requisite for them that should not be
negl 5cted. Eighty seven per cent. of the
milk consists of water, and where salt is
sparingly supplied the digestive powers Of
the COW are enfeebled, and the milk is de-
fective in keeping quality, as well as guam
.tity and quality Very many new mich
COWS are now coming in. and it is q good
plan TO start ont right with them. :

How Grandma Hamilton was Restored
to Family and Wealth.

Grandma Hamilton has lived for five
years in the Home for the Friendless in
Chicago. A few days ago lady in seal
skins and Jewels rang the boil and asked
for Mrs. Hamilton. >:
"You don't mean Grandma Hamilton, do
your" asked the matron.

would like to see her,"
When Grandma and the rich lady met in
the parlor the visitor sobbed out, Mother!
Mother, don't you know Louisa?'
"Oh, no." said Grandma, peering with
her blind eyes and shaking her head my
daughters, Louisa and Lizzie, are both dead.
and you cannot be Louisa"
But indeed l am; and Lizzie is living,
too: and for year have been looking for
You everywhere, and now have found You"
and while they wept on each others neck,
Mrs. Grant, the superintendent, and Miss
them to talk it over. Next day Louisa came
again, and Grandma, all wrapped in fur
lined robes, went away with her, leaving
the little room where she had SO long sat
rocking and knitting, expecting only to
leave it at the summons of death. The eX-
PLANTATION is that fifteen years ago Louisa
married and went to California. Lizzie
remained in Ohio, while their mother, with
a snug little competence, came to Chicago.
Finally they; lost trace of each other. Mrs
Hamilton lost her money and was obliged
to take up an abode in the Home of the
Friendless Louisa husband became rich in
California, and when she came back found
Lizzie in Ohio or Michigan, and after a
long search found her motherin this city.

million to our population; we number now
over fifty million souls, and yet there Was a
full supply of bread for Ill. and enough for
thirty million jewellers in other laltls. The
record of 1873 was SO extraordinary thct
few expected such heavy expectation in
1880. But it was larger; much more corn,
more barley, very little less wheat, and
less rye and oats. The total Was about 273,-
900, 600 bushels. including flour and meal,
of which about 161 900, 900 was wheat This
is for the calendar year 1880, and it is such
a result as never was seen in any country Of
the world before The corn and meal ex~
ceeds 107 900, geo bushels, an increase Of
rs per cent. upon the shipments OF the pre-
viOuS wear.

A MIsTAKE.-Many farmers and
others having produce for sale,
often make a great mistake in sup
posing that they can take it to the
city and personally dispose oft on
better terms and to better advan-
tage than to consign it to reliable
commission merchant. In nine
cases out of ten a dealer familiar
with all the trade, knowing all it's
demands and supplies, will make
quicker sales of produce and at
much better prices than any stran-
ger could possibly secure, and the
enhanced prices obtainedwill much
more than pay commissions. Any
parties having country produce for
sale, would do we'll to send it to the
prompt and reliable firm of Colts,
Diehl & Kober, Wheeling, w, Va.
If you are in the city with apples,
butter, beans or other produce, you
will make money by having them
sell it for you.
