The Lancaster Farmer says that no
class of men have been ridiculed so much,
and none have done 50 much good as
those who are denomiaated fancy farmers.
They have been, in all times and coun-
tries, the benefactors of the men who have
treated them with derision. They have
experimental for the good of the world,
while others have simply worked for their
own good. They tested theories while
others raised crops for market. They
have given dignity and glory to the ot-
cupation of farming it never had before.
Fancy farmers have changed the wild
hog into the Suffolk and Berkshire; the
wild cattle of Britain into Shorthorns :;
the mountain sheep, with its lean body
and hairy fleece, into the Southdown and
Merino. They brought up the milk of
cews from pints to gallons. They have
heightened the sirlein of the bullock, en-
larged the ham of the hog, given strength
to the shoulders of the or, rendered finer
the wool of the sheep, added feetness to
the horse, and made beautiful every ami
NAL that it is kept in the service of man.
They have improved and hastened the
development of all domestic animals, till
they hardly resemble the animals from
which they sprang.
Fancy farmers introduced irrigation
and understanding, also grinding and
cooking food for stock They have
brought guano from Peru and nitrate of
soda from Chilli They introduced and
domesticated all the plants we have of
foreign origin. They brought out the
theory Of rotation of crops as a natural
means for keeping up and increasing the
fertility of the soil. They first ground
up gypsum and bones, and treated the lat
ter with acid to make manures Of peculiar
value. They FIRST analyzed soils as
means of determining what was wanted
to increase their fertility. They intro
duced the most approved methods of rails
ing and distributing water.
Fancy farmers or fancy horticulturists
have given US all our varieties of fruits,
vegetables and flowers A fancy farmer,
in Vermont, few years ago originated
the Early Rose potato, which added mil
lions Of dollars to the wealth of the
country, and proved most important &C
cession IN every part OF the world where
introduced. Another of these same fancy
men originated the Wilson strawberry,
and another the Concord grape.

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND
MONEY.

Economical Hints-Do you really need
the article? 1t is probably pretty arti-
Gle in dress, in furniture but what solld
benefit will it be to you? Or is it some
luxury for the table, that you can as well
do without? Think, therefore, before you
spend your money. Or you need new
carpet, new bedstead, or = new dress,
you are tempted to buy something . little
handsomer than you had intended, and,
while you are hesitating, the dealer says
to you, I" It's only triAe more, and you
see how far prettier it is.'' But, before
you purchase, stop to think. Win you
be the better year hence, much less IN
old age, for having squandered your
money? Is it not wiser to " lay up some
thing tor rainy day." An these lux
uries crafty you only for the moment !;
you soon tire of them, and their only per-
manent effect is to consume your means.
It is by such little extravagancies, not
much separately, bat ruinous in the ag-
gregate, that the great majority of fami-
lies are kept comparatively poor The
FIRST lesson to learn is to deny yourself
useless expenses; and the first step toward
learning this lesson is, think before you

The season for planting tomatoes il
nearly at hand, and fear that all lovers
of this delicious fruit do not know how to
grow them successfully. When the plsnts
are ready for the garden, make consid-
erable hill of good compost. Chip ma
nure is excellent, and quantity of chicken
manure is good. After the hin is made,
drive long stake through it The train
ing will require attention The plant will
immediately begin to sucker, or throw
side shoots, just above each leaf. These
must be cut of, and then the plant will
run up vigorously. Tie it to the stake
and do not be afraid to use knife. Keep
on cutting each stem that appears in the
axil of the leaf, and keep on tieing. The
first bearing branches come directly from
the body of the plant. Remember that
this training must be continued as long
as the plant bears. Thus trained, the
fruit is superior in size, quantity and fla
vor, besides being less liable to rot or
drop Off Country Gentleman.

pods almost with the force of shot from

shed 1t hand along the Northern side
Of the thrashing door, under which the
beans can be quickly raked should .
shower of rain appear, for it won't do for
the beans to get wet. A little rain not
only blackens and damages the beans,
but also stops future thrashing."
When al the beans have popped out
that sciU pop out, the stems or centres of
the bunches are raked Then comes the
cleaning, which consists in running the
mass Of beans and hulls through . COM
mon wheat-fanning mill-the dirt and
hulls fan out and leave the beans reason
ably clean. The next operation is to put
up the beans In two-bushel sacks and ship
them to market. The only market for
them at present, 50 far as we know, Is at
st. Louis, and the price paid for the beans
delivered at the oil mill usually range in
the neighborhood Of one dollar per bushel
Now, draw your own cenelusions as 60
whether or not the crop would pay. If
after q due consideration of all circnm-
stances connected with the matter, you
are of the opinion that it would pay bet
ter than any other crop you could grow,
you have only to write to some commits

Most of the castor beans now consumed
in the United States are raised in Illinois

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 1879.
Nessrs Lord and Taylor-Gentlemen: J. W.
for his family, please see that he is snited. and
send bill to hIm; he will remit or can charge
same TO my account Yours ETC. l. Com.
The above order was the subject of q
very interesting lawsuit in the Seventh
District Court, last week; . suit in which
the presence or absence of so apparently
small and unconsidered tride as . com
ma played an important part in the de-
termination of the issue. 1t was suit
brought by Messrs. Lord d Taylor against
Leopold Cohn, the signer of the order, to
recover from him sixty dollars, the price
of thirty yards of silk furnished to Har-
ris on the strength Of the order.
Mr.. Wallace, OF Lord i Taylor's credit
department. testified to the sale and de-
livery of the goods, and that bat for the
order the credit would not have been
given. This was the plaintiffs case.
The defendant, Cohn, offered no evi-
dence, but his counsel argued the case
for him, contending among other things
that the paper he signed was ambiguous
or capable of double construction that
il was not guaranty, but . simple offer
on his part to assume the payment of the
bill that Harris might purchase on pre-
senting the letter. If the plaintiff so cleo
ted. Il was conteuded thas the lester or
order was merely an o1Eer, q proposal,
which In order to bind him must be ac-
eepted by the plaintiffs, and notice Of such
acceptance at once given Mr.. Cohn.
Il was also argued for Cohn that be-
cause there was no comma after the word
"remit," ," the construction that should be
put upon the letter was that It containsd
m option to the plaintiffs to accept either
Harris or Cohn a. their debtor; and that
In accepting Harris flor they had frst
billed Harris for the money! they hsd
made their election or option, and could
not now look to the defendant, Cohn. In
other words, it was argued that the letter
was merely suggestion TO tie plainfias
TO seIl goods 60 Harris on credit, for which
Harris weuld remit, or Il plaintiffs did not
desire to trust Harria, they could ct once
charge ths goods that Harris bought TO

1t is said that after lengthy and thor
ough trial in the West to see whether It
viii pay to fatten swine on filth and in
humanity, it has been discovered that
healthy food, sweet clover pastures, purs
water and clean sleeping places pay best.
Hog cholera, measles and all other hog
diseases revel in filth and foul air. Strange
that it takes the world so long to learn
that humanity to animals pays far better
than barbarous treatment. Strange that
man, who obtains such stores of wealth,
comfort and prosperity from domestic an
imals, so often treats them as though they
were outlaws and curse to the human
race Hardly any of the working ami
mails live two-thirds as long n thev
should live-few of them do, in their life
time, two-thirds as much service as kind
treatment would secure.

IN this case has no punctuation whatever

tion, therefore, rs against the defendant

tended that if Harris did not remit when
he received the bill, the plaintiffs could
