Necessity Of Relaxation.

Complaints are made for farmers, if not
by them, of their isolation and the lack
of social intercourse among them. No
doubt much of this is true, and rural
life is to great extent lonesome and
an unsatisfactory one in this respect
When the farmers day is over and his
last "chores" are finished, and the last
round made to see that his stock are all
safe for the night, he usually retires to
rest, weary and worn out, and in no mood
for reading or study or other intellectual
work, much less for going out to visit his
ueighbors. But, then, this is his own
choosing, and he alone is to blame for
what there is to blame about it. Why
should farmer work more hours than
the mechanic whom he pays to work for
him? The mason or the painter works
from to 5, and calls that day, and
exacts from the farmer stated sum for
1t. And one mechanic is the same as
another in this respect, and will work for
no more hours nor for any less pay than
mother. But when the mason comes
teisurely to work at 8 o'clock, the farmer
has done three hours work, and will not
have finished his day until three hours
after the mason's day is done. So the
mechanic has an opportunity for rest and
recreation and self-culture which the
farmer has net. But why should the
farmer permit himself to be thus over
taxed in this respect? His work is as
skillful and important as that of any
mechanic, and needs more thought and
knowledge or experience than any of the
common arts require. And therefore the
farmer needs more leisure and freedom
for study, because he can never at any
time say of his work: 81 am an expert
workman and have all the secrets of my
art at my fingers ends" Alas, how diff
ferent! The farmer is beset with null
titude of dark problems which puzzle the
most acute and expert practical and
scientific thinking men who have given a
whole lifetime of thought to these ques-
lions. And even when he learns of the
results of years of experiment by which
some factshave become known, he is then
standing alone, for until he tests these
results upon his own soil, and under his
own peculiar conditions, and each one
for himself, he cannot be sure that they
will turn out as they have done elsewhere.
Thus, the farmer must be student and
an experimenter for himself, and so he
tan never at any moment take forgranted
the results of other persons work and in
gestigations.
1t is, therefore, specially necessary that
farmer should have at least as much
leisure as a mechanic or an artisan, and
should be able to secure from his equal
hours of labor at least sufficient re.
enumeration to enable him to live in com,
fort and enjoy adequate leisure for study,
recreation and social pleasures.-Henry
iSteaoart, in n. Y. Times.

A HOp.Picking Machine.

A letter from CoOperstown, in the N.
Y. Post, gives this account of the opera
tons of an improved hop picking machine
now at work in large yard near that
village, which is confessed not to be much
of an improvement on the human ma
chine: 1t is simple continuance, which
the patentee, who was operating it,. ac-
knowledged to be as yet in an imperfect
and experimental state. 1t consists of q
small set of rollers geared upon bearings
which separate or draw close together by
means of spiral springs. The hop vine is
cutfrom the poles in pieces, and is fed
between the rollers, butt end first. The
vine and leaves pass between the rollers;
drop down upon a receiver, and are car
ried to a table where two persons are
kept busy picking out the leaves that
may follow the course of the hops. The
machine operates somewhat like the COM
mon clothes-wringer, the hops, being
more bulky than the vines and the leaves,
breaking off when they come to the
rollers, as shirt-button is torn from its
fastening while the shirt passes smoothly
between the rollers which press the
moisture from it. Last year this hop
picking machine was operated by foot
power, the man who fed in the vines also
plyinga foot-treadle as motive power.
The patentee has this year geared his
machine to power, which is operated by
sheep. The power is the common
tread-mill used By farmers who, do their
churning by dog or sheep power. When
the writer saw this hop-picking machine
in operation it was run by medium
sized, mild-eyed eve, whose plaintive
bleat now and then pleaded to be re-
leased from the endless uphill journey.
Near by two other woOl-bearers were
tethered waiting their turn on the tread
mill. By thus changing sheep frequent
ly the three are able to keep the picking
machine running throughout the day.
To operate the machine, to its full oapaci-
ty requires two personssto fetch she vines
from ths poles, one to feed and two to
pick out the leaves that drop down
among the hops. TIE five persons who
are required to attend it could pick near
ly as many hops as the machine does,

"A Boston Judge of the Supreme
Court initiates Solomon in dividing up
the disputed ownsrshipof child. Robert
HOlden's wife went mad ten years ago
and as he dissipated and failed to take
care of his children an aunt took charge
of May, who was then seven years old.
Holden now claims that he can support
the girl respectfully, and wanted the
court to grant him writ Of habeas cor
pus that be might compel the aunt to
give up his daughter. May testified
tearfully that she did not want to go
back to her father, and as she was well
dressed and read creditably page of a
big law book that Judge Field handed
her, the Judge decided that her aunt was
the best keeper of the girl, and ordered
that May be under her control for six
days of each week and subject to her
father one day Of the week.-Bassoa POST

Paris.Green.

We are of the opinion now, as we have
been for several years past, that the most
economical way to apply Paris-green is
to mix it with plaster rather than with
water. In the latter the poison cannot
be equally distributed, stir the water as
we may. The upper portion of the wa
ter will will always hold less than the
lower portions where the insoluble
heavy powder collects in larger quanti-
ty in spite of constant stirring. The
leaves of the potato plant are harmed by
this. Not so with the -four or plaster.
While we must use tablespoonful Of
the Green to pailful of water to render
it effective, the same quantity thoroughly
mixed with two pailfuls of plaster will
prove Just as efectual.
Again much of the water applied falls
to the ground. A part only is retained
on the leaves, while nearly all of the
poisoned plaster, if skillfully applied,
falls upon and is retained by the leaves
until the next rain. The poisoned water
does not settle or dry upon the edges of
the leaves but collects near the center OF
midveins so that the beetles eat up the
best part of the leaf ere they encounter
the poison and the leaves are for the most
part destroyed. The poisoned plaster set
ties upon the edges as upon other por-
lions of the leaves and the beetles are
killed with comparatively little injury
to the leaves. Paris-green is a perfect
beetle insecticide and from careful use
and experiment since its introduction we
are of the opinion that it will be hard to
improve upon it. When properly ap-
piled it need not injury the leaves to the
smallest extent. Purchase pure Paris
green, then mix it on an unused floor
with an iron-tooth rake, using only
enough green to impart the first visible
tint Of green, and sift it upon the vines.
The plaster can do no harm-it may do
good-the Paris-green can do no harm
and the potato beetles or grubs will sure
ly be killed. AS several times stated be-
fore, we have this one objection to the
use of London purple, viz: that it will
not bear anything like SO much extension
as Paris-green and still be effective
while if used too strong, the vines are
scorched at once.-Rural NeU Yorker.

+! Seeding to grass should be done as
early as practicable, that it may have a
good start before winter. Timothy seed
among wheat may make strong growth
and reduce the grain crop next season,
but the value of the grass will be greater
than the loss of grain. Grass seed sown
early in September on clean ground, with
no other crop, will afford good crop of
hay next summer, or from one-half to
two-thirds of full and heavy return the
year afterwards. When the winters are
not severe with cutting winds, early sown
clover will survive. but it is safest to SOW
it early in spring in cold regions.-St.
Louis Globe.

Thoughts on Thought.

May not a man expend as much
thought or brain power in "making uE
his mind" and unmaking it again in try.
ing to decide what he shall have fol
breakfast as would drive a good bargain
and bring him in 500?
When any important subject "weighs
heavily" on his mind, and no decision
can be reached, is it not best, if possible
to "stop thinking" about it?
Do not many perplexing matters clear
themselves up if left alone for time?
When one realizes that every second
of anxious thought is drain on his body
of strength as though he were being sub.
jected to very slow process of bleeding
will he not try to "take things easier?"
Does General directing the opera
tons of a great battle think any "harder'
than a woman who has lost her bunch Of
keys and is trying to "think" where she
left them?
Did anybody ever recollect anybody
else's name which had suddenly s'slipped
out" of the mind by trying to ''think il
upY'
But if one takes things easier and stops
"trying to think" won't the forgotten
name after awhile come round itself?
If we analyze this so-called process oil
''trying to think in such case, does il
not really consist of the repetition of the
question; "What is his name? What
What? What can it BET"
Is there not far more misery lived
through and suffered in thought than in
actual experienced
Would it not be an invaluable quality
to be able to forget?
For instance, in the case of the man
who is to be hanged or shot tomorrow,
OF the man who fears he has caught the
smallpox? Or the woman who ha,
doubts of her husband? Or the husband
:ice versa Of her?-N r Graphic.

The year outgrows the spring It thought 90 sweet,
And clasps the summer with new delight;
Yet, wearied, leaves her languors and her heat
when coolbrowed autumn dawns upon his sight.
Tho tree outgrows the bud's suggestive grace,
And feels new pride in blossoms fully blown
But even this to deeper Joy gives place
when bending boughs meath blushing burdens groan
Lfe's rarest moments are derived from change,
The heart outgrows old happiness, old grief,
And suns itself m feelings now and strange;
The most enduring pleasure Is but brief.
Our tastes our needs never twice the came,
Nothing contents us long however dear;
The spirit in us, like the grosser frame,
Outgrows the garments which II wore last year.
Change is the watchword Of progression. When
We tire Of welworn ways, wo seek for new,
This restless craving in the souls of men
Spurs them TO climb and seek the mountain view.
So let who will erect o solemn shriuo
To meek browei CoDstancy, and sing her praise;
Unto enliyening Change shall build uine,
Who lends new zcst and pleasure to my days
