vennor's Predictions for March.

The unfortunate Vennor should have let
up in the matter Of weather prophesying
two yeais ago-the time he hit it-and
rested on his laurels. But the desire to be
an almanac maker, and vend his reputa-
ton at so much per copy, was irresistible,
and so lie yielded to the temptation. He
has since sold the public as well as the
almanac. He can't get the hang Of The
weather. He has been off his eggs thus
far in March. Here are his latest amend.

Atlantic, probably about the Sd, 4th or

Western Ontario, Western, Northwestern
aud Southwestern States, the indications
are that storms will rage with great sevefi-
ty, and that in Northwestern and South
western sections IN intensely cold snap
will be experienced. A sudden and rapid
thaw is then likely to reduce all to slush
and water again, and floods, as u conse-

Most Of the sales advertised in this neigh

brisk. At Lauck's sale last week, cattle
were in great demand and went off at good
prices, yearlings at so to "a each and cows

Make the Home and the Farm Attract
i've.

Robert Collyer says: GOOD homes
are like good apple trees-they propa-
gate after their kind. What you see in
New England in one era you see in Min
nesota in another, and when we make a
home our children viii have to think of
in forty years, we make what they will
then have made out of loving memories.
If things 60 harder with some of the
children than with us, and they never
realize such home, still what we give
them will bless them all their days"
Among the many reasons why our
young folks leave the farm, the main
one is because farm life is made unat-
tractive. The child who is compelled to
pass the most interesting period of life
in home that is little less than board
ing house can hardly be blamed for leay
ing it and seeking a home elsewhere.
No one can be blamed for refusing a life
in which he can see nothing but drudg-
cry to be continued year after year. The
facilities for intellectual culture must be
increased on the farm, if we would put
a stop to the smothered or expressed de-
sire to leave it. ,-...
The farmers boy should have agri-
cultural and other papers, and access to
library of books of practical and in
teresting character. 1t issright that his
ambition in the direction Of attempts to
improve present methods of culture
should be encouraged. He should never
be made such slave to farm work that
no time will be left for social and intel
1ectual culture. 1t is right that he have
the most ample facilities provided for
acquiring information in regard to every
thing that is going on in the world
around him.
There is no need for the seeking of a
wider or deeper field for intellectual
culture than a well-directed farm life af
fords. Herein lies an explanation OF the
fact that men of wealth, of leisure, OF
education and the highest social position
have found the occupation Of farming a
constant source of pleasure, to say moth
ing of the attendant profitable results
when carried on in q business way, on
business principles.
There is now growing popularity for
this calling that augurs well for the
future of the country. Agriculture is
rising above the plane of mere me-
chanical pursuit. The reason is evident.
The daily duties of the wide-awake, pro-
gressive farmer bring him into familiar
contact with the marvellous operations OF
nature. Some one has wisely said that
the hope of a nation rests chiefly upon
the purity and culture Of its homes.
This is especially true in regard to farm
life. When home culture and farm
labor shall go hand in hand, then agri-
culture as a pursuit will take its place in
the foremost rank among the industries
of mankind. Christian Union.

A Dog Stops a Runaway Horse

A horse attached to a cart, becoming
manageable on upper Church street
Wednesday, started off on run, leaving
the owner sitting in the road where he
had fallen when the animal started. The
horse was heading down the street
named and putting on more steam with
every bound that he made, until the cor
ner Of George street was reached. Here
a large Newfoundland dog appeared in
the road and rushed toward the horse s
head. The dog made repeated efforts to
grasp the bride in his mouth, each time
falling heavily to the road and narrowly
escaping injury from the horses feet
But he at last made an extraordinary
spring in the air, and grasping the bride
firmly in his teeth, pulled the horse
head down and put a stop to the runa-
way. We could not learn the name of
the owner of the horse. The dog having
done a remarkable service disappeared
in the direction of George street. Eye
witnesses state that it was one of the
most intelligent acts of a dumb beast
which they had ever seen.-New Bruins

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Tom Thumb wears the same size OF
under-clothing as child six years old,
and buys twelve suits at time. This
is the way he has of showing that there s
nothing small about him.
The Rev. Simon Parmelee celebrated
his centennial birthday at Oswego, N.
Y, a few days ago. Another Oswegoan
died recently aged one hundred and
EIGHT, and a Mr.. Clark, of the same
town, claims to have passed his one
hundred and tenth year. When the
Hon. Alvin Bronson died he was nearly
one hundred.
The venerable and honored almanac
with which the name of Gotha has been
SO long associated reaches with this year
its one hundred and nineteenth volume.
Its portraits in the new issue are OF
Alexander III. of Russia, President Gar
field Ga moderately good one), the
Prince of Hohenlohe and the Queen OF
Spain.
The existence of the law firm OF
Giddings & Wade was ended January l.
It was the oldest firm in Ashtabula

markable in the country. Among its
members have been United States SEN

-ParneI has lately been visited in
Kilmainham Jail, his present residence,
by an American newspaper man, who
describes him as follows: ''The distin-
guished suspect is tall man, with a
well-knit but thin frame; his head is
small, but well balanced, covered rather
thinly at the top with light-brown hair;
his features are regular-clear, brown
eyes; straight, thin nose; good mouth,
and ornamented with mustache and
whiskers, cut straight off on level with
the mouth-a style of hirsuite arrange
ment that gives length and lankness
to naturally long neck. His manners
bear the polish of an educated gentle
man, his speech is entirely free from the
faintest touch of the brogue, and he &C
cents his conversation with the moderate
use of pair of white hands.

BILE for timber and nuts; ash, shellbarh
hickory, pecan, persimmon, dogwood,
etc., not forgetting the hard maple,
reed elm, beach, sassafras and chest
NUT, with good sprinkling OF
evergreens, with June berries, wild
crab, etc. Forty acres may be
cut for hay to winter the elk and deer
on. The other forty may be kept in
pasture. The one hundred and sixty
acres managed in that way ought to
feed and fatten at least one hundred
elks and two hundred deers yearly, and
to turn off as surplus stock worth at the
least calculation, $1,000. The different
kinds of timber on the eighty acres will
become worth in from fifty to one hun
dred years at least one hundred dollars
per acre. making $4,000 The catalpa
hedge all around and across the said
one hundred and sixty acres being re-
markable rapid grower, not root sprout-
ing, but stump sprouting tree, they
can be cut off eight or ten feet high
every ten years. The tops and branches
will be large enough for railroad ties,
telegraph poles, fence posts, grape vine
posts, hop poles, fuel, etc. Each cut
ting may be worth $4,000 for what we
know.
1t seems to be self-evident fact that
elk and deer growing in connection with
forestry will pay. [ hope that our agg-
rie,lltural societies. will begin to look
after elk and deer growing and offer lib
eral premiums to develop the business,
and that the Governor of the great State
of Illinois will see it to be his duty to
appoint an arbor day some day of next
April, and get up some enthusiasm in
forest and fruit tree planting - estern
