Be Careful How You Speak.

Never use lady's name at an i'm
proper time, or in mixed company.
Never make assertions about her that
you think untrue, nor illusions that
you think she herself would blush to
hear. When you meet with men who
do not scluple to make use of a wo-
mans name in a reckless and unprin-
cipled manner, shun them-they are
the very worst members of the COM
munity-men lost to every sense of
honor, every feeling of humanity. Ma
ny good and worthy woman's charac-
has been forever ruined, and her heart
broken, by lie manufactured by some
villain and repeated where it should not
have been, and in the presence of those
whose little judgement could deter
them from circulating the foul and brag-
ging report. A SANDER is soon propa-
gated, land the smallest thing derogatory
to a woman's character will fly on the
wings of the wind, magnify as it circu-
lates, until its monstrous weight crush
es the poor unconscious victim. Respect
the name of woman; your mother and
sisters are women, and as you would
have their fair name untarnished, and
their lives unembittered by the SANDER
ers bitter tongue, heed the i'll that
your own words may bring upon the
the mother, the sister or wife of some
fellow creature.

Economy on the Farm.

1t has been truly said that the prof.
its Of future farming in this country
must depend more than ever upon econ
omy on the, farm. As the country grows
Older, population increases, the price of
land advances and competition wakes
hercer in all agricultural production.
The aggregate of losses on the average
farm resulting from inefficient labor,
want of forethought, careless manage
ment, tardiness in various operations,
imperfect implements, improper feed
ing, Improbable stock of all kinds etc.
would alone amount to very hand
some profit in years operations if it
could be prevented. There is great
loss in keeping COW that yields 300
gallons of milk per annum instead of
one that wovld produce 600 gallons at
the same or slightly greater cost.
The losses from negligence in the
preparation of the products of the farms
for market is enormous. In the cotton
crop of Georgia difference of ] cent
per pound in the market quality of the

product would amount to S2,00O,0OO

man sells more butter at uniformly
higher prices than his neighbor who
thinks it is not worth while to be SC
particular about feeding, milking and
churning, and the style in which the
product is put on the market.
The wastes that may be avoided are
numerous in every department of farm
practice, and are well illustrated in the
differing costs and selling prices of pro.
ducts from the same neighborood, and
in the different results when the balance
is struck at the end of the year,

Advice to YOnng Travellers.

Travelling in our country is both
comfortable and agreeable, if the trav-
eler will pay attention to few direct
ions. | suppose, dear little friends,
that you have seen fussy and fdgety
people on the road, who made them
selves and other people unhappy by
their behavior. The cars were two
warm or two cold, the locomotive was
going to fast or too slow, they feared
the baby in the next seat had the
whooping.cough; or they were sure
there would be a collision. If on the
water, they were in terror lest the
engineer was racing, and the uneasi-
ness they felt made them wretchcd.
"Now, my dears, listen to me,
When you go on a journey you are a
passenger your ticket is paid for; and
as you are neither captain, pilot, con-
ductor, nor engineer, give yourself no
trouble about the way the car or boat
is being managed, Never take res
possibility that does not belongto you.
The old Romans used to call bag
gage impedimenta. They tried to have
as little of it as they could when on
march. Unless you are going to stay
a long time, take no more luggage thar
is necessary. A little handbag or
shawl-strap, with perhaps an umbrella
is all that a young traveller should hav'
to care for on journey.
When you purchase your ticket, /
no older friend is with you b attent
to the checking of your trunk, yol
must see to it yourself. This is yer.

The Barbar0uS Binders,

The abominable cruelty that is perpe-
trated on the horse by placing blind bri-
dies on them, is almost sufficiently de-
scribed in the following from the Turf,
Field and Farm, of New York City.
1t says; at is an outrage on the horse,
and the person who drives him to use
binders. The shying and sudden fright
of horses in harness is undoubtedly due
to this practice of hood-winking their
eyes. The facial bones are thrown for
ward at the eye-sockets, thereby enab.
lin the horse to see nearl y as well be-
hind him as before him. When blin-
ders are used the range of vision is
limited, and the horse is allowed only
a small space to peep out, and that, too,
not in the direction of true vision.
Objects do not appear distinct or natur-
al, and what wonder is it that the horse
starts when he discovers what seems to
him, because of indistinctness, some
strange monster. Horses will run day
after day in pastures among rocks and
stumps, and manifest no sign of fright,
yet when driven in harness by these
same objects will shy. This clumsy
contradiction of nature is also potent
means of bringing blindness to thous.
ands of horses in our land by retaining
the heat aud dust that accumulates
about the eye. There are many i'm.
provements yet to be made in harness.
We load our horses with too many trap.
plugs. One-quarter Of the expense in
Cured is for useless straps, buckles and
trimmings. The more light the harnes:
can be made with reference to strength,
the more ornamental it will be. The
loads our horses are obliged to draw
are enough without loading them dowr
with harness."

Mistake in Using Manure,

In my method of using stable ma.
nure, mainly to help the clover, l aim
to make little 60 as far as possible.
If | had a good deal, should certain.
ly apply it all; but | wish to cover, OF
partially cover, as much ground as pos.
slble' If had only load per acre,
l should try to spread the load over as
large a part as possible, rather than
dump it on one corner. Yet | find the
contrary practice quite prevalent. The
hauling out of manure is mostly en-.
trusted to hired help, and it is one Of
the things that most employees will moi
do well. Only the other day saw a
man and team drawing manure for
wheat at the rate of fully twenty-five
horse loads per acre, an amount that |
should be glad to get for my corn and
potato ground, Close by this three
acre piece thus heavily manured is an.
other piece Of ten acres, owned by the
same farmer, that will get nothing ex.
cept dressing of phosphate drilled in
with the wheat. What will be the re.
l.
sultf Where sixty loads were applied
to three acres, the wheat will fall down.
probably fill imperfectly and smother
the clover seeding. Gu the ten acres
not top dressed, the clover will be
stunted and poor. The sixty loads Of
line manure would have made a fair
top dressing for thirteen acres, would
have given more wheat, aud probably
twice the clover growth year hence
that there will be now. In the spring
there is less disadvantage in concentra.
ting the manure on a small part of the
TILED field, and there may often be
good reasons for making small field
as rich as possible; but in the fall, for
top dressing wheat, and especially
where clover is to be esownin the spring
the advantage is altogether in covering
the whole surface as nearly as possible.

Fertility Restored.

During the past few years much has
been written about the exhaustion of
soils in several of the Eastern States,
in consequence of raising several crops
Of wheat in close succession. Now re-
ports of another character are in circul-
alton. Excellent crops of wheat have
been produced in New York and all
the New England States on land that
was pronounced incapable of longer
producing it. The culture of wheat
was almost abandoned ia many portions
of these States several years ago, partly
on account of the fearful destruction of
insects, but chiefly on account of the
very small yield. The lands on which
wheat could no longer be raised with
any profit were seeded down to grass
and kept in meadow Or pasture for
number of years. On plowing them
up they were found to be again pro-
ductive ofan excellentqualIty of wheat.
The yield is generally y found to be the
heaviest on land that had been devoted
to pasture and on which some trees
and bushes had grown. TO use the
language of Yankee farmer, "the
land having become rested was ready
to go to work again" All observers
have noticed that nature has her own
way ofrestoring fertility to soils. Rocks
crumble when exposed to the action of
frost and sun, rains mix sand and clay,
the roots Of trees and bushes penetrate
subsoil and bring to the surface many
mineral fertilizers, while every kind of
soil absorbs gases from the atmosphere
Unless some crop is raised the land
that is taken off, the soil will constant
ly improve and become more fertile.
Much of the lands in the Southern
States improved in chemical compost
ton during the time it was left uncul.
tiyated while the war was going on.
A New York financial journal says:
Fears have been entertained that the
continued cropping would in time ex-
haust our best wheat producing lands,
and that the time would come, and at
no distant period, when the area Of pro-
duction and acreage yield of this cereal
would begin to decline. Such result
has been produceb by most English
writers upon this subject. These con-
clusions, however, are not sustained by
experience. Cropping year after year
with wheat, like that of any other grain
or product, results in exhausting those
elements of the soil necessary for the
growth of any specific crop, but does
not SO destroy its adoption that it may
not be revived by fertilizer and i'm
proved cultivation to its original vigor.
The experience of the western counties
of this State is Illustrative of this fact.
In a primitive state these lands were su-
perior as producers of wheat. Their pro-
ductiveness was noted, and Genesee
wheat and fouI were known to every
commercial country in the world but
exhaustion followed the constant cul-
tivation of this crop alone, until the
yield per acre declined even in the most
favorable seasons, fully two.thirds in
amount Other crops were necessarily
substituted, and rotation in planting,
has restored the soil to production
equal to its original yield.

the various drugs and medicaments
contained in these Bitters, without de-
priving them of their separate value,
that they perform their beneficial eff
feet on all the digestive organs at the
same time. The arrangements of the
stomach and liver are the cause of all
the nervous and brain disorders. Para
lysis, apoplexy, epilepsy, and cholera
arise from neglected gastric affections
in the first place, and are always re-
lieved and often cured by attention to
the digestive organs. These inyalua-
BILE Bitters are the most potent medi-
cines in the world for this purpose, and
never fail in their effect. Appetite is
