provement which he deems will contribute to
the general good. The factory will now pro-
coed under threatened tariff difficulties.

with PeacHck-bue and trimmed with some
lovely pale blue ostrich feathers. A rather

Advantages of Small Farms.

1t must be conceded that high cult
walton can ordinarily best be done upon
small farms, especially where one's cap
ital is limited. The tendency to inn
prove small farms, as compared more
thoroughly with large ones. is apparent
in every thriving soIas9 3s,,, ~,
fullness. The owners are stipulated to
frugality to obtain means for the pur-
chase of improved implements and com
mercial manures.
Many man drags out a debt-burden-
BRAIN and tills more land that it is
possible for him to till in. order to render
it profitable. IL the same degree of in
dustry, with more precision of applica-
ton, were expended on smaller space,
it would result, almost invariably, in in
creased comfort, happiness and general
prosperity, if not in wealth.
The mania for possessing large planta-
tons and farms, and as many as posi-
BILE of them. is evidently on the increase
in this country. Heavy taxation of UNI
settled lands. owned by non-residents
for speculative purposes, proves to be
but partial remedy in suppressing the
evil. To every thinking person who is
interested in the general prosperity of
the country, it is evident that inteasiUe
farming is better every way than for
individuals to undertake the extensive
culture of large aries, resulting. as it
generally does, in dimished production

Fatal Amusement.

Four years ago a Young girl belonging

Gated with giimpses of the gay world

paper for 1.-THE acquaintance of an intel

pondeuce followed with the rascal who
inserted the advertisement--an men who
advertise for young lady correspondents
are always evil-minded men-and at last
photographs where exchanged. The
whole affair seemed To this inexperienced,
innocent girl, a harmless little drama in
which She played the role of heroine
Aftera few weeks her friend and cor
respondent came to the city where she
was An hour was set in which he was
TO pass the window OF her boarding house,
and they were TO see each other Tor the
first time. He was middle aged man,
handsome and well-dressed with q mel
ancholy, romantic air which thrilled her
heart. A meeting was arranged in a
restaurant. Tokeep the tlyst she escaped

One night, therefore, she disappe arsd,
and when she returned after a few weeks
she showed her wedding-ring, declaring
that she had been married. Investiga-

The story needs no words to point
its meaning. Innocent young girls are
too apt to carry on so-callel llirfations,
and even correspondence. for the sake of
the temporary excitement or fun with
men to whom they are strangers. 1t is
well for them to remember thatalthough
the foolish drama may not end in trag-
edy like this, they are endangerine their

Agricultural Economies

The profit of the future IS TO come in
avoidance of wastes of the farm. As the
country grows older, land dearer and
immigration heavier competition wakes
fiercer in all agricultural production. 4
ruinous share of the hay is lost first IN
cutting when ripened to woodiness or
dried to hardened stems; then in giving
it out TO sustain life and animal heat
rather than for fat and flesh. Corn Is
also thrown away by insufficient or in
judicious feeding. There is enormous
loss in keeping poor cow that yields
300 gallons of milk per annum instead of
one that produces 900 at about the same
cost. One may bring the owner In debt
while the other affords handsome
profit on expense OF keep. A COW that
gives milk only from April to November
and runs dry when forage is costly, and
milk is dear, should have few months
extra feeding, and 90 TO the butcher as
soon as possible. That cow.is dry for
more than six weeks is the fault of the
owner in not procuring the survival OF
the fittest, and again perhaps in not
supplying ample and succulent food at
all seasons, while the milk habit of the
young COW is forming. The loss in milk
and meat by irregular feeding and
change from fresh pastures to straw
stack and coarse hay during an incle-
ment season, is an irreparable waste
which is projected into the succeeding
summer without regard to the abund-
anee of its pasturage. ~
The losses from negligence or want of
skill, In the preparation for market, the
manipulation or manHfacture from raw
material is enormous. Milk of the same
quality. of the same cost, makes butter
at fifteen cents aud at half a dollar per
pound. Mixed fruits sell in market at
half the value of assorted samples neatly
put up. The pig products of famous
Massachusetts farm are disposed of in
New York city at twenty-three cents per
pound, while similar goods from the
average farm command butfifteen cents
Skill, taste, neatness and well-earned
reputation for reliable excellence get the
highest rewards give better dividends
than the capitaland laboIrrepresentedi in
the product on which they are expended
There is solid money in these untanga-
bic valuables. But the wastes that may
be avoided are numerous in every de
partment of agricultural praetice,s and
cannot be limited at in a paragraph.
They are illustrated in the differing costs
and selling prices of adjoining farms in
every neighborhood of the land.-N y
