Farmer:
I am an humble farmer; try To
live at home by making what we eat.
We raise our meat, corn, wheat, oats,
peas, potatoes, etc. Now, the ques
zion may be asked, chow do you d"
it?" Well, easy enough; when ] am
working one crop / prepare for an
other. buy no guano; when i
haul out a load of manure L bring
back something to make more. De
you want to know how l make corn
enough a ''dry'' year Gas was the
last) to supply the farm2 i always
prepare for a year by thorough and
deep preparation, and follow it uf
with regular and systematic worn
all through the season, whether it
be wet or dry. If you make plenty
of corn it is but little trouble 10
raise your meat. 1 practice econo-
my, and so does my wife. We com
menced excepting house" four years
ago last January, badly in debt, and
now we don owe a dollar W.
pay the cash for everything we buy,
and t., enable us to do this, we
raise something to sell all the
time
l haven't said anything about
liking cotton" We raise but little,
satisfied we can't climb poverty
hilr' with cotton, simply because it
Sakes too long, and costs too much,

and make cotton.
In conclusion, l will tell you how

Ter all receipts and expenditures.

[ receive one / do the same, and at
the end of each month l strike a
balance, and see what has gone out
and come in; then, at the close of
the year, can tell whether l have

saves many nickel, and they save
the dollars. LITTLE FARMER.

What Trada Of profesaIon . Follow.

1t is an anxious inquiry with
many parents and sons as to what
is best to follow as a life calling.
Other things equal, tits very de-
sirable that young man should
follow that for which he is naturally
gifted and adapted, and which, as a
general rule, he likes to do. We all
take more pleasure and succeed bet
ter in such direction than any
other. A horse that might take the
first premium for speed, ifput on to
a dray or tip-cart, would make a
sorry appearance and amount to
very little, while it would be equal
" true if q NAV should attempt to
train heavy dray-horse for race
course Most boys at an early age,
to wise and close observer, indi-
cate whether they have mechani-
cal taste and talent with the physi
cal or mental capabilities necessary
to succeed in a given direction.
And yet what boy very earnest
ly wishes to do may be the best for
him to follow, even il he does
not seem quite so well adapted for
it as for something else, for we all
know how much more interest and
force we put into anything winch we
have voluntarily and eagerly chos
en- to do.
A young man may be graduate
from college and yet seek our large
cities in vain for remunerative
work unless he has been trained in
some special department of actual
wo.k. If young man is skilled
10 working in brass or wood or iron
or silver, he will find employment,
but whatever his natural abilities
he will stand sorry chance unless
he is wiling and able to begin at
the bottom rung Of .the ladder and
work up. Merchants even prefer
in some cases to have q boy begin
his business education with them,
and learn their way of doing things
rather than to take them after they
have been to 3 commercial college
and got a way of doing things that
wouldn't suit them, especial Y
if they have become conceited, and
think they know even more than
their employers.
Farming is last becoming one of
the best caIlings in the world. We
could not blame young men of the
generation before the present for
wishing to leave the farm. 1t was
one long life struggle of muscle
againt the inertia of the soil to get
bare living. But to-day, by tne
blessing of labor saving machinery.
one-half of the back aching, grind
ing toll is avoided.
A young man who was studying
law suddenly became deaf. With
great reluctance he gave up the
law. went west, and bought farm.
At the end of ten years he said that
if he had to begin again he should
choose farming rather than the Law
as his calling. But whatever we dc
let US do it cheerfully, diligently anu
with patience, and by the Divin,
blessing our lives shall prove
success.

Eggs as Ford

The Boston journal of Chelnis-
try" says that eggs, at average
prices, are among the cheapest and
most nutritious article fdiet. Like
milk, an egg is a complete food in
itself, containing everything neces-
lay for the development of perfect
animal, as is manifest from the
fact that chicken is formed from
it. 1t seems mystery how muscles,
bones, feathers and everything that
a chicken requires for it's perfect
development are made from the
yelk and white of an egg; but such
is the fact, and it shows how com
plete a food an egg is. 1t is also
easily digested, if not damaged in
the cooking. Indeed, there is no
more concentrated and nourishing
food than eggs. The albumen, oil
and saline matter are, as in milk, in
he right proportion for sustaining
animal life. Two or three boiled
eggs, with the addition of slice OF
TWO of toast, will make a breakfast
sufficient for q man, and good
enough for a king.
A hen may be calculated to con-
sumo one bushel of corn yearly, and
lay ten dozen or fifteen pounds of
eggs. This is equivalent to saying
that three and one-tenth pounds of
corn will produce, when fed to a hen,
five sixths of pound of eggs; but
ive-sixths Of a pound of pork re-
Iuires about five pounds of corn for
its production. Taking into account
the nutriment in each, and the com
parative prices of the two on an ave-
rage the pork is about three times
as costly food as the eggs, while
it is certainly less healthful.

Misguided Legislation,

If the quantity and cheapness of
cotton, sugar, rice, and bIeadstutfs
were such that all buying nations
sent hither all that they expended
in purchasing those commodities,
the annual account current of the
United States with the exterior
world would show a vast sum OF in
lebtedness to us to be paid in gold.
Now, London commonly holds
United States securities

gold these coupons produce.
But if the Mississippi valley were

yourselves. David lost his son
Though David was king, he lay on
the earth moaning and inconsolable
for some time. AT this distance of
time which do you really think was
the one to be congratulated, the
short-lived child or the long lived
father? Had David died as early
as that child died, he would, in the
first place, have escaped that par
ticular bereavement of Ahsalom, his
recreant son, and the pursuit of tn
Philistines, and the fatigues of his
military campaign, the jealousy OF
Saul, and the perfidy of Ahithophel,
and the curse of Shimei, and che de-
struction of his family at Ziklag,
and above all he would have es-
capped the two great cslamities OF
his life, the great sins of unclean-
ness and murder. David lived to
be of vast use to the church and
the world, but 80 far as his own
happiness was concerned, does it
not seem that it would have been
better for him to die early? Now
this explains some things that have
been inexplicable. This shows
why, when God takes little children
from household, He is very apt to
take the brightest, the most genial,
the most sympathetic, the most
talented. Why? 1t is because
that kind of nature suffers the most
when it does suffer, and is most
liable to temptation. God saw the
tempest sweeping up from the
Caribbean, and He put the delicate
craft into the first harbor. Taken
away from the evil to com e. DR..

The Girl for Your Money.

A physician writes to young men
as follows: My profession has
thrown me among women of all
classes. and my experience teaches
me that the Creator never gave man
a greater proof of his love than to
place woman here with him. My
advice is-Go and propose TO the
most sensible girl you know. If she
accepts you, tell her how much your
income is, and from what source de-
rived, and tell her you will divide
the last shilling with her, and that
you will love her with all your heart
into the bargain; and then keep
your promise. NV word for it, she
will live within your income, and to
your last hour you will regret that
you did not marry sooner. Stop
worry ng about feminine extrava-
gance, and feminine untruth. Just
you be true 10 her--love her sincere
ly, and a more fond, faithful, fool
ish slave you will never meet any
where. You will not deserve her, j
know; but she will never know it.

A Famous Doorksepsr.

er of the white house, was marked
character. He had his foibles.
which often offended the fastidious-
ness of the presidents nephew and
secretary, Major Donelson, who
caused his dismissal on an average
of about once a week. But on APP
pealing to the higher court the YER
dict was always reversed by the
good old general. Once, however,
Jimmy was guilty of some fragrant
offence, and being summoned be-
fore the president himself, was thus
addressed: Jimmy, / have borne
with you for years in. spite of all
complaints but this goes beyond
nay power of endurance" "And do
you believe the storyT' II have
just heard it from two senator's"
Faith" reto ted Jimmy, "if be-
Iieved all that twenty senators says
about you, it's little I'd think you
was fit to be president" "Pshaw!'
concluded the general, ''clear out
and go back to your duty, bnt be
more more careful hereafter" Jim
my not only retained his place to
the close of Jackson's presidential
term, but accompanied him back
to the Hermitage, and was with hun
to the day of his death.
