FOre!lionght in Farming. -.

Perhaps of all the Industrial people
farmers exhibit the least forethought in
regard to their work. The changing of
thesseasons warn them to be ready to-
put in this crop or harvest that; but
beyond ailittle skill in these farm opera
tons, a large proportion of the farmers
do not work to the best advantage; and
the reason of it is because they do not
plan their work previous to its COM
mencement-they have verv little
method or system, especially about the
small things of the farm. If mer-
chant or q newspaper publisher or a
real estate dealer was to be correspond
ingly Needless in his business, he would
become bankrupt in q short time. A
constant devising, a shrewd, calculation
of the time to be employed in this job
or in that, a careful employment of the
'-slack" days in numerous little import
ant pieces of repairing, hauling, Dig
sing, etc., are needed to keep strong
grasp on the farm and not let it get the
start of YOU. The real estate dealer or
the average lawyer goes to his Office in
the morning, attends to his large COR
respondence, keeps his necessary bust
ness engagements duties as hard IN
themselves to conduct in an orderly
way as are farm operations). and goes
home at night embarrassed by thoughts
of.un performed work that will hinder
him in some busy season. 1t is because
they have trained, orderly minds. The
farmer NAV claim that the number of
different things on the farm demanding
attention is much greater than. in any
other calling. While this may be dispUt-
ed, vet even grantingit, there yet remains
the truth that most farmers do not show
an equal amount of administrative abil-
ity with the business men of the cities.
They may be s,chock' full of more hard
DAYS work than'the city office people.
but they can not make the work round
up so well, and present so finished an
appearance.
Thus how many farmers there are who
fail to employ the spare time after corn
husking in attending TO such seemingly
but by no means unimportant things as
intending a harness. repairing a fence or
shed, examining the tools and nipple
ments, anil oiling, painting and mend
ing them if necessary; in looking. after
the fuel supply for the next year; in dig

Handling Stock.

The term s'handling stock'' is a tech
meal one, more particularly applied to
cattle than to any other domestic ami
mails, but a practical knowledge of it,
even in sheep and swine, is considered
important in England by al. breeders.
When the fingers are moderately
pressed upon the feshy parts of an
animal, and the hair, hide, and
especially the flesh, beneath have a fine,
soft. elastic spring, it is called good
handling; on the contrary, if they are
coarse, thick, hard and rigid to the feel
ing, with little or no spring under the
pressure of the fingers, that is called
bad handling. Of course there are as
many degrees in handling, from very
bad to very good. as there are grades
of animals. The better an animal
handles, the quicker it feeds-that is
the sooner it will mature and become
fully grown for the purpose of breed
ing, or to fat for the butcher, and a
good handler will do this at a much less
consumption of food than q bad one
By cultivating q ace of cattle which
handle well we gain in two ways-les-
sen the time in perfecting them, and
save in the food. For example: Agoof
handling steer car be fully fitted for the
shamble at about three years of age,
while IN Indifferent one will require q
year longer to do this, and a bad one
fully two years; and yet the price real
lied from the three will be within q
fraction of the same. So here is a con
siderably greater consumption of food
in the last two, greater risk in keeping
them, and the loss of one or two years O.
interest on the amount for which they
are sold.
So important is the knowledge o
proper handling considered in England,
that when a grazier comes to purchase
stock of the breeder to feed for the
shambles, he would rather select the
animals blindfold with handling, than
with his eyes wide open to inspect them
without this opportunity OF touching
them.-NahonGt Liue Stock Journal.

ed: If fresh plums are in season use

eral slices of bread in the juice, then
line a pudding dish with the bread and

Analysis fails to show any essential
difference as to the value of either white
or yellow corn. But for table use tho
difference between white and yellow
meal is very great; the individual pref
erence for one or the other appears tc
depend upon early education. Those
who in their early youth have been &C.
customed to use white meal cannot toll
crate the yellow, and vice versa.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
Some one who has tried it says it is
agood plan to burn sulphur in cellars
where milk is kept, especially if thew
are damp. The sulphurous acid evolved
destroys the mildew, which if not checked
will lnjure the flavor of cream and butter.
In many damp cellars the mildew wastes
the cream so that the butter product is
seriously decreased, besides the injury
to quality.
The markets for beef cattle can
hardly be considered in a healthy con-
dltion, prices are disappointing. The
demand for beef is good, and as inn
mense runs are marketed with ease, at
prices astonishing, if compared with the
best prices of two years ago., it conclu-
sively proves that all the meat that a
be raised will find a profitable outlet.
Our trouble this year has been at home,
and it is useless to disguise the fact that
the cattle have not been up to the stand
ard of last or other previous years.

A GOOD MECHANIC,

Me-, writes us these convincing facts, May II, 1888:
~ have for several years been troubled with liver
complaint and indigestion, and have suffered at times
terrible distress, and have tried many different cures,
time. Ionc day noticed in one of our papers the testi-
monial of a person that had used Hunts Remedy and
been cured of diseases similar to mine. I purchased .
bottle of one of our drug stores in Portland, and before
1had used the first bottle found that l was improving
beyond my expectations; have used in oil six bottles,
and have no trouble from indigestion, no distress or
pain in back as 1 formerly had; and since I have been
cured my wife has used 1t for kidney trouble, and It
has cured her. We can both say that Hunts Remedy
is q blessing to any that are troubled with Kidney or
liver diseases. or indigestion. We gladly
lit our friends or to any sufferers from liver or kid
ney diseases, and you can use this letter as you may
choose for the best intereat of suffering humanitY.n

The man opened a box and showed a

ground Goldfish.
"What put it into your head to grind
it in this manner"
"Well, [ was in the fish business,
barely making enough to keep soul and
body together, when a friend came in
and chatfed me for not going into some
other business. He picked up q big
Goldfish scornfully and said: CHOW,
that is a pretty thing to olfera man !; its
just q mess Of strings that nobody can
chew" And to chafe me still further,
he said in sort of a %jocular way, You
ought to hire a boy to chew that fish
for your customers" l got an idea
from that, and before night [ had q
grinding machine, and next morning |
put out a sign Condensed Goldfish
Everybody wondered what that was,
and most of them bought some to try.

alone and had half a dozen instead Of

A o MANS CASE.

Mr.. S. s. HoDeEs, Jr., of No. 147 Park stree,
Lewiston, Me-, relates the following personal nara
tive, May u, 1888: "About fifteen months since had
q sevcre attack o Typhoid fever, was very lame, and
confined to my bed for eleven weeks, and when the
fever left me twas in a very debilitatcd condition. Ny
back and loins seemed to have no strength, and I had
no vitality or appetite. Itricd various kinds Of medi-
cine recommended by my friends, but found they did
not improve my condition. I was induced to try
Hunts Remedy, which has been used with such great
success here in Lewiston that 1t has q very enviable
reputation of being q most reliable medicine. Ipur-
chased one bottle, and can date my improved health
from the time 1 commenced using it, and my progress
continued very rapidly; 1 gained in strength. and cx-
perienced less painin my back. my appetite increased,
and after using three (3) bottles my pains were all
gone, and my health entirely restored. and I can most
heartily recommend Hunts Remedy to any who may
need q true remedy for debility, kidney or urinary
troubles"

The Romances Of a Millionaire.

There were three romances in the life
OF the late Joshua Sears, the million
ARE grocer of Boston. The first was
when he was a poor young man. He
started a Irritation with q wealthy
beauty on a railroad train, called on
her afterwards. and finally found that
his suit was in vain, because he was
poor and she was rich. He became en-
gagged to a dashing young widow. One
OF her friends asked her: "What are
you going to be married to that old
fellow forP" "For his money, of
COURSE" said she. Sears heard of this.
"Form my money, eh ?" he said; mot
by a|blessed- sight" He went to his
lawyers; and was told she would have a
good case in a breach-of-promise suit.
He didn't want q lawsuit, so he handed
a confidential friend $4,000 and told
him to go and see the widow and "fx
things ups" which was done, she ac-
cepting the bride and giving him his
freedom. The third was when he was
an old man. He found himself euor-
mously rich, but thought: "When I
am gone, as l Dol shall he, who will
enjoy it all ?" So he went to his friend
A4pheus Hardy, and said, Hardy, I'm
thinking of getting married. What do
you think about it?" Hardy thought
he knew q lady who would just suit.
"Well, then, Hardy, you go and ar
range it." So Hardy conducted the ne
gotiations and Sears was accepted. On
his wedding morn the bashful bride
groom called Hardy aside and said +:
Hardy, Idon'tknow anything aboutthis
ceremony and you do. So 1 want you
to stick close to my side and coach me,
SO l won't make my laundering mis-
take" Hardy did so and all went well.
