Book-Farmers.

Listen to Major Alvord in the
Christian Union. He puts it well {:
"The farmer must apply to himself,
and to the son or sons to succeed
HIM, standard similar to that by
which he measures the qualifca-
tons of his doctor and his minister.
1t is unfortunate that farmers are
so slow in doing this. No one ever
heard of a physician fresh from his
schools and books being sneered at
as book DOCTOR On the contra
ry, all doctors without complement
of book learning, scientific training,
are Stunned and denominated as
'quacks.' Yet very recently it was
common for farmers of the olden
style to look with pity, if not sus-
picion, upon those who studied ag-
riculture as a science and under
took its practice with a progressive
spirit, and to call such book farm
ers.' Happily such errors are pass
ing away; .book-farmers, well-educa-
ted farmers, are making themselves
felt: winning respect and finding an
appreciation of their enterprise.
Let us hope the time is not distant
when bookfarmers, in the best
sense, shall be in the majority.
Then, perhaps, 'quacks' will be
found in farming. The fact is, at
present, quack farmers are too
plenty and book-farmers too few"

Profitable Bee-Keepinr.

Mr.. G.. NJ. Doolittle gives his &C
count with his bees for period OF
ten years. He says that report OF
a very prosperous year is often mis-
leading, but one extending Though
a period of ten years should APP
proXimate very nearly to what
might be expected for the same
length of time to come. His aver
age yield for each colony for the
summer of 1873 was 80 pounds;
1874, about 100 pounds; 1875, a lit
tie over LOG pounds; 1876, so
pounds; 1877, a fraction Of pound
less than 167 pounds; 1878, II
pounds; 1879, 5S pounds; 1880, a
little less than 60 pounds; 1881,
nearly 1875 pounds, and in 1882, it
was 81 pounds, making an average
yield each year for the past ten
years of IS pounds per colony, five
siXths of which has been comb
honey. The average price at which
it has been sold is about 20 cents
for comb honey, the highest price,
2S4 cents, being obtained in 1874,
and the lowest, 1O8 cents, in 1878.
Thus the So pounds, at 20 cents a
pound, gives $17.60 average cash
yield for each colony. Hence, if
man Is capable of keeping so colo
MES. the income would be $3.50 a
year; if 100, it would be 81, 100
After an experience of fourteen
years in the bee business he can see
no reason why it does not compare
favorably with any other pursuit in
life, as far as dollars and cents are
and when one looks at it
as a fascinating and healthgiving
pursuit, it places most other avoca
tions in the shade.

Young man, in the follnwing par

Young man, save that penny

doing; be honest, and then be gen
erous, for all you have or acquire
thus belongs to you by every rule
of right, and you may put it to any
good you please. II is not parsi-
mony to be economical. 1t is not

The Hot Water Remedy.

The hot water rem edy is becom-
ing quite popular, and is being
used very extensively. And DR..
Richie, of the Southern Standard,
endorses it as follows: We have
found nothing that gives quicker
or surer relief to a bilious stomach
than continued draughts of warm
water. If it acts as an emetic so
much the better. In this way it
washes out and effectually cleanses
the stomach and leaves it in a
clean and healthy condition. 1t is
simply a washing out of stomach.
This treatment will be very effect
ual in cases of bilious collie. 1t is
certainly very cheap, simple and
sure remedy, and always at haRd.
This sort of treatment may inter
fere with the druggists sales and
the business of the physician, but
never mind that. We believe
strongly in warm water as remedy
and have used it successfully in our
own family for four years. Try it.

himself such. The man who at his
work will allow himself to look on
the dark side of business; in the
cars will permit himself to join in
rehearsing all the calamities and
disasters, all the financial wrecks
and Irregularities; at the home ia
BILE will throw a shade of gloom
over the wife who must remain at
home all day by detailing his fears
of pending disaster; at the prayer
meeting will call attention to the
little that is being done by the
church for the moral and spiritual
uplifting of the world, censuring the
brethren for their spiritual indo-
lence, is one of the worse possible
enemies of society.
1t is in vain that he attempts to
ease his conscience on the ground
that it is all true, and the world
needs reprOof. There is no virtue
in telling a man when he is walk
ing narrow plank over a great
depth of water, that there is dan
ger of his going in and drowning,
and that he ought to have gone
some other way. All you can &C
cOmplish is to make him dizzy and
precipitate disaster. Cheerful
words, beaming countenance, a
courageous attitude will steady the
nerve and balance the brain of
many q man in an emergency, res
cuing him from danger, when the
reverse action would have precipita-
ted disaster. Any man who on any
pretext showers gloom and sadness
upon the world has the best of rea-
son to examine his responsibility
in the matter and estimate at it's
proper influence the evil he is doing
to society. Fathers, provoke not
your children to anger lest they be
discouraged" LET him that is
fearful and faint-hearted return to
his own home lest his brethren's
heart faint as well as his heart. -

cow Peas.


What You call cow peas are
abundantly raised here, but are
called stock peas, for all manner OF
stock eat them and thrive upon
them. For horses they Sc rye both
the place of hay and corn, and will
grow fat and do work fed on moth
ing but pea hay. There's nothing
better for milk COWS, producing the
the largest quantity of the richest
milk. They are better than corn
and hay both for beef cattle. As a
pasture for hogs, nothing can excel
the pea field While the pea-pods
are just following and not yet dry,
and peas in ripencd green state,
they form a fine dish for the dinner
table
The poorest, most exhausted
land will produce fine peas. They
do best for hay on medium land.
On rich land they produce too much
vine.
In this latitude, southwestern
Kansas, the peas are sowed broad
cast from May 29th to June Goth.
Like all other crops, the prepare
ton of the land has much to do
with their growth. Keep the land
clear of weeds by occasional plow-
ing until, say, the first OF June, then
break the land well, harrow and
SOW the peas broadcast, one bushel
to the acre, then put them in with
very light blowing or barrow
and log-so they are gotten under
the ground, some way. For hay
the bunch is preferred, because it is
more easily garnered, as it stands
up and doesn't run on the gronndlike
the vine pea. When ripe, and be
fore the pea is dry enough to shell
easily, they are cut with a scythe
or mower, and are raked, dried
and kept as other hay, care being
taken not to put them in large
heaps until thoroughly dried.
The vine pea is better where the
land is to be pastured. The vine
sometimes grow forty feet in length.
The amount per acre produced is
simply immense. The speckled or
whippowill pea is always a bunch
pea. All black peas last longer
and stand the winter better than
the red or speckled peas, sometimes
lying on the ground until March
without rotting. AS q green ma
nHFe TO ppiow under nothing excels
them.
7 know Of one field which had
been so totally exhausted thatft
would produce nothing but crawl
grass. Three crops of peas grown
and plowed under in two years,
and seeded in wheat the second
year in October, produced twenty
bushels of wheat per acre

Mothers,

Some one has said that a young
mother is the mot beautiful thing
in nature. Why qualify it? Why
young? Are not all mothers beau
tiful? That sentimental outside be-
holder may perfer youth in the
pretty picture, but / am inclined to
think that sons and daughters, who
are intimately concerned in the
matter, love and admire their moth
ers most when they are old. How
of something holy and
venerable it is when a person talks
of his 'dear old motherT Away
with your mincing mammas, which
name is suggestive only of fine la
dy, who deputies her duties to
nurse; drawing maternal parent,
who is afraid to handle her off
spring for fear of spelling her fine
new gown! Give me the homely
the arms of whose love are
all embracing; who is beautiful al
ways, whether old or young, wheth-
arrayed in satin or modestly attired
in bOmbaZine.

Lye Hominy.

Was our appetite better, or was
the I've hominy of our mother bet
ter than the latter day hominy of
our mills? We have sacred recol-
lections of the savory dishes of
long years ago, and we fear our
good housewives have neary for
gotten how to make it. Let us see
if we have forgotten. Take doz-
en- of the ripest, plumpest grained
corn. Shell and put into a kettle,
with more water than is required
to cover it. Then sew up a stout
muslin sack which will hold a
quart, fill it with clean, stong wood
ashes, and put it in the middle of
the corn in the kettle. Boil it
gently until the outside hull comes
off the grains of corn. Then drain
off the water, take out the sack,
and turn the corn in a tub of cold
water, and thoroughly wash off the
hulls. This can be done as our
hard working mothers used to do
by the hand, or it can be done by
taking a broom and washing the
corn violently with it. Keep
changing the water until the bulls
and most of the I've is washed out.
Then drain the corn thoroughly,
and put to boil in cold water, and
cook it until done, at which time
the grains will open and are soft.
Do not stir the corn unless you set
the kettle in another kettle of boil
ing water, for it will burn if stirred
and the grains are mashed and set
tie TO the bottom. Of couse it
should be sailed as it cooks
When prepared in this way it is
good (or used to Beg warmed up in
meat gravy. In this condition in
old times it was good enough to sit
up all night to eat. Do any of our
farmers wives have it now? If
they do, invite us.-Iowa State

Carp Ponds,

A southern farmer who has been
raising carp in ponds supplied with
surface water makes the following
suggestions about constructing
ponds: A dam is thrown across
the lower end of hollow; the dams
are made of soil or earth; this is the
best material to make a dam of,and
is also the cheapest The sides of
the dam should have a slope of at
least 45 degrees. l do not use any
stone or wood Except on overflow
or drain) on this kind of pond.
try to have no stones or pieces of
wood lying around near the ponds,
for these are only places of shelter
for some of the enemies to the fish,
and an inducement for snakes,
crawfish, etc, to harbor near the
ponds. The deepest part of the
pond should be at least eight feet;
then it should run out shallow on
the sides all around, or as much so
as possible. 1t is better to have
the shallow places in the pond on
the north and west sides; here the
sun will strike the water early in !
the day, and if shallow will warm
it up quicker. The carp will al
ways be found in the part of the
pond where it is the warmest; here
they find most of their nourish-
ment, and it is in the warm shallow
places where most nourishment is
such insects, etc. To
ward the cool part of the day and
evening, the carp retire to the deep
er parts of the pond (Which is)then
the warmest, and so do the insects

will leave air-holes in the ice, and

Mercantile Maxims.

The way to get credit is to be
punctual. The way to preserve it
is not to use it too much. Settle
often; have short accounts. Trust
to no mans appearance-it is de-
ceptive-perhaps assumed for the
purpose of obtaining credit. Be-
ware of gaudy exterior. Rogues
usually dress well. The rich are
plain men. Trust him, if any one,
who carries but little on his back.
Never trust him who flies into pas
sion on being dunned; make him
pay quickly, if there be any virtue
in the law. Be satisfied, before you
give credit, that those you give it

Success in life does not depend up
on the starting point. As in swim

wades in or jumps in, whether he
starts from a rock, bank of sand,

Sweet cider can be kept sweet
and sparkling by heating it not
quite to boiling, and skimming of
any impurities that may rise to the
surface, then bringing it to boiling
for a moment, and afterwards let
ting it cool. When cooled so that a
finger may be dipped into it with
out being panied, put the cider in
perfectly cleaned bottles or barrels,
close the vessels thoroughly and
store it away in a cool cellar. We
have known it to keep for four years
in this way.-Journal of Agricul.

Lice on Live Stock.

A writer says that to destroy lice
on live stock he has found nothing
better than strong carbolic soap
suds. The soap usually sold under
the name is not strong enough for
the purpose. 1t may be easily pre-
pared and at any degree of strength
that may be required. Get pound
Of carbolic acid crystals, which may
be had at any wholesale druggists.
l get them IL Boston at a cost of
sixty cents per pound. Take ten
pounds of common bar soap, put in
a pan with little water and heat
until dissolved. Take out the cork
from the bottle containing the acid,
and set it in hot water, which will
cause the acid to become fluid, add
this to the soap and stir well. Set
away to cool and you will have a
soap at small cost which will be
strong enough to kill any vermin
which infest domestic animals, and
which will cure barn itch and any
cutaneous diseases to which they
are liable. 1t is good to cleanse and
heal sores, and a wash of it will be
found good where animals are hide
bound and the skin out of condi-
ton; it will be found good to wash
the inside of poultry houses to rem
der them sweet, and kill and prevent
vermin. 1t is cheap, safe and
sure remedy, and should find place
in all well regulated premises.

Escutcheon, or milk mirror, are
names used to describe the up or
outward turned hair on, at sides of
and above the udders of cows.
Standing behind some COWS one
will notice broad band of hair
differing in appearance, perhaps in
color, from that at either side, ex-
tending from the .udder to the vul
va; in other COWS this band will be
narrow or short. On closer exami-
nation will be found that on some
COWS, the hair on part of the thigh
lies in a different direction from
that surrounding this part, often
ending in a little curl. Similar
curls are sometimes found on the
back of the udder. Many years
ago Guenon, a French peasant,
claimed to have discovered there
was connection between this up
growing hair and the milking ca
pacity of cows-both in quantity
and length of flow of milk. He
caefully elaborated a system by
which he judged COWS, and gained
reputation and a national grant of
money for success in this work.
Guenon's system was a compli
Gated one. 1t has been some what
simplifed, but is still formidable
enough to the inexperienced, with
it's olders, classes, etc. In general
terms it may be said the greater
the extent of the up-turned or out
ward-growingi hair, the better the
cow is believed to be. The broad
ness or height of the band above
the udder is thought of less impor-
lance than the part on the udder and
extending on thighs.
A similar but smaller formation
is found in front of the udder; and
the escutcheon is also found on the
bull and much Importance is at
tached to it here.
There is much difference Of opin-
ion as to the value of the escutch-
con in determining dairy qualities.
The natural impulse is to declare
there is. and can be, no connection
between it and milking. On the
other hand. many experienced dai-
rymen and cattle breeders have i'm
plicit faith in its value. Perhaps
most take the view that it is sim
ply one of many helps in deciding
the value of a cow. The most
plausible explanation given is that,
like the milk veins, this peculiar
turning of the hair is affected by
the greater or less quantity of blood
carried to the region of the udder.
