NeatneSs on the Farm.

Intelligent observers have generally
noted the fact that in every rural neigh
borhood the prosperous farmers are al
most invariably those who keep their
buildings painted, fences in good repair
and their fields free from stone, weeds
and rubbish. Of course it may be said
that men who have plenty of money can
afford to spend it for keeping up ap,
pearanceS But this is evidently not the
full explanation of this coincidence OF
facts. Men who make money, especial
ly in farming, are least inclined to pay
it out merely for show. Itmay be safe,
ly put down as a general rule that the
work performed by most thrifty farmers
is in the direction of profit; hence, as
neatness commonly goes with thrift, it
is quite as likely to be one of its causes
as one of its effects. There are excep-
tions to this rule, as to all others. Some
farmers accumulate money still moro
rapidly, not by increasing their income,
but by system of grinding parsimony,
by robbing themselves and cheating
their families to put dollars in their
purse. These are not examples to be
initiated. The aim of most reasonable
men is not only to make money, but in
the meantime to live in a reasonable
and comfortable manner. To accom-
plish these objects it is not difficult to
prove that neatness is essential.
There are many reasons why habits
of neatness in farming lead to success.
Such habits are none to common, and in
every business the men who do their
work in the most thorough manner get
the best pay. The world is full of poor
work; that of necessity can only he poor
ly paid. The farmer who grows his
crops among weeds can never sell his
grain at the highest market price, while
the extra care needed to secure abso-
lutte purity is sure to be proportionately
well paid. Farmers understand this
well enough, as is shown by their peri
odic endeavors to secure pure seed for
sowing and planting. If we go to al
most any market we will find that the
bulk of crops are more or less mixed,
and therefore unstable for seed and un-
desirable for any purpose. Almost every
spring there is an active demand for
seed barley, free from oats or other
varieties of barley, and not infrequently
farmers buy from seed stores, paying
from two to four times the price at
which they sold their grain the fall pre-
vious. In almost any neighborhood
farmer who will grow pure seed of the
various grains will find demand for
his entire stock at prices enough better
than market rates to assure him profit.
When we are told that farming is not
profitable, the implication is that refer
ence is made to the common slovenlY
method. The fancy kinds of farming,
such as growing seeds and garden veg
etables, nearly always pays those who
intelligently conduct them. Yet seed
growing and gardening are really as
true farming as growing hay or making
butter and cheese. They are only bet
ter paid because they can not be con-
Quoted without close attention to details,
and it is in this that neatness consists.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Eggs placed with the large end
downward will keep much longer, it is
said, than in any other position.
1t is stated that Northern farmers
will have TO compete with very heavy
crop of early Southern potatoes this
year, the high prices of last season hav-
ing induced unusually large planting.
"A good guide for feeding grain to
cattle is one pound to each hundred OF
their weight. Most animals eat in pro-
portion to their weight. and an animal
weighing one thousand pounds may re-
ceive ten pounds of grain per day
Western Agriculturist.
Stuffed Potatoes: After the potatoes
are well washed bake them until soft.
Cut piece from the top of each pota-
to, aud scoop out the soft pulp with a
spoon, taking care not to break the
skins. Mash the pulp well through a
colander, season with salt, and mash
with it plenty of butter. Return the
mixture to the cases, and brown the
tips with salmander or red-hot shovel.
Boston TrnScript.
DR. Hanamann warns farmers
against the practice of removing straw
from land, as it tends to render the soil
poor. Not only are potash, lime, phos-
phoric acid, etc, taken away, but also
considerable amount of organic
matter, whereby the moisture is too
much reduced. Care must be observed
in restoring to the soil what it has been
deprived of, or sterility will be the ulti-
mate result.-N y Herald.
An exchange suggests that a good
plan in sowing small seeds like begonia,
ferns and orchids, is to use very soft
brick dug out enough to hold say one
quarter of an inch of soil. Place the
brick in a pan of water. The brick
draws moisture enough to keep the soil
in a nice condition. Such fine seeds
may also be sown on top of a shallow
brick set in pan of water. They will
be almost sure to grow, the only care
required being to see that the water is
always kept in the pan.
Mr.. David Smith makes his bulls do
the work of team; gives them plenty
TO do hauling manure and other heavy
drawing. To enable them to stand the
heat better, when working before the
plow and harrow, he has had them
clipped, horse-fashion. This novel idea
is a good one. as it will prevent them
from getting so hot on warm days,
which is the greatest objection to work
ing oxen. They will move about quick
er, and thus accomplish more, when
shorn of their old coats.-N. Y. Tribune.

An Absurd Statement.

It is reported that the Postmaster-G eneral

class of newspapers known as patent out

such papers are not self-sustaining, and in ac-
cordance has about decided to exclude all
such from the mails as second-class matter.
There are about 900 such publications issued
in this country and If the ruling goes into eff

manning 1000 of the better class of 'co-opera-

papers; so, in the end, the press, advertisers
and the public would be greatly benefited"
The foregoing item, which has ap-
peared in a country paper published at
Sidney, o., is another evidence of the
vindictiveness of some publishers where
the cooperative papers affect their re-
eeipts for advertising and subscription.
Sec. of the Postal Law, approved June
23, 1874, says: "That newspapers, one
copy to each actual subscriber, residing
within the county where the same are
printed, in whole or in part, and pub

the same shall not be delivered at letter.

that the Postmaster-General's rulings

The Vigilantes.

Four well-known citizens organized
themselves into Vigilance Committee
for the purpose of arresting some burg
lars that had committed a number of
depredations in the vicinity of their res
licences. They met together and swore
themselves on skull and three Bibles.
They got up their passwords, signs and
grips, so that each would recognize the
other in the dark under any circum-
stances. They armed themselves with
revolvers, slung shots, Bowie knives,
brass knuckles and bulls-eye lanterns.
The thing worked well, as they were
near neighbors, and they talked the
thing over every night for month.
One dark night last week one of the
number heard noise ON the front win
| dow.
He hastily jumped into his clothing,
and ran out of his rear door, jumped
over the fence and raped three times
on the basement window of another
members house. Just then he heard
some one say:
"Sick him, Tige," and fearing he had
been taken for burglar, made break
for the fence, but not any too soon, as
| Tige had been ON the alert, and sue
ceeded in getting mouthful of panta-
looms.
Over the fence went the vigilante and
soon appeared at the door of another
members house. Here he scratched
softly, three times, and hearing a noise
of a clicking revolver, again flew the
vigilante, over fences, barns, ETC.,
through alleys, until he reached his own
10 l,o
sneaked along up the steps, and had
commenced to try the windows and door
to see if the burglars had been success
| full, when three bulldogs darted out
and attacked him from all sides. Bang!
bang! bang! went some pistols from
neighboring windows. The thing was
getting hot. The dogs chawed him all
over, and soon would have finished the
vigilante, but one dog got the other dog
by the leg, by mistake, and they got up
a fight between themselves, during
which time the vigilante succeeded in
getting into the house, badly used-up
man.
1t afterwards transpired, that when
he scratched on the back doors of the
other members houses, each thought it
was burglars. They slid out the front
doors, and went for the others, and
when they saw the first member prowl-
ing around, examining his own windows,
they let out their dogs with the above
result. The committee disbanded the
next day.-CarL PretzePs Weekly.
