NEATNESS ON THE FARM.
Intelligent observers have generally I

Intelligent observers have generally noted
the fact that in every rural neighborhood
the prosperous farmers are almost invaria-
bly, 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
appearances. But this is evidently not the
full explanation of this coincidence of facts.
Men who make money, especially in farm
for show. It may be safely put down as a
general rule that work performed by most
thrifty farmers is in the direction of profit !;
hence, as neatness commonly goes with
thrift, it is quite as like to be one of its
causes as one of it's effects. There are ex-
ceptions to this rule as to all others. Some
farmers accumulate money still more rapid
ly. not by increasing their income, but by a
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 accomplish
these objects it is not difficult to prove that
neatness is essential. ..-.. 8
There are many reasons why habits OF
neatness in farming lead to success. Such
habits are none too 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 ne
cessity can only be poorly paid. The TAR
mer who grows his crops among weeds can
never sell his grain at the highest market
price, while the extra care needed to secure
absolute purity is sure to be proportionate9,,
ly we'll paid. Farmers understand this we'll
enough, as is shown by their periodic en-
deavOrS to secure pure seed for sowing and
planting. If we go to almost any market
we will find that the bulk of crops are more
or less mixed, and therefore unstable for
seed and undesirable for any purpose. AL
most every spring there is an active demand
for seed barley, free from oats or other va
rieties of barley, and not infrequently far
mers buy from seed stores, paying from two
to four times the price at which they sold
their grain the fall previous. In almost
any neighborhood farmer who will grow
pure seed of the various grains will lind a
demand for his entire stock at prices enough
better than market rates to assure him a
profit. When we are told that farming is
not profitable, the implication is that refer
ence is made to the common SlOvenly meth
cd. The fancy kinds Of farming, such as
growing seeds and garden vegetables, near
~ always pays those who intelligently con-
duct them. Yet seed growing and garden
ing are really as true farming as growing
hay or making butter and cheese. They
are only better paid because they cannot be
conducted without close attention to details,
and it is in this that neatness consists

BENEFIT OF APPLYING SALT TO LAND.
Mr.. Thompson, veterinary surgeon of Eng
land, has paid great attention to this during
the past thirteen years, having watched the
effect of something like 5000 tons of salt ap-
piled to land. He found on pasture that it
had the power Of preventing such diseases
red water, fluke, louping ill or scours in
calves, etc. Sheep brought down from the
hills to winter in pasture bordering Oh the
ocean were much more healthy than when
kept on inland pastures. Salt destroys
snails, small mollusca and other minute an
imals, at the same time it so greatly i'm
proves the herbage that stock will forsake
fresh pasture which is alongside of salted,
when able to get on it. In a discussion Of
thissubject by others present at the meeting,
they contended that although salt was very
beneficial, it did not always prevent the
above diseases.-Rural Ne,0 Yorker.

WHAT AN EGG WILL Do.-For burns
and scalds nothing is more soothing than
the white of an egg, which may be poured
over the wound. 1t is softer as a varnish
for burn than collodion, and being always
at hand can be applied Immediately. 1t is
also more cooling than the sweet oil and
cotton which was formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay the smarting
pain. 1t is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort experienced
from the ordinary accident of this kind,
and anything that excludes the air and
prevents inflammation is the thing to be
at once applied.
The egg is considered one Of the best of
remedies for dysentery. Beaten up slight
ly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at
gulp, it tends, by its emollient qualities,
to lessen the inflammation of the stomach
and intestines, and, by forming transient
coating on these organs, to enable nature to
resume her healthful sway over a diseased
body. Two, or at most three eggs per day
would be all that is required in ordinary
cases; and since egg is not merely medicine
but food as well, the lighter the diet other
wise and the quieter the patient is kept
the more certain and rapid is the recovery.

CLEARING THE GARDEN OF WEEDS
Our gardens are pest beds of weeds, and
they need a years falloW and working to
clean them. This thoroughly fines the
ground and favors the thorough incorpora-
ton of manure, securing thus clean soil
with an increase of growth and full yield,
which cannot possibly be had where weeds
are striving for the mastery, to say nothing
of the labor required to subdue them, which
is whole seasons work, the same work to
be repeated each year. 1t does not require
much manure, the working of the soil favor
ing enrichment.
This does not necessarily deprive the far
mer of a garden. Let him select another
piece of ground and put it in order, which
is readily done by simply plowing and fin
ing the soil and applying what manure is
needed. Sod may be treated successfully by
blowing it as deep as it will allow in clay
soil, and if followed by the subsoil plow all
the better, providing the subsoil breaks up
mellow. In sandy or alluvial soil deep
blowing is all that is required for working
and pulverizing the soil when rotted. This
must be done the fall previous, and finished
with coat of manure, to be ready to work
up nicely in the spring. If the manure is
clean there will be comparatively little trou-
BILE from weeds, as a new plat is usually
freer from the pest and gives better satisfac-
tion than the old, the produce growing more
healthfully and thriftily, and leaving the
ground in excellent condition to grow other
crOps.-F. @. IN Country Gentleman.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE WAs.-Ar
Arkansas man had located in Texas on few
rich acres, and after year or two of indif
ferent effort at farming, got discouraged
packed his household goods in wagon, and
started back to Arkansas. His dilapidated
team, consisting of a Mexican pony and 8
Texas steer hitched together, were pulling
the load leisurely along the road, when he
met neighbor, who saluted him.
"Helloa, Clayton! Which way?"
81 am going back to Arkansas"
"What for"
'Oh, l am tired and discouraged. l cant
raise any crops here; the country ain't
worth cuss for farming" 1t is altogether
too hot"
"Well, Clayton, this man appears to have
mighty fine crops,'' said the neighbour
pointing to neat house, and the clean,
tidy-looking acres surrounding it, that
were carrying fine stand of different kinds
of small grain.
eyes, that is so," said the Arkansas
traveller; "but, d-n it, Perkins, the man
is Dutchman."

THE PULSE OF ANIMALs.-In horses the
pulse, at rest, beats forty times, in an OK
from fifty to fifty-fve, and in sheep and pigs
about seventy to eighty beats per minute.
1t may be felt wherever large artery cross
es bone, for instance. 1t is generally, ex-
amined in the horse on the, cord which
crosses over the bone of the lower jaw in
front of its curved position, or in the bony
ridge over the eye; and in cattle over the
middle of the first rib, and in sheep by pla-
cling the hand on the left side, where the
beating of the heart may be felt. Any ma
terial variation of the pulse from the figures
given above may be considered sign Of dis
ease. If rapid, hard, and full, tbs all indi-
cation of high fever or Inflammation; if
rapid, small and weak, low fever, loss of
blood, or weakness. If slow, the probabili-
ties point to brain disease, and if irregular,
to heart troubles. This is one of the princi-
pal and sure tests of the health of an animal.
