Rich Ounces and Poor Scholars

There is one thing worse than Igno-
rance: 1t is to despise knowledge
Ignorance may lie Il misfortune, but
the man who reviles the knowledge he
does not possess shows an ignoble ma
ture.
An article is going the rounds Of
the newspapers, entitled Results of
Education,' the object Of which is to
show how much better it is to be a
rich ignoramus than poor scholar.
The author selects cases to prove his
point. A rich cattle king, who had IA
years schooling, and who still thinks
William the Conquerer and William
the fourth were one and the same per-
son, is worth two millions, and has
three clerks in his employment who
were college graduates.
Another man, whose doting parents
scrimped and saved to send him to col
lege, and who graduated with honors.
is now forty years of age, and makes
school books for rich publisher for
fifteen dollars week.
Imagine long string of such ex-
tmples, given to show that he who
would thrive in this world must aban-
Ion his school, throw aside his books
md go into the street to struggle for
| pennies. Every statement in this ar
| ticle may be true, and yet the article
itself be fasehood, for nothing lies
| with such force as truth. That is,
truth perverted and misused, can be
made to convey an impression com
pletely erroneous.
Now, there actually was a college
graduate employed by publisher of
school books at salary something like
that named above. That is trut1.-
But not the whole truth-for the rea-
son why the man worked in an infe-
rior position was not because he grad
mated from college but because his hab-
its were bad. He was an occasional
lrunkard. In his subordinate posi-
ton he was safer and better off than
| he had ever been when working for

Preparing for Spring in the Garden.

Preparing for Spring IN the Garden,
Wherever crop is taken off, it will
be great gain to manure and pillow
or spade the land, leaving it rough
during the winter. All such work as
making paths, laying drains, ETC., is
more advantageously done now than
when the press of spring work is al
hand. If new frames are needed, OF
straw mats or crates for marketing
produce, or garden labels are required
if implements are to be made, repair
ed or bought-whatever can be done
in the present months-will save much
valuable time in spring. Now, ana
all through the winter, add everything
to the manure pile that will decom-
pose and increase its bulk and value
Among the preparations for spring is
the pricking out into cold frames, the
cabbage, caulif1ower and lettuce plants
from seeds. 1t is important to sci the
plants of cabbage and cauliflower down
to the first leaf, so that the stem, the
portion most readily injured by frcez
ing, may be covered. The sashes
should not be put over the plants un-
til there is danger Of severe freezing
weather. Other frames should be
made ready for very early lettuce
The soil is to be spaded and enriched
and made ready for planting, and the
frames then filled up with leaves. Il
there are shutters at hand to cover
them, all the better. Earth is often
wanted for hot beds, seed boxes, etc.
at time when the ground is still fro
zen. Lay in a good supply of fine
rich soil, under a shed, or where il
can be had when needed.-Dr Thur.

The agricultural press has succeed
ed in establishing two facts in the
minds of farmers. These are, that
clover is the great restorer of wasted
fertility, and that grass is worth as
much as corn in the production of
pork. The first is cheap, within the
reach and means of all, and is the on
1y practical means of keeping the
farms in condition for producing pro-
ftable crops. The second has repeat
eddy proven that goood pasture for
hogs is not only saving of corn, but
that larger and healthier hogs can be
produced at less cost than can be
done by the old method of corn diet
the year through.

Improving Farm Homes and Grounds

The immediate surroundings of
farmers homes generally are far from
being as attractive in appearance as
they can be easily made. Indeed the
rural front yards are, as rule, much
less beautiful and interesting than
those of people in the same general
circumstances in towns and cities.
In the latter, lawns are we'll cared for,
aud choice ornamental trees, shrubs.
and flowers, are much oftener met
with than in country homes. There
is no valid reason for this. Such en-
bellishments are not more easily &C
quired in the city, but Just the reverse.
The farmer has teams, implements,
and manures for putting the house
grounds in the best condition for or
namental treatment; labor is quite as
cheap as in town, while sodding a
lawn costs far less in the country.
Trees and plants are as cheap to the
farmer as to any one, while in many
places some of the best kinds for or
nament can be had from the woods
for the digging.
There may he points in which life
on the farm lacks the attractions COM
mon to town life, but in charming
home grounds the farmer is certainly
to blame if the city dweller excels him.
1t is often wondered why country life
has not charms sufficient to hold the
boys to the farm, and that they grow
up longing for the city. If more at
tention were given to making their
home surroundings more cheerful and
attractive for the son and others of the
family, there would be less heard of
this trouble. And in all such work
every proper effort is sure to be Sec
onded by the wife; while nothing is
more natural than for the children to
be enthusiastic helpers in this work.
Such Improvements Of course require
some outlay, but this can hardly prove
otherwise than a good investment
Every dollar judiciously spent in this
way will soon be returned many fold
in the increased valuation of any
place, should it be desirable to sell. tc
say nothing of the greater happiness
and love of home that will thus be
inspired.
Now that long evenings are al
hand, this subject should receive due
consideration. Plans may be drawn
up for an improved arrangement o.
walks, drives flower beds, shrubbery
borders, and other matters. Every
detail of these can be decided, and en-
tered upon map, long before winter
is over, so that when spring opens the
work can 60 on intelligently and t.
the best advantage.-Elias A Long

Useful Hints.

To relieve hiccough at once. take a
lump of sugar saturated with vinegar.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. 1t will make
the pudding heavy. To clean them
wipe with dry towel.
Washing the hands twice a day
with Indian cornmeal, and rubbing on
a little glycerine at night, will keep
them soft and white.
A wet umbrella should be left with
the handle downwards to drain and
dry. 1t will last much longer when
cared for in this manner, as it will
dry quickly.
Never make bread with unboiled
milk, for the chances are that the
dough will become sour. One great
point in successful bread making, (be-
sides kneading welD is to beat the
sponge thoroughly.
To clean black cashmere, wash in
hot suds, with little borax in the
water; rinse in bluing water, very
blue, and iron while damp. 1t will
look almost equal to new.
To clean a tea or coffee pot that has
become discolored inside, put into it a
teaspoonful of saleratus and ill two.
thirds full of water, and let it boil
two hours. Wash and rinse we'll be.

Steel knives which are not in daily

the same patented but to which the
co-owner refused his consent, asked
tho General Land Office how to pro-
coed. He was advised "that there
seems to exist no good reason why you
may not institute proceedings fer a
patent IN the joint names of yourself
and co owner, either with or without
his consent. You may be able to en-
force contribution from such co-owner
for his proper proportion of the ex-
penses of patenting in the courts.
You cannot receive patent for an
undivided interest, and the office has
no authority to compel a oo-owner to
join in an application"
