Money st seven per cent. will double
in ten years if the interest is kept in
vested. II the farmer carries mort.
gage Of say q, 900 for thirty years, IL
will cost him ct seven per cent. about
e35. 600 for the use of the 81, 700. This
enormous figure obtained by the COM
putting Of interest ct seven per cent. ON
the amounts paid, is no more than o fair
estimation Of the cost Of such mort
gage, for the farmer can always doubt.
less invest his money in something
which will yield him seven per cent.
Therefore:-1. Do not mortgage the
farm unless il seems absolutely neces-
sary. But. rs . general rule, It is less
valuable than . particular one. it may
be we'll to specify by adding: 2. Do
not mortgage to build . fine house. By
SO doing You will have to pay money
for IN investigation which does not
bring money. 8. Do not mort
gage the farm to buy more land.
Where there is absolute certainty
that moro can be made out Of
the land than the cost of the
mortgage, this rule might not apply.
But absolute certainty is very rare, mis-
taken calculation common. 4. Do
not mortgage the farm unless you are
sure Of the continued fertility Of the
soil. Many persons borrow with tho
expectation Of payment based on an ex-
perience Of the lands virginity only,
which on failing, may leave the land
less productive, and the means Of re-
payment thus removed. In this way
trouble begins which may result in the
loss Of the farm. Keep very clear of
mortgages.

xhs 1ind Of Husband 10 10 Hest Admired.
If You cannot find q gentleman to
marry, girls, do not marry at all. By
that term I do not mean man who is
above need of work-he may be any
thing but gentleman-but man who
knows how to work, who has self-re.
spect enough to keep him from low
haunts, both of speech and action. who
is courteous and honorable, who is not
afraid Of soiling his hands. The farmer,
the blacksmith, the carpenter, any man
may be gentleman under dust, and
SCOT, aud chips; but il he is not,
do not marry him. There is enough
trouble in life without increasing
it in any way. Do not subject your.
self to the modification that would be
sure to come with . husband who would
continually cause you to blush for his
coarseness and roughness, for his slip
perry dealings, or for his hypocritical
polish. II Is not sufficient that man
looks and dresses well, but he must act
and live we'll besides. Choose sober,
honest, virtuous, industrious man, who
Is faithful to hls religious duties, and
You will have for . husband gen.
tleman Of the best kind, one who will
do right by you in sunshine and shade,
in sickness or health until death parts
you.

lihment Of this kind a oak Grove, on
the Little Blue, In What i now Muck
oils county. On the day Of the fearful In.
dian massacre. In August, 1854, Laura
was going from Spring ranch TO Oak
Grove by stage. The Indians on that
day made . general attack on che
whit.s al along tho travelled road, from
Julesburg clear east to the Big Sandy,
nearly two hundred miles, bands Of sav.
ages springing ON the little settlements
simultaneously. The stage in which Lau.

and the driver and other passengers
killed, tho girl being carried Oh prison

the indians decoyed her lover into Q

years after the massacre the girls were
found living with the Indians ON the
Arkansas river, in southern Colorado,
and in March, 1885, they were secured
BY the United States troops. They had
been brutally outraged by the Indians,
and suffered every indignity that could
be imagined. Miss Thanks was glib

the soldiers 80 that, despite the fact that
they were treating with the Indians un-

devil that had driven the girl crazy snd
killed him on the spot, Laura Roper

peace and happiness, during which five
children were born to her, Laura

A correspondent Of The London Gar
deners' Chronicle reports noteworthy
return from use Of Ammonia a. Fer
tilizer. He purchased from chemist
but will hereafter try agricultural ann
monia, which ID much cheaper:
II put four chrysanthemum plants by
themselves and gave them teaspoon
full Of ammonia in . gallon of water
twice week. In . fortnight the re-
suit was most ptriking, for though I
watered the others with liquid cow
manure they look lean when compared
with the ammonia.watered plants,
whose leaves turned to very dark
green, which they carried to the edge
Of the pots until the flowers were out.
As / matter Of course the flowers were
splendid. I also tried it on strswber-
ries, with the same satisfactory result,
the crop being nearly double that Of
the others"

The alter ol oongua( affection. !,
On teeohing EAstbo0rns they wsra
me- By their wives IN The carriage, and
MI. Battledore, at an events, felt by NO
means grateful for this little attention.
However, hs and Sam te,ok their seets
opposite the ladies. trying their best "a
look - II they had nothing on their
minds, and above oil no guilty secret.
But before Mr.. Bsttledore had time IA
recover hts self possession, his wife said
Joseph, you remember my speaking
to you about letter ] wrote 70 you last
weekfS
"Ye-yes.s said Mr.. Battledore, win.
cling ct . nudge from Sam.
We'll, I never sentit, after ALI On
y this morning I discovered it among
the leaves Of my plotting book. I for
got to post It."
ut is Of no consequence Of course,
chimed In Mrs. Newell; "only you will
be the loser, Sam, Mrs. Battledore wrote
to her husband to buy you new cigar
case on my behalf, and TO have your in.
itials engraved upon it. Tomorrow,
you know, is your birthday"
Mr.. Battledore was by no means reas.
sured by these speeches. On the con.
trAry, he realized that he was in . worse
fix than ever, since he would now be
called upon to explain what he meant
by saying he had received the letter. A
sort Of sickly feeling came over him ~
his wife said:
by the way, Joseph, you said you
had received the letter, and talked ~
though you knew all about il"
"And you, Sam. said Mr.. Battledore
had mentioned the subject to you;
and was vexed at the time, IS Of
course it was secret, [" interposed Mrs.
Newell.
1.-THE fact u.s." said Sam, coming gal.
lantly to the rescue, for Mr.. Battledore
was at q loss to find words, IDS joe
said to me afterwards, we have been at
cross purposes. We each had . secret,
and we thought you had discovered
ours. Joe let out that blue was the
color he had chosen. When I tried to
find out how the land lay from my wife,

This question is asked BY tho SWINE
Breeders Journal, and IL proceeds to
discuss the matter. II says: "The
above question is often asked and then
answered by referring to some person
who has sold q lot Of heavy hogs at the
very highest market price. just as
though It cost no more to raise 400 or
500 pound hog than it does to raise one
weighing 200, when at the same time it
is well-established fact that il costs
nearly if not quite double per pound,
to raise q hog weighing 500 than
it does to raise one that only
weighs 200 pounds. Now, it takes very

even that gain, and at that rate il takes
fifty bushels of corn to make 500 pounds

pork at 6 cents per pound would be
worth $50; here then you have % Tor
