Farmers, Get Scales.

We complain that the profits of farming
have become very small. The truth OF the
matter is, that circumstances have put farm
ing upon basis of business principles, and
the farmer who is business man makes
money; the one who is not makes none The
farmer without scales is hardly business
man. To obtain the highest profits from
his bushes the farmer must use his brains
more than he did thirty years ago. Land is
higher ard competition is sharper The
best farmer ought to know just what each
crop, each field and each animal has put in
or taken out Of his pocket. If he knows
this, he can know what crops are most prof
liable upon his farm, what crop is most
profitable upon each particular field, and
what class, breed and age Of animals are
most profitable, and this knowledge can be
obtained by using scales.

Fattening Hogs.

Corn is the staple food for fattening hog,
in this country, but il does not ripen early
enough to get the best use of it while the
weather is warm. Two bushels Of old corn
now will be worth in feeding fully as much
as five bushels Of new corn in December or
January. If the farmer has no old corn, he
should on no account delay fa,tening Feed
ing literally with fallen apples, boiled pota-
toes or pumpkins and other refuse will make
a little meal go far toward fitting hogs for
the butcher.

Carrots for Horses.

A French agricultural journal speaks as
follows of feeding carrots 10 horses: Car
rots are excellent when employed as a tome
for old horses in order to purify and
strengthen the blood but their use is dan

VENTILATION IN STABLEs.-In the effort
to keep stables for horses dark, especially
those underground, Ventilation is often neg
lected. The large amount of ammonia Civ
en- of from horse urine when fermenting is
very injurious to the eyes. More horses 20
blind from this cause than from any other.
The escape of ammonia may and should be
prevented by free use of absorbents, but
this will not obviate the need Of ventilation
so as to keep horses in good health in every
respect.

The New Blue and Gray.


BY THE POsT-DISPATCII POET.
Kneel at the graves OF the heroes,
Perfume the beds of the dead,
And sweet rs the voices OF angels
Be the prayers DER their ashes said.
Think Of the crimsoned glory
They left on each desperate field,
His own fair life did Yield.
Think of the Redeemed vict,ries
That haIlow this mem'ried day.
Let your eyes, rich dew wet the graves
of the blue
And water the graves of the gray.
Fill the air with the voice OF exulting.
Crowd the stars with your hymn-songs OF
praisei
For, though dark are the dreams this day
brings us,
Yet brightest it is OF all DAYS.
No fiow'rs are too sweet and no laurel too
For the martyrs that lie meath this sod,
But for heavens sake strew not their graves
with sardines
Or the remnants of stale smelling cod.
Drink beer ii you will at their bedside,
And puff your Hayanas away,
But fling no old bottles above the blue
No cigar stumps above the gray.
1t is sacred the ground where they slumber;-
And their sleep should be marred by no
'sscrappings,o
Nor by whisky soaked reveler's screams.
The skeletons grim of wrecked luncheons
Nor the gurgling of beery rills
Should be seen or heard, as In days gone by,
Above these sainted hills.
Make picnic joy of duty,
Make your steamboat excursion pay,
But murder no comrade above the blue
Punch no nose above the gray.
And while you garland the heroed dead
Think Of those who're left behind
The heroed living still skirmishing round
New victory fields to find.
They're breasting the battle in Wall street
Or cruising round Michigan Lake,
And the first political chance they get
YOU bet your life they'll take.
Substance and not glory
Is sought by these heroes to-day.
They're looking for Office In faded blue,
Ditto in tattered gray.

of them, the poor widow gave all he
income for that day: that is, she econ-
omized SO that she lived seven days on
the income of six; and that az she only
gave two mites she could only give to
two funds. And, farther, that as right
eousness consists in doing that which
God commands. because God conn
mands it, her action won the Savior's
commendation because she gave will
lingly, literally according to her means,
and only to those objects that God had
appointed, and because He had ap-
pointed them; and the conclusion Was
that out OF the thirteen objects God
had appointed two only as objects of
benevolence. And that the example
of the poor widow could only be plead
in behalf Of the objects to which she
contributed, and that all others were
ruled out. This led to great many
questions by the class, and at the close
of the school, the teacher having
learned my name, introduced me to
every member of the class, and sub
sequently to the pastor, who invited
me to take part in the exercises of q
young mems meeting in the evening.
I heard two sermons, neither one
preached by the pastor. There was no
Savior in either of them.
The spirit of extravaganza has grown
terribly in all the departments of life.
st. Louis is running the usual course
of great cities in such cases. Indus
try and economy have gather ed wealth.
It has produced luxury. It has hegot-
ten licentiousness, and that has led
and will lead, to punishment. And
yet, with all these facts in sight, ST.
Louis is socially and economically bet
ter than it was thirty-six years ago.
The railroads have, to some extent,
supplanted the steam boats, but have
brought in class of men much better
than their amphIbious predecessors.
The common-school system is better,
and is better administered. The city
is better lighted, and in its numerous
parks, grandly beautiful, it has a glori-
Gus gospel Of the grace of God in green
grass, wide spreading, shady trees, ex-
panses of clear water, flowers, glorious,
free air, and the songs of birds; and,
surrounded by all these. the weary
soul of man has SAVIOR of rest. In
the matter of intemperance, whilst it
has enlarged itself fearfully, it has not
kept pace with the growth of the city.
The question of fintemperance is better
understood now than it was thirty six
years ago. There is less disposition
now to run after every one that cries.
Lo here, or, Lo there!! and least of all

Each man must feel now that the
