Stage Fright.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston transcript
Reading some article upon "stage
fright" and its awful realities, two curl
GUS stories came INTO mind that had
formerly been related to me- During
the Harrison campaign, at great pc.
litical meeting at Taneuil Hall, man
from Tennessee by the name OF Pear
pronounced Pare had expressed a de
sire to speak. Accordingly in due time
he was called upon Graciously rising,
and with apparent leagerness, he came
forward; holding Up one finger to his
audience, he began ihus:
"I-Pear-"
The assembled multitude patiently
waited through ling pause for more
but this was all Pear had sat down. II
Pear had said nothing to the purpose, he
had said sufficient tomake himself keen
" remembered by every one who heard
him, and had in thes. brief remarks con-
WINGED his hearers tlAt he was something
of an egotlst.
Another case is that of gentleman
of one of our large New-England towns.
Being much interested in phrenology
he proposed to givea lecture upon the
subject. The time. was announced, a
large audience assembled, and the
lecturer duly Appealed. Upon a table
was placed cast of head. Approach
ing this, and laying his hands affec-
tionatelv npon it, he began: Ladies
and gentlemen-T hishead" long,
long pause. Fixedly'but mlnutely hs
looked at his audience so many heads( ]
overcame him. Heretred and sat down,
while the people quietly and rather
solemnly dispersed. We need hardly
narrate that the genthman left town
that evening, and wal seen no more
there for an indefinite period.

stomachs Differ.

Two head of cattle of the same age
standing side by side may eat alike, but
it does not follow that they digest alike.
The difference in this respect should be
carefully noticed, and the animals be
fed accordingly each getting more or
less than the other according to It's
ability to digest its food. The differ
ence in digestion may be detected by
the condition of the excrement as well
as by the general appearance Of the ami
NAL. A looseness of the bowels indi-
Gates too much food, although it may
exist from other causes. Cold horns
and a light skin show that the animal
does not get food enough or has poor
digestion, which makes a feeble eircula-
ton of the blood, of which no doubt
there is seanty supply. Such an ami
NAL must have variety OF food and be

Farm Management.

No fixed rules can be Land down for
the management offarms. The soil of
one township may be best fitted for
growing some kinds OF grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most profitably
devoted to live stock. No two farms
situated side by side are exactly alike.
The distance from market, the demand
for special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining the sys-
tenn of farm management that it is best
to adopt. Those who have given the
most thought to this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system to
be applied to every farm. 1t is like a
garment that is intended to fit all per-
sons and suit none. Every year of
progress made in agricultural knowledge
teaches more forcibly than previous
ones the truth that farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Even in so seem
'ingly trifing matter as the pruning OF
grape vine, the wisest vineyardist can
only give general rules, and each grape
grower must adapt them to tho peculiar
tiles of each vine. Farmer and Dairy

provement in the celery offered in our
York markets since the publication of
my articles on the cultivation of celery
two years ago. Such specimens as were
exhibited by few persons only at fairs,
are now commc and excite no comment.
Celery should be sown as early In the
season as the ground can be worked.
If snow and freezing weather follow, it
will do no harm. Dig, break up, and
pulverize the soil thoroughly, add a
light dressing of SCOT, smooth the
surface evenly, and scatter the seed
thinly; giving plenty of room to make
good stock plants. Do not cover the
seed with earth, but press lightly into
the soil with board. Never allow the
soil to become dry after sowing, but
keepit moist by frequent waterings. If
there should be heavy winds, it is best
tie protect with light covering. If the
seed is slow to start do not be dis
couraged, but continue the waterings.

A Western Burial correspondent thinks
it easily possible so TO treat the boys as
to lead them to like the farm life and
suggests the following process:
''Give boy calf, colt, chickens OF
other stock, and have him understand
that whatever he makes by faithful at
tendance shall be his own. If he is
careless or Indifferent let him suffer the
loss, hut take pains to show him what
he might have made had he been more
faithful and dilligent. A boy who will
take care of litter of pigs, feeding and
watering regularly and caring for III
every way, if he is told that when they
are first placed in his keeping that one
of them shall be his own for his work
lie Will take the greatest interest in the
task.
1.-The field, the garden, the orchard
and the culture of small fruits, afford
ample variety for differences of DISPOSE
ton. And, by the way it is well that il
nearly every farmers family these differ
ences are found since the various inter
ests to be looked after in well regulated
rural homes need on this account theil
several specialists. But whatever the
inclination of boy may be he should
be fairly and honestly dealt with, ant
taught to see and realize it in his owl
experience, that there is profit in vel
managed farm work.
Treated in this way he is instructed
and practised in actual business, ant
surely this is no small advantage. Be
sides, he is made to feel that he has al
interest in the farm and the home
other than that of mere obligation t.
stay there. He becomes conscious of thu
honor which attaches to business ant
ownership. As he grows older he is lee
to find in the occupation of the farme
ample scope for the display of the best
executive or%business q Ialities, and h
will scarcely fail to see the superior adj
vantages and pleasures of peaceful
country life. "
There is nothing novel in this plan
| but its educational influence in the RICH
| direction can scarcely be overestimated
