NEW ENGLAND FARMERS.
Compelled to Practice Economy of the
Strictest Sort.

Compelled to Practice Economy of the
Strictest Sort.
Awestern man never knows the mean
ing of the word economy, in its strict
est sense, unless he has taken lessons
on a farm in New England
Here few acres is all the average
farmer will attemp to cultivate, and the
amount of labor and capital that annu-
ally must be expended on these is so
great that every possible source of in
come must be made available and
strained to its utmost in order to keep
the balance, at the close of the year,
from falling on the wrong side of the
account.
Nothing that has a penny in it is al
lowed to be wasted, even though it may
take full penny's worth of labor to get
it out.
West of the Mississippi River have
seen hundreds of cords of rich manure
hauled off and dumped, anywhere, SO
as to get it out of the way. Here this
fertilizing substance is regarded as the
very life and support of the farm. Barn
cellars are constructed and sheds are
built that it may be stored where it will
not 60 to waste; and large tanks are
made for holding and preserving the
liquid drippi1gs of the stable floors.
The droppings about the yard are
gathered up daily and thrown on the
pile under cover, and even house-slops
ARE thrown where they will help solve
the all-important problem of keeping
the farm from running down.
TIE owners of stables in the cities
;and villages find ready sales for ali the
manure they have at from five dollars
to six dollars per cord, and the measur-
ing is carefully attended to.
| am here reminded of a heated dis
,cussion recently overheard between
the buyer and seller of a pile of manure.
1t was to be measured in the cart, and
the purchaser claimed the right to get
up on the load and tread it down with
his feet twice while loading. The seller
commended that it was customary to
tread but once. They could not agree,
and it had to be left to a third party
when it was finally settled that the
threading process should be performed
but once on each load.
The soap man passes through the
county every week, buying wood ashes,
for which he pays about twenty cents
per bushel After he has extracted the
potash, through the process of leach
ing, he sells the ashes back to the
farmer, at about the same price per
.bushel as he paid. He also buys all the
bones that have been saved for him
after having done faithful service in the
line of soup-making. After he gets
through with these they pass on to the
manufacturer OF fertilizers.
Little boxes save the scraps of old
iron, pieces of old nails, screws, etc.
for the foundry. Bits OF rags and
newspapers are saved for the tin
peddler, with his Yankee notions. =

of fine bone with wagon load ofstable

been mixed is poured on the heap, it
will prevent loss of ammonia. Most

INJURIOUS HABITS.

Easier to Break Them OFF at Once Than
to Do So Gradually.
1t is easier to break off a bad habit
sud denly than gradually. The gradual
plan was tried at the inebriate asylums,
but it was found that the best thing to
do with an old topper was to cut off his
supply of drink at once For day or
two, or even three OF four days, he sui
fered much; but the vital powers, after
being relieved of the daily poison.
quickly rallied, and the man improved
in health every hour
1t is so with the tobacco slavery. An
interesting anecdote in point is told of
the late James Harper, one of the
founders of the great publishing house
of Harper and Brothers. When he was
young publisher in Cliff street, he
tried hard to dissuade one of his neigh
bors from drinking. One day, when he
had talked earnestly on the subject, his
friend turned upon him thus:
"Neighbor Harper. you don't like
the taste Of liquor, but you are as much
slave to tobacco as | am to rum, and
you couldn't break off that habit any
more than could break off Drinking
To this retOrt Mr.. Harper made no
reply at the time, but it sunk deep into
his mind. He thought it over all day,
and finally made up his mind that no
habit of his should ever be snare to
another. Before he slept that night he
put his tobacco, his pipes and all the
apparatus of smoking away up out of
sight on the top shelf of the kitchen.
To the day of his death he never used
tobacco again.
1t cost him a severe effort to keep his
resolution, but he made it cheerfnlly,
and did not mention the matter until
the v.c,ory was complete.
Many persons are still living who
have heard him relate this incident of
his early life.
Thurlow Weed did something similar
When he had been a pretty hard
smoker for fifty years, his physician
told him that his cigars were injuring
him, and that be must stop smoking if
he wished eyer to have better health.
Mr.. Weed took his cigar from his
mouth, threw it away, and never
smoked again Youth'S Companion.

How He Was Cured of the Bad Habit of
Crying.
When Ned could not have what he
wanted he would cry and scream. He
was nearly seven years old, quite old
enough to know better. One summer
evening his father took him to drive.
He was very good until, on the way
home, he wanted to drive. His father
was afraid to let him do so, because the
horse was not very steady.
''Do let me-" leased Ned
''Not tonight" said his father.
Ned began to whimper, then cry, then
roar. His father tried to stop him, but
he only roared the louder They drove
some distance, Ned scream NC all the
way. His father said nothing, but sud-
denly he stopped the horse, lifted Ned
out, put him on the side of the road.
jumped back into the carriage, and
drove away.
Ned's surprise was so great that he
stopped crying. Did his father really
mean TO leave him there? He would
surely come back; but he did not. Poor
Ned wished he had not cried. He wanted
to go home, but did not know the way.
1t began to grow dark. Up in the sky
he saw little star shining. He felt
lonely and frightened. He did not want
to stay all night at the roadside. At
last he heard the noise of wheels. Per-
haps his father was coming back. No,
it was another man, in a wagon. He
stopped when he saw Ned, jumped out,
and came to him.
'What are you doing there?" he
asked
Nothing" said Ned.
"Why don't you go homer" added
the man.
At this Ned burst into tears, and told
him all about it, He was a nice man,
for he said: sect into my wagon, and /
will give you lift"
Ned climbed in and took seat beside
the man. It Was a little strange that
he should drive Ned to his home with
out asking where he lived 1t was
strange, too, that when the wagon
stopped, Ned's father should open the
door, as if he expected him, and say:
"Thank you, Mr.. Smith" But it was
not strange that Ned learned a lesson,
that night, which he never forgot.
Ned Gid not know until he was a big
boy that his father had sent the man to
bring him home-An1aa N. Talcott, in

What Boston Has Recently Evolved in

Speaking of unseen features of fem

committee of that city are the authors
of what they call the corset-abolishing

Abby Gould Woolson, has brought
some of the articles to New York
for missionary purposes. She showed
them to an invited gathering yes

adroitly the girl who acted as a figure
model on which to exhibit them was a
slim-waisted creature, who might as
well go without corsees as not, SO good
were her natural outlines.
The outfit consists of three garments,
viz: A balmoral skirt, composed of a
deep princess waist reaching to the
knees and joined there to a broad,
straight fiounce; then suit of white
cotton cloth or muslin, shaped loosely
to the form by vertical seams and
terminating in sleeves and drawers.
With one thickness of smooth cloth the
latter garment covers the entire body
from chin to wrists and ankles. Final

woven upon the same model, and, like
the chemiloon, buttoned down the en-

THE reports that reach us by te.e- graph from San Francisco in relation to the Chinese traffic in white babies, in our opinion, is more sensational than real. The Chinese may have a few white babies, but it is not propable that they are engaged "in the slave trade as some of the local papers of that city would have us believe. It is Tot at all probable that the traffic n white chil- dren has been going on any length ot time in San Francisco without the knowledge of the authorities. The press of that City contains numerous stories of buying and selling white babies, yet strange to say, not one of the local pa- pers ever heard anything about the ne farious practice until within the last week. About ten days ago white babe was found with the Chinese in New York; few days later it was rumored that one had been found with a Chinese laundryman in Chicago. These reports whether true or false. stated the ball to rolling in San Francisco hence the sensational reports. Some white children may have been found among the Chinese as was reported but We have no idea that any organized system of baby traffic ex- ists. The story that white children are purchased by Chinese spectators and sent to China and sold to wealthy China men, exists only in the imagination Of the San Francisco reporter. How would it be possible for Chinamen to send white children who are twelve years old via the Pacific Steamships, without their nationality being found out, and inqulr- ed into. The story IS decidedly tshy and must be proved before it vii! be &C., cepted by the people.
