with profanity. We can Gndcisesac1 how
under extreme provocation man might
give Inference to an oath. We understand,
if we do not sympathise with q passionate
man, beset with little difficulties, when he
snaps cut too energetic word. But for a
man in common, every day conversation, to
calmly, even stupidity, mix in dozen or
more profane expressions, there is no ex-
cuse; and yet it is the result of habit that
has grown upon the American people and
deserves eensure.
No boy utters his first oath without
something of shudder. No man with any
regard for the proprieties of society ever
swears in he presence of ladies. 1t is more
a matter of habit than any vice to which the
people are addicted. Now, if those who
have watched this wretched habit will break
it, if only for few days, and listen to 9TH
ers, they will see how senseless, how un-
manly it is, and how little necessity there is
for it. 1t is the most gratuitous and un-
compensating of all sins. 1t neither gives
force to remark, dignity to speech, nor i'm
pressiveness to thought And it is a habit
as easily broken as formed. How degrad-
ing to humanity to hear the vile curses of a
foul mouthed drunkard. The two vices
generally go together, and one is as beastly

sheep Better Than Cattle.

There are two sides to all disputed ques-
tions, and both must be examined II we
would ascertain the truth. As to which
are more profitable sheep or cattle-loca-
ton. soil and other considerations must be
taken into account in determining A.
HYDE, in the Country Gentleman, gives
some advantages the shepherd possesses
over the herdsman as follows:
s1n the first place, stock Of sheep costs
less than one Of cattle. A farm which will
carry twenty cows viii carry about eight
times as many sheep, and to stock farm
with 20 cows and corresponding fixtures
will require an outlay of 81 1000. An
equivalent number of sheep (say 800 can
be purchased for about half this sum. A
flock of sheep demands less care than
herd of COWS. The latter must pc MIXED
daily. and butter and cheese making is con-
slant and laborious. Then sheep will live
and thrive where COWS would make poor
returns. Almost every herb that grows,
down to the Canada thistle, sufices sheep
for food. Pastures are greatly benefited
by being cropped by sheep. They not only
keep down the weeds, but have more tertll-
ling materials in'their droppings than have
cows. In the milk of the latter much
phosphate of lime and other saline, as well
as heterogeneous matter, is removed, but
sheep carry nothing off but their wool. A
flock of sheep also multiplies more rapidly
than herd of cows. Sheep also fatten
much more easily than cattle, and when
slaughtered furnish not only meat but

Setting currant Cuttings.

Robert Scott, of La Porte, Ind, writes
as follows
aBut very few who plant currant cut
tings do it at the right season of the year
1t is usually done in the spring, when in
fact it should be done in the fail. | have
had good deal Of experience in propaga-
ting currants. | always plant my currant
cuttings in the fall as soon as the leaves
fall off. They will make durable roots two
to four inches long the same fall, while the
buds remain dormant. They will make
double the growth the next season if set in
the fall, and they should be set in ground
that Will not heave them out by the effects
of frost and should be covered just before
winter sets in with coarse litter Remove
the covering early in the spring and exam
inc the cuttings to see if any Of them hove,
and if so, press them down again. Should
they heave up an inch or more, if well
pressed down they will start and make
better growth than cuttings set in the
spring. In either case however, the cut
tings should always be made in the fall.

Care of Farm Implements.

The reaper. mower and hay fork, the
cradles and other implements required for
the harvest are now done with for the sea
son, aud should be housed and out Of the
way at once, to protect them from the
weather. Those which may need repair
iag had better be attended to now so that
when the time comes to use them again,
they may be ready for the work for which
they are designed, without delay at the
time when every hour is Of much more
value than will be the case for some time
to come. The wear and tear OF farm ma
chimes and implements, remarks cOtem-
porary, amount to heavy annual tax on
the farmer. 1t viii pay him to study
economy in taking care of them. Some
farmers win use up good wagon IN two
or three seasons, while we know OF wagons
still GOOD which have been in constant use
on the farm for over thirty years. They
were well made Of good well-seasoned ma
terial. and then were well painted. No
general repairs have been necessary, Tor as
soon as a bolt was broken it was replaced,
or If a burr became loose it was frightened.
1t is the running Of wagons and machinery
when they are out Of order that destroys
them. The wheels and axles are the inn
portaut parts of the wagon. The loss from
the failure to keep them well creased
amounts to large sum in the aggregate
And. with light wagons; neglecting to put
leather washers on the arms to make the
wheels run steady, subjects them to unu-
sual strain and permits them to wear rap
idly. Paint is a far more important pre-
server of wagons than of buildings. We
have had long continued hot weather fol
lowed by wet SPELL Loose tires and
rattling spokes are heard on every hand.
A days use of wagon in this condition IS
more hurtful than a months work when 1t
is put in good working order.
Some farmers are natural machinists,
and seem to keep their implements in or
der with little trouble and small expense,
while others are always doing imperfect
work and destroying their machinery by
using it when it is needing repairs. The
great fault with most of our moving ma
chimes is that they are not used with sutfl-
Gent care. They work well when new,
bat soon get out of order. A burr works
loose at vital point, permitting wear, or
the frame or some portion of the bearings
get out Of line, and friction is increased.
It has been the study of machinists to make
a perfect working mower. They have not
given sufficient study to the making OF a
durable ono. We must make the most of
what we have and keep our eyes open to
needed repairs, making them promptly as
they are needed.
