SOLID SUCCESS.

The surest road to success in life
is that Of persistence and thorough
work. Spectators, who make
money rapidly, generally lose it
with equal rapidity. Easy come,
easy 90. 1t is the patient, steady
toilers who gain and keep fortunes.
Mr.. VIM. II. Webb, the great ship
builder at New York, is a good
example for the young men Of the
United States.
His father had won a fortune in
ship.building, and, like many low
ing fathers, wished an easier life
for his favorite boy. But the young
man preferred his fathers trade
and determined to master it. lie
went into the shIp-ward like COM
mon workman, beginning at the
foot of the ladder, and acquired
great skill in the use Of all the
tools. Soon eve the experienced
hands did not equal him in nicely
of work.
He was still a young man when
his father died, but he continued
the business, and won in 1t a
high reputation.
He was the first man in the yard
in the morning, and tue last to
leave it at night.
With his own hand he drew the
model of every vessel built therein;
wrote in a book every specification
of the building; and marked on
the frame the place for every stick
of timber. No better vessels
either for war or commerce, wer(
built in the world than came from
Webb's yard. OF the one hundred
and forty built under his own eye
not one proved failure.
Sir Titus Salt, the great Englisl
manufacturer of alpaca, used t.
boast, when he was a millionaire
that he could, at a moments notice
take the place of any workman il
his vast factory. He was maste
not only of the financial but Of thu
mechanical part of his business.

FEEDING CORN TO HORSES.

Corn is the bane of the farm
horse, as it is also Of the horse
doing any other sort of work, not
because of not being sufficiently
nutritious, but because it makes
too much fat and not enough muscle
The horses muscle wears away Dy
friction. Fat also wears away un-
der exercise, but its disappearance
in nowise lessons the power Tor
either draft or speed. On the other
hand, well-nourished and vigorous
" exercised muscles, without a
deposit of fat to keep them COM
pany, are much more efficient Tor
any purpose for which the horse is
kept than when there is a load OF
fat to be carried. The trainer acts
upon the proposition, and works
the fat of, experience having shown
that the muscles, trained down by
exercise until fat Accommodations are

modified by the degree to which the
movements of the latter are slower
than those of the former. II the
farmer has only corn for feed, then
he will be wise to make sale OF his
corn, or the greater part of 1t, buy
ing oatmeal instead. If corn be
used in whole or in part, the effect
should be carefully noted as to the
extent to which fermentation sets
in, meeting this by use OF salt ana
ashes, at once lessening the amount
of corn fed. 1t will be found that
horses fed freely on corn VIII eat
earth when allowed access to 1t, as
to a degree, this neutralizes the
acid generated in the stomach, and
gives relief. Corn may DO rated
as the natural food for fattenlng
stock-such as are fed for the flesh
All kinds OF fattening stock are
made ripe on corn, with the addl-
ton of an allowance of coarse feed
for fodder. Ripeness in the horse
is very different thing from npe'
ness in the fatted steer, for in the
one case it means full vigor OF
muscle with an absence of fat, ana
in the other an abundance OF tat,
no matter how much ; and as to the
muscle, no matter how inefficient

HOW TO MANAGE A MAN.

Nothing on earth fetches a man
like a good dinner and a well dress
ed wife presiding. The husband
who can look forward to such a
state OF things every day Of his
life will never tire of home, and
the wife who studies his comfort
will have little difficulty in manag-
ing him according to her will. Men
are gregarious animals and will
wander in spite of all allurements,
but they are selfish enough to re-
main where they are best treated,
and by taking little trouble for a
year or two of married lie the
years that follow will, as a rule,
find the husband always glad to go
back to the pretty home where
smiles await him and the dinner |
spoke of. There are so many WON
Ell who object to being 'bossed,' as
they call it. Ny dear ladies you
can always be boss if you take the
trouble. By giving in you get
your own way as you never would
by lighting for it. And, after all,
it is better to feel you respect your
husband so much that to give in
to him is not a difficulty.
Nine men out of ten are manage
able if you 90 the right away alb
out it, and one great point is to act
after marriage just as you did be-
fore, Argument and contradiction
are vital enemies to married peace
Should you wish for anything
particularly, don't insist upon il
after refusal. Some women are
persistent and ask: 'Why may
not ! Why don't you do as | tel
your and irritate the man. Rather
bide your time, and make an extra
good dinner Of his favorite dishes
put bow on of the color he likes
make home and yourself sweetel
than ever. You'll get it sure, ever
ifyou have to wait. Also, wher
you want him to do any particular
thing which you know will DO fol
his good, for Heavens sake do no
say DO it, Rather drop hin
that you think so and so would b
a good thing to do. Get him inter

The poultry discussion at Boston
recently brought forth the fact
that hen manure is a most valuable
fertilizer, and worth in comparison
with commercial fertilizers, 70 cents
to $3.50 per barrel. Those who set
the price as low as 70 cents to 81
were.willing to buy all that is Of
fered. Those who advocated $3.50
per barrel sold when they could get
that. Hence, Sl.l5 to S1.25 must
be considered a fair valuation for
such manure.

WHAT CAUSES SOLDERING.

The causes of soldering of hor-
<sss that are grazed on the after
rath is the presence of acrid weeds
IN the herbage.
Lobelia, st. Johns wort, and rag.
weed often form the larger portion
Of the heritage and this can scarcely
lie avoided so long as the second
crop of clover for seed is cut from
fields infested with these weeds
Lobelia may soon be discovered
By its pale blue, small, tubular or
funnel Snapped flowers and its
oval eed-pods. 1t grows about 6 to
J. inches high, and is easily miss
al in meadow unless one stoops
low to seek for it, when it will be
too often found abundantly. If
one tastes it he will readily under
stand why it will produce the effect
complained of. 1t has strong,
acrid flavor like that Of tobacco,
, snd may quite often be found in
growing or second crop hay.
St. Johns wort is recognized by
iN fve.petaled yellow flowers, but
lIst easily by its three celled pods
laliAh have three divergent, long,
sender styles attached to the top
ofthe pod. These are quite ap'
parent III the flower, being the three
ssamens. The petals have quite a
humber Of purple dots upon them
Rsgweed is too we'll known to need
description ; it has strong, bitter
aromatic taste, which is not so oao
a. ,hat of the preceding weeds, but
il will cause some horses to slOO'
her. Horses will refuse to touch
these plants if they can avoid II
bit when they are abundant they
cannot help eating some OF them

The POULTRY BooM.-Ihe
usual interest now manifested IN
poultry culture is the result of the
poultry exhibitions and fanciers'
lAborers of the past twenty years
The interest is the healthy out
g1owth Of well-directed labor Tor
that end. The country has got TO
increase its consumption Of poultry
and eggs fully 100 per cent. before
it will equal France, and there is
10 reason why Americans should
not feast on brOiled chickens as
well as any nation on earth. AS
Vet there has neveHbeen a season
when the broil market was over
stocked. The days are plenty
when your order for brOlled chick
en- at our large restaurants and
hotels is sent back with the reply
1--WE cannot serve broiled chicken
to.day1 We need never fear thai
a time will come when early chicks
will not sell well.

cans inc Evils anu HOW
Restored.
In this age Of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furthcrance Of noble works, and ia
the advancement Of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take 4 high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamcd state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people arc fast, under these Influences
developing into a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for It's vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination Of the physical
character Of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility Is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none Of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. s. Goudy, Of Massillon, stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the mcdi,
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy ant
restored him to his youthful vigor. lie
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says Il
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus & Co, Springfield, o.
writes -" We are having good sale iol
PERuNA. 1t sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisiae
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Ncedham, Newtonville
Clermont County, Ohio, says: q" / have
been a great sufferer for the last six OF
seven years, with general debility and
change Of life. was very much reduced
Ihaye taken four bottles Of PERUSA, which
ha, restored me to perfect health anc
strength. We think PERUNA q safe an1
grand medicine"

TIE USES OF TILLAGE.

Tillage is manure. 1t puts the
existing elements of the soil in a
condition to be available. Tillage
makes better the mechanical con-
ditions of the soil, disintegrates
and prepares the plant-food con-
tanned therein, opens 1t Tor the
spread of the roots so that they
may extend in every direction ana
find their appropriate nourishment,
and fits it for the ABSORPTION OF
carbon and nitrogen from the air.
9illage mingles the crude and inert
elements with the active and es-
sential, and tends to reduce them
all to powder and make them SOL
uble for the use of the plant. 1t
thus makes the soil more homo
eeneOus OF all of a sort, and causes
not only mechanical but chemical
changes, which lead to decided
and visible improvement therein.
Tillage, therefore, when con-
Quoted at the right time and in the
right way, is the key to success.
Without it all else is labor in
vain, and its benefits are in direct
proportion to the thoroughness and
skill in which it is performed. BY
good tillage, very fine crops may be
grown on a large portion of our
land for a long series of years,
without manure. We say may be
gown We do not advise that
the farmer should rely upon tillage
alone, for that would be unwise
We only wish to emphasize the i'm
portance of good tillage and show
v hat it is capable Of doing. \
good many years ago, as we have
read, Jethro Tull, an English farm
err, by thorough tillage without
manure raised fine crops of wheat,
turnips and potatoes on the same
land for eighteen or twenty years
in succession. What one farmer
las done a hundred others may do
If they will-nOt try to raise crops
without manure, but to practice
Perfect tillage, aud thus secure its
great and incalculable benefits to
their farms. There is very little
thorough tilla sc; it ought to come.
Tillage supplies what nothing
else can supply without it, and rem
ders other modes and means OF
fertilization comparatively a simple
matter, to keep a supply of plant
food in the soil. Bones for the phos-
phoric acid; mari, lime or ashes
for the potash, and animal depOsits
for the nitrogen, with thorough
ullage, are all the outside help
that field would ever require to
preserve its yigor and fertility.
And with good tillage, the smallest
amount of these would suffice as
the annual application. Tiilage,
therefore, renders heavy applica-
tons of commercial manures not
Cniy unnecessary but a waste.
Tillage precedes and outweighs
almost everything else in value. 1t
makes poor land more productive,
it enables crops to withstand
drouth, it renders less land neces-
sary, it utilizes and develops ex-
istiDg capital before inert, and it
renders the process of pro Lection
more pleasant, certain AMI profit
able. Do not forget tina. tIage is
the Key to success. Ma 1t As
thorough as you can. Use only
the best implements. Prepare the
land before you plant.-Rural
Messenger.
