Where Does Lying Begin2

w hen a thing is praised beyond
its merits and beyond its ability to
perform, is it not the same as mis-
representation and is not misrepre-
sentatlon about the same thing as
lying? Old-fashioned, plain, straight
forward folks say it was. There is
too much of this kind of exaggera-
ted and extrayagant talk about
stock. Some people are so consti-
tuted that they own is always best.
Others, when they want to speak
we'll of thing must give 1t all the
good qualities it would be possible
to possess, whether it does or not
Some cattlemen, for instance, say
that the Holland cattle are the
greatest mixers, and wonderful
butter and astonishing for
beef. Now if they would simply
insist that they give the most milk
aud rest the case, they would state
a fact and not stretch thing. To
give the Jersey all of the merits
which belong to cattle would be
equally absurd. They are best for
butter, and they make good beef.
The Holland cattle are coarse grain
ed, more so than the Shorthorns,
and they never Will make so good
beef. Perhaps the Shorthorns are
the nearest perfection for beef, al
though the Hereford are close to
them. We do not want one thing
for everything, nor everything for
one thing.-Country Home.

Mamma. God Will Mend Yon. y

There was a dear little fellow of
five years of age, named Harry. He
gave early proofs Of love to the dear
Saviour, who said, "Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me-" He would
sit for hours listening to storIet
from the bible, and his young hears
was deeply impressed by them. o
that all my young friends loved the
bible like little Harry.
Harry had dear little baby
brother, who at one time was very
i'll. Harry would go at least dozen
times every day into his little room,
and when he thought no one heard
or saw him but his Heavenly Fa
ther, would kneel down by his bed
side and say: 80 Lord, please
make my dear little brother better.
Amen, for Christ's sake.' After a
while the baby recovered.
Some time after the mother was
taken i'll. One afternoon little Har-
ry went up to her, kissed her and
said: "Dear ma, think l had bet
ter pray to God to mend you. You
know he heard me about baby, and
l think he will hear about you
Shall pray to God for you, map
eyes, my dear, if you please?"
"Shall 1 say it aloud, ma, or to
MYSELF" His mama wishing to
hear what he would say, answered:
"You can say it aloud, Harry
dear"
So the dear little fellow knelt
down, clasped his hands and said:
80 Lord, my dear mamma is very
poorly. Please, o Lord, make her
well again, for Christ's sake.
Amen" He then got up and said:
There, mamma, God will make
you better, because l have asked
Christ's sake"
The mother threw her arms
around her boy, and lifted prayer
to heaven that he might ever retain
this sweet child.like confidence in
his Heavenly Father. Her own
faith also was strengthened by this
little ncident.-Loving Words.

solve to employ only industrious,
best that can possibly be obtained,
and require strangers, who apply
for work, to present strong recon-
mendations as to character and
skilled and trustworthy men, or the
competency, the difficulty may be
measurably overcome. But in order
to render this plan practicable, and
of benefit to those specially inter
ested, farmers must scrupulously
regard each others interest. For
example, no one who desires to do as
he.would be done by, should recon-
mend, either verbally or in writing,
a person that he would not him
self employ--a thing which is
often done by prominent people of
various occupations, either from
kindness, or to get rid of appli-
csnts. This is a matter about
which farmers should be extremely
careful, lest they should do injury
to other employers, by influencing
them 10 engage men who prove in
competent, or otherwise objectiona-

Profits of Black Walnut Culture

Mr.. Caves, of Texas, ten years
ago, planted ten acres of walnut
trees, by hand, 200 to the acre, in
all 1900 trees, says the Gardeners
Monthly. The trees are now nine
inches through, and grow at the
rate of an inch s. year, and wheh
twenty years old they will he worth
$25 tree, making the forest worth
at that time $4,000. But that is
not all. Last year the trees bore
400 bushels of walnuts, which
brought $3.50 per bushel, making
81 900 for the ten acres of land
good interest for land worth $I5
per acre. If at the age of twenty
years, halt of the trees are cut and
sold $25 a tree, or $4,000, the nuts
per year from the remaining trees
will be worth $4,000 year. There
is a hint in this for our farmers.
There are few farms in this vIcini-
ty, which do not have from five to
six to ten acres of land on them of
little use save for tree planting. If
ali such places were planted in
trees, it is easy to see that in few
years time they would add greatly
to the value of the farm.

Fair Abuses.

At scores of agricultural exhibit
tions which will take place IN the
next few weeks the crowds in at
tendance will be surrounded by
forms of iniquity which in other os-
tensibly decent places can
not be tolerated. Gambling devices,
catch penny allurements, and not
infrequently the sale of intoxica-
ting drinks, will mar the moral
features of the occasions which
should present nothing repGlsive to
the most refined moral sentiment.
The moral tone of an agricultural
fair should be one of its most firmly
established characteristics, and
when this is destroyed the public
can well spare the whole concern.
These are plain words, but they
are meant. We hold that no board
of officers has a right to sell "priv-
ileges," other than those pertaining
to the sale of necessary refresh
ments and the pursuit of legitimate
business on the grounds. True, NO
class are so willing TO pay well for
admission as: the scoundrels who
come to steal from the crowds in at
tendance, and when the managers
'bounce" these fellows they often
throw away considerable source OF
income Yet if the income from
this source were double what it is
they would be no more justified in
countenaDcing these demOralizing
influences. 1t is no excuse that the
fair cannot live without them-let
them die rather than be sustained
at such a moral sacrifice.
Public sentiment is moving in
this direction, and every year shows
progress in the correction of this
great evil. One fair after another
is closing it's gate against these
thieves, and it really looks as
though the time we're coming when
no fair which aspires to public con
fidence and generous patronage will
dare to set its face against this re-
form. Let the imitation be kept up
and let the managers plainly see
that they must fall in with public
sentiment or give their place to 9th
ers who Will.-Stockman.
