FARM AND HOME.

Mr.. Leonard Grant, jr., vouches
for the truth of the following
story, and says he can bring plenty
of men who will testify to his
veracity, so we give the story as
he gave it to us, with the remark
that it is the biggest hen story on
record: "About sixteen years ago
my father threshed with an open
cylinder machine, raking the straw
from the oats and chat, leaving
the latter upon the floor. Just
before completing the work, hen
flew down from the scaffold where
the oats had been stored, and went
out from the barn. After the
machine was removed TO a neigh,
boris, l saw the same hen come
upon the floor, and begin scratch
ing among the oats and chat. Ny
brother told mo to scare her away,
but thought she wanted to lay,
so we kept still and watched her,
She quickly made a nest, and in
about two minutes arose, cackled,
and went off few steps, then re.
turned to the nest a few. minutes,
got up, and cackled again, repeat
ing the process FIVE times before
leaving the floor, each time depos-
iting an egg in the nest. After the
fifth egg we called father, but he
laughed at us, believing we had
ourselves put in the eggs, but our
united testimony was too much for
him, and he accepted the truthful
ness of our report. My brother
was about twenty-five and 1 twelve
years old at the time. The story
docs seem fshy, but l know it is

The Smallest Living Things.

In q lecture delivered by Mr.
Howes on "The Smallest Living
Things" it was pointed out that
some of the organisms are not
more than .0000Ol of an inch in
length, and that the bacillus, spir,
illus, bacterlum, etc., multiplying
by continual subdivisions, are so
practically infinitely numerous
es to. be present everywhere that
the air can penetrate. Tho lectur-
er futher showed from their mode
of digestion that they must be
animals, not vegetables. In order
to illustrate the necessity for the
access of the germ-laden air to
cause putrefaction, two TASKS of
chicken broth were exhibited made
seven years previously. One had
been sealed from the air, the other
exposed to 1t for ten minutes q few
days previously. The latter was
thick and muddy from the swarms
of bacteria it contained; the former
as clear as on the day when it was
made.

Go to Work.

The young man who is petted at
home is becoming n nuisance. He
is seldom any good. What is want
ed nowadays is practical man
who can do something else besides
smoke cigarettes and twist cane.
The time to learn to work and to
learn business habits is in ones
youth. He who leads the life of q
butterfly until he is twenty-five or
thirty years of age, and then re-
cognizes the fact that he has made
an ape of himself has precious lit
tie to recommend him when he APP
plies for q Job. This may be q
chestnut, but 1t fits not q few young
men of evory city In the Union.
The boys on the farm are better
of, if he only knew 1t, than thous-
ands of the boys who are at large.
There is nothing like being practi-
cal, and thore is but one way to do
so Acquire business habits and
train yourself to good, honest, hard
work. Don't waste your time
learning to tie cravat. You can
buy cravats already tied.

The VALUE OF OATs.-There Is
probably no food so good for re-
cuperating exhausted muscles as
good, sound, heavy oats. They
are easily digested, nutritious,
muscle-bullding and blood.making
in high degree. They are little
heating. do not tend to make
horses sweat, and on the whole are
the best food a horse can have,
Barley is very good but no equal
to oats. Indian corn is poor sub
stitute, not so easily digested, heat
ing and causing the animal to
sweat. As to system, horse
should have hay first, then grain,
and water when these are digested,
or water should be gwen at least
an hour before feeding. Horses
often have dyspepsia, induced by
being fed when warm, or being
worked after full meal. The
practice of feeding hard worked
horses at noon and working them
Immediately after is of doubtful
utility. Horses will go eight or
probably ten hours without food
if properly feed at evening and
morning. They should have water
more frequently, but never when
hot.

Thrift of the German settler.


The German is prominently 6
lover of the soil. The acme OF his
worldly happiness is the posses
sion of land. He inherits this trait
from a long line of land-tilllng
ancestry, and he brings 1t across
the water to this land-seeker's
paradise. HIS prime motive for
leaving the old country is to &c
quiro land in the new. He has
heard of its fabulous cheapness,
and that to HIM is the greatest
boon that can be conferred on the
German peastry. Why should he
toll on In poverty, when there are
urnumbered acres of land awaiting
an owner in America?
He does not stop to think much
further than this. He has no fears
of his ability to live and thrive on
his land, when once he owns it.
The main point is the getting OF
it, and his own strong arm will
make living and provide for his
family. He takes chance; but
nine cases out of ten, the German
immigrant succeeds where any
ether nationality would fail. He
gets his land and he is happy. No
power of reasoning can convince
him that there is any other road to
wealth than the persistent tilling
of the soil. And so he works on,
year after year, and he always
"ga1ns on it." Seldom do we
hear of German farmer going IN
to bankruptcy. As a rule, the
Germer is 'tgood," in a commercial
sense, anywhere. Unborn tenden-
cies to frugality help make him
so. He need only to follow the
traditions of his fathers. If they
could live and save in Germany,
he can 1--we and save In America,
and he does.-Exchange.

WORSE THAN MoRTGAGEs.-There
is in the estimation of some people
no worse thing than a mortgage on
a farm. The interest is o great
cause of trouble ard the payment
ofthe principal is fearful to con
tent late. But there are 7Ssorse
thilgs than the mortgage on the
farm, worse trouble than the pay
ment of interest, and many a worse
thing to contemplate than the final
payment of it. Men borrow a good
deal besides money that is worse
to pay than a mortgage. They
borrow heap oftrouble, they fret
and worry and are anxious, and
make their wives and families do
the same. This breeds unhappi-
ness at home, discomfort among
the boys, leads to quarrellngs and
pickering and angry contentious,
and makes home anything but q
home of peace and contentment.
Borrowing is not necessarily bad,
but the borrowing of trouble is
the most mischievous of evils.
