The yachting season has opened at Bos-
ton and New York, and there is said to be
an unparalleled interest in this sport all
along the Eastern seaboard. Inland
yachting is also coming to the front, and
our own beautiful Lake Champlain seems
at last destined to have its possibilities
thus developed and made known.

1t may be worth mentioning as an in
centive to forest preservation and forest
culture in this country, that, according to
an authority on this subject, in Europe 2s
per cent of the land remains in timber,
while only l6 1-2 per cent thus remains in
the United States. The great prairie and
desert areas of this country, of course,

The situation of our Farmers. and
more especially of those in the Eastern
Counties, is a serious one. With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else in the
same proportion, it is doubtful whether
our people can make cotton at all

MEN WHO WIN WOMEN

God has so made the sexes that
women, like children, cling to men
lean upon them as though they
superior in mind and body. They
make them the suns of the system,
and their children revolve around
them. Men are gods, if they but
knew it, and women burn incense at
their shrines. 9 Women, therefore,
who have good minds and pure
hearts, want men to lean upon.
Think Of their r~everencing a drunk
ard, a liar, a fool or a libertine.
If a man would have a M to
do him homage he must be manly
l n every sense-a true gentleman;
not entirely after the Chesterfield
school, but polite because his heart
is full of kindness to all one who
treats her with respect, even defer
ence, because she is a woman; who
never condescends to say silly things
to her; who brings her up to his
level, if his mind is above hers; who
has no time to be frivolous with her;
always dignified in speech and act;
who never spends too much upon
her; never yields to temptation, even
if she puts it in his way; ambitious
to make his mark in the world
whether she encourages him or not;
who is never familiar with her to
the extent of being an adopted
brother or a cousin.

BE PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.

#t -
Sweet friend, when thou and | are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Past all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing,
What tender truth we shah have gained,
Alas, by simply dying?
Then lips too charry of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect Discovers;
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and |,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home:
Be patient with the living!
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, even when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamOr,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor;
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home:
Be patient with the living.
Good Cheer.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

E s4 - ff&
The Remington Agricultural
Works, at lion, n. Y, has failed,
with liabilities of about 100000.
Ohio is known as the great wool
producing State. Yet the eggs pro-
duced in that State last year nearly
equaled in value the wool product.
Seed corn should be changed
every four or five years, or at least
new kinds mixed with the local
sorts.
1t is now pretty we'll settled
that bees want and ought to have
salt, and Gleanings IN Bee Culture
suggests salt brine poured in saw
dust placed near the hives.
Only one pound in ten of all the
butter consumed in that country is
now made in England, it is stated.
Twenty years ago that country i'm
ported very little butter.
Last year the average yield Of
wheat per acre in England was 81.
81 bushels. In Scotland the average
was 34.17. The average yield OF
oats in England was 1856 bushels.
"A search Of the records show
that there were removed from the
streets and alleys of Chicago last
year the dead bodies Of 1926 horses,
7 mules, III cattle, 349 sheep, III
calves and 1882 dogs.
The total value of exports from
the United States during the twelve
months ending March 81, 1886, were
S665, 1868 OF S77,934,O 93 less than
during the year previous. The i'm
ports show an increase Of 1S,576,O15.
AS a rule poultry is given too
much concentrated food and not
enough of that which is bulky. If
poultrymen would consider this fact
they will get more eggs and have
less difficulty with diseases.
Last year there we're 1874, 1913
acres of fruit orchards in Great Brit
ain. This year the area has increased
to 1877 ,532 acres. Last year 52,975
acres were devoted to market gard
ems. There are now 59,473 devoted
to that purpose.
A good horse, over nine years
old, ought to have ten years work
in him, and in fact is often a better
purchase than a young horse, He
has been tested, and if weak spots
had been found the horse would
have been lame, blemished or dead.
"A Missouri farmer who has
been testing seed corn from the butt,
the tip, and the middle Of ears for
three years, finds that the corn from
the tips of the ars will ripen first,
that from the middle next, and that
from the butt last.
To take rust out of steel rub the
steel with oil, in a day or two rub
with fnely-powdered unslaked lime
until the rust all disappears, then
oil again, roll in wooden and put in
a dry place, especially if it be table
cutlery.
The scours in calves are easily
cured. Put a lump of lime the size
Of a hens egg into a Jug of water;
shake it well, then let it stand corked
tight. When you notice signs Of the
scours reduce the amount of milk at
once, and give a tablespoonful of the
clear lime water with every feed. A
raw egg stirred into the milk is an
other very good remedy.
