What Constitutes a Good Farmer.

W. B. Ferguson, OF East Dixmont,
Me-, writes as follows on the above
subject in the Philadelphia Practical
Farmer:
Intelligence is essential to the farmer,
for he must direct his own labors, and
successful farming does not depend so
much upon what q man has as
upon what a man is. Certainly
it depends not so much upon having
this or that, as on intelligence, indus
try and economy. There are innumer-
able matters, pertaining to soils,
climate, crops, stocks and markets,
that he should know all about. There
are also practical details with which
he must be thoroughly familiar, or
his capital and strength will not be
properly applied. If he lacks industry
and is self indulgent, and loves his own
ease more than the comfort of his
stock or the growth Of his crops, he
Will not secure success ~ farming. To
be good farmer and insure success, q
man must not only economic his
products and his money, but he must
learn to economic time and opportun-
tiles, not only to raise good crops
o'iib CbONh, Dub W htlOW IHtlE COSI
and be able at any time to determine
whether profitable or otherwise, and
to see that nothing be lost for want of
system. The general struggle for
wealth, even among farmers, might
lead one to suppose that money
makers and prize-winners at exhibit
tlons are the most successful farmers.
This may sometimes be true, but not
true invariably nor OF necessity, and
for the reason that fat cattle or fast
horses or anything else for which
premiums are offered are not the most
important results of farming. The
farmer himself and the farmers fami-
ly are by far the most valuable of
| these results, and hence the first ques-
ton to be asked is, "Is the farmer
| himself a success 2 " els he a well de
veloped and well-trained man IN all the
| departments OF his being?" "Is tie
| farmers family a success ?" So far

MIR, GOrman's Nutmeg
From the baltimore sun

LfiOhi Tic bdlIInOrc sun
Senator German was in the city, to-
day, looking after certain department
al matters which he desires to arrange
preparatory to going away on his
summer vacation. Mr.. Gorman tells
the following story on himself: For
many years he has been a sufferer
from regular attacks of neuralgia. On
some occasions he has been confined
TO his home day or two, so intense
was the pain. An old lady friend
once called upon him while he was sui
fering from one OF his attacks. She dis
played so much sympathy that she
almost forgot TO name the request she
had to make-but she did not. Upon
learning that the senator was troubled
with neuralgia she volunteered to give
him an infalllble remedy, provided he
would promise not to laugh at her or
accuse her OF being believer in conju-
ration, spells, etc. The senator, in q
good.natured way, informed her that
he was under treatment OF an eminent
physician who sometimes afforded
temporary relief. The old lady finally
prevailed upon the senator to give her
remedy q fair trial, whereupon she
suggested that he should get an ordi-
nary nutmeg, such as is used in cook
ing, drill q hole through it, attach it
to s. piece of string or ribbon, and
wear 1t around his neck continually.
The senator while suffering one day,
determined to give the nutmeg remedy
q trial. He followed the old lady's di.
rections, and in few hours felt great
ly relieved. He has worn the nutmeg
ever since, and is seldom troubled
with neuralgia. Hehas consulted sew
eral physicians on the subject, and
they state that the nutmeg possesses
certain virtues which may have effect
ON neuralgic pains.

An Unfortunate Exchange of Teeth

A special dispatch from Bridgeport,
Ct, says: The lady manager of
Bridgeport clearinghouse had occa-
sion several days ago to make flying
trip to New York. On reaching the
station she was Mortified TO find that
she had, in her haste, forgotten her
set of upper teeth. A thoughtful do
mestiC, however, had noticed the fatal
oversight, and arrived with the coun-
terfelt worries Just as the train was
about to move. The teeth were nerv-
ously lodged in their proper place, but
it was not long before the matron felt
q disagreeable sensation IN her jaw.
There seemed to be some unaccounta-
BILE misfit that interfered with the
workings OF the machinery, and when
she bought an orange for the purpose
of trial she discovered that the pulp
had peculiar cigarette flavor as it
passed down. Then she had kind of
qualm which she confidently charged
TO the extreme heat and the car ride,
but she would probably find out what
it all meant when she got home.
When Brown, who was one of the
boarders, came down to a late break
fast, he ventured to demand who had
been in his room, for his upper teeth
had disappeared. The mystery was
unraveled when the matron returned
in the evening. Brown was glad that
"some OF him" had been able to visit
New York, but he declined to resume
his old relations with his tramp teeth

Saving Grain for Seed.

The Importance of care in selecting
seed corn is getting to be we'll under
stood by most farmers. 1t is very
apt to be injured if not thoroughly
dried before being exposed to cold
weather. But other seed grain is
equally liable to be injured from
dampness. Ii piled in stacks or mows
when wet enough to cause violent heat
ing the vitality OF the seed is impaired.
Grain intended for seed should be kept
by itself on as hallow scaffold, where
it cannot be in bulk sufficient 70 heat
When threshed, it should be spread
thinly on the. barn floor, I'M
til thoroughly dry. A bushel
OF seed saved in this war will
produce more and stronger plants
than a bushel and half or two
bushels taken haphazard from the
grain bin as grain is usually. ThesuC-
cess in thin seeding, about which we
hear so much, depends largely on the
way seed has been kept. Good seed
may safely be sown thinly.

THE RURAL HOME.
The Hour Glass.
BY wElHHEA BRYANT LEAoA

BY wEiTHEA BRYANT LEACMAN
Drop by drop the little sands
Run down the glass in my Idle hands;
One by one have the moments flown,
Till the hour has come and the hour has gone,
shift the motion and down they go.
Dropping So noiseless, AM: sure, and slow
One by one as they slowly pass,
Silently filling the little glass
They beat in rythm and measured time
To an hour glass set i'll this frame sublime
Which slowly pulses from brain to sole
AS the red drops upward and downward roll.
Backward and forward, up and down,
Through country by-ways or noisy town
Its measured beat keeps mu!fed time
To each myriad motion with faintest chime;
Through scenes familiar or those more strange
There comes no pause, no halt, no change.
But evermore, like the ocean grand
In its ebb and flow to the waiting land
1he red drops pulse with a rise and swell
Through m 3riad veins to the brains deep cell;
Where, drop by drop, like the sands in the
glass,
They mark the moments that swiftly pass.
Some day, should the hour glass shattered be-
Its sands shall lie like the sands of the sea,
Scattered, unknown, unnumbered by all
Save He, whose wisdom hath noted their fall
And the fragments of glass in the dust shall lie
Forgotten by any, uiImourned by sigh.
Some day my heart in its frame OF clay
Shall cease to beat, and the light OF day
VIII come no more to my weary eyes,
Nor my tired lips give smiles or signs,
And the red drops pulsing within my veins
VIII still meath the CULVER OF dying pains.
But oh Ike the hour glass crushed, shall
In my narrow home forgotten lie,
Unknown, unmourned by all save One?
Or, deep in the throbs OF some loved oue's
breast
Shall my memory linger and fondly rest.
Till time shall soften the parting pain,
AND the broken fragments be Joined again?

Broke His Arm.

Joseph Sullivan, printer, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, was playing base ball on
Tuesday, when he attempted to throw
the ball to the third base man to cut
off a runner. As he flung his arm
backward the ball flew away at right
angles and his arm dropped helplessly
TO his side. He at once said that 1t
was broken, and his friends took him
to a surgeon, who discovered that the
limb was fractured at the elbow Joint
and again at q point about three
inches above. The doctor said that
he considered it unprecedented for a
man to break his arm in two places by
the mere act of throwing ball or any
thing else. The fractures We're perfect

hIv knit together quite rapidly.

BY THE SEA.
BY c. r. cREsPI.

Two ships OF mine set sail one day
With the arching blue of clear skies above,
And watched them pass from above the bay
And one was Fame and the other was Love
And O. so often since then my eyes
With straining vision have sought the sea-
Tor felt that one day, under smiling skies,
NV beautiful ships would come back to me.
I knew that afar in the mystical land
Where our fond desires TO fruition grow,
Itch gifts were there for my eager hand,
And JOYS for my soul some day TO know.
So day by day by the blue sea waves
l watched for my ships but waited long,
And thoughts crept in of deep ocean graves,
And I prayed for my soul to be firm and
strong.
And one June morning the answer came,
While light streamed down from the blue
above;
But, o. my soul does one care for fame
When one sees the shipwreck of Faith and
Love-

DOES GOLD NnNMi
Joalnin MlIIer in Chieago Times.

Years ago wrote and published
in a London magazine an article in
which ! undertook to prove that gold
grows grows the same as grain or
potatoes CT anything else. | reckon
did my work crudely, not knowing
anything about chemistry or even
the ordinary terms OF expression about
such matters, and SO my earnest
and entirely correct sketch was torn
all to pieces and iaughel to scorn.
Well, | have at last found positive
proof Of my general statement right
here in these mountains by the Pa
ciiic sea. Briefly and simply, have
found piece of petri6ed w1od with
little vein or thread of gold in it,
How did that gold get into this piece
of wood! Was it placed there by
the finger of God on the morning of
creation. rs men have claimed was
the case with the gold found in the
veins Of the mountains Nonsense.
Gold grows Certain conditions of
the air, or certain combinations of
earth and air and water, and whatev-
er chemicals may be required, and
then a rock, piece Of quartz, or pet
rifcd tree, iot the gold to grow in,
and there is your gold crop! Of
course, gold grows slowly CeAtu-
ries upon centuries, it may be, are
requircd to make the least sign of
growth. But it grows Just as | as
serted years ago: and here at last
hold in my hand such testimony as
no man in this world viii bs rash
enough to question: portion of a
petriiied tree with a thread of gold in
it.
