some silver Philosophy.

Some idea Of the reasoning by which the
people Of the South have come to regard
silver coin with favor may be CLEANED
from a talk had with Judge Lochrane, of
Georgia. The Judge avoved his advocacy
of silver coinage and supported his position
by saying: ..Silver is the best money for
currency in tn. world. We cannot have
too much Of il. 1t is the money that goes.
If you have gold piece you will hesitate
d long time about its outlay. ii you have
silver piece you will spend It freely,
because you have feeling that it is easier
gotten. Now, in my view, it is tue money
that circulates freely, that Ia really q
circulating medium that induces trade
that is really of the most benefit to the
country. They are, in fact. dead weight.
But silver dollar. with its ready move
ments, is promoter of business and ought
to be encouraged instead of frowned
upon. .'-Ner York Tribune.

TO A SINGER.
II. AUGUSTA.

Precious gifts are freely scattered
Mong earth's children far and near,
But of all the countless number
That Of song we hold most dear.
Singing cheers the weary hearted,
Breathes Of hope, and faith, aud love-
Even love that knows no changing,
Found alone IN God above.
Tells Of joy In sweetest carols
When earth's happiness We know,
Whispers peace when grief II stirring
All our heart-striDgs with its woe.
Then sing on, o happy singer.
Only Heaven can ever tell
All the hearts you cheer and comfort
With your own sweet mystic spell.
For your voice has power to waken
Dearest memories of the heart,
And to put afar or Danish
Thoughts we fain would bid depart.
Gods own blessing e'er attends you
While you sing His praise below;
Grant at last in choir celestial,
We your own loved voice may know.

Mrs. Mary c. Hungerford has some
wise words in Our Country Home about
answering the boys. Children, both
boys and girls, ask all manner of ques-
tions just because they are curious and
want to know. The child that does
not ask questions must be lacking in
intelligence. and the gist of Mrs.
Hungerford's advice is that mothers
should not be ashamed to candidly own
their ignorance when unable to answer
some puzzling query. Evasive answers

Not long ago heard an old gentleman
telling with great delight Of how he was
once guest at the White House. Il was
during Andrew Jackson's first term. His
father was an ardent admirer Of jackson
and insisted that the son, then just Of age,
should make pilgrimage TO Washington
for the sole purpose Of seeing tho old hero.
They lived at Erie, Pa, and the long
journey had to be made on horseback.
The young man took the tedious ride and
after refreshing himself ct Warrington
hotel went up to the White House and
asked to see the president. When he
was admitted he told jackson that he had
ridden all the way from Eric to Sea him.
The president asked his business and was
highly pleased when he was told that the
only object Of the visit had been
accomplished in obtaining m interview.
jackson asked where the young man was
stopping and on being told insisted on
sending down for his horse and saddlebags
and retaining him % . guest at the White
House. For . week the young Penn
hospitality. On the morning Of his
departure his horse. with the saddlebags
across his back, was led In front Of the
White House and the president came ont,
as any good old farmer would have done,
to shake hands and wish him safe journey

Cows with Broken Legs.


The American Dairyman says;
"When by any accident a horse gets
his leg broken, it is both charitable and
reasonable to kill him, for the chances
are a thousand to one that he will never
again be Of any account. With COW,
however, the circumstances alter. All
the use COW ever makes of her leg is
to carry her carcass around. Then
her bones are not SO spongy as horses
A cow, if left alone, and she is young,
will get well. and apparently not suffer
from the injury. We once owned q
lovely little Jersey heifer. One day to
our amazement, we discovered that one
of her hind legs was dangling and
broken. We were heartbrOken, and
may have shed tears, for that was
really the first .Alderney' heifer we
ever owned. We thought, of course.
she would die. and we did not know
what to do with her, SO we ordered her
put back in the lower pasture with her
calf, and had not the heart 10 ask any
thing about her. Business carried us
away every day, but at the end of two
or three weeks the heifer came up with
the herd, and while there was q slight
lump inside on the thigh where the
break occurred, and the leg was little
crooked, yet for all practical purposes
she was entirely cured. We have heard
of several similar cases, but think il
would be absolutely necessary to splint
the leg if the break occurred below the
knee or gamDrel joint. In that in
stance it might be necessary to put the
cow in sling, because if the broken
leg was front one, she could not get
up after lying down. But with COW
or calf, never give them up for broken
limbs, but call in assistance and do
something for them, if it is only to
bring them their food and water to
save them from painful exercise.

The following. prepared by an at

may well be observed:
/. Trust to no verbal lease. Let ii

stipulatiOns then become commands
and can be enforced. Let it be signed
IN duplicate. SO that each party may
have an original.
2. Insert such covenants as to repairs,
manner Of use and in restraint of waste,
as the circumstances call for. As to
particular stipulations, examine leases
drawn by those who have had long ex-
perience in renting farms, and adopt
such as meet your case.
5. There should be covenants against
assigning and undertaking.
4. If the tenant is Of doubtful rcspon-
sibility, make the rent payable in in
stalments. A covenant that the crops
shall remain the lessons till the lessee {
contracts with him have been fulfilled,
is valid against the lessee's creditors.
In the ordinary case Of renting farms
on shares. the courts will treat the
crops as the joint property of lord and
tenant, and thus protect the former i
rights.
5. Every lease should contain stip-
ulation for forfeiture and re-entry in
case of n0n-payment0 or breach Of any
of the covenants.
6. To prevent tenants committing
waste, the courts will grant an in.

Z. Above all, be careful in selecting
your tenant. There is more in the
man than there is in the bond.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

How Long Should Cows Go Dry!
At the recent Illinois dairymen' i
convention the following discussion
was had on this subject:
Mr.. johnson: l buy cows and feed
them-force them in fact, using them
up as mixers in year or two. then
fa.ten them up for market. ! let them
60 dry as short a time as possible.
Mr.. HOstetter: Cows should 20 dry
six to eight weeks. Mr.. johnson: In
the way cows are usually kept, they
should be allowed rest. Mr.. Boyd:
Much depends upon the COW. My bes,
cows are persistent mixers. have
trouble in drying them of. If moi
allowed rest. cows generally prove
POOR mixers the year succeeding
nearly full year of milking; it seems
to undermine the constitution. Mr.
Boyd added that the calves Of these
persistent mixers are liable to be weak
Mr.. Dubois: ! keep my cows as long
as they produce well, and hence prefer
to nave them 60 dry six to eigh,
weeks. Mr.: can get as much
milk in the life of good cow, by milk.
ing her nine months. as longer. Mr.,
Buell.: My cows will give milk RICH,
along up to time Of calving. What
must do-sell them and get others!
1t is not always the case heifer MIXED

accident she goes dry early in the
season that she will be ever after short
mixer. they often regain a natural
period. A calf from persistent cow,
and looking just like the dam, will b.
likely to inherit the quality. Mr.. Reed
preferred 8 to weeks rest fol

there was too mrch guess-wOrk among

They should know more regarding cos1

Hatch Your Chicks Early.


the advantages Of Matching chicks
early cannot be overestimated. Chicks
that are Matched late bring late prices,
and chicks that come out Of the shell
this month. and get in market as
broilers. bring MS high prices as grown
fowls.
The objections urged against early
chicks are that they give too much
trouble, and that those Matched late
have the privilege Of grass runs, and
take partial care Of themselves. And
so they do. They are raised much
more easily than those Matched this
month, but our readers should remem.
Der that it is not the chicks that bring
the best prices, but the trouble. When
ever chicks are raised without effort
the cost is, Of course, a small item, but
the time is then occupied by hundreds
who also prefer to perform as little
labor as possible, and the consequence
is that chicks are thrust on the market
by thousands, only to depress the mar
ket, and cause the oft-repeated asser-
ton that poultry does not pay. But
early chicks do pay, however, but they
pay only for that which is expended
and bestowed upon them BY the at
tendant. II IS claimed, again that
labor is abor, and may
well be expended in one direction ..
another without devoting it to early
chicks. That is true. but unemployed
labor is waste, and If, in winter, a saw
ing of wasted labor. and the wages
will be trebled on account of the better
prices derived for labor in that shape.
Early chicks are often worth, in
April, as much as eighty cents pound
and they are sold when about one pound
and-a-quarter in weight. It requires
no figures to show that, aside from the
care, the actual cost of food is q small
item. No doubt. alarge number Of
eggs may be required FOR the purpose
of Matching fair percentage of chicks.
but this item of loss may also be added
without fear Of diminishing the pro-
portion Of profit to be procured when
the chicks are marketed. Early chicks
are always saleable, and it costs more
to raise chicks to the weight of two
pounds at twenty-five cents y pound in
price than it does to raise one to a
pound, and with double the market
price. The real difference. as is plain
" apparent, is four times as much as
the other.-7hc Rural Home.

tions for comfort and health and Of.
ten the actual suffering brought on
by the surroundings. We can see
how it. is and has been detrimental
to education by considering few
plain facts such as the inefficiency
Of teachers, eftener in moral point
than intellectual, the political or so
cial intrigue used, and last but not
least, the ignorance and crime among
those who have been educated or rath-
er taught under this system alone;
but alas, we need not expect to gath
er figs of tnistles. We say it isdet-
rimental because SO many OF our
people give up the education OF their
children entirely to the public school
that they will not give them more
than this. 1t is detrimental because
of its short duration-one day in a
week is not sufficient to makea child
mind-neither is four or five months
sufficient to train the intellect. If
we could continue the school ten
months and made no revisions in Its
mode of government, it would still
be incompetent to meet the require
ments of true education.
Education is the child of christian
ity and government. When either
assumes control the child becomes
vagabond. Let the State and the
Church each assume its rights and
responsibilities purging our present
system from sectarian prejudice and
political intrigues, then, and not till
then, will public schools reach the
demands of the age for more thor
oughly educated christian men and
women.
