We are of those who believe that
could the farmer, at this season OF
the year, take vacation of two to
three4weekss get away from work
and from al his ordinary surround
ings, tuck his wife under his arm
and ramble into parts heretofore
unknown, it would be moro than
conducive to his health and happi-
ness and to that of his wife. 1t
would add n now interest to life,
would awaken in them new sensa-
tions and realIzations, change for
the time being the current of their
thoughts and the subjects and OBJ
jects on which they ordinarily
dwell would open their eyes, ex-
pand their lungs, improve their d.
gcstion, increase their circulation,
and largely help to rejuVInate
them. Such a trip would add new
interest TO home affections. Our
farmers go from home far to sell
dom, and particularly for the pur-
pose of again counting their wives,
and ofaffording them another taste
of the days gone by.
They both work like slaves all
the ycarround, arc worse task mas
tiers than was Pharaoh, and meaner
slave drivers than Mrs. Stowe ever
pictured. They work day in and
day out worse than any task mas
ter would ever think of making
them, and have less pleasure than
their beasts of burden. And what
have they to show for it but ill
health, constant worry, bad tenn
pers and general cross purposes.
Suppose such a trip does cost a
pair of steers or two good colts, it
is money well invested, at good in
tercst in a sound bank and with no
uncertainty of paying back both
principal and interest. Try it,
brethren. Run away some where,
anywhere, so long as 1t is five
hundred or a thousand miles from
home, and you cannot go back to
see that supper is ready or the
teamasfeld. = Colemans Rural
World.

ANorgER BoGus.-The question

ANOTHER BoGUs.-The question
of adulterated foods acquires fresh
interest just now with The arralng-
ment OF two of the leading grocery
firms in Boston for sale of doctor
ed molasses. The substance used
is salt OF tin, which gives brilliancy
and cIearnSss TO the molasses. Half
gram OF this substance introduc-
ed into the veins of dog will Kill
in twelvs hours. Its action on the
the stomach is not SO virulcnt, but
twenty-four grains will kill . dog.
II seems that the custom of using
this poison has been in vogue more
or less for many years. 1t also
settles into the sugar at the bottom
of the hogshead of molasscs, which
issold to dealers and confcctioners,
and so must find its way into can
dieg. As TO molasses, it followed
upon the use of glucose, which was
begun in The era of high prices af-
ter the war, and has been kept up
ever since. Glucose itself is harm
less, though it is q fraud upon the
consumer; but the line has got to
be drawn at the salt of tin.-Coun-
try Home.

Warden Green from cutting off the

spoke about woman suffrage:
"Take my word for it, the great
body of women will always dc
just what they want to do; when
ever they want TO vote they will
vote, and no power on earth will
stop them" Kate is about right
on that. Women all tho world

THE wIPgS SHARE.

No class of men, says the Home
and Farm, are more indebted to
their wives for the success that
comes to them than are the farm
ers. The wife and the mother who
has the courage to go out with the
husband OF her choice and COM
mence the struggle of life with
him on the prairie, or on a new
farm, with but little capital except
that boundless capital of head and
heart, is worthy to stand by the
Spartan woman on whom the poets
have exhausted their words of
praise. Upon her falls the brunt
of the strife, no matter how hard
the husband may toll; his work
closes, with the day but hers con.
tinues long after, and with her
children and the small chores that
many of the beginners look after,
her lot is not to be envied. And
whom after years of struggle, sue
cess, with reluctant feet, comes to
crown tho husband with honor,
the biggest wreath should adorn
the brow of the noble wife who
was the stay and anchor, the COM
fort and source of all hope in the
stormy days of trial. The wealth
should crown her queen. We hear
much of the men. We hear that
so-and.so is making money, and he
gets the credit of being a forehand
man, but it is quite as often the
noble little woman, who has toiled
and complained not, who has saved
and murmured not, is the one to
whom the state and nation is most
greatly indebted. These are the
sFomen who lead men up TO that
higher and nobier manhood, to that
shrine where, like knights of old,
they bend the knee of homage, not
to beauty, but to worth and royal
manhood.

THE HAPPY FARMER.

II there is any situation truly
envIable it is that of tho farmer
who sits so constantly beneath his
own humble cottage roof at even,
tive, surrounded by all that goes
to make life comfortable and hap.
py who by his own unaided exer.
tions has established for himself q
respectable place in society, who
commenced in poverty, and has
been able, by his own skill and
perseverance to overcome every
obstacle, and can at last, after
months and years of honest toll,
vanish every prejudice and build
up for himself a reputation which
is above price and above rcproach.
And let it be remembered that
this situation is attainable by all
who have health, and honest pur.
poses, and n practical knowledge
of their business. 1t even does q
city chaps heart good to take q
ramble in the country occasionally
and behold the lords of nature
clothed IN the coarse honest garb
of the farmer. 1t does ones heart
good TO see a merry sunburned
farmer going about his work so in.
dependent, yet so free from vanity
and pride. He never turns the
rich or poor from his hospltablo
door without q kind or courteous
word. There are n thousand no.
Bile traits about him which light up
his character. He will do you a
kindness without expecting a re.
turn by way of compensation. 1t
is not so with everybody. He is
generally more honest and sincere,
less disposed to deal in low and
undetermined cunning than many
we could name. He gives 10 So
c,ety its best support; he is the
edifiee of government and tho lord
of nature.
