The Minister Was Not Disconcer.ed

From the Boston Record.
One ofthe ablest clergymen in Maine
had the habit of often making a pause
Of several minutes in the midst Of his
remarks. This is seldom embarras-
sing to himself or to his audience, for
when he resumes there's always some
thing good enough to Justify the wait.
One Sunday a short time since he
made an exchange of pulpits, and dur
ing his prayer he made one Of his ac-
customed pauses. The organist had
not perhaps been paying that strict
attention which organists in general
are accustomed to pay. He had no
doubt, been dreaming of some SYM
phony which has never yet been
vouchsafed TO mortals to interpret.
But the solemn silence reused him from
his reverie. Helistened. Thestillness
was gaining; the prayer was apparent
ly done. His hands sought the Keys
and music fioated upon the air. The
congregation was somewhat agitated
but not so the reverend gentleman.
He waited until the last strain died
away, and beginning, 1--WE further be-
seech thee, o Lord" went on, and
brought the prayer to its proper eon-
clusion.
Again the tones of the organ we're
heard, but this time more softly sweet
than before. The organist was low
wide awake, but he preferred to POUR
forth his soul in the minor key.

Selling shorn or Unshorn Sheep.

AT this season OF the year the fleece
on big four-year old wethers is nearly
as valuable as the carcass, and it is a
question for each to decide if this fleece
will bring more on or off the sleeps
back; and the sheep should be either
shorn or sold unshorn according to
which way promises largest returns.
This will depend entirely on the weight
and value Of the fieeces and the respec-
tive prices for shorn and unshorn
sheep. The prices for shorn and I'M
shorn sheep differ in different neighbor-
hoods, and which is the best way to
market sheep is matter for each one
to investigate and figure out for HIM
self; but it will be found in q majority
OF cases, if the sheep are kept near the
first OF April, that it is best to relieve
them of their Constitutional Stock

John McHugh, the captain OF thecom-

Ticks on Sheep.

Ticks sometimes occasion losses
among the focks when the shepherd
little suspects the cause, and this time
of the year is the time when they draw
most heavily on the vitality and
strength of the sheep. If the sheep do
not seem to improve for the amount
OF food given them, and are often found
biting and rubbing themselves, it is g.
sign that ticks are draining the blood
from their veins, and some remedy
should be employed Immediately.
SuIphur is almost a certain remedy
for these pests, and little OF it should
be given in bran or meal to all the
focks occasionally. Ifthis remedy does
not prove effectual, as soon as it be
comes warm enough the sheep should
be sheared and then dipped in tobacco
Juice, or some other dip that will an
swer the same purpose.

Grated Varieties of Fruit Trees.

The opportunity to grow different
kinds of fruit on one tree inparts a
new and delightful interest to the
orchard. The proprietor can always
be on the lookout for something new
and fine, and thefew moments required
in grating or budding make it his.
The operation is so simple and easy
that he can learn to perform it himself,
and there are always plenty of adopts
in the rural vicinage to give him his
initial lesson. While he will keep the
standard kinds for his main supply, he
can crafty his taste and eye with5ome
pretty innovations. / know of an APP
pie Tree which bears over LOO varieties.
A branch, for instance, is producing
Yellow BelEfowers. AT a certain
point in the growth where it has the
diameter OF a mans thumb it may be
grated with the Red Baldwin. When
the scion has grown for two or three
years its leading shoots can be grated
with the Roxbury Russell, and evtntu-
ally the terminal bough of this growth
with the Early Harvest. Thus may be
presented the interesting spectacle Of
one limb OF a tree yielding four very
distinct kinds OF apples.--E. p. Rec in

Earmers Out of Debt.

MANY wears ago there was Duu HuIle
capitaI to loan except by bankers.
Farm mortgages were very scarce, ana
the writer never heard OF g. chatter
morris gage until about thirty years ago.
In those DAYS farmers did not get as
rich as some of them do now, but the
greater mass of them were out OF deoU,
and lived and felt independent ana
happy. The greed with which capital
lists seek farm mortgages tempt too
many farmers to borrow money to
buy more land or to go INTO some
speculation which does not speculate.
And if they do not mortgage tnen
farm there is another class VINO go TO
town too often and are tempted by
certain tradesmen, who know ther
reliable financial character, to buy
cert ain things on credit, which could
be done without until money was on
hand. and the same article could then
be bought twenty per cent. cheaper.
Or they 90 to auction sales through
the country, and as the goods are
sold on nine or twelve months credit,
frequently things are purchased when
neither his house nor farm needed. In
this way so many farmers are always
in debt. There is always a note due
or q bill to be paid when the wheat Is
threshed, the hogs or the steers are
sold. The farmer in this way, though
he could easily be out OF debt and IN
dependent, is generally IN debt, and
greedy tradesmen crowd HIM gust at
that time, and compel him to sell at
disadvantage, or compelh him to sell to
the creditor at much below the real
value.
Farmers should determine topay as
they go, and stick to it. In this way
they will be better pleased with them
selves, their farm, the state and the
atmosphere. They will soon find they
have better neighbors, and that farm
ing is a good business after all.
The greatest difficult with farmers is
their stubborn determination to do as
they please. They will not unite to
protect themselves. Railroads are
protected by POOLS Manufacturers
are protected by mutual agreement
among themselves. They determine
the amount of production and the
price at which it shall be sold. All
branches of industry protect their IN
terests by established uniform prices.
Laborers, mechanics, operators, ETC.,
are all sustained by each other through
mechanic unions, Knights OF Labor,
etc. But the farmers refuse to protect
themselves In any way.
The first step, however, before farm
ers are independent enough to unite
and manage their own interests, Is to
economize in living, and general ex-
penses, and produce more with less
outlay until free from debt. In this
happy condition when no man can
dictate the timeo the sale of his prod
uce he can then join his neighbors in
union to control their interests.
When farmer has money in the bank,
grain in his granary, and fat steers IN
his pastures, then the time will come
when the buyer will earnestly seek his
surplus produce, and give him the
highest market price in cash. And
then the farmer can demand price
which will give him better profit on
his land and labor, or hold 1t until it
does. The agricultural editor would
greatly desire to see the farmers in a
better and more independent position
before he goes hence.-Des MOines Reg

Ernna of 1881

The Commissioner OF Agriculture
has published his statistics OF the
cereal crops of the United States for
1885. In round millions it is COM
puted as follows: Corn, 1886; wheat,
357; oats, $50. The area OF corn was
100000 acres, which indicates that
the corn in the United States only
averages 26l5 bushels per acre. Esti-
mating the corn at 33 cents per bushel,
its value would be $685., 100000.
The area Of wheat was "a 900, 900
acres, which shows the average per
acre to be 1Ob bushels. The area OF
oats was 23,O00,O00 acres, making
the average yield per acre to be nearly
81 bushels. The value OF the wheat is
estimated at 1915, 100000, and the
oats at 18O,OOO,OOO,
How continuously do farmers over
estimate their crops; before harvest
estimating their corn at sixty bushels
per acre and their wheat at sixteen to
twenty. And then after harvest re-
port to gatherers OF crop statistics
that corn and wheat did not turn out
as well as expected We believe the
corn crop OF Iowa never but once
went as high as forty bushels per acre,
according to the stateOr United States
census. The best crop Iowa ever pro
duced was that Of 1879, and taken bv
the census of 1880, when there were in
cultivation in corn in 1870, 6,616,144
acres, with a yield of 275, Ola, 247
bushels, which would be forty and one
sixth OF q bushel per acre. And vet
ever!' year farmers talk OF their corn
yielding sixty and eighty bushels per
acre. But when their corn Is nearly
all gone the next spring, they can
hardly realize what has gone with it.
The estimates are for 2615 bushels per
acre all over the United States for last
year, and we were probably not above
the average in Iowa. And vet the
farmers raise such heavy crops OF
corn, that a large majority of them
let all their stable manurego to waste.

A Dinner and a Kiss.

~ have brought your dinner, father,
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms kettle,
And lifted its shining lid.
There's not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore off his apron,
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about were visions
Full of prophetic bliss,
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopped at the sight OF a squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay,
And l thought how many shaoo"
OF life and fate We would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss. -,
