Spirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
The question has often been mooted
whether eggs shall be sold by weight
or by the dozen. We incline to the
belief that the former way is the just
one. The man who improves his
stock of hens, procures large, fine
breeds and feeds them well, gets GER
tainly better and larger eggs than he
who, like our ancestors, were content
with them as he received them.
There is a large difference in the size
Of a Plymouth Rock egg or Brahma
egg, and one of the Dunghill breed.
The latter are but little more than
half the size of the improved breeds.
A chicken fancier will pick out the
eggs of a good breed without fail, re-
lying more on size than anything
else. Ifa man goes to this expense
in getting large eggs, surely he should
receive more for them. So far, MOTTO
be outdone, he demands and receives
a fancy price for his eggs, but this
again is tough on the consumer. If
the rule of weight was established,
the fancier would soon be content to
receive the difference his eggs would
bring him on account of their extra
weight. In no other produce is this
injustice imposed. If "a farmer raises
a large, fine apple, he gets more per
dozen for them; and so with butter
and all other products Of the farm ex-
cept eggs. An egg is an egg with the
grocer, however, and he will not pay
one cent more per dozen more for
Brahma eggs, which would weigh at
least dozen and a half of those from
the common breeds of hens. All is
fish that comes into his net. This is
unjust, and should be corrected. The
farmer, however, is at the mercy of
the middle man, and must do as he
is ordered. All other trades and pro-
LESSONS set their own prices and
adopt their own rules.

Don't Hold on to Your Produce.

Jos. Harris in American Agriculturist.
If you have anything to sell, sell it
and draw it to market. If what you
have to sell is cheap, what you have
to BUY is cheap also. 1t seldom pays
to hold on to farm produce. If any
of the neighbors want little team
ing done, it will not hurt one of the
boys to do it-or the horses either.
1t will bring in money enough to
keep the library table well supplied
with agricultural, religious and liter
airy papers, magazines and books.
Start a farmers club. Test your field
and garden seeds. Make boxes for
starting plants in the house. Make
or repair frames for hot beds, re-putty
and paint the sash, and make mats
for covers. If the law and the
path-master will permit you to work
out your road-tax, by drawing gravel
do it now. And when you are doing
it, draw some for the roads and paths
about the house and barns. Take an
interest in the school, and visit it
Neglect no social, political or reli
gious duty. Study, not merely read
aOme good books. If you are ICON
stitutionally tired" wake UP. The
more you do, the more you may do
and the easier it is to do it.

Those who live in villages or in
towns, and keep only one or two cows
for family use, will find it great adj
vantage to the COW, and something
that will increase her flow of milk
greatly, to get her to drink morning
and evening bucket of milk-warm
water, thickened with bran, and a
handful of meal in it. This will be
found especially beneficial at this
time of the year; and COW, when
she once become accustomed to it,
prefers it to any other kind of drink
even to water by itself. She can be
taught to drink it by limiting her
water supply, and feeding her little
of the Cruel at a time, and gradually
making it thinner and increasing the
quantity.

Southern Resources.
Southern Lumberman.

Southern Lumberman.
Our little notice about dogwood has
brought out several communications
concerning the extent and location of
this much neglected wood 1t is a
fact that our people do not realize one
half the value of Southern resources
and it is another fact, and a very de-
plorable one, that our people, for want
OF full information in regard to the
wants OF the world of trade and the
ability of the South to supply these
wants, are just sitting down in easy
chairs, before roaring log fire, and
no doubt enjoying the Christmas holt
days to the full extent warranted by
the unmistakable coming of good
times ahead, while outside parties
are quietly meandering through our
Southern forests and among our far
ming lands, and picking upall prom
Using enterprises. We are sorry to
say it, but it is a fact, that our South
ern people, since the war have not
exhibited much more sense in part
ing with their natural resources of
wealth than the aboriginal Indians
did when they sold their lands to the
white men. 1t is really a parallel
case, and, no doubt, a hundred years
hence, we will receive from gener-
Gus public the same amount of SYM
pathy that is now poured out so eff
fuSively for Lo, the poor Indian.
Only, the untutored savage is more
deserving of the sympathy he now
receives than we will be, because in
his isolated state and his ignorance of
the requirements and possibilities of
a higher civilization he attached no
value whatever to the possession of
land and trees. His living and the
happiness. of his family and tribe
came almost entirely from the chase,
and there is no instance on record
where the Indians ever made the
white man any title, right or deed to
the game on this continent. They
simply sold, in good faith, to the
white man that part of their posses
sions which they thought they would
never need-the land and trees, re-
serving what they did need, the game.
On higher plane, our Southern peo-
pie are doing just the same thing.
Instead of developing our hidden re-
sources, they are sitting still waiting
for outsiders to come, do the work
and get the profits. Well, they are
coming, just as sure as the European
white man came to North America.
The Southern Lumberman has made
its best efforts to inform the public
fully in regard to all Southern re-
sources, and we are satisfied that to-
day there is wealth Of resource in
the South that neither we, nor the
geologist, nor the public have dream
ed of. There are many small indus
tries that will give competency to
we'll directed industry that are yet
undeveloped and unknown. In this
connection it is significant that out OF
seventy-eight subscribers received by
the Southern Lumberman during the
holidays fifty-three came from parties
north of the Ohio river. This shows
who is now taking most interest in
the development of Southern indus.

Words of Wisdom.

The more you say, the less people
remember.
The plant ofhappiness cannot thrive
without the air of cheerfulness.
The innocence of the intention
abates nothing of mischief of the ex-
ample.
Make friends with your creditors,
if you can, but never make a credi-
tor of your friend.
Many people mistake stubbornness
for bravery, meanness for economy,
and vileness for wit.
Promises made in time of affiiction
require better memory than people
commonly possess.
The misery of illness is nearly man
ifest in high life as in the rags and
filth of extreme poverty.
Deprive the people of the means of
proper subsistence, and you enslave
and destroy the nation.
Cheerfulness is an excellent. wear
ing quality. 1t has been called the
bright weather of the heart.
We should be as cheerful of our
words as of our actions, and as far
from speaking ill as from doing ill.
Those that would be safe have need
to be suspicious of the tempter. The
garrison that sounds a parley is not
far from being surrendered.
He who expresses in his conduct
justice and charity, accomplishes the
most beautiful works; the good man
is, in his way, the greatest of all ar
fists.
Public opinion is a weak tyrant
compared with our own private opin-
ion; what a man thinks of himself
that it is which determines, or rather
indicates, his fate.
1t does us good to admire what is
good and beautiful but it does us in
finitely more good to love it. We
grow like what we admire, but we
become one with what we love.
The foundation of good labor il
any sphere is good man, and al
that is done to give breadth, depti
and fullness to him will react in ulti

knowledge must be made vital il
the heart before it can blossom int
conduct, and continual passing o
right feeling into right action alone
can form a worthy character.
Men who complain the most loudl,
about the inequalities of the human
lot are generally little blind tothos
great stores of wealth and blessing
that no class can monopolize, and n,
wealth can buy.
The man who will not execute hi
