THE THING WENT OFF.

A Young Girl Narrowly Escapes
Getting Into Trouble at Church.
Recently at Oconee Church, when
the prayer for the mourners was
being offered up by the pastor, the
sound Of an igniting match was
heard in q corner Of the house.
After prayer was over and before the
benedicsion was pronounced the
pastor said:
"If the young man who struck
that match will come forward after
service and acknowledge it, or say il
was accidental, we will excuse him.
but if he does not there is q man in
this house who will sift it out, and
ID will cost him more than one
thousand boxes of matches at whole
SALE" This seemed TO fall like q
bomb ver the people, and all eyes
were turned to whence the sound
came. After the b%enediction a
young man came forward and told
the pastor that it was g young lady
who had struck the match. On &C.
ing her the pastor asked: How
did it happen that you struck that
match, my sister,"
"Well. sir, l had q match In my
hand, and not thinking what I was
doing, rubbed il on q bench and be-
fore / knew II the thing went off"
OF course she vas excused, as the
act was only q mishap, and purely
unintentional.
We are informed that during o
service in one of the churches in this
city several years ago mar
thoughtlessly struck q match during
prayer, which disturbed the wor.
shippers. This act cost that young
man over $500 before he got through
with 1t. 1t is q serious thing to dis
turbpublic worship. Athens (Ga) !.

AGRICULTURAL.



About the poorest stuff that appears in
the city agricultural papers is that which
undertakes TO tell farmers what they may
do-in other words, TO set them at work
to tell them what they can find to do at the
beginning Of winter what in midwinter
what in the spring what in summer what
in autumn what in rainy weather what
in fair weather to tell them what they can
do early in the morning, and what they
should not do late in the evening how this
and that should be done exactly at the
proper time, and how hundred specified
Jobs should be promptly attended to with
ont fail To perform the labor which these
city editors kindly lay out for one poor far
mer would require at least a dozen men,
md vet they lecture him for not taking
more time for reading and study for not
attending more public meetings for not
having more holidays etc, etc. Now, the
last thing that a farmer needs to be told /:
how he can find something to do on the
farm. That is always sufficiently obvious
There is always plenty of work to he done
There is rarely a farmer that does not at
all times know Of a score Of things that he
would like to do. but which, with the meant
at his command. he cannot do. He works
himself. harder than he ought, and perhaps
employs help at a loss and still there ap
pears to he much that is left undone. Pray
do not insult him, city editor Of the agricul
tural column. by trying to tell him what hi
can find to do on the farm.

Incren.e of TnNnIion.

Probably farmers pay larger proportion
Of taxes. according to the actual amount OF
property owned by them, than any other
class For this there are two reasons-the
taxation Of the mortgager of farm for
the full amount of its assessed valuation,
and the fact that other classes have, on an
average, more property exempt. If, then,
any class Of people have special reason to
complain Of the rapid increase of the ex-
penditures Of the state. il is the farmers.
If. as in other states. the duties Of our off
cials had become more onerous in conse-
ouence Of the growth of the state, there
would Ice some reason for a corresponding
increase Of salaries but here the burden
of the Office in several notable instances in
which the increase Of salary has been great
est is actually less than it was forty years
ago In proportion to the size and wealth
of the state, Vermont now pays for nearly
all the places in her government much more
than is paid for the same grade of service
in New York
Few persons are aware what a steady up
ward tendency there has been to official
salaries. We hnd in an old book-a history
Of Vermont by Nathan Hoskins-published
in 1881. the following statement Of the cost
of the state government at that time. In
1870 the grand list was 81, S34 $50. Three
cents on the dollar was generally voted for
the support of the government. The sum
paid into the treasury for taxes that year
was $50. 942. 36, and 81, $50. 90 was derived
from other sources, making the total reve-
nue. of the state $40, 492 -. Taking the
census Of 1880. the annual sum which each
individual in the state paid for the protec
tion of his person and property and the
advantages Of a free government was about
~ cents Among the salaries paid out by
the state the governor had 500, each OF
the Judges $1,000, secretary $3.50 treasurer
800. secretary to governor and counci
$3.50 The historian adds: 80 long as the
government continues economical in its ex
peuditures, the freedom of the country may
be preserved Large salaries and prodiga
emoluments are productive of ruinous con
troversies and political intrigues.
1t will be seen that the grand list of tn,
state was about the same in 1880 that it il
now, hut much larger than it was for man!
years before the inventory law went int
effect. The total expense of the state gov
eminent was then little less than $50, 00
annually. Now the appropriations for tn
support of the state government for tn
two years ending June 30, 1890, amount /
$l.1j0, 000-more than eleven times a
much, annually, as it cost in 1880. An
vet in 1880 the grand list of the state, with
cat the aid of the iron-clad inventory SEIZED
ue, was about the same that it is in 1888

In discussing the "the changing charac-
ter of milk by feeding, Mr.. A. W. Cheever,
in the New England Farmer, says 1T is
true nothing comes from the udder which
has not first gone in at the mouth. Normal
milk can not long be obtained unless the
COW is given such food as will supply the
COW with all the ingredients found in nor
NAL milk. Take away the bone material
from the food, and the COW will supply it
for a while from the horns and bones of her
own body, but she can not do this long
Take away the heterogeneous element from
the food and the COW will for while supply
the deficiency from her own muscles. Feed
so little heat producing food in the winter
that the COW must stand and shiver with
the cold and the fat in her milk viii in part
burn up in the body, leaving the milk thin
and poor. Fill up again with heat-supply
ing food and the milk will be normal again
Food. water shelter aud kind treatment all
exert an influence on the quantity and quail
| ity Of milk. No one denies this, but what
is denied is that a COW can be made to run
butter or cheese, or milk sugar at will, tc
any practicable extent, merely by changing
the composition of her food In a limited
sense the COW is a milk machine, but sh,
cannot be run as cheese machine by feed
ing pea meal or hens eggs, nor into a butter
| factory by filling her paunch with oil inca

Win, neaienI SCIENCE mnr We, DO.

The science and practice of medicine and
surgery are undergoing a revolution of
such magnitude and Importance that its
limits can hardly be conceived Looking
into the future, in the light of recent dis
coveries it does not seem impossible that a
time may come when the cause Of every
infectious disease will be known; when all
such diseases will be preventable or easily
durable when protection can be afforded
against all diseases, such as scarlet fever
measles yellow fever whooping cough
etc, in which one attack secures immunity
from subsequent contagion when, in short
no constitutional disease will be incurable
and such scourges as epidemics will be un
known. These, indeed may be but part
of what will follow discoveries in bacter
ology. The higher the plane of actua
knowledge, the more extended is the hori
zon. What has been accomplished within
the past ten years, as regards knowledg,
of the causes, prevention and treatment OF
disease, far transcends what would hav,

From the Minneapolis Pioneer Press
have Just returned from brief visit to
my old home among the mountains and
granite hillsides of New Hampshire. The
average farm in that country is say 100
acres, Of which perhaps 10 to 20 acres may
be called in a sense arabic. On the old
homestead which | visited found growing
say one half acres Of oats, three-quarters
of an acre of corn, one-quarter TO one half
acre of wheat. few potatoes, and a small
garden. Not TO exceed 20 acres had been
mown, and the hay nicely slowed away in
the barn The buildings were in excellent
repair, and both inside and outside were as
neat as could be desired. In the woodshed
noticed nicely stored away years supply
of fuel. The man who owns the place did
not inherit it, nor, If | remember rightly,
any other farm. The farm is a fair sample
Of the average in that township, - miles
from the nearest railway station, and no
manufacturing village in the vicinity. II
is purely an agricultural district, and not
considered 10y any means first class even in
that state There are no mortgages on
those farms, and almost every proprietor
has some little money at interest
The world is led to believe that the wheat
capacity of the Northwest is inexhaustible
The fact is that northern Minnesota and
Iowa have suffered whereas the average
wheat yield used to be 90 bushels to the
acre. and farms produced as high as 40
bushels in the Red river valley, the average
yield of the state now is but 10 bushels 1t
costs SO to raise an acre of wheat. Where
is the profit The history of wheat farm
ing in other portions of the country is this
The prairie lands, the first year they are
| broken, will yield 20 bushels This, per
haps, pays for the farm The second year
it is a little better This pays for the ma
chinery and buildings The third year it
falls off somewhat. The fourth year is still
worse. The sanguine farmer says, "Well,
this is a bad year, and tries it again. 1t is
still worse, and so on till the farms are ac-
tually mortgaged for the living expenses.
