a japanese proyerb says that
friend at hand is better than all YOUR
relations at a distance, so little money
in your pocket is better than all the
credit in the world. 1t is astonishing
sometimes how much a little money
will buy, and equally surprising how
quickly a bill reaches a hundred, and
yet We may have little to show for it.
One purchasing on credit buys rashly
aad generously; he does not think of
pay day, which SEEMS far off, certain
like death. but as remote and intangi-
bic. 1t is so easy to buy things IN this
way, n hardly stops to count the cost,
by this method 1t almost seems as if all
the things we covet grew on trees, and
all we had to do was to put out our
hands. we seem to he red and clothed
as If by "A miracle, and it is surely A
miracle if we pay the bill due in due
season. To contract a bill Is to con.
tract an obligation, to give another the
advantage; We believe that half the
forgeries and embellishments in the
country are the direct result of debt.
Half the paralysis and heart disease
which ends mems lives in their heyday
may be traced to the worry consequent
upon debt, worry kills more people than
work, or love, OIL any disease. 1t writes
wrinkles in the face, 1t discolors the
skin, makes the hair fall out and en-
courages dyspepsia.

There is a sublimity in patience.
To do a thing, and, when needed, keep
doing it., to wait for the desired end,
not sluggjshly, but diligently, If neces-
sary. nor de~spondingly, but ever with
Il brave hope-this Is grand character.
To live as If each day must be our
last, would paralyze all effort, and
would forbid all hope and planning for
the future. To live as If each day
might be our last would tend to keep
us sober and earnest and careful and ac-
tive.
Duty is the power which rises with
us in the morning, and goes to rest with
IS at night. 1t is so co.extensive with
the action of our intelligence. 1t Is the
shadow which cleaves to us, 60 where
we will, and which only leaves us when
we leave the light of life,
Idleness is the hotbed of temptation,
the cradle of disease, the waster of
time, the canker worm Of felicity. To
him who has no employment, life in a
little while will have no novelty ; and
when novelty is laid In the grave
the funeral of comfort will soon follow.
There is nothing purer than honesty;
nothing sweeter than charity nothing
warmer than love nothing richer
than wisdom !; nothing brighter than
virtue nothing more steadfast than
faith.

OBSERVATIONS at Rothamsted, the
celebrated farm of Sir John b. Lawes.
in England, snow that with an annual
rainfall of a little less than thirty-two
inches each acre of land receives over
fourteen pounds of pure chlorine every
year in the ~rain-water, or as much
chlorine as is contained in twenty-four
pounds of common salt. The sulphuric
acid which the soil receives from the
same u amounts to upward of
seventeen pounds per acre annually,
and the ammonia between two and
three pounds. Thus 1t will be seen
that the rain possesses distinct f~ertiliz-
ing properties apart from the necessary
moisture which it supplies.

THE basis OF stock-breeding and the
dairy should be permanent pastures
aud meadows. How 10 obtain these
and retain then is the question. In
some places, OH alluvial lands. or
bottom lands, the answer is easy-by
letting them alone, and occasionally
sowing a little seed in thinned-out
places. or scattering a little horse
manure over such spots. In such soils
it is natural for the grass to be retained,
and it may last for a lifetime or a
century. On up-lands it is more diff
cult to keep land in grass without its
killing out in the winter. This inclina-
ton Is more common with some kinds
of grasses than it is with others.

FARM NOTES.

No garden is complete without the
tomato. but while it is a sure bearer.
ard does well under adversely, yet the
best fruit is obtained when 1t is treated
somewhat like a vine or tree. IL is a
gross feeder, and requires plenty of
nouIishment. The ground should be
we'll prepared and manursd, and the
Young plant well fcrtiiized, after it
begins to grow, around the base of the
trunk. 1t may be pruned and trained
to stakes, and as it will also grow from
cuttings it also quickly provides itself
with an abundance OF roots. When
putting out the young plants let the
roots 90 in deep. If only the roots OF
the plants be left out Of the ground it
will be much better than shallow set
ting. Tie the vines 10 stakes, cut out
tie laterals if they be too thick, and
keep IL close watch for the large green
worm. Celery is another garden IA
vorite with those who delight In a
choice article, 1t is also Il gross feeder,
and takes all the manure that a be
given 1t. If the plants lie properly
earthed up as they reach a suitable
size, instead of waiting until TREY shall
be fully grown before 60 doing, a small
patch will entail but little labor. y
special fertilizer for celery is s%Oapsuds,
and If these he used in connection with
manure a good crop may be expected.
such crops as sugar, corn and cabbage
do not really belong ill a garden. but
only the early kinds should be used for
the garden if such crops he desired.
Radish is a special garden crop, and
may he grown till late in the season, as
there are varieties adapted for all the
growing months Of the year, A small
patch Of strawberries, with raspberries
along the fence, should have been ar
ranged before now; but as soon as the
warm season shall open well the egg
plants should not lie overlooked, as
only a few plants will be ssquired for
the supply of any average family. As
soon as the green peas shall be off spade
the ground and follow with, string
beans; but put in An ealy lot and if
space allow do not miss lima beans.
Peppers. parsley. Jeeks thyme and the
like are garden crops, and are to be
found in all established gardens. Keep
the hoe well employed, so as not to
allow the grass or weeds to appear, and
especially must weeds be prevented
from seeding.
