ourselves to exercise admiration as well
as fault finding. though it must be con-
fessed that the average man, as human
nature runs, enjoys listening for the
dlscordS. rather than the harmOnies of

cause he once heard him preach a SER
mon on God is love, and he gave
the wrong sound to the initial letter of
Italian and it spoiled the entire sermon
Tor him, and he would take no more
chances Of that kind. Poor fellow! We
always pitied him, not the preacher,
who knew more language in minute
than his critic will learn through all
eternity. Lyman Abbot has we'll said
in recent article:
"The sure way to make yourself
morbid is to fall into the habit of see
ing faults large and virtues little. To
be forever seeing when your boy yields
to temptation, and never discovering

to promote the faults and discourage
the virtues. a general who should
never issue bulletin to his army ex

The crop prospect east OF the Mis-
slsslppl are not as encouraging as those
west Of the river. There are COM
plaints north Of the Ohio Of lack of
rain. which to some extent retards corn
and other cereals. The maturing of
winter wheat has on the whole been
favored. Corn in Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska is in good condition. In
Iowa the crop is very fair but late.
The favoring weather of the past week
has materially aided corn and other
crops of the west. The grasshopper
scare of northern Minnesota, owing to
the prompt action of the governor, is
likely to cause no serious trouble.

SEE THE GOOD,

The teacher, of all people in the
world. needs to cultivate the habit of
admiration, aud suppress the habit of
fault finding. 1t is his business to
watch young people, to test and esti-
mate their conduct, their knowledge,
their habit of thought and power of cx-
preston, and the tendency is to see de-
fects rather than excellences, and in
consequence the tendency to look for
defects is liable to become chronic,
while he is the last man In the world
who can afford it, 1t is healthy exer-
else to see the good in men and things,
and unhealthy to see the bad, and the
teacher nerves, mind, and heart re-
quire every healthy stimulant, need to
shun every unhealthy, depressing infu-
ence. Children, and with these he has
to do, are naturally buoyant, and ad-
mire and r spect, love and cling to
that which is hopeful and cheerful, and
their memory of the teacher, their in
Ruenee through the teacher, are largely
intensified or weakened by the buoy
ancy or depressing tendency of the
teachers habitual view of them. 1t is
useless for us to say that we are SO con
stituted that We cannot help seeing the
gloomy side Of life, for We can train

The Care oIPouItry.

Don't be tempted to keep too many
fowls together. Small fiocks care fully
tended will give much better results.
Have your hen house so constructed
that the fowls may have the benefit of
all the sunlight possible.
The roosts should be low, especially
for all heavy fowls, and in the warmest
part of the house. There should be
ample meaus of ventilation without the
possibility Of a draft at night, or YOU
may look for swelled head and it's at
tendant miseries in the morning.
If you have a rooster that seems
especially attentive to a certain hen,
watch him. 1 have seen such one
stand by the nest while she was laying
her egg, and directly she left the nest he
would break the egg and call all the rest
of the hens to share in the feast. Thus
hens are taught to eat eggs.
Moisture and ventilation in artificial
Matching are two great stumbling blocks
in poultry keeping. Every man who
invents an incubator has his theory on
these points. After various experiments
/ am satisfied that more chicks are
killed by too much, than too little
moisture. l recently Matched $50
healthy chickens from 1SS fertile eggs,
and in a hot-water incubator, without
one drop of moisture until after the tenth
day, it then being supplied by three
small cups containing spOnges, which
were saturated with quite hot water, say
10 degrees at each time of turning the
eggs, night and morning The only
ventilation in the machine was supplied
by means of an inch and quarter pipe
directly in the front This was kept
tightly plugged until after the tenth day.
and yet we have a brood of chickens
worth going long way to see.
OF course if one is operating a self
regulating lamp machine, moisture is
necessary from the start, because the
opening and closing of the ventilator
naturally causes a dryness in the
machine, but how to supply just the
right amount is ''poser."

Swamp Hay For Heaves.

A Massachusetts, correspondent of Farm
Life reports an experience with horse
seventeen years old in 1880 and afflicted
with heaves, which has nevertheless
done hard work every season since as the
result of the course of feeding described
as follows:
''Having learned that swamp hay or
hog grass. on account of not being so
dusty, was better for heavey horse than
upland hay. l determined to feed him
swamp hay with grain enough to make
the quality equal to that of upland hay.
He is apparently better horse to-
day than when 1 bought him eight years
ago. His food has been dry meal or
feed. corn and oats ground together)
and swamp hay all the time, except in
in the winter of 1886, for a while when
having plenty of good hay for my sheep
and not quite SO much swamp hay as !
wanted for mulching my fruit, l gave
him upland hay. Soon the. horse began
to cough and exhibit other symptoms of
heaves, and although l tried many re-
needles he got no relief so long as he was
fed the upland hay. Last fall 1 again
put him on the swamp hay ration. ]
give him all he wants to eat of it with
ground corn and oats enough to keep him
in good condition. | have not heard
him cough for several months and he
now shows no sign Of heaves. Whether
it is the swamp hay itself, or some herb
contained in it, such as boneset or
thoroughwort, that benefits him, l do
not know; but that he has been greatly
helped either by the swamp hay or the
swamp weeds, / am positive"
