FARM and HOSEHOLD.
CULTURED FARMERS.
WHY THEY ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL
THAN THEIR IGNORANT.
NEIGHBORS.


An educated farmer, used to
reading and study, thought, reason
ing, and all the mental culture by
which knowledge is gained, has a
clearer insight into common things
than one whose mind has been un-
cultivated. We go into the highly
cultivated corn field and see the
strong stalks, the deep green
leaves, the great ears which load
the plants, and we then pass on to
the poor patch in which the farmer
has never put a hoe, and we see
miserable, stunted plants, yellow
and diseased, hidden by mass OF
perniciOus weeds which take all the
nutriment there is in the soil. Is
not this a plain picture of two men,
one whose mind has been enriched
by useful knowledge, while that of
the other has been left in ignorance!
The one is fruitful Of useful
thoughts, able to Judge well OF
practical matters; to reach WISE
conclusions; to curb evil tendencies,
to us. selfrestraint, and to reach
the highest aims IN life. The other
Is barren of ideas believes all the
common superstitions OF the lgno-
rant; guides his affairs by impulse
and not by Judgment, has a bind
belief in what he thinks he knows,
and a scorn for all knowledge
gained from books and intelligent
study. Aud which of these two
men will make the better farmer.
We were recently in Southern
locality where the farming Is the
poorest aud the farmers as poor as
their work, where the wretched
cabins for the greater part had no
windows, the logs were unchlnked,
and the Gland pike hogs lay
around the mud puddle at The door.
There was a schOol-hOuse which
was Kept open for a few weeks IN
the season when there was no farm
work doing. The teacher of this
school, who was little above the
average, had incidentally remark
ed TO her scholars in regard to the
recent eclipse of the moon that the
earth was rOund and moved around
the sun and the moon moved
around the earth. For this in
credible statement the teacher was
discharged forthwith, with a eau
tiou not TO teach such nonsense as
that any more, by the barefooted,
ragged director, who was the lead
ing authority upon all such ques-
tons IN the vicinity. This school
and its euvirons matched, and in
all cases, bad or good, the school
and the farming and the circum-
stances of the people match, for it
5 the we'll cultivated mind that
makes the good aud prosperous
farmer, and where the clean, neat
schOol-house, the church, tile farm.

ally known when the Gate City had
set out on its wonderful career OF

has for years manufactured and

the uninterrupted and unyield.lng
success and increasing use and pop

became famous.
1t is too late in the day to re-.
count with brevity the long and IN.
varying triumphs OF this sovereign
tonic, and 1t IS much too late to
question its undOubted efficiency
and merit. Other preparations
have been brought into being by
the needs of human woe. Some OF
these have been meritorious and
have met the expectations and
claims built upon them. Others
have been fallacious. Some of
them have survived. Others have
disappeared-have gone under by
their own gravity or been swept
away by superior remedies. To
tho sterling and established repute |
of S. S. S., of course the fate of |
other efforts could mean nothing.
Their success could not abate that
of the $. s. S., and their failure
could give it no wider field for It's

and so universally successful could
well afford to submit to all tests.

MARRIED BUT NOT MATED.

The most observed guests at the
hot Is are those married couples in
which the man is old and the wo-
man is young. There are always
many of them at Saratoga. They
are always the same combination
"a rich widower who marrles a
poor and pretty girl. Money Will
buy nearly everything on earth,
and a handsome wife IS not one OF
the exceptions. 4 married pair SIT

window as | write. He il GO, and
there isn't romantic hair among
the gray of his head or whiskers.-
He has a capacious paunch. lie
can see his legs now, for they are
laid comfortably out in a chair, but
he couldn't get full view OF them
standing. He has to use spectacles
IN reading his newspaper. Ills
entire aspect is one OF plethoric old
age. She is 20, and she is an
embodiment Of youthful freshness.
She was a working girl in a millin-
cry store, at Sc week, until two
years ago. Then the pOrtly old
sexagen2rian offered marriage to
her, ard so she is now Saratoga
belle.
"Why shouldn't she be salts.
Ged p he said yesterday to a crony
OF his own age. "She has luxury
in the place of poverty. Does she
love mel No; or at least not in
romantic way. / don't expect her
to. She respects me, she respects
herself, and she won't get into any
scandal. Now, John, you're rich
widower, and | sincerely advise
you to buy aJoung handsome wife.
Be careful to pick out a sensible
girl, who has had to work hard for
living, and who, therefore, will
appreciate good fortune. Don't
make love to her. There's a girl
who might do"
1t was in the Indian Grove, where
children and nursemalds abOunded.
A particularly pretty maid, in a
white cap and apron, WAS taking a
five cent ride on one Of the dOnkeys
kept for rent to the children. She
was as pretty as picture, and her
position made her plqnante.
"rhat nurse girl Is sort of
governess for some children for a
friend of mine," the matter of fact
man continued. "She has enough
education to be very intelligent,
she has acquired nice manners by
service in a cultured family, and
she only lacks the clothes to be a
lady. Marry her old fellow, and
life will be worth living again.

ABUSING THE TEAMS.

Il never pays to abuse stock Of
any kind, and especially the work
teams and the milk COWS. During
the hot weather Of summer with
the pressing work of finishing up
the cultivation Of the corn and pO-
ta;OeS, and the necessary work Of
harvesting tue crops, the teams are
kept hard at work, and unless
special care is taken, they will run
down considerably. And if in ad-
dition to this they are constantly
abused, as is often the case, GER
tainly the fate of the poor animals
Is TO be pitied, to say the least.
There is no occasion for mistreat-
ing a dumb brute. The abuse may
not always consist in using the
whip, kicking OF beating. Failing
to feed properly, to rest when
needed, TO water sufficiently often,
so they will not suffer for the want
OF it; compelling them to work in
illftting harness, or Obliging them
70 pull a heavier load than they
are really capable Of, are just as
much an abuse as to beat or kick.
Feed sufficiently early IN the morn
ing to give them plenty of time to
eat let them rest and eat at noon,
and then quit work sufficiently
early az night 70 give time to prop
crly feed aud bed. They ought to
b- made as comfortable as possible.
Have q good supply Of water; not
Only what they want but also when
thee want il.
See that che harness fits SO that
they will work easily, aud at every
opportunity favor them as much as
possible. Some men work . team
with the idea of getting all out OF
them 10 is possible to secure. An
other works TO save his team as
much as possible. One abusing
his team, ana the other treating it
bumauely.
IL is easy to seriously injure a
team az this time, and it hardly
pays to run the risk with valu-
able horse or two in order to do
ii.ta little more work than is
reasonable to expect. The injury
OF loss OF a good horse will often
bc more than the profit on a crop
and it is certainly poor economy to
risk the loss to save only portion.

NO BEER AT COLUMBUS CEN
TFNNlAL.

Rev. n. b. G. Love, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in
Upper Sandusky, Ohio, says:
Dear sir, when recently read in
the Cincinnati papers the state
ment that the Cincinnati ExpOsl-
ton had sold the privilege to GER
tain parties to sell beer during its
continuance on their grounds, in
consideration of the sum of S2l,-
600, | Immediately called upon
Hon. L. b. Harris, treasurer of the
Ohio Centennial to be held at
Columbus, OHIO, Sept. 4th to Oct.
18th, and asked bin if the sale of
beer would be permitted on their
grounds during their exposition
He replied, he thought not, but
would let me know in a few days,
and that he was decidedly opposed
to il, and as treasurer had so ex-
pressed himself, although many
thousand dollars had been offered
for the privilege. lie immediately
wrote to the management and re-
ceiyed the following, which he
authorized me to have published In
the papers of the state;
GAS to the sale of beer, that You
may reply positively to the in
Quirles of ministerial friends, the
Board at its last meeting resolved
unanimously to exclude the sale
of beer from the centennial priv
ileges. All contracts for privi-
leges provide that the people shall !
be furnished with pure, wholesome
goods or food at reasonable prices,
and shall not permit Spirltuous,
vinous, or malt liquors to be con
cealed, exhibited, sold, or gwen
away from his place of business
upon the grounds. We think this
sufficiently plain to satisfy even
ministers. Very truly yours.
j. W. FLEMING, Asst, Sec'y.
We are satisfied, and hope that
all friends of temperance, as well
as ministers, will see to it that the
Ohio Centennial at Columbus is
emlnently successful in its efforts
to illustrate the progress and ciyili-
zation of the state of Ohio.
