TEACHING FRueALlTX.

How Dutch Businoas Man Taught His
Fs'.. a Lesson.
The weaign Of Holland and the great
commercial prosperity Of that country
about two hundred years ago were
built up by parsimonious frugallty,
which for a long time marked the char
actcr of the Dutch. This habit gave
place to luxury when wealth had been
secured. The clergy used to rebuke
the growing extravaganza, and a
French writer tells how successful
business man taught his fellows a les.
son:
Before retiring from business and
taking leave of his friends in the city,
he invited them to dine with him. The
guests, on arriving at his residence.
were surprised to see the extraordinary
preparations that had been made for
their reception. On plain oak table,
covered with blue cloth, were some
wooden plates, spoons and drinking YES
sells Presently two old seamen
brought in dishes containing herring
some fresh, others s;llted or dried.
OF these the guests were invited to
partake; but it was clear that they had
littlo appetite for such poor fare, and,
with considerable impotence, they
awaited the second course, which con.
sisted of salt beef and greens. This
also, when brought in, they did moi
seem to relish.
At last the blue cloth was removed
and one OF fine white damas6 substi-
tuted; and tlso guests were agreeably
surprised to see a number Of servants
in gorgeous livories, enter with the
third course, which consisted OF every
thing necessary to form most stump
tuous banquet The master Of the
house then addressed his friends in the
following terms:
"Such, gentlemen, has been the
progress of our Republic. We begar
with short frugality, by means Of which
VIC became wealthy; and we end will
luxury, which will beget poverty. W.
should, therefore be satisfied with oul
beef and greens, that we may not have
to return to our behring's. Youth q

Taking care Of the tools and Inn
plements is one Of the best modes Of
economizing on the farm. The value
of the tools annually deprecated from
lack OF cleaning, oiling and exposure
TO weather, is enormous.
"A mortar, which it is claimed viii
stand in all sorts of weather, is made
Of one bushel of unslaked lime and
three bushels of sharp sand, to which
is added one pound OF alum mixed with
one pint OF linseed oil. The alum will
counterfeit the action OF frost on the
mortar.
If food be not given until after the
usual time, the animal is apt to eat too
fast; the material from the previous
meal has been exhausted, and as a re-
suit vitality is lowered, leading to inn
perfect digestion and assimilation,
while the stores of the body have been
drawn on to furnish the material neces-
Bary to vital action.
The best of us make mistakes. and
What wonder is it that our boys, with
their high spirits and their ignorance
of the world, blunder and get into
scrapes pretty oftenP But it is cause
of rejoicing if either father or mother
can get hold on young heart which
leads 1t to them to open its worst re-
cesses to their loving eyes.-The

BY far the greater part of poultry
diseases are on the outside and their
names are hen lice and mites and
spiders. The best remedies are buhach
and kerosene. the former TO be used on
the fowls and the latter on the perches,

These two substances give us absolute
control of the insects that infest poul-
Try houses, and consequently control
Of the so-called diseases resulting from
insects.
Too much corn is used by poultry
men, and not enough wheat, oats,
barley, middlings, bran and green
food Clover rowen for winter use Is
valuable, owing to the large percent
age of albumen it contains. Variety
of food is essential to the well-being
and productiveness of fowls. The
