Josh Billings's Philosophy.

A tru friend IL one who ant afrade
to tell us ov our faults.
Tru generosity konsists in knowing
when to give and when not to.
Health IL like mummy; we never have
a true idea ov its value until we loze
it.
The man who has sworn not to for
give has uttered the wust oath he kan
take.
There haz been no man kreated yet
who haz been superior to all others in
everything.
The most dangerous person in this
world IL the one with the most talents
and the least virteu.
Real poverty, that Gums upon us
from no faultov our own, is the most
greavous thing to bear.
If you are going to help a man do it
rite off. Promised help loozes one.half
its aroma by evaporashun.
Genius seems to be the fakulty ov
doing thing excellently we'll that no.
body supposed could be done at all.
There IL in sum men a CRATE deal ov
humor that IL like the frolik in a pup

One CRATE difference between a phool

thing he sees, but the wize man looks
upon most things in this world as per-
fectly ridikilous.

ssRlack Heads.sS

A correspondent troubled with 'black
heads" asks for lotion. They should
be pressed out either with the thumb
nails or q watch key. The operation is
likely to cause some congestion of the
skin, hence the face should be bathed
with water as hot rs it can be born. AS
n rule, those who have blackheads are
sparing of the use of soap, which ought
to be used quite freely by them. La
dies who object to it might use instead,
borax water, or water to which bran is
added. Twice daily the following To-
ton may be applied: Ether, one ounce;
carbonate of ammonia, one drachm;
boracic acid one scruple; water sufficient
to make two ounces. This should be
applied after tile ''black heads" have
been pressed ont and the face has been
bathed in hot water. Boston Herald.

winter Barley.

Some thirty years ago winter barley
came highly recommended as prof Ia
BILE crop in places where winter wheat
had then lately failed on account of the
weevil. Itwas at this time quite ex-
tensively grown near Cincinnati. in
Ohio, and also in Kentucky and Ten
nessee. But experience soon showed
that it could not stand severe freezing,
as wheat could, and after one years
trial its culture was abandoned. The
Winter oats grown in some southern
states are, VIC apprehend, equally I'M
fitted for northern climates. The
truth is, the south cannot grow spring
oats or barley, as the grain rusts so
badly. BY sowing them in the fall
and trusting to luck to their wintering
safely, some kind OF a crop may be
expected. There is home use for all
and more than all the oats the south
can grow, but it can never complete
successfully with the north in growing
barley

Comparative Land Elevations.

How sad it is to have a good old
tradition tumble down on itself! For
instances: Visitors at the Pixies Peak
observatory have for years been regal
ed with the statement that "this is the
highest point on the globe which is
inhabited the year round" 1t now
appears that regular meteorological
observations are made on the Andes,
in Peru, at height OF 14,300 feet,
which is about two hundred feet high
err than the Pixies Peak station. In
Europe there are but two stations at
any considerable height, these being
about ten thousand and eleven thou
sand feet, respectively.

FARM And HOME.
small Farm, Valuable,


The margin Of profit in grain crops
at least, is now so small that there is
no gain in adding acre to acre in the
hope that r larger area in crops will
increase the profit. Whatever extern
sion OF acreage is made is almost nec-
essarily at the expense of the yield,
and very slight decrease in the crop
per acre is now sufficient to take away
all profit and entail positive loss. On
every large farm there is more or
less land that its owner would really
be better without, though in most
cases it would be difficult to convince
him of the fact. Sometimes it is said
that farmers should concentrate their
efforts on few acres, and let the rest
lie in grass and produce what it will
with little or no expense. These less
productive portions of farm swell its
acre ge, and possibly give their owner
a comfortable feeling that he is doing
an extensive business, but it is not SO
much Of satisfaction when he finds
that he could have more money if own
ing fewer aci es.
There is too general lack of faith
in the capacity of land for improve
ment in its ability to produce. Farm
ers set the limit far too low. Only
market gardeners and fruit grow ers
have any adequate idea of the amount
OF money that can be made from a
small place. When five, ten, or even
twenty acres are mentioned, the gen.
eral idea is that farmer cribbed and
confined in so small an area will do
we'll il he can get living. And by
the usual attending circumstances this
view is correct. The farmer who linn
its his efforts TO so small an area as
this generally does SO because he has
not money to buy more. In most cases
the small farmer is as heavily in debt,
proportionately, as he who owns a
much larger area. Yet it is over his
few acres rather than his large debts
that the small farmer is most apt TO
chafe. He complains that he has not
land enough to do anything with, and
II he can not buy more he will rent or
work some neighbours land on shares.

watering with Cold Water,

Great injury is often done to house
and garden plants by dousing cold
water from the well or thrown from
hydrants over dooryards; but as it is
sprayed, it is more or less warmed by
contact with the the air before it
reaches the leaves. and still more be-
fore it goes down to the roots of tn 9
grass. The plants that are most apt
TO need watering, melons and cucum-
bers, need heat even more. To pour
water of 20 to 80 degrees lower tenn
perature than the surrounding air
about their roots gives the plants a
chill, which more than counterbalances
any good the watering may have
done

Hard Churning.

Sometimes, when you have had a
big churning and were in u hurry, for
some unaccountable reason you could
not make the butter come. The
cream appeared all right, the tempera-
ture was all right, but turn and turn
rs you would there were no signs of
butter. 1t was the same rotating churn
you had been using all along, you
could see nothing unusual, only the
butter would not separate from the
milk. Perhaps, after long time, you
got a more or less imperfect separatio n
of the butter, and was glad to ttke it
out and get the mornings job off from
your hands, thanking your stars that
you had at last found relief. But, to
save your life, you could not tell VIII at
was the matter, and perhaps it never
has occurred to you. You had big
churning. Why did it not occur to
you that you did not have a big
churn? Your churn was too small
for the amount OF cream, and hence
turning it over aud over did not agi-
tate the cream enough; SO the bu tier
was long time coming. Had you
divided your mess of cream into two
patches, you could have done the
same work in half the time, and much
more satisfactorily. An overloaded
churn is often the cause OF slow churn-
ing, although not the only cause.
The churn ought never TO be more
than half full of cream, and then you
should be careful not to turn it too
fast or too slow, but just fast enough
to cause the cream to drop from side
to side with a thudding swash, that in
dicates conclusion as we'll as agita-
ton. Always be sure that the churn
is large enough for the mess Of cream
that you put into it. If you are, it
will often save you much time, per-
plexity and vexation.

The Insects:

The number of recognized species of
insects, according to Prof. Angelo He'll
prin, is generally conceded to be up
wards of 100, 600, and by some authors is
placed rs high as $50, 900, but it is very
questionable whether these represent
more than one tenth of the number ac-
tually inhabiting the earth's surface.
Probably not less than onehalf of the
indicated forms belong to the order
coleoptera, or beetles, which is by far
The most numerously represented of oil
the orders. The lepidoptera, or butter
flies, have thus far yielded some Is, 900
species-or about one thirteenth of the
total humber (2O0,000) estimated by
Speyer for the world at large-and nm
equal number may, perhaps, with GER
tain amount of accuracy, be credited to
the hemenoptera (bees. wasps, and ants),
tho hemptera (bugs), and diptera (fies).
The orthoptera, or straight-winged in
scots, which include the locusts, grass
hoppers, ETC., are considerably less
numerous, while the species of netted-
veined forms (neuroptera) probably do
not much exceed 1900, OF perhaps do
not even reach this figure.
