Why the Railroad Msgnate Gave u the
Uss Oa the Wqed.
The following remarks arc attributed
to Mr. Chauncey NJ. Depew. the Presi-
dent Of the New York Central railroad.
and we'll known for his prominence in
affairs Of public interest. His example
and experience are instructive to young
men everywhere:
Il was a confirmed smoker. smoking
twenty cigars a day. up to about a
dozen. years ago. when l gave up the
habit. ! do not now use tobacco.
Twelve or thirteen years ago l found
myself suffering from indigestion. with
wakefui fits ut night. nervousness and
inability to submit to much mental
strain. l was in the city OF Albany one
day. and bought a twenty-five cent
Partaga. I was walkingup Broadway.
and at the corner OF State street I took
the cigar out of my mouth and looked
ut it. ! had smoked about an inch Of
it. A thought struck me. l had been
reading a German savant's book on tho
utIIICdttilIuttIccS " tu0 uSo vi UOUttCO.
I looked at my cigar. and said. you
are responsible for this mischief I
threw that Partaga into the gutter and
resolved not to smoke again. For six
months l suffered the tOrments Of tho
damned. I wanted to smoke. but I
resolutcly refused. My appetite. mean
while, was growing better, my sleep
was growing sOunder. and I could do
more work. After I had worked eOn-
tinuOusly one day. late at night I
thought I would try a cigar as a sooth-
ing influence. l lighted acigar; It was
delicious. l enjoyed the aroma Of the
smoke and the pleasure Of the cigar
nor than | a say. The next day l
smoked four cigars. and the next two.
I found that the use of tobacco vas AZ

stopped it entirely. and have no: COM

For . brief instant Jim Poulder forgot his
wi l~ones0mcness In his eudesvor TO make
tho fishes In the stream happy. and he
leaned over the bright gurgling brook -
he threw all OF his bait away. and watched
It while it was eagerly devoured BY the
creatures Of tho water. He did not know
that, in this simple act, he VA learning one
Of the greatest lessons OF life: that the best
panacea for ennui Il to turn the mind and
energies towards the helping Of Others. and
thereby making the lot Of sufferers happier
and more endursble.
The Z morning Jim Poulder was up
bright and early. but his father had antict-
pated him, md had already fed the ami
mails. He could really do nothing before
breakfast. and he returned to the house .
little disappointed, though still strong in
the resolution that be had made the pre-
ceding day. He had 1t last become thor
oughly dis9usted with himself. and 10
meant 70 make his apology by actions -
Well - by words
"Father. I want TO do my regular work
to-day" be said, boldly. - he saw his father
getting ready 70 leave for the woods. I'm
tired Of idieness."
Mr.. Poulder looked at his son for . brief
instant, while . peculiar CLEAN Of sstisfsc-
ton came into his dark eyea. He did not
answer for . moment but let the boy have
time to hide his blushing face from his Rase.
"The other day you were tired OF work;
now you're tired Of play. Isn't that rather
contradictory. Jim"
YES. but I didn't know what I wanted
then. I rasf to Uovk sor. I've got 70 hev
somethin' ter do. It's too lonesome up here
70 loaf. Il don't agree with me-"
The impulsive boy blurted out the sentences
% forcibly that his father could not doubt
his earnestness, and the two rode away TO
the woods together. 1t was . clear sum
mer's day, q tho air was sweet with the
scent OF wild mountain fiOwcrs. Similar
days had been enjoyed before in the woods.
but none seemed 90 bright to Jim u this
particular morning. when he chopped the
great trees down by the side OF his father
and forgot all of his complaints in his work.
His two holidays had taught him . lesson
that he never forgot. for. after all. he con-
cluded that work was the greatest blessing
that II given TO young men ON this earth.
His love and respect for his father were
also Increased by the little incident In his
mOnotonOus life. Instead Of rcproviug him
in violent words. NJ. Poulder had taught
him the folly OF his wishes by letting him
feel It himself, which, after Ill. IL the keen.
est punishment that can b devised. Jim
WAS bright enough TO go tho subtlety Of
his fathers s~ctionA and he admired tho
scheme no less than tho originator Of it,

BREEDING FOR AUTUMN FoALs.-
There are good reasons for the system
adopted by some horse breeders. Of
having a part of their mares foal in the
fall. The teams need not be 50 badly
broken in the spring or the mares sub
lccted TO too severe exertion. The
colts can he weaned on grass. and so
suffer least from the change OF food
and they are ont of the way when the
mares must 90 afeld This last point
will be appreciated by all who have
had colts injured by the mower or
runaway from the colt becoming en-.
tangled in the harness Of the team at
tached to the pillow. As the mare need
not be hard worked during tie winter.
she can better suckle her foal. and
there is more time Tor handling the
colt Finally. with warm stable the
colt feels the weather less than spring
foal does the heat and flies of summer.

Management Of seed potatoes is one
of the most important arts of the DO
tato grower. The chief point IS TO pre-
vent them from sprouting, and for this
purpose low temperature as near to
the freezing point as is possible without
touching it is desirable. Nearly every
where farmers find that the late varieties
of potatoes are more productive than the
early ones. Is not this partly due to
the fact that early varieties have been
injured BY sprouting. while late varieties
are less liable to this injury?

PORT ANDREW, Wis, March Q, 1889,
To the Editor of the RECORD.
DEAR SIR: Please change my address

l have observed by the RECORD that
you of the Blizzard State" have had a
milder winter than we, though 1T has
been very pleasant here.
was pleased to see the article, in your
last issue, Oh prairie fires. The destroy
ing angel of farmers in Dakota is fire.
An increased amount of moisture can be
produced in no easier way than by allow
ing the immense growth of grass each
year to lie on the ground as mulch.
One has but to observe the effect Of keep.
ing off the fire for two or three years to
become convinced of the incstimable In
jury done by it. The expcdieucy of keep
ing down all fire does not seem to sug-
gest itself to every one, as the numerous
fires prove, and suppose they will have
to be compelled to do what Is for their
own interest Ring 1t in their ears when.
ever opportunity offers, and you will re-
ceive the thanks Of many of your readers.
Ever yours, resp.y 9. As5 SHERWOOD.
