HERE AND THERE.

Continual cropping robs the virgin
soil of its accumulated resources.
The house rent and farm living
should be counted a part of the farm
profit.
Putting salt on the ground aids ma
terially to make plant food already in
the soil available.
Bone dust scattered over the plants
in the hills of melons and cucumbers,
will kill out the Splinter beetles.
"A good mixer must be a good
feeder, but this does not necessarily
prove that a good feeder is good
mixer.
Tho growth and yield OF the farm
largely depend upon the farmer and his
plan of work, or rather his MANAGE
ment.
AS rule the best breeding animals
are the cheapest for the farmer, and in
a majority of cases they will be found to
be thoroughbreds.
1t is good plan to keep stock in a
condition SO that they can be made
ready for market at any time. In this
way advantage can be taken of the mar
ket
The richness of the food given to
the stock has much to do with the value
of the manure, and this is one reason
why poultry manure is valuable, be-
cause the fowls eat so much grain.
Keep the manure either hauled out
and scattered in the fields or piled up
under shelter so that it will rot, and
not get scattered or wasted, as will be
the case if left alone.
AS general rule, larger profit in
proportion to the number of stock kept
can be secured by keeping sheep in rea-
sonably small hocks, rather than with
large number together.
With nearly or quite all field crops
it is not the number of acres plowed or
cultivated, but rather the number Of
bushels harvested that determines the
amount OF profit that can be derived
from the farm.
In the South they find the cauli-
flower the most profitable vegetable
that is grown. Peter Henderson used to
claim that his profits upon the crop
were very large 1t is sea-coast plant
however, and if grown in the interior
must have plenty of moisture.
"A COW need not always be high
bred in order TO be good dairy COW.
But the advantage is that if she is bred
for milk there is great probability of
her possessing superior merit in this
respect, and is certainly much more
liable to transmit this quality to her
offspring.
In many cases the way the farm
products are marketed, determines the
profit Some always have every thing
neat fresh and in good, clean condi-
ton and meet with ready sale at
good prices; others sell in almost any
shape that seems most convenient
Unless considerable care is taken in
handling young colts, there is consider
able danger of their mouths getting
sore from the use of the bit Then aft
erwards this becomes caloused and hard
and the animal is often hard to handle
during the rest Of his life. Wrapping

SuPERSTITIOUS JOHN.

Peculiar Customs Observed by Cinnamon
y, cf 6Hgg h "66 aor - ,attor 81 cow
lecture why Chinaman should be SO
particular In sleeping with his head to-
ward the east. When at home, or
travelling, or visiting, the Celestial, if
among strangers, exercises no little
care to avoid sleeping in any other posi-
ton than the one which he has been
brought up to look upon as the most
correct and healthful to his mind.
According to the Chinese superstition
it is exceedingly dangerous to sleep with
the head toward the setting sun. The
sleeper might justly fear darkness, I'M
happiness and death; that is, of course,
II he is a believer. From the north
comes GOODNESS, loneliness and barren
ness, and to sleep with the head in that
direction would be to bring down upon
himself and family these products Of
the pole.
The south signifies passing glory; a
limitation of wealth, health and happi-
ness. Therefore, that is extremely UNI
desirable. But to the east-the source
of the rising sun in all its splendor-is
where the Celestial looks for all his
good gifts, From it como $50 he be-
lieves) light, life, wealth and happi-
ness. No misery, or wretchedness, or
want can come from the glorious east;
so he must sleep with his head in that
direction, in order to get the full hen
eft OF the good gifts which will come to
him.
Often, in travelling, Cinnamon carry a
mariners pocket-compass, in order that,
when the time comes to retire, they may
discover which way to point their heads.
If they make mistake and sleep the
wrong way, they are likely to lose just
SO much health and happiness. With a
dead Chinaman this is reversed; for they
believe that after death the body has
nothing to lose, and the head, therefore,
is placed before the west.
1t is fact worthy of notice and men,
ton that those Cinnamon who have be-
come Christianized follow the old super
stition about sleeping just as much as
the heather who steps his foot on Amer
lean soil for the first time. They look
upon 1t as truth, and not superstition,
from childhood up, and 1t is hard to
break down the teachings of mother
and father, especially in China-La'

A Safe Guard.

Few people living in a malarial country
but occasionally need vigorous tonic,
either to keep off the maGrial feeling or
else to cure the disease if it once gets into
the system There is no more uncomfort-
able disease that affects humanity than
chills and fever 1t drives away energy
and ambition. 1t makes one feel sick and
mean all over. A safe guard against the
disease and a sure cure is Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by DR., John Bull, of Louis
vile, KY. A single bottle will do for an en-
tire family. 1t is far better than quinine,
as no arrangement of the system ever fol
lows its use The use of quinine causes
buzzing in the ears, dizzy sensations, nausea
and sometimes even commissions and
paralysis. Use Smiths Tonic Syrup and
all such danger is avoided In fact it has
all the good medicinal qualities of quinine
with none of its evil nature.

How to Preserve yioiets.

The dainties known as preserved
yiolets," for which the women folk pay
exorbitant prices, are easily and simply
made. Boil one pound of loaf sugar in
ms much water as it will absorb until,
when dropped into cold water, it be-
comes hard and brittle. Throw the
violets (which should be the large
double variety and without stemsl into
the strip a few at time, and keep
them in until the sugar boils again.
Stir the sugar round the edge Of the
pan until it is white and grainy, then
gently stir the flowers about until the
sugar leaves them. Drain them on a
fine white cloth and set them on a
sieve to dry in a slightly-warm oven,
turning them over carefully now and
again, and watching them lest they
cool ere they dry.-N. Y. Commercial

A sTREET.cAR EPISODE.
now Lady OF Uncertain Age Rewarded
Young Mans Pollteness.

now Lady of Uncertain Age Rewarded
Young Mans Pollteness.
Take this seat, madam" said a
young man, rising and politely lifting
his hat
The madam" was lady of uncer-
tain age, who, after boarding the car
and casting searching glance from one
end OF the seat to the other, and then
down the opposite side, had failed to
hnd an interstice between the sitters
sufficient to afford even so thin person
as herself resting place.
She had then seized the starp with
each hand and determined look, and
was holding on firmly when the young
gentleman aforesaid vacated his seat for
her.
before / accept your seat, young
man," remarked the woman, 81 must
ask you what prompted you to offer it to
me?"
The donor was not prepared for such
aquery. He had been in the habit Of
relinquishing his seat to standing
ladies' unquestioningly, and having the
seat accepted in similarly unquestion-
ing manner. So he was at loss how to
reply, and stammered:
"W-w-why, madam"
"Yes, l want to know why" inter-
rupted the lady, in severe tone. Ibid
you offer me that seat because you
thought l was too old and feeble to
stand?"
20, no, indeed" protested the young
man, with unnecessarily forcible pro-
testations.
because If you did l shall insist upon
refusing 1t. I'd have you to know, sir,
that / am not an old woman. I'm quite
young, in fact, and if you've got the
impression that Pm old and feeble, and
that can't stand in street-car for
nine blocks, must disabuse your
mind of that idea. Was that your
thought in offering me your seat? Now,
confess! want to know the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth"
The young man by this time was very
red in the face. He thought it was
rather hard to be subjected to such a
close examination as to his motives in
performing an act of kindness, by the
beneficiary of that kindness, too, and
before carload of people who were
listening with deep interest to the dis
cussion of street-car etiquette, although
the discussion was a one-sided one.
"Now," went on the catechism, with
out pausing for an answer, IF, on the
other hand, you rendered me your seat
as a mark of Difference and homage to
the sex to which / belong, shall be
happy to accept it. Now, which was
it?''
AS she now seemed to have come to a
full stop, the embarrassed young man
attempted to answer.
II gave you my seat because / am
going to get out"
Andshe did.
As he jumped from the car without
troubling the driver to stop the woman
settled herself in the seat he had va
