Blessed be taffy 1t is wanted
every day and from everybody. 1t
is the universal sweetness of social
and domestic life.
Husbands, have you come houe
and do you find your wife tired aud
hot with the days work in chamber
and kitchenr GIVE her little
taffy. Say sweet thing to her.
Praise her for something. Tell her
how nice the bread Is, SO much bet
ter than the bakers; that tas ketoEup
Is the hest she ever made; that the
house looked so sweet ard restful
when you came ir; that she has the
dearest children that ever lived: and
at our leisure, before she goss to
bed, tell her she Is yo1r own hearts
treasure. 1t will DO her good: it
will make the smiles come. She
may box your ears when you say
sweet, pettins things, and tell you
you are talking as you wouli to the
cat; but she will like it 1ast the same.
Wife, does your good man come
home weary ahd burden, exhausted
end not cross, but undemon-
strative ard silent? Go up to him
with sweet welcome Say come
thing pretty to him. Me nall love to
be appreciated and fl,ttered. Give
him the sugar stick. Tell him some
pretty thing somebody said about
him. Tell him how much you adj
mira what he has done, and when
you can sit down alone with him
take his hand ahd pet him and tell
him } on love him more than tongue
can tell don't be afraid Of oyerdo-
log it and using comical little exag-
eratios. He may know, and you
know that there is taffy in it.; but it
is very nice tally. We all like it:
We all like to be told we are loved,
and the saying it makes it all tue
truer. 1t is great deal better to
cultivate ones love with warm ex>
pressions than to blight it with frost.
Pretty nothing? Why, they are big
realities, the stuff happiness feeds on,
Give pa more taffy.

Farmers Advocated
We are confronted with two enas,
success or failure. To WIZ the TX
mer it requires of Us labor and per-
severence. We must remember that
those who start for glory must
initiate the mettled hounds of action,
and mnst pursue the game not only
where there is q path, but where
there is none. They must be aDle 10
simulate and to dissimulste, to leap
and to creep, to conquer the earth
like Cn.sr, to fall down and kiss it
like Brutus.
Life is too short for rs to waste
one moment in deploring our lot. We
must 60 after success, snce it Will
not come after us, and We have no
time to spare. If you wish to
succeed you must do as you would
to get in through crowd to a gate
that all are anxious to reach. hold
your ground and push hard; to stand
still is to give up the battle. Give
your energies to the highest employ
ment Of which nature is capable. Be
alive, be patient, work hard, which
opportunities, hope for the best, aud
if you are not able to reach the goal
Of your ambition, you will die with
the consciousness Of having done
your best, which is, after all, the
truest success to which man can as
pire. To begin at the foot Of the
bill and work slowly to the TOP
seems very discouraging process
and here it is that thousands o.
young men have made shipwrecks o.
their lives. There is no royal roao
to success. The path lies through
troubles and discouragements. /
lies through field of hard, earnes
and patient labor. 1t calls on tn.
young man to put forth energy ant
determination. 1t bids him to builC
we'll his foundation, but it promises
in reward Of this GRO wning tri
umph.
1t is impossible to succeed in

THE GARDEN.
HOW TO GET MONEY OUT
OFT.
MANY THINGS OF APPARENTLY SMALL
VALUE ARE WE'LL WORTH
ATTENTION..
fThos. d. Baird in CultIYator.

fTbos. ID. Baird III Cultlyator.(
| have been gardening long enough
to know that The heading of this
article is right, and do not hesitate
to advise any one who is inclined
that way to give the business tria l.
Yet if managed in a careless, slip
shod manner, there is neither money
nor pleasure in gardening. But there
is none in any business carried on
in this manner.
To make money IN the garden the
first thing considered IS good, warm
lively soil, and it kept in such a
condition SIS will enable 1t to pro-
duce good crops. Good vegetables
cannot be grown without good ma
nure, and a good deal Of it which
should be at hand. This IS a point
at which many fail at; they use ma
nure too sparlngly. Manurlng the
soil bountifully does not only pros
vide an abundance OF plant food g,
and thus hasten the growth of vege-
tables, but it has a mechanical &C.
ton on the soil which imparts
warmth, thus enabling the gardennI
to plant earlier. Where the garden
IS level it would be best to break il
IN the late fall, and broadcast the
manure, which will be in a condition
for all crops, but if the land is roll
lug it is best to ripen the manure az
much as possipble, and manure il
the spring.
The ground being we'll MANFRED
it should be so managed that every
spot may be successfully cropped il
succession, Thus a little plot o
ground, we'll managed, will be more
productive than a large one unde
poor management, and this is one o
the secrets of money In the garden
4 proper rotation of crops should b,
made, as each sort Of plant draws
somewhat different element from th,
soil. In this way the soil will no
run down 60 rapidly, or require a
heavy yearly application of manure
& wide crop sEonld follow a clos,
o2e. All these ems may appear
mere trihe, but small things must B.
well attended to to make money il
the garden.
Toe season proper for furnishin,
the ground with every variety O
vegetable should be we'll attended 8
that each may be obtained as earl
as Its nature will permit, so as t
have all the market demands.
After The crop is made much wi

The Omn,present Microbe.

Not many years ago few persons, if
any, surmised that certain microscopic
living beings-microbia, or micro-or-
ganisms-could be powerful agents of
combination and decomposition, not
merely in living plants and animals,
and not alone in dead organic matter,
but even in the mineral kingdom. Some
time ago the researches of Schloesing
and Muntz, of Marcagno, of P. E.
FARMLAND, and of others showed that
the decomposition of dead organisms
into their components depends mainly
on the action Of microbia which break
up blood and flesh, leaves, and even
wood, into carbonic acid and ammonia.
Living organisms further convert the
ammonia into nitric acid, which. if
potash is present, forms saltpeter. By
q due selection of different ferments-
all of them living organisms-we can
produce, in a solution of sugar decoc-
ton of malt, alcoholic liquors having
the actual aroma and flavor of the
choicest wines. More remarkable still.
it is now proved that the green rust on
antique bronzes is product Of micco-
scope plant life.
