Watching the Clock

As the Christian Union says, there
is deal of common sense in this
story lately told of Edison, whether
he said it or not. A gentlemen
went to the great electrician with
his Young son, who was about to
begin work as office boy in we'll
known business house. The father
asked Edison for motto, which
the boy might take to heart in his
struggle for promotion and success.
After moments pause, Edison
said, laconically, "Never look at
the clock"
Edison meant, we take it, that
the man who is constantly afraid
he is going to work over time or
over hours, doesn't stand a chance
of competing with the man who
clears up his desk, no matter how
long it takes. The carpenter who
drops his hammer, uplitted above
his head, when the whistle blows,
is likely to remain a second class
workman all his life. The carpen-
ter who stays fifteen minutes to fin
ish a Job is working toward a shop
of his own.

Poultry and tho Farm Boys

How to keep the boy on the farm.
We will venture to assert that il
each boy is given flock of fowls, if
only Bantams, and he alone have
the management, and the receipts,
"a very important adiunct-the
flock of fowls will cause the hoy to
take an interest in farming from
the start. Let him become accus-
toned to the breed and he will soon
learn the points Of oil breeds. And
he will not stop there. He will aim
to know the breeds of cattle, sheep,
horses and hogs. He will look for
ward to the exhibitions of the couu.
ty fairs, and strive to win prizes.
He will have a love for the farm
bred in him from the start, and
when he is IA man he will yearn for
the happy days spent on the farm,
and will get back to it if he can,
should he be induced away. When
one becomes interested in poultry
on the farm he becomes educated
to an interest i'll everything else
AS soon as your boy can manage
them, give him few Bantams, and
after he is older, start him with
some pure breed of standard size
1t is the best plan for teaching the
boy to remain on the farm.

Extensive agriculture in the past
calls for expensive agriculture in
the present that we may reach in
tensive agriculture in the future.
Cows that make 800 pounds of
butter each in Il year are not SO
plenty as to become "A drug in the
market. Yet in time all can be
made to do it.
When a plant decays on the land
where it grew, it returns all the
elements drawn from it plus what
was in the seed and what it drew
from the atmosphere.
Two hundred bushels of potatoes
on an acre would take from the
land six times as much potash as
thirty bushels of wheat, nearly
twice as much phosphOric acid and
one third more nitrogen.

FARM, GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
Tho Little Red Ant.

The ''red ant as this insect is
almost university called, is anoth
er of the household pests which we
owe to the older civilization of Eu
rope, and, like other domestic pests,
it has become almost cosmopolitan.
\ house badly infested with
these creatures is almost uninhabi-
table. They form their nests in al.
most any secluded spot, between
the walls or under the floor or be
hind base boards, or among the
trash in some old box or trunk, or
in the lawn or garden walk just out.
side the door. In each OF these
nests several females will be found,
each laying her hundreds of eggs
and attended by retinue of work
ers caring for the larve and start.
ing out from dawn till dark on
foraging expeditions in long single
files like Indians on the war path.
Our first recommendation is to
find the point from which they all
come. They may have built the
nest in some accessible spot, in
which case little kerosene will
end large part, if not all, of the
trouble. If the nest is in the wall
or under the floor, and taking up a
board will not bring it within
reach, find the nearest accessible
point and devote your energies to
killing the ants off as they appear.
Where the nests are outside moth
ing is easier than to find them and
to destroy the inhabitants with ker-
osene or bisulphite OF carbon The
nests are almost always in the inn
mediate vicinity of the house. The
ants are peculiarly susceptible to
the action of pyrethrum in any
form, be Persian or Ddlmatian pow
der or buhach, AMI Il free and per
sisent Use OF this powder will ac-
conplish much.
A great number of remedies
have been proposed in the house

but nearly all depend upon the use
of "A mixture for trapping the ants,
and at best are slow and tedious
meaus of warfare. The best of
these with which | have had any
experience consists in placing small
bits of sponge moistened with
sweetened water in the spots where
the ants most do corgregate, col
lecting the sponges once day or
so, soaking them in hot water and
then replacing them. Small bits of
bread and poisoned molasses or

drops of oxalic acid have deem put

well as the free use of borax, so of.
ten advised for reaches. The PEG.
pie of the Southern States suffer
more from these pests than we do
at the North, and Floridian of ex =
peIience recommends mixture of
borax and sugar, well mixed with
boiling water, and left here and

RipeneSS in Character

One mark is beauty. Ripe fruit
has its own perfect beauty. AS
the fruit ripcns the sun tints it
with surprising loneliness, and the
color dcepens TIL the beauty of the
fruit is equal to the beauty of the
blossom, and in some respects su-
peIior. There is in ripe Christians
the beauty of realized sanctilication,
which the word of God knows by
the name of "beauty of holiness"
Another mark of ripe fruit is ten
dcrness. The young, green fruit is
hard and stone-like. The mature
Christian is noted foI tenderness OF
spirit
Another marx of ripeness is
sweetness. The mripe fruit is
sour AS we grow in grace we ale
sure to grow in charity, sympathy
and love. We shall, as We ripen
in grace, have greater sweetness
toward our fellow Christians. Bit
ter-spirited Christians may know II
great deal, but they are immature.
Those who are quick to censure
may be very acute in judgement,
hut theS are as yet immature i'll
heart. know we who are young
beginners in grace think ourselves
qualified to reform the whole Chris
tian church. We drag her before
lis, and condemn her straight way;
but when our virtues become more
mature / trust we shall not be
more tolerant OF evil, but we shall
be more tolerant of infirmity, more
hopeful for the people of God, and
certainly less arrogant in our criti-
cisms. Another and very sure
mark Of ripeness is loose hold of
earth. Ripe fruit easily parts from
the bough.-Rer. G. II. Spuryeon.

Be Careful in Speech.

Carefulness and exactitude in
speech are sometimes characterized
as affectation and mere pedantry,
but say what some people may, it
is unquestionably the unfailing
mark of culture. No one thorough
Iy and lovingly acquainted with
the literature of his language can
regard property in its use with
contempt. The purity and har-
mony and rhythm of his native
tongue are as precious to him as
the perfect rendering and interpre-
tatiOn of music are to the musician;
md to the preservation of the Eng.
lish language in its integrity, it
should be the duty and pleasure of
every individual lover OF it to con-
tribute.

just what the production of eggs

can state, as it is impossible to take
any kind of census for ten years.
II is stated that the board of trade
reports show that New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia
consume 900, 900 barrels annually,
or about % dozen to each person,
which, at ten cents per dozen for
our 60,000,000 people, would
amount to.91o8, 100000. Even if we
reduce this one-half, the sum is "A
large one. When we estimate for
poultry as well as eggs, we can
then place the total sum at not less
than 5000, 200 annually.
