4 word of praise warns The heart,
arouses the spirits and energy to ac-
tomplish our purposes. In our pri.
yate intercourse with Others there is
no instrument Of power over their af-
fectiOns, their desires, and conduct
SO potent to give courage and strength
in whatever pursuit in which we may
he engaged. Niggards Of praise are
prodigals Of censure. Censnre begots
fear. praise nourihe love. The
habit Of seeking praise for worthy
ACTORS rather than blame operates
favorably, not only on the happiness
and temper but on the whole moral
character 1t is a great corrective
Of envy, that most common inflrmltY
Of ambitious and aspiring men to
snpplant Others, TO rise above them.
A predispOsitiOn 10 see what is best
and cOmmendable and show our APP
probation Of good qualities necessa-
lily calls out our own more amiable
qualities and makes them shine
brightly in our character; and on the
other hand a predispOsition TO dis
cover what is bad and expose JuT
errors, whether intentional or fortu-
itouS, keeps in activity our meaner
and malignant feelings. 1t is better
and wiser, on the whole, to cultivate
the Labit of giving pleasure In
stances may be quoted Of little chill
dren who have been logged out Of
naughtineis and great geniusas who
have been reviled into surprising
achievements But if our principles

guided, then if whatever is good is
appealed to and strengthened, you

for the cure of what is evil. SO IL

POULTRY HINTS.

Cook the vegetables, such as pump
Eins, cabbage, apples or onion, in the
evening mix in the meal while hot
and put away, covering tightly, so that
it will be warm when fed to the poul-
trv before sunrise. If the hens are
obliged to wait for their breakfast at
ter getting their beds made, it will
rave its effect upon them for the en-
tire day. The man who isn't willing
to turn ont early to feed the flock
must not expect to pocket large re-
turns. It's the early riser that gets
the eggs.
This question of profits in the poul-
try ward hinges not on breed, but on
birds. Breeds have certain character
istics, but it is the individual which
paws or fails In dealing with the
question it will always be well to keep
track Of each bird, and not rely on the
fact that they are of this or that
breed. Any variety can be made of
profit to the owner. by keeping close
watch of the individuals Result
must be measured with reference to
each rather than to all, and in seeking
for this high average will be secured.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
TOMATO CULTURE.

The average productiveness of to-
mato plants, in both number of fruits
and weight of product, appears to be
in direct proportion with the earliness
of setting in the field, reports W. M.
Munson, of the Maine station. Little
or no benefit seems to be derived from
the practice of bagging fruit. The
individual variation of plants is large.
Crossing between small fruited plants
of very prolific habit and the larger
fruited sorts is n promising method of
securing valuable varieties which shall
be sufficiently early for the bestresults.
Plants grown from seed of small
fruits-those receiving little pollen
were slightly inferior 10 those grown
from large fruits from the same parent
plant. The best variety grown last
year at the Maine station was tho OPP
timus. American Agriculturist.

Printing on Leather.

Some beautiful, artistic effects have
been secured lately by printing on
leather. These are the results of q
carefully perfected method Of treating
the leather after tanning. The skins
are kept free from grease, and, If they
have been prepared with tannin, must
first be stepped in n preparation OF
sumac. The application OF the color
can be done in several ways, according
to the effect it is desired to produce.
1t can be done by dyeing the skin and
afterward treating it with acids in GER
tain parts, so that the natural color OF
the leather appears, or printing with a
preparation composed of virgin wax,
four parts; castor oil, four parts,
borax and copal resin, each one part,
mixed together and warmed. The
castor oil may be replaced by any veg
etable or mineral oil. Chicago Record.

He Encouraged His Men by Eating Dinner

IT is the duty Of an officer In COM

but to avoid merely foolhardy displays
Of valor. On occasion, however, II he

nerve his men to do their duty, brave
officer will undoubtedly resort TO such
an expedient. A Russian officers re-
markable exploit Of this nature has
lately been put on record in the Men,
oirs Of Gen. Kurapatkin.
At the siege OF Plevna ly the Rus
sions and Roumanians, in the Russo
Turkish war of 1878. the attacking army
was composed largely of raw recruits
and young men, whereas the bcsieged
Turks were, for the most part, yeter-
ans and excellent soldiers. Beside de-
Tending their works well, they made
many intrepid sallies upon their assail-
ants.
The Turks had discovered a weak
point in the Russian lines, where
trench was defended by a battalion oil
raw recruits. They opened n heavy
fire of shot and she'll upon this trench,
and massed their forces for an assault
upon it. The battalion was under the
command of young captain. Inc
missiles were dropping into the trench,
killing and disabling many. Terror
stricken the troops were wayerinG, and
evidently on the point Of flight.
At this moment the young captain
looked at his watch. why, its dinner

those sticks and put on the camp Kettle

With this he jumped out uron tho
ground outside the trench, in full range
of the Turkish infantry fire, and COM
pletely exposed also 10 the artillery ire
which was going on heavily.
His terrified servant oteyed, and be-
gan to cook the Captains dinner:
Meantime the Turkish infantry sailed

Fire." the Captain commanded MS
men in the trench. Aim lower; that's
it. Ivan, what are you letting that ket-
tie boil over for;'
The man handed the Captain food
md he ate coolly. The Turks charged
up within hundred PAGES. The Cap
ain. his mouth half full OF food, gave
orders to his men which concentrate
their deadly fire uron exactly the right
spot But he never left lis exposed
post outside the trenches, and did not
cease to eat deliberately.
All this time the bombs were drop
ping mercilessly into the trench; but
the recruits kept their places well and
repulsed the assau t.
When the Turks had Withdrawn COM
pletely, and the fire had ceased, the
Russian soldiers found that Ivan had
cooked a large kettleful OF soup, OF

Patience for the Err,nr.

God has a mothers patience for the
erring. If one does wrong, arSt his
associates In life cast him off; II he
goes on in the wrong way, his bust
ness partner casts him off; if he goes
on, his best friends cast him of-his
father casts him OF. But after all
Others have cast him of, where does
he 90? Who holds no grudge, and
forgives the last time as well as the
first? Who sits by the murderer's
counsel through the long trial? Who
tarrieS the longest at the windows OF
a culprit's cell? Who, when all
others think i'll OF man, keeps on
thinking we'll of him? 1t is his
mother. God bless her gray hairs, il
she be still alive; and bless her grave
II she be gone. And bless the rock
ing chair in which she used to sit,
and bless the cradle that she used to
rock, and bless the Bible that she
used to read. So God, our mother,
has patience for all the erring. After
everybody else has cast him of, God,
our mother, comes to the rescue. God
leaps to take charge Of bad case.
After all the other doctors have got
through, the Heavenly Physician

one thing you have not tried. l
would like you to try that What
is that?' said the Colonel. Said the
man: forgiveness The case had
not gone so far but that it might
take that turn, and so the Colonel
said. We'll, young man, you have
done so and so. What is your ex-
cuse?' Il have no excuse, but l am
very sorry, said the young man. 'We
have made up our minds to forgive
you, said the Colonel. The tears
started. He had never been accOsted
in that way before. His life was
reformed, and that was the starting
point for a positively Christian life.
Oh, church OF God, quit your sar-
casm when a man falls. Quit your
irony, quit your tittle-tattle, and try
forgiveness. God, your mother, tries
1t all the time. A mans sin may be
like a continent, but Gods forgive

A Oueer Proposition.

How could two persons he born al
the same time and die at the same
time at the end Of fifty years, ana
vet one Of them live one hundred
DAYS more than the other
The answer turns upon the familiar
fact that a person who goes around
the world toward the west loses a
day. while the person who travels IN
the OF p)site direction gains a day.
We will suppose. then, that the
two men in question were born at the
same instant in Dublin, from whence
a trip around the world may easily
be made once a year. One OF them
goes always toward the west, the
other toward the east. One loses a
day every year, the other gains a day
every year. When the men die az
fifty years OF age one has seen one
hundred days more than the other.
A MAN loses his power when he
loses his temper.

TIE BEST ENsILAGE.

The best crop for ensilage is corn,
planted in the usual way as if for grain
that is, in drills, with three or four
seeds together at thirty inches apart.
The rows are three feet apart. This
method, by af'ording all the light and
air needed by this plant, produces the
most nutritious fodder and large pro-
portion of grain, by which the ensi-
lage is largely increased in value over
the common method Of growing it
more closely. The corn is cut as soon
as the grain is glazed and is stacked
in the field until it is partly dried. 1t
is then taken to the silo and either
packed in tightly whole or is cut by
machine into slices not over half an
inch thick. 1t is we'll trodden down
and covered with n double layer Of
boards, with tarred roofing paper be-
tween to exclude the air. It is thought
best by experienced siloists to defer
the covering until the ensilage becomes
quite hot. The heat kills the acid germs
and then, by covering, the ensilage is
kept sweet.-New York Times.

PRUNING PUMPKIN VINES.

Ii you desire to utilize the entire
strength of pumpkin vine in the pro-
duction of only one or two fruits, then
thinning out will be necessary. Wait
until there are three or four pumpkins
on the vine, then thin out, leaving the
most promising. To check the growth
of the vine and concentrate its
strength, pinch off the end of the main
vine four to six feet beyond the pump
kin. Side shoots may be treated the
same, only they need not be permitted
to grow any considerable length I'M
less they are to produce fruit. As
great size is your only object, it will
be best to allow only one pumpkin on
a vine, and only one plant to hill,
and after the fruit is set and as large
as a mans head, mulch the hill with
coarse manure or old hay, and give
water in liberal quantities during dry
weather. In other words, force the
plants in every possible way, but do
not oyerdo the matter by giving them
too much water or manure. American
Agriculturist.

BROOD MARES AND FOAL5.

The best food for n mare in foal is
oats, bran, some corn, n little oilcake,
carrots, corn fodder and good hay in
small quantities. Concer ,rated food
is best where there is o tendency to re-
taxation of the bowls. A large guam
tity of food given at any time in con-
nection with rigorous exercise is likely
to bring miscarriage; oats or flax
straw in large quantities may produce
diarrhoel, and abortion may follow.
Regulof exercise and good nourishing
food in moderate quantities is always
the SIRE road to success with mare
in foal.
After the foal is up and around it
should haze free operation of the
bowels. II it should not you will
notice that it is uneasy; it will switch
its tail, draw up at tho TANKS, breathe
short and stariG9 more or less II is
time now to prepare an injection of
slippery elm water, hOyseed water, or
even CASTLE soap suds, ana, inject it
into the bowls until the big bowls are
empt.ed; to be repeated if found
necessary. But don't resort to physic
unless you are compelled to. Better
DEPEND on laxative food for the dam
than TO derange the stomach of the
little fellow by medicines that irritate.
