TABLE-CUTLERY,
Some Things to Be Considered i'm the Care
nf

Some Things to BE Considered in the Care
of 1t.
Table-cutlery, as the designation was
formerly understood, included all the
knives and forks, nut-picks, etc. To-
day, among well-to-do people, all the
forks, except that which belongs to the
carving-set, are either sterling silver or
silver-plated. 1t is astonishing how
the table appliances have multiplied in
this luxurious age. For the fish course
there are sterling-silver knives and
forks of special shapes, and broad
silver knife and fork for serving the
fish. Oyster-forks of another shape are
considered indispensable when raw
oysters are served. Knives and forks
of medium size are used for entrees,
the forks being silver and the knives
having silver, silver-plated or steel
blades. For the meat course the
forks are silver and the blades of the
knives steel. The dessert knives and
forks are silver-plated; the butter
knives that are placed by the little
bread-and-butter plates are silver So
it will be seen that the cutlery of to-
udy uocS HoG mean IOT me tables what
it did formerly. 1t will be necessary to
consider the combinations of materials
that enter into the makeup of the cut
lery of to-day before the care of it can
be treated intelligently. Common
knives and forks are made with fat
tangs, to which pieces of wood or
bone are joined for the handle. In fine
knives the tang is made round and is
pressed into round groove made in
the handle. Sometimes this is fastened
with rivet, sometimes with a spring,
and again with some cement.-Ladies'

FARMER AND PLANTER,
LIVE STOCK.
Improved Breeds of Stock for the General
Farmer,

Improved Breeds of Stock for the General
Farmer.
The question is often asked by the
ordinary farmer if it will pay him to
invest in a pure-bred sire to improve
TIE common stock ON his farm. The
answer is very short. Yes. If bought
st reasonable price, not only will the
stock upon the farm be improved by
the importation of pure-bred stock,
but the most marked improvement will
be in its owner. The introduction of
pilre-bred stock on the farm not only
works wonders in the improvement of
the common stock thereon, but it re-
generates and enthuses its owner with
higher motives and aims than merely
peddling out his farm by raising grain
and selling it at hardly living prices,
thus impoverishing his soil by con-
tinued cropping until there is
scarcely a living and tax re-
ceipt to show for the years work.
That improved stock and systematic
farming goes hand in hand does not adj
nit of a doubt. l ask the readers of
this article to look around them in their
ers that are dealing exclusively in scrub
stock do not also deal in the same kind
of crops, and does it not invariably fol-
low that the man that has got the vim
and the determination to raise nothing
but the best is the man that patronizes
the pure-bred stock interest, rotates his
crops and farms with his brains as well
a &c 70 hn
pected that every farmer can go into
the breeding of pedigreed live stock and
make a success, for that requires con-
sidera BILE capital and a great deal of
study, but he can improve his stock and
do it cheaply, and get better returns
for feed consumed.
With the introduction of pure-bred
stock on the farm, together with i'm
proved methods and advanced ideas in
the art of farming, an agricultural and
livestock paper is an indispensable ar
ticle with this class of farmers, and in
the selection of his paper he is as par
ticular as to the kind as he is in the Sc
lection of his stock, always patronizing
those that keep abreast of the times,
lifting him up to the higher attainments
in the art of farming; one that is con-
stantly warning him against the idea
of the old rut that has depleted our
soil and made slaves of our forefathers
The live stock and agricultural pa
pers of our land have worked
wonders in elevating the farmers
and in bringing about system of
farming that is calculated to make
farming pleasure as well as a profita-
BILE business The agricultural press
has and is doing a grand work, but its
work, in the future will be far more
perceptible than in the past, in con-
vincing the farmers thatentertain old
fogy ideas in regard to improved stock
and improved methods of farming.
We are launched in boat called
Progression, in a progressive age, and
all that do not get aboard that vessel
will be left when the tide of low
prices for farm products overtakes
them.-W. E. Neal, in Texas Live Stock

ADVANTAGES OF FARM LIFE.
Statistics Brought to Bear In Favor of
Rural Life.

huraI Life.
One Of the great advantages of farm
life is its healthfulness. Statistics show
that the farmers life is the most
healthy. Forty per cent. of farmers
reach the age of 20 years, against 35
per cent. among merchants, 33 among
soldiers, 90 among lawyers and 20
among physicians. Out of 100 farmers,
100 per cent. die every year"
There is less of that worry that short
ems life than in almost any other occu-
patton. True enough, the farmer has
to work hard, and his business is at
the mercy of the destructive ele-
ments, the ravages of insects and
the manipulations of professional
gamblers who abnormalize markets;
but take the merchant, the banker, the
teacher, the minister, or any other
class, and it will be found that the
rank and file work hard, and have
their world of cares also. There are u
few in all the callings who work but
little and still draw big pay, but these
are exceptions and should not be taken
as standards.
A very large per cent of all mer-
chants fail. The fact is that in the
face of the statistics of this country it
takes nerve to embark in the mercan-
tile business, if man goes in wide
awake.
The papers show that a large num-
Der of banks in several states have
failed. A banker told the writer that
he had notion of quitting the bust
ness on account of the uneasiness
caused by the fear of a sudden collapse.
The school teacher and the minister
have thousands of annoyances I'M
known to farm life.
What is causing more uneasiness in
this country than anything else is the
mad scramble for money. There is too
much sham in business. Too many
people are posing as well-to-do while
they are even on the brink of financial
ruin. The inordinate desire for money
causes many people to overreach. They
get in debt. They become the servants
of the money lender, and happiness
flies away. The nation, all the states,
and large proportion of the people of
this country are in debt. No wonder
there is SO much restlessness.
The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they 90 are the most indie
pendent people on earth, and, as rule,
that clans are not so restless.
If the rising generation of farm boys
could see things as they really are,
they might be willing to start in on
small scale and extend their borders as
they are able.
The boy should not expect to start in
life as well fixed" as his father is. after
working for life time.
Farm life has more sunshine, balmy
breezes, good health, bird songs, lus-
cious fruits, pure water and air, whole
some food, than any other, and if the
farmer is out of debt and has a clear
conscience, he has less anxiety than
people of any other ealling,-Journal

TRY TIMCTHY.
No Reason WHY 1t Should Not Succeed ~,
Southern Soil.

4No Aec"soh ssHF SnOuiu Not Succeed
Southern Soil.
While we do not consider timotbr
near so valuable as some other hay
grasses, yet some of our farmers who
possess suitable lands will find it prof-
liable. Timothy has been but little
tested on our southern soils, and little,
is known of it. 1t is the most popular
hay with city people everywhere, and
commands the highest market price, II
is noticeable for the quantity of stem
in proportion to the leaf, and therefore
there is little waste of hay in balinp.
shipping and handling generally. This
is one of its main virtues as marketa.
BILE hay. The hay cures easily, and
weighs heavily according to bulk, and
thus it becomes a favorite with the
grower. 1t can be marketed and fur.
nishes fair hay Ito all appearance) after
the seed are all ripe on the stalk.
Most of the timothy hay sold in the
south is said to be devoid of the seed.
The growers gather the seed, which is
profitable crop, and sell the stems for
hay at fancy price to the southern
people. Everybody knows timothy
when they see it, and not every other
hay grass, and hence the purchaser
knows exactly what he is getting.
In the north it is the general custom
to SOW timothy with small grain. It
thrives well on almost any rich land; it
succeeds we'll on rather moist lands
where most other cultivated grassea
fail. 1t yields from six to ten bushels
of seed per acre; requires rich soil, and
it would be folly to sow it on any
other. 1t is said to exhaust the land.
One or two pecks only are required
of the seed to SOW an acre. 1t can be
moved twice, but the second growth
yields comparatively little hay, and the
quality is not very good. The second
crop is not always reliable, as too close
cutting, or very dry weather, may de-
stroy the plant; as it has a dubious
root, drought, frost and close grazing
will easily destroy it. tits not difficult
to get stand.
Southern farmers who have rich,
moist lands, and who are prepared to
bale the hay, are advised to give timothy
trial. From what we can gather, we
think one bushel of seed will be suffi-
Gent to SOW three acres. We read of
farmers in the north who only sow one
bushel of seed to eight or ten acres, but
this scant seeding is probably false
economy.-Cor. Home and Farm.

Two Worlds Should NTae%

Our world is spinning through space
at a speed of over one thousand miles
per minute. Should it come in coils
ion with globe of equal size going at
the same rate of speed, what would be
the result? The very best thinkers of
the age tell us that heat enough would
be generated by the shock to transform
both of the colliding bodies into gigan-
tic balls of vapor many times their
present circumference. Some have
thought that in case the center of the
earth is composed of solid and colder
matter than is the generally accepted
belief this might not be the case, but
after searching all the leading authori-
ties l must admit that can not find a
more appropriate 'fnis'' than the fol-
lowing which is from an eminent sci
enlist: "Should such an unheard of
event occur the heat generated would
be sufficient to melt, boil and complete
ly vaporize mass of ice fully seven
hundred times the bulk of both the
colliding worlds-in other words, an ice
plant one hundred and fifty thou
sand miles in diameter!"-St. Louis Re-
public.
