If he would become rich, he must first
study to become as perfect farmer as
possible. He must do the first work
first. Consequently, the world over,
we see the largest money going to the
best farmers.
How shall farmer become skillful
and perfect in his work as a farmer?
First, by recognizing that he is dealing
with business that requires study,
thought, intelligence. He must strive
every day and year to be an intelligent
farmer. Every hour of study and
thought he puts into the meaning of his
work, and every effort he puts forth to
know what other men know concerning
it, will almost unconsciously enrich his
labor; make it more certain, more pro-
ductive, because it is more truthful to
the central purpose.
No lawyer ever stood up before judge
and jury, and spoke we'll and wisely
for his client, out of an empty mind.
Ii he would not study the case and the
law, and get down to the deeper mean
ings of both, he could not expect to
hold his place in court.
A friend once asked Daniel Webster
how it happened, he was able, without
any seeming preparation, to make such
a magnificent effort, when he replied
to Hayne.
His answer was: "In the first place,
1 have made the constitution of the
United States the study Of my life;
and on that occasion, it seemed to me
that all l had ever heard or read on the
subject under discussion, passed like
panorama before me, arranged in per-
feet logical order and sequence, and that
all l had to do was to Gull thunder
bolt, and hurl it at him."
There it is, the true philosophy of sue
cess. First, study, thought, intelli-
gence; then follows the more skillful
practice, and the larger reward. Last
winter, in Canada, we heard a good
thought on this same line. Hon. Thorn
as Ballantyne re lated that when boy,
he heard his father compliment one of
the richest men in the city of Glasgow,
who was by trade a baker, on the great
extent of his fortune. The reply the
old baker made was very suggestive:
81 never tried to make money" he
said. "All did was to study how to
understand my business, and so make
the finest bread and other products in
the city of GLASGOW, and the money
made ITSELF"
The farmer is no exception to this
great and universal rule. He may
think he is, but that is only another of
his mistakes. Is it not far better for
us, as farmers, to recognize the appli-
cation of well-established principles
that apply to all other men; that just in
proportion as we enrich our labor with
well thought out intelligence, so shall
we save ourselves from foolish mis-
takes, wasteful expenditure, or fruit
less effort. So also shall the product
of our labor be of larger value to the
world, and larger reward shall come to
us.-Hoard's Dairyman.

The True Philosophy Of Success.

1t is reasonable to suppose that there
is not farmer but what wants to be sue
cessful. He would like to make money;
would like to become rich. With most
men that is the first great object, the
lasting object of life. But they put the
cart before the horse. They want
money SO badly, that they neglect the
true conditions for its requirement.
They forget that riches must be consid-
cred one of the results, never as the
cole object in life.
They start with wrong idea in the
mind, false philosophy. If they
would first seek how to become fin
ished farmer, study how to turn out
the most perfect animal, how to Guilt
vate the soil the most truthfully and
skillfully, how to produce the most fin
ished product, the money they seek
would more surely come. The world
gives money to the farmer, just as it
does to the mechanic, to the painter,
to the merchant, to the lawyer or doc
tor. The world pays in proportion to
what it gets. The law of values is
rigidly applied. If it is offered poor
stuff, it pays but little. Poor mechan-
les, poor merchants, poor lawyers and
poor doctors are paid hut little, no mat
ter how much they may need money.
They give the world poor value, and
they get but little in return. The way
to get more money is to become better
doctors. There is no other way on
earth but this.
The same law applies to theI farmer.

The Practical Farmer.

This is one of the best of our ex-
changes. 1t is valuable in many re-
spects, but by far the most valuable
feature is the weekly contributions of
T. B. Terry of Hudson, Ohio, who
writes exclusively for this paper. His
part of the paper alone is worth many
times the price of the paper annually
($D, for he writes in most interest
ing and instructive manner. Probably
no other man in the country is able to
do 80 much to help farmers as 7. b.
Terry. But besides him the Farmer
secures the services of some of the best
writers in the country on farm topics,
including John Gould, Galen Wilson,
I. Greiner. Prof. w. F. Massey, Jo-
seph Meehan, etc. Taken altogether
the paper contains vast amount of the
most valuable and practical informa-
ton. Address The Farmer Co., p. o.

Fall Care of Meadows.

The most important crop in the
country is he g.ass crop, aud by this
we mean both pasture and meadow.
1t is also one OF the most neglected and
abused crops, espt cially in the mead
ows. BY meadows we refer TO all
fields upon which grass is cut, whether
previously cultivated or natural land.
They are abused in the early spring
and in the fall and early winter by a
great many farmers who ought to know
better. This has resulted III dinsh-
ed crop each year. G. p. Goodrich, in
Prairie Farmer, says timothy mead
ow, ii vel set with grass, should and
would produce good crops Of hay for
several successive years if properly
cared for. AS all farmers know, there
is at the root of each stalk of limo by a
small bulb something in appearance
like q dimiuutive onion. After he hay
is cut other little bulbs form beside the
old once, which die. These new bulbs
are the ones from which the next year 3
crop OF hay will grow. There is "a very
light aftermath from timothy, and this
grows so from these new roots on bulbs
n thew ave 'orming and growing and
/ they arc Llvse 10 the surface VI tho
ground. 1t is important that this after
math and root development should be
| allowed to proceed TO the fullest extent
possible in the fall, Tor without good
root development in the fall there can
not be good crop of hay next year,
If the aftermath is kept cropped OF
clipped off close in the fall, the root
growth will be light and the conse-
quences as stated. The worst of con.
sequences followed pasturing with
stock in the fall, for in addition To
=, keeping down the growth of the after
math the roots or bulbs are injured by
the tramping of the stock. This pas
turing OF meadows il the fall, which is
quite comm practice, is most waste
full and ruinous For the sake of few

the fall the farmer maybe unknowlng-
ly sacrifices half of his next years hay
crop, and instead of getting two tons of
hay to the acre as he ought to he gets
one ton, and then complains that his
meadows run out 80 quick"
Another tact is quite often lost sight
OF. A crop OF bay, especially timothy
hay, is exhaustive to the soil to great
er or less extent. Most grasses 1--WE do
not include clover in this) draw their
nourishment from near the surface Of
the ground, and unless something is
done to replace what is taken away the
inevitable result will be a diminished
crop each year. The meadow needs an
occasional dressing of manure as much
as any other part of the farm. Fall is
the time to haul out the manure that
has accumulated about the yards during
the summer, and it should be spread
evenly over the meadows. 1t will be a
good winter protection to the roots of
the grass, and the rains OF winter and
spring will wash out the fertility of the
manure and deposit it in the surface
soil just where the grass roots want it
to feed on. There is no place where
we can put manure where it will bring
IA large a return as on grass lands. We
not o:-.y - s~,y i;o-t-sc Tie crop %
grass, but correspondence increase the
root growth 30 that when the sod is
plowed up for another crop there is a
larger amount of humus made from the
decayed roots in the soil. We have
been in the habit of hauling more ma
nure on the grass lands than on any
other part of the farm. We haul it
there in fall, in winter; in fact, at any
time except in early spring when the
ground is soft, aud in summer when the
crop of hay is growing. That which is
hauled out in the late fall and winter ia
narrowed over early in the spring with
hne-tooth harrow and made fine and
mixed with the surface soil to some ex-
tent.-Mirror and Farmer.

Plea for Honey.

Many weary house-mother exerts
herself to put up rows on rows of jel-
lies, jams and canned fruit, often in the
extreme heat, when the same amount
of time, more BEAUTIFULLY spent out-of-
doors, would supply her family with a
like quantity of sweets quite as whole
some and palatable to the average
household. OF course variety is de-
sirable, and would not do away with
the time-honored preserve closet, but
its dainties might well be diminished
in quantity and supplemented with
those which require no manipulation
Especially where there are children
it is desirable to have a supply of nat
ural sweets-honey and maple syrup
as it is noticeable that child can cal
much more freely of these than OF
candy or jams without i'll Effects

KENTUCKY AND INDIANA,
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market shows firmer tone at
the close, and spot offerings are cleaning up
better.
CHERsE.-Receipts for export, 1880 boxes.
Trade is still quiet and sales are in small
lots at about former prices.
FLoUR.-The demand for flour has ruled
slow during the week, but at the close the
wheat market shows more strength.
CoRN.-There has been a slow market
during the week with most sales at about
30 to 35ac for steamer yellow on track.
BEANs.-Receipts have been very light this
week but this is the only encouraging fea-
ture. Demand is still very slack and it is
almost impossible to place consignments of
any size at any reasonable price.
POTATOES. have been light for
the past week and the accumulation at the
roads has been reduced considerably. There
has been little change in prices but the feel
ing is a little firmer on choice stock.
BUTTER. - Receipts have been a little
lighter than last week but demand has been
so slack that receivers have not been able
to establish any material advance in prices
and very few sales of fresh northern cream
cry have been made at over 225c.
LUMBER - The demand for lumber does
not improve much, notwithstanding the
fact that the season is fast drawing to
close. By November 10 about all the mills
in Maine that ship by water will be COM
PEELED to close down on account of the
weather. This does not seem in the least
to ruffie the serene retail dealer, who acts
as though he had enough lumber on hand
for at least all present wants
WooL.-The market is extremely quiet,
quieter than it has been for some months.
The most perfect evidence of dull trade has
been the appearance over the leaden depths
of the market of that stormy petrol of the
wool trade Mr.. Charles Fletcher of Provi-
dence, whose purchases of Oregon, Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming woods this week amount
to nearly two million pounds, purchased,
however, from but two houses.

AGRICULTURAL.
What, I,tatCts, Ttef, Apples.

Itt - ivy APPtboe
These four articles are evidently to
be high for some time. Those who
have any quantity of either to sell will
get good returns. The cause of the
high prices of these articles is their
scarcity. The wheat situation is well
known. Though the price is lower,
there is nothing to show that the mar
ket is weak. Potatoes are short crop
the world over, and those who have po-
tatoes to sell will be sure to get good
prices. But it is pretty well establish
ed that when potatoes go above 81 per
bushel, people will buy something else
to eat in their place. And it has been
suggested that those who have potatoes
to sell had better try to find something
cheaper to eat, and sell all the potatoes
they can. We think nice squashes are
very good substitute for potatoes.
And if we could have but one, we
should prefer fine apples to potatoes.
But then apples are almost as high as
potatoes. In fact, some say that wheat,
potatoes and apples will be about the
same price this year, so we must try to
find substitute for the apples tool
Well we might make cabbages, turnips,
squashes, and the like do partly as sub
stitutes, but we should greatly dislike
to 60 through the winter without APP
pies.
AS to beef, the situation seems to be
something like this: Beef has been
low, and there has been no incentive
to stockmen to raise beef. So the in
dustry has been allowed to decline I'M
til to-day the supply of beef cattle is
not equal to the demand. The result
is that beef is going to be higher, and
evidently will for come time to come.
1t will take quite a long time for the
beef stock of the country to increase sc
as to make the price as low as in the
past. For one thing the calves mus
not all be killed as they have been
Breed good ones, and then keep them
1t is not to be supposed that dairymer
who have been breeding Jerseys fol
butter are going to turn around and &c
into raising beef stock, but we some
times question whether it Is best fol
the stock of the country to get so Jer
sified. Not only is there a great de-
mand for beef cattle, but there is fas
growing demand for cows which give
more milk, in other words, demand
for milkmen's COWS. But if you &C
back a little way from almost any large
city, you find only Jerseys. with per
haps slight sprinkling of Holstein
The milkman's COW is getting scarcel
and scarcer, 80 many are bought up
kept little while, then sold to the
butchers. There are no calves raised
in the milk-producing regions, and this
complicates the situation. We believe
that in some parts of the country it
would pay well to raise beef calves,
and in others it would pay to raise COWS
fer the milkmen.
1t now locks as though wheat would
be high for another year, and this
means high priced -four. Potatoes and
apples will depend as to future prices
wholly on next years crops. Large
crops of either will send the prices
down. Short crops will keep them up.
Beef will probably be high for long
time, for it will take years for the stock
breeders to catch up with the demand
30 as to send beef down.
