STOCK SAYINGS.

Crab grass makes a good hay and is freely used in the South. It is not as good to feed as clover.
 Old stock is like old persons their blood is thin. They need better food, and better shelter than when young.
 Good grooming readily tells upon the coat, the appetite and the gen. eral condition of the animal. It takes elbow grease, but it is well spent.
 Canada peas are better to SOW with oats for feed than COW peas The COW pea is a rank grower, and is liable to cause the oats to fal down or to smother them out.
 Horses are able to do more on oats than on corn. Oats are good foi work horses during the entire year They will do better if fed according to the work to be done.
 The farmer who does not raise enough fowls for his own use, and keep them, does not live up to his privileges.
 All animals are profitable in pas lures, but sheep restore a large proportion of what they take, and in better shape to benefit the soil than any other animal Farm and Ranch.

A FEW THINKLETS.

"Politeness springs from mental excellence, for want of manners is but want of sense"
 He is not an expert who does un- common things so much as he who does the common things uncommonly well.
 Every day that is born into this world comes like burst of music, and rings itself all the day through, and thou shalt make it dance, a dirge, or a life march as thou wilt. Carlyle.
 1 To watch the corn grow or the blossom set; or to draw hard breath over plow-share or spade; to read, to think, to love, to pray these are the things that make men happy. = John Ruskin.
 It has long been the opinion that he who plants tree in public ben. efactor He not only adds to his own pleasure and profit, but he is contributing to the welfare of those who come after him. Probably he does more for them than for him self.
 Success has come to some without much education, without much cul- ture, without any brilliancy, but it seldom comes without stamina. The stability is what counts in a long pull, and hard pull, whether it be on hill or on dead level.
 How many take wrong view of life, and waste their nervous system In endeavoring to accumulate wealth without thinking of the present hap- piness they are throwing away. It is not wealth nor honor that makes A happy man. Many of the most wretched people on earth have both But 1t is a radiant, sunny spirit which knows how to bear little trials and enjoy little comforts and tbus extract happiness from every incl dent in life.
