Matrimonial Truths.

Women have no respect for men
who listen to everything they say.
All the chivalry in a mans nature
evaporates when he meets q short
haired woman.
AS a rule there's nothing il a
name-but sometimes everything q
man has is in his wife's name.
When a woman's husband is the
subject of conversation she never
says what she really thinks.
There is no satisfactory reason for
believing that woman who is al
ways "harping" will make q good
angel.
Once in great while a woman ac-
tually believes that her husband
knows as much as he thinks he
knows.
There may be some kind of future
punishment for bachelors, but most
married men believe they get theirs
right here on earth.
Happy is the brides father when
he is in the act of shifting q large
financial obligation to a young man
with more dollars than sense.-Pitts-

Saving Farm Seeds.

Tie farmer and the gardener can
often save money by saving his own
seed instead of being obliged to go to
the scotsman for his supply each
spring, and he can also have better
seeds, and increase his crop each year
If he takes sufficient care in selecting
his seed stock to grow it from. There
is value in breeding seed for better
crops as well as in breeding for better
stock, and while those who are mar
ket gardeners generally know this
and save their seeds accordingly,
many farmers pay little attention 20
the matter.
1t is said that in one of our leading
corn growing States the crop per
acre and the total value of the crop
in the State has been increased, tne
latter to the value Of millions of dol
lars per year. by the efforts of one
man. who offered premiums for the
best ears of seed corn sent in to the
State and county fairs. Such interest
was taken in the mater that many
strove for the prizes. and it is said
that single ears from those that re-
ceived the highest prizes were sold
at what seems extravagant prices,
even as high as S25 per ear having
been reported in one case, and from
81 to IS per ear in many cases.

Prince a StoISer.

The Prince of Wales, who during
his recent voyage from Quebec in the
Indomitable descended into the stoke
hold and took turn at feeding the
furnaces, is not the only member OF
our royal family who have played the
role of stoker. When the Duke or
Connaught was returning from India
on H. NJ. S. Renown he showed much
interest in the work of the naval
stokers, and went down, suitably
dressed, and piled a shovel as ener-
getically as any of the astonished
'coalies." At the end of half an
hour, however, he had to confess thSt
he had had enough, and that the
work of the stokers was even harder
than he had thought. Not long ago,
too, Viscount Cole, eldest son of the
Earl of Enniskillen, had similar
and more protracted experience OF
naval stocking. But the most expert
amateur shoveler of coal in Europe
is the young Duke of Saragossa, wno'

Northern Railway of Spain, qualified
as engine driver, and twice week

Diversified Farming.

In diversified farming it is essen
tial that we give due attention to the
claims of each branch that is being
followed and seek to harmonic them
all. We must select only those
branches which will fit nicely into our
scheme of farm management and
eliminate every waste.
If man fully intends to gain
omething by adopting the practice
of a soil robber and buying large
farms, Dreaming them and selling to
another farmer. he may succeed in
making money. 1t is little wonder
that American farmers are often
called soil skinners.
They make more money as a rule
than the FARMER VINO puts his money
into improvements. for they have
more cash to speculate with. But

as a speaker in the annual debate
between the colleges. The champions
of woman's right point proudly to
the fact that 100000 women in the
United States are self-supporting.
But, far as women have advanced in
this country, they seem in comparison
to lag behind the women of Europe.
This applies particularly to the higher
cailings. Finland has elected women
to its Parliament; women physicians
and professors compete successfully
with men in Germany and France.

ACCESSIBILITY of Planting Trees.

From time to time this department
has contained advice regarding the
Importance of farmers planting a for
est upon their now waste lands.
Especially in the New England
States, upon the deserted farms, we
see many so-called pastures that are
practically a useless waste, that
could be planted. as we might say
into a chestnut orchard.
Not such a great while ago we gave
very full account as to how this
fruit might be grown proiitably, and
anyone familiar with city streets in
the fall of the year could readily
judge for themselves their standing
from a commercial point OF view.
Right here is way of having, after
few years, an almost sure crop
every fall that is almost sure to hold
its price, and then after the trees
seem to outrun themselves can be.
sold at fully fifty times their original
value.
This country alone is said to be
using 422.400.000 railroad ties on
its railroads, and these ties have to
be replaced about every 1--WE years.
This alone ought to suggest to every
farmer the fact that in time to come
there is almost sure to be shortage
of timber suitable for this purpose,
as the railroads are continually on
the increase and the timber lands de-
cSeased by the woodlands axe or the
rarsges of forest fires.
OF course the argument could be
nsed that in the course of time some
thing will turn up that will take the
place of wooden ties. This may be a
possibility, but we should remember
that nothing is certainty. Business
men take risks in all sorts of things;
but the planting of these timber trees
we could hardly call a risk, for if the
trees when matured could not be
turned into money as railroad ties,

Flies and Sheep.

Fly time is on, and sheep. especial
ly rams. should be watched closely
for maggots. All rams should have
liberal quantities of pine tar around
the horns, which will prevent the fly
from deposting her eggs. When
present turpentine or dip will dislodge
them and pine tar will keep them
away. writes an Ohio breeder in the
National Stockman and Farmer. The
lcng and middle wool sheep are
more annoyed by the common house
fly than the Merinos and should have
dark woods or an underground
cellar or cave in which to spend the
day. A single fly will prevent one
of these sheep from thriving a whole
day.
The owner of a grade flock OF
Shropshires once took the writer TO
the mouth of cave in which his
sheep spent the daylights of summer,
secure from flies and in a climate
very nearly like :he native conditions
of the Shropshires of England. He
lamented the loss OF the manure, but
the loss was more than made up in
the condition of the sheep.
Look out for the gadfy. Her eggs
are deposited in the nostrils of the
sheep and almost as soon as depos-
tied move up into the sinuses of the
head, and the sheep has grub in the
head. Tar on the nose or even dust
will warn the mother fly that such a
place is not a promising home for her
future family.

furrow plowed in the pasture will
supply the dust Sheep sailed in

it is now. Men are going from town
to town in France, Germany, Swift
zerland and Russia buying all they
can get. The finest hair in Europe
is furnished by women in Brittany,
for the Breton women have luxuriant
tresses, which never fail to bring a
high price. Most of these women are
poor, and are quite willing to sacri-
flee their hair, especially as they wear
bonnets which completely cover their
heads, and thus effectively hide them
when shorn. France furnishes more
black and brown hair than any other
country. The women of Germany
and the north OF Europe, as a rule,
furnish fair and golden hair. Gray
and white hair is always in demand,
and if of good quality commands a
high price.-New York Tribune.

they came through until spring in the
