Earth's Noblemen. We're of that band that till the land. And draw from earth her store; Right happy indeed ia the life we lead, While oar day* are passing o'er. 31 tny there are in riches fir ,' "J- ^ / y t Surpassing the farmer's parse, While other pursuits may yield more fruits, Yet often produce much worse. Wo envy not the statesman's lot, Still clamoring for his olasa; Nor his that fight8 for glory's rights, At some redoubted pass. No risk have we on boisterous sea, No fears lest tempest whelm Ana we possoss witnout rearess, While laboring at the helm. The fruitful field in bounties yields, A rich reward for toil; Be ours the trade to ply the spade, And deeply plow the soil; We walk abroad o'er carpet sod, And flowerets kiss our feet, Whoso odors rise to scent the skies? A tributo pure and Bweet. To all we giv^tbe means to live, As brother shares with brother, And thus fulfill the holy will That bids us lovo each other. Ul), are secure rrom gtuie, ana pare, To thee our love clings ever, With all ita might and fond delight? To change from thee, no, never! FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Seasonable Bints lor the Farm. Top dressing at this season, with any thing but the very finest and best ma nure, except on sod for corn, is a waste of time and labor. The effect comes too late to benefit the crop. Some active commeroial fertilizer should bo used instead. For grass or wheat one hundred aud fifty pounds of nitrate of soda, or the same of guano, per acre, would be a good dressing. In using commercial fertilizers, it is well to make experiments as to quantities and va rieties for different soils and orops. For the corn^rop we have found the sooner the planting is done after the plowing, and while the soil is moist and fresh, the better. A top dressing of coarse manure upon the sod would be an excellent preparation for this crop. 1 Many Western farmers have made ( flax a profitable crop, the seed being in demand at the oil mills at good prices. It is a useful orop to mellow and clean the soil, and may preoede fall wheat i with advantage. A bushel and a half 2 of seed per acre may \>e sown this month upon a corn stabble. 1 Raise the best calves, and thus gradn- ! ally raise the quality of their herds. A ' good calf is -well worth a month's fresh milk, and if their coming was timed for ; April, they could have the April milk, and the dairymen be richer and they 1 the better for it. " '' [ Early lambs should; be pushed for- j ward for market by giving extra food to , the ewes and increasing the flow of milk. To feed the lambs meal or other , food, for which their stomachs are as yet unprepared, hinders their growth. You pigs may be pushed as fast as < possible. When a week old they may 1 be taught, without difficulty, to drink milk from a shallow pan, and in doing this the young animals maybe tamed and rendered perfectly docile. To have tame and tractable animals about the t farm will add much to their value, and t the ease and comfort in tending them, t Feed the nursing sows well, and keep t them warm, bs K, v'""':.' 1 The roller should be used with judg- ' ment. It is a valuable implement, but 1 A. SL. Tl * t sometimes it is usea -injuriously. ?j, is ? most effective upon dry soils ; -when the soil is damp clods are easily crashed, but tlie surface is packed and crusted. Meadows, on the contrary, should be rolled while moist and soft, that stones and rough places may be pressed into the soD, and the surface leveled for the mower. Fall grain may be rolled with advantage the day after it is harrowed, if rain has not fallen. In purchasing tools and implements those that are. lightest, other things be ing equal, should be chosen. To handle a heavy tool is a waste of muscle, now that steel is in universal use for the best kinds. Even a hoe should be sharp and bright to be most effective, fttifl in a mower a dull knife will double the draft. This is equally true of horse power machines and of hand tools.? Agriculturist. ' ' .. a Somufcinc About Apples. S. E. Todd said before the American farmers' club : The standard by which the qualities of au apple is judged con sists of the taste and flavor of certain apples which have been pronotmoed by consent of pomologists to be the best. Best represents the acme of excellence in superior taste and in aromatio flavor. The antithesis of best is represented by poor, or very poor; Between these two standards there are other standards, such as fair, good, very good, good to best, and almost best. By oommon agreement, the Newtown pippin, the Esopus Spitzenburg, Early Joe, King of Tompkins County, Wagoner, Peck's Pleasant, and some other varieties have been designated as the best, as for taste and aromatic flavor. If one smells and tastes a Newtown pippin at a period when this variety is-ir: its best season, he will be able to understand what con stitutes the highest standard or beet, when judging of the quality of any va riety of apples. The Northern Spy is judged to be very good to best. The Fameuse is al most best. The lied Winter pippin, v Red Astraohan, r Ben*, Daviaj Swaar, D Early Harvest, and some others are ? ranked as good to very good. The Bald- ^ win, Rhode Island Greening, Yellow Bell Flower, and Wine Sap, are ranked ? as very good. The White Astrachan and 8 Red Winter Calville are ranked as poor t apples. From poor, the gradation de- ' clinestovery poor, woitMess cider ap- I pies, which neither man nor beast will a eat unless half famished. Now, if one a desires to determine whether an apple is d one of the best varieties or not, let him ^ procure a' few Newtown pippins, or 0 Esopus Spitzenburgs, when these va- v rieties are at their best season, and * then compare the taate and flavor of the v varieties named. A competent judge of i the quality of an apple must be possess- a ed of an educated taste and olfactories. ? Pomologists rely quite as much on the i' sense of smell as taste when testing & fruit. If a score or move known varie- i ties of good and best apples were min- ^ gled with inferior varieties, and all were 13 plaoed in a dark room, it would not be * difficult to select everv one of the irood r varieties, and identify them all correctly, simply by the taste and smeiL With only my limited experience with apples, I feel confident that I could do this without making one mistake.

Mprlns Plowing. We always advise plowing the lar once, at least, and in some cases twio in the spring before planting. Th work should not bo done until tl ground has become rather dry, so th as the earth is turned over, it may 1 well pulverized, and made fine for tl plants that are to be grown.

We would not turn up sai or poor subsoil, and bury the go< soil out of sight. Thin land should I plowed each year when a good deal i manure is applied. Plowing should ? ways be well done. There is a gre difference in this respect. Grass lan< may be plowed as soon as dry enougi and so on as long as it will do to plan We prefer to have the furrow turm nearly flat, though we are aware th there are those who say never turn fla In some cases we should" advise twi< plowing, if old land, and especial when onions and other roots are to 1 raised. The soil cannot be made t< fine. The finer the better. Bow to Cook Rice. The best way to cook rice, or, indeei auy other farinaceous food, is to boil in a double kettle or in a pail set withi a kettle. A large quantity can be boile or steamed in this wa^ without difficult; There are in the market several doubJ boilers used for this purpose, but tl almost universal fault with them is tin the receptacle for water is too small an needs replenishing too often. Ask fc planished milk or rice boilers, with ii side pot made of one piece of iron an perfectly seamless. There are seven sizes?one, one and a half, two and thre quarts, either planished both inside c out, or having a planished outside vess< and white enamel inside pot. Tb former cost from $1.50 to $2.00, and tb latter 81.80 to $2.40. We have use Dne of these boilers for some time, an think it will be found of great service i every family. A Cure tor Scab in Sheep. A farmer discovered a year ago thf a lot of his sheep had this disease. Tb first thing he Knew, they lost the: wool, so that by shearing time they wei almost bare. Having heard of tobacc as a cure, and failing with other rem< dies, he procured Bome thirty or fort pounds of the leaves, and boiled it u in a great kettle. When cold, he poure the liquor into a large tub, and, afto shearing, plunged each sheep that we affected by the scab into it up to tb neck, and then turned them out to pai fcure. The liquor must be strong enoug to change the color of the wool to light red, and, according to^this man arperience, they will be cured, not onl of the scab, but if the lambs are dippe kx>, of all the tioks. Stalks of tobacc* jut up and boiled the same as the leavei cvill do equally well. Among the Sharks. A large lifeboat, crossing the bar c ihe San Jnan river, upset, prccipitatin ;he crew, consisting of two officers an ?n men, into the water, the boat bein :urned upside down. " I felt," says th larrator, "that my life was not wort lalf an hour's purchase. The coxwai jO the boat, a weakly, man, rose alon^ ride of me after the plunge. He was 1 jreat terror, and I felt that if the shark iid not harm him he could scarcely reac ihe shore without help; so I encourage him by telling him I would swim b liim, and give him a hand if he fe fcired. We were literally in the oenter c i shoal of sharks, whose black trianguh ins we could see on all sides sailin round us. As the beaoh was quite cloa we first endeavored to make that, bt soon discovered that the current was s strong that we made no headway and w were forced to turn toward the boa! which was 150 yards away, drifting on jo sea, with the rest of the ' crew astrid >n her keel. There was nothing, hov aver, for it but to swim to her, and, aic 3d by the strong current, we soon shon jned the distance. All this time th sharks were around us, making, 1 fancied smaller circles, and once or twice ihought I felt something touch my fe ffith a rush, as these horrid brutes d before they bite. If it was my imagine ion it was not a great stretch, howevei or we had not got twenty yards ahead o -he spot when my companion shrieked hrew up his arms and' disappeared be leath the waves.

What a Sneeze Did. A sueeze delivered by a draper's assist int led to an action which was trie* >efore the Lambeth county court h England. The plaintiff was in the sei dee of the army and navy co-operativ tores, Westminister, in the drapery de >artment, of which defendant was mana ;er. About ten o'clock at night, whei .ssisfcing to take stock, having a cold is ds head, he was compelled to sneeze le sneezed rather loudly, for defendan ame up to where the plaintiff andotheri rere at work and demanded to kno\ ?ho sneezed. The plaintiff at onc< aagnanimously admitted that he wai he sneezer, upon which the defendan old him that the next time he wantec o sneeze he must go outside ana do it Ihortly afterward the plaintiff felt him elf impelled to sneeze again, and, put ing on his overcoat, said to defendant Please, sir, I am going out to sneeze.' le -was thereupon told by the defend nt that if he -went outside he must gc Itogether, and, upon his proceeding tc io so, the defendant insisted on his re urning the week's wages he had re eived a few hours previously, the week'f rork not expiring until the afternoon o: he next day. As he declined to comply rith the demand, the defendant tool lim by the collar and pushed him dowi . spiral staircase a flight at a time. H( pas subsequently marched off the prem ses between a policeman and the door :eeper. He claimed damages for th< qjuries he had received by hia rapic leseent down stairs. A fh?r ootta-toI trn'f. leases had been examined, and the de endant had given evidence, the jurj endered a verdict in favor of the sneezer, or twenty pounds damages. Yanderbilt's Career.

His first vessel was le Charlotte, launched in 1815, by him alf and brother-in-law. With the lharlotte he coasted to South Carolina, n 1817 he was engaged as captain of a beamer plying between New York and few Brunswick, New Jersey, at which itter place Mrs. Vanderbilt managed a otel. In 1829, at the age of thirty-five, :e was worth $30,000, and determined o start for himself. The first steam >oat he ever built was the Caroline, . hich finally went over the Niagara ''alls. To-day those who are most fa liliar with his affairs rate him at from 70,000,000 to $80,000,000. It is under took that the bulk of his fortune will 0 t<"> his son, William H. Vanderbilt. If.

What's up now?" inquired. " Why, you see, Squire Bunker, th boy of mine, up in the White Oaks, h got it into his head that if he can rai some game chickens, he can make h fortune in a short time?says he won t> dollars on a bet last week on a flghti cock?at a little set-to some of his neig bors had in his barnyard, and if he hi some smart rasters that would stai steel every time, he could make mo money in a cock-pit in one month thi he could peddlin' charcoal in a hull ye nr.A T rmaca Vio'a rita RftVS hfi'n IT two pullets that is all rite, and if he a git a raster that is dead game, he wou raise some chickens next season th would have the grit in 'em, and he wou bet on the White Oaks agin the hi State of Connecticut.

" Printer's ink I" exclaimed Jake, ' should like to know what that has got do with it. I've heerd of printer's u for canker worms, but I never heerd it for rasters?how d'ye apply it ?"

"Just try it," said I, "and if y< don't hear of roosters in less than week, I'll pay the bill." I didn't much think Jake would a vertise, but the notion seemed to wor especially my paying the bill, and guess the thought of getting that on me had more to do with it than his fail in printer's ink. He made a straig wake for the Gazette office, and told tl printer to advertise for a game roost as above, and send the bill to me. T1 Hookertown Gazette is printed c Thursday, and distributed to town su scribers by carrier, and the rest sent c by mail. Jake got his paper the san evening, and for the first time begun 1 look at the advertisements. It was qui a while before he could find his rooste and when he did it only occupied tl space of two lines, and seemed so ridie lously small that nobody could noti< it. He certainly would not have seen if he had not known it was there ar been looking for it. He thought he ht struck Timothy Bunker this time, ar would get square on the horse pond li trade. Next morning Jake was wake just after daybreak by a loud knock ( his door. Jake poked his head out < the chamber window, and shout* "who's there?" Billy Peckham's voice answered fro: below : " I saw your advertisement ; the paper last evening, Mr. Frink, ar I thought I'd catch my rooster th morning before he got off the rooe He has licked in six fights, and will ki any rooster in town.

The Centennial Exposition aa an Element In Ike Development of oar DIunfaeUN Ins Interests. There can be no reasonable donfyt that the United States is abont to as sume a new and important position as a manufacturing nation. But a few short years ago, we were known as an agricul tural country, haying vast mineral re ?jj -? HuurotJB xywg luit) ouu uu|uuuuu?tic. Our imports of the vaiious metals and of manufactured goods were something enormous; we have just emerged from a war unsurpassed in its, expenditure of hnman life, money, and national sub stance, a war in whioh the whole losses of both sides fell upon one nation and people; and yet sinoe tbe close of that conflict, we have made our debut as a manufacturing people and maintained a rate of progress hitherto unparalleled in the history of nations. To this faot more than to any other will the Centen nial exposition point. Of the sixty acres of ground covered by the exhibi tion buildings, only about twelve acres are devoted to agricultural and horticul tural pursuits, while there are fourteen acres devoted to the products of ma chinery alone. Time will probaby show that the markets of the world will be opened to American manufacturers, and the Centennial exposition will do much to bring the demand for our mineral and manufactured products in direct contact with the supply. The more we examine into this view of our irabject, the more impressive it be comes. During the last decade, the prices of our raw material and labor have ruled exceedingly high; and yet we have driven foreign steel from our markets. Oar imports of cotton and of nearly all other manufactured goods are largely etad continuously on the decrease. At the present time, our cost of production is diminishing by cheapness of labor. We are steadily grasping the edge tool trade. Our cast iron is forcing, its way as the best yet produced, and the inven tive power and intelligence of bur me chanics are universally recognized. We are about to repeat the experience of the older nations. During an era . of hisfh prices, we developed oar mineral re sources and learned to manufaoturo high fijasa goods, and to spin and weave-our own products; but the comparatively high price of our labor and other wrmilar causes excluded us from entering the competitive markets of the world. > For tunately for us, there has set in, with every prospect of a continuance, an era of diminution of the values of both ma loW rrViinVi will AnnViln Tin fcn UOXUU UUU 1MMVA) KM* WAM.fv.w tender our goods in markets other than oar own; and more fortunately still, the Centennial exposition steps in and brings the purchaser to inspcct our goods. This is the first instance, in the history of the six great international exhibitions of the last twenty-five years, in which the question of the comparative cost of productions has been largely considered or mooted in an international sense. Never before have the representatives of national industries debated the questions of comparative cost of production, of affixing to exhibited artioles their prices, of the propriety of competing unless suoh prices were affixed, and of the ques tionable policy of putting on exhibition products of manufacture, lest the nation mainly interested in such should gather information and ideas rendering them still more formidable as competitors in * i_ **rri . 11.. the world's markets, jinese are me facts which evidence the existence of a feeling that the Centennial will become the means throngh whieli au ?v channels of trade are to be opened up, and long established markets are to be closed; and throngh which, while new custom ers are to be lound, old ones are to be certainly lost. Among the branches of American trade to be the most largely benefited, we may doubtless mention the iron, steel, ma ohine, edge tool, saw, agricultural im plement, wood-working machinery, gen eral and special tool, timber, and cotton manufacturing industries. Nor will the intelligent foreign visitor fail to psr ceive that our remarkable progress in manufactures is largely due to the co m parative liberality of our patent la^ira, and the encouragement given to inven tors throngh the progressive character of our people. That the number of visitors to the exhibition will be larjje, the traveling propensities of Ameriams are probably a sufficient guarantee; tliat the attendance of the business communi ty will be proportiorately larger than at any previous international exhibition, there is every reason to presume, .for the reason that composition is here un usually close. Every tradesman con siders it his duty to be " posted " as to V>;?s nnmnoHJnii'o nrmrla nrirl fftP.ilitlPH to carry on his business ; the " drummer," as our genus of the commercial traveler is facetiously termed, is a profuse American institution ; while an Ameri can housewife scarcely makes a purchase without having priced the desired article at two or more stores. t We are convinced that the honors in the shape of awards will be eagerlv sought, and that their possession will largely influence many branches of trade; while the benefits to be bestowed upon us by this peaceful industrial monument are at present almost incal culable.?Scientific American. The Yalue of Our Crops for 1874. The total value of all agricultural pro ducts in the United States for the year 1874 was $2,447,638,659c The products derived, directly and indirectly, from the grass crop, are estimated at $1,292, 000,000, itemized as follows: Hay, 27, 000,000 tons, at 820 per ton, $500,000, 000; live stock, $1,525,000,000; animals slaughtered for food, $309,000,000; but ter, $514,000,000; milk, $25,000,000; wool, $25,000,000; cheese, $5,000,000. The estimated total derived from grass is probably too large, for the reason that the hay crop, the value of which isgiven as one of the items, must have been used to some extent in swelling the other values. bcul it is aouDuess saio to say, allowing more than half the value of the hay to go to this account, that in round numbers the value of the produc tions depending upon the grass yield of 1874 was $1,000,000,000. Wearing a Dead Man's Shoes. If there is any one thing particularly vulgar, it is the practice of poor people openly calculating upon the money they are to receive on the death of some rich relative. A severe rebuke was adminis tered by the will of A. T. Stewart to the " cousins-in-law-by-marriage," who have been "swelling," like an expanded frog, for years past, over the "million" they were to get whenever be should die. And now he outs them off with a pittance, or with nothing. We should think any sensitive man would feel himself strongly tempted to disappoint those who, as he is well aware, have been long?not to say eager ly?waiting for his decease in the ex pectation of clutching a part of his property.?New York Sun.
