A WORDS OF WISDOJE.
Be quick to love, make haste to be
kind.
f Our thoughts of to-day are our actions
of to-morrow.
" When a man feels wise it is a sure sign
that he is not the man.
A man who takes care of his youth is
ap to be a wise old man.
Nature protects the majority or the
earth would become depopulated.
The affecting of virtue will not prevent
the consciousness of the deception.
The world is getting on toward six
o'clock in the morning, instead of six
o'clock in the evening.
That time is the worst employed which
we give to regrets, unless we learn from
them the lesson of the future.
Every individual has a place to fill in
the world, and is important in some respects,
whether he chooses to be so or
oot.
la nr. romftKP Gf? fif>en fl9 that
which is unavailing. If we would be
spared its pains let us remember this in
time.
It is the cultivation of the moral side
of our natures that has given to our people
as a nation their great strength and
grand strides.
Anger is often evidence of conscious
wrong. Those who are right can afford
to wait in calmness and patience for
their vindication.
If people worked as hard after marriage
to keep each other as they did before
the engagement to win each other,
marriage would be more of a success.
The rule for the give* and receiver of
ft benefit is that the one should straightway
forget that he has given it and the
other should never forget that he has re
ceived it.
; How easy is the thought, in certain
moods, of the lovliest, most unselfish demotion
! How hard is the doing of the
thought in the face of a thousand unlovely
difficulties.
. It takes but a moment to close the
doors tight against temptation, when it
hastens elsewhere. And this is better
than to live hours, days or years under
the shadow of regret.

It has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
,There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving an l
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then a falling off;
a few faint efforts, and then despair?
this is the usual story of attempts to "get
anything," whether it be a physical,
mental or spiritual good. But to long
for a thing so strongly that for the sake
of its attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discouragement,
and work persistently and
through years of trial and obscurity toward
the fulfilment of a hope?is not i
this tbe record of all grand achievements
and the history of all purposeful lives?
i Many more wishes might be realized if
people were willing to pay this price for
them. Anything worth having in this
world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capacity
for hard work.
It was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeated.
By-and-by he could not be defeated.
A little of the same spirit infused
into ordinary life work would
make many a dream possible that now
seems to the wistful dreamer a3 extravagant
as the cloudiest castle in Spain.?

A Valuable Mineral Discovery.
A Quebec corrrespondent, calling attention
to a remarkable valuable discovery
in minerals, states that in Lower
Canada there has been found an entire
mountain composed of silicates, otherwise
known as vitrifiable stone, of a purity
certified by the provincial engineer to
average ninety-eight per cent. This
material is used for the manufacture of
the finest glass, and is believed to exist
nowhere else on the American continent
in such purity.?Brooklyn Citizen.

KEEPING HORSE RADISH ROOTS.
"Where the family supply of horse
radish is taken from roots grown on the
placc, they may be allowed to remain undug
through the winter. But all that
are to be used should be got out before
the tops sprout in the spring, as this injures
the flavor and gives the root a
a hard, woody character. If dug and
placcd in a cool place iu earth, the roots
can be used till nearly midsummer,
though the better way for late use is to
grate the root ami cover with stroDg cider

PROrEH RULE IN FEEDING.
A large pait of the money made in
feeding animals for the butcher ia made
before they get very fat. Lean animals
with proper care and feeding may be
made to take en flesh rapidly and there
is often a good deal of profit in the process.
But when a fleshy condition is
reached all the extra fat secured is obtained
at a disadvantage, as the cost per
pound of the grain is greatly increased.
T'Kon thorp ia a pnnstank risk of di>
case or accident when animals are kept
in an excessively fat condition. It 19
much safer, and in most cases is a good
deal more profitable, to sell the stock as
soon as it is ready for the butcher. The
exception to this rule is found when the
supply is short and prices have a strong
upward tendency. But even then the results
of holding for higher pricc-s are often
disappointing.?American Dairyman.
SAVE THE CORN AND SPARE THE CROWS.
By and by the crows will be pulling
the corn and doing serious damage. This
seems to be unavoidable. The crows
cannot well be spared for the good they
do at other times, and to shoot them
would be to destroy a useful bird which
lives chiefly upon noxious insects and
small animals. There is a way to save
the corn and spare the bird3 at the same
time. This is to tar the seed in this
way Put the seed corn in warm water
and stir it with a tarry stick. The seed
will be coated with a film of the tar
which retains the odor and make3 the
grain distasteful to the birds. A few
scarecrows made of a small block of
wood with small holes bored in it, into
which feathers are inserted, so as to make
a rough semblance of a bird, and then
hung in places in the field 200 feet apart,
which will give one to the acre, will
alarm the birds and keep them at a dis
tance. As they float and dance about in
the wind they seem to be alive and in
trouble, and thus frighten the birds.?

2, .-v??r>" TEKtS DUCKS.
Pekin ducks are probably the most
valuable breed of ducks known to-day.
They are very large, mature early, and
have snow white plumage. Their eggs
hatch two or three days sooner than any
other variety. The ducklings hatch out
stronger and seem to grow faster than
the young of any other breed, and they
can be raised anywhere that you can raise
chickens.
The young ducklings feather up rapidly
Rnri irrow tn rrood size in from six to
eight weeks. This makes them well
adapted to raising for the early markets.
They are excellent foragers and excellent
layers. With good ranp;e they require
but little feed, and the young are
not subject to roup, cholera, gaps, and
the like as arc young turkeys and chickens.
They command good prices in the
markets, and will weigh from frourteen
to eighteen pounds per pair the first year
without much fattening.
As egg producers their record is remarkable,
and they come as near being
perj^tual layers as any of the breeds of
fowls.?Farm, Field and Stockman.

flatbreak it well; then check it off both
ways (sixteen feet apart) and put a heaping
shovelful of well rotted manure in
the check furrow each way from the
cross, leaving a space of three inches between
the cross pointe open. Fill this
unmanured space with dirt, plant tiveor
six seeds to a hill, cover one and one-half
inches deep, then dig a little dirt up
over the manure to prevent the sun from
killing it. When the seeds come up and
geVthrte leaves to each plant, pull out
all the best looking one; a good stand of
vines is thus secured, and all will come
on alike. Be sure to plow and hoe the
vines as long as possible; the last time,
wheu the vines arc two to three feet
long, run your harrow both ways, and
make the land as level as possible. After
this keep the soil well cleaned with the
hoe, and let the vines run at will. It is
best to have as much trash' on the ground
as possible to prevent the wind from rolling
the vines about. If the season suits,
you will have watermelons weighing
from torty to seventy pounds each. In
case of a drouth, punch three holes in
the bottom of old tomato can9, sink
them in the ground within six inches of

RAISING BROOM-CORN.
Broom-corn is not an especially difficult
crop to raise, requiring as it does
much the same kind of soil and culture
as Indiau corn. It is rather more susceptible
to frost and succeeds best on
rich bottom-lands. It may be drilled or
planted in hills much the same distance
apart as corn, with ten or more seeds to
the hill, to be afterwards thinned out by
leaving from four to six of the most
thrifty plants in each. The ground
should be put into a tine, friable condition
by harrowing it thoroughly before
planting, and should be kept entirely
clear of weeds afterwards. The plants,
when young, are very delicate and their
fnrlv niltnrp will hf> milfill morn difficult
on naturally weedy ground. When
neariy ready to harvest, lopping or
bending down the top part of the stalks
i3 practised in some localities. Tabling
consists in bending the stalks of two
rows towards each other, at about three
feet from the ground, thus forming a
support on which the brush can be laid
temporarily as it is cut off. Another
practice 19 to lay the brush in bunches
convenient for loading on a wagon.
For a desirable quality of brush the ,
cutting should be done before the ripening
of the seed. About eight inches of
stalk should be left on the brush. The
preparation of the brush consists in simply
cleaning of! the seed, which for
small amounts may be done by various
devices, such as a hatchet or a longtoothed
comb made for the purpose. For
large crops scraping machines, run by
horse or steam power, are used. Broomcorn
is best cured in open buildings or
under sheds upon racks not directly exposed
to the sun, by which its toughness

As spinach lasts but a short time it is
necessary to sow it frequently. It is so
hardy that it may be put in the ground
very early. It grows rapidly and is
soon ready for use. The ground should
be made very rich, and the seeds put in
drills one foot apart and an inch deep,
though they do well when sown broadcast
and covered a depth proportioned to
their size.
The thick leaved and large roundleaved
spinach are both good varieties
for spring planting. The New Zealand
for summer, and the prickly seed for
winter, the one withstanding drouth,and
the other hardy. The former is much
used in New Zealand and has become extensively
cultivated as a kind of spinach
elsewhere. The prickly has triangular,
arrow-headed leaves. There is also a
savory variety, the wrinkled leaves resembling
cabbage, and the Viroflay,
which is perhaps the ncwst sort, with
very large, thick leaves.
Spinach, though so unlike in appearance,
is a near relative of the beet and
me uiaugi'i *vuiuu. ijiuj jvm
seems to increase iu popularity. The
market gardener, of course, prepares the
ground and sows his seed in the fall.
There is no reason why the farmer when
he makes bis g.rden in the spring should
not have beds of spinach, as it requires
little skill to cultivate it with success.
It is well to give it a sheltered place, as
it needs to grow rapidly to develop the
succulent tenderness of the leaf. After
the spinach is quickly and well grown it
should not be spoiled in the cooking.
The leaves may be pulled from the stalks,
washed in cold water, boiled fifteen or
twenty minutes, then drained quite dry
in a wooden bowl, returned to the eucepan
and well heated and seasoned, then

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
All rubbish is a nest for. vermin.
Sheep should not be fed with cattle.
Keep all young animals dry and
warm.
Grow apple or nut tree3 in all waste
places.
Manure is one of the products of stock
raising.
A mare on a farm should annually
raise a colt.
Commercial fertilizers are better than
raw manure.
It is proStable to grow potatoes at fifty
cents a bushel.
Good potatoes are a luxury; poor
potatoes are plenty.
Iu Europe, pigs weighing about 200
pounds are preferred to larger ones.
Do not be in a hurry to have your
sheep care for themselves in the fields.
Every bushel of necessary grain withheld
is equivalent to two bushels thrown
away.
If butter makers as a class were better
judges of butter they would make better
butter.
Ducks are enormous eatera and sometimes
it is difficult to determine when
they have had enough.

as much as two in the same apace. It is
[ a waste of seed to sow too close.
"With goslings it is important to give
abundant nourishment from the start in
order to secure a good growth.
It is only in exceptional cases that it
can be made profitable to keep poultry
'confined on the farm. Give them a free
range.
Guinea eggs should not be set for
for hatching until warm, settled weather.
The chicks are very tender at first and
need the best of care.
The poorest acre on the farm will pasture
at least one sheep which will produce
a fleece worth from SI.50 to $2.50,
and a lamb worth from $3 to $5.
Success hinges upon the man and his
surroundings. Find your market before
your crop is ready and send the produce
in the neatest and most attractive condition.
Twenty eggs is a good average for
geese; they are not nearly so prolific
layers as ducks, and unless they begin
laying very early will lay only one
clutch.
Try two and one-half bushels of oats
and one of peas on an acre. Cut early,
it is excellent for hay; ripened, the grain
ground together, is excellent feed for
horses and pigs.
Plant the garden so as to have all of
the ground occupied during the growing
season. There is no advantage in planting
any kind of garden seed when the
soil is wet and cold.
A Minnesota farmer, who is now fattening
1000 sheep, says: "lean take the
wool from my sheep, throw it away and
then make more money on them than I

While some farmers spread all their
manure on ten acres in order to grow a
crop of corn and bestow the labor on a
large area, others may perform their
work on a single acre of celery, cabbage,
or small fruit and realize a larger profit

much land.
His First Boar.
A Russian officer at one of the military
stations in the Caucasus hearing of the
presence in his neighborhood of two
gentlemen in pursuit of "boar, sent to
them an invitatiou to join him on the
following day, when he would give
them a taste of real sport. With many
thanks they accepted the kindness, and

During the day many shots were fired
at one thing and another, thougb at least
one of the party had seen no boar. As
the afternoon wore on and the daylight
began to disappear, one of the Russian's
guests, who had wandered away from
his friends, found himself rather fagged,
and felt that it was time to stop.
Just then he heard the dogs baying
something not far from him, and after
creeping up to within thirty yards of
them, he crouched behind the bole of
a huge oak, and waited for his eyes to
get used to the darkness. lie was soon
able to make out the dogb' tails waving
to and fro, and then, under a leaning
tree-stump, the indistinct outline of their
enemy. Meantime, the boar kept up a
half-grunting, half-growling noise,while
the dogs barked their loudest.
"Suddenly.;" says the gentleman, "the
mass moved, and a dog went flying, and

this movement of the boar's was fatal
to him; it brought him into a more open

but though I fired again, I believe it was
unnecessary, as he was too hard hit ever
to have reached me.
"This was the first really large game I
had killed, and I rushed up to him with
the delight of a boy. I had never seen
a wild boar before this morning, and
now, as I contemplated my fallen foe, a
strange uneasiness beset me. There was
something so homely in the innocent
face of that dead pig that

"The bushes parted asunder, and my
host burst into a cheer and loaded me
with praise. But alas! What is this?
Xs my friend approached nearer, slowly
the gay smile fades; the applauding voice
is still; the horn drops from his nerveless
grasp, and the merry little visage
lengthens out in a telescope fashion truly
uncomfortable to behold.

the fact was borne in on raj airfaay

black, but this beast was white. The
fact was, this wretched animal had
broken out of his sty some time before,
and gone to the forest to take his fill of
chestnuts and other pleasant things,and at
the time of being shot had been battling
with one of his black-skinned brethren."

Making: Live Wires Dead.
A Bostonian has invented a device to
insure the safety of people and animals
traveling along streets and roads from the
"live" electric wire when it bpeaks and
falls, putting life in jeopardy. It is an
attachment to be connected with the
wires at intervals of about 150 feet, and
consists of a piece of rubber about eight
inches in length, in the centre of waich

attached an insulated wire connected
with a piston in the centre. At the
other end of the mechanical device is a
copper wire. The idea is to connect it
with the electric wires attached to the
trolley poles. When attached to the
wire the spiral spring is pulled back to
its full extent, and in case a wire should
break the end upon which is the piston
portion of the device recoils instantly to
the other end and shuts off all the current
on the wire, thus making the wire
which has fallen a "dead" one. It is
also claimed that if a broken electric
wire falls upon a fire-alarm wire with the
new construction attached it will not interfere
with the working of the fire
alarm.?New York Commercial Advertiser.

Tnrf Cutting in Ireland.
Among the chief characteristic features
of IrelaDd are the extensive peat
moors that occupy a principal portion of
the center of the island, the most important
of which is the great bog ol
Allen. Its original extent comprised
1,000,000 acres; but by cultivation its
size has been considerably diminished.
In the form of a table-land, it rises 270
feet above the level of the sea, extends
within twenty miles of Dublin, through
King's County, reaching east and west
beyond the Shannon into the counties of
Galway and Roscommon, and spreads
through Meath and Westmeath north,
and south into the Queen's County an J
Tipperary. Two important towns occupy
the center of the bog?Tullamore
and Philipstown?and the arteries by
which the turf is conveyed to tha city of
Dublin are the Grand Canal and the
Royal Canal.
A weird spot for the wayfarer is that
wild moorland; here and there he comes
across a primitive attempt at a habitation,
half burrow, half hut?it is the
miserable hovel of the turf cutter, the
tenant of a few acres; he selects a dry,
sheltered nook, burrows a floor, erects
a few boxwood stakes and forms a roof
with heath and rushes, leaving a hole
that serves for a chimney. From this
wretched shanty he and the various members
of his family issue forth to their
daily toil of preparing the turf for the
various markets.
The saving of the turf consists of six
operations?cutting, spreading, footing,
rickling, clamping, and drawing home.
A day's work is called a "dark." One
man generally goes before the eutter and
levels the banks, if necessary. Another
man attends to the barrows and wheels
the turf to the spreading field. The
spreading is generally accomplished by
women and children; in favorable weathI
er it lies for about a week, having been
turned in the meantime to dry the other
sides. Then it is ready for footing?a
process of setting in small stacks of
about twelve sods each. In this condition
it is left for a period of about ten
davs. after which the turf is rickled.
Rickling consists of placing about twelve
footings on their sides, one turf deep,
and about two feet high. Having remained
so till it is thoroughly dry, it is
then stored in clamps or stacks ol from
twelve to thirty feet long and of proportion
height and depth, and in this form
it lies on the banks of the canals till it is
removed in the barges to the city market
or brought in the smaller turf cots to be
vended in the. streets of Athlone and
other towns on the river Shannon. Some
enterprising firms have within the past
three years engaged in the manufacture
of peat litter in the bog of Allen, and
speculation in this direction has so fai
proved profitable to the speculators.?

Indian Son^s In the Phonograph.
The first paper read at the secon I day
of the fall meeting of the National
Academy of Arts and Sciences was on
the use of the phonograph in the study
of the languages of the American Indians
by Professor J. Walter Fawkes. He said
that a phonetic means of studying the
language of the Indians and some means
of making a record of what is said with
accuracy is much desired. The phonograph
is such a meaDs, not perhaps,
wholly perfect as yet, but still it serves
the purpose. Indian songs, prayers,
ceremonies, rituals and speeches by this
wonderful instrument are recorded. With
the encroachments of whites it is quite
certain that in a short time these would
be lost were it not for the phongraph.
Professor Fawkes then illustrated what
he had said with a phonograph, showing
the preservation of the songs, etc., of
various Indian tribes. The tirst was the
song of the Passamaquoddies, ou making
war on the Mohawks. This song was
enno i?r on nhl mnn whose veracitv could
"J ? w; *
not be questionned. The song of the
corn dance was the next. This was sung
by the Zunisupon bringing the corn from
the fields and presenting it to the squaws.
The next was the war cry of the Pueblos,
who, though they were never a very warlike
people, formerly had a war cry. A
rain song was then reproduced, then a
j sacred song used in dedicating a house,
! which was very hard to get, because the
Indians feared the phonograph, thinking
it was bewitched, and its manipulator
they considered a wizard. For all that,
the talking instrument reproduced it with
wonderful accuracy and distinctness.?

Astonishing Fecundity of Codfish.
It is said that between 60,000,000,000
and 100,000,000,000 codfishes are taken
from the sea around the shores of Newfoundland
every year. But even that
quantity seems small when we consider
that a single cod yields something
like 3,500,000 eggs each year, and that
over 8,000,000 eggs have been found in
the roe of a single cod. A herring of six
or seven ounces in weight is provided
with 30,000,000 ova. After making all
reasonable allowances for the destruction
of eggs and of the young, it has been
calculated that in three years a singlepair
of herrings would produce 154,000,
000. Buffon once said that if a pair of
? -i ?j n:.i_ I
nerrmgs were leit to Dreeu anu liiuiujjij
undisturbed for a period twenty years,
they would yield a tish-bulk equal to the
size of our globe!?St. Louis Republic.
