sheep and Wheat. We are satisfied that there are no two branches of grain and stock farming that can be so profitably combined as wheat and sheep farming. In growing wheat the ground in plowing turns up new, fresh soil, giving a clean, new seed bed for the grass to grow on; while the fermenting and decaying ac oumulations of an old pasture, or hay field, am turned down to enrich the soil and give the plant a more vigorous growth. We find In our domestic sheep two very admirable habits; one Is quiet ness, the other industry. You can easi ly fence them In-they do not need a jail-yard, like a wild colt, nor do they need a vigilance committee after them, as you do in the care of the vicious hog. After your wheat has been drawn from the fields, turn in your sheep and they will clean it as carefully and suc cessfully as did the gleaners in the days of Ruth. We find by experience that sheen can'be well wintered by feeding in, and good, bri ht wheat straw, ereby returning to te soil that which has been taken from it. By carefully utilizing all our prod ucts our farms will grow richer and our pockets larger. It is very essential that every farner keep a few sheep; first, as a source of profit; second, as renovators -they being very destructive to weeds, brush and such accumulations in fence rows and other obscure places, render ing the farmervaluable service in many ways. We have carefully noted the growing and marketin of the great crops, wool and wheat. We need to grow more wool, because we do not produce enough for home consumption; whIle with wheat we have to look to foreign markets very largely to make sales. Our farmers have been marketing these two farm products. The wool has been grown without any extra expense, the farmer and his family caring for them, while the washing and shearing has cost about five cents on each dollar received; they took their thirty-five cents per pound and went home happy. In the meantime, the wheat farmer has come to market with his grain. " Wbeat just one dollar to-day." " Is that all?"l " Yes." IHe gets black in the face, for it has rained, I should remark that it has poured down in torrents; hels had a long, hard siege in the house as well as in die field, employing a large gang of hands at two dollars per day. liain has caused extra expense and extra work. He finds. after a careful estim ate, that he has left, after deducting harvest expenses, marketing, etc., a net profit of about seventy-five cents on the dollar. He estimates that it costs about 4s much to feed a wheat crop, includ ing seed, labor, manure, commercial fertilizers, and all that goes to make a good wheat crop, as it dloes the same percentage of shieep, leaving a handl some balance on the wool side of the ledger. The amateur may ask what kind of sheep to keep. Well, if mutton is ihe object, take mutton shleep of the En glish breeds; if wool is the object, take the American Merino. Do not try andl breed a sheep combining wool and mu t ton, because each has a hixed type. TIhe coarse wool sheep have been bred for hundreds of years on the Dowvns of En gland, and are a fixed type; while the fmne wools were bred in Spain as long ago as the time when the Moors in vaded that country. So in trying to build a breed in a few crosses you will make a serious failure, amnt the worst kind of a mongrel. In 1881 these coarse and mixed wools wvere boughit at Bissell Junction, Ohio, at from thirty eight to forty cents per pound, and sold in Boston, .June 1, 1882, for thirty-five cents per~ pounld. The same class of wools were only bringing twenty-five cents per pound in 1882, the line wools thirty-live cents. T1he future outlook for line wool sheep is very satisfactory; farmers are fast learning that it pays to grade up their flocks, andl some are in troducing a few ewes to make a start.

I have been asked whether the state ment now going the rounds of the pa- 1 pers that "a dead branch on a tree makes almost as great a strain on the main plant for moisture as does a living one" is accurate or not. The stateient Is coupled with another referring to its practical application in tree culture, the conclusion being that every dead branch "should be at once out awa." Briefly it might be answered that the first statement is true in the main, and that, without any doubt at all, the con clusion is a wise one and ought to be followed in practice. To explain this matter will take considerable more space, and in order to understand it we must go to vegetable physiology and in quire into the nature of the evaporation of water from plants. It was long sup posed to be a physiological process, and was considered to be entirely different from ordinary physical evaporation. As long as this view was held the process was called transpiration, to distinguish it from the physical process. The breathing pores, the stomata, which oc cur in the epideimis of all leaves in great numbers, were supposed to be organs of transpiration, which was con sidered to be one of the most important functions of the leaf. Within a few years, however, our knowledge of these matters has been greatly increased and we now know that the escape of water from the leaf does not dif'ec in any way from the evapora tion of water from any other moist stir fate. A leaf is a mass of colbs, every one of 'which isgorged with watery mat ter, which in a dry atmosphere, as a matter of course, tends to escape. The epidermis, composed of dryish, impervi ous cells, which entirely surrounds the watery cells of the leaf, would prevent almost com letely the evaporation of. water from tihe latter were it not for the breatihing pores before mentioned. These pores are for permitting the free ingress and egress of gases, particular ly oxygen, carbonic acid and probably, also, ammonia. Now, when the pores are oe)n for their legit imate pirpso it happens thit, more or less water es capes, if the air is dry. If the air hap pents to be very noist. tie loss of water i thm rouli the b treathIiing pores is very lit tle or een none atr all. We may put, it in this way: the leaf 1oes water sim l because it is a watery Stiucture; its epiderlis i; designed to prevent this loss, and the bre:athing pores with their power of ol)ening aind closing are for the same purpose. A leaf instead of heing an organ of evap oration is actually a tricture in which U\ aporation is quit e su -cessfully checked.

How many buwi ness men in a thousand fail, once or mlore, <hIu'ing their businiess lifetime, I (canniot learn. The proportion used to ,be e'stimahtedl for Now England1 at 97 perI cent. That is probab~ly too high a fig lure for the business of to-day, conduct ed, as it is, upon01 much horter ('redlits than formerly. But the p~roportionI of traders wvho fail is prob~aly not lower than 75 per cent, of the whole number. Howy many of our peOople live up)on their mnvested meanus ? In 1866 our in conme-tax returns showecd 771,000 in-. cones of $500 per yrear and over, anmd 6,000,000 incomes of less than $500. But these were not incomes from capital; they were mostly earnings or wages. Probably not 0one in a hiundred of these smiallerincohmes, anid not over 10 per cent. of the imcomes over $500, represented the interest uplonl investments. Ini Franmce, ten years later, the cenisusr turned no less than 2,000,000pel, r(enticrs, who live entire'ly uipon theiri invested means. In 1877 7,500,000 ofI ls('ole, one-tifth of the populationu, were1 enlrolledl as rentes-holdlers or sauvings-. banks dlepositors ; but it must be ad(ded that the savings banks (10 not often fail mi France, and that sooner or later they are apt to fail with us. Most of theset deposits are small ones. But no less] than 2,000,000 of thle French can say with Petrarch, P'arva 8ed apta miLi: " It is little enough, but it will do for1 me." Thius, in spite of the resources rei the country, ii spite of the almost unive'rsal search for wealth, and in spite of tihe fact that we have a great many riclh men at any given time, we still (10 not have a large class of permanently rich men ; we do not even have, like the French, a large class of persons who have a permanent though small com petence. The rich American's wealth is extremnelyv volatile ; in nine cases out of ten it is " fairy gold." The old land-owners form the chief exception to the rule; especially in our large cit ies, where the increase of values has been great. But if our class of permanently wealthy peopile is small, so also is our class of destitute people. We are fortu nate in .having no such immense andl harmful inequality of fortunes as we see mn modern England. Our ill fortune is this, that our class of moderate compe teces is also small, that so few of us, in spite of our opportunities and our la bors, have sei'e the good of even a small assured competence. The land is full of people who have not, Onl tihe other1 hand, and who are not likely to have, any assured competence, however moderate, but who have nothing to ex pect but labor to the end. This is, in deed, the, appointed human lot for the maority in any community ; but need it be, in a country of resources like this, so nearly the universal lot ? Might not many of us avoid it by a greater care for a moderate competenco, a lessened am bition for fortunes ?-T. M. 00oani in I' Harper'. Magasina.

Leaving the beach and the sand dunes upon which Atlantic City rests, the 61 greets the great salt marshes of the r Bey coast, which stteWh baik dntl tho kevel plain of coarse sedy grass meets the horizon's edge. Dak and dark the slimy morass, home of the crawling reptiles and suceceeding billins of mos quitoes, which have rehialned unler turbed through countless ages of time, until IQI hush! Some wide-awake Je'r seymen have laid the hand of industry upon the muddy water, and a sq-ealled "terrapin farm" is the result. lilie it has been ptoved by actual experiilent that terrapin can be raised on a small scale, It remains for the future to disclose whether the Jersey farms will be able to furnish our great dities *ith this most delectable dish, as protiouheed by the highest order of epicurean talent. For many years terrapin have been found In abundanco in this locality, but the in creasin g demand of the New York and Philadelphia market-s has drained the resources of the whole Jersey coast, and it is only a question of time near at. hand when terrapin in its native wilds will become nearly, If not rpuite, extinct. To overcome this fearful famine a limited nuimber of .Jerseymen have made this (- liclous reptile a study, and the knowl edtLe secured resulted in the farmwhich hals fair to rank among Atlantic City's r ret attractions. So far not much beauity has been evolved, but Cape Mav has been beaten, and this alone is sufi{ cient to bring a profltable return for the outlay. When State Senator Gardiner began his searching explorations into terrapin lore, he found that scientists had sadly neglected to inform themelves about the domestic life of the Jersey "diamond back." Prof. Baird, of the Smithsonian sepultitre at Washington, was ap proached on the subject, but he proud ly ppinted to his fossil remains oi the "'diamon(l backs" of the saurian ago, and proved that the turtles of that day were abundantly able to got along with. out the aid of a prying .Jerseyman. In order to overcome the lack of scientific information a small family of terrapins were collected a few years ago, and it has proved a most interesting study to learn the taste,. inclinations, length of life, as vell as the time it takes to reach its greatest perfection. The "diamond back" terraipin never leaves Its home by the sea, while nearly every moment of its life is spent burrowing In the salt water mud, where it lies torpid for more than six months of the year, losing noth ing, however, but apparently drawing sustenance from the mud where it Is buried. As thousands of dollars have been already invested in this new in dustry, the importance of the subject is readily brought to mind. After five years of existence a well-behaved terra pin leaves the bottom of the muddy salt poni, crawls to the eage or tne aojoin lng warm sandI in the balmy month of June, and deposits from fourteen to twenty eggs, which she carefully con coals~ in the warm sand. After this per formance Mmne. Terrapin goes back to her boudoir of mud with all the calm indiffercnce of modern motherhood. liut a foe of the most, relentless kind is at hand in the shape of a bird called the crow, which speedily unearths the ter rapin eggs, and they are dispatched at one solitary banquet. Senator Gardiner believes that the crow has more to do with the extinction of the terrapin than the hunter who makes it his business to furnish the markets. It is known that the young terrapin sleeps (luring the first year of existence, never leaving the sp~ot where the egg is deposited, freez ing and thiwing within the bosom of mo(t her Ofart h and growing like the roots that surround t hem. It is believed by sonme of the investigating Jerseymen that two years of terrapin life are spent in tii torpid state, without movement or searce any changes. From the sco 0ond to its fifth year the terrapin loads a kind of vagrant life, and is lot alone be cause of no market value. It finds safety from voracious crabs and fish, because it continually burrows in the soft mud, never venturing any distance out to sea. Hence its name "terra,"~ which means earth, and "pin," bec'ause it sticks so close to it. Sometimes the little reIptile burrows three feet down in tihe soft mud. Duing this period of youthful growt h it feeds on the refuse of clam, ovster, and other little shell-like creations with which salt water so ab~undantly abounds; but when permit, ted t~o choose its own food, as it Is al lowed to do when undergoing eduoa tion at the hands of a Jerseyinan, it Is known to pass by all its old sea food and feast on dried beef-in other words, wvhen Senator Gardiner placed a bill of rare before his terrapin, oyster, clam, 1".d1 (tiher delicacies were examined and 'eJected, while dried beef was found to >e~ exactly what was wanted. The ex >eriment was tried so often there can. >e no do~ubt about a terrapin's taste. W~hen the reptile is five years old it neasures nearly six inches across its liamond armor. It Is now ready for he market, though it has not reached >erfect maturity. When it has attained ts seventh year Its romantic flavor as lmes its highest perfection, and a norsel has been found fit for the palate f the gods. Senator Gardiner's terrapin farm be tins within a few feet of his garden and mnly a little way from the rear cottage loor. Let the reader imagine a strip of narrow, dry earth joining to the ~reat salt marsh which stretches to the "In et," covering acres in extent. To the right a large shallow pond has been exca vated,w which is filled afresh twice a day by the salt water pushed in by the tides. Winding here and there through the settgy plain are the narrow canals which lead to the pond and terminate at the miet. and only the wind-mills are necos ayto complete a Holland landscape. At intervals a rude construction of tim ber is noticed, which is placed to goyern the in flowing waters as well as to ward off the deleterious consequences of frost and ice. A fence surrounds the pond, which has been sunk three feet In the mud, as this depth has been found necessary to keep the terrapin from crawling away. A brilliant panorama appears before the vision of Atlantic D~itv's "terranin farmer." In his de alining years he sits in his oottage by he sea. At his feet spread ont his rnancial possessions which he has vrested from the savage morass. Be 'ond lie the placid waters of the Inlet, emmod with the fishing yachts which ~arry his diamond-back treasures bo pond t he sea. --Philadehphia Times. --1Myers' restaurant, In Brooklyn, Is mear the City Hall, and Is muoh patron z.ed by swell politicians.

To tel how I *as baught dwty from just this Moition and to warn others against nearing it, are my objects in this cotumunication. On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my. residende iA thit city an irotinded '4y my friends And waiting for my death. Heaven only knows the agony I then en dured, for words can never describe it. A nd yet, if a few years previous, any one had ,told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so ierfible a dispase, I should have scoffed at thb Idea. had a ilways been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own txperiente, what paiti or sick ness were. Very many, Pbbp% who will read this statement realie at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull and indefl nite pains in fatious paft6 of the body,and do not understand it. Or they dre exceed ingly hungry one day and entirely without ap petite the next. This was just the way I felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first begai. Sti 11 I thought it was nothing; that prob ably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times, a neuralgic, pain iti my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid but littlc attention to it. However, my stomach Was out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a monstrous disease was b.coming fi xed upon me. Candidly, I thought I was suiffering from Malaria,and so doctored my self accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing-also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scilln appeared upon the surface and a sedituent settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, in deed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no paim in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. There is a terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger always brings a person to his senses even though it may t hen be too late. I realised, at last, iiny citical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, oh! how hard I riedl! I c'onisulted the best medicail skill in the land. I visited all the prominent ineiral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worUse. No two physicians agreedi as to my inialady.

Dr'. Foote detailed to me lie ma~ny remarkable cures which had egnie nnd (er 1his observation, by means of t his rermiedy, and urged me to try it. As a p'r.uc'in'inmg phiysicin anid a graduate of tile sichools, I chmerishedl the prejudice bo;h niaturail and comimuon with all regular practi tioniers, and derided the idea of aniy medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitons, Ihowever, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I wonuld waive my prejui~e andl~ try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its uise on the 1st day of June and t ok it according to directions. At first it '.ickenedi iie; but this I thought was a good sign for mec in my dlebili tated condi tion. I conltinue-d to take it; the sicken. in .sensaition departed and I was able to retmnil 10od upon may stomach. In a few diays I noticed a decided change for the bietter, as also did my wife and friends. My hicoughis ceased and I experienced ess p.min than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this imiproved condition that, upon what 1 had1( believed but a few days before was niy (dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my fan~ily imd friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make kniowni this I emedly for the good of human ily, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music in this ei ty, stating in full the symptoms and almost riopelessness of my disease and the re varkable mneans by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three rmionths I had gained 26 pound1s in flesh became entirely free from pain, and i believe I owe my life and p resent condi tion wholly to Warner's Safe Kidne~y and fLIver Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly re investigated the su bjectof kidney diffcul ties and Biright's disease, and the truth* developed are astounding. I therefore state, delIberately, and as a physician that I believe that more than one-half the deaths w hich occtur in America are caused by Biright's disease of the kidneys. This miay sound like a rash R*i*ment, but I am prepared to fully verify it. BrIght's dis ease has no distinctive symptoms of its own, (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or thel vicinity,) but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint.

J. 1t. HENION, M. 1). Pasturing Stubble With Swine. The wisdom of turning stock into stubble fields to pasture is questioned by many faridi'B and their objections to the practice have considerable force, unless clover has been sown on or With the grain, and even then is not advisa ble unless the young plants have got a C od start that is, obtained a strong hold in th dit , ' Th stack usually turned into . stubble fields dotlsists of. hogs, the object being to utilize the Lrrain that Inay be left on the ground. Where grifi has been allowed to stand after it is ripe and much df it has been shattered in harvesting, it is not amiss ib turn swine on the stubble to utilize the shatteretl grain, but it is advisablc to provide them : thb samO time with green food sufficient to preveiit any in jurious effects that may arise from their eating too much hard, dry grain. There will be little danger from this source if there Is elaver among the stubble, for the swine will be certaift to eat enough clover to preverit engorgetnctit with grain. But in case of the presence of the grbeen food, the benefit derived comes mainly froht the eldvet, not from the grain gleaned from the stUbble. Another thing to be considered is that the atlount of graih left in stubble will soon be exhaistedi if aiy considerable number of swine is turned itito a field where there is no clover, and it may happen that any advantage gained iii utilizing the shattered grain is lost from lack of food before the owner is aware of it. The profit in raising anly kind of stock mainly depends on keep ing it in good growtig condition, and this can only be done by judicious inan agement, which consists largely in prop er feeding. There is not touch force now in the argument hitherto presentedof utilizing the grain left in the field at harvest, as the self-binding machines leave very little behind. ft may be convenient in somne instances to turn swine on the stubble for a time, but they sh1ould no't be left to subsist alone on wvhat ther can find. When clover or grass hiau not been sowvn, rag-weed and other noxious growvths will soon make their appear ance, andI growv luxuriantly.

As he stooped over to kiss his mother lie remarked: "Mamma, when 1 get big I'm going to marry a lady just 'zactly like you. -N. Y. Heral, "Buclau-Pal ba." Quick, cornplete cure, all annoying Kidney.
