I?-This is the way a writer described Henry Ward Beecher's farming: When he bought his farm he found one egg in every hen's nest on the place. He said that here was just the reason so many farmers failed; they scattered their forces too much; concentration was the idea. So he gathered those eggs together and Eat them all under one experienced old en. That hen roosted over that contract day and night for eleven weeks, under the anxious personal supervision of Mr. Beecher himself, but she could not "phase" those eggs. Why? Because they were those infamous porcelain things which are used by igenious and fraudulent farmers as "nest eggs." Hisspecial weakness is hogs, however. He considers hogs the best game a farm produces. He buys the original , ; pig for $1.60, and feeds him $40 worth of corn, and then sells him for about $9. mu:" '? ?niw omn hft flvpr makes anv JLHIS lO bUV VU4J V*V|# >r , ? v money on. He loses on the corn, but he makes $7.50 on the hog. He does not mind this, because he never expects to make anything on the corn. Any way it turns out he has the excitement of raising the hog, whether he gets the worth of him or not. His strawberries would be a comfortable success if the robins would eat ' turnips, but they won't, hence the difficulty.?[Exchange. His Whole Duty.?"Have you had a job to-day, Tim ?" inquired a well-known legal gentleman of an equally well-known > drayman. "Bedad, and I did, sor." "How many?" "Only two, sor." "How much did you get for both?" "Sivinty cints, sor." "Seventy cents 1 How in the world do you expect to live and keep a horse on seventy cents a day ?"

On the Horse-Car Platform.?"Talk about animal intelligence," said the crosseyed man on the horse-car platform to a Providence Journal reporter, as the offhorse seized the hay that the nigh horse had stolen from a passing load. I knew a horse up in Maine which had been traded so often that whenever a stranger entered the pasture where he was he would walk right up to him and open his mouth to have his teeth examined. The driver laughed, but the man with the corncob pipe looked mournfully at the speaker, and in a husky voice said: urri ? J xuai s a pjreuy guuu aiuiy, suaugci, uui there is a man living up our way who has moved his family so often that whenever a moving wagon comes near his house the chickens lie down on their backs and hold their legs up to be tied."

A gentleman who had been absent for a considerable time, and who, during his absence, had raised a pretty luxuriant crop of whiskers, mustache, etc., visited a relative whose child, a little girl of five or six years, he was very fond of. The little girl made no demonstration toward saluting him with a kiss, as was usual. "Why, child," said the mother, "don't you give Uncle John a kiss?" "Why, ma, returned the little girl, with the most perfect simplicity, "I don't see any place." . A wide-awake boot-black was recently engaged in polishing a man's boots.

SST Many cigarette smokers, says the N. Y. Evening World, labor under the delusion that the paper which is used in covering their smoke sticks is manufactured from rice, and is harmless.

I've another offer, wife, of twenty acres more Of high and dry timjoer land as level as the floor. I thought I'd wait and see you first, as lawyer Brady said? To tell how things will turn out best a woman is ahead, ? And when the lot is paid for and'we have got the deed, I'll say that I am satisfied?its all the land we need, And next we'll see about the yard, and fix the house up some, And manage in the course of time to have a better home. There is no use of talking, Charles ; you buy that twenty more, And we'll go scrambling on all our lives, and always lie land poor, For thirty years we've tugged and saved, denyin/* Kulf nnr nnpflu While all we have to show for it are tax-receipts and deeds, I'd sell the land, if it were mine, and have a better home, * With broad, light rooms in front the street, and take life as it come. If we would live as others live, and have what others do, We'd liveenough sight pleasanter, and have a plenty too. While others have amusements, and luxury and books, Just think how stingy we have lived, and how this old place looks. That other farm you bought of Wells, that took bo many years Atclearing up and fencing in, has costso many tears, Ye, Charles, I've thought of it a hundred times or more, Aid wondered if it really paid to always be ?m land poor; Ttyt had we built a co/.y house, took pleasure | as it come, Oi? children, once so dear to us, had never left \ our home, I grieve to think of wasted weeks, and years and months and days, Wh'le for it all we never have had one word of i praise. Ther call us rich but we are poor. Would we not freely give The iand with all its fixtures, for a better way to live? Dont think I'm blaming you, Charles; you are not a whit to blame; I've pitied you these many years, to see you tired and lame. It's just the way we started out, our plans too far ahead; We'll wore the cream of life away, to leave too much when dead. 'Tisputting off enjoyment long after we enjoy; And tfter all, too much of wealth seems useless is a toy. Altbcpgh we've learned, alas! too late, what all nust learn at last, Our brightest earthly happiness itf^buried in be past. * This lfe is short and full of care; the end is allays nigh ; We s4dom half begin to liye before we're innniflfl fn rlia Were to start my life again I'd mark each sparate day, And nyer let a single one pass unemployed way. If then were things to envy, I'd have them nw and then, And hve a home that was a home and not a cge or pen. I'dselliome land if it were mine, and fill up wll the rest; I've ahvys thought, and think so yet?small farns well worked are best. ' Watering Horses.?There is a certain wat of common seo6e and humanity in te habit many persons have of waterin horses three times daily. The only resonable or sensible or prudent plan to ursue is to give animals water accordin to their real wants. This is a differentnatter from giving it to them eapriciotly, or according to their fancy. r If we gie way to the latter, we will find the anirr.l becomes as cunning as a moni key, andvill play the old soldier at every , opportutty, pretending to drink and , making Mieve, so as to gain time and . shirk wck. But its simply cruelty to compel a , team to pw or work from morning unt til noon, r from noon until night, with, out allowig it the privilege of a refresh{ ing draugt. It is inconvenient, many times, to water the teams during the L forepoon.oafternoon, and we are aptAo ; think the ime thus taken lost, but when the farmer millenium comes there will ' probably fc drinking in every field, sup plied from ome elevated spring or some ? running stiam. In the meanwhile, time "lost" in oing good, even though it 1 may be in behalf of dumb animals, is ! well "lost"-it may be regained. Could ; they speakit might be to say that they ; would like d be treated, in the matters of 1 times for fod and drink, somewhat as we?their wse masters?are accustomed ' to ourselves-[Planters' Journal. ; Ax Off-Iand Way to Measure an Acre.?Few farmers know the size of their fields c how many acres they contain. A fiel of the writer's, before it came into hiajossession, had been plowed hv r'nntrnnfr fr fiftppn nprpa. On meftaiir ing it was foud to have but twelve acres. It is desirabl, in fact, indispensable for good work, tat a farmer should know how many ares each field contains, for otherwise he;an not apportion seed or manure for it nor can he tell how much time it shoulc require to be plowed. A measuring cod should be part of the furniture on ever; farm. To make one, procure sixty-sevn feet of strong rope, one inch round ; tnke a loop or fasten a ring or bar at each end, and make these precisely sixty-si> feet apart. This is four rods. Then tie a piece of red rag in the centre. One ace of ground will be a piece four of the cords(chains) long and two and one-half wide, equal to sixteen by ten rods, making 10 square rods to one acre. The advantage ?f the ring or loop is that one person can neasure alone by driving a stake in the jround to hold the rope while he stretch? it out. The rope should be soaked in ta* and dried, which will prevent it from shrinking when wet. Selling by Veight.?It cannot be denied but what the fairest way in disposing of articles fron the farm is by weight. It is the only proper way; and why ? Let us take eggs, -for instance. A dozen of large eggs, under the present system of traffic, brings no more than a dozen of small ones. No one will pretend to say there is any justice in this. Then take potatoes, or turnips, or apples, or onions, or fruit of any kind. A person who understands "dark ways" can make, by measuring by the bushel or quart, a good deal more or less, according to the interest that suits him. In all the berries sold iu the market'Dy The quart there is a leakage in the measure in most instances. Honest scales wont cheat. It's just as right to sell wool by fleece as it is eggs by the dozen, or hay by the load?as to sell potatoes, tomatoes, wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, apples, berries by the quart or bushel. There is no justice in it, neither is there any representation in it. The only fair way in either buying or selling farm products is by the weight. It is said an acre of wheat will sustain three and a half individuals for a year. An acre of potatoes will sustain ten persons for a year. In Ireland the introduction of the potato has been followed by a decline of every Irish industry excepting agriculture. The small amount la K/m? **rw i 11 i fnrl f/ir nKto? ninr* onctanonnn ui iciuwi iwi uwiaiuiu^ cuoi^uaiivv from the potato is taken as the measure of necessary labor, and the time gained is not profitably spent in developing other industries, but is apt to be passed in idleness. It is the world over, where the earth yields of its abundance almost without toil. tBaT- A prominent physician was seen buying a barrel of onions, and being guyed about his purchase, said: "I always have boiled onions for dinner for the benefit of my children. I like onions, too. They are the best medicine I know for preventing colds. Feed onions raw, boiled or baked, to the children three or four times a week, and they'll grow up healthy and strong. No worms, no scarletitia, nodiphtheriawherechildreneatplentifully of onions every day." Another distinguished physician confirmed the foregoing statement, adding: "I couldn't give better advice, no matter how hard I might try."
