But while many are largely the victims of circumstances and are forced to contend with obstacles, may find some relief in the fact that every man has a certain pliancy of character, a certain susceptibility to culture, which makes him in great degree the creature of adaptability, and although his path shall not be without thorns, if, in over coming his unfortunate surroundings he grows strong in will and the power to do, he has fulfilled his destiny, although in a round about way. Kven if n farmer does not like his business, if lie but do his duly he will succeed; a moral growth will attend his lnb>r; with each succeed ing dawn and sunset fresh glories will float athwart his soul, and his love of the true, the bountiful and the good, will develop with his strength. Plowing. There is not only a necessity to have a good, sharp plow, hut thorough work should l»c done with it. When we say thorough work, our meaning is, the soil should ho thoroughly pulverized, dis solved into such fine particles that the ground is fully and finely ground up. The beauty and benefit of plowing is to deepen the seed lied and bring the sub soil into contact with the light and air for chemical operations. One acre well plowed is worth two lmdly done. In doing this kind of work, stand like n man souaro between the plow handles with stitV arms, and do not permit the plow to swerve from its course. Lift a little oil your handles, with your eye ahead of the horse, turning every inch. And after using the plow, do not hang it on the fence, or in a tree, to be ex posed to the weather, but clean it well and put it away under cover. Corn for I'.-itInline llous.

There Is no better fertilizer for plant food than cotton seed, yet many farmers are willing to dispose of them at almost any price. A ml not only cotton seed are given away by farmers, or sold, but other things are disposed of from the farm widen should remain there and be utilized. Farmer, keep your cotton seed—scatter them over your land and ill pay you a better profit than if They not only assist in making good crops, but will help to restore fer tility to the soil. • Tigs if early furrowed in the spring, if operly cared for, will make good hogs anything likely so cheaply after cold weather sets m as before. Warm and well ventilated pens go far towards mod ifying the unfavorable influence of clL mate, but even then, the feeder fails to get the same return for food consumed as he usually gets for feeding through the summer and autumn. Fertiliser* for House IMnnt*. Overwatering is the cause of much of the ill health of plants. Frequently plants are supposed to require some stimulating fertilizer, when in reality the trouble is too much water. When plant: are in a nourishing condition, then fer tilizers may lie useful, especially if the soil in in the pots is rattier n hard-wooded, slow-growing plants flour of bone is a good fertilizer, a tablespoon- fill being formed into the soil of the pot. For soft-wooded, quick growers a liquid fertilizer may be used. This may he guano, a tnblespoonful to a gallon of water; soot, two tablespoonful to a gal lon, or liquid hartshorn, one ounce to the gallon. Water the plants with eitlv these, instead of clear water, onci twice a week, as the condition of the plants requires. IIAIKY \OTI.!S. The milk trade of the Aylesbury dairy company of Loudon now amount 700,000 gallons a year. Farmers can not be too careful in pro viding shelter and plenty of good food 5 >r stock now. Many diseases that check the flow of milk can be traced to the sudden change of temperature, which a generous supply of nutritious food would enable them to withstand. Turnips fed to cows increase the flow of milk, and aid to the digestion of hay and other dry fodder. Well fed and well housed calves will go through the winter in good condition mil pay for their keeping and care. The question of profit in dairying •ften depends on the question whether .he cow, as a milk producing machine, ball feed to its fullest capacity, or only just enough to keep in operation.

In the early stages of fattening, hogs need room, f.iV vfxecalsing, with wheat bran, Charcoal and sulphur occasionally, i« keep them in condition and increase the size of hone and muscle, for when quite heavy they need only rest. Why So ? A correspondent writes asking why farming is called a science and an art ? As a. science it teaches why it is neces sary to plow ; as an art it tcacheshow to plow. When we speak of the art of phiutiiir, it hit* reference to the inunne of putting seed in the ground, the maune of cultivating and working the crop and the cart of it.

Luring the session of the late Episco* pvl Convention in Boston, the Bishop of Louisiana in crossing the Common, met a boy whose face he fancied, and, call ing him, asked if he had anything to do just then, to which he said: "' T ” ‘No.’ 1 low scratched his head and replied: “ I am not a very good boy. I cuss a little sometimes.’’ That candid answer inspired the Bishop with confidence, and he then said, after giving his name and address: “ I want you to go to a certain place and get a bundle for me, and bring it to my hotel. There will be a charge of $8 n ounige ui , , . for it, and half dollar which you will keep for doing the errand.” On his return to the hotel, the Bishop's friends laughed at him for his credulity, telling him that he would never see the boy or the bundle or the money again, but in half an hour the young chap returned, bringing the bun dle. and a receipted bill for 18.60, the Bishop having made a slight mistake as to the amount that was due. “ How did you manage to pay the extra half dol* lar?” he inquired. “ I took the money you gave me for the job. 1 knew that you would make it all right.” And ‘‘all right” it wax made, and I have no doubt the confi dence that was reposed in that boy, be cause of his truthfulneas, will do him good as long as he lives. i I.HiirOntr* Wory How She nepui Traveling tinder Chutw.

The reporter paid the lea and »*■ ushered in. At the back of the room behind a railing stood a young girl whose pretty face was surmounted by a mass of light brown hair which stood on end after the fashion described by the Ghost in “Hamlet.” “What is this?” he asked of the girl, by way of introduction. “Python, the monster from the bank* of the Nile,” she replied, with great earnestness “Did you run away irom home to go with the show?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because I could not live at home; they treated me so badly; they could not have treated a dog worse.” “Wae your mother cruel to you?” “My mother is dead, sir, and I lived with my grandmother.

Alfred de Musset always declared that he hated dogs, for the reason that twioe in his life an animal of the oagine race had come within an acre of wreck ing his fortunes. The first time was at a royal hunting party when the poet, Louis Philippe’s guest, when a bird was flushed, fired and sent the Citizen- King's favorite pointer to meet Cer berus. The second time was when, a candidate for the Academie, De Musset went to pay the customary visit to an influential Immortal whose chateau was in the environs of Paris. At the mo ment that the poet rang at the gate an ignoble whelp of incredible ugliness, covered with mud, rushed to meet him with joyous barks and fawned upon him to the detriment of the poet’s new pantaloons. Disgusted as De Musset was, it would have been perilous to drive off the Immortal’s faithful dog, so he was compelled to let the frightful animal lick his hands, cover him with caresses aud mud, and precede him into the drawing-room. A moment later the Academician entered. De Musset noticed his embarrassment, at which he was not surprised, considering the be havior of the animal. They adjourned to the dining-room, followed by the dog, which, after giving vent to his delight by various gambols and cries, placed two muddy paws on the cloth, seized the wing of a cold chicken and began contentedly to devour it. “ That’s the most abominable brute I ever heard of,” thought De Musset, and continued aloud, “You are fond ol dogs.” “But this animal here?” “ I have only tolerated the beast be cause it is yours, air F* “ Mine?” said De Musset. “ 11nought it was yours, which was all that pre vented me from killing him 1” The two men roared with laughter, mid De Musset made a friend.

A v ‘h John Doe. enterprise.J on Doe!” ♦ant remark o! ■‘vening, as the Prof. A. Bronson Alcott, of Concord, Mass., is paying a visit to his nephew, Charles A. Bailey, of this city. Prof. Alcott ia a wonderful mau in many respects. He was born near Concord, November 29, 1799, .and is now in his 80th year. While still very young he engaged in the business of peddling, and from 1823 to 1839 was engaged in school keeping. For the last forty years he has stood first as an ideal re former, aud the representative of a school of thought and ethics, of which be was one of the founders, in New England. Since 1836 Mr. Alcott has abstained from the use of animal food. His long white hair hangs in flowing ringlets over his shoulders; his eye is as keen and bright as that of a man of ;y; his smooth shaven face bears but le impress of his advanced age; lie neither smokes nor chews, and to day is perfect picture of sturdy health. Mr. Alcott was troubled with deaf ness, but is as bright and entertaining in conversation as any man of the day. In 1879 Prof. Alcott organized the Cou- cord Summer School of Philosophy and Literature and was chosen Dean of the Faculty. He is n graphic writer and has contributed largely to tho sound literature of the day. Miss Louisa M. Alcott, the well-known writer, who has given to the world such productions as “Little Men,” “Littlo Women.” etc., is the daughter of A. Bronson Alcott. Many of ner works have been translated into French and German, and there are now few living authors whose works are to universally read. Mr. Alcott left for Cole Creek this morning to visit Mr. Bailey’s sister, and on Saturday will leave for Cleveland. It is to be hoped that the necessary arrangements for a lecture by this noted man can be perfected. Prof. Alcott has several lectures on different subjects, and lie would be certain to draw out a largo and appreciative audience.. Flush la used to excess on Parla dresses.

It is amusing to read the various and conflicting instructions which writers volunteer to parents respecting the care and education of their children. In tho latter particular is the conflict oi “ au thority ” wonderfully marked. One day the parent is informed, on such aud such authority, tlmt the health of liis offspring is being incurably impaired by close confinement in the school room; that more discretion should be exercised in fixing the hours of study. Right on the heels of this valuable advice comes information from another “ eminent authority,” like the following for in stance: The rush of our American life cuts all too short the time of our young people in school. Let them, parents, remain every hour it is possible for them to do so. The whole nation is iu want of extended, thorough culture on the part of our young people; and the parents Are often more than half to blame. The absence ot your boy girl from ‘-lasses one day in a month is quite sufficient to render fruitless all the efforts of the teacher in behalf of your child. The most brilliant instruc tor is powerless to help a child who ia absent one day in twenty. Send your children. All of them l Everyday! If parents giveall the different advices met with daily any attention, it must be a great satisfaction to them to know that their action in the matter under tho direction of Professor Snooks has been in direct opposition to the ideas of Professor Botch. Married people who consider themselves unable to assume he care of children, educational or herwise, should never have any.
