PEOPLE’S FRIEND.
Carrying All the Paxtsin Farming.
Rotation in tanning is under
stood as an established necessity.
This with respect to crops;* and
the dairy is also included. With
the latter may I e put sheep. This
even where the land is more favor
able bargrain—where it may read
ily be worked and the soil is rich.
In this case many farms do with
out sheep, sheep being put on
hilly and less accessible land.
Sheep are probably here the most
benefit. But they w ill add to .the
income and benefit of any farm.
All the branches, at least as a
general thing, should be prose
cuted. This, for one thing, .to
meet all the market. If one or
more fails another may succeed;
some one or more products will
always succeed either in growth'
being affected by the season or
otherwise, in the market. It is sel
dom if ever, that all products fail,
both in productiveness and price.
Wool and mutton, and sheep in
consequence, have been a loss to
the general farmer for years till
recently. The fruit crop the pres
ent year are in the same condition;
so are potatoes; so are some other
products. Wheat is in demand; so
are mutton and sheep and other
products. Thus the products of
the farm is fluctuating, and this
yearly to a greater or less extent.
To prosecute one ora few branch
es alone is very risky; ruin is often
the result. With the dairy this
has less force; yet for the past
few years there has been loss; loss
with inferior and less properly
managed herds. Wheat was a
discouragement; now it begins to
look up again. Thus changes arc
constantly occuring. We need
not point out the folly of being
go vermal by these changes; and
yet this is done. There arc two
ways to take advantage of these
changes. One is to carry all the
branches (where climate ami soil
will admit); the other is to
thoroughly prosecute what is done
—better culture, better stock,
better treatment. During all the
time <>i the low price of wool ami
the loss in sheen, there were those
who made it pay. They had good
lambs ami a neat market and se
cured good fleeces from their well
kept flocks, and their mutton be
ing of a good quality, comman
ded a fait price; the whole put to
gether showing a fair profit on
the outlay; ami when the times
changed and wool and mutton
were in high they met
their golden opportunity; they did
not need to buy and then run the
risk of a fall in the price. So
with all kinds of produce of the
farm. The best always finds a
sale; ami il largely produced, on
judicious outlay, can not help but
remunerate when a good market is
readily accessable. ('attic ami
sheep should be kept as well as the
of her usual stock of the farm. Poul.
tn on a small scale can be made
to pay well. The same may Im* said
of swine. But there must be good
breeds and good treat meat; hap
hazard will not do. What ft r inn
can not have a place set apart for
fifty or a hundred hens! And if
no more than a dozen or twenty
sheep are kept—the best kind,
carefully fed ami attended to each
sheep averaging its lamb or more,
and often first quality as to size
and condition, the amount and
quality of wool to correspond who
cannot see that here is a nice
little income with a fair percen
tage of profit? You can make
much or little out of a sheep. Yon
thus have your lambs to sell,
vour wool, your eggs, a porker
or two, good surplus of butter
ftotu a lew cows—you haVts your oatr. your
wheat, youre »rn, your clover, and cornstalk
to feed, and your muothy to sell, you have
>otnc clover >eed to <lu>po#c of» some apples,
tuay be other fruit, grapes, berries, veg
enables you raise a calf or two. you raise tn
fine your own stock. \ou thu* have as
vhaucc for a perfect rotation, extended or
varied at pleasure. Your clover enriches
your Mid, so do your pasture and meadow
t'ropcri. managed; yout corn improves y 0...
laud. Inawotd. have an interest in
the inaiket of every taiiu product, an<* }ou
cau not fail to get a haigh price for som •
o f them every year, and a loss on no
with proper attention. Do what you <1 i„
the best way, then yon w ill ride the top o p
the wave. —F. G., in Thita Herald'
Grass and Pork.
Feed more grass! These three,
words contain and explain the
entire theory of that practice by
which any one can make hog rai
sing—during the cholera—as
profitable as the raising of any
other kind of stock, if not more
so, on account of their ready sale
in any market every year. When
I say feed more grass, I do not
mean to advise you to turn your
sows and pigs, and shoats and
stock hogs upon a short crop of
any kind of grass, or upon an old
field in which the noxious weeds
and briers luxuriate, or from
which the cream of the best and
richest herbage has been cropped
by your bunch of mules, cattle or
horses, and then expect your hogs
to flourish, grow and fatten for
the market, without feeding the
corn at all. By no means; for
bogs kept on such pasture must
have corn, and that in ample
quantities every day, if you would
realize anything from their
growth.
A small but excellent hog raiser
followed these rules: He fed
about sixty-five acres in cloverand
rye, while the clover was growing
rapidly, he ti rued in the smaller
ones: ami when it blossomed; he
turned them all in until the rye
was ripe enough, then turned
them all on the rye to eat it down,
and in this way the clover and
the rye reseeds fields for years.
Before the clover came, there was
always a good blue grass pasture.
The first of (ictober they were put
up and finished on corn. On this
plan his hogs wore always healthy
and his pork cheaply made.
Dreary Homes.
Os all the dreary places, deliver
us from the dreary farmhouses
which so many people call “home.
Bars for ti front gate; chickens
wallowing before the door; pig
pens elbowing the house in the
rear; scraggy trees never cared
for,or no trees at all; no flowering
shrubs, no neatness no trimness.
And yet a lawn,and trees, and a
neat walk, ami a pleasant porch,
and a plain fence around, do not
cost a great deal. They can be
secured little by little, at odd
times, and the expense hardly
felt. Ami if the time comes
when it is best to sell the farm,
fifty dollars so invested will often
bring back live hundred. For a
man is wrong who will not insen
sibly give ;i higher price for such
;i farm when he thinks of the
pleasant surroundings it offers
his wife and chidren.
Five Steps. — A man had com
mitted murder, was tried, found
guilty, and condemned to be han
ged. A few days before his ex
ecution he drew upon the walls of
his prison a gallows with five
steps leading u top it.
On the first step he wrote, “Dis
obedience to parents.”
On the second step, “Sabbath
breaking.”
On the third step, “ Gambling
and drimkeness. 44
On the fourth step.” Murder”
The fifth step was the platform
on which the gallows stood.
This poor fellow doubtless
wrote the history of many a
wasted and lost life.

Dr. R. V. Mitchelll have used your Ver
mifuge on my little son; he was having fre
quent spasms from worms; they brought them
in quantities and cured him. I gave your Di
arrhoea cordial to two of my neighbors’ little
children, and also to an old gentleman who
had suffered long with chronic diarrhoea.
They were all cured in a short time with it,
after having used everything else they could
hear of without any relief.
Your Liver Pills I have used with gcod re

preparations, and I conscientiously recom
mend them to the afflicted. Respectfully,
