Horses for the Farm. It is with horses as with men, says the American Cultivator. Large size and great weight do not always indicate the | )OH8ession of the greatest strength,much less of that more important quality, eu durance. When our civil war broke out army surgeons were often surprised to find that many soldiers of apparently ex cedent physique, large, hearty and strong, hardships broko down early under the of the march, while others that at first seemed more frail toughened under exposure, and rallied quickly when in hospital from wounds. We are told that “the spirit of a man will bus tain his infirmities; but a wounded spirit who can bear'” tie is no clear-sighted lover of the hoiso who does not see some applicability vorites. of this quotation to his fa The life, spirit and energy of a tho* finer oughbred horse seem more akiu to the attributes of a noble man than are the charac teristics of any other domestic animal. The horse possesses great in tclligence, with and at the best often contrasts i-orae brutal and inhuman owner, and almost as strongly as the satirist has of portrayed the in his mocking representation traveler Uulliyer, who was left ia his wandering to contemplate the great inferiority of man as compared with the Hounhymas in the land where their su premacy A horse was his unquestioned. at best must be well bred, well fed and have received during not only his own life, but generations be fore, a great deal of intelligent human kindness. It is not possible to build up at once a horse, however perfect inform, that has not enjoyed these advantages, If we hear occasionally ot neglected or even abused young horses that afterward provo great winners on tho turf, it is always easy to show that they owe their success to some straiu of blood further back that has tho making of spirit and endurance in it. These horses, better cared for in their inter years, produce progeny that excel themselves. And, aside from all desire for increased speed, the energy and especially the endurance, which characterizes tho best race horse, are almost equally important for farm uses and heavier woik anywhere. labor, Weight counts for something in heavy but character counts for still more, Add to the massive proportions ot tho Clydesdalo the or the more compact solidity of Percheron a slight strain of the old Diomcd, Messcnner or Morgan blood and there can be little doubt that it will produce an animal fitted alike for the heaviest pulling or for good traveling on the road.

Washington's Death and Obsequies, After Washington’s retirement to Mount Vernon he busied himself with his farming interests, and during the last few weeks of his life he was occu heeaid at the t.me, “Uto have all theie c ° ncerns in such a clear and distinct form that no reproach can attach itself to me when j have taken my departure for the land of spirits.” This system of farm management was intended for his overseers. It was written out on thirty folio pages, and completed December 10, 1790. The Washington next day there was mud and rain, and noted in his diary that the at night there was a large circle round , moon. The morning of the 12th was overcast. That morning he wrote »long wrote—in letter to Hamilton—tho last he military ever academy. regard to a plan for a About 10 o'clock he started on horseback to make his usual round of his farms. Soon after noou it began to Notwithstanding snow, and then turned to a cold rain. the inclemency of the weather he continued to ride on, and did not return to his house until after 3. Wh^n his secretary, Mr. Lear, expressed the fear that he was wet, he ! answered no, his great coat had kept him dry, and sat down to dinner without changing The night his dress, was a very stormy one, and the next morning he complained of a sore throat. In the eveniug he was hoarse, but in spite of his hoarseness lie occasionally read pas-ages aloud to his secretary and Mrs. Washington from the newspapers which had been brought in from the posto.lice. When urged to take some medicine before retiring he replied: “No: you know I never take" anthing for a cold. Let it go ns it came.” That night he became extremely ill— he had a severe chill and experienced much diiliculty in breath ng. But he would notallow the household to be dis turbed until morning. Then a gargle was prepared for his throat, but in the attempt to apply it he was almost suffo cated. A servant was dispatched to Al exnndria for Dr. Craik, and in the mean time he was bled by one of his ovei seers, Dr. < raik arrived about nine o'ciock and later in the day two other physicians were called. All the efforts of the doctors to relieve him were unavailing, and between ten and eleven o'clock that, night he died, Mrs. Washington sat at the foot of the foot of the bed watching him when his spirit asked, passed away. “Is he gone?” she in a calm tone. Dr. Craik was unable to speak, but held up his hand » s a signal that Washington was dead, “It is well,” said the grand old dame. “All is now over. I shall soon follow him.” Washington expired without a struggle or a sigh. From the fir>t he be lieved the attack would prove fatal and during the day frequently gave ex pres¬ 8 ' 0n to the feeling or resignation with which he met his end. The r< mains of the Father of his Country were buried in the family vault at Mount Vernon on the 18th of Decem¬ ber. The rubbish had been cleared away from the entrance to the tomb and a door made to close the vault, which before had been closed with brick. A schooner was placed in the river to fire minute guns and there were eleven pieces of can non in the funeral procession, which be gau to move about three o’clock.

The incident occurred in 1842, when Evarts was only 24 yean old, and a slim young lawyer with his an old-fashioned choker ool lar, and interrogative forefinger just beginning to be a noticeable part of his practice. He was tyien a criminal prac¬ titioner, and giving glimpses of that pe¬ culiar mastery of sentences of all sizes which has kept pace with the effective use of his forefinger. “Monroe Edwards, a very skillful and conscientious penman had forged a check, got caught, and hired young Evarts to save him from Sing Sing. The trial came on on June 0, and lasted six days. The future Senator stabbed at witness after witness with his deadly forefinger interrogatories, and finally appealed to the jury for his clients acquittal. It was a marvelous speech, full of fire and im¬ petuosity the talk of youthful enthusiasm. It was of the courts for months, and liam undoubtedly Maxwell's laid the basis of Wil¬ fame as an advocate. But the jury freed itself from the glit¬ tering heap of brilliant sentences that young Evarts -piled up on them, and found Edwards guilty. The Judge com¬ plimented Sing Evarts, and then sent Ms client to Sing for ten years. The prisoner complimented and just Evarts on his elo¬ quence, too, before he walked into the Sheriff’s carriage to go to the Sing Sing train gave the tall young law¬ yer a well-known neat check, bearing the signature of a man. It was for seve¬ ral hundred dollars, and William Max¬ well went proudly to the bank with it after he had bade his client good-by. “ ‘No good,’ said the bank cashier, when Evarts handed it up for deposit. well “ ‘Why!’ cried young William Max¬ in amazement. “ The signature is a forgery, sir,’ the cashier responded. “It is related that this was the only occasion in his lifetime that, given a chance to use some vigorous and impres¬ sive sentences, William Maxwell Evarts let the opportunity slip. He simply stare 1 at the check in silence.” Keeping Sheep or Cows. In considering the profit derived from keeping cows or sheep, says Farmer into Stewart, many and, things have to be taken account, first of all the ability of the farmer to manage either. Gener¬ ally speaking, one branch of business is profitable well managed. aa another dairy if both are equally A of cows used for making butter which sells for 18 to 20 cents per pound may be made very profitable in the if right the right kind of cows are ke pt way. If 200 pounds of butter are made yearly from each cow it gives $40 yearly income, and the skimmed milk would make at least $1$ worth of pork and rear a calf worth $5. This gives $55 as the yearly income from a cow. By good management a cow can be kept on three acres of land, and by soiling on one acre or a little more. For 100 acres, then, an income of $1,600 should be made, which would leave • very good profit, as other crops could be grown to pay all the cost of laboi and purchased food. On 100 acres 300 sheep would should should be kept, and each sheep or bring in $1.50 foi wool and $3 for a lamb. This would give an income of $1,350 from the Hock and the grain raised would pay all ex¬ penses. Less labor would be required than for the cows This seems to show that on equal conditions thc cows would bring in the m st money and profit, and if choice cows were kept which would make 300 pounds of butter yearly and the butter could be sold for 30 or 40 cents a $25 pound, and the heifer calves be worth each, all of which is possible, the profit of the dairy would be fai greater than from the flock oi sheep. A Mean Man. The Philadelphia Neva says: Old Billy W. was one of the richest men who lived some fifteen yenrs ago, in that part oi West Philadelphia called Mantua, and one of the meanest men who ever drew breath. One day he took a Lancastei Avenuo car for the city, carrying in hit hand a basket of sup rb white grapes, raised in his own greenhouse. Old Billy W. sat in one corner of the car and a poor mother with a sickly child in hei lap sat in the corner opposite. Th« child looked at the grapes wistfully, at the car rolled on, square after square. At last the old man in a tone of rasping curiosity asked the child where she wai going. “To the park, sir, to see the grass and thc birds.” “Do you like grapes?” “Yes, sir,” and the pale little face brightened up as the child half rose from her mother's lap. The old man lifted up his basket of luscious fruit and plucking one grape from child. a gigantic bunch, gave it to the 1 he rest of the passengers said noth¬ ing, ’ ut the way they locked at the old man would have split a stone post. At a Christmas tree at one of the col¬ ored churches in Elberton, Ga., as but few of the mem! ers could read or write, they selected a girl who had been to school to write the names on the pres¬ ents. When they were distributed and the names called out, the assembly waa greatly surprised and to find valuable that all the handsomest most presents had on them the name of the girl that did the writing. An indignation meet¬ ing was held, and a redistribution was had. Archdeacon Farrar tays that “inIndia the English have made one hundred drunkards for one Christian.” The Effects ofMental Exhaustion.
