authority within the community, allots
the penalties, which are promptly in¬

Thrifty Farming.
A great deal of the work in the newer
farming districts of the State is done by
men of small means, who often have
not finished paying for their land.
Sometimes they complain that it is hard
to get ahead, and it is true indeed that
many di*awbaeks exist which it is hard
to overcome No matter if the crop
fails the family must be supported, the
ordinary and expenses borne and the taxes
interest provided for. All this,
however, being admitted, the agricult¬
ural truth remains that failure oftenest
comes from want of care and economy,
want of observation, and want of ener¬
gy, or stated as a whole, thriftiness. Of
truly no industry said on earth can it be more
that “a penny saved is a
penny dustry gained ” Yet thei*e is no in¬
sub.-ect to so much waste as this,
none tba’ needs more care to prevent
leaks, and few that receive less. Afarrn
rightly dustries, considered is a network, of in¬
a vast combination of ma¬
chines. Nothing must be allowed to go
to waste. Indeed, this seems absolute¬
ly unnecessary with the varied oppor¬
tunities of disposing of all that is use ul
and using all refuse as. a fertilizer. But
this is not half the story. It needs ev¬
ery the soil energy to develop the capacity of
late them to receive fertilizers, to assimi¬
and to give them forth again
in bountiful crops. He must learn how
to cultivate the soil, how to drain it.
When the soil and climate will produce
thirty bushels per acre why raise half that
quantity? be When sixty bushels of corn can
raised per acre why raise only thirty?
On land that can be made to produce
two one? tons If of it be hay lack why be content with
of fertilization apply
that to be obtained to half the land. If
it i e for lack of labor to give proper
cultivation, far better to work half the
land and let the balance grow what it
will, to be fed off by the stock. The
, new farms may not be fitted for h.gh
farming, where but good farming can be every¬
raising applied. There is no need of
two head of cattle to produce
the same n eat that can easily be grown
in one, nor of feeding two sheep to pro¬
duce wool that one can easily grow.
Nor is this a complete statement of
the manner in which success is wrought
out things by the toiler. The farmer, all other
tomed being studying equal, who is most accus¬
to crops elsewhere, re¬
ports, statistics, methods of farming and
all that, will gather the greatest profit
from his investments and labor. When

a farm near
ly all that is eaten can be produced on
the farm. In consideration of the fact
that a large proportion of the good
things of life in the food line can be and
are grown on the soil of our own cli¬
mate, it is lamentable to see how poorly
supptied an: many farmer’s tables with
these same articles. There can be an
endless round of fruits and vegetables
for the whole three hundred and sixty
five days of the year. The whole list of
grains and meats can be had, ail of the
best quality and at cost price, no mid¬
dle-man’s commission or retailer’s profit
added.
It is true that the lack of ready mon
ey often prevents farm improvements.
Money could be used to good advantage, 5
if only money could be had. Labor* is
costly and on new farms it does not
bring ready returns, while most of it
goes into capital only in the wav of per¬
manent especially improvements. Hand labor
is expensive and slow and the
farmer must as soon as possible avail
himself of all the help attainable in the
way of machines and mechanical helps.
In newer neighborhoods farmer’s can
club together for purchase of stock or
implements otherwise quite beyond their
reach. They can buy mowers, harvest¬
ers, seed drills, ditchers, dredgers, levee
builders and many other useful and ia
ba>r saving implements; always remem¬

A Newport Romance.
The Jewish cemetery lies not far from
the synagogue in the sweep made by
Kay this street where it joins Touro. In
quiet spot twelve Jewish families
lie buried, and as we stood beneath the
trees that spread protecting amis over
the graves, Longfellow’s poem, written
after a visit to this cemetery, came most
vividly to mind. One verse especially,
as we looked at the neatly kept flower¬
bed, the turf so soft and well caved for.
the buds that bloomed above the dead,
came to our lips:
“ Gone are the living 1 but the dead remain
And ,
not neglected, for a hand unseen,
Scattering Still its bounty like summer rain,
keeps their graves and memory
green.”
In the inclosure are two graves so
near each other that as you stand bv one
your shadow falls upon the other; with¬
in them sleep two lovers, separated dur¬
ing life, but united long since by death.
Judah Touro and Catherine Hays were
cousins, and among the Jews it is a
crime for those so near of kin to marry.
True to the religion and traditions of
their race, they separated never to meet
again, Neithei* although they lived to be old peo¬
ple. with of them married, content
the memory of their love and the
hearing of each other’s welfare from
mutual friends. They both died in Jan¬
uary, 1754, when he was seventy-nine
years of a^e and Catherine was seventy
seven. His name was the last word she
uttered, and in his delirium before death
called him he talked of walking in a
beautiful garden with Catherine Hays,
his first and only love. Judah Touro,
however, did not let disappointment em¬
bitter his life, for he spent it in active
benevolence, and from a fund left by
him the means are provided to keep the
cemetery in order. It is told of him
that lie built churehes in New Orleans
for all sects, even contributing towards
the erection of a Unitarian [dace of wor¬
ship. On ]fis monument the following
words are cut: “ The last of his uanie,
he inscribed it in the book of philan¬
thropy t/j be remembered forever.” —

Dominie Stimson’s Wit.
Yesterday’s meeting of the Baptist
ministers was opened with prayer by
Father Stimson, of Kansas. Father
Stimson is eighty years old, and has
preached for fifty years. Stories are
told of him in which those who expect¬
ed to raise a laugh at the old Dominie
found the tables turned against them¬
selves in the most unexpected manner.
One runs as follows:
Father Stimson owned a good horse,
but the keeping of the beast was some¬
what of a drain on the Dominie’s pock
et, and he was in the habit of dropping
a hint to his little parishioners hay would once be in a
while that a aecept
able. One day a church member asked
him to bring Mrs. Stimson to dinner.
“ Certainly,” said Father Stimson,
“and, as it’s haying time, I guess I’ll
put some hay on the wagon when I go
back home.”
“All right, Father,” replied the
chur h member, “but bring a one
horse wagon.”
Father Stimson took his ... wi e to sup
per in a wagon with an ample hav-rick
that would hold a ha -stack.
“ bee here,” said the parishioner, . as
he helped Mrs. Stimson out of the hay
n '. k - “you sad yen were going to
bring a one-horse wagon, and now
you ve appeared with the most capa
cious hay apparatus 1 ever saw.
“Oh I ye brought the one-home
wagon ” said lather Stimson, ‘but the
hay-nek-that’s a two-horse hay-nek ”
He drove away a.ter supper with
twenty-two hundred pounds ot hay.
