Someone, evideutly a farmer, wri ting to one of our agricultural ex changes, appears to question the value of our so called agricultural colleges j and of “scientific” farming. He savs . j “We see a good deal written on apply ing commercial fertilizers to crops ; but the mat is yet to appear who shall give us a formula ior the application of these fertilizers, including the geueral list, that auy two farmets may follow with a costainty of a profitable result. Farmers leed their live stock as they did fifty years ago —cows on hay, corn stalks, ro >ts aud meal; hogs on corn, meal cooked or uncooked, boiled, mash es of potatoes, or roots with meal.— Just as they did when we old. men were boys ; aud the time, i fear, is away off in the impenetrable future oi' centuries after centuries, when farmers shall learn ‘how to make valuable fod der out of poor hay aud straw.’ ” > )tJ ’t bo too hasty iu your judgment. a ins can be applied to farming as Wu to ail other subjects, and their use win in the long run tell on the general productive result of our farms. Xt ♦ Scarcely a mail, says the Journal of Agriculture,” but bring us some inqui ry about sick hogs. Some tell us how the hog- are affected. Awhile others wish ;• us to pubii.-h a cure for the disease. — Were we feeding m raising h gs, we'| Would feed, water and salt regularly —• Were any to get sick, would remove them at once. We are inclined to the opinion that worms or parasites are the primary cause for the so-called hog cholera, and our medicine would be such as would be prescribed by a veter inary surgeon or physician. Copperas, charcoal, wood ashes and turpentiue are to some extent worm destroyers, aud can be profitably given to either grow ing or fattening hogs. A Mistake Often Made —Boys and young men sometimes start out in life with the idea that one’s success de j pends on sharpness and chicanery They imagine, if a man isalway- able to “get the best of a bargain.” no matter by what deceit aud meanness be carries his point, that his pio-perity is assured.— Enduring prosperity cannot be founded on 'running and dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful an is sere to fall , a victim, soon or late, to the influences ; that are forever working against him. j “His uonse is built upot the sand, aod j its foundation will be certain to give | way.” Young people cannot give these j truths too much weight The future of the young man is safe who es hews every of double deling and dis honesty, aud lays the foundation of his career in the enduring principles of ' everlasting truth. The Secret of Beauty. The secret of beautv is health.— i Those who desire to be beautiful sho Id do all they can to restore their health, if they have it still. No one can lay down specific rules for other people 11 these matters The work which one may do, the rust he uiu-t take, h s baths, his diet, his exercise, are matters for individual consideration, bat they mu-i be carefully th ught of aud never neg lected Asa rule, when a person feels well he look- well, and when he looks brad he feels bad, as a general tl inn.— There are times when one could gue-s. without looking in the i r ;ass, his eyes ‘ were dull and his skin mottled. This is cot a case ror something i.i a pretty bottle from the perfumeis, nr the lotion that the advertisements praise so high ly. To have a fresh couiple. and bright eyes, even to have white hands and a graceful figure, you must be well. Health, and the happiness which us ually comes with it, are the true secret3 j of beauty. He was a very inquisitive boy and he said, “Ma. will the heathens turn up when it comes resurrection day ?” “And the Missi maries they wli turn too?” • Ccr aioly, my son.” “Well, whe them cannibal heathens what's been feedia’ on missioners gets resurrected,things is going to he worse mixed up than the Presidential election ?” ‘‘lt is time you were in bed, my sou.” Futteiiiug Hattie. The Journal of Chemistry, in discus sing the question from a scientific stand point, says that poor animals consist of about two-thirds water, while fat ones only one-half, in the total weight, and coa.pares poor animals to bog meadows; It adds, that when the fattening process begins, water commences to disappear, and fat or suet takes its place ; and the increase in bulk during the process is largely of adipose matter. It is a curi ous circumstance that, Juiing the fat tening, the proteids, or nitrogenous compounds, increase only about seven per cent., and the hone material, or in organic substance, only one aud a half per cent. The cost to a farmer of fattening an ox is much greater at the close of the pro-ess than at the commencement ; : that is, increase in bulk or dry weight at that period is much more costly, if 1 it c ists three cents a pound for hulk fur ; the first month after a poor animal is ; put ii the fattening stall, it v ill cost five cents the last month. If, then, a Firmer c -nsults his money interests, he will not carry the iuerease in fat beyond : a certain point, provided he can turn his partially fattened animaF to fair ad vantage. Farmers have, perhaps, learn?, ed ihu- fact from experience and obser vation. and hence comparatively lean beef abounds in our markets. While this is of advantage to the farmer, it is very disadvantageous to consumers of the beef, tor' the flesh of a fat animal in every <-a- is much richer in fixed, r*our ishioe material, than that of* the lean, and if i never good economy to pur ch i-o lean beef. It is better to pur chase the poorest part of a fat animal than the best .fa lean one. The best piece of a fat ox (the loin') contains from twenty-one to twenty-eight per cent, more fixed material than the cor responding piece in a lean one, and cu riously enough the worst pieco in the lean animal ( he neck) is the richest iu nourishing material. The flesh of the neck improves very little in fattening, hence, economy considered, it is the best portion to purchase, as its value is in a measure a fixed one, ♦ -■ YoangUKcntucliy. The editor of the Lynchburg, Vir ginia, News, writing from Washington, says: We met on the floor a bright, eyed, ten-year old. handsome 1 irtie boy, a sou of Hon John Young Brown, of Kentucky.

Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill will 0“ h rd thoughts towards any one. What if ‘.his man has cheated you, or that woman played you false ? What if this friend has forsaken you in time of need, or that one having won you. con fidence. your warmest love, has conclu ded that he prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger ?
