Within the last year or two we can
number a half dozen of our funnel ac
quaintances who have been lured to fi
nancial destruction by the glamour of
specluation. Going back ten years, and
carefully looking up the history of the
men we know who have left the farm
engage in trade, we find that not one
in teu has succeeded. A. recent case
has come to our knowledge that is full
of instruction to those who are tempted
to leave the farm. By his own exer
tions alooe t this farmer had accumulated
a handsome competence, and at the age
of fifty could look with pride over his
broad acres of rich land, his fine herds,
flocks and comfortable buildings. lie
was oiL or debt, and had a handsome
surplu. in the bank. Two years ago, in
an evil haur, he was induced to invest in
a dry goods store. Last fall his farm
and stock were sold for debt, and he is
reduced to the necessity of day labor to
support his large and yet dependent fa in
ly. Ail the accumulation of over twen
ty years’ toil —many of them years of
privation and tlie closest economy—swept
away in a few months by this demon,
speculation. And this is not a solitary
case. Every reader can count similar
ones in his list of acquaintances. They
all teach one grand lesson —slick to your
legitimate business, in which you have
succeeded— u Let well enough alone.”—
A man ffho Las lived all his life on the
farm stands but little chance tli compete
successfully wbh the men who have been
educated and trained for speculative pur
suits. The two occupations are exs
tiemes —honest toil at one end, and the
tricks of trade at the other. If yon
have a good farm k op it, improve it,
adorn it, be proud of it, and when you
are doce with it, hand it down to your
children —the best inheritance with a
good education, that you could leave
them. All that we have of wealth, all
that we have of art, all that we have of
culture, is the result of labor. There-'
fore, no man should be afraid of work,
or neglect to teach his children how to
work, even if he has to employ some
one else to do it.— Exchange.
Cloyeii A Paying Crop.—South
ern farmers, as well as Northern are
learning that clover lies at the basis of
all good farm farming. It has been be
lieved by some that clover would not
succeed in the South. This we think
a mistake. There is one danger to
Northern clover fields from which
Southern farms are except —that is
that of winter killing, and this probably
offseason most cases the danger from se
vere and dry weather in summer. Clo
ver has a deep root, if that once strikes
down it is not easily destroyed by drought
where the soil is rich enough to encour
age vigorous growth and retain inois
ture.
Weak Eves in Horses. — Make up
a wash of alum and water which reduce
to blood hcf.t, and with a quill blow the
liquid into the eye. After trying the
above three times, take a piece of alum
as large as the end of one’s finger, and
after burning it in the fire, reduce it to
a fine powder and blow it stoutly by the
same process into the eye. We have
tried burnt alum bn a number of horses
that have had sore eyes and have al
ways found it a valuable remedy. It
will remove all scum and restore clear*
ness to the eye, —American Stock Jour
nal.
—< *—
Farms which are devoted to raising
stock that consume the crops grown up"
on them, are loss rapidly exhausted then
those from which the crops of grain and
hay are sold. Upon farms where the
grains, nay, straw and offal are fed to
stock, the farmer may realize a double
profit ari ing from the sale of his stock ;
and second, fiom the larger quantity of
manure he makes and applies to the im..
provementof his fields, and thereby in
creasing the quantity of grain, and thus
he is enabled to add to the number of
h!s stock.
Deep plowing is good practice when
you have a deep soil. It is better for
some crops than for others. Plow deeps
er for grain and especially corn since
our short summer corn will mature quick
er if the routs are not obliged to go
down into a cold subsoil for nutriment.
But with shallow plowing you must have
pleuty of plant food mixed with the
surface soli, sinci you desire to confine
the root to that for the sake of the
warmth. But above all, beware of deep
plowing in shall w soil.
Gold Feet. —Cold feet are the pre
cursors of consumption. To escape them
warm your feet well in the morning, and
covering the sole with a piece of com
mon pap?r, carefully draw on the sock
trad then the boot or shoe.
A Small piece of paper or linen
moistened with the spirits of turpentine
and put into a bureau or wardrobe for a
single day, two or three times, is said
to be a sufficient preservative against
moths.
Kisses*. —Beat the whites of four eggs
four cups of powder°d sugar slowly
toaron with, lemon, dip writing paper in
very cold water and drop the mixture on
Lot too close; try oub and if not stiff
