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.
