Common Sense about Cows.
I know a cow, of go particular breed,
sow fourteen years old, which in ber
prime made fourteen pounds of butter a
week in June, and a proportionate quan
tity the remaining months of the year.
tShe gave milk at two years old, went
furrow the next year, being In new milk
every year since until this year ; is now
frrrow, and will go to the butcher next
year, because It ts not thought advisable
to keep a cow beyond this sge. She never
knew what it was to be too hungry ; bss
access to salt at all times, with plenty of
water ; is never forced, having nothing
but her pasture in summer, and in win
ter never more than six quarts of meal a
day (generally corn and oats), with roots
(usually potatoes) acd cornstalks or hay,
and a run at the strawstack through the
middle of the day. unless it be too
stormy, then she ts foddered in her sta
ble. Of ber calves, her heifers are as gocd
milkers as herself, ber steers make good
beef cattle, and all are as tractable and
docile as herself, all being treated with
the same consideration. Perhaps one
farmer in a hundred ts able to keep pure
blood of whatever breed his fancy may
dictate, and such a farmer Is a boon to
his neighborhood; but the ninety-nine
must be content with what they have.
Their success lies in making the best of
s-rerythlng In their hands. Let these
xarmers breed to the best ibey can afford,
of course, but let tbein take as good
care of their inferior stock as they do of
their thoroughbreds, and mark the re
sult. To the good food and warm
shelter let them add the currycomb and
brush ; exact kindness of their hired
help in their care ; and in a few years
they wilt be as proud of their stock as
the neighbor of his thoroughbreds, and
In most ways they will bring just as
good return, without that heavy expen
diture which the ninety-ulne cannot
afford.
English Weddings.
A singular Instance of how Britons
ding to custom was the universal prac
tice of celebrating weddings in the morn
ing. I believe. Indeed, that the law de
clared all marriages illegal not cele
brated in the morning. This was very
ancient law ; it baa long been thought
very absurd and ridiculous, but it wss
the custom, and so every one observed
it. But the law was an abridgment of
personal liberty, under which English
men are always resttive, and so about a
year ago It was repealed. But now that
they can be married in the afternoon or
evening if they please the majority still
told to che morning Idea. A morning
wedding here la quite different from the
rule In America. In whatever grade of
life fiom the highest to the lowest the
wedding occurs ; it means a jolly good
time for all the relatives and friends.
There must be a wedding breakfast,
even If the table can only be spread with
cakes and ale. The bride's health must
be proposed In a set speech and drunk
with a bumper. A wedding in the
afternoon Is not, according to estlquette.
considered as calling for these enter
tainments, and is therefore much less
expensive to those concerned. With
the higher and more wealthy classes the
pecuniary consideration has Influence,
and the poorer classes here, as every
where, seem to have a pride In holding
to the display of tradition and custom,
oftentimes imposes upon them. The
middle classes have more Independence,
and the afternoon weddings are moetlj
confined to their circle.
A Girl's Composition.
Several good compositions written
by boys on the subject of girls are going
the rounds. Here is a little girl's com
position on bora, in which she shows
that ber sex, no matter how young, can
get ahead of the boys every time :
"Boys are men thst have not got as
big a their papas, and girls are young
women that will be young ladles by and
hy. Msn was made before women.
When CoC looked at Adam He said to
Himself, Well, I guess I can do better
If I try again, and then He made Eve.
God liked Eve so much better than
Adam that there has been more women
than men ever since. Boys are a trouble.
Tbey are wearing on everything but
soap. If I had my way half the boys
la the world would be little girls, and
the rest would be dolls. My paoa is so
nice that I guess he must have been a
girl when he was a boy.

Wealth and all that it Implies cannot
be an efficient solstltnte for those high
er tendencies wblcb expand the mind
while subdalas; the passions, which
teach the inferiority of pursuits and de
sires, bounded by the narrow space of
physical existence, which lend to the
doctrine of human brotherhood a mean
in(f and a force it cannot derive from
mere philosophy, and which afford a
compensation for the trials of circum
stance and condition in gi-lnsr. to those
who follow them a contentment inde
pendent of fortune and a hope beyond
the reach of human vicissitude.
Let a man's innocence be what it will,
let his Tlrtnea rise to the highest pitch
or perfection, there will still be in him
so many secret sins, so may offenses of
ignorance, passion and prejudice, so
that without the advantage of each an
expiation and atonement as Christianity
has revealed to os, it is impossible he
should be saved.
By discovering his prevailing ol
cieociea, and ordering his life and hab
its so as to counteract them, a man may
exercise that true self control which is
alone worthy of the name. No wiser
or more valuable lesson can be learoed
in the whole rystem of edacatlon than
thus to know self and to minister to Its
deepest needs.
At almost every step in life we meet
with young men from whom we antici
pate wonderful things, but of whom
after careful Inquiry, we never hear an
other word. Like certain chintzes, cal
icoes and gingbsms, they show finely
on their first newness, but cannot stand
the run and rain, and assume a very
sober aspect after washing day.
Violence ever defeats Its own ends.
Where yon cannot drive you can always
persuade. A gentle word, a kind look,
a good natured smile can work wonders
and accomplish miracles. There is a
secret pride is every human heart that
revolts at tyranny. You may order and
drive aa individual, but you cannot
make bim respect yon.
Many flower open to the sun. but
only one follows bim constantly.
Heart, be tbou the sunflower, not only
open to receive God's blessiog, but con
stant lc looking to Him.
Fine sense and exalted sense are
not half so valuable as common sense.
He who carries nothing about bim but
gold will be every day at a loss for
ready change.
Biroiae ef the Unkaewa Dead.
One of the most touching features of
the Arlington Cemetery, at Washing
ton, perhaps is the most touching, la the
monument to the "Unknown Dead."
It is only a few steps from the site se
lected for Sheridan's tomb, and around
it lie over two thousand soldiers who
were unidentified and who were oalv
"unknown dead." It is a sad and start
ling fact that of the more than a quar
ter of a minion dead who sleen In the
national cemeteries of the country al
most one-half are unknown." There
are eighty-two national cemeteries scat
tered through the couutry. In these
rest 334.000 dead soldiers. Of these
334 000 graves. 143,000 bear the sad
words "unknown," This Is especially
true of those In tne extreme Southern
States. In misalssippi, for instance.
there are buried over 23.000, and of this
numberless than 5000 are identified.
Another curious fact : Did it ever oc
cur to you that men who gave their
lives to prevent certain States from se
ceding now sleep in the soil of those
States ? Anyway, it is a fact. There
are la Virginia 17 national cemeteries,
which contain almost 75,000 dead, of
whom over one-half ara anknown. Of
the 82 national cemeteries of the coun
try three-fourths are in the States
which were in sympathy with the Con
federacv, and of the 324.000 dead who
He in Southern soil.
Campher-Xaklag la Japan.
Camphor is made in Japan in this
way : After a tree is felled it is cut
up into chips, which are laid in a tub or
a large iron pot, partially filled with
water and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly sises and heating the cuIds
generates oil and camphor. Of course.
the tube with the eblpa has a closely fis
ting cover. From this cover a bamboo
pipe leads to aauceession of other tubes
with camboo connections, and the last
of these tubes is divided into two com
partments, one above the other, the di
viding floor being perforated with email
holes to allow the water and the oil to
pass to the lower compartment. The
upper compartment is supplied with a
straw layer, which catches and holds
the camphor lo crystal ia deposit as It
pasaes to the cooling process. The
camphor Is then seperated faom tha
straw, packed la wooden tubs and is
ready tor market. The oil ia used
by the natives fur Illuminating and
medical purposes.
Wherb no stock is kept, and manure
must be made for a gaiden, an excel
lent mode of so doing is to begin with
a pile of dirt, upon which all the waste
water and refuse should be thrown.
It Bbould be covered to prevent Injury
by rain. Each family wastes enough
every season to highly manure a garden
plot.
Tns lawn mower will insist lo kill
ing weeds If used frequently. Many
weeds die and disappear If not allowed
to go to seed, but if seed be produced
the weeds spring up next season. By
mowing the grass the weeds ara also
cut down, and if the work be well done
the weeds will be replaced by a thicker
growth of grass.
Cut down the worn out, worthless
tree. It occupies a good place without
paying rent. Tut a new top on a vigor
ous tree which bears little or inferior
fruit. It is a hearty eater without
paying the fall equivalent or Its food.
Insist on your good pay by making It
yield good fruit and plenty of it.
When cleaning out purslane not a
leaf aboold be left in the ground. It
is a persistent weed, and can only be
destroyed by exposing every part of
the plant to the sun.sossto scorch It.

Farm 5o(es.
Kye is a crop that can be made to
render more service to tbe farmer and
dairyman than any other, yet is more
frequently overlooked and discarded
tnaa It sbonld be. It is a plant that
not only endar-s tbe cold of winter and
tbe beat of summer, bat it will grow on
tbe richest soil or tbe poorest . sandy
land. In some sections it is really tbe
clover of sandy soili, for without its
aid tbe advantages of green manuring
would be unavailable, and as it can be
made to impart more to tbe soil than it
takes from it tbere is no risk in grow
ing it under any conditions. Even tbe
seed is cheap while tbe cultivation ne
cessary is very little compared with
other crops. As a profitable grain crop
it is behind oats, wheat, barley and
corn, but tbe straw is more valuable
than that of any ether crop, for which
it is sometimes grown alone.
Leaving out the value of rye as a
grain crop entirely it still ranks high in
more ways than one. The fact that it
can be sown in tbe fall, and made to
produce a late supply of green food
after other grasses have ceased growing,
should prompt farmers to devote a space
to rye every season, but its usefulness
extends further. Tbe severe cold of
the hardest winters will not injure It,
and early in the spring, long before
grass begins to grow, rye appears in its
green condition to afford a supply of
succulent herbage to tbe stock at a time
wbn it is most needed. It allows tbe
stock tbe privilege of eating off the
early growth, and when tbe grass ap
pears, and the rye is no longer required,
it will grow out again and make a crop
of grain. It can then, in early spring,
if preferred by tbe farmer, be plowed
under instead of being allowed to seed,
and it will provide ar excellent manure
for tbe corn crop.
In one respect rye is a cheap crop be
cause it requires no land for its growth,
to a certain extent. That la. If the
eeed Is sown in the fall on land inten
ded for corn In the spring, aud the rye
turned in before planting corn, the rye
simply holds tbe land that would other
wise be unoccupied durinsr tbe winter
It is also excellent on land intended for
potatoes, and, as it saves much labor in
that respect.
As rye can be pastured at nearly all
stages of growth, and can be turned
under as a green manurial agenS at any
time, the farmer wbo tails to sow it
will deprive himself and bis stock of a
most valuable plant, and as it can be
seeded down at any time at this season
tbe land for that puipose should be pre
pared wlthont delay. Of coarse, It
thrives best on rich land, but even the
poorest son snonia re sowed to rye
ratnar man to leave it unoccupied.
All green material, no matter ho
Dcixy, will soon decompose if turned
under by the plow or covered in the
manure heap. Hence, now is the time
to torn under all green growth that
may be unserviceable, such as weeds.
etc If the work be delayed nntll the
frost kills them they will dry on tbe
surface of tbe ground, become cured,"
and decompose very slowly. It is of
more value to the soil to turn under the
green growth, as it then adds a larger
proportion of fertilizing material to the
soil
A sick horse is as unfit tn work as a
sick man, and animals that are kept
boused most of the tim are easly in
jured by exposare to storms. It is not
advisable to blanket horses in stables
except for a little while when brooeht
In after working and when wet either
from sweat or rain. The change to a
horse blanketed in the stable when tak
en out in cold or stormy weather makes
the animal especially liable to take cold.
in a barn tbe natural coverinar of bair
over a horse Is sufficient. Animals ex
posed to tbe storms and changes of
weather Incident to farm work should
not be clipped.
When sowed corn begins to turn yel
low from being sown too thickly it
ceases to acquire any additional value.
Not only does growth cease, but tbe
plant becomes watery and insiped. Cows
will eat it, but their milk will shrink
as compared with ever fair pastuie. To
give really nutritions sulks sowed or
drilled corn should have room enough
to grow in, so that most of the stalks
would at least set a nubbin. When
this is the case tbere is a great amount
of sweet ia the stalk.
When a peach tree begins to look
somewhat yellow, and tbe limbs are
bare of leaves, remove the earth from
around the trunk to the depth of six or
eisbt inches. Leave it so for a few
days. Then look for the borer, which
may be found by noticing tbe gum and
chips. Then fill the hole with coal
ashes, and replace the earth. Tbe borer-moth
will not lay her eggs where tbe
tree is well surrounded with coal-ashes,
and if wood-ashes be mixed in so much
the better.
Tbe tomato vine will continue to
bare antil frost. A good vine should
have blossoms, green fruit and ripe fruit
on II at tbe same time. It may be
trimmed and kept in shape like a tree,
and should be supported by a stake or
hoops. As the vine produces an abun
dance of f rnit a handful of fertilizer
may be scattered around it occasionally,
superphosphate being excellent. Weed8
and grass should be kept down.
If yoa are expec !ng to set out an or
chard this fall a good work can be done
now In preparing the soil. If yoa do
not intend to set oat until spring now is
a good time to try and have them ar
rive this fall and then heel in. Often a
good opportunity is offered this month
to Haul oat manure, and it will certain
ly pay to improve. There is no over
stock of really good Truit. It is the
poorer grades that have glutted tbe
markets, so that there is no over pro
duction of the beat.
When some particular farmer suc
ceeds in securing better crops than his
neighbors it indicates that he is pro
gressive and ha adopted tbe most Im
proved methods for success. Observe
him, and endeavor to learn from bis ex
perience. Ni farmer can succeed who
is not willing to throw his prejudices
aside acd adobt the better practices of
of his neighbors.
IlrMiOTY is tbe first lesson we learn
from reflection, ana self-dietrust the
first proof we give of having obtained
a knowledge of ourselves.
