Farm Life.
Saw ye the farmer at his plough,
As ye were riding by?
Or wearied 'neath the noonday toil,
When the summers suns were high ?
And thought you that his lot was hard,
And did you thank your God.
That yea and yours were not condemned
Thus like a slave to plod?
Come, see him at his harvest home,
When garden, field and tree
Conspire with flowing store to fill,
His barn and granery.
His healthful children gaily sport
Amid the new-mown hay,
Or proudly aid, with vigorous arm
His tasks as best they may.
The Harvest Giver is his friend,
The Maker of the soul,
And earth, the mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patient toil.
Come join them round their wintry
hearth
The heartfelt pleasure see ;
And you may better judge how blest
The farmer's life may be.
How Little Land Will Beep a Cow•
A correspondent sends the following ad
mirable statement; I wish to give the re
sult of an experiment in soiling. On the
Ist day of June I commenced cutting
clover for one cow confined in a yard en
closed by a high, tight fence, with a stable
attached in which she had been fed. She
has had no feed but freshly cut clover
from the first of JiAne , to the 15th of Oc
tober, and all taken from one-fourth of an
acre of ground. She has averaged eigh
teen quarts of strained milk per day, from
which my wife has made eight pounds of
butter per week, during the four and a half
mouths.. The cow is five years old, and a
cross of the Ayrshire and Durham. She
has given more milk, more butter, and a
better quality than she has ever done on
pasture. On another fourth of an acre, l
by mowing four times, I have secured two
tons of good hay. On one-eight of an
acre I have raised 159 bushels of sugar
beets and carrots, which with the two tons of
hay will keep her handsomely through the
balance of the year. The labor of cutting
clover for the cow is less than that of
driving her three-fourths of a mile to pas
ture; besides the manure saved is quite
an item. In the draiy districts, the usual
estimate is four acres to the cow, on the
hay and pasture system, whereas by soil
ing and raising roots five-eights of an
acre is found to be sufficient. I will state
further, what I believe from nearly thirty
years experience in farming, that there is no
crop so valuable for soiling as clover, no
crop, so many pounds of which, and of
equal value flir milk and butter, can be
prod i uced:,fronl an acre of ground. Sweet
dontisri gdocrcrop for late feeding where
clover will not grow, but not profitable for
Winter feeding.—American Stock Journol.
Hints on Horse Flesh.
As five years are required for the com
pletion of the bone structure of thehorse,
it is important that he be carefully used
until that age. If he is early overworked,
the ligaments which unite his one hund
-ed sad thirty kones am prevented "from

Properly constructed harness is as eaaen
tti*4 to, ti l M op.wfal:tt 4a 49f.°e as easy
clothes are necessary to the oomfort of a
man. If harness is not well fitted to the
form, the veins are compressed, circulation
is retarded and disease ensues. When in
motion, the horse regulates his centre or
gravity by using his head and neck. The
check-rein is therefore inhuman and inju
rious.
If a horse i 5 compelled to run when his
}head is held in a vertical position, the gra
vity is thrown too, far back, and he ad
vances with difficnlq. Tie ears may be
called indices of a horse's mind. Intelli
gent animals prick up their ears when spo-
WI to; vicious ones throw their ears back.
A blind horse directs one ear forward and
one backward, and in a deaf horse the ears
are without expression.
The ears of the best horses are short and
wide apart ; the eyes are well open, and the
forehead is broad. A broad forehead indi
cates good brain. The Arab says : "The
horse must have the flat forehead and the
courage of a bull." The horse breathes
by his nose and not by his mouth; hence
the nostrils should be large, so the fresh
air may be taken in freely. Dealers en
large the nostrils of their horses by their
artificial means. The month of a young
horse is round; in age it becomes narrow
and elongated.
Too Poor.
Brother Moore, of the Rural New York
er, was sitting in his office some years ago,
when a farmer friend came in and said—
" Friend Moore, I like your paper, but
times are so hard I cannot pay for it"
"Is that so, friend Jones ? I'm very sorry
to hear that you are so poor ; and if you are
so hard run, I will give you my paper."
"Oh, no! I can't take it as a gift."
"Well, then, let us see how we can fix
it. You raise chickens, I believe."
"Yes, a few, but they don't bring any
thing hardly."
"Don't they ? Neither does my paper
cost anything hardly. Now I have a pro-
Posttion to make to you; I will continue
your paper, and when you go home you
may select from your lot one hen, and call
her mine. Take good care of her, and bring
me the proceeds, whether in eggs or chick
ens, and we will call it square."
'All right, Brother Moore," and the old
fellow chuckled at what he thought was a
capital bargain.
He kept the contract strictly, and at the
end of the year found that he had paid
about four prices for his paper. He often
tells the joke on himself, and says he never
had the face to say he was too poor to take
a paper since that day.
THE corn crop of the United States for
1870 was 1,100,000,000.

The Rod in the School-Room.
.1. T. REED, SUPERINTEIIEENT, LYCONING COUNTY.
At this season of the year the Public
Schools of this Commonwealth are nearly
all in session. Thousands of children are
daily gathered within the little school
houses of the State, to be instructed in
those studies which will develop and en
large the faculties of the mind, and be of
service to the learner in overcoming - the
multifarious difficulties of subsequent life.
The children thus collected to receive
scholastic and moral training, areas differ
ent in their nature, temperament, and home
culture, as they are in their physiognomy.
Some are obedient, mild and gentle in
their manners, which show that home gov
ernment in their case is what it ought to
be; 'others are rude, uncouth, destructive,
impudent, and overbearing, which as plain
ly indicates that when at home, they do
about as they please.
Again some children are quick of oom-, 1
prehension, get their lessons well, and
progress rapidly, but are "chuck full" of
mischief, though more for their own
amusement than the annoyance of any one
else; others are sullen, illnatured, lazy,
and constantly concocting some mean trick
to provoke the teacher, or create a distur
bance in school. With this diversity of
intellect and disposition brought together,
the teacher is expected to keep a good or
derly school—to "train up the young in
the way they should go."
But the question arises, how is the
teacher to do all this 7 "Oh," says one,
"he must use moral suasion. Moral sua
sion is the teacher's weapon." Yes, this
sounds very well, but it has little effect
upon children who never hear or see any
thing like moral discipline at home. An
other says, "I do not whip my children
myself, and no teacher shall whip them.
My children are good children, and do
not need to be whipped, but there is such
a one's children; they are bad boys, and
need a little flogging, but don't you whip
mine; if you do, I'll prosecute you, or I
will have you turned out of the school."
This may appear a little exaggerated to
some, but it is not. It is only too true,
that many parents do not correct their
children at home ; and for this very reason
they need to be corrected all the more at
school. Children that are under no re
straint at home, are prone to violate the
rules and regulations of the school, and
think they arc abused when not allowed to
do so. And, whort complaint is made
against a teacher, it is always entered by
such as have refractory boys, and are un
able to govern them at home. Also, not
unfrequently, widows are given to listening
to the tales of their children—"who have
been whipped and almost killed just for
nothing"—and finding fault with the
teacher for correcting them. They forget
the precept given by the wise man, that
"The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a
child left to himself bringeth his mother
to shame."
Now, that a school should. be taught
with a.,; li Lin flogging as possihle, I agree ;
but; that - a teacher should discard the rod
from the school-room entirely, is as detri
mental to the well-being of the school as it
is absurd in theory. As well might we
expect the civil law of our country to be
obeyed and respected by leaving crime go
unpunished, as to have good order and
wise regulations maintained in school by
leaving disobedient and refractory conduct
go unpunished. Nevertheless, it is truly
astounding to all true educators, that so
large a proportion of every community
1 1 should be laboring under the hallucina-
Hion that a school can be successfdlly
taught, under all circumstances, without
resort to corporal punishment, and that a
teacher has no right to administer it. This
erroneous idea so prevalent of late years,
is the most formidable obstacle to the prog
ress of our public schools.
But let us see what the properly con
stituted authority has to say upon the
subject. The State Superintendent, J. P.
Wickersham, in a late issue of the Com
mon School Code, makes the following
comment: "It is absolutely necessary
that good order should be maintained in
the schools, and that all proper rules, reg
ulations and commands of the teacher
should be strictly and promptly obeyed.
Hence a necessity exists for a sufficient
power to enforce this duty, and, therefore,
it is held that the teacher may inflict such
reasonable corporal punishment upon his
pupils as the parent might inflict for a
similar cause."
But again, suppose we refer to theßook
of books—the Divine Law—that law upon
which all law is based, and see what au
thority can be gathered from it in support
of corporal punishment when it is needed;
and surely no one will object to this or
am= its - triithfulness. Humanity is the
same to-day as it was in the days of Solo
mon, when he said: "Foolishness is bound
up in the heart of a child; but the rod of
correction shall drive it far from him."
"Chasten thy son while there is hope, and
let not thy soul spare for his crying."
"Correct thy son, and he shall give thee
rest :'yea, he shall give delight unto thy
soul."
We are, to-day, the same "degenerate
plants of a strange vine," and the earliest
buddings of life but too sadly prove the
corruption from which we spring. "We
go astray as soon as we are born." Youth,
children, and even infancy, need restraints
to keep in subjection the unhallowed pro
pensities which are innate, and which
would otherwise break forth in acts of
misrule and violence. A child is suppos
ed to possess little knowledge and less dis
cretion to guide his own steps; he must,
therefore, be indebted for salutary restraint
to his elders, and especially to those who are
entrusted with his training. Tha teach-
er's authority must be felt and acknowl
edged, and while his discipline shotild be
kind and affectionate, it must at the same
time be uniform, firm and decided.
Yet ;patty teachers to escape trouble, or
in the exercise of a false kindness, suffer
tempers which might be nipped in the
bud, to grow up beyond control, which not
unfrequently, bring the teacher into bad
repute, but the gray hairs of parents in
sorrow to the grave. Too many parents
and teachers discard from their theory
of education those sage maxims of wisdom
and Scripture, which enforce the neeessity
of chastisement. Children are by nature
perverse, wayward and lawless, and com
mence early the struggle for the mastery.
If not taught to respect authority, and
fear power, the consequence may easily be
foretold; they will become disobedient and
disrespectful—in short, the pests of the
community. Where the law of reason will
not avail, the rod of correction must be
substituted. The teacher, in order to pre
pare his pupil for usefulness here, and
mortality hereafter, must repress lawless
desires and curb rebellious feelings,, by
punishment judiciously inflicted. It is
false kindness to abstain from just severi
ty, for "he that spareth the rod: hateth. his
son, but he that loveth his sou. ehasteneth
him betimes."
Let teachers de this duty, in good faith,
and trust to the intelligence and reason of
the bettezlertion of every community, and
they will succeed, and the schools under
their charge will progress, not only intel
lectually, but in manners and refinement,
and prove in every way a blessing to the
neighborhoods in which they are located.

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number,
situated at thi
upper paft of the lion, surrounded by fat, and con
slating of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the In
tenor, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The ladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
GOUT, OR RREUMATIS3I.—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions.
THE GRAVEL.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain ; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
DROPSY is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, according
to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of the

TREATMENT.—IIeImboId'a highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gout
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges
of water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
llema
turia,
or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of
the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was always
highly reeommendee by the late Dr. Physick, in
these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healty exercise b:
which the watery or calcareous depositions, aw
all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in
ilammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men
women and children. Directions for use and die
accompany.
PUILADELPMA, PA., Feb. 25, 1887.
H. T. HELMBOLD, Druggist:
Dear Sir:—l have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the moot eminent Physicians, experi
encing little relief.
Main. seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised7l consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless 7
and, some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined t-, use no reme
dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of buchn,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice after an examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing thin it would be of greater value to you,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
fell as well in all respects, as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. Ido not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of tho Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
— and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
sepies of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affmtions
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a ro.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most effectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a pro
vition against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
by kept on band in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled' Coiesionidion is thou6ht In.
curable, still great numbers of eases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
nail the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry .Peatoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When mut-
Mg else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee.
:oral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Speakers And great pro
tection from it. . _
--Istlama is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues blown that we need
not publish the certilleates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Acne, Periodical or Bilious Fever, do.,
and indeed ell the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quin ine,Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
wjtateyer, it in nowise injures any patient. The
number andttmeortance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and we believe
without a parallel in ihe history of Ague medicine.
Opr pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
cases, and where other remedies bad wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatin localities, will be pro
teed by taking the AG UE CUBE finny.
For Liner Complaints. arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines had failed.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. in the hitter, tuber.
