The Northern Farmer.
0 favors every year made new 1
0 gifts with rain and sunshine sent!
The country overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discontent.
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on ;
We murmur, but the corn ears fill ;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it shines behind us still.
God gives us, with our rugged soil,
The power to make it Eden-fair,
And richer fruits to crown our toil
Than summer-wedded islands bear
Who murmurs at his lot to-day ?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom ?
Or sighs for dainties far away,
Beside the bounteous board of him ?
Thank Heaven, instead, that Freedom's arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold ;
That love and generous lives can warm
A clime with Northern ices cold.
—John G. Whittier.
Burying Potatoes.
A considerable portion of the potato
crop of the country is kept by being buried
in pits out of doors. The most common
way is to heap the potatoes on the top of
the ground and then raise a mound of
earth over them. Soil thus raised above
the common level is more exposed to the
cold, and consequently freezes deeper than
on the level surface. From this cause it
often happens that the potatoes are reach
ed and ruined by the frost. This of
course may be avoided by putting on
enough of dirt to prevent freezing through.
But not knowing how much freezing
weather there is likely to be during the
winter, the farmer is not always sure when
he has enough. Sometimes when he feels
most confident on the subject he is
mistaken, and so loses his crop. The
following will be found an excellent and
safe way to cover potatoes to save them
through the winter : First cover with a
good layer of straw, then put about four
inches of dirt, then another good layer of
straw, and finally put on dirt to any depth
required. Probably one foot will be found
gulden& during any of our winters. It
will be found that the frost will seldom
penetrate beyond the outer layer of straw,
even though it might go much deeper in
solid soil. An opening left at the top and
filled with straw and sheltered with a
board, will aid in keeping potatoes, apples,
What Salary Does a Farmer Receive.
He receives an equivalent or larger
salary than ninety-nine out of a hundred
of theta are willing to admit. They under
estimate their own profits, and over esti
mate the profits of men living on a salary.
There is a great difference among those
who live by farming. A great many work
the soil because they do not k-now what
else to do, or because they cannot live by
anything else. Many of thit class hardly
deserve to be classed as farmers. They
lower the standing of farming as a busi
ness. I believe there is no business by
whioh a man can live so well with so much
neglect, as in agriculture. Still nothing
better repays good care and ability. It is
rather slow to yield brilliant returns at
the outset, so is any business. The farm
er's profits are concealed in the rise of
land—in improvements by ditching, clear
ing, new buildings, more land, more tools,
or better gook. Most farmers have no
idea how much it costs them to live. They
forget to figure in the pork, poultry, mut
ton, butter, flour, vegetables, etc., etc.
The salary-man lives entirely by his indi
vidual efforts. In estimating a salary, we
must do so by looking at the privileges
enjoyed, the hard work of brain and
muscles, and the gain in property, and
improvements.
The Best Cow for Small Farms.
The Live Stock Record says : "Our
°pillion said also that of the principal
dairymen of the country is, that the
Jersey 'Ootnincnily called Alderney, is
above all others, the best cow. They are
easily kept, very docile--a point not to be
overlooked—and beautiful ; give milk of
superior richness, from which is produced
finely colored, solid butter, having an
equal texture and flavor. Butter made
from such milk has been known to keep
when placed in a dry, not cold, cellar,
without the use of ice, and when taken
out was in a hard, firm condition, and was
then sold 12 to 18 cents per pound higher
than the best ordinary butter. The cost
of Jerseys is not much more than for scrub,
and they will more than make up the
difference in price in a few months."
A POINT IN FEEDING Cows.—The
following is from the New England Farm
er : "Cows soon learn what to expect, and
if, by any wanceuvering on their part, they
can change the regular programme to their
advantage, they are not slow to do so. We
have cows in our stable which, if fed an
inferior quality of fodder at an unusual
hour, will either poke it through the front
of their manger on the barn floor, or paw
it out under their feet with all the delib
eration with which a spoilt child clears its
plate of plain feed to make room for the
choicer sweets which are held in reserve
by the over indulgent parents; but if this
fodder is given at the last foddering at
night, when the cows know, as they always
do, that it is the last foddering, they will
take hold of it, if at all hungry, as a mat
ter of business, and will clean it up as
though it were good as the best."
CURS" FOR CROUP.-A piece of lard as
large as a butternut, rubbed up with sugar,
and divided into three equal parts and
given at intervals of twenty minutes, wilt
often mirk well.
VINIGAR and fruit stains upon knives
can be taken off by rubbing the blades
with raw potato, and then polishing on
the knife-board in the usual manner.
CURE FOR ROARBZNEBB.—The juice
and pulp of lemons, stirred thick with
white sugar, will relieve hoarseness—be
sides being an agreeable remedy.
SUGAR GINGERBREAD.—One cup of
shortening rubbed in one quart of flour,
one and one-half eups of sugar, one teas
poon ginger, one of soda, one cup sweet
milk, mix and bake.—Mrs. H. M.
I,roitith• tlrc iirts6c.
How Long the Winter Lasts Mother.
How long the winter lasts, mother !
I wish the spring would come ;
I long too see the floweri bloom
Around our cottage home.
I've tried to bear this bitter pain,
To suffer and be strong,
But all in vain ; I feel it now
I cannot stay here long.
Yet I wish that I could live, mother,
Till springtime's sunny hours;
I wish that I might pass away
Amid the wild wood's flowers ;
For now the snow is on the ground,
The cold wind loudly' mourns,
The very light looks sad to me
That warms the hearth of home.
I gaze out on the leafless trees,
I watch their branches wave ;
I'd like to see them bloom before
They lay me in the grave.
I long to see the meadows green,
The buds begin to swell ;
I sometimes think the warm bright days
Might cheer and make me well.
But I will not murmur now, mother,
I feel these thoughts are vain ;
I'll never see the waving corn
Or bill-tops green again.
The summer birds will soon come back,
The early flowers bloom,
But I shall heed them not, mother,
Within the silent tomb.
Christian Sleep.
The believer does not die. 'What we
call dying is not death—it is sleep, in
which we wait the Lord's second coming!
Some look into the valley and see the
shadows, and are filled with trembling ;
they forget that there is no shadow with
out light, and if' they would raise their
trembling eyes they would see behind the
dread summoner the glory light of the
Lord's presence which throws the herald
into shadowy relief. Ah ! Christian pil
grim, yot think or the embarkation and
the voyage, and forget the arrival in the
heaven amid the ringing of the eternal joy
bells. You fear the parting, and lose
sight of the welcome. You dread the foe,
and are not inspired for the conflict by
the thought of triumph, the abundant en
trance and the victor's crown. You think
of what is called dying, and not of the
joyous meeting with the King Asleep—
look at the figure and what is implied ?
We sometimes use the word without re
alizing its important meaning and bearing
upon the Christian's life,. If we want to
speak of the departure of a friend, to bear
to mourners the fact of their loss, we speak
of the loved ones being asleep. There is,
however, more in it than kindly feeling
drawing a veil across the reality. Notice
these phases of natural slumber—Sleep is
a state in which the body rests, while the
soul if alive ; aye, and active. Sleep is a
state in which the body is relieved from
toil and weariness. Sleep is a state out of
which the body wakens refreshed and
strengthened.
Is not the figure complete ? What could
more fittingly express the believer's con
dition awaiting the end of time ? 'What
you call the believer's death is the saint's
rest, the peaceful sleep succeeding the
weariness of time. Yes, a sleep, not a
mere rest, nor mere deliverance from the
burdens of this sinful world, but a sleep
full of the promise of a glorious awakening-
There is no death in the believer's vocabul
ary : "He that lived] and believeth on me
shall never die." his tired mortality
shall sleep., not die. How beautifully this
is illustrated by the conduct of the early
Christians in the sepulcher of their friends .
In the Lapidarian gallery of the catacombs
in the palace of the Vatican at Rome are
preserved a multitude of epitaphs. The
walls on either side are completely cover
ed with inscribed slabs. On the right
are arranged the pagan monuments, sepul
chral and votive tablets, altar dedications,
fragments of imperial rescripta and edicts,
and other evidences of the power and
splendor of the palmy days of Rome. On
the left are the humbler epitaphs of the
early Christians, rudely carved in stone or
scratched in plaster. But what is found
behind the slabs ? On one side the splendid
monument covers an urn in which is de
posited the cremated ashes of the departed.
on the other hand the humble epitaphs
mark where the believers laid the sleeping
bodies of their friends to wait the awaken
ing of the glorious resurrection, and thus
they carved upon the monumental slabs
"Resting well in ;peace," "Entered into
rest," "He went to God," "Set free from
the body," "The sleeping place of one well
deserving."
Do Nor Wait for Feeling.
Whilst you cannot feel too keenly do
not wait for feeling. No sorrow for the
past can be too poigant ; but•do not wait
for that sorrow. If the prodigal had not
arisen till he was satisfied with his own
repentance, he would have died in the far
oountry. The tears which do not flow
from the gaunt. eyes of famine will come
unbidden at the feast of fat things; and
the fountains of the great deep, which
freeze in the winter of remoteness and es
trangement will break up and brim over
in the sunshine of• mercy. The word
which you take, be it what it may—
" Father, I have sinned, and am no more
worthy to be called Thy son ; take away
mine iniquity and receive me graciously"
—whatever the word may be, let it be a
true one, and swifter than your return
will be the footsteps of forthcoming par
don ; and great as may be your own joy in
rescuing and restoring grace, no less will
be the joy in heaven over your repentance.
—Rev. James Hamilton.
Hayes's Title.
However varied may be the opinions
concerning the validity of Hayes's title to
the Presidency, there is not a question in
the minds of either Democrats or Republi
cans upon one important point viz : the
unquestionable right of Dr. Pierce's Fami
ly Medicines to the title of the Standard
Remedies of the age. Listen to the voice
of the sovereign people.

than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are -. - ery remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the

Pure water is found in wells from 20 to 60 feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate in the World I No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of fine building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
