FARMERS' COLUMN,
MaklneBothEnds Meet-Closer Economies
How shall we mako both ends meet?
U a serious question In' many farmers'
homes. It is easy to say, by economy,
but It is not so easy to work it out. Our
forefathers kept but ono lire, and around
its cheerful blazo the family gathered.
Tho back log in the .ample fire-place
wanned tho room, which served for
kitchen, sitting-room, pantry, and with
a recess in one corner, for a bedroom for
tho old folks. Xow two or more ilres
are considered a necessity. The kitchen
stovo must bo kept going, and then in
most farmers' families there Is a "living
room," a sort of combined dining and
sitting room, which must bo warmed.
Stoves nro required for both,and perhaps
coal must bo purchased. Often whcio
tliero is a wood lot, the kitchen fire Is
niado from wood. It takes a hundred
fold more capital to warm a farmbr's
dwelling now than formerly. Well,
what of It? Wo are trying to mako bcth
cntU meet. The cost and repair of tho
stoves is a considerable item wherclhere
Is a short income. Carefulness must be
practiced to save expense. Mako tho
stoves last as long as possible. Then
wc must cut our own wood and burn It
where wo can. In more than three
fourths of tho State of Xew York the
farmer can buy his coal for less money
than ho could hire his wood cut and
drawn to his house and made ready for
tlio stove. To save money, ho must tlo
the work without hiring, and If possible,
sell wood enough to pay for the coal,
which has become such a necessity and
uxury. Our forefathers lighted their
iwclllngs with tallow dips, and later on
the candle moulds were Invented, and a
set did for the neighborhood, the thrifty
liousc-wlves taking turns in making up
the candles, after the farrow cow was
killed and tho tallow had been tried out
In very economical families, or where
poverty haunted the firesido,thc chimney
blazo lighted tho room, or a better light
was hail from pine knots. Ono of tlio
ablest statesmen Xew York ever pro
duced, Col. Samuel Young, educated
himself by tho aid of such a light. The
brass caudle-sticks were tlio ornaments
of the parlor mental when not in uso,
and on public occasions they vied With
the whale oil lamps as evidences of
luxurious comfort. Our lighting, thanks
to the bountiful earth and its kerosene,
is tlio least of expenses, so we cannot
cut down much on this, except wo buy
our oil by tho barrel-rthcn there may
be a saving of eight or ten cents on
gallon, If we purchase tho better kinds,
anil we should never get nny others.
Tho best are the safest. There will be
some loss when wc buy a barrel by
evaporation and leakage, but it is a trifle
and not equal to the bother and time
spent In getting it by the little. Caudles
should not be entirely discarded, as they
arc best to carry about. Class chimneys
break easily, and where there is careless
use, are quite an item of expense. Th'g.
maple trees used to furnish the. most of
the sweets, but now money lias to do it,
except with a few praiseworthy farmers.
who arc wrestling with the problem of
sorghum r,t nonpaying odds, so far as
an income Is concerned. Our loss
nervous ancestors enjoyed a drink of
hot pea or barley coffee, und suffered
loss than wo do with sleepless nights
and poor digestion. Thero was a saving,
as well as health in their drinks, and
the boughten tea was laid by for visitors,
How true it Is, that comfort and happl
ness are wonderfully of the Imagination
If I, as a fanner, could only think so,
when my hunger is appeased with plain
and wholesome food, and I have a warm
lire to sit by and the Ayrtcultttrist to
read, and a comfortable bed to sleep in.
I am just as well off, and should be as
happy as Win. H. Yanderbllt or any
otbsr money king. Why not? If
imajino that a Wilton carpet Is necessary
for my happiness, and a lot of gaudy
stuff all around me, which I cannot
havj, then I can be to far unhappy nnd
a fool. JIany are so, no doubt; but tho
vast majority, of farmers do enjoy the!
simpler and lets bothciing surroundlrgs,
We should bo tho happiest people In tho
world. When we make our wants less
wc will have less trouble. An old Xew
York lncrchant said to me not long ago
"How nico it must be to pick a ripe
apple from your own tree. I wish
could." Contrast this longing with
the thousand sunshine and green field
ploasuros wo have, more than city folks,
and let us bo content an.l happy. F. D.

A Story ofVillaijB Love.
For once, if you like, wo will leave
politics out of tho question. Indeed, It
would bo difficult for mo lo tlo other
wise. 1 am wrltliigyoulnthomldslof a
forest from this good old vljlagf of
Vlvnrlo, surrounded by honest folks,
who think moro of their work than of
politics. Tlio latest nowsjiaper that I
liavo read is seven or eight days old; the
most Interesting news travels slowly to
this beautiful spot; tho inhabitants,
who nro too busy to gossip, have a
horror of chit-chat, nnd nro scarcely
moro talkative than the pines nnd myrtle
bushes. So I will tell you a village
tory, and I am going to relate It just as
it was told to myself, scarcely an hour
ago.
As you may well imagine, a young
girl and a youth aro concerned In tho
story, nnd consequently lovo Is the
theme. The youth, n llttlo shepherd of
the forests of l'alncca, loved a young girl
of tho Santo 1'Ietro, the cool mountain
village where the fashlonablo ladles of
jacclo.go to spend tho summer. The
young girl also loved the youth. They
had told each other so, nnd had pledged
themselves to ono nnothcr, and I think
that from tmo to time they kept their
promise, for never lu the memory of
shepherds wcro tho flocks of ralcuca so
often seen grazing on tho pastures of
Santo I'lctro. Hut the end of all this,
tho upshot of all theso promenade, was
certainly marriage. They believed so,
at least, as though slnco liomco and
Juliet tho 'course of true love had always
run" smooth.
t the first word of marriage the fath
er of the young girl, the fated. Capulct,
llew into a terrible passion, so terrible
that for several days after tlio flocks of
l'alncca did not daro to wander near the
hillside of Santo I'letro. Hut on tho
fifth day the young girl, who knew her
classics, fell 111, and then was repeated
the great scene In the "liantzau" the
cruel father at tho bedside of his dying
daughter and far out In tho country the
plaintive notes of the shepherd's reed
pipe.
At last the father relents:
"Wc will see about that," ho said,
"after ho has drawn his conscript's
number, and has served his time. I do
not want you to have a husband who
will bo compelled to leave you as soon
as you are married."
How came it that In this country
whero thero Is no telegraph the shepherd
an hour afterward knew-what had been
said? The fact is, that on entering the
village ho had only ono idea uppermost
In his head cscapo from bis term of
military service. The shepherds of I'al-J
ncca aro not lacking in resources, and
ours in question was by no means stupid.
The next day, while cutting wood In tho
forest, lie, as If by accident, gavo Ids
right hand a smart blow with his hatchet
and severed three fingers. Xow let the
military examination take place! Ho
went homo and tended his hurt .13 well
as ho was able; and when the wound
was healed nnd ho had been rightly and
duly exempted, he went to Santo Pletio,
and bravely repeated his offer.
"I am not going to .servo in tho army,'
Jic said, "for I am sure they will never
take me. You can marry us now."
j. Hut the father stopped him by a word,
, -'.'Xcver,'' lie cried, "will I give my
daughter to ono who is maimed."
And It was apparent by his tone o
voice that he meant what be said. In
spits of bis daughter's illness ho re
mained inexorable. It was clear that
the old man did not want a maimed son-
in-law. Ilo made but ono reply to the
prayers and tears of Ibis young girl.
"Xcvcr, you thoroughly understand
never! And don't let him come hanging
around hero any more. Cripples ought
to marry cripples. Let him marry tho
blind girl of Palneca, or the hunchback
of Santa Andrea."
Tho young girl did not reply, and not
once during her illness dlti she speak of
her shepherd. When she was convale:
cent she was seized with a longing for
the forest and the open air, nnd every
day took long walks by the hillside of
Palneca by the roads that her flocl
know so well. Ono morning after
long search sbo again came across tlio
little shepherd, pale and haggard, liko a
shepherd tired of this world,
"Show me your wounded hand," she
said.
Ho showed It to her bashfully, and
p'ously she pressed it to her lips.
"Show me," she said to him again
"the hatchet which wounded yen,
He took It and allowed It to her. Then
rah In ' it and placing her hand on n
stem:
"This is how you did it, isn't it; this
is how the accident happened?"
And before tlio shepherd was able to
reply the hatchet had fallen, the stono
was reddened, andbosido It lay the three
fingers of the pretty maid of Sant
I'lctro.
"Xow, shepherd. " she said, "show
mo how you healed your wound."
And together they returned to Sant
rietro, ho with tears In his eyes and she
radiant. What could tho father do?
Had ho not imprudently said that
cripples ought to marry cripples. II
cursed them and married them. The
wedding was celebrated two mouths a
for I repeat that this unlikely story
occurred but yesterday, ns it were, and
in our own skeptical century.
,'I am afraid tlat young Fettlierly,
who calls on you often, is lather a fast
young man," said a father to his daugh
ter. "Oh, no, ho isn't, fathor," replied
the little brother who was present.
"What do you know about Mr. Ferth
erly?" demanded tho old man. "I only
know," ho replied, "that 1 heard him
nsk sister for a kiss last night and she
told him he could have ono if ho would
be quick about it. Hut it wns the
slowest kiss I over saw."
Xot long since ox-Judge Hlnck, in
examining a witness who had been In
tho army, said "Come, soldier, tell us
what you know of this matter." "I am
no soldier, I nm an ollicer," haughtily
responded the witness. Whereupon tho
old lawyer calmly snld, ."Well, then,
officer, who is no soldier, tell us wliat
you know." The vain fellow was
crushed.
