 FARM. Votsb Pot your best wheat in a aepuate bin for •eed. Do not cook good, sound, wholesome roots or grain for stock. Sorgfanm Ttaaasse makes a good mnlch for raspberries and £nut trees. Some daiiymen save the last fourth of the milk from the oow in a separate 'vessel, and pour it directly into a cream jar. Secretary Shaffer states that the use of pyrethnm on cabbage plants to kill the worms has been attended with entire suc- cess. It is none too early to look over the stables and chink up the cracks, nail down the TOrped battens and make ready for winter. There never was a time when so many minds were at work or so many efforts made in various directions to advance the practice and science of agricnlture. White fowls when dressed for the mar- ket do not show pin-feather marks as do the black breeds. This is a point in their favor which is worth considering. In order to guard against pleuro-pneu- monia the Canadian Government recently ordered 357 imported cattle, valued at$30,- 000, to be slaughtered and cremated. A good way to kill out sorrel is to salt the sheep on it. Care should be taken never te allow the sorrel to seed, as it can be carried to other points in the manure. Sheep will eat more, be more contented and thrive better on a new than an old range. Frequent change of range for them is important at this seaton of the year. Not. only does the linden tree produce honey in great abundance, but its quality is regarded by many as equal, if not superior, to that yielded by white clover. When the hurry of farm work ceases in autumn there are many opportunities to make improvements, for which the season is favorable and the time propitious. Carelessness must give way to business managements on the farm. The farmer should study the markets and be as ready to take advantage of opportunities as the merchant. The leaves make an excellent mulch around the roots of trees. If a few corn- stalks are laid upon them they can be easily kept in place, and can be raked up in the spring. Use the soot from the stovepipes and chimneys. It is excellent for flowers and young plants' Mix it with water, about a peck of soot to a barrel of water, and apply with a watering-pot. Eggs from hens that have not fully molt ed do not hatch well. This is the season for disappointments with the hens, but much can be gained by providing warm quarters and allowing plenty of gram. Prof. Arnold believes that. there is no way in which fertilization can be so promot- ed as by dairy farming. Butter takes noth- ing from the soil that affects fertilization in the way that wheat and other crops do. There is no reason why the wire fences of poultry-yards and around the field should not be used for grape-vines. Quite a large amount of such miit could thus be economi- cally grown, and the fence would not be in- jured bv so doing. A writer states that he had the best re- sults keeping grapes when each bunch was wrapped in a piece of paper, packed in boxes holding one bushel, and the boxes kept in a place where the temperature did not fall below 35° above zero. Of the varieties of ducks the Pekins stand confinement best, but they are not as tame as the common kinds. They grow very large, often reaching eight or nine pounds each, and yield feathers of a white color and equal to those of the goose. THE LI1I-KILI OLUB. Does Farming Fay. If a merchant in the city is able to earn a competence of $3000 to $5000 a year he is considered wealthy by most farmers yet this entire sum is oftimes expended in pro- viding the ordinary comforts of living and at the end of the year he is in proportionate progress but little a head of a farmer, who has not been compelled to pay a rent ot $1800 a year for his home, but rather has got his living from the homestead as he went along. Farm life is self-sustaining and preservative. A young laborer in the country working at one doUar per day and board, is proportionately better off and more independent than a clerk in a city on $700 a year, who has to expend $500 for a living. One can save at the end ml the year just as much as the other and if there are chances in favor of either for Obtaining a good name and a competence, they are on the side of the country lad. Any farmer who can support himseu on a farm comfort- ably, and make it pay a net income of seven per cent, on its cost is far ahead in compe- tence of the citizen who lives in a brown- stone front on a magnificent salary [and has to spend it all for life and appearance. Timely Suggestions. There is good reason in the different habits of growth of com and potatoes for plowing com ground much more shallow than that intended for potatoes. Roots of corn naturally run only a few inches below the surface, seeking warmth and only such moisture as is brought by frequent rains. This indicated that manure for com shoidd be put on or near the' surface, and that cultivation, especially late in the season, should be shallow. Com roots extend hori zontally as far as the height of their stsJk, and usually run over into adjoining rows before culti^-ation ceases. Wherever roadway fences are required by law they should be good ones. In fact, whether the law does or does not require that owners of stock should fence against ^tTwiMftlH on the highway, good fences shbidd be kept up against stoay cattle. Losses that will never be repaid will more than ofBMt interest and repairs, especially on a mnch-travelled road. In byways where there is little travel fences along the road- side may be entirely dispensed with or a line of fruit trees be set just at the edge of the road, and wires, either barbed or ^aio, fastened to the trees as a protection against passing stock. Tha« is no place like home to the man who has to qdit kiodlings, pot out the dotbMline and keep his mother-in-law's poodle free tnm fleea. TinCAL aAOL BOLDS.

A communication signed by forty-one leading citizens of Halifax was read by the Secretary. They desired tLe establishment of a branch club at that place, and petition- ed that Giveadam Jones be sent down to found the organization and put it in good shape. Over sixty colored citizens, none of whom had ever been in jail, would be stand- ing on the comers and await his arrival. Brother Gardner announced that the peti- tion would be granted, that Brother Jones would be sent as soon as the moon reached her third quarter, which is the best time for securing cheap railroad fares. Brother Jones will carry a certificate of identity from the club, but for fear of acci- dent it may be stated here that he stands five feet eleven, iveighs 168 pounds, and has two front teeth out and a squint in his left eye. Wbenever any one mentions per- simmon to him he instinctively puckers up his mouth and eives himself away. The people of Halifax will find him modest, re- tiring and rather inclined to make his head- quarters at a grocery where they sell two herrings for a cent and throw in a handful of crackers. BBHITTED. Some time since Trustee Pullback was fined §8,000 and costs for introducing a re- ligions discussion into the club. He declar ed that the whale which swallowed Jonah was 200 feet long, and of course Elder Toots scaled the figures down to 125, and a row was the result. Sir Isaac Walpole now pre- sented a petition signed by seventy-eight members of the club asking that the fine be remitted. The petitioners had satisfied themselves that Brother Pullback introduc- ed the topic inadvertently, having the sub- ject of whaling on his mind, and that if Elder Toots hadn't jimiped up and called him a liar there would have been no trouble. Brother Gardner replied that he felt like respecting the wishes of so many petitioners, and would remit the fine, but he wanted it understood in the most solemn manner that whales must not be introduced into the club again. SOHSTHING BICH. A telegram sent C. O.

The devil must have made it for his own enjoyment. There wasn't at any time anything about it but that was terribly forbidding. You wouldn't have tmsted him surrounded by armed soldiers and manacled. His temper, too, was of the veryworst possible uncontrollable pas- sion. When chided for some slight fault by a keeper he would shake as if in a fit and his upper lip curl in a rage so that his teeth were shown like those of a made dog. I That large feet denote great brain power That a red nose is the index of a soul which readily absorbs all that is beautifnl in nature or art. That a double-chin denotes a strong lean- ing towards murder. That bow -legs and melancholy tempera- ments go together. In brief, the physiognomist will knock most of the accepted theories into the middle of next summer, and all at the low price of ten cients. â-  AN'IMPOSTOR. A communication was received from St. Louis to the effect that " a very dashing and distinguishad-looking stranger, who claimed to be Waydown Bebee, was in that neighborhood soliciting alms for the erection of a Colored Hospital in Detroit. He walked stiff in the left leg, as does the genuine Waydown, and he drank from a pitcher at the same comer of his mouth, but there was a suspicion that he niight be an imposter. Brother Bebee tried to secure the floor, but choked on a prone pit A the same time, and Brother Gardner said " De Seckretary will answer to de effeck dat de pusson am a base impostor, aq^ offer a reward of $25 fur his arrrat an' c6n^ck- shon.

All strength for the time would leave him, but then he would become STKOXG AS A LIOX and more desperate than a wounded beast. His punishment invariably was that of being locked in his cell with reduced diet, but it would be three or four days before it would be safe to let him out. Mortimer was a typical prison bird. When his term of im- prisonment had expired I sent for him and talked long and earnestly with him. ' Mor- timer,' I said, ' you have spent most of your life in prison and are now nejurly fifty years old. Don't you think it were better to live SD that you will not again be sent here At least, I rfiould think that you would not like to die In prison.' He listened atten- tively. Then his upper lip began to curl, and he said â€" ' I was not guilty this time, and if I catch the fellow who swore me into this place I'll kill him ' And he meant every word he said. He left the peniten- tiary and I was glad to get rid of him. Two months after, in Washington, he quarrelled with his wife, and in his anger became so excited that he dropped dead at her feet. Heart disease did it. " Some men cannot keep from committing crime. Another of the many prisoners in the Albany penitentiary is now in my mind. He was bom a thief. Term after term of imprisonment failed to make him an honest man, but he was not a cruel fellow. On one occasion he fell very sick in prison, and, though he received the best medical care and nursing in the hospital, it M-as a long pull with him. Yet he recovered and grad- ually got back his strength. He was very grateful for the care which he had deceived. Soon after he left the penitentary hospital his time expired. I accompanied him to the boat as he was going to New York, and on the way endeavoured to impress upon him that it would be much better if he be- came an honest man. He thanked me for the great kindness which I had shown him and with tears in his eyes said he would never forget me. 'Yes warden,' he fairly sobbed, the first good gold wateh that I can steal in New York I'll send you by express. ' Stealing was a business with him, and he meant just what he said."â€" -.y. Y.

We should more earnestly recognize the fact that moral culture has much to do with promoting health and preventing one from falling into any form of morbidness. A strong sense of duty and high motives tend to keep one in the right path. The apjw- tites and passions are not over stimulated by emotions that prompt to usefulness amd keep the intellect stejuiily engaged in a worthy direction. While one man may have the instinct of mere living stronger than another, and bo may endure more physical trials than another, yet the effect of high moral purpose is, I think, greater in promoting that balance of organization that prevents nervous friction and mental ir- regularity than the mere vital instinct. Honest living in view of the obligations that rest upon us as men and women, and the cultivation of health as an instrumentality in carrying out our valid purposes, must have a positive effc ct upon the ten p ;r and spirit of our whole nature, fortiiying it against those irritations aud annoyances so thickly streM-n in the channel of everyday activity. Can we sympathize with those who deliberately transgress the laws of their being, whatever may be their motivo How many cultured, "hightoned* people, especially women, neglect common personal necessities,^ on the score of "delicacy" in- viting sickness and disease, which when it comes will be attributed to the fault of any- body but themselves. The physician with a large practice has occasion to condemn persons of this type almost daily. Health, solid, supporting, lasting health, is the re- ward of care and viligance, and in itself an honor to the wearer. knoTO, a naTOidanceof themmav..^. jmrnftmrn'mamnf valoaible Uvea y^'^^ to otherwise be fost under a vSt ,5 T^" STATISTICS.

According to Dr. Bosworth, Professor of Diseases of the Throat in Bellevue Medical College, New York, the 'tonsils are not, as generally supposed, distinct organs, â€" like the liver or spleen, for instance, â€" -and there- fore they have no special function. In healthy throats there are, strictly speaking, no tonsils. W^here they are found, they are the result of diseased action, which action may have developed only very small glands, with but trivial symptoms, or a large mass, giving rise to serious disturbance. All gland-structures are exceedingly deli- cate, and liable to injury. Hence, the lower pharynx^that part of the back mouth which connects specially with the food pas- sage, in distinction from the vpper, which connects specially with the air passage â€" is very scantily supplied with them. Yet there needs to be a large secretion of mucus to lubricate the food passage. To meet this need, there are large collections of mucous glands on the two sides of the lower phar- ynx, and these it is that so often become in- flamed and enlarged. An ordinary " cold" often causes them to swell to two or three times their proper size, and to become red and angry masses. The inflammation generally subsides of itself in from four to seven days. This ailment' is most frequent in children. Sometimes there is an inflammation which is characterized by an exudation into the slands, which distends them and pours out, forming circular white patches around their mouth. Or sometimes even covering the en- tire glands. It is often mistakenlor diph- theria. Frequently in the young there is a chronic enlargement of the tonsiu. In such cases, the gumds are peculiarly liable to be inflam- ed on exposure to cold. The enlargement tends to disappear with the growth of the body. It may indicate not a constitutional trouble but merely a local affection. It does not injure the general health, exeept when it obs^cto the breathing, or disturbs sleep, or induces mouth-breathing, or other- wise interferes with some natural function. In case of serious interference with health, one or both may be extirpated. The opera- tion on children is not attended with any bleeding of consequence. The bleeding in adults is easily controlled. A permanently enlarged tonsil has lost its glandular func- tion, and is worthless. In cases where the operation must be performed, the removal is not, as popularly thought, and as once be- lieved even by some physicians, usually fol- lowed by any serious consequences. Yet only a dangerous or worthless gland should be removed. that of France. 300,000)^of these, perhaps the r^restTland" on the globe, is only 100 per square niile-! 50 per cent, less than that of Ireland 30 per cent, less than that of Scotland.

Of these last 3,250,000 are scattered in the remaining European countries, 7,000,- 000 in the United States and Canada, and 500,000 in South America. The remnant of 3,500,000 may be diNdded between Africa, Australia, and Asia. No other European nation h as yet attained to the high figure of 70,000,000. The great Germanic family is far more numerous than either the Slavs or the Latins.
