I raved, and I walked the piazza
hackwards and forwards and
put on all the agony. I could
raise. I confounded the xig and
the calf and the gate and the
unknown individual who left it
open. 1 knew, that Mrs. Arp
would hud out from the child
ren what was the matter, aud so
i wanted to out Jlerod Herod
and steal her thunder, for she is
a prudent woman aud never
gets on a tare when she sees me
on a tare. And that's rig!it.
When' Airs. Arp is on a tare I
aid as meek a- a lamb. It is
like playing se-saw when one
irf mi the other is down
though 1 sometimes think l!
don't get my share of 'nigh rid

was Mrs. Arp at the piano; and
she was playing; Afaby's

outes caine over me like the
Ai-ot south wind breathing
s1h a bank of violets. By the
tune the breakfast bell rang I
h'ul mellowed down smartly

that U,h villus would sprout

wiMiiilu't lose more than two

'"end the calf to the country.
It does look like there is al

and I feel easy aud grateful
now except for the calf and the
pig. When I think of them I
go out in the garden and pici a
bowl of strawberries and put
some sugar and cream all over
them and take them to Mrs.
Arp and that satisfies me. It is
a fact that we have been eating
strawberries from, our garden
every day since the 11th day of
April, and we had them for
dinner to-day. Who can beat
that? And I planted every

per cent, of this sum has been

a greater sense of the dignity
of labor now than they had at
the close of the war? Has their

There are in America over
1,000,000 farms, large and small.
They cover near 3,000,000,000
acres of improved land, and
their total value is something
like 10,000,000,000. These fig
ures are not, of course, compre
hensible. They simply convey
the idea of vastnes of area,
and equal vastness of import

No class or profession can
better remedy their own condi

Western pork and beef; send

will ever be at the . mercy of

large profits. True independ

NEW KhMEDY KoU HO(i CHOLERA.
A writer in the Southern
Planter, of Richmond, Va., says
to the Commissioner of Agri
culture : "I will place in your
hands one hundred dollars to
pay for hogs if they should die
with the so-called hog cholera,
if you will have tested the fol
lowing remedy, which I have
used with great success : Take
a sack of salt and a barrel of
hard wood ashes, (hickory or
oak preferred), mix the salt and
ashes thoroughly, prepare a box
of any convenient size, put it
under cover where the hogs can
have free access to it at all
times, and keep a supply of the
mixture in it. This mixture
will cost you one dollar and
ome trouble, but will be suf
ficient for several hogs for one
ear. It will not prevent hogs
rom taking the disease if they
are allowed to come in contact
with diseased hogs,, or are per
mitted to eat hogs that have
died from the disease, and may
not cure it. Farmers, try this
log cholera preventive : it is
cheap; it is practicable."

A PAYING INVESTMENT.
If a man grows the right va
rieties of fruit it will pay him
a better interest on the money
invested aud the time required
for its cultivation, than any
thing else on the farm. Fruit
will not pay every year any
more than any other crop, but
on a ten years' average the
fruit on any man's farm (if of
the right sort and properly
grown stock is planted) will
put more clean cash into his
pocket, in proportion to the
amount taken out, than any
thing else he can raise. Louis

i AX YOUR FRUIT.
Some people say that fruits
and vegetables are unwhole
some, but I do not believe it,
because we have them every
day in the year, in some form,
and see uo bad effects. I think
they are promoters of health as
well as pleasure. Last year I
used my last can in putting up
ome yellow peaches. There
was too much tor me can
caught up a large, big mouthed
id?kle bottle and filled it with
the hot peaches. Then I press
ed over the mouth a piece of
raw cotton, tied a piece of
paper over that, then put on
that an odd tin top. lhe GOth
day of last December I brought
that bottle of iruit out of my
cellar and it was perfect. That
idea was not original with me
I got it from some forgotten
newspaper.

every housekeeper will try to

Blackberries make excellent
vinegar, wine, jam, preserves,

is a rule, with me to 011 every
empty vessel on the premises
every year, with iruit, vege
