THK REASON.
An exehango asks why a young man
will leave his homo on the farm, where
he has plenty aud is his own master,
and go to a city of slave in a dry goods
store at $3O a month.
One reason why they flock to the
towns, is that the people in the country
make for themselves so few social pleas
ures that the farm is an exceedingly
dull place to the boy. If the
farmers would endeavor to build up
more social pleasures- would give their
children the benefit of education and
then give them books aud papers with
which to enjoy them selves' fewer of the
boys would willingly flock to tho towns.
Some peoplo appear to forget boy nature
altogetlar. A.-iiuseinent and cnteitui •-
mcnt is is necessary for the development
of a well rounded man as is bread and
meat. The farmer life furnishes too
few auiusoments—too little fave work.
The must be changed. The boys must
be educated for the real enjoyment and
cultivation of the farmer. The average
man now who educates his boy does so
with the idea of educating him off the
far jj instead of educating him J'ur the
farm.— I'ulil there is a change ou th : i
line, thure will be a continual floe km*
to the towns of country raised boys.
HOW TO HtmrpOTATtJES
No doubt every woman who pretends
to cook thinks that if there is ono thing
she can do well it is to boil potatoes ;
yet it is very rarely that one has the
privilege of eating' a palatable boiled
potato. It is either broken into scraps
jr hard at the centre An cveuly-boil
ed white potato in a treat. The New
Vork Post contains the following reccipe
which is worth trying : "Let thorn bo
caicfully rubbed with a hard brush,
d.sturb ng neither the eyes nur the skin.
Select thcui of equal size, aud put them
in a saucepan, with a tublcsponuful of
salt, aud sufficient water to cover them.
U'hcri boiled five minutes pour off tho
hot water, aud replace with cold, nnd
half a tcaipoonful of salt. The reason
for this innovation is that, tho heart o'
the potato being peculiarly hard, the
outside is generally done long before it
is softened, iiy chilling its cnterior
with eold water tho heart of the first
boiling strikes to tho contre of the veg
etable ; the force gradually increases
when the water boils again ; by the time
the outsido has recovered from its ohill,
the equilibrium is rostored, and the
whole paiato ii evenly done. Potatoes
must boi! steadily, with the covert on,
tbrec-quai tere of an hour, gently tested
with a fork, if they be no* cracked;
when done, drain tbeui dry, put a clean
cloth upon them, cover olosely with tho
lid ? and let the sa'icepan stand until the
dinner is ready to bo served ; then take
out each one separately with a spoon,
that they icay not be broken in tboir
floury state."
Franklin Times : Our tobacco farm
ers are making some excellent cares,
and some very fino tobacoo has been
raisod in this county. The crop this
year was probably not bo so large as it
was last, bat wo are glad to say, that
the quality is much better. This is as
it should be, as tho good article always
brings a fair price, while the inferior
fails to pay expenses.
A ItECII'K TO BK MISERABLE.
Tlie best rccipo we know, if you want
to be iiiisci'atle, is to think about your
self; bow much you bave loat, bow
much you havo not made, aud tliu poor
prospects for tbo future. A brave
man witb a soul iu him gets out of such
pilitul ruts nud laughs at discourage
ments, rolls up his sleoios, whisues and
sings, aud makes the best of lifo. This
earth novur was intended for a paradise,
and a mau who rises abovo bis discour
agement n and keeps his manhood will
only be the stronger and better for bis
adversities. ' aj noble ship has
been saved by throwing ovuiiward it*
most valuable cargo, andj'many a man
is better aud mo.o humane after he has
lost his gold. Inter-Ocean.
THICKS OFJA COON.
Once I carried the coon with me to
a q'ljlting at a place where there was
n swann of bees. You know a coou
loves honey better than anything. The
(juilting was proceeding nicely—the
women folks sitting around plyiug their
licedlos - when iu dashed the coon, lib
erally covered with bees. He rushed
under the quilt, strcwiug the mad in
sects.
One day Frank and I wen', down in
the pasture just behind the old house
lut, and the coon came along, too. In
the pasture we decided to take a ride
upon a gentle horse that was grazing
there.
We got the horse by the tuane and
led him up to a stuinp, and 1 got upon
his back. Frank mounted behind me.
Then the coon bounced up to a stump,
aud wanted to tide, so I reached down
and took him in my lap. No sooner
had the horse started off than the ooou,
fearful of falling, Btack all his claws in
to tho horse's withers, and the fuu be.
gan. The horse went running and kick
ing.
Frank soon bit the ground and left
myself aud the'coon holding on for dear
life. I stuck ou till we reached the lot
fence, aud there, as the horse mounted
higti and went over, I came down across
the rails and left the coon master of the
situation.
Father heard the racket, and soon the
whole plantatian was trying to catch the
horse to relievo it of its rider. That
was the last of that coon, lie got kill
ed and 1 got, whipped, aud I've never
wanted a pot coon since.— Atlmltd Con
stitution,
WHAT SALT IS GOOD Ft Hi.
When you give yourcollur its spring
clcaniug, add a little coppersas- water
and suit to the whitewash.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the
bottoms of garden wulls is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
For relief ftom heartburn or dyspep
sia, drink a little cold water in which
has been dissolved a teaspoonful of salt.
For weeds in the grass, but a pinch
or two of salt in the middle of each, and.
unles a shower washes it off it will kill
the weeds.
Ink stains on linen oah be taken out
if the stain is first washed ill strung salt
and "water and then sponged with lemon
juice.
In a basin of water, salt, ot course,
falls to the bottom ; so never soak salt
fish with tho skm down, as the salt will
fall to tho skin aud remain thoro.
Suit and mustard, a teaspoonful of
each, followed with sweet oil, melted
butter or milk, is the antidote for Fow
ler's solution, white preoipitatc of ar
senic.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better than a littlo salt, with enough
lemon juice to moisten it, rubbed on the
spots aud then washed off in clear wa
ter.
For weeds in pavements or gravel
walks, mako a strong brine of coarse
salt and boiling water ; put the brine
in a sprinkling can, and water tho woods
thoroughly, being oaieful not to let any
of tho brino got on tbo grass, or it will
kill it too.
If a ohimncy or flue catch on fire,
close all windows and doors first, then
hang a blauket in front of the grate to
exclude all air. Water should never
bo poured down the chimney as it spoils
tbc oarpeta. Coarse salt throwu down
tho flue is much better.
There is no part of n man's nature'
which the Gospel does not purify, no
relation of his life which it docs not hal
low.
USEFUL HINTS.
Never havo a sink under a window if
you can avoid it.
Keep hard snap in a dry placo sever
al weeks before using and it will last
much longer.
A brilliant black varnish for iron
stoves and fireplaces is made by stirring
ivory-black into ordinary shellacc varn
ish.
Exposure to the sun, it is said, will
remove light scorch mark, and fruit or
rust stains yield quickly to a weak solu
tion or oxalic aoid.
A lmlf-cup ammonia to a pail of warm
water will cleanse hard-finished walls
nicely; of course the water should be
changed when much soiled.
Perhaps some ladies would like to
know that milliners use an ordiuary
polish for ladies' shoes to revovate old
black straw hats, brush out the dust
first.
Bloop stains can be removed from
an article that you do not care to wash
by applying a thick paste, made of starch
and cold water. Place in the sun, and
rub off in a couple of hours. If the
stain is uot entirely removed repeal the
process and soou it disappears
WORDS OFTVISDOM.
Wo count words as nothing; yet
eternity depends upon them.
Trials wear us into a liking of what
possibly iu the first essay displeased
us.
When desperate ills demand a speedy
cure, distrust is cowardice and prudenoe
folly.
Poorness of memory svery one com
plains of, but nobody of tlio want of
judgment.
lie who thinks too much of himself
will bo in danger of being forgottou by
the rest of the world.
A man must be excessively stupid, as
well as uncharitable, who believes there
is no virtue but on his own side.
'J hose that placo their hope in anoth
er world havo in it great measure oou
quered dread of death aud uuraasonablc
love of life.
Li e often seems like long shipwreck,
| of which the debris arc friendship, glo
ry and love ; tlio shores of existence are
strcwu with thrill.
The heart is a small thing, but de
siretli great matters. It is not sullijinnt
lor a kite's dinner, yet tlio whole world
is not mfiicieut for it.
If doing what ought to be done be
made the first business, aud succeeds
a secondary consideration, is not this
the way to exalt virtue ?
No soul was ever lost beonuse its
fresh beginning down ; but thou
sands of souls have been lost because
they would not make fresh beginnings.
Death does not destroy, but catches,
crystallizes, and makes permanent the
character of a good man, leaving it a
priceless bequest to society.
It seems to me wo can never give up
longing and wishing while wo aru thor
oughly alive. There arc certain things
we feel to be beautiful and good, aud
wo must hunger after theui.
Early rising not only gives us more
life in the same number of our years,
but adds likewise to their number; and
not only enables us to enjoy more of ex
istence in the same measure of time,
but increases also the measure.
HOT BOILED MILK. •
There is no better or healthier drink
thuu hot or warm boiled milk. Even
in the best hotels it is sometimes difficult
to get boiled milk. In restaurants it
is sol joni given without a special order.
In many private houses tbo article is
praotically unknown. ID many bouses
where they pride tbemstlves on their
good coffee only cream is used iD the
mixture. Coffee with cream ia delicious,
and tho lovely color it takes on as the
thick yellow substance drops dowu iuto
it is a joy forever; but it is, alas ! in
digestible. 1 believe that many of the
people who have decided that they can
not take coffee would find themselves
nourished and strengthened, without
injury, by equal parts of well-mado
strong coffee and hot boiled milk.—

it satisfied tbo cravings, and suffused

POULTRY.
If possible, grow a small crop of

Only 100 heads will laet twenty fowls
for four months, aud it the heads are
are stored in a cellar, and packed ill
dry «and, they can be very easily band

There is no recipe for packing cgjjs

them like fresh eggs. Such a method
would make a fortune for anybody.
Thoro is no rule to feed and care for hens
that arc confined to inak j thcui lay [tho

tham the better returns.
.Poultry yards should bo on sandy
soil, if possible, in order to avoid oiud
or slosh on tiie ground, as roup is liable
to break out in fowls that aro kept on
damp locations. The yards should
be well drained, the surftse covered
with sharp, line gravel, and cleaned
off at least once every two weeks
where the flock is large.
Poultry-raising, li,ke any otlior busi

What every one wants is t> produce
eggs when they bring the highest prices,

takes a tea kettle, filled with boiling
water and fours it in the middle of this
box, which is surrounded on all sides
by galvanized iron or zinc filled with
sawdust, or some uon conductor. The

every day. 110 gets about eighty
