BT ,K. it.
We often hear the remark that the
"Farmer is the ! most indenendent. he.
ratise be can grow all he wants to eat."
This sounds like independence, to be sure.
but it , is not at way 8 carried out to this
extent: I ho farmer, like every other
business man, wot ks for money, and will
makrior deal most exclusively in those
articles that will afford the most nrofit
His business will be varied ar.eordinr tr
the soil, climate and market facilities of
bis location. ,j i
. Ths farmer, every where, must have
Hve stock he can't farm without it. God
policy will dictata that ho should grow
all the food he want Air this stock, anVl
tboei who do not work on the farm, in
cluding his family. Outside of tlijs, he
should grow extensively such crops as he
an grow and sell to the largest profit, but
uot cou fine himself to one business, for if
that line fails, his business is crippled
fhiainpiallyrtnd 1 he is in want of funds
to rairy on the next year operations.
In; some sections of the country, corn
ii ihj leading crop, but this fails in some
seasous, so it is bt tter to have a crop of
wheat, or oine;other grain to fall back
iipon In some places, hay is the crop
depended fort i for money, this too, f iU
someiimfsand a reserve of corn or wheat
would be valuable. J 11 others cotton or to
hccd are the Jeadmg crop?. They too
fail sometimes, or prices decline, so that
a good crop of corn would help out very
inact?. In dairying districts, milk, butter
or clieese ire most profitable, but these
branches are necessarily connected with
grain growing, and ;are always sure to
produce affair supply of money, when
CMUirel edby good management. Stoek
raisers, except in some southern localities
must nectssaiily grow grass andtain.
In stock raising, just at the . present
tiaoe, porkfis very low and everybody is
killing off jnearly all their hogs, this is
e,1,ir ,J a mistaken policy, as it is sure
to cause a Scarcity, and force prices to go
up, then they have no hogs to sell. The
better way is to keep on in the even tenor

Treatment. The treatment, in its frPn-
eral features resembles that fr glanders.
Bleed iu the neck vein, faking about three
pints of blood; tben take and thoroughly
mix together one table spoonful f f irtut-
powder, one f laid, one of soft m ,Pi two
of tar, and of pulverized gum m : 1 i : put
a spoonful of this down the horses thru at,
as far as you can, with a paddle or spoou.
Do this twice a day. The object is not
so much to have him swallow it, as it is
to have it lodge about the glands of the
throat. It will have the effect to stimu
late their natural discharge into the tuouth
and then will keep them open. At the
same time, make a strong decoction of
tobacco, as hot as the hoise can bear it
with whkh wash his neck and throat Re
peat this two or three times a day. In
an abscess actually gathering, but is not
100 far advanced, this treatment will be
likely to drive it away. If the dieas
is iu its early stage, tlie patrenrwill gel
wen in a tew days.
KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED IN
FARMING.
There are many who look upon farm
ing as rather a suull business, who think
that its successful prosecution requires
only a little common sense just enough
to prompt the hardy worker to seek
shelter iu a rain storm, and a very luile
knowledge, just sufficient to count a fiork
of sheep, or read a political newspaper.
The opinion was once more general than
now, for the world is graving wiser, yet
at ihe present time it is eutertaiued by
many. It is an old and true saying, that
"honor and shame from no condition rise,"
that honor is only acquired by acting
well our part in w hatever situation we
may be placed. A mail of ability and
kuowlege who devotes all his energies to
his business will make it honorable and
profitifble 110 matter how insignificant that
business may at first seem. There Is no
business requirements, so much kuowlege,
so much good judgment and coinWrcial
anility combined, as ia necessary for the
thoroughly accomplished farmer. ll
stands first among the manufacturers of
the land, be makes the wheat and corn,
the beef and mutton and p'ik, the wool
and flax; and manufactures from the
earth, the air, the wiiter, nearly all that
we eat and wear; and this not only done
by farmers as a class but almost every'
one produces many if uot all of these ar
ticles. Tire manufacturer usually confines his
labors to the production of one article,
but the farmer is by necessity compelled
to make many. If he would make grain
he must also make beef or ' butler and
cheeae, or mutton and well. Hence the
necessity of extensive knowledge. It is
aucasy matter for the manufacturer to

lIOUoEWORK
People generally think that all women
young or old, whatever their taste or in
whatever direction their talent lies, ought
to like homework. If a young man has
a taste for auy particular vocation he is
awarded great commendation for profici
ency in thai vocation, no matter how liulo
he may. know of anything else. If he
takes naturally to jouru tlisra, it ia not
considered his duty to woi k with hoe or
spade all his 1 fc. But custom and pre
judice have marked ont e vocation for
1 woman and that is hou-ewoik, and
uniess sue excels in this el
wholesome denunciation.
iu receives
Men are apt :o sneer at women who
are inefli-. ient in household duties, but did
man ever lliink that if his own sex wen-
all to f.llow any one special business
there might be some who wottlj prove
incompetent ? For instance, supposing
agriculture should be laid d.wn as
the only God allotted sphere for man

excellence in or., directio.: nly, namely,

Is it 1, of insulting then, to require that all
women who from lime immemorial have
had almost no advantages of education
compared with men, and many of honi al
ready excel iu some departments of learn
ing, should attain the very maximum ef
excellence in house-wifery, for which some
have no taste ? Of Conrse we do net deny
that it is better to be a good hoosekeecr
than a poor one, but sun ly no one ought
to expect all women to like housekeepimr
equally well, any more than to expect all
men to like farming, tailoring or any oth
er pursuit equally well.
It w i II be a great blessing when people

COST OF RAG CARPETS.
There is something of a discussion go
ing on among the housewives as to wheth
er it pays to make rag carpet. Whde
both parties may be correct, speaking
from their own standpoints, we behave
that, generally speaking, in the firmer
family it does pay, for when a carpet ia
made at hosuu old garment' are preserved,
odds and ends saved, the little girls, given
employment, and then one knows jnst
what she has got for a carpet. A lady
writer in the American Farm Journal
counts up the cost as follows :
Perhaps it m ould be well to count the
cost of thirty yards of carpet and see
whether it pays or not. I got ten pounds

? THE FAAlINE IN PERSIA.
The Times of India, in its overhnd
summary, says :
:Famine continues its ravages in Per
sia, and the extent -of it will never fully

misery this wide spread, long continued
famine has wrought; it is strange that e
hear nothing of any! organized and sus
tained effort for the allevintiou being made
by the Persian government. The starv
ing people are left to look after them
selves; such as can leave country do so;
such as cannot mtiit'die, nnlees relief from
some unexpected qsarter reaches them
As is usual, disease has appeared iu the
districts to complete what famine had
bepun. Letters from Yezd and Bonder
Abbas Ultimate thai cholera is committing
sad ravages among the population.
jSoine 500 attenuated Zroaatrians had
reached Bunder Abbas, l.i.t. as they weie
neatly all rick, iW Persian auiiioi tie
placed tbcoo iu quarantine, and prevented
their leaving the place where they were
enc-tmped. Moreover, the owners of the
caravan with which they had traveled
impounded thei children as security for
expenses incurred dining tha transit, and
these were only delivered up when a
Parsee geutlctnan paid ihr sum demanded
from funds placed at his disposal by chari
table persons in India. Large partiea
arrive in Bombay from Persia b cverv

facilities" arc afforded by the various eLip

and the Gulf ports, to that the prviaium
of the sufferers are' in a great measure
