FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HOW TO CET BETTER PAY FOR
FARM WORK.
Tba Returai for III llrain Work are tar
More Important Ihaa Any Other
Coa.lderation to Ihe lro
sjresslra farmer.
itraln Work On The Farm.
There are wveral faetors which en
ter into the material which the farmer
oilers to the world for which the re
munerations differ widely. First, there
Is the plant fond in hi product. That,
in the virgin soil, is the direct prod
uct of the forces if nature, and u not
very highly valued in the markets of
the world. This plant food is larpely
air and water, and mankind is not din
posed U pay much for what is no abun
dant everywhere. Small proportions
of this plant food are minerals, which
have some value in market, and nitro
gen, which, although one of the most
abundant ingredient of the air. I so
olusivo that tho forces of nature fail to
utilize it to a largo extent in product,
and that in the market command a
food price. It i very doubtful wheth
er the average farmer receive much
remuneration for the plant food ot
which hi product are compounded.
2. There i the capital the farmer
ha invented in hi farm, in .acquiring
the title from government, in clearing
hi land; in fencing it, in draining it,
in build'.ng nhelter for hi tock and
store-house for hi product; in stock
ing hi farm with live animal and
with the necessary implement and ma
chinery for it cultivation and for tho
transportation of it products to mar
ket. Now the farmer ought to receive
enough from tho prolit of the farm to
pay interest on theno investments and
deterioration through use and age. Are
farmers certain that they receivo what
they are entitled to here?
8. Then most of our farmers do a
great (leal of severe manual labor,
working mo.-e hours In the day than
almost any other class of laborer. Ko
far as this is mere manual labor, such
a hired laborers could perform, it is
rated at about the lowest rate paid to
any class of laborers in the country,
and it is to be feared that this is about
the only kind of labor that some of our
farmer have to offer in markets. Jt is
not surprising that such farmer find
themselves poorly paid and running be
hind in this age of tho world.
4. Another factor which farmers
put into their market products is brain
energy, and this is the most valuable
of all that the farmer ha to offer in
the market of the world. Thin energy
is expended in solocting and purchasing
a farm, in planning its division so as to
promote convenience, in fencing it
with the most economical material,
and to no greater extfmt than it is
necessary, in locating, planning and
erecting tho necessary buildings, in
stocking the farm with tho most useful
and profitable animals and the most
necessary implements and machinery,
in adopting and carrying out the best
rotation of crops for each individual
farm, in selecting the best varieties of
the different species of crops, in saving
and applying fertilizers, in the best
cultivation for the particular soil, in
planning and directing every day's
labor, in selecting and employing as
sistance, in converting the crude pro
ducts into tho most profitable forms
practicable, under existing circum
stances, and in placing all marketable
products upon the best markets at the
best timo. What a vast opportunity
for the profitable employment of brain
energy, the most valuable kind of
energy man possesses. Doe any one
doubt that the farmer who employes
tho most of this factor makes the most
money, achieves the greatest success?
This species of energy is just as im
portant in converting the crude pro
ducts of the soil into more valuable
forms ot use, before offering them in
tho markets, us in growing tho crops,
and in a future issue we will essay to
how how the farmer can increase his
income in that direction. The great
majority of our fanners are doing quite
enough, in fact, too much, mere physi
cal labor; they should xtudy how to
use more skilled educated labor, so
that they may receive more of the
remuneration which the world cheer
fully awards to such labor.
I. line for l'eler.v.
Those who have a heavy soil to deal
with, says Popular (iardeiiing. in
growing this crop will have no ditti
culty in obtaining robust plants. The
crop looks well until it is dug and
washed, when it is often damaged by
small black slugs. Many are the
plans recommended for the prevention
of this evil, coal ashes, etc., us well
as iihing quantities of soot in earthlng
up and tiNo enveloping each stick in
drain pipon. The Snipping the stems
with paper plan is suocosnful, but too
tedious. The failing which many
heavy soils as well as many old garden
which tire ilrc-.od with leaves and
litter, is exhau-dioii of calcareous mat
ter. The remedy for this W the fiv
u.i of lime, W'v have tried all anti
dotes, now I'i'Siirt to lime for the whole
of the celery crop. Ibist it ever the
ground, milking bo'li celery and ground
quite liitii a ila or i i o before buiik
llig, mid this we tin about three times
dining the season, or u day or two in
tulvittiee of the llral, second and final
eai'llilng II)". Since ne have adopted
this phut we Imve hail no tmsiet
alamt the i!iinl. as they linve alwti
coma out clean and fr' from dUliwure
llieiil. Nut only doe tho line' kill Hi"
vein. in, but it iiiiiuiivc the snil ill
i favor of future cropping.

Faraa Note.
Fill the mind of the boys and girl
with knowledge about agriculture, and
the farm w ill not be deserted.
The fanner who combine with hi
own experience that of other will out
strip the farmer w ho relies exclusively
on hi own experience.
Sunshine, to a medium degree, t
very beneficial to poultry, but if they
are exposed too p-.uch and too long to
the hot sun, without Immediate shade,
they become diseased and die.
The hay and other material in hen'
nests should be changed at least once
a week. A soon a a setting hen
bring out her brood clean out the nest
carefully and burn all tho material.
A few pig can be kept and fattened
with very slight expense merely by
feeding them what would otherwise be
wasted, and giving them in addition
what one would feed to a large,
healthy dog.
A New Hampshire paper, the Man
chester Union, suggest the propriety
of letting bigness of strawberries rest
until flavor come in sight of it. "If
size Is all that Is wanted, we can use
apple or pumpkins."
One-third kerosoim and two-third
old gtwaso, old grease and a small
quiirtity of carbolie acid, and strong
tobacco water are gooil remedies for
lice o. stock. If these pests exist in
quantity cattle can not tlirive.
The farmer lake not only cost btt
his living out of hi receipt before
ho begin to count the prolit. The
merchant counts a prolit the difference
between the buying Biid selling price,
less the cost of the transaction, and
then lives on his prolit.
Country Gentleman: Among tho
great multitude of named varieties of
plant offered for sale throughout the
country, most of them will in a very
few year drop Into tho gulf of utter
oblivion, leaving a small number, per
haps one in fifty or a hundred, worthy
to remain.
American farmers when they were
all Independent land owner and work
er, grounded our nation on a sure
basis, and raised it to a prosperity that
made it a high example and lesson for
a graduul bettering of all other nations.
Hut now thousands of our farmers are
poor tenants. What will that lead to?
It is commonly claimed that the
sheep yields its owners two harvest
per year wool and lambs. An essay
ist, at a recent farmers' meeting prop
erly claimed three wool, lambs and
mutton. To keep up this supply, be
careful not to sell all the buck for
lambs, or there will soon be a poor va
riety of mutton.
Michigan Farmer: J. ii. llamsdell
applies the term "smothoratlon" to
tho lack of proper pruning and thining
of trees and grape vinos. He believes
in continuous pruning and thinning of
trees and grape vines. Ho believes In
continuous pruning and thinning of
superlltious branches and foliage, ad
mitting air and sunlight for perfect
fruit.
The expenses of the farm and family
go on through the year. It i almost
impossible to mako profit unless there
is equal continuity in selling. There
may be and should be special crops
that furnish the bulk of money received
from the farm; but if this is drawn upon
by a continual drain not relieved by
any new supply, it will be drawn down
to nothing. For years southern farm
ers have depended wholly on their sales
of cotton, and though this is one of the
most profitable crops grown it has been
impossible for southern planters to keep
out of debt until they adopted the north
ern plan of growing a diversity of crops.
Iliuls for the Household.
Tho best thing to clean tinware is
common soda; rub on briskly with a
damp cloth, after which wipe dry.
Why should you bo ashamed to be
getting old? It, is a sign it is prima
facie evidence that you have behaved
tolerably well or you would not have
lived to this time.
Always scrape otl all old paper from
walls before hanging new; it, is not de
lightful labor, but preferable to the
illness that may result from successive
layers of mouldy paper.
If a woman was as careful in select
ing a husband to match her disposition
us she is in selecting a dress to match
her complexion there would be fewer
marriage troubles than there aie.
Western Rural: The more you think
of the ".science" of medicine the more
ridiculous the whole thing appears.
The less poisonous drugs you put into
your system the better you are off. and
what is true of yourself in this respect
is true of your animals.
White paint should bo cleaned with
whiting and water. llaril-tiiiished
walls may be washed with soil) suds
and then wiped with a soft dry cloth.

THE HUMBUG OF PROVERB.
Assawlog to Is th K.weac of Wl.dom,
Thay An ortea I'awU.
A proverb ha been defined a the
wisdom of many and the wit of one.
Into many proverb are packed pithy
suggestion a to conduct and general
ized e.K-rience of mankind. They are
sarcastic, hortative, minatory, mirth
provoking, but they are not wiser than
the jieoplo that make them. Hence,
many of them, some of them most
widely current, are arrant humbugs.
If they were once true to experience,
under certain condition, they aro true
no longer. To say this 1 flat contra
diction of that well-known proverb,
Xolwdy 1 wiser than everybody."
but even that i one of the humbug.
It not infrequently happen that a
single man i wiser than hi whole
generation. Such men become first
the leadeisj, then the martyr, of their
age, but aro the saint and heroes of
the age that follow. A a flagrant In
stance of proverbial unwiadom and
humbug, take the distich that ha been
dinned into the ear of unnumbered
generation of children:
Karly to bed, and early to rise.
Make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is li tei-se and witty generalization
of a pastoral community, where to get
on in the world it wa necessary to
work in the field from "sun up" to
"sun down." It ho no application
w hatever to town life. Tho wealthy
and wise mon of town aro men who
work late and rise- late; and as to
health, It 1 notorious that no part of our
population so suffer from all manner
of disease as farmer and their fam
ilies. Yet how many have been de
prived of their natural sleep by a
superstition, begot of this wretched
rhyme, thut early rising i conducive
to health. It is only in recent years
that pooplo have had the courago to
take tho sleep tnat nature demanded.
The man who did so a generation ago
was called "lazy" tho most intoler
able of all epithets. Franklin nover
aimed a proverb at him: "Men need
five hours' sleep, women six, children
and fool seven."
Nowadays, the man who takes less
than eight i a fool. Take some of the
maxim inculcating shrewd business
policy: "A penny saved is a penny
earned" has ruined many a man who
could not persuade himself to spend
money with judicious lavishness in en
larging hi business. The penny saved
was so large in his eye tiial it hid the
dollar lost by hi foolish economy.
"Out of debt, out of danger," and
"Better go to bed supperless than rise
in debt" are a precious pair that have
brought many to the poor house. Debt
is the only salvation of many a man.
Not debt recklessly Incurred by ex
travagant living beyond his moans,
but debt incurred In the purchase of a
home or tho establishing of a business.
Where would modern commercial af
fairs be but for credit. Hut credit
means debt; for if A trusts B, B must
owe A. Debt makes many a man
careful and saving, who would spend
all he gets if ho had no p.-essing
obligations to meet. So he is forced,
as it were in spite of himself, to pro-
ide for sickness and old age. New

POPULAR SCIENCE.
Small articles made of malleable iron
are now finished and . polished bright
by being placed in revolving drums
with curriers shavings, from which
they emerge with all of tho rough
edges smoothed and the surface highly
polished.
The Lancet (London) relates a num
ber of unmistakable eases of eczema

The blackened teeth of the Malays
and Siamese are not produced, as has
been supposed heretofore, by coating
them with a mixture of betel and lime,
but by rubbing the teeth with a paste
made from charred coeoanitt kernels.
This is carefully applied to tho teeth

Dr. Joseph Leidy, who has roeently
examined some fossil remains from

chides that this animal must have been
fully as largo as the best specimens of

it is related. A number of species of
