Grandma Susan.
Grandma Susan was an'cld lady, who
one lived in a little lonelvrbrown cottage
just below the yillaje of C . . She
was poor, and earned her living by nurs
ing the' sick, raising a little garden stuff",
and knitting socks. , Evervbodv loved the
old lady because she was good. She was
happy too. : Her face so calm, so sweet,
so heavenlvv was a sermon' to all that
looked upon it; for though it - was plain.
even to nomenness, .it snone . wiin . tne
light of the Divine Presence which dwelt
in her soul. " ""' ' ' .
T ,
peace is like a river." Bless the Lord,
0 my soul." ' ' '' '; . " , .' ',(
'What make3 'you so. bappy, Susan?"
1 asked. ; "You are alone in the world, you
are poor, ycti are 'feeble, you work hard,
and you CTe happier than any'princess.
Tell me your secret, , :
" "Perhaps," said Susan "its because I
have none but God to look to. Rich peo
ple have many things to . trust in and to
care for, and are always anxious about
troubles ahead. '..'I have nothing to care
fr, because, you see, I leave it all to the
Lord. If He cantake care of the big
world, -I know He can surely take care of
such a poor old woman, as I am; and so
I leave everything to him, and He does
take -care of me, blessed be His holy
name!" - ; ,:'
'"But Susan," said I, "suppose :God
should take away your health, or com
mand His lightening to burn '" your cot
tage, or the first frost to destroy your
garden stuff" suppose" r,,:. . j '
; . The old. lady here broke in upon my re
quest with a voice and look I never shall
forget. ! Said she : r ) . . .r
"Suppose! I never do pappose.. I can't
suppose the . Lord : will do anything that
isn't best for me. It's this supposing,
that make people unhappy; Why not
wait till the suppose comes, and then make
the best of it?"
Oh, wise lady ! Oh trustful Grandma
Susan!.: ; ; . . ? . . i l
-: When Grandma Susan died, she" had
but one regret. She told it to a friend
in these memorable works: -
"Tell all the: children that an old wo
man, who is near to death, is very much
grieved that she did not begin to lova
the Savior when" she was a little child.
Tell them youth is the time to serve the
Lord.".- : , ;' - ': '.i:-. .:
Well, Grandma Susan : is gone to the
world of love now, but I hope my chil
dren will take her . advice. She had trav
eled all the dusty read of life.--She had
learned that the best thing for comfort oa
that journey is love to the Saviarv : She
knew, because she had tried it. What
say you to th.s, , boys and girls ? 5 ,You
have the journey to make. ',The road lies
before you;' Ions:, (perhaps) dusty, rough,
dangerous. Will you venture upon, it
without Susan's secret ? I hope net.
-Why is a minister like a locomotive! Be
cause we have to look out for him 'when
the bell rings. 1 ; " : "
- Why would ladies make better traders
and pedlars than 'men? 'Becanse they
never get shaved; ' - '- . . , .
In looking over the proceedings !cf the
Ohio Sunday, School Convention, we find
the following resolution; offered by one
Mr. Smith, a pious and promising young
lawyer: " " " , .
Resolved, That a committee cf ladies
and gentlemen be appointed to '; raise
children for the Sabbath School. .
The world's fawning is, more ', to . be
dreaded than its frowning," and its smiles
more to be feared than its thunders.
Prentice says he has heard of but one
old woman who ever kissed a cov, but he
knows of many thousand young ones who
have kissed great calves. '
AGRIGULTUML; :
- From the American A jricuZt'mHtl.
l nints on tlie EooS Crops. :
' We have just fed out the . last cf cur
carrot3, and the only fault Yve have to find
.with' them, is, that they are gone; The
quadrupsds that have fed upon- them, from
the horse in the stable to the pig m the
sty, coincide' ia this lamentation. We
are scrry that we had not raised two tuns
mere, both because our neighbors want to
purchase, and we want mare, to finish out
the seassa: ' We have fed rutabagas, car
rets, rj-ar beets, and mar rel wurtzsh,
and like them also cV well, unt we shall
plant more of them than all that we have
6ver raised before. ' Each of these roots
has, its peculiar advantages, and . every
farmer who has the usual variety of stock
ujuu ins iarni, suouiu raise mem aw. ah
domestic animals crrve a variety of food,
and will thrive much, better' upon , a half
dozen different kinds,! than upon any one.
They not only eat a larger quantity of
food,1 but iris more perfectly assimilat
ed, and the farmer, gets a better return
for his fodder, in the growth of his - ani
mals, or. in beef,' milk, or butter. : " ; :
;' We have never fed anything that' Will
bring out horses.or cows in so good con
dition in the. spring, -as a diet! partially of
roots. . .They are particularly valuable in
the three Spring months, before cattle are
turned 'out to grass. 'They are . full of
juice, and are highly relished with the
dry hay and meal to which' cattle are
often confined at this season, .They keep
the bowels loose, and the appetite in uni
form good condition. We have never
had the , slightest' case of illness among
animlas fed on roots.' : ' "
" The carrot is the best of roots for the
horse; fed a peck a day with other food,
they aid digestion, and keep them in fiesh.
We think a diet of hay, cats, and carrots,
half and half :of the last two,' i3 the best
food we have ever tried for horses. They
woric as well as when fed on hay or oats.
Carrots are also admirable for milch cows
and for young stock. ' They increase the
richness of the milk, without adding any
any unpleasant flavor. This objection is
brought against a diet of turnips, and for
this reason thev should be fed to ether an-;
iraals, as oxen, fatlinrs and youn.'? cattle.

it was also weighed. The average daily
yield during this period was about 1 thirty
poaads, or ..fifteen quarts. Fcr tho first
ten days in September the average yield
cf milk was thirty -J wo and a haU' pounds
per day.

In

come in for feeding in the Spring. . .
' These roots economize land, and should
receive a large share of attention from
those farners who live in the vicinity of
towns and cities, where land is dear. The
yield will vary from five hundred to two
thousand bushels to the acre, according
to the quality of the soil,' and the amount
of manure and labor expended upon it.
With extraordinary treatment, much larg
er crops than these are sometimes real
ized. ' The land that produces three tuns
of hay to the acre, may be made to pro
duce twenty-five tuns of. carrots, which
would have four or five' times ,the' nutri
tive value of the hay. In no other way
can a farmer get so mcch valuable fod
der upon a given piece of land, as by the
culture of roots. ,
The bearing of these crops upon the
compost heap, is a very important advan
tage. The manure voided by an animal
fed on roots, is enormous in quantity, and
of a very good quality, though not quite
equal to that made by feeding grain and
oat-meal. ' If properly cared for and
mixed with muck, under cover, it will on
ly take one season to make a farmer an
advocate of root crops. ; -. ; .
The strongest objection brought against
the cultivation of these raots, is the fact
that farmers have never tried tharn. The
labor of cultivating, harvesting, and stor
ing, is generally over-estimated, and the
stereotyped farmer keeps on with his bay
and grain. -We -greatly desire the class
of our readers who own small farms, and
want to make the most of. them; to try
roots, even if it be.no more than a quar
ter of an acre. The great thing is to
make a beginning, and to' see with one's
own eyes the enormous -of food the soil
will yield in .roots. . Prepare the ground
thoroughly, and manure heavily as for
thejlargest corn crop. , .. . , ,. r -.

the opinion of the committee, entitled her
to receive the first premium. To the na

Eenedyfor Short Pasture. ;
' Those who have but a limited range
cf pasture, and keep stock enough to crcp
it well, are almost at the mercy cf.tha
weather. If there chancd to be favor
ing rain3, and a good 1 season for the
growth of grass and clover, all ii well.
Bat, if,' as is liable to occur, there comes
a long period of drouth, the-' browned
fields,' already closely cropped, suffer se
verely, having little to protect the roots
from the full power cf the sun, and the
cattle suffer yet more. ;The milk pails
show serious diminution, the dairying
profits shrink, and the stock fall pfF when
they should bo gaining. -' A severe check
of this kind wiil.be felt loo throughout
the season," for much of the pasture may
be "Summer killed," and the full fiowcf
milk-can hardly be regained. .Thi'3 may
be guarded against by putting ia a small
plat of corn, sorghum, millet or .ether
suitable crop ' for cutting and feeding
green. An acre of corn sown broadcast
now, will very soon yield sufHci;nt to give
great relief to short pasture. It is not
necessary to stable the cows; cut a good
supply fcr them; and feed night and mor
ning, before . they leave the yard ; they
will eat it with a relish, and make am
ple returns in the milk pans and in the
churn. Even if .the threatened drouth
should not come,' and abundance cf grass
should grow, the soiling crop need'notbe
lost. Cut at the proper season, and prop
erly cured, it will not come amiss next
Winter. . -
