Iv;mi:i am not the only ones who have been for :i longtime, ' and still are. subject to occasional spells f mysterious sickness. To be sure, they all have their turn of the measles. mid Uike their fafl'ron tea "to make them come out;'' the mumps, and make j horrible faces when they taste anything I sour; the whooping-eoiij.li, also, and double themselves up in the most ridic ulous shapes in their paroxysms of coughing. But in none of these lis-c.-Lses do they seem anxious to conceal . ivhat is wrong. It would be perfectly I useless to try to conceal it, and, indeed, ' wiry should they want to? Are they not all necessary complaints which come to ns sooner or later? But the boys on the hilly farms have actually heeu known to have spells of tho most mysterious illness, spells which ' hauled the medical skill ot the whole family'. I once knew Sam Thompson to wake up in the morning very sick. iu"to too sick, apparently, to go to hchool. It happened, strangely enough, lo be on the morning of the day when the men were to w:ish the sheep. I don't. suppose I need describe how they io tins piece nl wonconuie hilly larms. They do it the same way everywhere, bo that a boy who has learned it prop erly in one State can easily put his knowledge into practice in another. Well, 1 said Sam waked up .sick. Ho . lay in bed late, and couldn't c-it any I breakfast; but he begged oil from tak- , ing medicine, and drooped around like :t eon tinned invalid till the rest of tho. children had gone lo school. Of course, if he had been well, ho would have ' gone, too. for it is just on such ocra hions as these that the fathers on the hilly farms seem obstinately bent on making scholars out of 'heir boys. They scan ely leave a point to hang an excti'-o upon for staying out of school. I I don't mean to say that Sam was dangerously sick. By no means. If J lie had been, he would not have been r.ble to go to the creek to see the fun of the sheep-washing. He was merely too sick to go to school. In fact, I . don't know anything that requires nicer ' judgment than it does to coutrivo just liow to bo too sick to ;o to school and 2 et not so sick as to unlit one for en-j joy nig the sport of washing sheep. Sam co ild not be of any practical use , at the sheep-washing, for his legs were, too short to go into tho deep water. A . . last year's lamb, frightened at being plunged into the stream, might have . scrambled on him and drowned him. ( He was too small to catch sheep in tho i pen and hand them down to tho wash-1 er.s. Indeed, no one without longer legs and stouter body could be very uso- I W Jul on that occasion; but Sam could look on as industriously and enjoy tho fun as much :s anybody you ever saw. But you said Sam was sick. Certain ly 1 dill; but didn't I say he was not dangerously sick? People who aro dangerously sick seldom get well; and it was but a short time alter the chil dren had gone to school when ho M began to get better. Ho improved bo rapidly that, long beforo noon, lie went down to the creek to see how the sheep-washing camo along. In a surprisingly short time he was shouting and hallooing with glee, and had entirely forgotten how ill ho was in the morning. 1 should bo safo in saying that ho quite overdid tho matter, for ho got so well that, when dinner was over, his father had made tip his mind that it was altogether too bad for a boy who seemed so hearty to lose a whole day from school, and so I sent him oil' for tho afternoon session. I think 1 see him now, trudging along sorrowfully to school, looking wistfully toward tho sheep pens on the bank of the ercek, and wondering, in a dovish way, why things in this world cannot be "differently arranged. But Sam's" mysterious spells of sick ness were not all of this nature, though 1 recall no less than four other separate and painful attacks which he suffered. On two of these occasions his mother was heard to say that she had kuown boys to die who didn't seem a bit sicker than Sam was; and yet he was ablo to be up again in a remarkably short time. One of these spells camo upon him in this way: It was in tho sprinsr of the year. For several reasons 1 think I may be quito positive about that. Yet I feel suro it was not tho "spring fever" that ailed him, because boys seldom in fact, never get really sick with that disease, and what is wonderful about it, they may lake it or it may take them, m rather at any season of the year. though most "frequently when the sun l is hot, and, so far as I " know, never in 1 the midst of their slumbers at night. These are some of my reasons for say ing that I. know it was not "spring fever." Sam had an uncle Henry and aunt Jane Wclton, who lived away over on Slippery Elm bottom, where they had a famous sugar-camp. One spring, after they had finished sugar-making, thoy loaded up tho wagon with ' great buckets filled with sugar thev didn't make it into cakes and drove up through the hillv countrv to sell it. 1 hey stopped over night at Mr. Thompson's whero a. Aunt Jane remained to visit a few days. But when Uncle Henry started the next doming he left a bucket well filled with sugar, and it was set in the pantry. This was a nice thing to do, and I have not the slightest fault to find with anvbody, except that the Thompsons we not so generous with their sugar as tl.e- might have been. Nobody of-v- f ercd Sam a taste of it. This made him feel that he was treated with very little consideration. He bore it as best he could, and lato in the evening his mother called to him from the sitting room: " Sam, my son," said she, "what are you doing?" - Oh, nothin1 much," said Sam, from pantrv. " But it's time to go and feed the ralvcs," said his mother. " Well can't I get a string to make & whip-cracker?" said Sam. " Certainly you can," said his mother; "but you'd better hurry, or you'll not j get the wood in till after dark." ia?., Sam was usually quick about his '?

" Hello!" he said. "I didn't think I had leftso much. But ain't I glad they didn't look in there!" But a much worse spell overtook Sam on a Sunday evening once in the . . . . latter part of June. On Sunday morn- iiiL'S in the summer, when Sam was :t . . . .i i -ii hoy, the people on mo nuiy iarms in Western Pennsylvania hitched up their teams, took in the whole family and drove off two or three miles to church. There they listened to a long sermon, which was followed bv a recess, and that by another sermon.'and then they i drove home, arriving there about three o'clock, almost famished for some thing to cat, of course. Nobody was left at home except for a special rea son, as, for example, to watch the bees if they were threatening 'to swarm; anil it was for this reason exactly that Sam was left at homo on tho Sunday now referred to. He acted that day under special orders from his mother. They were de livered from tho top of tho "uppin' block" when she was on the point of stenpini: into the wagon to start; for you mut know that people on tho hilly , farms went to church in me iarm . wagon.

He had often expected them to swarm and they duln't, but it gave him no such feelings as these. Cju d it be because he hadn't got on well with the cate chism? That was the most probable thing, for ho had a notion that no boy could reasonably expect to bo comfort able, at any stage of existence, who didn't know his "questions." He thought, therefore, he might be suffer ing the pangs- of conscience, and he fixed his attention on the book to see if that would relieve him. For the hun dredth time he read over tho answer to the question he Avas trying to learn, and then he looked off tho book to see if he could repeat it. Yes, he looked oft the book, placed ouo hand on his stomach while the other held the book and gazed thought fully into the distance; and as he did so, ne found he was sick. He knew that one of the first questions usually asked a sick boy is, " What have you been eating?" But he knew fie hadn't eaten anything that tasted as if it would harm him. Still, as he reflected about it, his mind persisted in coming round in a sort of circle to preserves and cream, and he was almost startled to find he hadn't the slightest appetite for them that is, for them stirred up together with a spoon.

There is much truth in the biblical expression, " All flesh is grass," and likewise not only tho various meats farm animals aro lanrely duo to the growth of gras3. Wool can bo consid ered as a product of tho pasturo and tho meadow, and asfor milk and butter, thoy aro still moro directly the con densed forms of grasses. The firmer who would bo successful, must keep a sharp eye upon his land that is down to gnus. If it yields him a good crop of hay. or furnishes him a rich pasture for his animals, ho may be quite sure ho is on the road to success. On the other hand, if tho meadow is light, and the pasture furnishes only a scanty picking, there is littlo hope that the year will be a profitable one. Look well to tlo grass land. The number of kinds of grasses that it is protitable to grow is quite large, some of them being better suited for ono set of conditions of soil, climate, etc.. while others thrive host when the cir- Climstan0cs aro qn-llo tho opposite. A Krass that is now attracting considera- 1)Ie attetton aml i3 worthy of still is lho orchard ass (Dactyl alomcrata). This grass is generally known inKngland as "cock's-foot." and the seed is sold as such in foreign seed stores.- It is not a native of our coun try, but canes to us from Europe It was brought from England in colonial times, so that it is an old guest, and is in fact so tmch at homo here that wo can call it ,a regular resident a wel- come meniber o? onr group of valuable Thig orchard ',5 W;l3 so was taken in 1764, and thus a new and increased in terest was created in it under its new name. Since that time the culture of orchard grais ha3 largely increased, and it now holds a high rank as an agricult ural fodder plant. One of oar leading authorities on grasses writes of the orchard grass as follows: "We may say that we know of no other grass, not oven the universal ly cultivated timothy, so well deserv ing the attention of our farmers for j hay and pasturage as orchard grass. It adapts itself to all varieties of soil: I . .. . . "j j " "vu in tho shads of trees; it gives a heavy aftermath, and it is in its best condi tion, in blossom, at the same time as red clover; all of these being in its favor as a meadow grass. For pastures it is quite a$ valuable, starting quite early in spring; pushing a new growth very rapidlyafter it has been grazed over; lasting late in the fall, and endur ing drouth better than almost any other." There are some objections to the orchard grass. It has a tendency to grow in tussocks, thus giving an "un even surface to tho meadow or pasture. The plants have a weak hold upon the soil, the roots not being large or deep. On this account the grass is sometimes pulled up by the roots as it is being fed upon by cattle. Thick seeding will overcome, very largely, the first objec tion, and the second can be remedied by a rolliDg early in spring as soon as the grass starts, and also oy not turn ing cattle upon the seeded laud until the roots have made a good growth. It should not be pastured the first sea son. Like timothy, tho seed of the orchard grass noay be sown with the grain crops either in the spring or fall. Two bushels of seed per acre is little enough, using about fifteen pounds of clover seed wiri it. Cor. Country Gen tleman.

A thorough dusting with Persian inect fKiwdcr once or twice a week, is a great help to the hen. but it does not destroy tho mvriads which dwell in every irack in a board, or joint between, or the crevices of a stoue wall which frequently forms the foundation of the house- The first tune the hen leaves her nest she shakes tho insecticide from her feathers, aud then the insects renew their depredation. The sitting period, as every jKJtiltry man know., quite frequently tear a hen all to pieces she comes out of it a mere skeleton, tLe large high-colored comb which she carried when she began her task is sickly and shriveled, and the bright color faded out. Her feathers aro in about the same condition. This destruction of the hen is not necessary, as many a hen will prove that has nut her three weeks in some out-of-the-way place at a distance from the poultry house. She has lost weight, her comb anil feathers are somewhat dull and smudgy, but a week or two will put her in condition again. Few chicks aro hatched in infested nests; the hens can't sit closely enough to keep up the requi site temperature. The constant twist ing about of the head o pick the bitten spot lets a littlo cold air to the eggs, and the embryo dies in consequen . And when an egg gets rotten (its rot tenness being due in nine cases out of ten to the death of the chick from this lack of heat), its contents begin to ex ude through the pores of the shell, and the mites hasten to the feast- Seasons in which eggs fail to hatch well Oho poultry journals inform us that there are such) are probably seasons favor able to the propagation of the mile Now the larger and moro complicated the poultry house, the more cracks and Knvdl hiding places for tho mites to breed in. and the moro difficult to ap ply any insecticide effectively. Such houses require more attvnt on and work than one man in a hundred will ever devote to them, and moro than tho profits from tho poultry would pay for. if it were done. If o wih to raise healthy, quick-growing chicks, thev should never be allowed lo approach such a structure. The liability of a fowl or chick to take cold is the othcrgreat drawback in this business. Years ago it was much more common to see fowls roost ing on trees in winter than it is now, ami, if the evidence of old people is to be taken, roup and cholera were un known diseases. But to keep a lot of fowls and allow them to roost in the trees in winter, even admitting that by so doing thev would never 'contract roup and chofern. is too outrage u.s to be tolerated. Wild birds live out of doors all winter; we can't help it and aro not responsible for it; but when wo come to the common fowl, wo are deal ing with animals cither educated r susceptible of education; and if thoy be decently educated, there will be no difficulty in inducing them to sleep in doors. "We should provide a roo-ting house for them which which will retain tho healthy conditions of the tree, and at tho same time protect them from winds aud storms. A very large amount of fresh air is absolutely necessary; and a close house will not admit it. If wo build partially underground to secure warmth, it will bo more or le.s damp, and a damp roosting placo is a fruitful source of roup and cholera. Fowls are disposed to huddle together as closely as possible on the perches; by so doing they become overheated, and when thoy go out in the m irniugthc sudden ness of the change of temperature in duces colds. Hence in arranging perch es space enough to allow a good cir culation of fresh air should bo left be tween them. Our model poultry house, then, will stand on the surface of the earth, and not be an incipient mine; it will not bo large, and not be expected to houso more than twenty or thirty fowls. Ex perience is clearly against large flocks. If we desire to keep moro we should in crease the number instead of the size of our houses. Six feet high and six feet by eight feet on the ground will bo largo enough, leave the south side en tirely open in summer and partially close it in winter; put in one sash and that of moderate size; glass allows the heat to pass through it so rapidly, that if the whole front were of glass the fowl3 would get about as cold in tho long nights as they would wero the front en tirely open. Such a house can be read ily moved to a clean place: which is much less work than properly cleaning a permanent floor: and besides, oilers many advantages in getting rid of ver min. Cor. N. V. Tribune. Temper. Happy is he who can command his temper even under trying circumstances! The evils wrought by unbridled tem pers are beyond calculation. The vio lent temper of a fretful and irasciblo man gives his friends much concern. His conduct, when under its intluence, renders him very uuamiablc. and of course greatly diminishes their regard for him. And this is not all. If he has any real sensibility, the emotions he feels are as painful as those he causes in the breasts of others. When tho calm of retirement succeeds to the bus tle of company, his solitary moments are embittered by very mortifying re flections; for it has been well remarked, " that anger begins with follv and ends with repentance." A few bitter words spoken in anger may rankle for a life time. Self-command, beside prevent ing their utterance, enables us to main tain the dignity of our nature as intelli gent beings, by establishing the empire of reason over the passions. It renders a person the master of himself under all the various circumstances of life; in prosperity, cheerful without insolence: and in adversity, resigned and calm without dejection. It gives an effectual check to all the vicious propensities of envy, malice and anger; and in the same proportion as it restrains them, it encourages the growth of the virtues, prevents them from running into ex tremes, and fixes their due bounds. Canteloupes.

For private do mestic use, the little trouble which this protection, gives is repaid a hundred fold in the excellence ot the flavor of the fruit, and we think causes them to mature earlier.

Tho Amtnain Ayru-ulturuU utters a tirnelv warning against the ue of iced water, or even of large quantities of cold water from a well, when one 1 overheated. It is better to drink mod erately of cool water frequently than to wait until one Is excess. e'y tlnrty, and then drink very cold water. The bet way to Leep water cool iu a jug m the open air is to wrap several tbnime" of carpet about the vessel and keep it constantly moist. If there is a free cir culation of air about it. the rapid i-vaj. oration will keep the water as cool as it ou,hl to be for safe drinking. Stewed Cucumbers. Cut the cu cumbers fully half an inch thick rignt through: put them iu a saucepan, put covering them with hot water, nnd lt them bod .slowly for a quarter of au hour, or until tender, but not so as to break them; then drain them; you want now a pint of good cream, ai.d put your cream with a tcaspoonful of butler in a saucepan, and when it is warm pop in the cucumbers; season with a littlo salt aud white pepper, cook live minutes, shaking tho sauce pan all the time, and servo hot.

Blind Staggers. The stomach of the horje and tho brain are directly united to each other in the ties of sym pathetic relationship through the great sympathetic nerve, and, whenever de leterious food is fed or where tho stomach is overburdened with nutri tious diet, it then becomes incapable of performing its normal function aud the intelligence of disturbance is suddenly communicated to thu brain and thu brain becomes secondarily affected and staggers aro developed. The stomach when in a nornnl coml t:on will to a great extent overcome the evil ellects produced by either indigestible, fer mented or decayed articles of food on the nerves or mucous membranes of the stomach. As soon as any disturb ance takes place in the stomach whether produced by corn meal grown on old or new ground (both of which when fed clear and in meal form and without mixing with other kinds of cereal grain are wholly indigestible), or any other character" of unsound, as musty and dei-ayed grain, or provender food -an attack of gastritis, inflamma tion of the stomach, or staggers or dvs pcj.sia will bo the result sooner or later. Almost every species of constitutional disease with which domesticated ani mals aro afflicted is caused by neglect or oversight in their sanitary or dietary care or in their general management. N. Y. World. Shade and Shelter for Sfoc'-f. It is no uso, when the cold north wind is howling through tho crevices of the stable, or the broiling sun is roasting the miserable fly-plagued cat t'e, to say that we wished we had planted something to make things moro comfortable, unless we attend to such tilings now. It is really surprising to note how many miserable places there are in the country which a few dollars or a few hours at this season would make qui'o pleasant A few Norway or sugar maples, spruces, cherry trees or willows, planted around buildings cost very little and yet help wonder fully to make winter pass pleasantly away. In" regard to cattle in the summer time left to roam about sunburnt pas tures, a fow shade trees are a positive luxury. It is a real pleasure to sec the cows lying under the shade after hav ing, perhaps, just passed some in the vicinity roasted and flyed to death in the open field. It is, however, not so easy to provide for this as it is to shelter one's buildings. A tree in the middle of a pasture field is all very well while it is in pasture; but no good farmer has any faith in these days in permanent pasture, and when the time comes for grain or root crops in that piece of ground there is no greater nuisance than to have trees about. It interferes with tho plowing, and thpn it robs the ground of food. It is astonishing what an extent a root will push in search of food when the tree to which it is attached stands in the open ground. Still there are gen erally odd corners where trees may be left "to advantage, especially a wet place, perhaps, near a spring, where a willow would grow, which might as well be planted with something as not. It is not always necessary to send a long distance to a nursery for trees, though it never does any harm to pa tronize those public benefactors, the nurserymen, when one can afford to do so; but even these good people do not object to others planting anything they can get for nothing rather than to have them not plant at alL Trees from the woods, if any are at coiomand, can be made to do tolerably if cure be taken in planting, and if they be severely oruned at planting; and in the case of the willow and poplar, large branches, if diverted ot the small twigs and made like stakes, grow as well without as with J root.
