NlocU for Irofit 0:1 tlic Farm. Stock raising has always been the most profitable I eat me of mixed Tarming among the masses. How it is much more to, ;viih this one con dition, that the sfock raised for profit must be improved blood. Scrub stock no longer pays as well to sell the farm products as to feed them to good stock. Then good stock is what formers waut, not fine or fancy stock, but stock judiciously graded up, improved every year by breeding only to thoroughbred males. Such stock matures earlier, grows larger, makes better meat, and sells for more money than scrub stock ou the same feed. Although the price of stock is very low, the remedy is to raise a better quality that matures quicker and commands the best price. One of our exchanges gives the following reasons why a system of mixed farming, which includes the raising of stock large!', is surer and at the same time more profitable, that thus the farm is kept up to its origiual fertility and often to in creased fertility. These farmers never make an entire failure of crops, however bad the season. His fat stock gives him cash returns twice a year, if necessary, oucc in the 6pring from winter feeding and agaiu in the autumn from pasturage. In the case of sheep, this gain is add ed to by the wool gold in the sum mer. His dairy and poultry yard will furnish no small sum during the spring, summer and autumn. The milk, butter aud cheese, and a well kept vegetable garden, will fur nish one-half the living of the family. These rules, as stated, are general ones. They will apply to all sec tions of the country, north, south, eaht and west, being modified only by climatic conditions and the adaptation of certain animals and plants to a climate. The rule will apply always. The farmer who raises the greatest variety of crops or animals which his soil is capable of sustaining, is, all things consider ed, the best and most successful.

For many years past there has re sided at Crooked Creek, Miim..about eight miles north of New Albin, an eccentric old German, supposed to be a miser. He secluded himself as much as possible, and desired to be lefl alone. He is reported to have had considerable wealth buried on his farm. A number of years ago a party of men went to his lonely hut at midnight and attempted to extort from him his money, and on his re fusal, they divested him of his cloth ing, made a fire in his stove, and held him over it till he was fearfully burned, threatening to take his life. He still refused, saying, "My life is worth nothing if I have no mouey." A few weeks ago he was taken sick. Mr. Ward, a neighbor, called to see him and oflered assistance. lie told him that he would take him te his own house and care for him, or, if ho preferred, would make arrange ments to have him taken to some of his friends if he had any. The old man refused, and told Mr. "Ward to get out and not meddle with his affairs. As he has at times kept himself out of sight, no attention was paid to his nou-appcarauce for some days after. Ono of his neigh bors., however, had occasion to call on him this morning to sec about some cattle. He found the door and windows fastened, and as everything did not look right, he went down to the railroad track where the section men were at work, and asked that one of them would go with him and ascertain how matters stood. The request was granted, and on rcach ' ing the house the door was pried open. Un entering, the ofiensivc 6mell could not at first be endured. After waiting a few moments out side, they entered the second time and found old Nic ou his pallet dead and rotting, with big black bugs and worms feeding on his putrid re maius. It is thought he died from want and proper care, while he had abundant means to provide all that was necessary for his health and comfort. The Evils of Fondling Vein. "Writing of diphtheria, a corres pondent of the Louisville (Ky.) Jfedical ffcics makes the folio win" remarks : The report of the epidemic at Darmstadt being concluded, allow me to make a remark as to its pos sible cause, one which I have not observed taken notice of in the cor respondence on this singular out break of tho disease. It is well known that women and children arc in the habit of kissing pet cats aud dogs, especially wheu these favorites arc ill, with discharge from the nose, cough, and sore throat, and even use their pocket handkerchiefs to wipe away the secretion. I have seen this done frequently. It is a common saying, "There, the cat has got a cold; now it will go through the house," and as this remark has been repeatedly fulfilled, it shows how careful people should be in avoiding contact with such a mode of contagion. I do not affirm this was the way iu which the disease was contracted either within or without the palace walls, but I feel sure the habit of kissing pets is a source of danger that should be Widely known aud prevented.

Slate Journal. Write Home. Editou Journal. : An old lady of more than three score years and ten, to whom I often 6cnd your ex cellent paper, wishes me to write something for it which will particu larly remind the readers thereof, of the "old folks in the old, old home," who month after month look iu vain for a letter from their children who have "gone west," and are scattered far and wide. I clipped the follow ing poetry from a piece of an old stray paper, aud I do not know who the author is, but I think it is better thau anything which I could 6ay up on that subject, evcu though I should try, and try again : therefore I ask a place for it in the Journal, aud iu the minds of its readers also.

Don't go to the theatre, grange, or ball, Hut stay in your room to-night; Deny yourself of the friends who call And a good, long letter write Write to the sad. old folks at homo Who sit when the day is done. With folded hands and downcast eyes And think of the absent one. Don't selfishly scribble "excuse my haste, I've scarcely the time to write." Lest their brooding thoughts go wander ing back To many a bj--gone night, When they lost their needed sleep and rest, And every breath was a prayer That God "would leave their delicate babe To their tender love and care. Don't let them feel that you've no more need Of their love or counsel wise; Forthc heart grows strangely sensitive When age has dimmed the eyes It might be well to let them believe You never forget them, quite; That you deem it a pleasure, when far away, Long letters home to write. Don't think that the young and giddy friends, Who make your pastime gay, Have half the anxious thought for you That the old folks have to-day. The duty of writing do not put oil"; Let sleep or pleasure wait, Lest the letter for which they looked and longeu Be a day or an hour too late. For the sad, old folks at home. With locks fast turning white, Are longing to hear from the absent one Write'them a letter to-night. He was a sharp-looking little man who offered to go on the bail bond of a prisoner. The counsel for the people was suspicious, and asked him, quite sternly, "Do I understand you to swear that you arc a proper ty holder in this country?" "You do," he answered proudly, "I own two lots in a buryiiigground less'n a quarter mile from here."
