I Don’ts for Bachelors.

Don’t remain as yon are any longer than you can help yourselves. Don't think a bachelor is the best form of man. Don’t presume upon your independence. Don’t be too “palavering” with the Women. Don’t forget that you are growing old very rapidly. Don’t think because you think a bachelor is the happiest man in the world that he is really so. Don’t try to hide that bald spot, or the streaking gray hairs. Don’t try to prevent yourselves loving little children. Don’t button yourselves up in yourselves. Don’t be a bachelor, that’s all.

Improvements on the Monon.

Great improvements on the Morion are now to be pushed with all possible dispatch. The capital stock of the road has been Increased, and 83,200.000 of the additional Stock has been sold, for cash, and this amount will be spent in the improvement of the road. Over 5,000 tons of heavy steel rails b%pe been purchased and are now being put down, together with 250.000 new cross-ties. All wooden bridges will be removed and replaced with new lrou and steel ones. New locomotives, freight cars, and passenger coaches have been purchased. The terminals at Chicago and Louisville aie to be ooubled In capacity. Somewherj In- the neighborhood of 81 ,000;<Jbo is to be spent In the p-t paratlon for the World’s Fair. All the sid.ngs along the route are to be greatly lengthened so that the speed of trains can be increased with safety. A dining-car line is to be established between Chicago and Louisville. The’Monon is now the only road having a dining-car servico letwoen Chicago and Cincinnati, and the 8 srvice is to be extended to tbe Louisville line. In short, the M. nun is to be made part of one of the best equipped and biggest systems that have a te. mi nal In Chicago.

The Superstitions Esquimaux.

All Esquimaux are superstitious about death, and, although they hold festivities in memory of departed friends, they will usually carry a dying person, to some abandoned hut, there to drag out his remaining days without food, medicine, water or attendance. After the death of a husband or a wife, the survivor cuts the front hair short and fasts for twentyfive days. On an average “the letters received for the Emperor of Germany number 600 a day.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOB OUR RURAL READERS. Importance or Stirring; the Ground—Concerning; farm Labor—Value or Salt and Ashes lor flgs-lhe Dairy at the World's Fair—Household and Kltcheu. Keep the Ground Stirred.

EVERY farmer understands the value of a frequent stirring of S. the soil in the corn field. The \ value of this \ \ practice, however, is greatly I increased in sea- ||. / sons of drought. Jsr r^’tie reasons is that the top of the soil by frequent stirring is made to act the » part of a sponge, and arrests the ~ moisture that is

poured into the air above. Says am agricultural exchange: We once made the following experiment, to obtain an approximate idea of the amount of moisture thus drawn off, and the hindering effect on evaporation through'constant stirring of the surface soil. During .a prolonged drought a place in a well traveled highway was selected, where the fine dust was several inches deep. A large hell glass (a two-quart Mason fruit jar will answer the same purpose) was well chilled by contact with ice, wiped perfectly dry and placed mouth down on the dust and covered with several thicknesses of white cotton cloth. After a period of five minutes the cloth was removed and it was found that sufficient moisture had arisen from the dust, and condensed on the cold glass, to run down its sides and form a wet ring in the dust, quite plainly discernible. On the side of the road was a field of corn which the owner had not cultivated for more than a week. The dry weather had formed a multitude of fine cracks in the soil, out of which moisture was passing at a rapid rate. To determine the difference in evaporation of the unstirred ground in the cornfield and the frequently stirred dust in the road was a fact that would he valuable to know. Accordingly we again chilled the glass and placed it in the cornfield in the same manner and for a like period of time as in the road dust. The result showed to our satisfaction that the moisture was pouring out of the cornfield at least three times faster than in the road. Had the owner of the cornfield kept the ground stirred lightly on top every two or three days he would have arrested this wasting moisture and thereby watered his corn very effectively, besides destroying the noxious weeds. It was worth to us all the time and trouble taken in the experiment to know this principle and learn how thereafter to turn it to valuable account in the cultivation of corn and other crops.

An immovable Grindstone. Who has not been annoyed when grinding by the wobblingof the grind-: stone on Its frame, especially when the treadle was in use? I have never

stone bushings secured in place on top of them. Another advantage offered by this frame is that it does not interfere with the grinder or his tools. It, should be well braced, if the ground be soft, by placing stones or blocks of wood against the posts at the top and bottom of the hole underground. If a third post is set facing the grindstone and a bracket or narrow shelf attached to it, the can to supply the stone with water may drip from it as shown.

Wages and Treatment or Farm Labor. The laborer has always resisted the Introduction of labor-saving machines at the outset, sometimes to the destruction of the offending innovations, fearing that the demand for his service may decline and wages fall. It is ever a futile opposition and a foolish fear, as the result is always an increase of demand and production, the elevation of labor and Increase of wages. Fifty years ago the wages of farm hands employed by the year ranged from $8 to $lO per month, rarely 912 in regions of unusual demand. The range for labor is now from S2O to S3O per month, in extreme cases somewhat higher. Last year, in the midst of depression, the average wages of New England was $26.64 per month, of tne Middle States, $23.62, of the Western States, $22. It has been very steady for years It was lowest in 1879, when all prices were very low. The labor of colored men has also advanced as it has become more intelligent. The farm labor of the Southern States averaged $14.77 last year. It is a common complaint of farmers that labor is too h*h. As the burden of rural drudgery is relieved, the proprietor is inclined to take things easier, as he should do, if he can afford it. giving himself more time for reading, study, management, and social duties and privileges. And the laborer is also worthy of his hire—American Agriculturist.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Salt and Aube* for Pits. Animals that are confined in close quarters and fed on concentrated food always require certain mineral elements which nature supplies to them in the fields and woods. The need which pigs have for salt ‘and ashes is well known but it is not so generally

practiced and lived up to. When the pigs are roaming about the fields and woods they do not need the ashes, but when in their winter quarters and fed concentrated food a weekly supply of wood ashes will be of inestimable value to them. We have not vet found out exactly what element in the ashes they desire, whether it is the charcoal, lime or potash, but it is certain that the ashes themselves are very beneficial. One of the benefits of feeding them ashes is a better appetite for their rations of meal and fodder. They eat more and steadier, and their food is better digested and assimilated. Experiments at the station with a great number of pigs have proven this fact beyond dispute. Salt does not entirely take the place of ashes, for where food, mater aad salt were given in abundance, and the ashes omitted, the pigs did not take on as healthy a growth. Where both were omitted the animals became sickly, and seemed to want something which the food and water could not supply. Corn is a very rich food, and it goes to meat and muscle in a way that no other food does when fed to pigs, but its very richness often clogs the system and prevents the best results. The stomachs of the animals can not digest and assimilate it. The same is true of all the other highly concentrated foods. They generally clog the appetite and prevent the highest results. Ashes and salt come in as splendid articles to prevent such disastrous result. They act as tonics and medicine, clearing the system of effete matter, and giving strength and tone to all of the internal organs. It is probably In this way that ashes help the pigs. They set directly upon the digestive organs, but really add nothing to the body. If corn is making the pigs puffed up, and their appetite is poor, a liberal supply of salt and ashes should he given at once. Hard wood ashes of the best quality should be used for this purpose, as they seem to give the best results. The ashes and salt should lie administered in equal quantities, cither with the food or kept in a seperate vessel In the pen for the pigs to take when they felt inclined.

Tho Dairy at Him World’s Fair. Rules to govern (the 'Conduction of dairy tests of breeds at theCoiuuibian Dairy School have been submitted by the sub-committee of tbe Executive, Committee &t the Columbian As-' soevation. There will be two breed tests, one for four months, one month of which is to be devoted to choesemaking; the other for seven months, thirty days and six days and under the same committee as the other. Each cattle association competing shall furnish twenty-five registered cows of their breed, except the Red Polled and Hrown Swiss associations, which may compete with an entry of fifteen cows each. An accurate account will be kept of all food given their'Cows for thirty days before and 'during the test, and all ikindS'Of dairy products so made in the test and charged to the cow so fed at the market value. Owners will be at liberty to feed as they choose, provided ordinary foods are fed to the cattle. Great care will be taken to guard against fraud in every way and the cows will be closely watched as well, also their products, to see that they are exactly as stated. Awards will be made for increase of flesh, the .amount of butter or cheese made by individual cows and for the best dairy and also herd of five cows.

'Note*. 'Give animals daily access to water. Provide good winter shelter for all <dasses<of domestic :ani mals. The quality of the food has much to do withrthe'quality of milk. OsLaccount of maintaining animal heat a more fattening ration should ■be given during the winter than in the summer even with growing pigs. Be 'Careful'Of the .eyes of animals. They are just as delicate as the eyes of human heings. People often work around stcok very carelessly with forks. Blankettnga horse -in the stable makes his coat short and sleek. This makes him look more valuable, and it is easier to keep him .clean than a long-haired horse. The swine breeder who feeds oil meal occasionally, will not regret it. It is atonic and a regulator of the bowels. Care should be taken not to feed too much. Many a fanner never takes the trouble to examine the foot of the horse. The foot is a delicate mechanism that ought >to receive .constant watchfulness. Slush will increase the flow of milk but will not help the quality; and too much slush is in the direction of causing indigestion and is a onesided food. Calves need the best attention,* especially in winter. The growth they have attained during the summer must not be allowed to stop, nor must they be permitted to become poor now.

Those who have tested it claim that sweat spirits of niter is the most valuable preventive of milk fever that is known. Give two ounces immediately after calving, and repeat the dose in two or three hours. A correspondent asks if there is a breed of cows that are especially Cheese cows? Any cow that gives plenty of good milk is a good cheese cow. The Holstein-Friesian has been supposed, however, to have special merit as a cheese cow. The hog is unquestionably proof against diseases to a greater extent than any other living creature. If anything else that breathes were kept in such filthy quarters and fed on such rotten and bad food as thousands of swine are there would be an epidemic.

Fariticailon. A time and labor saving way to purify the poultry-house is pacticed and praised by a writer in the Germantown Telegraph: I attach my spraying pump to a kerosene barrel, and shoot water into every part of the house—cracks, corners, roof and all—and then sweep it, after which I fill the barrel half full of lime-water and spray the inside of the house with It. I think it much better than whitewashing, and more quickly and

easily done. The lime gets into spots not possible to reach with a brush, and leaves the inside of the house in good shape. lllr* Fwioss to Vania The wire fence does not keep the winds out of the yards. When such a fence is made, the lower part should be of boards, and they should be put together so as to be close. A fence seven feet high, composed of three feet of boards and four feet ot wire, should be high enough to keep nearly all breeds of hens within bounds, and the boards will make the yards much warmer and more comfortable than when wire only Is used. It is an advantage for the -hens to be outside sometimes, for they will not be content to remain in on clear days; but to send them outside on a cold, windy day, with the yards enclosed only with wire, is to expose them to a very severe test. A yard should have wind-breaks of some kind if the hens arc to occupy them, and this can ne accomplished in several, ways; one by having boards at the bottom, and another by arranging corn stalks on the north and west sldee of the fence. Anything that will break the force of the wind will be found beneficial.—Farm and Fireside.

Point* on Poultry. Tame hens, like other tame and gentle stock, have the advantage of using all their food for business. Fright wastes food in the bird as in the cow, and also frequently causes broken eggs, broken windows in the hennery, and other losses. Corn is too fattening for fowls as a steady diet in mild weather, but for supper in cold weather nothing is better than a full crop of it heated slightly before it is fed. Apples decaying in tho cellar, and there are plenty of them this winter, will be used economically by the poultry. Ducks and geese have been wintered on them almost exclusively. A dish of dry bran,|standing constantly in the fowl house, will do the birds good, both in the exercise they will get picking the fine stuff, and in making them drink more. It will not fatten them, while they will improve upon it. The incubator has taken the place of the hen on many farms the past season, resulting in many cases in a larger percentage of healthy, vigorous chicks. It is the coming way of hatching.

HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN.

Old-Fashioned Homed let. For sore and inflamed eyes use burnt alum. Place the alum on a hot iron till it stops bubbling; then dissolve it in cold water. It will smart but it will do good. For dysentery or diarrhea, a strong decoction of white oak bark tea is good, a tablespoonful at a time. Two or three doses are usually sufficient. For erysipelas and salt rheum use the oil of tansy. One application cured erysipelas of twelve months’ standing and salt rheum after the doctor had given it ud. Ten or twelve drops of kerosene oil on sugar, taken on going to bed, will break up a severe cold. It is very healing.

Negroes are sometimes very careful not to say anything to injure the reputation of a neighbor. A gentleman stopped at a cabin where an old negro woman lived, and while waiting for one of the children to get a bucket of fresh water entered into conversation with her concerning the crop prospects. “I did habio’ or five fine hogs',” said the old woman, “but da’s dwindled down till I ain’t got but one now.” “Somebody steal them ?” .“I neber balks ’bout my neighbors, an’ I doan like ter say wliat become of de hogs. I neber make mischief, I doesn’t.” “Did the hogs die ?” “Da muster died; but yer ain’t agwine ter git me ter say nuthin’ agin my neighbors. De man what libed up dar is dead now, and I ain’t agwine ter say nuthin’ agin him. De hogs disappeared away from heah while dat qian was libin’; but I ain’t agwine ter say nuthin’ agin him.” “Do yon think that he took them?” “Mister, dat man’s dead, and I doan wanter say nuthin’ agin’ him; but, lemme toll yer, while dat man was libin’ he was a powerful stumblin’ block ter hogs, "—JLrhansaw Traveler.

Out Spelling.

Advocates of the phonetic system of spoiling are again active, and the following is the latest evidence of their attempts at reform: English spelling Is the worst Jn the world. Millions of dollars are wasted eaoh year In the writing and printing of useless letters. The education of our children is retarded and the progress of our people is hampered by our cumbrous, illogical, misleading orthografy. The scholarship of the world is almost a unit in demanding a chang). The American Philological Association has recommended the following rules for new spelling, and a resolution has been Introduced in Congress instructing the Public Printer to use them in all printing for the Government: 1. Drop ue at the end of words like dialogue, catalogue, etc., where the preceding vowel is short. Thus spell demagog, epilog, synagog, etc. 2. Drop final e in such words as definite, infinite, favorite, etc., whore the preceding vowel is short. Thus spell opposlt, preterit, hypojrit, rcquisit, etc. 3. Drop final te in words like quartette, coquette, olgarette, etc. Thua spell oigaret, roset, epaulet, vedet, gazot, etc. 4. Drop final me in words like programme. Thus spell program, orlllam, gram, etc. 5. Change ph to f In words like phantom, telegraph, phase, etc. Thus spell alfabet, paragraf, fllosc.fy, fonetio, fotograf, c;c. 6. Substitute e for the diftliongs n? and (B whon they havo the sound of that letter.

It has been claimed that the Beads taken from aTicient Egyptian tombs aro capable of growth, but proof of the claim is lacking. It has been demonstrated, however, that seeds of a very great age are capable of development.
