<scONNDNMeRRCSEA Reh Farmers. Ab! says the reader, they are few and hard to find. And yet we are) prepared to show that agreater num- | ber in proportion are comfortably situate for lite than any other class of industry. But few, if any, are as ex- tremely wealty has some speculating adventurers who ainass irnmense for- tunes. The readers, however, im the rural districts have but a limited thousands who, conception of the having a reasonable competence, if they only knew it, are trying to tollow in tne tootsteps of the for- tunate and utterly fail in dispair from public view. This class of unfortunate cases ate numcrous and widespreading. Their situation is ten times worse than the farmer who fails in his crop but has his tarm left, with hope for the future. But the man with $100,000, who goes into speculation to make his millon, inety-nine cases in one hund.ed in fails,—loosing money, credit, hope and ambition. If he can get a small pittance occasionally to disgraceful- ly drown his sorrow in that possibly worst wav a manecan destroy his manhood, his mtellect or his_ credits it is all ne 2xpects, The thousands ignobly disappear while the fortu- nate hundredth man by a shrewd manipulation of his finances rolls in wealth, and is unwisely worshipped as a demi-god. ; But the tarmer who improves his nind and prepares himself thorough- ly for his business need seldom have disastruus mishaps. . If he acts wisely and prudently at the proper occasion. he has time and money to profitably spend to attend agricultur- al meetings, gatherings ot stock breeders, and the various exhibi tions of implements, machiner, fruits, seeds and stock, where he learns what 1s being done to ad- vance farmers. In this way he is enabled to keep abreast of the times, and is thus enabled to manage ais farm and stock so much mure suc- cessfully as too add thousands vearly to his income. But the pretended tarmer who goes to the faits and ex- hibitions, and spends his time watching the jockey scoundrels im their tricks and schemes in racing, or wasting precious time with the various swindling devices which moral and Christian directcrs have provided to gobble the limited change, and waste vaiuaule time. The case of such farmers is bad enough, but none so hopeless as the reckless speculator. The improv ident use of therr time and means, just at the fountain of valuable in- formation, is nearly fatal to the far— mer. Yet he has a sort of ignorant hope lett, by which he is enabled through life to provide the bare nec- essaries ot living for himse'f and family, while the vast crowd of spec- tators commit suicide by drink. ~ So even the dullest and most stu- pid armer 1s better off than the large mass of: speculators—whether they be poiucans, office-seekers, ,gamblers in stocks or produce, “ merchants, or any other class who attempt to get something for noth- ing. Farmers are the class in the world who should not complain of their lot. But they should be ashamed of themselves tor knowing so little oftheir business, when the world 1s an open book for their in- 8 ruction,— [Iowa State Register. Put This In Your Pipe. An English workingman just past the the middle .age found that his pipe, which tor many years had been a great comfort tohim, was begin- ning to serious!y affect his nerves. Before giving it up, however, he de- termined to find out if there was any- way by which he might continue to smoke without fecling its effect to an snjurious extent. He accordingly Wrote to a medical journal and was recommended to fill the bow! of the Pipe one-third full of table salt’ and Press the tobacco hard down upon at, as in ordinary smoking. The re- sult was very satistactory. During the process of smoking the salt solid- ifies, while remaining porous, and when the hardened lump is removed at the end of the day’s smoking it 1s | found to have absorbed so much of | the oil of tobacco as to be deeply | colored.

The average clip isthree pounds of un- washed wool, which selis at 30 cents per pound, giving a clear profit ot go per cent, en the money invested in sheep. Mr. A. does not teed his sheep at any time, and relies entire- | ly on native sheep. Mr John McDowell, of Washing- ton county, Pennsylvania, keeps 670 highly improved sheep, the keeping of which costs annual’y $1 54 a head He aims to make his wool clip clear which averages four pounds of brook- washed wool to the sheep. His wool crop sold in 1875 for 56 cents a pound, or $2 24 for each sheep sheared, but the crop cost, on ac- count of the severe winter, 15 cents new-comers is €S- toward Mexico from Fulton. During the year 1882, just, an even hundred couples in Bollinger county were granted licenses to mar- ry. The expenditures of St. Charles county tor the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1882, amounted to $44.- 814 83. Missouri farmers are still shipping fat hogs and grieving because they have more corn than sto-k to eat it. Thomas Dell, an old bachelor of St. Charles county, froze to death while under the influence of liquor last week. judge U. H. Owens, of Saling, reports land sales pretty lively in that section ef Audrain at $35 and 40 per acre. According to the Assessor’s fig- ures, there were 10,314 less hogs 1n Bollinger county last year than in the previous year.

Corn buyers are paying torty cents and the corn-shellers at Brunswick, net profits are 46 cents o: the mon- ey investea. The land on which McDowell pastures his sheep is worth $50 per acre, while I am au- thorized to sell land like that owned by Ayres for $1 50 per acre, and the 20,000 acres thus offered are situa- ted in the same part of the State as that which sustains Ayres’ sheep.

They cost him nothing except the shearing, and he claims thev pay him 100 pei cent, on the investment in mutton, lambs and wool. His sheep range on Bermuda grass fields in summer. and the ‘old fields’? in winter. The ‘cane bottoms’? and the cane which fringes with luxuri- ant leatage the streams in Georgia, offer stock cf all descriptions most healthy and nourishing yreen food even inthe depth ot winter. No shelter is required, and no diseases of consequence are reported among the flocks of Georgia.
