Looking at the matter from it financial ntandpoiut, the successful farmer is Ono who has aectnutlatod enough of this world's goods to live not luxuriously, but comfort. ably. In order to do thls, he must obtain all necessary implements whereby farm and household lobo' may be lightened to the utmost. The world moves and the success- ful farmer with B. He mast oleo bo able to give his children every advantage for obtaining a liberal edu. nation, "The greatest need of farmers at the present tine is a thorough education," and the uneducated man will soon find that as far as eueeess ie counorned, "none other's need apply." But while the farmer is pro• vidingfor the needs of .his family, ehall he overlook his own neoessities in this nue? No, his table should be supplied with the best that the bines afford in newspapers .and magazines. His library should be fur. nished with books upon every topic, the consideration of which could possibly leo turned to profit. Perhaps some would look upon these as luxuries. I say they are ne- cessities, Were I obliged to make a choice between the two,' I should prefer to live upon the plainest food, providing it was wholesome, rather than give up my books and Papers. Tho farmer and the farmer's family need to cultivate the testhetio side of their na- tures, This world would be a dreary Place, indeed, with all the beauty left out. What wonder then, that he who sees no morning splendor or sunset radiance carries ever about with him a gloomy visage? It is the farmer's bounden duty to studnature's lesson•book, "I have no time," says one. But the successful farmer will find time. He will do it while the ausunoossful farmer Ls smoking his pipe. Nature will whisper her secrets to him while he plows his field and gathers his grain. Ris mind is ever busy With her problems and ho finds more pleasure therein than his unwise brother farmer finds in the rude jokea cracked at the country grocery. This is something whioh the successful farmer takes along with him from the beginning of his career to its close, something which although of real money value, is not dependent upon money for enjoyment. Allowing that a oertain amount of eapi• tel is necessary to the farmer, that he may be relieved from the harassing worry of restriction, the next question to consider is, how is ho to obtain it? There are man} avenues leading to suetcess, and in the words of a late essayist, "The fault with too many writers is that they forget there tire so many varied surrounding of climate, that a rale for one place Is no guide for another. In very many cases the rule for one farm is not the rule for an adjoining farm; and the adaptability of people t just as vitried, One man cannot work in the groove of another." But perhaps it is safe to lay down one general rule. Begin at the foot of the ladder, but do not be con- tent to stay there. It is perhaps an axiom as true as trete, that " there is roost at the top." Perhaps the greatest hioderanoe that the average farmer meets is want of method. It is more destructive than flood or fire. The old saying is " he good and you will bo happy," but I say, be methodioal and you will be successful. From Manuring to Mewing, 1'. A. Putnam writes ae follows to the New England Farmer i-1 have often con. gratulated myself that I went from the shop to the farm, as by so doing I was free from all anbequated practices and super• stitions, leaving me free to start on a level with the times instead of deep in the ruts of old methods. I have alwaye believed that the hay crop was worthy of better treatment than that generally given it by farmers. Ottr grange ritual says, "Grass is the basis of agriculture, from its lofty growths in the tropics, to the tiniest spears in Arc. do regions ; itis the most widely diffused, the most useful, and the most valuable erre duction of the vegetable kingdom ; without it the higher orders of animals, including eau, could not exist, and the earth would be an arid, barren waste." It is asking a good dual of nature, or trusting too much to look, to sow small and delicate grass seed along with a rank growing spring grain Drop like oats and ex- pect the geese to take root, thrive and pro- duce several paying crops of hay and what available plant foot) is left after the grain Crop is off: In my early farm experience Isoon found this Tab out and gave up sending with spring grain crops, as if 1 manured the oats enough to insure a liberal supply of plant food for tho young grass plants, it would be too rich for the oats, causing them to lodge and smother the young grass: An- other objection to seeding with spring grain, I found was blur it gave weeds an equal or even better ohanoe than the grass to get a good foothold. Especially is this the ease with the perennial red sorrel. 1 Anally adopted the practice of seeding in the summer and fall -usually with some foster orop like atrep•leaved turnips or bar. ley thinly sown[, both of which furnish partial shade to the young grass plants, as well as gathering up the surplus plant food that beoontes rapidly available at this time of the year and might otherwise be washed down and out of the soil before the young grass mote were strong enough to gather it up. Having secured a good staud of grass the )text thing is to peep it in a etrong and vigorone condition, so as to insure two or more gond crops in a season. Next to pleuby of plant food, I think, in importance as early nutting as a nears of maintaining e Vigorous condition of the grass plants so as to insure future good crops. The fest mise cion of all animal and plant life is to produce seed and thus perpetrate the species. Tho annual plant as soon as once establ eked its the soil as an independent plant devotes all its energies to perpetuating its growth with the ultimate and in view of praduoing a crop of sped for a sutoeedin.. generation ; having produced the seed it dies. The Ili• onttia requires the first season to perfoetits growth and tiro second to produce a crop of seed and then dies, while the perennials, like timothy and red top, will, if allowed, live and prodttoe a orop of seeds for several years lint require a long rest to rec0porato after each succeeding Drop of seed is inatur- ed. Now if by early (rutting ,just as the majority of the grass plants have comp into bloom we ean'prevent the caseating pro.

In case they heat too much the cock tan be reversed by putting the tops at the bottom during a lull be- tween showers., When fair weather conee again a little sunshine will fit it for cart. iug. For hay oaps I use two bran Backs eotvn together at the sides, These aro heavy enough to prevent blowing off wallas the wind blows hard enough to blow the nock over and if the top of the cock is well rounded up•they will turn off a steady down -pour for a week at a time. Two cot- touseod meal or fertilizer bags will stake a good. cap but nob quite as large as the bran sacks. I usually have a supply of both and use the latter on the smaller cocks and the ethers on the largest cocks. The second crop or rowan I always euro in the cook after getting it sufficiently wilted to not heat too much ; also all hay that has much clover in it, as, if cured in the sun, the Leaves will beocme dry and brittle and will be lost. It seems as if in resent years injurious insects have been more numerous and de- structivo than formerly, and I think are likely to bo more so in the future, Ono cause that has led to this result to the de- atruotion of tltolsands'Of insect eating birds and animals and the spread of insects from hitherto restricted localities. Some of the birds and animals that grass farmers should especially protest and en- courage to increase in numbers are the meadow lark, king bird, bobolink, redwing, blank bird and quail, all of the several species of native sparrows, sparrow hawk, whip -poor -will, robins end bluebirds, The crow destroys large numbers of grasshop- pers, crickets and white grubs of the May beetles and probably offsets the damage he does by pulling noon in the spring of the year. The skunk although much despised and always killed by most people when it can be safely done, is one of the most valuable destroyers of grasshoppers and orickete that we have ; besides he often visits rho potato field and feasts on potato bugs. Judging from a close study of the habits of the skunk, I should plane the amount of grass. hoppere, crickets and white -grubs that a pair' and their progeny would destroy in a single season as folly a couple of bushels. So long as Mr. Skunk keeps away from the house, barn and chtekeu coops don't kill or disturb him as he is your friend. The king bird feeds largely on cut worm moths, as does also the whip -poor -will, while most of the others destroy largo g000. titles of grasshoppers and numerous other injurious insects. The meadow -lark and quail are relentlessly hunted by gunners aril I believe the decreasing numbers of the larks is one of the causes of the rapid in- crease of the spittle bug in his vicinity in the past few years, Every farmer should post his land against gunners and then if they trespass go gunning for them. Potato Inseeto and Diseases. The Colorado potato beetle or the potato bug you probably all know. It is not necessary to describe the fellow. If you do nob know him you will before yon har- vest your potatoes for he is sure to appear. If you go out in the spring and look around you will discover him Misting upon the fences, etc„ waiting for you to plant your potatoes, or if you have planted thenuwait- ing for bhem to come up. He has crawled into the ercvioes and cracks, with the agnash bog, the weeps, etre, and they are all ready for business. It is au insect that has brood after brood in the same season. There is in my opinion but one remedy and that sone are afraid of Paris green will do the work effectually. 1 have used it for a number of years, have tried it with plaster, ashes and four, but think water is the best of all. You get rid of the dust of paras green when used in water and you can apply it any time, while on the other )nand penis green mixed with plaster. wants to he applied early in tiro morning when the dew is aft in order to have ft elicit to the plant, and if there is any wind you are liable to inhale Moro or loss of the mixture.

It is said that the American Government intends to despatch to Chinese waters more than one of their most recently built and beet equipped war vessels, although it is carefully expiained that these are only to replane ships which have been stationed at or near ports in China for years, and which now need repair. At the same time the message of a fortnight ago from the Chinese to the American Government leads to tines. trona and speculations as to what might happen in rho event of relations betwe n the two powers becoming further strained than they aro now. That message inform- ed the Govet'nmeut at Washington that if the Geary Act for the exclusion of all un- registered Chinceo from the United States were enforced, Pekin will break off all relations with the American Govern. ment,and will direct all Amer:mane to with. draw from China, The Loudon Economisb thinks that even if things came to that point it would hardly load to war, because the United States could hardly attack or even blockade the treaty porta with- out coming into collision with the Med- time world ; but it might seriously affect the American carrying trade and greatly irritate the pride of Americans throughout Asia. Locked at as a matter of tit for tat, it may be assumed that the Chinese Government has just as much right to say that it will not have Americans within its boundaries as the Government at Washington has to exclude the Chinese laundrymen and labourers. Every coun- try has the right to restrict the ingress of foreign residents, and as countries grow densely populated that right may have to be exercised more and more. If this were not so, and if the right were not exercised when needful, a nation might be entirely swamped by the descent upon it of a host of Men, not with swords in their hands to con- quer, but simply without any knowledge of its laws or any respect for its economic eon. ditions. So long as the ocean was really tc barrier and tho means of communication difficult, countries 021 opposite sides of the globe had little to fear front invasions of this kind. But with speedy ships go. ing to and fro over the waters of tate globe, and railways bringing the far ends of continents together, a new source of difiiaulty has airing up, which in the ooming ceubury may cause friction or even more. We impose a tax on Chinese labor here, and so does Australia, and in Seg. land there is a protest arising against Rus- sian Jews being dumped at British sea ports to an unlimited. extent. Germany is perpetually sending swarms of Polish labor- ers across the frontier with accompanying circumstances that seem rather cruel, Austria has put a decisive end to the fm• portation of pauper Jews from Russia as dangerous, even at times calling in the cavalry to insure that the order is effective. ly earned out. There is a popular feeling in Prance against Italian and Belgian labor, and although the F renolt Govern. cent does not countenance the attempts that are made from time to time to expel the workmen of these oountries, it does not resolutely punish them. China is not aggressive, although it has a well-trained army of more than a million men, and though it could easily raise a )nil. lion more, Though it has a nary of fifty warships, including two or three as big as those that recently mamenvred in New York harbour, and some corvettes and armoured o'uisers that are goitoupto date, it will be a long time probably before the ancient Empire does anything but eudoav• our to protect itself in its oousorvative re. serve. Its population of six times that of the United States will be content to exist as their tethers existed ages ago, and to cherish the belief that ib has nothing to I±ars from the West. Bat it would seem to be a pity that anything should occur that would make the Chinese e0olude Amor- beans from their boundaries. They could probably do it, btttit would put a stop to the labours of a number of devoted mission aries, and to a development of their 0000 - try that uow seems possible, The action of President Cleveland seems to show that he is in favour of a very lenient adminis- tration of restriottve laws ou this side. It is probable, therefore, that for a time, at least, this Chiuotto difficulty will he over- come. Experiments in Telepathy. Experiments in " telepathy" aro in favor for evening entertainments.

After a time the image of the object on the card is "seggestod to the ininrl" and named.

Canada Will Compare 'Favorably With any Crnuttry in This Respect. The trade of a country can generally be measured by its transportation facilities, They are essentially co•relativo and in son• sitivo touoh and responee. Ie the develop• cent of home and international commerce trend of trade has followed the carrier, and the enterprise of the carrier developer) the trade. In some countries inure titan others inventive ingenuity and exeontive skill have increased the efficiency and economic movement of merchandise, and in this int• portant particular secured a oommeroial ad• vantage over active and formidable coin. petitors. In fact transportation rates may be disctsivo factors in commercial success, and its equipment and management oat as- sure a premium or compel a discount. The importance of the carrier cannot be over estimated ; he is the middle mat between the producer and the consumer• We some- times complain of inferior service, and ex. urbitant rates, but all considered, Canada will compare very favorably in this respect with any country, and especially with any European country, It is estimated that on Cantedian lines the average load transported is from five to six times that of the average load in Great Britain, and the average tato there is mush higher than here, in some cases over 300 per oent. The aver age taro weight of the ordinary four wheeled Euglisit railway mineral wagon is about 70 per cent. of its carrying capacity, while that of the Canadiaufreight oar is snore then 11 to 40 per cent. of its carrying capacity. In loading and unload- ing faoihties the methods are less cumber• some in Candy, than in Great Britain, and in other details where the small economies of traffic are operative and influential, we have the advantages whioh totalize in wide dfllerenoe in cost and earnings.

It is Safe and Harmiess as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great, South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. h is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of filing healthfrom whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonle as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken -downy constitution. It is also of Moro real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consunlption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It wilt carry them safely over the clanger, This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inest]hnable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy' each year. • iT ISA GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF Nervonsness, Broken Constitution, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, .

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the bunion family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all, the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to oontain'the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de- rangement. itAwroRDsviLLt., I\n„ Aug, 20, M.
