In thio ago of steamships and olectrieity the world carries but a email surplus, living from hand to mouth, There will bo yearn When this farmers' surplus would bo a blesoing to the hungry man, There is no reason why the farmer should not bo the moat thoughtful and bltrlligont in our land ; he ie surrounded by nature's laws, the fountain of all knowledge, and lute time forreflootion ; should bo the 'leader in all great questions, politioal and oommor- cia), In view of the groat responoibilty resting on the farmer it is time he should think for himself and be the leader for 'hie oountry's pros or'ity and for the welfare of man- kind, Recruiting Meadows. Much hae been said and written at farm- ers' institutes and in the various farm jour nale in regard to the wasteful and ruinous r practice of selling hay from who farm instead of feeding the stook whish aro supposed to return some valuable elements to the soil that the hay crop has taken out, thus keep- ing up the strength of the meadows. Some take the extreme view that the tarmac . should never cell a spear of hay, but keep it all to feed, and in case of an abundance to inorease his stook instead- of depleting his haymow to 050011it his pocketbook. In regard to this ultra view, it ie only necessary to recall that axiom among farm - ore, that it don't pay to buy stock simply to " winter over,' and it will be seen that the most successful stook growers deplete rather than increase their Hooks and herds in the fall, and experience has taught that an animal can not be brought through the winter in good condition on hay alone. Wo are all agreed that to out off of a meadow Eton year to year and put nothing back, will soon wear out the strongest soil, and the ordinary way to remedy this is to break up meadows every third or fourth year, and after putting in some early har- vested orop like oats, "summer fallow" it or sow to wheat, reseeding at the same time. But this is a Toes of time that the farmer who eaters to the market cannot afford, for it takes time and pains and strict honesty to establish a paying market for any prod. not, and having once found a market, the farmer can not keep his customers waiting while he renews his meadows. The present article is intended to show how the farther may raise a heavy hay crop every year, sell all blit enough to winter his team and a cow or two, main• tain the strength of his meadows undimin- fished, and have more clear money each year than the dairy farmer, How may We keep bus strength of our meadows without their taking an tnforeed vacation every third or fourth year? Tho query may be answered in one word—top-dressing. 1t Is obvious that we must supply what the grass has taken from the soil, without (lira turbing the sod, and ib must be an agent that will act quickly, and at the precise time to give the grass a vigorous growth before the dry weather of summer ootnes on. It has been proven by successful ex- periment that a strong phosphate applied liberally over the entire surface of a mea- dow, in early spring while the ground is soft and yet soaked with water, will give the grass an early and vigorous growth that will at once put itbeyondtheroaohofdrouth, supplying more elements of strength than the crop removes, thus constantly rejuvenating the soil. The mode of application is as follows. From an ordinary grain drill, re- move the teeth, leaving the hose, and dis- turbing none of the other mechanism. Regulate the feedsoas to spread about 209 or 400 lbs to the acre, according as your soil is good or poor. It has been found that this treatment will bring up even worn-out meadows to produce two tons per more, of fine heavy hay of uniform qual- ity, and ;he influence of the fertilizer is felt to some extent the following year, though the best results aro obtained only by sum missive applications each spring. A Thirty-six Acre Farm. At the recent agricultural congress "at Chicago, the general chairman of the con - gross, Samuel W. Allerton, spokein part as follows : It is well known that our large cities are burdened to a great extent with an ignorant:and nonproduotivo population, which has neither the opportunity nor the dispobition to learn the duties and enjoy the privileges of,civil and religious liberty. Such is the nature of agricultural pursuits that aportion of the time of every farmer can aonveniently$bo spent in the study of the institutions of his country and of the branches of learning most useful and agree- able to him, The attraction for -farm ',life could be in- creased,particularly fn the winter months, if farmers would realize that men and women wore created social beings, each given a desire for seetal improvement and for gain. Boys and girls should own something in the start, it may be small, but it should be their own, the desire for gate would sot them thinking of how to gain more knowledge and capital ; both are essential in life. If the farther would give his children something which would be their own, something to oncourago them to work. If 110 would assist them !in arranging some pleasant recreation, some social entertain- ment where the boys and girls are brought together on mutual grounds, where they could become acquainted with ono another and learn to entertain each other 'its some mutual work ; establish libraries for study, singing schools, debating societies, dancing schools, to give the young people ease and oonfidence—for ;confidence in ourselves is necessary for success in any occupation ; there is no reason why the farmer's son and daughter should not be as easy and polite in their manners as the best in the land. START TUE 010101REN :,00100. We all know that the success of any boy depends almost entirely on starting him right ; then lie will succeed and gain a com- petency. The farmer has the best oppor- tunity, He can give his children some• thing to start them right, and he should be the leader in this work, for this is the foundation of all reforms. The farmer has many thanks to give the inventor and the mechanical genius, for they have lifted a heavy burden of labor irons his shoulders. Many thanks are clue to the merchant, who has bought his products and exchanged them for goods and products he could not produce. Prosperity and progress in this country is diversity of labor, and all are entitled to a fair compensation. • The farmer holds a very responsible position, for he must feed the world ; the is blessed, however, by holding the most independent position among the occupations of mankind. Take this great city with its 1,500,000 of people : take 500,000 out how does the other 1,002,000 live compared with a farmer ? Any intelligent man would rather have thirty acres of land in the °enncry for a home than to be the best mechanic in Ohioago, who gets $4 per day. HOW TO LR'R ON THIRTY AMIN8. You may ask how would a man live on 30 acres of loud ? Two acres for barn, house and garden ; 25 sores to cultivate ; raise 14 aures of corn, seven soros of clover, two acres of rye, three aoree of oats, two pores of drilled corn. Keep seven cows by soiling them ; raise to sell 50 hog sows bred to come in February ; a warm place to keep hie pigs ; put a movable fence around his glover field, say four acres, to pasture his hogs in ab summer time, three acres of olovor to mow to soil his cows ; plant his corn in a furrow, one spear in a place ;..cultivate on a flat surface ; he would raise 100 bush. els per acre. This manner of farming re- turns all back to the soil and would in- crease its fertility. The gross sales would bo : Fifty hogs, $500 ; butter, $300 ; garden, n, $ 100 ; all l li s expenses should noexceed $400, leaving the nota trees Set 500: $ � round the outside of his farm, apples, cherries and other fruits natural to his soil ; this would beautify his home ; he would be a king in Independence compared with a mechando. This is the system wo have adopted in Illinois : Divide the farm into five equal fields, Noe. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. First year, No. 1, corn ; 2, corn ; 3, grass ; 4, grass ; 5, wheat and oats. Second year, No. 1, wheat ; 2, corn ; 3, corn ; 4, grass ; 5, grans, Continue in this rotation. CONSUMPTION Is INORICASINO. We have raised large crops, yet oon• sumption has kept up with the groat pro. duction, Our ricin lands have been reduced fully ono third for produoing the cereals.; consumers are growing g as fast as ever ; all' our good lands aro ()envied. ied. We musin. creasoar, production or the consumers of . the world will be in want of food. flow can it be iucroased ? Only by a bettor system of cultivation that will increase the fertility of the soil. Farmers should have an intelligent organ. imam, not to interfere with other men's rights, but to promote a bettor system of farming, to develop home industry, to snake farm life more attractive by social entertain- ments, to encourage tree planting, to beautify the country, to dismiss all great questions pertaining to the welfare of all, to know who condition of the crops of the country and of the world, so that the Praotioal Pointers. When you put cattle up to fatten, bo sure and have theta where they will be quiet. They will eat better and gain flesh more rapidly. Every well regulated farm should carry a few sheep. But do not make the mistake of over•stooking with them, Large stocks never pay so well in proportion as do small- er ones. Bed the cattle comfortably this winter. Straw does not cost much, and if you can - mot use it all up for feeding you can make it save other fend by using it to keep the stook warm and comfortable. The brood mare and a consequent colt each year is also one of the items of live stock that should not be overlooked. A colt grows rapidly into money. While you are raising ib, raise a good one. Unless you are making a specialty of some one thing, as a commercial breeder, it will be wise to diversify your stook just as you do your crops. Do not get it into your head that you can only grow one thing at 5time. The live stook is not much given to lying abed late in the morning, This you eau easily determine by visiting the barn about daylight. Now, in the cold winter morn- ings do not let them stand for an hour or two impatiently waiting for their breakfast. Feed them betimes, so that they can go right on with their business of laying on flesh. It is doubtless better to turn the cattle into the stalk fields and let them get what they can of the fodder, than to have it go to wholly y waste, But it is not good farm- t in. to harvest so valuable e a crop in suoh a slip shod manner. We are glad to see that the waste of corn fodder is becoming less each year, but there is still snore chance for improvement. Ib is impossible in the growing of live stook to formulate any set of rules that will surely pave the way to success. Much depends on the man --more perhaps than on any other factor. But there are some things, that with the right man, go a long way to ensure 5U00005. One of these things is the furnishing of every head of young stook with a good sire. There is ono fine thing abort growing stook—ifro e'l. handled y ole have some. thing alt the time that isturning into money. With cultivated crops as your sole dependence, there is a season when everything stende still. In the winter ib is a fine thing to go out to the barn and watoh the (tattle contentedly feeding, and know that they are making money for you, even if the earth is asleep under its white blanket. Instead of sending your wheat to market at the present low prices, try feeding some of it to stool[, especially to the growing pigs and shoats, Soak it thoroughly before feeding, Keep an exact :cooed of the gain made from such feeding, and compare it. with the gain made on corn, andou will have a' guide for future use, Possibly there may be other years when wheat will be so low you will want to feed it, I.Fpwever important it, may seen to you to got 'urge money crops from your farm for the prosett, you cannot afford to follow any system which has not dim regard for the future of your land, Agrionituro is a matter of further concern than this year or nrxf, and any ono wile 101000 a short -sight. od view of It will do 00 to his future sorrow. When planning for any crop, ask yourself what its oll'eet on the land will be, and whether, from that point of view, you can aliord to grow 11, There are two aides to this matter of abundant Drops and low prices. Let us look at the workingman's side fora moment, At the present relative price of wheat and labor, Ove days' labor in the harvest Held at wheat stacking, or eight days at any labor, will provide broad for a fancily of five for a year, Live and let live is a grand motto, and it should be a source of satisfaction to the American farmer that he is able to make the oonrllbions of life so easy for the vast army of workingmen who aro engaged in other industries. The best possible oon- dition of agriculture would be that in which the farmer gets a fair return for his labor, yet with such abundant harvest and suoh low prices that every honeet and industrious workingman could be well and abundantly fed with the best products of the soil. When the prices for food staples are up some one has to suffer. The prejudice of farmers' boys against farm life will be found to exist almost wholly upon ouch farms as are given up to a steady round of work, with no attempt on the part of the parents to afford opportunities for pleasure or reoreation to their children. In the same circumstances boys would take just as violent a dislike to any otheroccupa- tion. If you want the boys to stay by you, show them that the farm is as pleasant a place as can be found. It does not reqquire much effort to do this—mainly a considera- tion of the fact that the boy cannot look upon svork quite from a man's point of view, Lost River. "A mile further 1 Only a mile further to water !" the guide had called out over and over again that afternoon as we rode over who plains on which the August sun beat down till every breath seemed to burn the lungs. Of the thirty troopers, five were lashedto their saddles and little better than dead. Of the thirty horses, seven had dropped in their tracks since 10 o'olook and been left behind. Of the seven dismounted troopers, onl two were with It 1 t he column. The others es hadlingered along until left far behind. No water for man or beast for thirty hours, and we were pushing ahead for Lost River. There was a selfish spirit in the looks and actions of every man. When thelast horse dropped down, every mac hurried on for fear he would be asked to add some burden. Now and then a man stood up in his stir- rups to look ahead. You could read his thoughts in bis crafty looks. If he dis- covered signs of water tie was going to put spurs to his jaded horse and be the first to taste the precious fluid. Some looked back over our trail to son if the dismounted men were coming up, not because they were a anxious for their safety, but because we might find only a little water, and it would have to bo doled out, The sergeant on my right had extracted a bullet from its shell and was holding it in his month and mumbling about lakes and rivers and springs. The man on my left was sucking at his dry and fevered fingers, and cursing himself because he diel not drink more before we left the fort. Had one man in that detachment come upon a spring flowing a barrel of water to waste for every second of time, he would have defended it with his life against the thirst of his comrades. As the column toiled along, lurching and stumbling like au ani- mal seeking a covert in which to die, men cursed each other without the slightest provocation and refused their sympathy for:those still more distressed. Corporal Johnston whispered to me that if his Horse gave out he would stay beside him and drink his blood, but before I load answered a word he struck at me and hoarsely shout- ed: "No ! No II tell you no I You shall not have one single drop 1 If you try to steal any I will kill you !" "Tete river I The river ! It is right ahead, and we are saved 1" A thin friuge of grassand bushes which seemed, dead for years extended east and west across our course and eau back to the mountains, twenty miles away. There was the bed of Lost Rivet•. Men screamed out instead of cheering as they urged their horses forward towards the blessed water which was to queuch their thirst. We looked down from the bank ou a winding channel of yellow dirt, so dry that the puffs of wind raised little olouds of dirt here and there. Not a drop of water had run down that channel for weeks. Despair fell upon the men—silent, hopeless despair -and its effect was curious. No one nursed or muttered. On the far bank wero a few stunted cottonwoods struggling for life and furnishing seemly any shade. One by one we followed the officer across and pulled the saddles from our horses and turn- ed them loose. We had meat and bread, but no fires were kindled. IV hen a man's throat aohos and throbs,and his tongue fills his mouth, and his lips are like paper he cannot eat. The officer issued no orders, the men had no word for each other. Eaoh one threw hitnsolf down with the feeling that the end had come. There were oceans of water forty miles to the south, bub neither horse nor man could travel another mile. 7 BRIEF AND INTERESTINGTHE ._._._ _.....__ ' t. ``�Ip But/TA '+ . ,.a •1'r 011,14 White is the mourning color in Chfua, Japan, and Siam.

Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human 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 contain 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.
