When a young woman wears a
very wide velvet ribbon about her
throat or an illusion frill tied wtth
a satire ribbon at the back, and hav
ing pearls dotted on the edge, it
does not mean that she likes it or
that she does sot know that the be-
holder always thinks of sere throat,
but it does moan that she is so
tanned from wearing one of those
summer suits, which open at the
throat, and it is necessary to eon

The farmer, to commence lei

by labor or fertilizing, that may add

rug until such benefits have been
added. I have yet to see when
too much labor has been expended
or too much fertilizer need.
A certain number of animals are,
or should be, kept on the farm.
Much thought and judgment is to
be used to keep such stock in the
best and most thriving condition
without any waste of feed, and to
see that the general wear and tear
of team and tools be replaced with
the least expense. Also that there
is nothing grown which is of no
benefit to the farm or stock, that
the gate may, be closed against all
manner of waste, both large and
small. Waste is the key to men.•
cessfnl farming ; many little wastes,
either in (trope, time or labor, will
make large ones in the course of a
year, as they are all the same as
the waste of dollars and cents,
while saving is often the best road
to successful farming.
Let us look at the farmer who
complains of hard times and says
farming does not pay. Stith a
farmer commences his year with•
out preparation ; hie team and
tools aro out of condition for busi-
ness .;lie thea has to stop for re•
pairs, and in doing so he wastes
both time and labor. As he begins
in the spring, so it will be through
the season ; the time and labor lost
he will try to gain by hasty work-
ing, his field not properly ploughed,
not properly harrowed• and seed
not properly planted. Under such
conditions can.a fair orop be ex-
pected ?
Again, we have some farmers who
say they can make nothing at farm-
ing,for although they are having
fair crops, at the end of the year
they have nothing to show for their
labor. •Of moll farmers I would
ask if they have not, with their
farm, tried some other hobby and
let that waste the proceeds of the
farm 2 Let any farrier try to raise
a trotting horse, or a fancy team of
horses for market, or toy speculat
ing in shipping produce or selling
implements on commission, and at
the end of the year his hobby has
wasted the proceeds of the farm,
and lie ie ready to say "farming
doesn't pay," and he is ready to
quit farming, to give leis whole time
to the hobby. and iu a few years
farm, farming and hobby ars all
gone.

Some vary pertinent remarks have
been made by a correspondent of
the Country Gentleman upon the
lamentation of some men that farm •
ing does not pay. We give some
of them :
There are many farmers of to -day
who are complaining that farming
does not pay, while others are fairly
satisfied with the 1neeme they are
receiving but with it might be more.
There are many farmers who are
like the man who tried to haul
the Ioad of potatoes up hill with no
tail board in the wagon box. If
there were more femme who would
keep the tailboard in the wagon
box,there r would be

hat farming does not pay, and at
lie end of the year have more to
thew for their year's labor.

the shiftless ones who expeoi good
crops from little labor and poor at.
teetion to farm and stook ; and
others who aro trying to make 0110
occupation support two -that is,
trying to make the farm pay, while
they are giving attention to some
other outside bobby. Other com-
plainers aro diose who follow the
same routine of farming as their
fathers and grandfathers before
them ; who do 1106 adopt the im.
proved methods of farming, as they
require more labor and attention.

Ali AWFUL TRAGEDY.
There was a baby on board th
train from Pittsburg to Wheelie
yesterday, Bays the Pittsburg Ohron
icle-Telegraph.
It was a baby with v. big B.
The baby had its mother along.
And its papa.
Likewise its grandfather.
And it needed a few hundred
more relatives.
The baby was very good for nine
miles and a half.
Its papa was so proud of 11. He
awed complacently around the car
as though he would Bay t
"That's my baby ! . Don't you
all envy me 2"
Its mamma shared its papa's
pride.
And its grandpa absorbed what
wan left.
Presently the baby improvied a
drone.
It howled.
Then it yelled.
Then it howled and yelled some
more.
Aud refused to be comforted.
The look of pride Left the face of
the baby's papa.
And of its mamma.
And of its grandpa.
And its grandpa escaped to the
smoking -car.
The baby's papa seized the baby,
declared his intentions of throwing
it off the back platform and upon
the adjaceut landscape, and started
for the rear of the oar.
The baby's mamma evidently
placed no confidence in the threat
of the baby's papa. She leaned
back with a sigh of relief and ate a
banana.
But there was a desperate,
dangerous light iu papa's oyes, as
he picked his way between the jerks
of the car.
He was gone about fide minutes.
Re returned alone. The desperate
light was gond from his eyes and he
looked sheepish.
As soon as the baby's manatee
saw him she detected the baby's
absence.
,She detected the guilty look he
brought back with him.members
And she re d h'
