Jitot as in a moral sense "a changt of heart" is necessary toreformamarTi character, so it is in regard to a man't conduct of his farm the farmer mu;t be reformi-d before the farm can bc im proved. It is useless to talk of bciutj of form or color to a blind maa or tc preach of cleaa'.ircss t- a maa who it instinctively and practically unclean, ot ofncatness and order to a careless man, or'of regularity and promptness to one whj is constitutionally averse to exer tion cither of body or mind. 1 hero an men who aro utterly incapable of tht .sense of gratitude, who are meanly dis honest who are so incapable of a sense of shame as to steal the products of z man's work, whether it be of his handt ,or brain, so long as they are in no feat of punishment and what can changt these vicious habits excepting a total rearrangement of the man's moral na ture? It is precisely the same in rcgarc to a man's work on the farm. What startling contrasts may be found ir near neighbors! Here, for instance, w see a lanucr surrounded bv every evi deuce of thrift with the best kind o stock, the most improved implements, neat farm building, substantial fences, all tho labor-saving conveniences ic barns, stables and household; flowen and shrubs adorn and make attractive the homestead; tho fields are in grod order: the crops are forward and pro lific aad, withal, the farmer has plentj pf leisure and is able to devote it U makiag himself and his familv com 'on able and happy, and to securing every enjoyment in life. .across tnc lane one may see an in stance of the very opposite "of all this, and a weary farmer straggling with hit work, which enfolds and irrins him in a dose and crushing embrace like that of the serpent coiled about Laocoon and his sons, as told in the old fable. H( is a slave, driven by his work, which goes all amis?, because it is his master? and when a man is mastered by his work ho has a hard, rclcntlcs task master and a cruel tyrant over him. Such cases are to bc" seen on every hand aad by every one who uses his eyes. What are the reasons? Thcv are not in the farm naturally. Indeed", at times we may see naturally rich land wita a very poor owner, and a poor farm naturallv with a rich own er. Just as wc see tho stony mountain larms ot some countries oc cupied by thrifty, happy farmers, cn- ju)ju auuiiuaacc oi goou tuings oc cause they arn industr.ous. and the richest, sunniest plains, where everv prospect pleases and only maa is vile,1 occupied by the most wretched oh hu maa beings, who seem to enjoy their misery so long as tlicv can lie in tho sunshine and no one 'shade it from them. It is in the maa and not the place every time. Sow, thcfirst thing necessary to a reformation is to know" that such a pro cess is indispensable. Sonie reader may feel hurt that we seem to intimate that his misfortunes are due to his own fault. But we beg him to believe that this is precisely the truth of the case. What such a man calls bad luck, that follow him un so closclv and rtcstcrs him every day, is simply the result of his own incfticicncr or carelessness or dilatory and a glcctful habits. We hr.ve to plead guilty of sach mistakes at times, and we have suffered from them, but hare learned wisdom from them and hojic to havo reformed. Bat it has taken many vrar. and there are very few farmers who can learn all tho lessons that are required for their thor ough schooling and to enable them to graduate in this school of experience in less than a score of years. The sooner one begins to learn, however, and tho more apt he is to learn, the sooner he will reach the desired end. A few rules of conduct thoughtfully made and consistently kept will do wonders in this reformation.

Charcoal has recently becH ftfeow mended as aa addition to the food of aai mals, as it increases their power of ac cumulating fat, aad promotes the rapid aad healthy production of flesh. This was recently proved by taking the live weights of two lots of sheep, and simply separating them by aa ordinary act; the artificial food, corn and cake, being carefully weighed out to each lot al'ke daily, one pint of charcoal being added to one lot only. When re-weighed, prior to selling to" tha butcher, the increase in weight was in favor of charcoal by 16.25 per cent Sanitatioa cause? easy and complete digestion; and assimila tion only can account for theso results, which charcoal alone can accomplish. The charcoal should be given mixed with the food, excent in urrent cases. when it may be mixed in water or thin gruel, and gi yen as a drench. The dose is one pint to every tnenty-flvo head af sheep or Iambs, one-quarter pint ptr ncau. ior iun-grown cattle, norses of pigs, half the quantity for young cattle, and two teaspoonfuis to one dessert spoonful for young calves, daily, when suffering from disease, or in ill condi tion. To keep in" good health, and fortify against diseases, the dose should berfven two or three times tier week. according to the class of food they are having, and the state of the atmosphere The best plan is to wet a quantity of bran, pollard (malt-combings); mix tho charcoal among it and then among the food you give them. For rapid and healthy fattening of cattle, it should be used daily- among their food. Charcoal for internal and medicinal purposes must be pure vegetable char coal, free from all irritating and injuri ous foreign matter. The charcoal when coming into the user's possession must be kept perfectly dry, aad free from any ill-sraclling surroundings, such as the vapors of a stable or artificial ma nures, etc, or it will absorb them, aad thus become septic and of no medicinal value It b better kept ia a closed bin or tia canister with a tight cover.

The officers on duty made their usual inspection, saw each man in hb cell and so reported. After the inspection had been made the co ivict in question opened bis cell door, closed it again and passed quickly out of a side door into the yard. " In a moment he had gained the shop where he worked.

He was now ready to bill adieu to the orison. Hb movements were in no way slow, for he knew that at any moment hb absence might bc noticed and the officers be upon hb track. Leaping from the wall the convict was soon in tho street and off "for parts unknown."

Haw General Scott' Ufa Wat Srt4 V?d How Hi Drlrer Twice KcipJ Death, Tha traveler of tha present day as ha I hurried along by the lightning eXpreti, ia Its bullet cars and palaca sleepers, teldtrw referte In thought to the Urns whea tha stsga ctfaeh arid packet were the only means ot commtnlication between distant points. It is rare that one of the raal old tlma stage drivers Is mt with now-a-days and when the writer recently ran across Fayette Haskell, of Lockport I. Y., ha I-H 11-e a bibliocrapherover the discovery of soma rare volume of "forjotten lore." Mr. Haskell, although ona of the pionoers in stage driving (b formerly ran from Lewiitoa to Niagara Fall and Buffalo) is hale and hearty and bid fair to live for manv thit. Tha stratum stories of bis early adventures would fill a vctsme. At ona time when gobig down a niCQBtain near Lewiston with no less a perkon5$a than General Scott as a passenger, t brakes gvo way and the roach came oa the heels of tha wheel horse. The only remedy was to whip the leaders to a gal lop. Uainln; additi nil momentum with each revolution of the wheels the coach swayed and pitched down the mountain side and into tha streets of Lewlston. Straight ahead at the foot of tha steep hill flowed tha Niagara Kiver, towards which tha four horses dashed, apparently to cer tain death. Yet the arm hand never re laxed Its hold nor tha clear brain its con ception of what mut be done iu tha emer gency. On dashed the horse until the narrow dock was reached on the river bank, when by a rnas'erly exhibition of nerve and daring, tha coach was turned In scarce its own length and tha horses brought to a stand still before the pale lookers-on could realize what hwi occurred. A pone was raised bv General ifcott and Dresented to Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his skill and bravery. Notwithstanding all hit strength and his robust constitution tha strain of con tinuous work and exposure proved too much for Mr. Ha.tell's constitution. The constant jolting of the coach and the neces sarily cramped position in which he was obliged to sit conttibated to, this end. and at times ho was obliged to abandon driving altogether. Speaking of this period he said: "I found it almost impossible to sleep at night; my appetite left me entirely and I had a tired reeling which I never knew bo fore and could not account for." Did you grra up driving entirely r " "o. I tried to keep up bat it was only with the greatest effort This state of things continued for nearly twenty years until last October when I went all to piece j." "In what way ! " Oh, I doubled all np; could not walk without a cane and was Incapable cf any effort or exertion. I had a constant desire to urinate both day and nightand although I felt lite pasting a gallon every ten min utes only a few drops could escape and they thick with sediment Finally it ceased to flow entirely and I thought death was very near." " What did yon do thenf "'What I should have done long before: listen to my file. Under her advica I be gan a new treatment.1 And wi-a what result!" " Wonderful. It unstopped tha closed passages and what was still more wonder fnl regnlated the Bow. The sediment van lifaed: my appetite returned and I am now wen ana goou tor twenty morr years wholly throngh the aid of AVarner' Safe Cure that has dona wonders far me as weU as for so many others." Mr. Haskell's experience irepeated ev ery day in the fives of thousands of American mn and women. An unknown evil Is undermining the existence of an In numerable number who do not realize the danger they are in until health baa entire ly departed and death perhaps atares them In the face. To neglect seen important matters is like drifting hi the currroioZ Niagara above the Falls. w2&: i fc j JZ'T&iiit?&'&X2? apaasW "t 9 "C- Tat of mn WaTTlO t 11TK ATHftHERS i9Kf AskJ.LCase'EM.i T?acijje, Vtfs.for Caiafogife i x it costs notljiiig jtTHOFIULY! -T FlREUWnr s cpaajg'A'jj-ufxrcs- MJiWr We make a? rredil rut fa- rrltti sad JTasiv llyaa-, rf.t.r;. ... .nrf tu .,.. tUtott.

It is a prevalent and well-founded bo lief that clover hay is not a desirable fowl for horses, and that it provol.es the comni n disease known as -heaves.' It has been supposed that it b the dust in the hay which produces the disci -c by irritating the sensitive lining mem brane of the bronchial tubes. This supposition b probablv a mistake. Clover hay b not necessarily dusty, not nearly so ranch so as timothv cut be fore it is npe. in which ths immature blossom cxbts in tho form of fine dust, which, being partly pollen, has a very irritating effect upon the membranes. And yet wc are recommended to feed only timothy hay to horses and keep the clover hay for cows. Xow. heavas is a nervous disorder, and does not arise from irritation of the bronchial membranes. This condition i f the mem branes. with tbc resulting thickening ol them and consequent obstruction oflhc air passages, produces the disorder known as roaring, or wheezy, noby res piration, out not uie heaving of the llanks, which is the effect of the snas- niod raction of the diaphragm, produced by disordered nervous act-on. and -hich is known as heaves. It is more j.robablc that the nitrogenous qnality of the clover hay is the real cause of tho disorder, as food rich in nitrogen stimulates the nervous system, while food rich in starch, as potatoes, for in stance, has a very favorable effect upon a horse that b troubled with heaves. Cotton-secd-meal and peas are also highly nitrogenous foods, and these, if their use is persisted in, will causa "caves in a liorse In a short time. It is a valuable thiag to kaowwherein and how foods differ in respect to their ni trogenous and carbonaceous character, for much of their value in feeding de pentts utJDR this difference. X Y. Tunes.
