 ww^ "HI ^^â-  III hm ?! THE FARM. Votes and BnggeBtionS' Nine million acres of land in Germany re d-:voted to the caltiTation of the potato. The product last year amounted to 23.0COj- 000 ton*. Three hundred barreli cf apples are con- verted into jelly every day at Albany, N. Y,, for exportation to Gsimany. A British 'Consular report states that An- coca, Italy, exports to England 5,200 tons of eggs every year though the trade only began ten years ago. France has several agiicoltnral schools for girls. At one of theae, situated near Rouen, there are said to be 300 girls from •ix to eighteen years'of age. The farm con- •i«tB 400 acres. The papers of Cantm, Dak., speak of a girl thirteen years old, in that vicinity, who ploughed eighty-two acres of land with a {•air of horses and a common stubble plough. Manure is one cf the things of which a famer can never have to much. The more he uses the better his crops will be, and the feroader becomes the foundation which he iaye for perncanent proeperity. A farmer in Indiana ia said to have culti- vate! a pumpkin vine this season which pro- duced 18 pumpkins, ransing in Weight from 53 pounds to 1 15 pounds The entire lot weighed 1,467 pounds, three specimens ag- greg-iting 319 pounds. If the mrjor portion of a giren farm be Sat, mcist pasture land, no discreet fanner or breeder would think of stocking up rcainly with horses or sheep. On the o^her band, if the grazing surface be largely hilly ei broken, it would be the height of indis- cretion to select cattle, especially heavy .fattle, for such land. Soldiers are given the brightest, sharpest SkJiid most effective weapons â€" so every farm- er should have the very best machines and implements for the war whicL he has to ^age against vegetable aggressors and insect ijepredatora in the fie'd, the orchard and the garden, and every farmer's wife- should Eave every appliance for economizing mus- cle. Bread is a luxury 'among the peasantry in parts of southern Austria, Italy, and in i^amania. In a villaee not far from Tien- va, the staple food of the people is sterz, a kiod of porridge made cf ground beech-nuts. A porridge made- of boiled maize, called pclenta, forma the chief article of food in a^rthem Italy. Thesame thing, somewhat .il£'erently prepared, under the name of mamaliga, is the common article of food in ^Iramania, Bvery one who has fowls should provide a ^st-box Fine road dust ia best, but coal aches, sand, pulverised loam, or clay, even, are all very good, and with a sprii^ling of £t;ir of sulp'jur or Stoddard's carbolic pow- Jer, constitute as good a bath as can be de- sired. This should be placed in a sunny exposure of the room, and kept dry ahnd Ci'can, so that the fowls may enjoy its bene- st/t when thoy choose. The long evenings can nowhere be ao pro- stably spent as on the farm, giving a tost- ®; reading and study. Many a young farm- er or son of a farmer has a chance to im- nccve ilia mind during the next six months, ff lonly he will apply himself diligently and «yr7ematica1Iy. One or two good books on ^ain-growiup, or live-stock, or fouit oul- ij-.re, well studied during the winter even- higa, cannot tiil to tell on the reaults of wcrk in all future years. We have met with the following cheap '2sf le for paicting out-door structures Make four gallons of paste of rye -flour, like the paste Ui^ed for papering rooms, and theu nais. in one g.^llon of common oil p»int. This will cover aa much surface as five gallons of paint alone. For the second coat add two ca.lons of fil and three for the third. t cese three ooats will last about as long aa titree coats of oil paint. A good pa'nt for brick ia made of fresh lime wash and sul- ftiste of zinc. Marketinaj Poultry. Cnr Canadian markets are fall of hilf- f:tenLd, iialf dressed, poorly packed poul- tTy, which are acid at half price, at little pTodt to dealr8, and at a seriona loss to producers. Why is this It is because our poultry is in *o3 many caeea a sort of by- product nor a regular farm crop, seldom calculated up in as one of the regular sources ef a farmer's income. It is quite worth w'sile for poultry raisers to take pains. Buy- ers CO not want the poor stuff sent to mar- ket. A leau chicb en is not as tender as a well fattened year old fowl and a thin ^cung gobbler, cannot compare in flavor with oue two or three years old, and well fattened. The very choicest birds may be ruined by the way they are kOled and sent te matkot. Tons come with their crops full of com and other grain, and their ectrails full of half digested food. This ferments and the odor nom it taints the whole fowl, even though the weather remains cold, and there is no danger of "sweating," or "sour- â-  Ing." When good, healthy young fowla or turkeys, are abut up in cages with slatted bottoms, regularly fed all they can digest, and given fresh water daily, or better, milk, tfcey will gain very fast. When they are fat it ia time to market them, either dead «r alive. If the distance ia not great, poultry will often sell better alive than dead, but transporting live fowls very far in baskets and crates, »dds to expenses. The fowls get sickly and dirty after a few days, and there is danger of serious loss in case the market should fall, and then the sale for such stock is very dow. Some die and all lose in weight. When killed on the farm, poultry dionld alwaya be starved thirty-aix hoars lie- fore tiiey are killed. Daring thia time they should remidn perfectly quiet Mid if poaai- ble in the dark. At the end of thJa tfane, the food will all have digaatad, ud the bowela will lie empty or nearly ao. Then, if they are hung ap by the fee^ bled by the moBtb, dry-pi^ed while warm, ainged oveir an lioohol flame, and laid on a table to cool, being formed ap nicely into ahape, and wrapped or wound with atrlpa of moidin to keep tiiem so wliile tiiq^ cool in twelve homa tliey may be packed, it ia well to have olean oat-atraw to Una tba boxaa in which they are packed for ahfamant, and tha bozeathemaeiveashoald Im light, atrong and tight.

Ereniags on the rarm There ia no more pleasurable way of apeod- ing an evening on the farm, than in the atudy of some aubject of natural history connected with the farm work. There is an extensive variety of snbjecta to chooae from, and all are of such Interest that no difficulty can be experienced in making a choice. Moreover, aa a method of cultivat- ing social intercourse, theae subjects may be studied sad diacuaaed among a few frienda, invited for the purpoae, who ahonld come prepued to take pact in the converaation. THE LDIE-XILN CLUB. Just befrre the hour for openirg the mtetiog Brother Gardner sent a note to Sir Isaac Walpole that he was unavoidably de- tained f r a time, eu 1 Sir Isaac was asked to go ahead and open the meetiog He took j the President's deak and said " Judge John Abrihams, de cuU'd poet an' reader of Tennessee, arro»e heah dia ar- ternoon. He wants to read one of his pieces of poetry to ua. If dar am no objeckahuns he will be brurg in." " I objeok, sah " promptly responded ' Shindig Watkins. " Will de gem'lan state his objock- skuns " " Yes, sah. It alius gibs me de headache to h'ar anyoas raad poiiry. " " As de objackshuna am not sustained," said the Chairman aa he looked over the au- dience, " Biuider Watkins has leave to in- habit de ante-room fur de nex' ten minita, an' de readin' will go on." HE KBADS. The Jadge waa brought in. At first he seemed to be thoroughly self -possessed, and had a very pompous manner, but before he reached the platform he showed unmistak- able signs of stage fright. Sir Isaac observ- ed it and helped him to recover somewhat by aakiug after his wife's health, and if his paper collar was a fit, and several other questions calculated to soothe and encoursga. By and by the Judge braced up and went to the front wi" THE FALL OF ROME. BT J0ISX J. ASaAHAXS.

" What haa dat poem got to do wid de fall of K me?' kindly aaked Sir Isaac. "Dat'aâ€" data what I can't tell 1" replied the Judge, his agitation increaaing every in- stant. " Hadn't you better put off readin' the rest of it until next fall " " I reckon I had, sah. My head awims, an' I feel aort o' overwhelmed." He retired amidat great applause, and Sir Isaac quietly observed "In de fust place, doui' sot out to chop wcod wid a hce in de next place, doan' specks 'dat poo' whisky am gwine to take de place of brains, eben in sich a matter aa writin' a poem." A BBOTHEB GONE. The Secretary announced a communica- tion from Mobile giving the news of the death of the Hon Separator Cumback, an honorary member of the club at that point. It seems that Brother Camback waa called upon to sit up with a sick man who died during the night. In order that none of the medicine might bs wasted Brother Cuinback imbibed the ct ntents of several phials. In less than ten hours he was a corpse. " What ackshun will de 'club, take " asked Sir Isaac. " I move you, sah," replied Giveadam Jones, "dat, while we put de uauil emblem of moumin' on de uaual doah knob, we fur- der roiolve dat he hadn't orter done it." The motion was seronded and adopted. NEW BULES. The Librarian and the Keeper of the Mu- seum jointly submitted the following new rules to govern for the wintbr 1. All members shall wipe their feet be- fore entering the rooms. 2. All cenvoraation must be in suppressed tones. Anyone refusing to suppress his tone ia libable to a fine of $10. 3. Any person cary ing away books from the library or relics ^f rem the museum will be liable to expulsion from the club. 4. No one muat handle the akull of Alex- ander the Great or the accordion sappoied to have belonged te Cato. 5 Where two members happen to want the same almanac at the same time, prefer- ence shatl be given to the Baptist Church. 6 No religious or poUttcal ^discussions will be permitted. On motion of Picklea Smith the queation of adopting the new rulea was tabled for ono week. HE APPEABS. At thia juncture Brother Gardner appear- ed and took hia aocuatomed place. He aeem- ed aomewhat flurried and had to wait for hia aecond wind before aaying " When I atarted fur dia hall to-night I waa follered by an asaaaain. While I waa on de pint of paaaln' a lonely alley I waa jumped oa by wretchea lyin' in wait to take my life.

We aoatain de Preaident in auatalnin' de fine" The profeaaor himaalf rose up with a melt- ing amile and apologized for having appeal- ed. Hia oonacienoe liad troabled him ever since that occasion, and he now desired to borrow $16 of aixteen different membera, and piy the fine and have the affair off hia mind. The remainder of the baUneaa waa then locked up in room marked «'G," aud the meeting ad.jutned for one week. A FATEPTJL DBEAM. AVLsion of .the Mgitt anil Us Sad Fulfll- ment. Writing of dreams and their fulfi'ment, a correspondent of the5^ Louis Gloht-Demo- crcU relates this actual incident We were eating breakfa-t one momiag, when our nearest neighbor, the miller's wife, came in. She was pale and excited, and to our great astonishment she at once told us that her husband would be drowned tb at af tornoon. She said "Only last night I dreamed that my I us- band was drowned in the mill-race, and that a man, riding a white horse, had come about dusk, and told me the news. So impressed was I with the dream, that I warned my husband not ta go near the mi'l to-day, and I told him my dream, but he only laughed at my fears, and said that we no longer lived in dark ages." We thought at firat that ahe must be crazy, but at last she ao far convinced the folks that ahe waa not, that they consented to have me stay with her daring the day, and I sccompanied her to her home, ahe mattering all the way "I warned him, but he only laughed at me. I know he will never retarn home." Aa evening came on, her anxiety increas- ed. The approaching darkneaa aeemed to her the ahadow of.death, and her face grew paler aa the laat aun-tinted cloud in tiie Weat gave way to the all-raling twilight. Although I put no faith in the woman'a pre- diction, yet ner atrange marmaring had had an effect upon me, and it waa with aome- thing almoat like diaappointment that I saw the night close in, and no meaaenger appear. For I was young, then, and fond of the ex- citing and marvellooa, without atopping to inquire the canae. And ao it waa with a audden shock that I again looked oat of the window, more oarefally thia time, and aaw a white horae come galloping over the hill at ita ntmoat apeed. The woman aaw my emotion and quickly fiew to the window. Down the.ahort hill, over the atone bridge in the hollow, and ap the long alope to the houae, we watohed it come, together, and it would have been hard to tell which waa the moat excited for although no peraonal feel- ings moved me, yet I was in a state of the utmost uncertainty as to the oateome, while the woman, although agitated by the ter- rible grief, yet had not a doubt as to what the message would be. And it waa no aur- priae to either of ua, to aee the man atop at the gate and walk alowly op the avenue leading to the house. The lady met him at the door. As I watohed her standing there in the twiligbt, swaying back and forth in her agony, with her hand on the door knob for support, I felt a great throb of pity at my heart, and at the same time a certain awe for the two who were playing so great a part in the drama of death. The fact hat the news had been expected all day, and had been foretold in a dream, which I knew of only as belonging to the mysterious past of King Arthur and Frois- sart's Chronicles, placed the characters be- fore me on an equality with the magicians of old Granada. I shrank back, feeling that the cold wind which came in through the open door, had carried me back hundreds of years, and placed me in a different age. Even the calm, prosaic farmer, with his snow-white hair, and flowing beard, seemed like some old seer, as he passed hia hand over his forehead, and tried to collect hia scattered thoughta. The silence became terrible. The pale-faced sufferer was growing impa- tient, o r- "Speak " she said, "I can bear it now aa well aa any other time." And then the farmer looked up. "Ah, yea I remember, I remember, now. madam, and hb voice was low and meas- ured "Madam, yonr husband wante the tS'uil"" "'*° **" "" PMture back of Then he turned and rode away as swiftlv aa he came.

Bo-Peep- That'a what a ladjr, aojonming for a while the Bavarian ^rol, called the pretty herd girl that ahe learned to love apon alight aoqaaintanoe. Bo peep'a herd was not compoaed of aheep, however â€" only oowa. I have no doubt yoawoald conaidnr her life a dreary oneâ€" aleeping, eating, dream- ing, all through the summer, with only cows for company. But upon the moun- tain-side, where the herd WdS gathered, ahe liad one compenaation for her iaolation â€" all waa ao pure and lovely that the "trail of the serpent" waa entirely forgotten. Wiiile ahe watched ner herd ahe waa aivay fro 71 all tumult and surrounded by scenes of inexpressible lovelineaa. The sun- shine bathed the lovely hilla. The Alpine fl )wer8 starred the mountain aide. The blue aky amiled above her and the faint echo of the church bella in the valley be- low seemed like voices from another world. One aammer day the lady above alluded to undertook, without informing her frienda, to climb the mountain alone, in aearch of a rare fiawer that she deaired for lier collec- tion. Sue had the misfortune to drop her a^penato k, to slip and fall, badly apraining her ankle, ao that she could not riae. Eren in her pain she enjoyed the place of her rest. Noble treea guarded her, and a gentle wind fanned her with ito low aweet breath. Bat after awhile the pain grew worae, and aa twilight approached, ahe fairly aobbed aloud. What ahonld ahe do 7 Moat ahe lie there auffaring all night Why did not her frienda come in aearch of her! "But I de- serve it all," aheaaid; "I'd no bnaineaa to wander off alone." She called aloud with all her atrength. Far above her the herd- girl waa listening. "What ia that aound?" bha quaationed heraelf but only the murmur of tlie moun- tain atream anawered her. "Hark! I hear it agtin la it the wind atirring the tree tops? Or ean it be a bird'a caU 7" Very aoon ahe became poaitiva it waa nether â€" it aoonded more like a hnman voice in diatreaa. "Come, Dolly," ahe called to her faith- ful bell-cow, "we look up the loat cowa â€" we muat tnat the lost human traveller aa well." With Dolly ahe walked down the moun- tain and plunged into a belt of woods, call- ing: "We're coming, coming, coming." Her call received a quick glM reaponae. Back and forth rang the worda like chimea "Here, hear," and "Coming, coming," until at laat befure the fallen lady knelt the herd girlâ€" a viaion of beauty, with her freah, glowing cheeka, her bright eyea and her Tyrolean hair, garlanded with Alpine bIoa' aoma. "You're hurt, dear heart," ahe aaid, pity- ingly, teking the lady'a hand within her pretty brown one. "Yea I've apralned my ankle, and don't know what to do, " came the anawer, wearily. "But I do," the herd-girl aaid decidedly. "Pnt your arma around my neck, and dear old Dolly will carry you up the mountain." "Butl am too heavy for your young arma," expoatulated the lady. "Try me and aee. You are a hothonae flower, fair and frail, and I am a mountain blossom, strong and sure," she aaid, cheer- ily. Very soon the "hothouse flower" waa on the back of the bell-cow, tiding alowly up mountain, while the "mountain b'oa- the Bom," strong and sure, walked by her side, supporting the biuiaed Umb aa beat ahe could. ,«^"Y'°« atthe herd-girl'atont, the girl lifted the lady from Dolly's back as gently as if she had been a child, and l=id her down upon a sort of hammock bed. No one could have tended the spraned ankle more gently or efficaciously than did the herd-girl. She bathed it witii a liniment oomMsed of mountain herbs, and ban- daged it with strips torn from the whitest of aprons. All night long the lovely girl-nurse bent over her patient in tireleaa watching, al- though the lady proteated againat itTaa it waa entirely unneoeaaary. Toward mom- tM hosteaa and gueatboth fell aaleep, with their facea both together and their hand* mterlooked.
