"Not long ago a country gentleman
had an estate of E200a year, which he
kept in his own hands, until ne found
himself so much in debt, that to satisfy
his creditors, he was obligedto sell the
half, and let the remainder to a farmer
for twenty years. Towards the ex.
piration OF the lease, the farmer COM
ing one day to pay his rent, asked the
gentleman whether he would sell his
farm. why, will you buy itg' said the
gentleman. 'lf you will part with it,
and we can agree replied the farmer.
THAT is exceedingly strange said the
gentleman. pray tell me. how it hap
pens, that while | could not live upon
twice a much land, for which paid no
rent, you are regularly paying me a
hundred pounds a year for rent, and
are able in a few years to purchase the

the farmer. you sat still and said go

Keep your temper. Employ leisure

every thing with some. Be guarded
in discourse-attentive, and slow TO

ThingS to be Remembered. .

Horses should never be put to sever
work on a full stomach. More horse
are hurt by hard driving after a fuI
feed, than by a full feed after hard dri
wing.
If the farmer wants to have his porl
barrel and meal chest hold out, let hin
look to his kitchen garden. Plenty OF
vegetables conduce not more to health
than to profit.
In laying in a stock of winter fodder
for animals, let it not be forgotten
that a little too much is just enough
Starving animals at any time is mise
rable policy.
As you treat your land, so it will
treat you. Feed it with manures lib.
orally, and it will yield you bread boun-
tifullv.
Avoid debts as you would the lepro-
sy. If you are ever tempted TO pur-
chase on credit, put it offfor three days.
You need time for reflection.
Never begfruit, oranything else you
can produce by the exdenditure of a
little time or labor. 1t is as reasona-
bic 10 expect a man 10 give away the
products OF his wheat field, as OF his
orchard or fruit garden.
If you keep your sheep and cattle in
your meadows until June, don't COM
plain next winter because you are com
PEELED to purchase hay for your stock.
The man who uses good seed, has a
good soil, and works it in good season,
rarely fails Of having a good crop to
reward his toll.
Never forfeit your word. The say.
ing in truth, of any farmer, "hls word
is as good as his bond" is worth more
to him than the interest of $4,000 an
nually.-N. Y. CUltivator.

Lime spots on wollen clothes, may be

of the summer is compensated by the
