CHILDREN.

IT is a mistake to think that children love
the parents less who maintain a proper au.
thority over them. On the contrary, they
respect them more 1t is a cruel and unna-
tural selfishness that indulges children in a
foolish and hurtful way. Parents are guides
and counsellers to their children. As a
guide in a foreign land, they undertake to
pilot them safely through the shoals and
quicksands Of inexperience. If the guide
allows his followers all the liberty they
please; if, because they dislike the constraint
OF the narrow path of safety, he allows them
to stray into holes and precipices that des.
troy them, TO slake their thirst in brooks
that poison them, to loiter in woods full Of
wild beasts or deadly herbs, can he be called
sure guide! And is it not the same with
our children. They are as yet only in the
preface, or. as it were, in the first chapter Of
the book of life We have nearly finished
it, or are far advanced. We must open the
pages for these younger minds. IL children
see that their parents act from principle
that they do not punish because personal
offence is given, but because the thing in
itself is wrong-.if they see that while they
are resolutely but afectionately refused
what is not good for them, there is a willing
ness to oblige them in all innocent matters,
they will soon appreciate such conduct If
no attention is paid to the rational wishes
if no allowance is made for youthful spir-
its-if they are dealt with in a hard and un.
sympathising manner-the proud spirit will
rebel, and the meek spirit be broken. Our
STOPPING to amuse them, our condpscending
TO make ourselves one in their plays and
pleasures at suitable times, will lead them TO
know that it is not because we will not, but
because we cannot attend to them that at
other times we refuse to do SO. A pert or
improper way of speaking ought never to be
allowed. Clever children are very apt to
be pert, and, if too much admired for it, and
laughed at, become eccentric and disagrea.
BILE. 1t is often very difficult to check our
own amusements, but their future welfare
should be regarded more than our present
entertainment 1t should never be forgotten
that they are tender plants committed to our
fostering care-that every thoughtless word
or careless neglect may destroy germ of
Immortality" that fooishness is bound up
in the heart of child"-and that we must
ever like watchful husbandmen, be on our
guard agaiustit. 1t is indeed little we can
do in our strength, but if we are conscienti-
oua performers Of our part-if we earnestly

KEEP ONLY THE BEST STOCK.

The Eastern States especially, farmers
cau afford to keep none but the best stock.
1t costs in this vicinity at least $50 to keep
horse well through the year, and as much
to keep poor animal as good one. Who
that thinks at all on the subject, can fail to
be convinced that it is better economy to
keep a span of we'll formed, active and pow
erful horses, even should they cost $500,
than pair OF long-legged, light.bodied,
6roken.down stagers, even could they be
obtained for nothing? So it is with cows.
1t is not easy to estimate accurately the.cost
OF Keeping cows,-n this neighborhood it
is not far from S35 per annum-but we may
safely aver that little profit is made except
on the best animals.
The profit of pork making except in the
great corn growing States of the West, is
VIGOROUSLY small, and this year it has been
less than usual. We will not say that much
money can he made here in feeding corn,
even to good Suffolk or Berkshire pig, but
if it will not pay to fatten we'll bred hog,
it certainly cannot be profitable to attempt
to faiten the miserable race of pigs common.
ly found in most barn.yards
The same is true of sheep. The profit
on sheep the past year, especially on such
as are kept principally for their wool, has
been quite small--some good farmers think
it mas been on the wrong side of the ledger.
Many are rushing out Of the business, sci.
ling their flocks at a great sacrifice. 1t
would be far better policy to 60 carefully
through the flock, and select out the com.
paratively worthless animals Many hncks
would in this way be reduced nehalf, and
By keeping them better, and using the prop
er means to improve the breed. much more
profit would be obtained for the food con.
sumed. 1t might be well, too, in many
cases, to get coarser wooled, mutton breed
of sheep. But this of course depends on
the locality, the price of mutton, &c. At
all events, whether, sheep are kept for wool
or mutton, the most profit will be realized
from the best bred animals.
What are and what are not well.bred
animals, ia disputed point which it is not
our purpose here to discuss. Could we see
farmers fully realizing the well established
fact, that carefully bred animals are always,
in the aggregate, much more profitable than
those which are chance bred, we should
have higher anticipations respecting the pro-
gress of American Agriculture.
Corn CoBs.--Permit US to advise YOU
not to sell your corn on the cob, but have it
shelled, and keep the cobs for your cattle
By crushing and steaming the cobs, when
mixed with cut straw or hay, they make an
admirable mess for dry cattle, andif quart
of meal be added to each mess given, and
made into slop, amilch COW will thrive well,
and contribute generously y to the pail

CALLS ON HoRsEs.-A writer in the Ru-
raj New Yorker, with an experience Of twen-
ty years, recommends the use of mixture
OF whiskey and alum las much alum as
the whskey will dissolve) as preventive
and remedy for gals on horses. 10 the
value of this remedy we can add oar own
testimony, from actual observation. We
have used it upon tender.hided horse Of
ours, for the past three years, time and again,
and found it efectua. When the horse is
marked, the CALLED part should be cleansed
with cold water at evening especially in
warm weather, before using the whiskey
and alum.
Iresorted to this remedy, carrying it with
me when journeyed, and have continued
its use with undiminished approval, for more
than twenty years. apply no other reme-
dy. When horse has been put up for the
winter, and has not been used, his breast
and back will become tender. A single
hours use of the saddle or collar in Il hot
day, will then scald the breast so as to pro-
duce serious injury. My uniform practice has
therefore been for week before beginning
the use of the harness, to harden the breast
and back by bathing them regularly two or
three times day.
No injury has then resulted from the ap.
plcation of the collar. And when bad
gall has occurred, frequent and persever.
ing use of this remedy, has secured the con-
slant use of the animal, and healed the
wound, while in continued service.-Wis.

To MAKE GOOD BREAD.-Mrs. Bateham
| am farmers wife and have been house
keeper for more than twenty years; have
raised family of children, and the great
part of that time have personally presided
over my household affairs. have therefore
not found much time to write for publication;
but seeing in your excellent paper several
items on bread baking, and believing am
pretty well posted in that department, | will
give you and the readers of the Cullivator the
benefit of my experience. Truth will bear
twice telling.
In order to have good bread, an ndispen.
sable ingredient is good yeast. My mode OF
making yeastis as follows: TO threee plnts
OF water add one handful Of hops, boil well
together, strain and put the liquor into the
pot again; then take three large sized pota-
toes, wash and pare them, and stir iuto
the liquor while boiling, grate them, add one
tablespoonful of salt, one teacupful OF sugar
or molasses, and thicken with spoonful Of
flour; pour it out, and when cool enough,
add yeast enough to rise it; when light, set
it in a cool place for use.
TO make bread, pare and cut two quarts
of potatoes, boil them in water enough to
mix one gallon of sponge; when well boiled
mash and strain lhro' a cullender, stir in
-four while hot when cool enough stir in a
teacupiul of yeast; then set to rise, and
next morning make up your bread in the
usual way; when light, mould it into loaves,
and let it stand till fit to put in the oven.
This is my way of making good bread
and know of none better.

With eager hands his shirt to close,

From lips, which smiles were on;

Quite reckless of The i'll,
