Give the Bows Chance.

One of the surest methods of attach
ing boy to the farm, is to let him
have something upon it for has oaon.
Give him a small plot of ground to
cultivate, allowing him the proceeds
for his own use. Let him have his
steers to break. or his sheep to care
for. The ownership of even fruit
tree, planted pruned, and brought to
bearing by his own hands, will inspire
him with an interest that no mere
reward or wages can give. In addi-
tion to cultivation of taste for farm
life, which such a course will cultivate,
the practical knowledge gained by the
boy will be of the highest value. =
Being interested, he will be more
observant, and will thoroughly learn
whatever is necessary for his success.
Another equally important advantage,
will be the accustoming him early to
feel responsibility. Many young men,
though well acquainted with all the
manual operations of the farm, fail ut
terly when entrusted with the manage
menta an estate, from want of expe
rience in planning for themselves. 1t
is much better that responsibility
should be gradually assumed, than that
a young man should be first thrown
upon himself On attaining his majority.

To Relieve the Feet.

Bunions may be checked in their
early Development by binding the joint
with adhesive plaster and keeping it
on as long as any uneasiness is felt
The bandaging should be perfect, an d
it might be as well to extend it round
the foot. An inAamed bunion should
be poulticed and a larger shoe be worn.
Iodine twelve grains lard or spermac-
cti ointment half an ounce, makes a
capital ointment for bunions. 1t should
be rubbed on gently twice or thrice a
day. Enlarged joints should be rub
bed thrice a day with common salad
oil, care being. taken at the time not
to strain or overtax the feet by too
great or too frequent exercise. Slip
pers, and loose ones should Invariably
be worn. Of shoes we may say the
same thing; on no account have tight
fitting shoes, slippers, or boots.
