Farmers Boys.

The following article which We find in the
Tauey Farmer, q Western agricultural peri,
odical, we commend to the attention OF every
farmers boy. Parents should also, point 1t
out to their sons, aud if necessary read it to
them carefully and then hand the article over
TO them, without comment, unless the remarks
be ola mild, pleasing nature:
"In the wide world there is nomore import
ant thing than farmers boys They are not
SO important for what they are as for what they
will be- st present they are Of but little con-
sequence too often But farmers boys always
have been and we presume always will ne the
material out Of which the Doblest men arc
made. They have health and strength they
have bone and muscle they have heart and
will; they have nerve and patience; they have
ambition and endurance and these are the
materials that make men. Not buckrams and
broadcloth, and patent leather and beaverfur,
and kid gloves and watch seals, are the ma
terials Of which men are made. 1t takes
better stuff to make man. Il is not fat and
flesh aud swagger aud selfconceit nor yet
smallness, nor djppancY, Lor f0ppery, nor
fastness These make fools, bat not men not

time and mind; they have schools and churches
and papers they have books and perseverance
and the heart and hand for work More than
this they need not Let them awake and work
and read and study. It's not all work, nor

WIEN TO Cur TmBER-Conyersing with an
intelligent farmer of large experience, upon
this subject, we found he fully sustained the
views heretofore expressed in the Agricgltlrit
viz that the best season for cutting timber
is about midsummer. His explanation was
that during the latter part of June aud early
in July, when the foliage is in its fullest vigor
the upward draft upon the sap is so great that
very little moisture is left in the the tree, con-
sequently the timber seasons hard and sound
hat that during March and April there is so
much water in the wood, that insects bore into
it readily, thus producing powder post
through all the sap portion, and even into the
heart wood. He mentioned the instance of q
neighbor who cut his timber for house in
June, but when be came to work it out in the
Winter, he lacked some ribs or Stats upon
which TO nail the long roof shingles. He cnt
enough to supply the deficiency during the
latter part of Winter,and completed the house.
After the lapse OF few years, be examined
the roof, and found the Stats which were cut in
Summer, perfectly sound, while those cut in
Winter, were, badly affected by dry root-and
powder post" Our informant had also prov
