SAVING FOR OLD AGE No one denies
but what it is wise to make provision for
old age, but we are not all agreed as to
the kind of provision it is best to lay in.
Certainly we shall want little money,
for destitute old man is certainly sorry
sight, and suggests to every man the
suspicion that his life has been foolshly.
if not wickedly spent. Yes, save money
by all means. But an old man needs lust
that kind of strength which young men are
most apt to waste, Many foolish young
fellow will throw away, on holiday, a
certain amount of nervous energy, which
he will never feel the want of ill he is
seventy, aud then how much he will want
it 1t is curious, but true that bottle
OF champaign at twenty may intensity the
rheumatism at tEreescore 1t is fact,
that everlasting the eyes at fourteen nav
necessitate the aid of speetacles at eighty.
We advise our readers to be saving of
health for old age, for the maxim holds
good with regard to health as with money
waste not, want not. 1t is the greatest
mistake to suppose that any violation Of
the laws at health can escape its penalty
Nature forgives no sin, no error. She lets
off the offender for fly years, sometimes
but she catches lin at last and hrhicts
the punishment just when, just where, just
how be feels it most. Save up for old age,
but save more than money save the re
collection Of good deeds and innocent
pl asures-save pure thoughts. save friends
save love Save rich stores of that kind
of wealth which time cannot diminish, nor
death take away e-as .e.

A writer in the Country Gentlemen pre-
sents the following sensible views:
It is universally acknowledged by the
most successful farmers, not only in the
Old World but in America. that mixed
MISUNDERSTANDING and feeding neat cattle
sheep and swine, in every connection with
raising grain-fes at the very foundation
of successful and progressive agriculture.
Still 1t is not deuied that there is much
good agriculture IN the world which pays
well, and which might be called farming.
where not hoof is kept from the end Of
one year to the other But in order that
agriculture may be a paying and at the
same time self sustaining system. the Only
reliable way is to keep more or less stock,
and Consume large portion of the coarse
grain which is raised on the farm. If a
farmer has an abundance of surplus capital
with which be can purchase guano, ground
bone, poudrette, or other fertilizers, and
may keep his soil good, and raise large
crops Of grain or grass without keeping
stock Of any kind. But this would not be
such system of farm mana cement as we
would endorse or recommend to those who
are ab'ut commencing farming operations
The great idea in being success @ul farmer
Is to commence farming with very limited
capital, and to adopt such a system Of
management as will return capital enough
to defray the expense of cultivation, and
pay tor the Improvements on the farm, and
leave profit towards paying for the land,
and at the same time not impoverish
the soil at all, but on the contrary improve
It's fertility from year to year. This may
be set down as good farming, as self
sustaining system of agriculture.
