Give the Boys a Workshop.

Every farmer who has boys should
provide them workshop. 1t should be
neatly made, and pleasantly situated, for it
should be attractive 10 those for whom it
is intended. 1t should be tight and com,
fortably built, furnished with small
stove, so as 10 make it warm in winter.
1t should be provided with workbench
and wise, a shaving-horse for using the
lrawing-kniie, and perhaps small foot
lathe which is very convenient, but not
essential, however. The other tools
should be two or three planes, augers OF
different sizes, few chisels, bit-stock
with bits, drawing saw and hammer.
For those who cannot afford the whole,
a small part of these would answer, and
to those who can, other tools may be ad-
ded the cost of the tools would be but
"a trife compared with the advantages one
would derive from the use of them. The
greatest is the assistance it will render the
cause of practical education. II has been
said that "the best inheritance any man
can leave his children, is not wealth to
support them, but the ability to help and
take care of themselves"
A young man, whose natural lngenui-
ty is SO developed by practice that he can
at any moment mend a rake, fit helve
in an AK, SET clock in running order,
mend broken harness, give edge to a
pair of shears, mend lin ware, repair an
umbrella, white-wAsh ceiling, paper a
room, make beehive, bottom a chair,
or mend broken rocker, and do a hun
dred other little jobs, will pass through
the world more comfortably to himself,
and proftably to hose around him, than
The one who is obliged 10 send for me-
chanic to do such little jobs which he is
too helpless to perform himself. Anoth-
er advantage afforded by such workshop
is its moral influence, furnishing pleasant
employment to boys during stormy wea-
ther, or other leisure hours, and lessening
the temptation 10 frequent taverns, and to
attend places OF diversion-which often
leads to the most pernicious habits.
Almost ever Yankee boy has longing
for the use of tools, from the moment his
hand grasps the jack-knife and he begins
10 white. Provide cheering work for
your boys, something that will be reIaxa-
lion from the drudgery of the pillow toll,
and the composite health, something that
will satisfy their longings for progress, and
open to them new realms of thought
If they are not skilled with the mallet and
the chisel, the saw and the plane at home,
they will quite likely become adopts at
the pipe and the bottle abroad.-RurdL

MANAGEMENT OF BEEs.-The most
convenient method that | have tried, in
common management of bees, in my api-
airy is, when wish to handle hive or
stock, to blow a little tobacco smoke
upon them. After moment or two, ]
can remove the honey. board and take out
the frames, without any fears of being
stung. 1t is not necessary that a man
should learn the detestable habit of smok-
ing, in order to do this. A pipe should
be so constructed that you can blow
through it and direct the smoke to any
part Of the hive. Let any one who has
heretofore had trouble in the handling of
his bees, try little smoke, and he will be
surprised at their easy management. He
will find honey boxes can be removed,
the bees and combs examined, with entire
freedom from stings, with, perhaps, now
and then an exceptional case.
If you want hive Of bees in your hat,
all you have to do is to cage the queen of
the gorged swarm in small wire box,
and Gasten it in the top Of your hat. Shake
q few bees into the hat from one of the
combs, and their love Cor their queen will
make them cluster around the cage in the
hiatt. L. Fairchild.

FLoRENTINEs.-These are delicious,
and form pretty dish for supper. Roll

an inch, and lay it on thin baking tin.
Spread over it layer of preserve jam,
and bake it in moderate oven. Take
1t out, and when partly cool, having whip
ped some whites of eggs with sugar, put
the whip over the preserve, and strew
some minced almond all over the surface,
finishing with sifted sugar. Put it once
more into the oven till the whip is quite
stiff. The forentines should be of u pale
color; and few minutes after the paste

ABOUT Coop AND Poor MILK.-Mr.
N. T. True, of the Maine Farmer, writes
that milk differs more widely in quality
than almost any other article. 1t differs
in different breeds, and in cows of the
same breed, and even in the same COW ut
different seasons of the year. Let cow
be fed on meadow hay alone, and that late
cut, and her milk will look blue and thin,
and void of cream. Buyers of such milk
have reason to complain Of poor milk
On the other hand, the same cow fed with
sweet clover hay, or fed with meal, will
give you milk entirely different in quality.
Milk kept in foul cellar will be essentially
affected by the odors arising from the de-
composition of vegetable matter.

ELDER LEAvEs-The leaves of the
elder, if strewn among corn or other
grain when it is put into the bin, will
efectually preserve it from the ravages OF
the weevil. The juice will also kill bed
bugs and maggots. Insects never touch
elder bushes. The leaves of elder scat
tered over cabbages, cucumbers, squashes
and other plants subjected to the ravages
OF insects, effectually shields them. The
plum and other fruits may be saved by
placing on the branches and among them
punches of the elder leaves.

DORSEY SELF RAKE

This valuable patent having been bought by
the ''Syracuse Self Raker Co.." and several valu-
able improvements added TO it by years of ex-
pertinent, is now known as the "SYRACUSE
SELF RAKER,' and after an experience ofthree
havests in experimenting ourselves in all kinds
of grain from the shortest oats and barley to the
tallest rye and on the toughest ground and
steepest side hill we have found the Syracuse
Self Raker" infallibe in work as well as the most
simple and convenient of any Rake in existence.
There are several Self Raking machines in the
market, which without any legal right to use
the Dorsey, embrace its leading principles with
slight variations in construction, but in none of
them is the element of regulating the size of the
bundle and adapting il to all conditions of grain,
heavy and light, making it necessary in almost
every case TO either double or divide bundles
which is both expensive and troublesome
We warrant this Combined Machine to be as
