Adorn Your Premises.

In this day Of money making but
little is cared for: the outside show of
farms, tarm-houses, suburban or other
private premises, except in and around
large cities. ] care not how large the
farm or other homestead, or how small,
the adorntnent Of the same, III 4 Eecom-
ing and tasteful manner, only renders it
more comfortable to the occupants and
more valuable when it comes into the
market fof sale. To this end let the
farmers plant walnuts, chestnuts, sugar,
ash, poplar, and other handsome grow
ing trees along mis- fence rows. Train
up skirts of native forest trees near the
house; leave clumps of various trees in
the clearing" for cattle to shade and
shelter under. Whitewash the fences
around the house and barn and other
outbuildings also; lay down broad flag
ging of stone or wood, all around the
back yard--in the path to the barn, the
spring, the meat4house, the cellar and
the garden. To every one who owns
an acre or even a rod Of land outside of
the building spot, we say, plant trees,
shrabs and flowers. What is more beau
tiful than a fine orchards What is more
healthful and profitable? What so cap
tyates the eye as lovely lawn or yard,
dotted here and there with the dark
foliage of the ash and pine--or even the
common cedar? What more humaniz-
ing and delightful than the clumps Of
roses, hyacinth5, dahIias and honey
sucEles! They produce feeling Of
happiness and contentment that nothing
else can. An arbor df fine old vines,
clambering up the wall, and over the
caves, bearing rich clusters Of "Con-
cords or "Delawares," or "Catawbas,"
or "Hartfords," is alikea grand luxury
to the eye and mouth Who that can
have them will longer consent to be
without them? Set aside a place in
your garden for "Russell's' and evil
sons strawberries, and gather bowls
full OF these crimson delicacies for your
table, ere any other fruit is ripe. l be-
lieye it was Jeremy Taylor who said,
Doubtless, God could have made a
better berry .thanihe strawberry, if He
had tried, but, doubtless, God never
did"
The time is at hand when the work Of
adornment should be going on. Let all
try to add something Of beauty and Of
usefulness to their homes, however hum

How to Make Mutton.

A lot of Cottswold sheep having been
seen in New York that would weigh
from 800 to 400 pounds, the proprietor,
"a Canadian,) J was asked his method Of
fattening sheep, and replied:
"In the first place l secure good
breed. That is the most important
point. The next thing is to keep them
growing, from the time they are weaned
till the time they are taken to the slaugh-
ter-house, never allowing them to grow
poor at any season of the year. / have
fed them all the hay, peas and oats they
will eat. Peas are better than Indian
Corn for making mutton. Oats furnish
a heterogeneous matter for the formation
of the necessary muscle. Peas produce
more fat thanthe same number of pounds
of cereal grain.
"Do you feed any roots and strawf"
"Yes, each sheep gets not less than
one or two pounds Of turnips daily, with
all the straw to eat and lie on that he
wants, and a good shed is provided,
with supply Of pure water, and salt to
lick at pleasure"
"How much do you expect to get for
the largest of your fockP
1.-TWO hundred dollars per head, or ]
ship them from this market"

Of friend. If that writer could have
read all Of that "other soul's'' conscious
ness as he passed through his various
moods, it would have produced some
strange thoughts concerning his twin
soul. Yet, true friends, friends, do
not quarrel whenever their moods do
not exactly correspond.
The poet has his mood of inspiration
The clergyman has his spiritual mood.
The physician must have his anesthetic
mood--to be humane he must some
times be as a stole. The teacher has his
lucid mood When forms of speech and
problems delight. And so of every
other class Of men. But we sometimes
judge these when they are in contrary
moods, as if the soul on this life's tenn
pestuous sea could always sail, without
variation, in one and the same direction.
The poet would die Of perpetual frenzy.
The clergyman is a cosmopolitan; he
breathes the atmosphere Of earth, and is
acclimated The physician is some
times in pain. The real teacher does
not profess to have nothing to learn.

tenacously to first impressions, in our

tence. The man may be hidden by a
veil of sadness, or he may be transparent
by reason of elasticity of spirit. The
prevailing temperament, at times, may
be unconsciously disguised
The moods of some are as easily
affected by the various phases of society
as the mercury Of the thermometer. by
the changes of temperature. The sen

Do it Well.

Whatever you do, do well. A job
sighted because it is apparently unim-
portant leads to habitual neglect, so that
men degenerate insensibly, into bad
workmen.
THAT is a good rough job" said a
foreman in our hearing, recently, and he
meant that it was piece Of work, not
elegant in itself, but strongly made and
well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do work
well, leads individuals to form correct
habits in other respects, and a good
workman is, in most cases, a good citi-
izen. No one need hope to rise above
his present situation who suffers small
things to pass by unimproved or who
neglects metaphorically speaking, to
pick up a cent because it is not dollar.
Some of the wisest law makers, the
best statesmen, the most gifted artists,
the most merCiful judges, the ingenious
mechanics, rose from the great mass.
A rival of certain great lawyer
sought to humiliate him by publicly say
ing: "You BACKED my fathers boots
once" eyes," replied the lawyer, un-
abashed, 'and did it we'll" And be-
cause of doing mean things well he rose
TO greater.
Take heart all who toll! all youths In
humble situations, all in adverse circum-
stances, and those who labor inappreci-
ated. If il be but to drive the plow
strive to do it well; if it be but to wax
thread, wax it WE'LL if only to cut bolts,
make good ones, or to blow bellows,

Milk for Children---Not always
Good.

We have long thought it not best to
use, especially for young children, the
milk from breeding cows. Analysis, by
Lasigne, showed that as cows approach
calving time, their milk is essentially
changed in its constituents, being def
cient in caseine and milk sugar, and
abounding in aIbumen and uncombined
soda. From what is well known in re-
gard to the human subject, we might
well infer that milk of breeding cows is
not wholesome. Our own practice, for
ten years past, has been to keep a far
row COW especially for supplying milk
for our children. A second rate, but
healthy cow, one not too valuable to
slaughter, is kept for this purpose, and
after 6 to 10 months, according to her
milking capacity, she is dried up and
fattened for the butcher, and new COW
is substituted. The fattened COW about
pays for the fresh one, so that this in
wolves little extra expense, and the re-
suit upon the little ones certainly seems
to be favorable. This is of course more
important where infants are wholly
brought up by hand, and we commend
the subject to those thus situated. The
matter is discussed more fully in the
Agiculurrst for February, 1855 (Vol.
XIV, page III 17)-Unfortunately we
have not copy of that date to supply.
