An Old Rarmer's Slate.

Writing about improvements reminds
me that farmer does not always think
of what is needful and may be done
when leisure times occur, and it recalls
to my mind the practice of large aud
successful farmer, who at his death left
his affairs in prosperous condition, and
his premises in complete order. His
neighbors often wondered at the ease
with which he conducted his operations;
he never hurried, but the right thing
was always done at the right time and
his work never Jagged. Much of the
Improvement he made was in odd spells
when the routine Of regular farm work
was broken by rainy weather, or after
finishing the work on q crop, and while
waiting fer another to get to the proper
stage. He kept large slate hanging in
the kitchen where all his workmen could
see it, and whenever . job occurred to
him it was noted on the slate. For in
stance, some of his entries ran thus:
"Make gate for the brook lot;n "Clean
out the open ditch in the wheat field:n
LAY new floor on the scaifold over
the barn 6oor;;n "Rury the large stone in
the middle lot;" sect some whitewabd
trees to mill for making garden pickets;n
"Plant shade treeo along the roadside;;n
''Dig the alders out of the fence corners
and look after the wild mustard that
came up where the threshing machine
stood in the field last year, In this way
his slate was filled, and if leisure half
day occurred, his men all had plenty OF
work; and if the master happened to be
absent, the slate told the workmen what
to do. After time it was his custom to
lay cut the days work on the slate each
evening previous. and when job was
finisksd the record was erased. To get
the slate clean was the ambition of the
workmen.-[R Rwal Nsw Yorker. =
