WHAr CAN We Do IN JANuARY.- Thirty or
forty years ago there was little work done up
on the farm or in the garden in January, ex-
cept in the neighborhood Of large cities, with
the dairy. A great deal Of time was spent in
sleighing frolics, sitting behind the stove the
most Of the day, or what was worse, visiting
country bar-rooms. Among our farmers now
who understand their business thoroughly
there is not much Of THE indaIgod in. A far
mer who is at this day frequent visitor to
bar-rooms would not be much respected, at
least his business would not be considered
we'll managed and his credit wonld not be
good. The capable farmer now finds always
something profitable to do about his premises.
He is never idle except nov and then an odd
day when the inclemency Of the weather in.
terposes. His tools, implements, harness,
carts, wagons, cribs, or buildings, with the
cattle and marketing or disposal Of his crops,
as well as pruning in orchards and gardens,
employ all bis time. And it is we'll that ii
IS SO, for there is nothing that so much units
man for his business as a season Of fprolong.
ed idleness. GeyBeantorou Telegraph.
