SECURE THE LEAvEs.-The woods are
now full of leaves. Indeed they appear to
be more abundant than ever, but farmers
do not value them as highly as we think
they should. For barnyards especially
they are profitable to haul in. They are
obtainable too when there is little pressing
work on hand. Gathered up in heaps they
can be readily loaded in carts and wagons
with close shelvings by using either cloth
some two or three yards square, or with a
wooden rake and the arm. Hogs are very
fond of them for litter, so are COWS; and
for compost they are excellent. AS oa1
straw is now usually fed to cattle and rye
straw commands high price in the market
there is nothing left for the purpose of lit
tering but wheat straw. Hence forest
leaves should be held in higher estimation
than they commonly are.-GermantosUn

THE LORDS DAY AT HOME.

"The general aspect of this holy day

Hamilton, sis not that of sternness, of NOR

but that of settled, solemn stiffness. Ont
word would interpret all we desired as bes
agreeing to it, without and within-sereni

beauty. We rejoice when it departs will
the tranquility of sunset which is disturb

more do we rejoice when the tumult of th'
people is still. The collisions of life nj
longer chafe. The dizzy wheels of societ.
stop. City, village, temple and home, lii

"Our appeal is to Christian parents
Do you respect the Sabbath and teach you
children to respect it? Is it the memoria
of your roof-tree? Is every duty and pleas

Do you let them see that nothing is suffer

WAGON TIREs.-A newspaper writer says
his wagon tires 'swear out before they get
loose,' and the reason is he saturates the
felloes thoroughly with linseed oil before
the tires are set. The felloes are placed in
hot oil for about one hour, and are thus
rendered perfectly waterproof, so that the
shrinking and swelling that loosen the tire
are prevented.
