Five Minutes.

Not one young man in fifty knows the value of five minutns-not the general value as it used to be talked to us in sctool, when we appreciated time only as it divided us from our marbles or our game of ball. We mean the actual value of five minutes as appreciated by the man who has accustomed himself to save every five minutes which he has an opportunity to waste-the actual value as seen at the end of year, in which not more than five day have been saved in gaining informa ton.
 "How shall I save the five minutes ?' By few weeks course of discipline, dur ring which hibit of turning to book whenever one has nothing else to do, is formed. The habit is worth more to q young man than even the habit of devo ting half an hour day to reading. The stronger the habit grows, the more time there will be saved.
 We do not mean that it is well to have book near the counting desk. On the contrary, we believe that in business hours nothing but business should be attended to. By dividing the attention, little is gained in the way of literary information and everything is lost in the way of busi. ness promptness
 It is in the hours out of business that so many five minutes are wasted
 In waiting for breakfast, for instance some of us now and then get down before the last bell rings-there may not be time to take up book. Take it up, neverthe- less it is easily laid down again; and some delay in the kitchen may give you five minutes time. Some thought, or date, or fact, may catch, your eye within that five minutes, which will be of use and pleasure to you in after life-to think of, if for nothing else. So, too, in waiting for the dinner bell and for supper, and during the evening there are very many times in which there is spare five min utes, and which is usually spent in think ing of business or staring into the fire. Now, it is no exertion to take up book and to read, but one who has not acquired the habit of doing so, never thinks of the things except at stated periods, or when he has abundance of time and wishes to kill some of it. A person who has ac- quired this valuable habit takes up book unconsciously. He acquires information without realizing that he is doing so, and without the least exertion. !.
 Acquire this habit, then, reader, if you have not already done so. It will require some exertion at first, but it will soon be- come, like other habits, second nature. You will then be constantly accommodating knowledge Your mind will be growing as unconsciously as your body grew in Remember, pick up book open tiff you only look at its title page, or preface, and are obliged to close it. everywherc--at all times-subject, of course, to the demands of fbusincss and the rules of propricty

Weighing on the Farm.

A halfbushel measure is considered indispensable by every farmer. He does not sell his potatoes or grain, guessing at the contents of the bin or the pile on the foor-it must be measured. With this instrument at hand, he may know just how much corn is fed to the hogs and poultry; how many oats to the horses j; how much seed is sown upon the land, and many other points equally valuable to know. But good weighing scale is pos sesscd by comparatively few, although its use would in many ways be even more valuable than that of the halfbushcl. For instance, in selling live stock, the weight is usually estimated by the drover or butcher buying at the farmers door. Long experience enables the buyer to weigh them very correctly with the eye, and thus he has the inexperienced seller at an advantage, which he is not slow to use. A good Fairbanks standard plat form scale would save its cost in few such transactions.
 The weight of wool, butter, and other farm products, should be ascertained at home, to prevent mistakes and dishonesty in weighing after the goods have been sent to market. The weight of grain per bushel, the gain of cattle under different systems of feeding, (exactly when an ami nal ceases to increase by feeding,) and many other important facts, can readily be determined by having good scale. It should be part of the furniture of every farm. Fairbanks scales have been named in this connection, as being entirely rclia- blc, having been adopted as the standard in this and other countries.

soil For Trees.

Because the roots of tree strike deep into the ground, that is no sign that deep culture is preferable. Will the roots, deep in the ground, do as well as those near the surface, the soil the sames No one will say they will. We know that the sun warming the ground, and the air penetrating it, IS an advantage. The best growth is made near the surface. Culti- vate, pulverize, and enrich the soil, as deep as the roots penetrate, the whole as near the surface as possible, and the height of success is attained.
 The difficulty is, in this case, that the ground will too soon become exhausted, so that manure will have to be generously resorted to- This will remedy the evil. But the evil cannot be remedied if the roots extend deep, as they get beyond the reach of manure and the plow. In poor, crude soil, they cannot thrive. In selec- ting a site for an orchard, it is necessary to have this thing in view
 Some soils warm deeply these are the leachy, gravelly soils. The roots here, will penetrate in all directions, and extend downward to. a great extent. They seem to obtain considerable nourishment. Such ground is usually the best for trees, as it lets in the air and attracts warmth by its arenaceous quality. The water, also, is at once removed; fertilizers will readily penetrate; and if not too leachy, will re- main till the trees have taken up the strength.

Support Your Home Paper.

We recommend the following as emi- nently worthy of consideration. It will suit this meridian as well as any other:
 Whatever patronage may be accorded to the city journals, whether on account of their cheapnes or the "generap news they contain, the importance of sustaining "home papers" should not be overlooked. As the medium for local transactions, and for furthering some interests, their value can hardly be overestimated. The fol lowing article, from the Cleveland Herald, presents the question in it's true light: "We know of nothing that is more dis heartcning to the publisher of a country newspaper than to be told, as he often is, when soliciting subscribers: q feel too poor to take your paper; take the Her aid Cor some other huge foreign weekly, ) and it only costs me two dollars year, and contains twice as much reading as yours does es"-when the receipts of one week of the office named above would be double the yearly receipts of his country paper, and when, if the foreign paper were published seventy years, it would not result in as much benefit to himself and country in which he lives as would single weeks edition of his own country paper. Recollect, if home paper is to be supported, home influence must do it. Every dollar sent to the Eastern paper is at the expense of the local paper. A county acquires prominence through it's papers more than any other way, and to every one who has county interests at stake his home paper is necessity. Never will such man take paper printed away from his home until he is able to take a second paper. His first will be his home sheet, and he will so identify his own in terest with that of his subscription as a matter of as early duty as the payment of taxes"
