Every farmer should so arrange his work
that he car. spare time enough once week
to go all through his barns and out-builds
ings, and see if anything is out of order.
The best time is at the beginning of the
week, for he then has no unfinished jobs on
hand that must be completed before the Sab
bath. In one place he will find door with
a brok en- hinge; in another sleigh stand

An aged Indian, who for many years had
spent much time among the white people
both in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, one
day about the year 1910, observed that the
| Indians had not only a much easier way Of
getting a wife than the whites, but also more
certain Gf getting q good one. sfFor," said
he in broken English, fswhite man court
court may be one whole year, be
two years before he marry! Well may
be then get ue,y good wife-but may be
not May be ve,y cross! Well? now sup
pose c3ossl scold so soon as get awake in
the morning! scold all day scold until
sleep all one-he must keep hid! White
people have law forbidding throwing away
wife, be he ever SO cross-must keep him =!
Well, how does Indian do? Indian, when
he see imdutrious sqa1aa0, which he like, he
60 to hima-place his two forefngers close
aside other. make two like one-then look
squaw in the face-see him smile--which is
all one he say YES $50 he take him home
no danger he be cross! No, ge-squaw know
to well what Indian do, if he cross Throw
Him away and take another! Squaw love
TO eat meat! No husband, no meat Squaw
do every thing to please husband he do
everything toplease squaw-liye happy!
RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many man is
rich without money. Thousands of men with
nothing in their pockets, and thousands with
out even apocket, are rich. A man born
with good sound constitution, a good
stomach, good heart and good Limbs, and q
pretty good head piece, is rich. Good bones
are better than gold, tough muscles than
silver. and nerves that fash fire and carry
energy to every function are better than
houses and lands. 1t is better than a LAND
ed estate to have had right kind of father
and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist between herds and horses, Education
may do much good to check evil tendencies
or to deyelop good ones, but it is a great
thing to inherit the right proportion Of ia
culties to begin with. The man is rich who
has good dispositicn-who is naturally
kind, patient, cheerful, and who has flavor
of wit and fun in his composition -

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

POULTRY AND EeGs.-A good deal of ex-
perience has taught US that success in the
poultry yard depends as much upon good
general management as upon any one thing
When the eggs of any hens indifferently
are kept for the purpose Of raising, young
chickens, and when little, attention is paid
to the particular hens reserved for laying,
it will in general be found that the profits
are small, and the quality Of fowls raised
rapidly deteriorates. .4sYc.q psn i n i .s- ].
In addition to the usual plan of selecting
only the best formed and quietest hens for
breeding purposes, we have found it Of ad-
vantage to pay considerable attention to the
age of the fowls which We retain. For the
production Of eggs for domestic consump-
ton, we never keep hens beyond their
second year, but for raising chickens We
have found it to be poor policy to employ
eggs laid by hens less than two years old.
We have always found that the chickens
from the older hens are more easily raised.
have stronger constitutions, and turn out
every way better than those raised from
pullets, eggs. The eggs consequently cost
more, but this extra expense is but small
item on the number Of eggs usually en- :.
ployed forhatching .i5neD 'aaHae2 rob s9d
ln order to- have eggs during winter be
sides the usual appliances of meat, lime,
sand, bones, &C., we always make sure of
having Some very early chickens. Tie pull
let's of these will commence to lay III Octo-f
Der or November, and will lay throughout
the winter Next season we draft d few of
the very best of these and keep them as
breeders, the. balance being fattened and
killed off as soon as they have positively
ceased laying, At this time it is wonderful
how rapidly hens take on fat We often
see accounts of hens not laying because they
are too fat. D When considering the ease
with which hens fatten as soon as they cease
laying for the season, we have often thought
that the true way to state the case is that
they fattened because they did not lay. AT.
this age they are delightfully."- tender and
juicy, and we would about as soon think of
fattening COW that gave twenty quarts Of
milk a day as to think of fattening laying
men. +. III iosi.I.. IT, al ,,i .c. ~ u. =.
