FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
why Boys Should Learn Far
ming

Mr.. Greeley writing for the Hearth aud
Home, gives the following among other
reasons why he would have boys learn
farming ;-rs9
Il The demand for intellectual labor
or its products, and even for merean-
tile capacity, is exceedingly capriciouss
In q season Of commercial prosperity
a great city affords employment to
thousands as clerks, bOok-keepers,
teachers of music, languages, etc. ETC.,
who will nearly all be left high and
dry by the ebb of the tide. War, pesti-
lence, bad harvest, business reVul-
sion, throws them suddenly out of en-
ploYment, and no merks or excellence
on their part can avert the catastrophe.
would have every one so armed and
equipped for the battle OF life that, It
suddenly unhorsadg he can fight on ef-
dciently and uudismayedly on foot.
II. The professions are tearfully
oTer-croWded. "A Western vtllaga is
half peopled by doctors, lawyers, and
cIergYmen, who have rushed in ahead
of the expected flood of immigration.
Like miners in the Sierra Nevada or
Rocky Mountains, they have severaily
staked out their claims, and are waiting
for others to come in aud help develop
and work them TO mutual profit. But
'swhi1e the grass grows, the steed
starves." whatever may be. their for
tune ten or twenty years hence-and
events are constantly interposing to
blast their sanguine opes-doctor, law
yer, minister, are often winning but q
naeagre, precarious support for the
present. 81 cannot dig to beg I am
ashamed, ;" is the plant which many
would utter IL they could afford to be
frank and outspoken. Thousands suf-
fer and stagger on, oppressed by want
and ever-increasing debt, who would
gladly take refuge in productive indus
try, if they had been trained to- famili-
RrltY with pitchforks and piOugh-han-
dies. They would outgrow their pres
enk eInbarrass ments if it were not for
the 7Se15 doctors, lawyers, and clergy
men annually ground out to compete
with them for practice or parishes, and
whose training is as he1plessly one
sided as their own. I would qualify
the professional men who shall hence
forth be trained for a broader and moTe
assured usefulness than that Of their
elder brethren.

Prepare for War

old adage, and there sentence in the Eng lish

Select the very best and largest oil any
variety that YOU have, crush the berries
in dry sand. and SO thoroughly mix the
mass that the seeds will separate from Il .

seeds in a hali-shady situation, covering
the seeds about quarter of an inch deep
with fine, light soil Keep the surface OF
the bed moist by frequent applications OF
water, and portion of the seed will ger

cover the bed and plants with hay or
straw, and take it off again in spring.
When the plants have made leaves ofthe
size of a half dollar, they may be trans
planted into rows, where they are to re-
main and fruit. Plants that start this fall
will, in some instances, show fruit anoth-

TEACHING CAVES To DRINK.-A cor

writes My practice is to take the calf
from the COW at the end of twenty-four
hours, and fastcn it with about six feet of
rope in box stall; then milk the cow.
and standing off just fur enough for the
calf TO reach me, wet my finger with
milk, put it in It's mouth, and gently low
er my hand until it is immersed in the
milk in The pail let it continue to have the
finger until have given it enough. This
call lesson No. |. The second lesson is
given in this wise Dip the finger in the
milk and place it in its mouth in contact
with the feed, gradually Withdraw your
finger, and the thing is done. 1t may be
necessary to repeat this third time
The secret is that you must stand just far
enough so that the calf can Just reach the
pail of feed, ~ the rope will then be tight
and hence he cannot reach YOU or butt
over and spin his milk or feed. have
practiccd this FOR a number of years, and
have had no trouble to teach calves to
drink"
