AGRICULTURAL.
FARM PROVERBS.

JIM FhOs
Use diligence, industry, integrity and
proper improvement Of tins, to make
farming pay.
Do not keep more live stock on your
farm than you can keep well.
House all things as much as possible
animals, utensils and crops.
Sell when you can get fair price, and
do not store for rats and srcculators.
The more comfortable you can keep
your animals, the more they will thrive.
\ good cow is a valuable machine
the more food she property digests, the
greater the profit.
x few roots daily to all TIE stock are
as welcome as apples to boys and girls
Iron shoes or sieds last Il lifetime.
They are rcat'y cheaper il the end than
wooden ones.
Replace all the wooden bars whore you
often pass by strong gates, and then
wonder that you didn't do 50 Leforc.
Although in draining land thoroughly
your purse may be drained yet the full
crops that follow will soon Eli it again.
Always give the sill the first meal If
it is well fed with manure, it will feed all
else-piants, animals and men.
\ borrowed tool, If broken, should be
replaced by a new one. \ nice sense Of
honor, in such matters, is much to be
commended.

pints of boiling water, and before it is

quantity OF tepid water, and applied daily
with soft brush, preserves and beauti-
| fics the teeth, extirpates all tartarous ad-
hesion, arrests decay, induces healthy
action of the gums, and makes them look
pearly white.

| VALUE OF READING-The following
should receive the careful attention of
every parent, as well as every young man
in the country
A child beginning to read, becomes
delighted with newspapers, because he
reads OF names and things which arc
very familiar, and he will make progress
accordingly. A newspaper, in one year,
is worth quarters schooling to child,
and every father must consider that sub
stantial information is connected with
this advancement. The mother of fam
lily, being one of its heads, and having a
more immediate charge of children,
should herself be interested A mind,
occupied becomes fortified against the
ills Of life, and is braced for any emer-
gency. Children amused by reading or
study are, of course, considerate and
more easily governed. How many
I Pthoughtless young men have spent their
earnings in tavern or grog-shop, who
ought to have been reading! How
many parents, who never spent twenty
dollars for their families, would gladly
have given thousands Of dollars to re-
claim son or daughter, who had igno-
rantly and thoughtlessly fallen into temp
tation.
A LADY THIEF SMoTHERED WITH AT
TENTIoN-A certain lady in this village
whom we shall call Mrs. Jones, because
that is not her name, has some goods
stored in the cellar Of one of our stores.
