DUTIES OF FARMERS. is no
only profession, but of all professions il
embraces the widest range of scientific prop
osition and practical facts, and affords the
widest field for the exercise of the philo,
sophie and analytic mind. Instead of the
bright boys being sent to a medical college
Tor field worthy of their talents they
should be educated in the science and in
structed practically in the duties of agricul-
ture.
1t Is prominent duty of farmer SO to
pursue his calling as to inspire respect for
1t in the minds of his children, and so train
them that they shall be able to pursue it
successfully, which can only be effected by
his availing himself of every advantage re-
sulting from the discoveries of science and
the accumulated experience of the past.
This will at once strip farming of almost
every disagreeable feature, an1 clothe it
with attractions possessed by no other busi
ress.
As at present conducted, there is large
amount of very disagreeable labor required
to be performed in farming, and it is mainly
to this fact that we owe the desertion of the
business for others by country boys. Science
and human skill must relieve this, and I'M
doubtedly will, if the farmer will avail him.

PRETTY PLANTS FOR THE kITcnEN.-
Take common tumblcr, OF a fruit can; till
it nearly full Of soft water. Then tie bit

be set in Il window where the sun shines.
1t requires no care, and you will have a
delicate, pretty vine to rest your weary
eyes upon.
You can make another pretty thing with
as little trouble: Take Il saucer and fill it
with fresh green moss. Place in the cen
tire pine cone. having first wet it thor
oughly Then sprinkle it thoroughly with
grass seed. The moisture will close the
cone partially, and in day or two the IT,

SAVE THE MANUKE.-Farmcrs are not
aware how much is wasted on their farms,
that with little care and trouble might be
made into valuable manure. Everything
that can be dccomposcd, either in process
of time with the assistance af the elements
or by the aid of chemical agents, should be
saved for the compost heap. Select some
place in the barnyard oradjaccnt lot where
it will be convenient of access, and there
gather your compost, adding from time to
time such solvents as may be necessary.
Here bring all the weeds, sods. briars,
thistles, &c, that you are compelled to dig
and cut up through the summer; and add
to these from time to time whatever you
have of waste material, muck from the
swamp, dccayed fruits, potato vines, leaves,
the deposit from the sink, &C., and at the
close Of the year you will be surprised at
the size of your heap, and be able to see for
yourselves how much is really wasted on
your farms that might be turned to valua-
Bile account-American

How TO MAKE RAILS DURABLE.-Al-
most every one notices a difference in the
durability of rails used for fencing matcri-
al Timber left with the bark on rots very
much quicker than that which is split and
seasoned. Some rails last for three or four
years, and others are good for fifteen or
twenty. There is difference, of course,
in tho woods uscd for the purpose. Birch
poles are sometimes useless after a years
use. Experiments show that rails cut and
split soon after midsummer last much long
err than those prepared in winter. But
summer is usually fully occupied with till
age and harvest, and of necessity fencing
material must be prepared at a time Of
more leisure. fcut early in the winter
land none should be cut late) have the
logs split Immediately, and the rails piled
where the sun and wind can have free ac-
cess to them.

WHICH ARE CHEApEsr?- Cheap clothes
are the dearest If you buy number of
cheap dresses, the making of them costs as
much labor or money as fos the making Of
those which are dcarer, if you wish them
to ct. Then they soon lose their freshness,
which, after all, was never worth much
but such as it is, they lose it directly. As
soon As they have accommodated them
selves comfortably to the figure, they are
shabby or worn out. The gloss Of ncwness
is never pleasing but when cheap clothes
have parted with that, they have parted
with the ouly thing which recommended
them. A really good dress, though it may
cost twice as much as another, lasts some
times more than three times as long, and
never looks ill. But, above all, it is fit to
be seen long after it is comfortable to the
shapc.
