AN OLD FARMERS SLATE.

How mlliy farm matters are !Or9Otton that should
J- attended to in the proper time! The memory IS
called upon to retain every little item OF labor, and
with the multiplicity of "od'ls and ends about the
farm. il is not singular that some should be forgot
Ien and the work left undone How much time
wnud be economical, and how great, too, would
pr the saving Of money. Were farmers 10 initiate
-ur example uf the old farmer, who kept Slate for
iutting down every thing which required attention.
From the Rural New Yorker we have an account
4 the good use to which systematic old gentle
man mt his slate Let every farmer be assured ii
will be we'll for him to do the same:
Nv rting about improvements reminds me that a
farmer does not always think of what il needful
recalls to my mind the practice OF large and
rt,su farmer who at his death left his affairs in
prosperous condition, and his premises in complete
order His neghbors often wondered At the ease
with which he conducted his operations; he never
hurried. but the right thing always done at the
light time and his work never Jagged Much OF the
Improvement he made was in odd spells when the
routine of regular farm work was broken by rainy
weather, or after finishing the work a crop, and
while waiting for another to get to the proper stage.
He kept large slate hanging in the kitchen where
al his workmen could see it, and whenever n job
occurred TO him IL was noted on the slate. For in
stance. some of his entries ran thus: Make gate
for the brook lot3 'Clcan out the open ditch in the
wheat field Lay new floor on the scatfold over
the barn ioor;' Bury the large stone in the middle
ltt = Get some white-wOOd trees TO mill for making
Garden fence pckets;' plant shade trees along the
roadside Dig the aaers out OF the fence corners
and look after the wild mustard that came up where
ihe threshng machine stood in the field last year,
in this way his slate filled, and if Il leisure
Autfday occurred, his men had plenty Of work; and
il the master happened to be absent the Slate told
The workmen what to do. After time if was bis
custom 10 lay ont the days work on the Slate each
evening previous. and when job was finished the
ierord was erased. To get the slate clean WAS the
im'Allou ~ the worklnen."

POuLTRY---FiVE YEARS EXPERIENCE.

\ correspondent of the Iowa Homestead having
devoted five years to the business of poultry rails
ing, arrives at the following conclusions in refer
ence TO the Brahma fowl
|. The knowledge that these fowls are unequal
ed rs winter layers.
Z, That their eggs average larger and richer than
those Of any other breed.
3. Their homc-liko domestic qualities qualify
them for confinement in small yards, which with
little or no disposition to roam, make them desir-
able fowl for cities or villages.
4. Their superior quality for the table cannot be
denied. Kill aud pick one aud you will have some
thing that will do for meal for fair sized family
One will weigh AS much us two common fowls, and
oftentimes more.
.. Their chickens are hardy, easily rased and
grow rapidly, and last Of all, they are 1ine hand
soiae looking fowls, such u man can take pride
III showing to his friends.
These expressions will doubtless conflict with
those of some others whose t.vorite fowls have q
different appellaion, but there is consolation in
showing that there is room for them to put in lea
for their ftvortes.

For the sun is her lover, to comfort her,
