to the settlers should be the proximity
to the markets which regulate the prices
current for the country. This can be
obtained by settling in the border States

the price much. Passengers can reach

The skin does about one thirtieth of the
work similar to that performed by the

nature may regulate the heat OF the body.
Inattention to these points gives rise to

Management in Farming.

\ ONE defect in some Of our young farm
ers Is want OF good management. They
begin their errors, perhaps, in buying too
much land, and running in debt for IT,
And this misstep they follow up by other
misjudgments in buying tools, cattle,
seeds, manure, etc. No sooner do they
begin their years work than the interest
on their borrowed money begins to accu.
mulate 1t rolls up, day after day, in rain
and sunshine, summer and winter, and It
eats up no small part oftheir earnings
They get discouraged, and, as a conse-
quence, work less hopefully, energetical-
ly, and with less success.
In England, where taxes are laid upon
everything, 1t costs about as much to rent
farm, as 1t does in this country to buy
one. This compels the farmer to be very
economical, industrious and careful in his
management of all the details of his years
work Not particle of manure ia suffered
to lie out in the sun and rain, or to leach
off into the brooks. Not square foot Of
ground is allowed to lie idle, certainly not
to grow noxious weeds. Not a hired
hand or member of the family who does
not keep busy at work, contributing
something, directly or indirectly, to the
general stock of income. These things,
our brethren in the old country are com.
PEELED to do, to live at all by
farming. Now, why should not we do
something like 1t from choice, and in
order to prosper? Doubtless, it is some
times wise and necessary to farm with
borrowed money, but 1t is often hazard
GUS business Better work on little
smaller scale, and use more management,
than attempt great deal at considerable
risk. That spectre of debt win haunt the
farmer day and night, and rob him of
much of his peace. Unwise it certainly
ia for the farmer to buy more land than
he needs, to pay for it more than it is
worth, and to manage it with no skill at
all. First let him sit down and compute
how many acres he actually needs; how
he will work them, and how much they
are sure to return in profits; then, let
him think seriously of purchasing. Nor
let him forget that he will want money
also for implements, stock, seeds, hired
help, ETC., and some laid up against "a
rainy day" II these things are all taken
into account, he will be somewhat cautious
In his investments in land.
By all means, let nothing be done in q
hasty and thoughtless manner, taking il
for granted that, somehow or other, all
will turn out we'll in the end. Success
will not come by accident.-RuraI Anleri

About MnIchIng.

THE drought has taught us many les
sons this season, which it will be well TO
remember for years to come.
One is, that no amount of mulching Is
so effective to retain moisture as thorough
cultivation. My raspberfies, which were
heavily mulched, dried up before the fruit
ripened, while those that were cultivated
gave good yield OF berries. Perhaps if
they had been well worked and then
mulched, as the dry weather came on,
they would have done still better. Anoth-
er valuable lesson is conned by observing
how much better trees which were plant
