The Age OF Man.

"The age of man." says the bible, "is
three score years and ten" yet many
cases are on record of men who have
attained the age of one hundred and
there are instances of man reaching
one hundred and twenty to one hum
dred and seventy, and even to one hun
dred and eighty-five, the age of Hun
garian peasant, named Petrach Car
tan, who was born in 1857, and died in
I172. Shakespeare divides life into
seven stages, and men of science into
four, six or seven. Most make four
distinct periods only-infancy, youth,
maturity and decline. Some apply
the terms infancy, boyhood, ado
leseence, senllity, maturity, decline,
and old age or state of childhood, be-
tween two and eight, when the first
teeth are shed, and new ones take
their places; boyhood from eight to fif-
teen, when marked transition is eff
fected; adolescence from fifteen 10
twenty-one; manhood eliminates at
forty-fiye or forty-eight. From that
tine, although the mind retains aud
even increases its power, still the body
begins to lose its energy, and gradu-
ally declines through the descending
scale of maturity to old age. Women
are more precocious than men; and
yet the average duration of life exceeds
the male, owing, probably, to the fact
that they are less exposed to accident
and danger in the common course OF
events; and more extreme cases of fe-
male longevity are recorded.

this is easy to obtain about Christmas,

that what is so disagreeable to rabbits
would only toll the mice, for which it
would be choice viands. The attacks of
rabbits are made above the surface Ofthe

meath, and close to the ground. They
often eat the bark of the roots, which are
partially covered by grass or soil. This,
however, is not very damaging to the
trees. An experienced horticulturist
has founl that the best protection he
could apply was roofing Daper, or '.felt,"
which is used as Il surface of the so-called
gravel roofs. Tarred sheating paper,
used for the sidewalks of houses, though
lighter, would answer an equally good
purpose. The stems of the trees are sur
rounded by pieces of this tarred paper.

fastened with carpet tacks. The best
way is to cash the lower edge of the pa
per few times, and, digging out the
soil close to the stem, put the paper
down below the surface, and cover it a
little. This will effcctually prevent mice
getting to the tree. and is very quickly
done. 1t will prevent harm from rab-
bits. also, provided the snow does not
fall too deem.

How 10 Make Boys Good Farmers

Induce them to take an interest i'm tho
farm. in the implements, in the stock
tell them all your plans, your successe;
and failures; give them a history of your
own life, and what you did and how you
lived when a boy; but do not harp toe
much on the degenerate character of the
young meh of the present age; praise
them when you can, and encourage them
to do still better. Let them dress up fol
the evening. instead of sitting down in
their dirty clothes in dingy room. Pro-
vide plenty of light; thanks to kerosene
our country homes can be rs brilliantly
and as cheaply lighted as the gas-lit
houses in the city. Encourage the
neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk ag-
r,culture rather than politics; speak
more OF the importance of large crops,
of good stock, of liberal feeding, and Of
the advantages Of making animals COM
Portable, rather than of the hard times.
low prices and high wages. Above all
encourage the boys to read good agricul-
tural books. Papers are all well enough,
but an intelligent boy wants something
more and better. Get him some good
agricultural book to study. Read it with
him, and give him the benefit of your
experience and criticism. When he has
mastered this, buy him another. In our
own case. we own our love of farming
principally to the fact that our father
talked to us Of everything that was doing
on the farm; answering all our ques-
tions, and encouraging, rather than re-
fusing our clildlike desire of helping
him.--imericdR Apiculturist.

Plant Corn-RaiSc Neat.

SrRiNG HILL JANUARY Il, 1871.
Mr.. EDIroR.-Thc time is near at hand
when, in farmers parlance, the crop
must be pitched; and am so thoroughly
impressed with what believe to be the
cause OF the failure of the planters of the
South, that beg to make a suggestion,
or rather an appeal, to them through
your paper.
The past years crop of cotton approx
imates l,00000 bales. 1t is being dis
posed of at lie. per pound, or price
that will not paw the producers expense
OF culture; ahd when the planter ha
sold his crop he finds, after paying 70
corn and hay, and meal, etc.. that he has
hut little left-sometimes is in debt.
True. the war in Europe has kad some
little effect upon the price, but the low
of supply and demand governs Now,
if half the labor and land applied to the
producing of these 100000 bales, had
been expended in growing corn, whe"t.
peas. potatoes, and cereals generally.
and Instead of having 4,000,000, we had
ONLY made 2,000.0C0 bales. we would real
ize as much money for the half crop as
we will for the 4000.Co0! The labor and
expense necessary to make 2,000,W bales
of cotton being thus expended in max
ing the farms self-supporting. would en-
able the planter to live well, and not
have to humiliate himself, and often
injure his commission merchants, by
getting advances on his next crop. Oar
country would soon be out of debt, and
instead of constant drain upon our
people to buy western produce" the
cotton crop would be surplus fund
wherewith to build up manufactures
and develop the rich and inexhaustible
mineral fields of the South! Will not

past. "a dear eXperience). and for once
