Eriu.s About working.

The great aim of the farmer must
be to make the labor he employs, as
well ~ his own and that of his teams,
more effective. To do this requires
much study. A man may work hard
and accomplish little He does not
plan well, or he lacks system and or
der Another lays good plans, but
lacks energy sufficient TO carry them
out in all their details. Ii is a great
thing to know when 10 work and
when TO let others work In having
and harvesting, a farmer who employs
a good many men should rarely un
dertake any steady work. He can
accomplish far more by attending to
the little details than by using up all
his strength in pitching or binding
He should always be present, ready
al any moment to lend hand where
his work can he most effective. He
should be able TO see at glance that
every important bolt in machine is
tight He should know the weak
spots in all his operation, and be pre-
pared for all emergencies. He should
realize that the weakest link deter
mines the strength of the whole chain.
In the innumerable details of farm
work this weak link is sometimes in
one thing and sometimes in another,
but it is always somewhere. In one
field it may be in the reaper and in
another the binders; sometimes it is
the pitcher. sometimes the unloader,
or on the stack or NOW 1t is always
somewhere, and the farmer should
look out for it, and be prepared to
strengthen thatpoint.

Shall We XIII the Toads

Nv garden is full OF toads, with a
rather large poetic license. The more
manure and the better the cultivation
the more the toads thrive This is
probably with sharp eye to bust
ness. for insects thrive best in rich
land. Bugs are scarce on a gravel
bank. But where the ground has
been trenched, and the manure work
cd in unsparingly, and vegetation is
rank. there insect-life abounds. And
the toad makes his domicil under the
cabbage or the squash-vine, and
watches patiently for snails, worms,
bugs. and millers. That smooth
tongue that he darts out with such
rapidity looks innocent enough, but it
sticks like pitch to every living thing.
His power of digestion is excellent.
Harris fed one hundred black larvg,
three-quarters Of an inch long, 10 n
single toad without destroying his ap-
petite. We cannot afford TO lose
such an agency as this for the de
s,ruction of insects. He does for the
ground what the birds DO for thctrees.
Give the toads the freedom of the
carden.-Egchdnge.

Lesson fn recdisse stock.

A correspondent to the Maine Far
mor having made the statement that
among the valuable lessons that the
last winter had taught him in feeding
stock. was the conviction that he has
heretofore fed nearly double the
amount needed" another writer for
the same paper comments as follows
on his remark
Iffeeders have learned, as many
no doubt have done, that it is better
to feed less hay and substitute meal
or some other concentrated food in
place of the hay withheld, then the
lesson win not be contreverted buef
they mean just what they say, they
have been feeding too much hay TO
the stock-have given them much
more nutriment than was needed-it
is quite. another thing. | have learn
ed no such lesson. | have learned
(from the experiences of others) that
stock can be wintered-can be kept
alive-on much less hay than has
ueutHN httll ltu ~ lntln.
When YOU want stock to grow du-
ring winter, oxen to lay on fat, cows
to give an abundant flow of milk, you
must give them something to do it
with. Muscle, fat, milk are all in the
feed given, be that grain or hay. 1t
comes from no other source, and can
be obtained in no other way. \ GER
tain amount of nutrimcnt is required
TO support vitality in an animal. If
YOU get growth, fat, or milk, it must
come from nutriment digested and as
simulated in excess of what is required
to sustain vitality. If YOU desire
rapid growth, much fat, or, on
abundant flow of milk, you must feed
hberally. and at the same time keep
the organs of the animal in a
healthy. active condition, that they
NAV be enabled to digest and assimi-
late the greatest possible amount of
food. Milk producers understand this
well, and YOU have not heard them
say they have learned to keep their
cows on a small amount of food
They all feed shorts, and feed them
not to save hay, but TO make their
cows eat more hay.-Shorts are
healthy food, and promote the health
and activity of oil the organs of di-
digestion and assimilation, and thus
the COW is enabled to convert more
hay into milk / have been feeding
cotton seed meal with the greatest
satisfaction. 1t saved me no hay,
but it gave the COWS a voracious ap-
petite, and that appetite created by a
healthy digestion converted a large
quantity of hay into milk
My experience has taught me and
last winter confrmedit, that the profit
in keeping stock comes from the feed
digested and assimilated in excess of
what is required to support vitality,
and the more we can get n single an
imal to digest and assimilate and
therefore convert into the desired
product, the greater the profit.

How 10 Quiet n Baby.

A farmer, who had passed innum.
cradle sleepless nights, immortalized
himself by discovering a method OF
keeping babies quiet The mode OF
operation is az follows: As soon as
the squaller swakes, set it up, prop
ped by q pillow, If il cannot sit alone;
then smear its fingers with thick trea-
Gle: then put half dozen feathers
into its hand, and il will sit and pick
the feathers from one hand to the
other until it drops asleep. As soon
as il wakes again treacle and more
feathers, and in place of the nerve
astounding wells there will be silence
and enjoyment unspeakable.

My blood ran cold as l read in the COMMERCIAL

1t was such startling item OF news that read

Every one felt profound pity for the suffer
ers Of such barbarisms, and sense OF most in
tense shame that our State still allows such rel

lshment of crime ought to be such as not to
shock the public sense Of justice. II we cannot
