Farm Education

Much has been written about book-farming,
aud the need Of education in the science Of
farming, but we fear the too prevalent idea
that practice is better the-ry, rlay bave blind
ed the eyes Of some farmers, who believe that
there is but little new under the sun to be
learned As yet only = small proportion Of
the farmers have taken advanced positions in
agriculture They plod along in the same old
beaten track which their fathers trod, ard
gradually wearing out their farms, with de-
creasng crops, hardly able to make liveli-
hood, without knowing how to better their
condition. knowledge is power, and to know
how to grow two tons Of hay in the place sf
one, to make larger amount Of butter tthe
quality Of which makes it bring double price,,
to know how to make saall piecs Of land in
the cultivation Of root crops or small fruits,
pay as no other department can, is some hing
that many farmers have not tried, because
they lack the proper intelligence to stimulate
them to do it. Much Of the success Of our bcs!
farmers results from calculation aud skill put
iuto practice.
The farmer needs an intelligent inyestga-
ton Of farm chemistry, ,hat he may know the
character Of the soils the proper frrtliang re-
quired, ;he analysis Of certain crop and It's
adaptation to the soil, the rotation Of crops
necessary, etc To be good farmer, there is
as much preparation needed. in study and
practice, as to Ct q man for lawyer, mer-
chant, physiciaa or mechanic. This intelli-
gence, acquired year by year, will tell in its
ELECTS upon the appearance Of tAe farm; it
will make it more valuable aud attractive as
w.l as profitable, aud furnish better home
for the family.

WAITING.


The following piece of poetry viii, we think,
find an echo in the heart Of every mother who has
seen her darling pass to the further side of the
" crystal sea -
I have two little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks Of the crystal sea;
Notimpatiently wait my darlings there,
For smiles light up their brows 30 fair
And their little harps ring out so clear,
So soothinClv sweet TO faiths listening ear
And they live in the smiles OF the Saviour's love,
Who so early called my darlngs above.
have two little angel, waiting for me
On the beautiful banks Of the crystal sea
Forever free from sorrow and pain,
Spotless and pure from all earthly stain;
Never in erring paths To- rove
Eyermore, evermore walking in light,
These beautiful angels robed in white.
have two little angels waiting for me
On the beautiful banks OF the crystal sea;
When nv weary heart is throbbing with pain,
And fain would clasp my darlings again,
I'll look away from this earthly strand
To the beautiful fields OF the /" Better Land ;"
will think of the angels waiting there,
And offer to God thankful prayer.
have two little angels to welcome me
When too shall stand by the crystal sea-
When the Great Reiner His image may trace
In the heart He has won by His saving grace,
And in robes of Christ's own righteousness drest,
Nv soul shall seek the home of the blest,-
On the beautiful banks OF the crystal sea
Ny darlings, still waiting, shall welcome me.

How TO Keep a Situation.

Lay it down as a foundation rule that you
will "be faithful in that which IS least" Pick
up tho loose nails, bits OF twine, clean wrapping
paper, and put them in their places. BE rea-
dy to throw in an odd half hour or hours time
when it will be On accommodation, and don't
seem to make merit Of it, DO it heartily
Though not word be said, be sure your en-
ployer will make no;e of It,. Make yourself
indispensable 10 him, and he will lose many Of
the opposite Kind before he will part with you.
Those young men who watch the time to see
the very second their working hour is up;
who leave, no matter what state the work may
be in at precisely the Instant; who are lavish
with their employers goodwill always be
the first to receive notice that times are duh,
and their services are no longer required.

perty of the child for whom it is set cat. lie

he looks spon his tree as a twin brother. A
feeling Of affection and vcneradon is thus en-
genjered, and love for horticulture fostered
and promoted among the whole population.

Chronic Diseases.

Most chronic diseases, and many acute ones
are produced at tie table As rule, no fluid
of any kind should be taken at the table, espe-
cially if the stomach is weak. The stomach
should never be overloaded not more than
two or three articles should be taken at enc
meal no stimulaRts used before eating; to-
bacco arrests digestion. Milk is the best diet
for infants and children. Tomatoes with cream
aud sugar are healthy and nutritious. Bread
and butter is the staff Of life, aud easily digest

Colds are frequently produced by drinking hot
tea aud exposure afterwards. Late suppers
induce heart disease. Pastry and cakes con-
stipats the bowels Boiled potatoes are not as
healthy as baked oues Fruits are to be eaten
at breakfast and dinner The stomach requires
much rest to be healthy; purgative medicines
weaken the bowels Cheerful conversation
