How to Use a Grindst0ne.

1st.--Don't waste the stone by running
il in water; but if you do, don't allow 1t TO
stand in water when not in use, as this
will cause a soft place.
2d--Wet the Stone by dropping water
on il from pot suspended above the
stone, and stop of the water when not IN
use
3d.-Don't allow the stone TO get out of
order, but keep it perfectly round by use
of gas pipe, or hacker.
4th. Clean off all greasy tools before
sharpening. as grease or OIL destroys the
grit.
5ih.-Obscrve: When you get q stone
thai suits your purpose, send sample OF
the grit TO the dealer to select by; a half
ounce sample is enough, and can be sent
in a letter by mai. -Ffanhtia JouJ7sm.

Shelter on Stock Farms.

Under this head we wish to embody a
few general but highly important direc..
tions in regard to the management OF
those farms devoted principally, or par
tiaIly. TO the rearing OF stock, so Tar
as this subject relates 10 the horse ana
mule.
1t is great fault on many farms Of this
character that there is no suitable build
ings, or at least no sufliciency OF them,
for the shelter of stock, and especially OF
the young and growing colts. Such neg
lipence is great mistake, and one for
which the farmer has 20 pay dearly In q
pecuniary sense. 1t is almost as needful
that his stock should be afforded proper
shelter from the storm and cold as that
the hay and grain they eat should be well
secured
But. in addition to dry and commodious
stables for winter use, shelter should be
provided sufficiently large 20 accommo
date all the young horses and mules dur
ING the cold rains and storms OF the spring
and fall season; and these should b5
either in the pasture itself or accessible
from it. The size Of the shelter should
be proportional, of course, to the number
of the animals to be accommodated. a
shelter of twenty feet square will be large
enough for twenty colts, ii there be par
tition run down the middle, as there al
ways should be. On each side Of this ten
can stand very comfortable. The con
struction of such shelter is very simple,
and need not be expensive. All that is
required, in addition to a roof, set on
posts eight feet high, and resting on large
fiat stones to keep them from the ground,
will be an enclosure of the north and
west sides with boards. A cheap sub
stitute for the latter, and one that
will last for several months, Is compact
wall Of good wheat or rye straw, straight
and strong, bound up in long continuous
sheaves Of layers, set perpendicnlarly,
and secured with two or three boards

Switching the flies from his TANKS and launches,

But one day he fell

Ten years of toll in sun, snow and rain;

THE CARPENTERS DREAM--A poor
man was carpenter and he often said
TO himself and others IF ] was only
rich, / would show people now to give. :"
In his dream he saw pyramid OF silver
dollars-all new, bright and beautiful.
Just then voice reached him, saying !:
Nov is your time. You are rich at last;
let us see your generosity" So he rose
from his seat and went to the pile to take
some money for charitable purposes. But
the pyramid was so perfect that he could
not bear 10 break it. He walked all
around it, but found no place where he
could take dollar without spelling the
heap. So he decided that the pyramid
should not be broken and then awoke.
He awoke to know himself, and to see
that he would be generous only while COM
paratively poor.

DO they contain notices of your

word calculated to draw attention to your

and AID IN their progress aud enterprise?
Not line.-And yet there are men who
take such contracted views OF this matter
that unless they are getting as many
