A farmer went to town one day,
accompanied by his son, little Thorn.
as.
"See," said he to him on the way,
there is,a broken horse shoe In the road;
pick it up and put it into your pocket"
80, no, father" replied Thomas, sit
isn't worth while to stop and pick ii
up."
His faith er, answering nothing, pick
ed it up and put it in his own pocket,
He sold it to the blacksmith in the next
village for three farthings, and bought
cherries with the money.
After this they continued their jour-
ney. The sun was burning hot. Neither
house nor tree nor spring was anywhere
to be seen. Thomas suffered with thirst,
and had great difficulty in keeping up
with his father.
The latter, then, as if by accident, let
fall cherry. Thomas picked it up with
as much eagerness as if it had been gold,
and put it in his mouth. This game con.
tinued until all the cherries had been
picked up. When the last had been
eaten, the father turned to his son ,smil-
ing, and said to him:
"You see now that if you had been
willing to stoop once to pick up the
horse shoe, you would not have been
obliged to do it hundred times for the
cherries.u

APPLE BUTTER.-A correspondent
of the Ohio Farmer says Noticing in
your paper an article "How to make q
bal rel Of apple butter" will give you
my plan Soon as the cider is brought
from the press, we proceed to boil il
down as quickly as possibly, to avoid
fermentation, but instead OF beginning
to fill with apples when half boiled, and
stirring with paddle twelve hours, we
continue the boiling process till it is all
boiled down to good syrup, say about
five gallons into one, which can be
poured into a wood or stone vessel, and
will keep if not ready to make up i'm.
mediately. The evening previous to
make up, with the assistance OF our men
folks, we pare and core our apples which
we stew in little sweet cider, if we
have it, otherwise, water or some of the
boiled cider weakened down. When
the apples are cooked soft we com.
mence stirring, adding the boiled cider
as fast as as it will bear. Four bushels
ofapples are sufficient for thirty.two
gallons of cider. Three hours of brisk
boiling and constant stirring will make
it strong enough to keep a year, If de.
sired.

RAT-PROoF CORN CRIB.-A cores
pondent ofthe Cincinnati Gazette, gives
the following directions for making a
ratproof corn-crib:
Let the four corner posts be s inches
square frame the sills which are to
support the floor of the corn.crib into
the posts at distance of two feet from
the lower end. Before putting the frame
together, taper the lower ends of the
posts for the distance oftwo feet, so that
at the very base the posts shall be only
inches squar. Now, when the frame
is set up let these posts also stand on
tapered rocks. If the crib needs more
than these four posts to bear up the corn
that will be put into it, make legs like
the lower portions Of these posts, and
set these legs under the stills. Now lay
the joints or sleepers ON the sills, and
put on the floor, making the latter
tight, and which will be about three
feet from the ground. Have the door
made tight, and keep 1t shut, and no
rats Will get into your crib.

To Make Boys Farmers.

/ wish all the fathers would heed what
the american Agricult,rist says In
duce the boys to take an interest in the
farm, In the implements, in the stock
tell them all your plans, your successes
and failures; give them history of
your life and what you did, and how
you lived when boy but do not harp
too much on the degenerate character of
young men Of the present age; praise
them when you can, and encourage
them to do still better. Let them dress
up in the evening instead of sitting
down in their dirty clothes in dirty
room. Provide plenty of light. Thanks
to kerosene, our country homes can be
as brilliantly lighted as the gas lit resi-
dences in the city. Encourage the neigh
bors to drop in, evenings. Talk agrieul-
ture rather than politics /; speak Of the
importance of large crops, Of good stock,
of liberal feeding, and Of the advantage
Of making animals comfortable, rather
than of the hard times, low prices and
high wages. Above all encourage the
boy to read good agricultural papers.
Get him some good agricultural book
to study. Read 1t with him, and give
him the benefit of your experience and
criticism. When he has mastered this,
give him another. In our own case, we
owe our love for farming principally to
the fact that our father told us of eyery-
thing that he was doing on the farm ;
answering all the questions and en-
couraging, rather than refusing, our
child like desire of helping him to plow,
to chop, to drain, as well as firing the
brush heap.

GEO. Z. WoRRING, In late number
of the agricultural, thus alludes to the
system ofdeep cans for milk, when set
away for raising cream. Speaking of
his butter he writes: sit has never
been more easily made, and never bet
ter and the advantage of the deep can
system was never better demonstrated.
l am sure that any dairyman who
makes even fifty pounds of butter per
week would be more than satisfied with
his investment if. he would rearrange
his milk room so as to set his milk in
deep cans, even il he has to use wind
mill, as we do, to get supply of fresh,
cool water to set them in."
Mr.. Warning uses cans eight inch
es in diameter, and twenty inches deep,
set in spring water up the rim he is
now making $50 pounds Of butter per
W,tk, ard gets high price for it, as
The Ogden Farm Butter" is well
known for its quality and uniformity.

How ~ Fattcn Chickens.

Its hopeless to fatteu chickens while
they are Mt liberty. They must be put
IN proper coop and this, like most
other poultry appurtenance, need not
DO expensive. To fattcn twelve fowls,
coop may be three feet long, eighteen
Inches high, and eighteen inches deep,
made entirely OF bars. No part solid
neither top, sides nor bottom. Discre-
tion must bo used, according to tho size
OF tho chickens put up. They do not
want room indeed, tho closer they are
the better-provided they can all stand
up NJ inc samo time. Care must be
"kcn TO put up such as have been nc.
custOmed to he together, or they will
hIht. If one is quarresome, IL IL bet.
Wr 10 remove ii AT once, as, like other
DAD Xampleo, il soon finds imltators.
A diseased chicken should not be but
up.
The food should be ground oats and
may either be put up in trough or on
nat board running along the front of
'ne coop. 1t may be mixed with either
water or milk-the latter Is the better.
1t should be well soaked, forming pulp
Us loose as can be, provided it does not
run OH the board. They must be well
ieu three or four times day-the first
tiine AS soon after daybreak as NAV be
possible or convenient, and then at In.
terVa's of four hours. Each meal should
De AS much and no more than they can
eat up clean. When they have done
feeding, the board should be wiped. and
some gravel may be spread. 1t causes
them to feed and thrive.
Ailer fortnight of this treatment
you will have good fat fowls. If, how.
ever, there are but five or six to be fat
ted, they must not have as much as
though there were twelve. Nothing is
easier than TO allow them the proper
space, as it is only necessary TO have
two or three pieces of wood to pass be
tween the bars and form PARTITION
Thi7 may also serve when fowls are ur
at different degrees of fatness. This re-
quilc5 attention, or fowls will not keel
fat or healthy.
"A soon as the fowl is sufficiently fat
ted It must bekilled otherwise it will
not get fatter, but will lose flesh. 1
fowls are intended for market of course
they are or may be all fatttd at once
but II for consumption, it is better tt
put them at such intervals as will sui
the time when they will be required
for the table.
When the time arrives for killing
whether they are meant for market OF
otherwise, they should be kept with
out food or water for twelve or fifteen
hours. This enables them to be KEEP
for some time after being killed, ever
in hot weather.

LIME IN CRoPs.-There is said to be
carried off from the soil nine pounds of
lime in twenty y-five bushels of oats, and
fifteen pounds in thirty.eight bushels of

OF lime in two tons Of rye grass, one
hundred and twenty.six pounds in two
tons Of clover, and one hundred and for.
ty pounds In twenty-five tons Of turn.
