Eho Secret OF Ii.

An old farmer being asked why his
boys stayed at home while others did
not, replied that it was owing to tho
fact that he always tried to make home
pleasant for them. He furnished them
with useful and attractive reading; and
when night comes and the days labor is
ended, instead Of running with other
boys 10 the railway station and adioin-
ing towns, they gather around the great
lamp and becomes absorbed in their
books and papers. The boys were still
at home when the elder was twenty-one.
while those who were furnished with no
reading at home sought city life and
city dissipation as soon as they were
seventeen or eighteen. All will do well
to heed this testimony of farmer who
has known how hard it is to struggle for
a footing on a free soil without capital,
and how valuable and comparatively
cheap are the aids which good reading
brings to him. In this age of general
intelligence the mind must be catered to
and books and papers furnished; and
not only this, bnt cheap and artistic
chrome pictures can also be brought TO
use in making home attractive.

Agricultural stations in Germany

Twenty years ago there was founded
in Germany some institutions which
have been Of immense service to apricul-
turc, not only in that country, but
throughout Europe. The first was ere
ated at MoeCkcm, little town near
Leipsic, in 1854 by Dr. Crusius Won
Sahlis, on a farm which he cultivated
1t was m agromOnic, or agricultural
station, where there should be constant
observations and reports made and sent
out to all parts of the world. These
stations increased very rapidly in num-
Der, so that to-day there are forty in
Germany and Austria. Italy, France
and Switzerland copied so valuable an
institution, and Middle and Southern
Europe is now literally sown with the
stations.
The enlarged aim and scope of these
stations is of a quadruplc character.
First come examination into and expert
ences with animal and vegetable prOduc-
tons. Under this head are understood
the different branches of vegetable and
animal physiology, and of meteOrology
with regard to vegetation. The second
division includes the propagation by
oral teaching OF agrOnOmic science.
Studies in the laboratory are also in
cluded, and experiments are made in the
open fields. Advice is given to farmers
in all the sections round about the sta
ton. The third division comprehends
the publication Of reports of the labors
and experiments at each station, and re-
gular annual reports; and the fourth
embraces special analyses of soil and
water, Eoue of the agricultural sta
tions control the issue Of seeds almost
entirely, and the farmers accept their
dictum as absolute. Many of these use
full institutions receive a large subsidy
