Ic is related of an English farmer that
he condensed his practical experience into
this rule g
sFccd your land before it is hungry,
rest it before it is weary; and weed il
before it is FOUL HeH
Those words should be written in the
heart of every man who desires to farm.
and may go far to answer, in his mind.
the question so frequently and SO anxious
ly asked, does farming pay! The ruie
demands the exercise of the qualities
needful for success in every occupation
untiring watchfulncss and prudent care.
knowledge, forethought, energy and econ
omy, regularity. attention to little thiags,
personal supervision, and observation
this latter Il power requiring education
and constant exercise.
1t may not be altogether amiss TO say
that this power of observation, although
named last, is perhaps the most important
to farmer. ee.si 4.g 4fw
IN this wonderous world, this panors-
ma. as it has been called. of thought and
2ction, of forces, currents, growth. decay,
special beauties are presented to the agri-
cultural, hut, alas while may sec few OBJ
serve.
Millions see only and never acquire the
habit Of detecting goodjn what they see
so rs to use it, or of evil so rs to shun IT.
1t is this power OF observation, trimmed.
exercised, which in agriculture has done
so much; it has reclaimed exhausted
lands, fertilized barren soil. improved
tools and machinery, and rniscd the value
Of stock.
Tc this may be traced the development
of agricultural chemistry. The phenomc-
ma of vegetation and the chemical consti-
tuition ofsubstanccs had previously been
observed. 90
To young men about to enter on the
noble profession of agriculture, the fore.
going is of value
Too many enter on its pursuit with the
idea thatit is eaeily attained, that success
is an affair very much of chance, Of wealth
er, Of cheap or dear land. or Of market
values for products.
While doubtless, there is an element Of
truth in such thoughts, 1t ought to be ever
borne IN mind that no occupation requires
more constant exercise Of mind and body;
that the better educated the farmer IL.
the more he maintains and increases his
knowledge, the more he becomes acquaint-
ed with natural and physical science, the
more his reasoning faculties will be a.
| oused, and his ability to Observe increase.
His observations should be recorded
and st udicd.
There is great practical utility in the
we'll known saying of Captain Cutie.
"when found, make note Of"
With this enhanced power to observe,
and to reason on the matters observed,
the farmer will be in better position not
only to follow the simple rule already
given but by taking avail Of any Of the
adventitious circumstances named he will
elevate his noble profession and himself.

SAY NO.
BY DAISY DEAN.

When temptation dark assails thee,
And the tempter whispers low,
Rouse yourself to noble action,
Trust in heaven and say No;
For there's poison rank and deadly,
In the red wines rudy glow,
You can save world of sorrow
BY your simply saying No.
Young man, there's your dear, old mother
Would you bring her grey head low,
In the dust of shame and sorrow,
Caused by your not saying No?
You can save her many heartache,-
Many apang she does not know;
You can save your name, your manhood,
If you only WILL say No.
But you say ''that sounds so shabby
And so mean where'er L go;
And the men will call mc BOBBY
i'll always answer No.
All! young man; your pleas poor one
Better, far, that it were so
Than to PROVE yOursclfa coward.
With no courage TO say No.

we shall keep large and frst-class stock

Black Hogs.

A correspondent of. the Michigan Far
mer says: The principle objection 20 the
Essex and Berkshire breed of hogs l find
to be their color. Now as Youatt justly
observes, this is not even ''skin Deep
The coloring matter will be found secret
ed between the true skin and the cpidem-
ic or outer skim If care il taken in scald-
ing black hogs they can be dressed as white
as any hogs 1t is.a well known princi-
pie that all black substances absorb heat.
Hence, in dressing black hogs. the water
should not be so hot as in scalding white
ones. If this simple rule is observed
there will be no difficulty in dressing
black hogs. Instead of this being an OBJ
jection Iregard it as an advantage, for
the skin of black hogs will always be
found to be smooth and glossy. free from
eatancous corniption@. and alway~clcar.' .
