July hoeing corn in his garden.

Sharpen the Hoe.

"As dull as hoe" is an old favorite
comparison, and it seems cruel to rob it q
its afSretime poetry. But free use of the
file or grindstone is as rough on the com.
parison as the keen hoe is on the weeds
We have seen hoes, that were worn out
never having been sharpened, because q
sharp hoe wears out; although the extra
labor in day needed to destroy the weeds
or move the soil with a dull instrument
would equal the cost of new one. Ger
tainly it is poor economy to save the wear
of the hoe, of necessity only half killing
the weeds and making heavy toll of other
wise light work: A file, even an old one
cleaned with some diluted acid, will an
swer every purpose, or grind-stone if
one has got no file. Never mind if stones
or gravel do dull, sharp hoe carefully
used will accomplished more than the
noisy grubbing of dull one. We take
pleasure in seeing the hoe daily narrow
up and the corners gradually round off,
for honorable age and constant service ben
efts the hoe, making the blade thinner
and smaller. Sharpen the hoe then-frst,
to save the hard labor; second, to do neat
er work third, to keep it bright; finally,
to have the pleasure of seeing it grow old
in the service.

How to Manage a Lot Of Calves,

"Young Farmer has a lot! of yearlings,
which he wants to feed as cheaply as pos
sible on corn stalks and corn. He wants
information on the subject. We once fed
twenty-four head of calves and yearlings
in the following manner: A shed, fifty
feet long, was furnished with feeding
trough to which access could be had from
the front. The trough was divided into
partitions, 80 that the animals could not
crowd each other, and each had a feeding
place from which it could not be elected
by the others. Corn-stalks were cut and
wetted and mixed with corn-meal and
wheat-bran, ground together in equal
parts, and sailed; and half bushel pei
head was fed twice day. Each animal
had two quarts per day of the meal and
bran. Plenty of straw was thrown into
the shed, and none removed until spring,
when there was three feet in depth of well-
rotted manure which had not frozen at>all,
taken out, and which paid for all thefeed
the calves consumed. Regular currying,
and exercise in the yard through the day
when they wished, kept them in good
health. We know of no better plan.-Ag-

Gte farm.
Spreading Manure in Winter.

- I
We are asked what advantage there is
in spreading manure on frozen ground
It depends much upon the condition of
the ground. If it is covered with grass,
either pasture or meadow, there is a
great advantage in more than one respect.
The surface is protected from sudden
changes during winter, and the first thaw
carries the manure to the roots, where it
causes a vigorous growth early in the
spring. If the ground is plowed for a
spring crop, it is also benefited by having
the manure ready to be absorbed by the
soil whenever the ground thaws, the seed
as soon as it sprouts, finds what it needs
close at hand. On sod ground to be plow-
ed for corn in the spring, the same advan-
tages are gained as in the case of grass
lands, and the manure is on the spot in
time, which in late season it might not
be, for want of time or improper condition
of the ground, But after all, it, is far bet
ter to get the manure upon the ground be-
fore it is frozen, if possible; the earlier in
the fall, the better. Winter top-dressing
of grain is only poor substitute at best
for proper and timely preparation in the
fall, and rarely pays for the trouble, unless
it may be in the advantage gained by the
spring sown clover.-Anaer. Agriculturist.

Farmers Children.

Farmers children are the hope and the
life of nation. If they grow up intelli-
gent, moral, patriotic, there is hope for the
country for fee institutions. Seven-tenths
Of our children are born on the farm
They have the preponderance in numbers,
as well as they have in strength and infiu-
ence. They grow up hearty, robst, active,
industrious. They become our most &C
tive business mem In our cities and towns.
Cur cities would soon degenerate, were it
not for the fresh blood infused into them
from the country yearly. Go to the most
enterprising and successful business men
in St. Louis to-day, and ask them where
they were born; and they will tell you
upon the farm-perhaps in cabin. Ask
your most successful lawyers, ministers
and physicians where they were born, and
they will tell you in the country-not in
the city.
There is more in farmers children than
most people look fer; and there might be
much more still. Do you ask howl We
will tell you. By furnishing them better
facilities for education. It is the mind
and the morals that make the man. The
man must be educated to become useful
The ignoramous does not make an impress
sion upon the. body polite. Ignorance
does not rule, but intelligence does. If
we would have society become better, we
must. educate our children. Farmers
children are educated chiefly in the com
mon; school: Good common schools are
doing more for the people, for the country,
for good morals, than any other instrument
tally. Theylmust be encouraged. Those
having them in their keeping must emf
ploy the best teachers, visit them, give
