Which Kind are YOug

There is a class of farmers who are living
only to grasp more acres. Their farms can
never be large enough, nor can their work.
men or themselves ever do quite enough
work. They cannot be satisfied with the
income of farm, nor could they be with
that of any other business. But those who
understand that the highest object of labor
is not simply to make money, but to pro-
vide the largest amount of the means of i'm
provement and innocent enjoyment the
world affords, can make the pursuit of ag-
riculture furnish more luxuries that really
contribute to our we'll being than any other
employment requiring an equal amount of
capital. Their farms are not so large as to
make slaves of themselves and their sons
and their wives and daughters are not
worn out with incessant drudgery. Their
door yards blossom with flowers, their
tables are supplied with many varieties of
well-grown delicious fruit their houses are
made cheerful by the influence of news
papers, books and music, and taste for
the pure and innocent enjoyments of life is
developed in their children. Here and
there a farmers home exemplifies all the
contentment and happiness possible to a
race doomed to labor and disappointment.

Sheen on Old Mcadows.

Mr.. r. G. Hill, in an address before a
farmers meeting at Norrsville, VT; on
CotswoId sheep, related the following in
connection with the effect of sheep on
meadows
To try the effect of sheep on my moving
land, took lot of about twenty acres of
pretty dry ground that had not beeu
plowed for some fifteen years, but had been
occasionally top-dressed, turning them in
as soon as the grass started after getting
the hay of, and feeding in quite close
In the spring turn them in on pleasant
days until they can go to pasture. This
have done but few years. The grass has
improved both in quality in quantity every
year since thus managed. While cutting
the grass the past season, the hay makers
said they should think there had been a
heavy top-dressing Of ashes applied, the
white clover was SO abundant. l am now
satisfied by my own experience that the
sheep are as much before COWS to keep up
the moving, as they are in the pasture. =

To Purify Rancid Lard.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man writes 1--WE had some forty pounds of
rancid lard, which was valueless as it was.
Knowing the antiseptic qualities Of the
chloride of soda, procured three ounces,
which was poured into about a pailful of
salt water, and, when hot, the lard added.
After boiling thoroughly together for an
hour Or two, itwas set aside to cool. The
lard was taken Off when nearly cold, and
it was subsequently, boiled up. The color
was restored to an alabaster white, and the
lard was as sweet as a rose"
