faIners' Clubs.

we notice with great satisfaction the
increase of these institutions IN all parts
Of the country, and notably in the New
England States, and the provision they
are making for the entertainment of ru-
raj communities. They are SO we'll man
aged in many places that they contrib
ute a very important element to the So
cial and intellectual life of the people.
They are taking the place of lyceums,
and to some extent of balls and fashion
able parties. Their informal and busi-
ness character makes them attractive to
many who think they have no time for
visiting and social enjoyments. Pomol-
ogy and Horticulture receive a due share
OF attention, and make the meetings &C.
ceptable to villagers, who have only
fruit yards, gardens, and conservatories.
Indeed, the most Aourishing clubs gen.
orally have their center in the village
and the winter meetings are held in
some public hall. Sometimes q course
Of lectures is given which draws full
houses from village and country Often
there are discussions upon questions of
practical interest which bring out the
experience Of the best cultivators in the
town. Exhibitions of fruit and flowers
and exchanges Of gratis and seeds and
eggs are frequent adjuncts of these meet
ings, and not the least important of their
advantages. The educating. power Of
these clubs is very great. They quick
en- thought in many ways. They direct
the attention to the best methods of
husbandry. They serve to economize
time and labor, and introduce new fruits,
flowers, implements, and stock. They
break up the dull routine of the farm
ers' life, and are doing something to
make farm life attractive to the young.
We have often called the attention Of
our readers to the value of these clubs
in past years, and are glad to see that
the good seed sovn is springing up in
so many places. The State Board OF
Agriculture in Connecticut has been do.
ing good work the past winter. in
holding meetings in connection with
these clubs in various parts of the State,
for lectures and discussions. The meet.
ings have generally been confined to one
DAY in place, holding three sessions
Lectures have been given by Professors
johnson and Atwater, and by the Sec
retary, 7. s. Gold, with discussions al
the close. It would do much to popular
ize the work Of our boards of agriculture
if they would follow the example Of
Connecticut in all the States. -Ameri;

AGRICULTURAL CLIPPINGS.

Animals require special care at this
season.
There is no money in poor farming
never has been and never will be.
"A pail Of water with pint of corn
or oat meal stirred in it is a capital
thing for tired horse.
"A cheap memorandum book. in
which you car note down work to be done,
is great advantage-provided you use
it..
1T is the early care of the colt which
makes or mars the horse. The danger
is generally in starving him rather than
over feeding.
The ountry needs big wheat crop
and liberal prices. We hope for both
the present year. There is cheerful
prospect for all good farmers.
DIR. Harting, of Muskegon, Mich,
after making numerous experiments,
has decided that March and April are
the best months for cutting timber fox
building purposes, as it then contains
its lowest percentage Of moisture.
-Plow all land deep except very sandy
soil and sandy sub.soils. Some farmers
tail by sub-soiling too deep at first, thus
bringing up too much new soil. SUBJ
soil only few inches the first year and
let the loosened soil remain in the bot
tom Of the furrow instead of bringing it
up to the surface.
"A new milchs COW about to
drop her calf should be placed in a
comfortable situation, well bedded and
looked to often. Immediately after
calving she should have pailful of wa
ter sli ghtly warmed, with a pint of meal
stirred in it, and she should have water
OF like temperature often, but never
more than a pail at one time, and only
a small quantity of fodder for the first

SEED WHEAT DISTRIBUTION.
Important Recommendations from the
Commissioners.

The following rules for distributing
seed grain to the destitute settlers,
have been adopted by the commission
ers, and the President, DR.. Day, sug-
gests plan for the destruction of the
grasshoppers before they are large
enough to commit their depredations in
any locality. Special attention is called
to the rules and recommendations
RULES FOR DISTRIBUTING SEED GRAIN.
The amount Of money appropriated by
the Legislature for the purpose of furnish
ing seed grain to the destitute settlers in
the frontier counties of this State, being
about one-third of the amount applied for
to the Board of Commissioners appointed
by the Governor for it's distribution, it has
been found necessary to pro-rate the appor-
tionment to the different counties known to
require aid so far as ascertained. The
amount allotted will be turned over to the
chairman Of the relief committees or coun-
y authorities in each county, and in its
distribution the following rules should be
observed as far IS practicable:
l: No grain to be delivreed except on
at6davit Of the applicant in printed receipt.
Where the applicant is unknown to the dis
tributor, and any doubt exist as to his
merits, additional proof may be exacted be-
fore his claim is allowed.
z. This grain is to be used for "seed -
only and the known "destiute" y" should be
first supplied. No greater amount than
fifteen bushels to be supplied to any one
person until all those applying for ten
bushels, or less, have been served, and in
no case shall more than twenty bushels be
delivered to one person.
The receipts should be returned to the
Secretary Of this Board as soon as the dis
tribution is completed, to facilitate q speedy
settlement Of it's accounts.

A Waiting Gentleman.

A GENTLEMAN of our acquaintance,
aged about fifty, took the cars for long
ride. He secured good seat In not
crowded car, and put therein his bag
and various other coAveniences. After
some hours he left his seat for refresh
ments, leaving ample evidence therein
of its occupancy. On returning to the
train he found a highly woman
sitting in his place, and in the midst of
what Western people would call his
plumber. He paused at the entrance and
looked wistfully at the woman.

These were hastily offered, and, as the

entrance, she turned upon him with
some emphasis:

Next day he saw him in Boston. He had
lately returned from a protracted absence
from the country. A lady dreamed of
an old family servant who quit her house
years ago, settled at a distance, and was
as much segregated from her and a
stranger to her thoughts as though in
habiting another sphere of existence.
She called on her within twenty-tour
hours.

he saw her utter dismay; and the old
spirit of fear returned, and this is what
he said as he left the room:

weeks there had been about him les

had whispered sweetest hints of the joy
that might come, and now our lover
thought no other heart had ever known
such supreme happiness
Meantime, June quite forgot her pain,
as she lay with closed eyes reading the
look and tone she had met in the moment
of peril Her cheek grew bright-so
bright with the leaping blood that Mrs.
Marston was anxious lest fever was inn

"June, dear! doesn't your head ache :

For once true love ran smoothly.
The doctor "asked mamma" in his own
frank way The assent was given, but a
conviction of duty required Mrs. Marston
to give him at length catalogue of
Junes peccadiloes and faults, to all Of
which the doctor listened with polite
Impotence.
Fred nearly crushed his hand with a
wringing grasp of congratulation.
"Ah, Rexl old fellow; SO you propose
