To MAKE BOYS GooD FARMERs-The
american Agricultrist says-Induce them
to take interest in the farm, in the nipple
ments, in the stock, tell them all your plans,
your success and failures, give them his
tory ofyour life and what you did, and
now you lived when boy; but do not
harp much on the degenerate character of
young men of the present age praise them
when you can, and encourage them to do
still better. Let them dress up in the even
Ing instead of sitting down in their dirty
clothes in dirty room. Provide plenty
OF light Thanks to kerosene, our country
homes can be as brilliantly lighted us the
gas-lit residences in the city. Encutunfage
the neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk
agriculture rather than politics speak of
the Importance of large crops, of good
stock, of liberal feeding, and of the adj
vantage OF making animals comfortable,
rather than of hard times, low prices and
high wages. Above all encourage the
boys to read good agricultural books. Pa
pers are well enough, but an intelligent
boy wants something more. Get him some
agricultural book to study. Read it with
him, and give him the benefit of your ex-
perience and criticism. When he has
mastered this give him another In our
case we owe our love of farming principal
ly to the fact that our father told us every.
thing he was doing on the farm, answering
all the questions, and encouraging rather
than refusing our childlike desire of help.

THE TWELVE BEST RosEs.-A party of
florists have agreed upon the following
twelve Roses as the best for general use in
our gardens being hardy, of various colors,
and beautiful Il. General Washington

scarlet; very large and fine form free
bloomer. 2. Caroline de Sansal-clear del
icate flesh color, becoming blush large and
full. 3. La Reine-brilliant, glossy rose
color; very large; cupped and beautiful.
4. John Hopper-deep rose, with crimson
centre very large and fine form. 5. Victor
verdier-clear rose, globular, fine form and
free bloomer. 6. General Jacqueminot-
rich fery crimson; abundant bloomer.
One of the best for bouquets, but casts its
petals too soon for garden boomer 7.
Baronne Prevost-deep rose, very large
and tine free bloomer vigorous grower
:. Anne de Diesbach-bright rosy carnine;
beautiful form; very large and double 8.
Madame Alfred lie Rougemont--pure white;

10. Triomphe de rExposition-rich deep

" Speed the PIOlC."
Speed i'm Oxen.

1t is matter of great surprise that so
little attention is paid to the quality of
speed in working oxen. Our agricultural
fairs nave been very generally turned into
mere horse races in the rage for fast road
sters. Speed in horseflesh is to a large ex-
tent, the mania of the day. Good draught
horses; sound, steady workers of fine form
and powers of endurance, have had to
stand aside and let the trotters occupy pub
lie attention.
But we have scarcely ever seen the i'm
portance OF cultivating quickness of move
ment In working oxen alluded to. And
yet there are farmers who will follow a
yoke OF oxen around field, blowing, or
drawing loads at snail's pace, now and
then applying the CAD with shout Of 90
long," but making scarcely more than half
dozen rounds of ten acre lot in the
course of day. Oxen are proverbially
slow, but they are capable of improvement
IN this respect as we'll as other animals,
and more attention ought to be paid to cul-
tlVatlng In them quick step. In Oriental
countries, especially in India, they are used
extensively for the road, in place of horses,
ana they may often be seen trotting off at
spanking gait We do not need trotting
oxen, but fast walk is of great import
ance. Double their speed would double
Their value as working cattle.
why may not our agricultural societies
oner prizes for the fastest walking oxen as
well as for the fastest horsesl 1t would
axe some years to rear race of good walk
ers, out 1t is worth an effort, and worthy
OF encouragement from our agricultural So
cleties. One of the strongest objections
10 the use OF oxen on the farm is that they
are SO slow. This objection can be and
ought to be removed.

A LITTLE FARM WELL TILLED.-In the
last volume of the Journal of the ROYAL Ag-
ricultural Society of England there is de-
scribed a farm in Ireland consisting OF 10
acres, occupied by Patrick Clear. The
report describing the condition of this
small farm, for which the tenant pays a
rent of six dollars and quarter per acre,
says the little farm, including cottage, out
houses and yards, is model of neatness.
The crops were grass, oats, roots and barley
in tour-course rotation. There were two
acres in permanent grass, which was kept
for pasture for three COWS and horse.
The young grass for moving is top dressed
with guano and compost. The root crops
were good and were perfectly free from
weeds. The headands of fields were
planted with cabbages, and there was not
vacant spot upon tue farm. The hedges
and gates were in good order. A good
many pigs and a large number of poultry
are raised every year. The calves are fat
tened and sold for veal The stubbles are
SUBSIDIZED and fall plowed. This little but
exccllently managed farm is good illustra-
tion of what may be done upon q very small
piece of land by thorough cultivation.

CANrELoPEs.-This is the way famous
cantelope cultivator gets fine start with
his plants and has early fruit, as early us
any in our markets: 81 dig holes twelvc
inches square and eight or ten inUnes
deep, fill up with well rotted horse manure
to the surface. On this put two inches of
soil. Then take four inch flower pot,
set in the centre, draw the remainder of the
soil around the pot until the soil is about
four inches deep, then giving tho pot
twist round, withdraw it. This leaves a
hole four inches deep by four wide. In this
drop five or six seeds, and cover to the
depth OF hrec-quarters of an inch. Over
this place light of six by eight glass,
pressing it lightly to fit close. then give
no more attention till the plants are touch
ing the glass. Then go through, taking a
small stone raise up one end of the glass
with it; this admits of circulation of mir
over the plants and hardens them. In
about three days more remove the glass en-
tirely. By this time they will be in the
leaf thin out to three plants to a hill.
l draw little fine soil around them, up as
high as the seed leaf and the ork is done"

FORCE OF HABIT STRONG IN DEATH.-
The friends of an old sport hit upon the
following expedicnt of effecting his refor-
nation. Having couple of collins pre-
pared and placed in the family vault, on
his being brought home one night in a
senseless condition, they conveyed him
thither and slowed him snugly away in
one of them, member of the family tax
ing his position in the other to watch his
movements After remaining for some time
encased in his "prson house," he aroused
from his stupor, and in astonishment at his
new residence exclaimed:
"Am dead9"
"Certainly," rejoined his sepulchral
friend.
"How long have been here ?" he ask
ed.
about three years. was the answer.
Sand how long have you been here ?" he
again inquired.
"Seven years." responded his compan-
ion.
"Well, as you have been dead longer
than have, suppose you know the best
place where spook can get something to
drink"

pay the cost. The evidence clearly showed
that the aim was good one, and that il

he would have been struck. therefore

EBB-TIDE.

EBB-TlDE.
On a summer eve, when the sun was low,
An old man sat in the golden glow,
The waves were washing the sandy stones,
And calm and sweet were their languid tones
He looked, and listened, and softly sighed,
AS he heard the voice Of the ebbing tide.
He had passed his three-score years and ten,
He had smiled and wept like other men;
Brother and parent, friend and wife,
Had drifted over the sea of life
To the shore where the saints abide
But he was left by the ebbing tide.
Left all alone with the dreamy past;
A battered hull on the Single cast,
No more to ride on the seething ma !;
Nor feel the shock of the storm again;
He lay at peace by the ocean side,
To wait the coming of Deaths great tide.
That solemn tide, with its voiccless roll,
Shall bear on its waves the weary soul
To the blessed land, where the angel throng
Will hail its coming with holy song,
And the home of the faithful heart shall be
A place of rest by the Crystal Sea!
