Care of Lambs.

Sheep are not the only farm
stock that have retained or ad-
vanced their actual value in the
market during the past year. 1t
is, therefore, for the farmers in
terest that he carefully watch
his ewes and lambs at this seas
on. Ewes need better care than
wethers, and should be remov-
ed to pens where they can be
looked after daily. As they near
the hour of lambing, they should
again be removed to a warm,
dry pen, and watched closely.
If the lamb comes weakly, ii
should have a mouthful or two
of warm milk until it is active
enough to suck. 1T should be
come chilled, let it be removed
at once, and warmed and fed un-
til restored. But there will be
few weak lambs if ewes are ted
previously with good clover hay,
and a few roets and a handful of
oats daily. No hogs should be
permitted near pen of lambs !;
and the tanner and more gentle
sheep have been made, the less
danger there will be of the eve
resenting any interference, eth
er with herself, or the lamb, and
disowning it in consequence.

Keeping Hams.

Farmers families are often
troubled about how to keep hams
in the summer time. We have
tried a good many way, sand have
always failed in keeping them
nicely. The smeke-house, though
all hidden away in among the
apple trees that lay their 1.-THE
limbs lovingly over, above, and
around it, is still to warm ; the
wide roomy cellar toe damp, and
the shop, though cool and airy,
being the large third-story Of the
"old house, is too light.
Last spring, in very despera-
ton, sliced as for frying, scald-
ed, and packed in jars, and pour
ed melted lard over.
This is a good way for keep
ing, but it is troublesome, unless
one has only small quantity to
look after.
Then, in the beautiful summer
time, when we should eat cool
crisp, tender things from the
garden, butter with the dewy
drops all over it, cream, sweet
and delicious custards, fruits,
|jellies, curds, and white bread,
it is not very appetising job
to get ham ready for the table
that is covered with grease. 1t
gives a flavor and feel OF grease
to all the poetry that the regal
summer, crowned with flowers,
brings to us. But, with all my
woman's way OF telling a story,
| am coming to point.
A good neighbor, who knows
all about it, tells me that he al
ways packs hams in the early
spring time, before flies come, in
a box, with all the interstiees be-
tween the hams filled up some
coarse, dry salt that he has used
for many years for the same pur-
pose; salt that came out of fish
barrels. He washed and dried
it thoroughly first. He keeps
the box in his barn in a cool,
airy place.

Solving the Difficulty.

A grandson of the. Governor
of Virginia, a child of some -four
or five summers, was on a visit
to his maternal grandfather, who
is a wealthy land owner in Ohio.
One day, after making his first
visit to Sabbath-school, and be-
ing duly impressed with the re-
ligious lessons taught there, his
grandfather took him down on
the farm to show and gather the
fruit OF a large walnut tree, (which
was ripe and ready for the har-
vest. On the way the little fel-
low, with the philosophy which
''reads sermons in stones," said,
"Grandpa, who do all these
fields and woods belong tor
aWhy," said the matter of-fact
gentleman, "to me;'
NO, SIR emphatically respond
ed the child; "they belong to
God.n
The grandfather said nothing
till they reached the rich-laden
tree, when he said:
"Well, my boy, whom does
this tree belong to?"
This was a poser, and for a
time the boy hesitated; but cast
ing a longing look upon the nuts
he replied:
well, grandfather, the tree be-
longs to God, but the walnuts
are ours..'

Farm and Household.
Hints to Housekeepers.

Never allow a door to creak
for want of oil, or TO shut hard
so as to require slamming to
make, it latch. For this purpose,
pass around once a week at
some regular time, say Saturday
evening or Monday morning,
with a drop of oil on a feather,or
the tip of the finger, and give
every rubbing part, latch, hinge,
ETC., a touch. The door and
walls will last longer than when
necessarily pounded and batter
ed, and the disagreeable noise
will not make sick persons worse
or annoy well ones.

greatly.
Ventilation would be more
easily accomplished and more
certainly performed, and rooms
kept with purer and healthier
air, if windows were made to slide
easily. If not hung by pulleys
and weights, add good freely
working catches. Never permit
a broken pane in a house.
Cellars should be kept con
stantly clean-as much so as
your parlor. 1t is the easiest

~ Everybody's Room.

Not long ago, We stopped for
an hour at the parsonage Of a
worthy brother, who was kind
enough to insist on displaying to
us its various attractions He
had q right to be proud of them
for the design OF the parsonage,
and the labor of begging the
money to build it for his congre-
CATION, and the work of superin
tending it, had all fallen on the
pastors shoulders as is mostly
the case. After taking us
through the commodious, well
lighted and well-ventilated apart
ments, he said "The choisesl
room Of all was yet to be seen"
He then opened the door to a
neat and pleasant little room
just over the hall, which, on look
ing in we noticed..contained but
three things chair, a table,
and a bible. 'This," said he, sis
eur room for prayer.7z Any one,
at any time, can retire bere for
private devotions. 1t is always
here consecrated to that object,
and used for no other-always
inviting those who need it to
prayer and communion with God;
and,n said he, sour experience is,
that is the most popular and
most used room in the whole
house." Why nots Such a
room would soon become a Beth
ell to old and young. Hallowed
by the most precious. associations,
the very atmosphere would sug-
gest tranquility and help. 1t
would soon become the dearest
spot in the whole house, re-
minder of duty, and help in do
ing it.
We recommend that whenever
anyone builds house hereafter
that a room be provided "fer
everybody" And it would be a
good thing if those whose house
is already built should set apart
from common use, some conse-

The Folly of Parents.


One of the most distinguished
teachers says that in the case of
two tho1sand or more boys who
have passed under his care, no
parent has ever forgiven him if
he said, ''Yeur boy is not quick
or bright /; but he is the thor
oughly pure, and true, and good"
They did not forgive him for say
ing so, because they took it Tor
granted that the goodness could
be attained in any odd hour or
so /; but the brightness or quick
ness seemed of much larger i'm
portance. On the other question
if the teacher said, "Your boy
learns every lesson, and recites
it well he is at the head of his
class, and will take any place he
chooses in any school," nine par
ents, he says, out of ten are sat
isfied, though he should have to
add, 81 wish l was as sure that
he was honest, pure, and unset
fish. But in truth, the other boys
do not like him; and / am afraid
there is something wrong" To
that warning, he says, people
reply, "Ah, well, 1 was a little
wild myself when l was a boy.
That vii. all come right in time"
sWill come right" as if that
were the one line of life which
took care of itself, which needed
no training; the truth being that
this is the only thing which re-
quires eternity for its correction,
if the work of time have not been
eagerly and carefully, and with
prayer, wrought through.-Ola

Cleaning up the Yards.


1t is little singular, that even
among most of our successful far
mers, a certain class of work is
regarded as of an optional nature
and its performance as a mascu-
line virtue. 1t is taken up "be-
tween showers when it is too
wet for the spring blowing, piec-
ed half reluctantly to the closing
portion of a broken day; or in
the event Of such interruptions
failing to turn the channels of
