One of the most important errors in
education is the idle vanity that looks
for everything before its time, and will
have fruit before flowers. in order to en-
joy the establishment of the guests at
seeing the table decked with the eviden-
ces of summer when the earth without
is covered with ice and snow. Such
things are always pleasing to the eye,
even when the growth isnot natural. A
precocious child, however. seldom grows
up into q valuable man.-Jdcobs.

Cooling off suddenly when heated
sends many of our farmer boys to an
early tomb. 1t is often q matter of sur
prise that SO many farmers' boys and
girls die Of consumption. 1t is thought
that abundant exercise in the open air is
directly opposed to that disease. So it
is; but judgment and knowledge of the
laws of health, are essential to the pres.
ervation of health under any circumstan-
ces. When over-heated, cool off slowly
never in draught of air. Gentle
tanning, especially If the face is wet with
cold water, will soon produce delightful
GOODNESS, which leaves no disagree cable
results.

CURING HAMs.-A good way is to rub
the hams with fine salt and sugar and lay
in dry place. After five or six days
rub again, putting on some new salt as
the old becomes dry and does not pene-
trate. At the end of eight or nine DAYS
apply the salt again. Use sugar only at
the first rubbing. Keep the salt on them
until the shank looks white and the skin
draws down tight; when this is the ap-
pearance the hams are ready to smoke

sheep ~ the Farm.

Sheep are undervalued by the mass o.
land holders as means of keeping up tn
fertility of the soil. and putting money
into the pockets of the farmers. The
moment one begins to talk Of sheep hus

look for WOO. quotations. if wool wa.

might as well look for wheat quota ton.
alone when there is talk about the profit
Of farming.
Sheep on a farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great "a.
pidity. They are the best of farm scav.
engers, cleaning a field" as no other
class of animals will. They give back
to the farm more in proportion to what
they take from it than any other animal,
aud distribute it better with a view to
the future fertility of the soil. Prove
this? There is no need of proof to those
who have kept sheep, and know their
habits and the profits they yield. To
prove it to those who have not the expe.
rience it is necessary that they should
try the experiment or accept the testi-
m'ny of al experienced shepherd.
But the live stock of farm should not
necessarily, be sheep exclusively. Cattle
horses, and swine have their resi- ective
places in the, farm economy. How MANY
of each to keep is a question that locality

thing ought not to he forgotten, that the
more stock a man keeps on his farm, the
more grass and grain it ought t., aaI, if !
managed, it will grow. The
rates OF increase will correspond with
the business tact, technical and practical
and skill of the hu sandman,

ECONOMY IN THE USE OF TEA.-The
superintendent of a work house at VOL
hampton. England according to the Pail
Mall Gazette, has discovered method of
making more than the usual quantity of
tea from any given quantity of the leaf.
1t has been satisfactorily investigated by
number of persons. The whole system
consists in steaming the leaf before steep
ing. By this process fourteen pints of
good quality may be brewed from one
ounce of the tea. The method of steam
ing is not described, bnt any smart
house wife can devise one for herself, and
if the result Is q good one it will be
paying experiment.

HAVE A PURPOSE. Don't start off in
life as sheep dog does. without knowing
where you are going to. Load for the
game you are hunting for. 1t is as easy
to be man as mouse. 1t is as easy t.
have friends as enemies. Every one can
see something. There are railroads to
construct, inventions to be studied,
ideas to advance, countries to conquer,
offices to be filled, wealth and position to
acquire, anlme to win, heaven to reach.
Yes, there are lots OF work to do, and
each should do his share.

STEP BY STEP.-Life is made up of little
things. He who travels over a continent
must go step by step. He who writes a
book must do it sentence by sentence; he
who learns a science must master it fact
by fact-principIe by principle. What is
the happiness of our life made ur of!
Little courtesies, little kindnesses, pleas
ant words. genial smiles, a pleasant letter
good wishes and good de, ds. One in q
million, once in a lifetime, may do a
heroic action but the little things that
make up our life come every day and
every hour.

Strawberry Calture.

EDITOR RURAL WORLD: No straw
berry grower need expect good ciop o
berries, unless he spreads good crop o
wheat OF oat straw over his vines. Bet
ter pay ten dollars per ton than let them

iagc tried the experiment of leaving one
bed, or land, without any mulching and
there were few berries-hardly worth
gathering. The patch which was
mulched, produced a fine crop, the yield
being near one hundred bushels per
acre. Had I not put on q good coat Of
straw, the yield on two and half acres
would not have been more than thirty or
thirty-five bushels. The experiment
proved that my time and cost of straw
were we'll paid for. The quantity of
straw used per acre should be about two
and half tons the first season. After
the first season, would use one ton.
haul my straw over each bed, and throw
off in piles in the middle of the bed, ten
steps apart Formerly left roads wide
enough for wagon every three beds. 1
found this was q waste of land and doub-
lie the labor to scatter the straw-hence,
the past season 1 adopted the plan Of
going over each bed with q wagon and
team, the rows of plants were not dam
aged in the least, the ground being dry
enough not to hurt the plants.
In spring, as soon as plants begin to
grow, l rake the straw into middles, and
leave it until the crop is taken of: Some
growers advocate raking the straw en-
tirely off the beds, and cultivate one
time before fruiting; but I do not ap-
prove Of this, having seen the troubles of
one of our neighbors who tried this way.

dirty berries for market which returned
no pay for his extra pains and labor.
The ground being hoed up loose and
light, made the rain scatter dirt all over
his berries that had no straw around the
plants. My plan is to rake the straw in
the middle of the rows, and around the
plants. If weeds come before berries are

BRINE FOR PRESERVING BUTTER
The Duchess Farmer says: To three
gallons of brine strong enough to ,ar an
egg add quarter Of pound of nice
white sugar, and one tablespoonful Of
saltpetre. Boil the brine and when it is
cold strain carefully. Make your butter
into rolls, and wrap each roll separately
in a clean white muslin cloth, tying
up with string. Pack large jar full,
weigh the butter down, and pour over
the brine until all is submerged. This
will keep really good butter perfectly
sweet and fresh whole year. Be care.
:ul not to put upol ice, butter you wish
10 keep any length of time. In the
summer when the heat will not admit of
batter being made into rolls, pack close.
iy in small jars, and using the same brine
allow it to cover the butter to the depth
of at least four inches. This excludes
the air and answeres very nearly as we'll
as the first method suggested.
