The expenses of conducting a farm
| are about the same whether it yields much
| or little. It costs about as much to har-
| vest half ton Of hay per acre as two tons,
| and costs as much to cultivate an acre OF
| corn that produces ten bushels, as it does
| one that produces 100, besides the use of
land, cost OF fencing, care, management,
etc. Seek then to produce heavy crops,
for there is where the profit lies.-Prairte

| Since the middle of December the
winter has been exceptionally warm, and
MANY farmers have not been able TO fill
their ice houses. But if they will only
avail themselves at once OF the next cold
term they may be able to secure enough
for home consumption. As soon as the
popds or streams are able to bear the oxen
and sled, the ice will be fit to GU; and
when it is stored in the ice-hOuse dozen
or more pailfuls of water can be poured
over it at night, and this will freeze it into
one solid mass. We know farmer who
filed his ice-house by conducting water
from his pump or aqueduct into it by
means of small eaves-spout, and the
water froze into q mass every night

--Overwork often produces nervous
ness and the cure is rest Many people
think they must go on killing themselves
by slow degrees in this way, and when
they have succeeded, lockers on are no
wiser than before, but keep on taxing
themselves beyond their strength and pay
ing the penalty. OF all the causes of
nervousness the most prolific is to01ry If,
having done our best, we could only leave
the consequences to the Higher Powers
if We could but be content to take life as
it is and make the most of it; to do the
duty Of the hour promptly and with
fidelity and think no more about it; to
open our hearts to all the gentle Influences
of nature that WOO us, and enjoy without
murmur or question the good and the evil
that fall to our lots, confident that they
are alike beneficial, to live Alright In the
present and leave the future to God, what
world Of trouble and anxiety We would
be saved! Plenty of sleep, plenty ct air,
plenty of food, and an Astounding trust in
the goodness Of God will keep those who
enjoy these blessings from the tor1ures of
nervousness.-N. Y. Tribune.
