Hints TO Farmers.

This is the season that the agricpli
tural journals and otherpublicatiohs
abound in timely, hints to farmers,
as to the best manner IN Z which to
employ their leisure shUurs. We
like to see this; there is nothing
pleases an old agriculturist, who has
titled the soil for fifty or sixty years,
SO much as to pick up his faSorite
newspaper or magazine, and find his
daily labor all &bloeked iaout' # r
him by the skilful hand of q city
chap, who, in all probability never
saw a farm, and whose knowledge
of the bdckwheat crop isconfned to
the griddle cakes, that he consumes
at the breakfast table. We have.
mingled a considerable with the
farming fraternity ourselves, and
speak rom.experiepee when we state,
that the old farmer always acts irhf
-mediately on the, Suggestions be-
finds in the papers. He can hardly
wait from one week TO. another for
his instructions, and when he does re-:
ceive them, he starts at once for the
barn, OF woodshed, and with the
"hints" pinned on his coat-tail, Or
some other convenient place Of re-
ference proceeds to Garry them out
in practice. Though not wishing TO |

yet to satisfy the popular and con
stantly increasing demand among

How WOULD You ADvIsE.-Were q
young man to come to you, moderate
drinking christian, and say, 81 am
now starting ont in lite and would
like advice from those older than
myself. What had l better do,
join the teetotallers, or Join in the
fashionable circles that tip the social
glass 7" You would probably tell
him one Of three things: "To live
while he lives" and enjoy conviyiaI-
tiles of life: to join the total abstin-
ence society, or do as he pleased.
The first would involve the posi-
bility of his being a drunkard, the
probability of his being a fashIOna-
bic tipler getting only . little 'tightp
now and then, and the certainty of
his spending a good deal of his mon
ey, more than thrO,on ds0dy and set
ting bad example to others. The
second would surely direct his feet
in the path of safety from drunken
ness, the. prolific cause of crime,
and be more likely to throw him m
to good society. The third would
show such an indifference on your
part for the young mans welfare,
that you could not have the face to
profess the christian religion, should
you give it. Then it would come to
this: be a teetotaller, or moderate
drinker.
What advice would you give !?
Don't dodge this question, my broth
er. Think it over carefully and an

"One of the countless repartees Of
the late Charles Chapman-and he

part of some blatant, half-drunken
fellow in the crowd, in the midst of
one of Mr.. Chapman's speeches, at a

and throw them around the back

them when, you step outside OF the

where to look for any implement

There is nothing which so tends 10

just where to look for it.

Paint the furniture, touch up the
family portraits, it makes them more
durable, and if the expression of the
countenance is lost, your visitors will
charge it to the cold masters" Paint
the door knobs, and everything else
around the house that you handle
frequently. If you have any paint
left, 90 out to the barn and practice
there spot up your horses until they
look like the 'scalico" horses that are
the pride of the circus ring every
summer. If you are skilful and
understand the lights and shades of
colnrs. frescoe the Pig-peu, stripe the
tails of the pigs, and adorn the house
cat with some color that win make
her match the furniture. There is
no end TO the work that a farmer
may accomplish in the winter, or
during the wet season, with paint
pot and brush and at a nominal ex-
pense.
Take down the old tea pot from
the top Of the cupboard, and get
your packages OF seeds. ready for
planting. In the evening set your
boys to whiting out oats from
hickory chips to sell to your neigh
bors. A little practice will enable
a boy of average intellect to manu-
factnre oats. that any. horse will
"whinner" for, and which sell readi-
ly at IS cents per bushel.
Their is much other work that
should be attended to by the farmer
during the winter, but the above
hints, if faithfully carried out, will
keep him busy for few days, or if
be has a large family of boys and
wants to keep them busy, let one
take the old hoop skirts, out of the
garnet, and spread them over the
kitchen garden as light top dress-
ing, and incentive to profanity, when
hoeing time arrives. Another might
spend a month or two trying to
drown the rats on the premises with
'Babcock Extinguisher," and in
selecting such healthy cock reaches
for fancy stock, as it would be de-
sirable to keep. As the spring time
advance there are other means of
-fooling away precious time may be
mentioned hereafter.
