Wastes Oa the Farm.

The greatest Of wastes on the farm, is
in the not using Of our brains +; the great
est because at the bottom of all other
wastes. A little thinking often saves much
labor. After accomplishing almost any
piece of work, the most of US can look back
and see how we could have improved on
it, if we had but thought. AS we review
our crops Of this year, we see how they
could have been easily increased,
had we only thought. The ditch we
dug through our meadow was not done
in the most economical way. We dug
too deeply at first, and did not allow for
the settling of the land, Hence waste
Of labor. We omitted buying an imple-
ment that would have saved nearly its
cost in one years use, until we had spent
much in trying to accomplish our work
without it. Here was another waste.
We carry water-pipe too near the sur
face to save the expense of digging
trench Of a safe depth, and the winters
frosts necessItates replacement of the
pipe and an additional digging. Ger
tainly, waste here. We allowed the
weeds to grow on one piece of land,
not thinking to what proportions they
would grow by the time the crops were
too far advanced to admit the hoe. A
waste here which might have been obvia-
ted. And so on, wastes, little and big,
everywhere, al arising from not thinking
sufficiently waste, because not neCeSsa.
ry and easily obviated We omit the
ordinary wastes from neglect, from
laziness, from want OF appreciation of
CLEANLINESS aud tho.oughncss the wastes
from ogr stock, from our manure heap,
from our household, Verify, little
thought will save to the farmer much,
and the saving through his means, even
on a small farm, will represent a cGnsid-
cradle capital. The wastes arising from
ignorance can very readily be diminished,
and are III large part inexcusable !;
those arising from carelessness are not
deserving of sympathy, The farmer, as
we'll as the business man, must use bust
ness principles to secure the largest sue
cess, and the one should be as careful of
the outgoes as the other.

Scientific Agriculture.

The report on commercial fertilizers,
by Professor p. Collier, member of the
Scientific Commission of the Unned
States to the international Exhibition at
Vienna in 1873, has appeared, in the
form of pamphlet of sixty-seven pages,
and is replete with interesting matter. 1t
gives large number of statistics con-
corning the trade in fertilizers in Europe
and America, their sources, character,
value and cost.
The report of Professor Collier coin
cides fully with the common experience
IN Europe and in this country in showing
that there Is 4 great deal of fraud in
commercial fertilizers; that at the same
time The bulk of what is in the market is
good and that the only method to pre-
vent frauds. enable the farmer TO make
sure of getting reliable wares, and at the
same time to improve the general quality
of the wares as sold, rests in control sys

considerable number of lowgrade and

KarrEa Life.

One Of the compensations Of farm
not measured by dollars and cents, ex-
lists in a feeling Of independence and Sc
curity which no one can possess more
satisfactorily than a good farmer upon a
good farm, well stocked and tree from
debt. No reverse or TeYulslon OF AT
fairs can touch him. In the worst OF
times the world must eat and be clothed,
and the farmer feeds and clothes the
world. His market can never fan.
There Is, in addition to this, the vast
satisfaction of possessing IN security
something which he can improve and
adorn and spend his lnbors OF love
upon. 1t pays to live and breathe; So
cal pleasures pay; the attachments OF
the family pay; the culture derived
from the study Of books, of men, and OF
the beauties and mysteries of nature
paws: and all these the farmer may en-
ioy, if he WILL in a greater degree than
the majority Of ether men. tie may
labor harder, and he exposed to heat
and cold and rains and storms, but the
sleep Of the laboring man Is sweet 10
him he brelthes the purest air, he en-
lows the easy digestion Of his food, which
consists of the best and freshest the
fields. gardens and orchards yield. lie
may lind tongues in trees, books IN the
running brooks, sermons in the stones,
and good in everything" In all these
he may count his profit, and the farmer
who ignores all but the money he can
gather at the end Of the year. lives but a
small portion of his life, and that the
worst. 1t is all that makes the posses
sion of a piece of land a passion inherent
III the disposition Of a man, although he
NAV not fully recognize II, and 1t may
lie latent in him and it IS this which
forces the successful man to seek recred-
ton upon farm, and the disappointed
one to find solace and resources there.
Just at this time there are more men
than ever looking to a farm as a more
certain possession and to farming as q
more securely profitable and more deslr-
able occupation than BUSINESS promises
TO be in the near future. Some o. the
best and most successful farmers are
those who have been driven to the farm
as a refuge from business reverses, and
many such are now daily leaving the
cities to find homes in the country.
Both for these and those vino are ma
tive and to the manner born, We would
point out what seems TO las really the
most profitable results of farm life, and
that which to US has been productive OF
more comfort and enjoyment than all the
pecuninay results. No ole suPposes for
a moment that farmers can live or enjoy
life without at least as fair an equIva-
lent for their labor as others can secure,
bat it is great mistake made by many
farmers. that many other industries of
fer higher compensation for labor than
theirs, and they forget that much that
they enjoy without cost is absolutely
necessary to the comfort of every man,
and is purchased dearly by others; the
value of this never enters into the calcu
lation of farmers profts.-New York

YanLce Baked Beans.

Pick over and wash quart of good
white beans Soak them over night III
cold water enough to stand two inches ON
top OF the beans. Ia the morning put
them in fresh cold water in a kettle on
the back Of the stove and let them par
boil. | drain them out of that water
when they are cooked enough for the
skins to break by blowing them. After
draining, put them In beanpot, one OF
the old fashioned New England kind is
the best, but if you haven't one and can't
procure one, use tall crock about eight
.ches high and six inches across the
op ming. Such one is almost as good
as a small necked hean-pot. After the
beans are in the pot put a piece Of
salt pork as large as the palm of your
hand or piece of butter same size, and
an even tablespoonful of salt on top of
them. Cover with boiling water, and
bake in a moderately heated oven from
breakfast time one morning throughout
the day evening, and leave them stand
ing in the oven all night and they are
ali ready to heat by the breakfast fire.
They must be looked after once in two
or three hours until the middle of the
afternoon, and hot water put on them
often enough to keep them moist The
last few hours they will take care OF them
selves, and in the morning will be as
delicious dish of baked beans as you'll
ever want to eat. If necessity requires
a very hot fire for other purposes, put a
tin plate on top Of the crock, nearly GOV,
ering it. Sometimes, with the best of care
they will scorch a little on top. Take
the burnt ones off and the rest are al
/ right
