FARM CR1Ps.

FARM Oh1fp,
The sun is the great renovator Of health.
II is necessary 10 man or beast. IL ought
10 be supplied 10 the horse by facing his
stable TO the south, and providing windows 10
let in its refreshing rays. To deprive the
horse Of the light Of tho sun and the pure
air Of heaven, by shutting him up in dark,
ill.ventilated stables, is a fatal delusiou 10
stable economy.-Michigan Farmer.
The farmer whose barn, cellar aud granary
are we'll filled, should be cOntented aud
happy. Panics can not reach him. Hard
times are known 10 him only in name. II
he owns his farm, has IT we'll stocked, has
comfortable set Of buildings and is out Of
debt, no king can be happier than he. If he
has not these, let him at this time make such
plans as will be most likely TO enable him 10
acquire them.--Ths People.
Ssvereigcs, you who have got settled down
TO the practical routine Of business, necessary
TO be done TO effect q change 10 our com.
mercial aud productive system, ought TO
begin 10 realize where we are in this Ngs
gressive aud defensive movement-what
we have gained-its value to us--and what
there is yet TO gaiu.-SO0ereign's Bulletin.
A little good economy, as usual, will not
be out Of place with all classes, but with q
disposition to save what we have, and allow
nothing to run to waste, we see nothing to
prevent the agricultural classes, at least, from
going through the winter without suffering.
-NeaO England Farmer.
Road fences may be taken down and put
up in the spring at one quarter the expense
Of breaking the roads, besides having good
roads the most Of the time for the public to
travel.-Dirigo RarGl.
In the course Of the last twenty-five years
we have seen many barns erected, but in no
instance without cellar under the same. In
most cases the sites have been selected with
as much taste aud judgment as the circum.
stances would allow, having especial refer
ence to saving and increasing the quantity
and improving the quality Of the manure
Massachusetts PlOughman.
In our dairy we have the best success
10 winter when the cream is churned at tenn
perature Of sixty-three degrees. 1t comes
then without too long churning, and it is so
firm and solid that it does not gather into q
solid mass at the FIRST appearance of butter.
We prefer to have our butter come so hard
that it will float 10 little crumbs in butter
milk, even after every ounce Of cream is thor
oughly churned then we can rinse off the but
termilk nearly clean, instead Of having it shut
up in the butter, as is too often the case when
the butter is gathered 10 solid mass in the

Public sentiment is at fault that regards n

ger his property by endorsing for another.
No man has any right to endanger that which
is necessary for the comfort of his family, in
order to accommodate friend or neighbor.
-Germamtoion Telegraph.
In every instance where property or money
is placed first in the scale, the farmer and
his family are neglected for the success of the
former does not depend upon that of the latter
% the contrary, when the farmer and his
family are placed first, the conditions for the
highest success of both are compatible; the
attainment of one object furnishes the very
best stimulus for the attainment OF the other
Ohio Farmer.
The curing Of meats by farmers, il more
generally practiced, would result in q
healthy rivalry among them as in the case Of
making butter and cheese, and the curing
process would become generally and well un-
derstood Meats nicely cured would be
sought after by families in neigbboring
towns, as butter now is, made by those hav-
ing a reputation in that line Western

No live stock is more profitable to the
breeder than swine, provided the number
kept is in proportion to the resources Of the
farm, especially since the attendaeoe they re
quire compared with that Of other animals,
is so trifling, and since the value Of the ma
uure produced more than offsets the needed

No house is so cheap, compact and COM
Portable, giving a maximum Of room inside al
a medium of cost, as the square one now sc
much in fashion, with square roof pitching
sufficiently to shed rain well. A single room
house with four side walls, is always cold
for the room is exposed on all sides. Put
four rooms together in this way, and they
are as warm again, for only two sides in each
are posed.-Prairie Farmer.
