inexperienced individuals and indoor
Spectators would sometimes attempt TO
tell Us that winter lie on the E.gn affords
the farmer an abundance Of leisure, or in
other words, that there Is little work that
can be accomplished TO advantage during
the season in which frosts bind the earth.
Such individuals, apparently, know very
little Of actual farm life Farmers who
would work their way TO success, and
competency against old age, adopt the
maxim Of Poor Richard, He that by
the pillow would thrive, himself must either
hold CT drive and act from that prin-
cir'c; 10 their Own work as far as is pos
sibIe, with IS little hired help as can be
cot along with. The young farmer who
has to work his way up the ladder OF
wealth, commencing with only very limi-
ted means, cannot make Roadway BIZ de-
pending entire upon hired labor. He
must work with his own hands, while at
the same time he employs his brain and
all other faculties.
Winter brings is cares, as well as spring
and summer. Stock must be KEEP. at the
barn and cared for, instead of caring for
themselves at pasture. This Of itself is
no small care, taking up several hours
daily, where thoroughly well done, as it
should be. Then there are always num-
berries. small Jobs which must be done,
such as cutting, hauling and preparing
wood, preparing fence stuff, threshing,
stripping Of tobacco where that is grown, }
hauling manure getting out timber, boards,
&c, for improvements, moving stones when
necessary, preparing bean poles or pea
brush, and the thousand and one other lit
tie things which are always coming up
and need attention on q well-regulated
farm. These must be done now, or during
a more busy season, and economy would
indicate that the winter season Is the bet
ter time. Plans are formed, new tools
are sought out, old ones repaired, and ex-
tended information Is gained from reading
and intercourse with his fellow farmers.
No farmer who would be up with the
times, and does business worthy to entitle
him 10 the name ofeven a small farmer,
need be idle, even though the soil cannot
be cultivated. 10 my experience and OBJ
servation, very few progressive and rising
farmers spend much of their time unem-
ployed although very much Of the labor
may seem Of little present profit to the
mere looker-on.-Country Gentleman.

Seeding Dorm ola Pastures.

This is very common in New York and
some of the middle States, but is seldom
done in New England. The reason, doubt.
less, is in the character of the soil. In
the larger portion Of these States the soil
is open on the surface aud it readily re-
eeiyes whatever falls upon it, while here
the surface IS hard and is supposed 10 need
breaking up before anything can be plan
ted in it. We think this Z mistake al
most any soil Is porous in early spring,
and if clover seed, which takes quickest
and easiest root, is sown upon the grass
surface at the time Of spring showers and
warm sun, much of it would take root and
greatly increase the quantity and quality
Of summer grading. Try it, farmers, on
your run-cut almost worthless pasture
land, aud see it, though large part OF
the seed fails to catch, enough may not
to richly pay you FOR the trouble and ex-
pense.

is worth the highest price. Now, this
value is made in properly breaking them
when steers. The most cxcitable, wiltul
and bad tempered young cattle may be SC
handled as to make them safe and handy
as oxen. So the dullest, cosset-!ike calf
may be spoiled for an OK in breaking him
to the yoke and service.
The common method is to have 4 little
yoke for the calves, and the boys fool them
around all winter, or wait until they arC
tvo-2asJ aud put them, in all their wild
ness. in a team between two strong yoke
Of oxen. We advise "a better way: Take
them IN the winter after they are year
Cd. and tor several days tie them together
With q rope, not more than twenty inches
apart, and let them run in the yard, that
they may get accustomed 70 being fast

gentle and patient, but firm with them.

should have the privilege, and by the
time the steers are old enough to work
they are perfectly handy.

sidered herself exceedingly benevolent. She
gave to almost every cause We shall see
how benevolent she was. She gave six dol
lars for pocket handkerchief, aud having

the box for foreign missions" She gave
forty dollars for Grape shawl and two dol
lars the same day to " domestic missions"
She gave ten dollars for a pair of ear-rings,
and quarter OF dollar to the tract so

ON IA fashionable party, when her daughter
Amelia came out" and fifty dollars went
towards repairing the church and paying the
pastor. Her elegant cut velvet hat cost fif-
teen dollars; she paid fifty cents, about the
