Boys ora the Farm.

1t is proud day when the average boy
gets on his first pair of boots and trudges
TO school by the side of so older sister.
He does not care any longer 70 take her
hand. The leading strings are cut. But
this early ambition to be man Is entire
ly eclipsed, when he has taken charge Of
Eis FIRST pair Of steers, and started for
the fair. Has he not raised them, broken
them to the yoke, taught them to pull and
to back, to hsw and to gee2 They are

muscle. DE is going up to the exhibition
to display the fruits Of his triumph, and,
as he hopes, TO wear the lsurels of victory.
He is no longer merely q spectator, but
IN exhibitor. an entertainer Of spectators.
There is q difference of native tastes 'in
boys. Some have natural aptitude to
one calling and some to another, but most
men have their csllings determined by
early circumstances, sometimes by incl
dents so trivial that they have hardly a
place 70 memory. 1t is not difficult gen.
orally for father, who loves the farm, 10
determine the calling Of his children. Ii
he makes it business Of thrift, and pro-
vides comfortably for his family, they
will respect the calling. If he Is discour-
aged and continually shifting his work,
or his home. they will not be very likely
10 make tillers of the soil. One can hard
ly begin too early with his boys to incline
them 70 the calling that is to give them
bread, and the means of their future use
fitness. II the boy is to be farmer, he
must begin to have personal interest and
venture in farming while be is yet a boy.
FiliAl affection, in happy home, is a
very strong motive to industry and 6deli-
ty, but it does not shape a boys plans for
life like an investment Of his Own brains
and muscles in bis daily work. He should
have crops and animals, not only that he
can ''call" his own, but that are his own,
TO keep, to enjoy, and to sell for his own
pleasure and profit. The trusts may be
small At first, but they should be absolute.
and let him have MS own experience Of
success and failure in managing them.
Let him manage poultry, lamb, a calf,
or colt, and exhibit MS own stock at the
fairs. We notice with great satisfaction
the increasing attention paid to the boys
At the fall fairs. Boys did some Of the
best work st recent blowing match at
one of our fairs. One boy Of fourteen,
held the plOw and drove his own team.

4An Indian Juggter.

European and American magicians per-
form many surprising tricks, but an In
dian jugger is their superior, SO, at least,
the following narrative from an English
magazine would seem to Indicate:
When he entered the room he spread
white cloth upon the floor and sat
down upon it with his back to the wall,
the door Of the room being on his right
hand.
His spectators were disposed in the fol-
lowing fashion: Mr.. Smyth sat on a
chair nearly in the middle of the room,
was sitting on a sofa near the door, the
Parsee merchant stood in the doorway
about arms length from me. The sery-
ants stood about in groups, the largest
group being between the door and the
conjurer.
As soon as he had settled himself he
turned to the Parsee and asked for the
loan of rupee. The pedler at first de-
INJURED little, but, on being guaranteed
against loss, he produced the coin. he
was going to put it into the conjurer's
hand, who looked at it, and declared it to
be really a rupee. The conjurer then
told him to hand it to his master.
Mr.. Smyth took it, and then followed
this dialogue
COnjurer-Are you sure that is ru'
peel
Smyth-Yes.
Conjurer-Close your hand on it and
hold it tight. Now, think of some coun-
try in Europe, but do not tell me your
thought, then the cOnjurer ran over the
names of several countries, such as France,
Germany, Russia, Turkey, and America
for the native of India is under the
impression that America is in EurOpel
After a moments pause Mr.. Smyth
said he had thought of country.
Then open your hand, said the Jug
gler ''see what you have got, and tell me
if it is coin of the country you thought
Of"
1t was 5-franc piece, and Mr.. Smyth
had thought of France.
Tie was going TO hand the coin to the
conjurer, but the latter said, mo, pass it
70 the other sahib.' Mr.. Smyth accord
ingly put the 5-franc piece into my hand ;
| looked closely at it, then shut my hand
and thought of Russia. When | opened
it | found not a Russian but Turkish
silver piece about the size Of the 5-Iranc,
or Of our own crown piece.
Tnis | handed TO Mr.. Smyth, and sug-
gested that he should name America,
which be did. and found Mexican dollar
in his hand
Tue coin, whatever it was, had never
been in the coRjurer's hand from the time
the rupee was borrowed from the Parsee
merchant. Mr.. Smyth and MS bearer
had both Of them closely examined the
rupee. and Mr. Smyth and | turned over
several times the 5-franc piece, the Turk
ish coin and the dollar; so the trick did
not depend on reversible coin.
Indeed, 1t could not, for the coin IN
derwont three changes, and had been seen.
| need only add. for the Information Of
those readers who know not India, that a
rupee Is only about the size OF form,
and therefore about half the weight Of s
5-iranc piece.

Experiments ,cith Fish for Fodder.

The high cost Of grain foods in Europe
farmers there have TO look to Russia,
India, and America for their supply of
oll-cake,-has led the German Expert
ment Stations 70 examine the question OF
the value Of animal foods, scraps, dried
blood and 6sh, as asubstitute. Numerous
feeding trials have been made with sheep
and swine, 10 test the dIgestibility Of dried
flesh, blood, and Norwegian fish guAno,
snd their nutritive value, as compared
with vegetable foods such As pea-meal,
oatmeal, and potatoes. The animals
were fed during different periods of two
or three weeks each, with different foods
and mixtures, and careful weighings made
Of both food and excrements. Each Sc
ries occupied several months, and was
made with an amount Of labor and accu-
raey that would be simply astonishing TO
most farmers in this country. Wolf
found sheep to digest 90 per cent. Of the
slbuminoids, and 81 per cent. OF the fats
Of Aesh-mesl. aud concluded, with Wildt,
that animal Albuminoids aud fats may
serve just As well as vegetable for fodder.
From several trials with sheep, Weiske
and Kellner conclude that fSh.guano may
be fed with profit At first the animals
did not relish the fish, but when mixed
with oatmeal they accepted and soon got
to eating it clear very greediIy. They
digested 80 per cent. OF toe a.buminoids
and 70 per cent Of the fats Of the 6sh.
II Is agreed that these animal foods are
as nutritious A. the most concentrated

trials 10 different parts Of Europe bring
