Farmers Boys.

For farmers, the country wants
the most energetic, tboroughgoing
and wide awake boys that can be
found. Hence, if a boy is blessed
with that crowning concomitant
which moves the world-brains-let
him become farmer. Brains com
stitu;c the great desideratum in
agricultural science at the present
day. Fifty years ago muscle was
the essential requisite. Fifty years
ago farmer was expected to per-
form every manual labor of the farm
by the exercise Of muscular force,
while at the present day lie needs
brains more than muscle to enable
him to manage labor-saving tools
and implements with skill and ef.
fciency. When the labors of the
farm were nearly all performed by
the laborious and fatiguing applica-
ton of human force, farming
was irksome and drudsing. But
now, when teams and steam power
respond to the bidding of the tiller
of the soil, agriculture is the most
agreeable pursuit one can desire.
True, at some seasons CT the year
farmers are required to labor early
and for several days. Then, again,
perhaps for weaks they will have
easy times.-Dirigo Rua'.

England'S Bone Caves.

The Cresswell bone caves arc en-
larged assures in the magnesium
limestone in the border of the Eng
lish counties of Nottingham and
Derby. They were discovered in
1875 by Rev. J. NJ. Mello, who has
since explored them, and recently
published an account Of his dis
coveries. There are three cavcrns,
known as the Pin ilole, the Robin
Hood Cave and the Church Hole,
and they contain numerous remains
of animals no longer existing in
Western Europe, together, with
implements which arc evidently Of
human construction. Among the
animals whose bones have been
found here, Mr.. Mello mentions the
hycna, lion, panther, grizzly bear,
brown bear, fox, wolf, wild on, bison.
reindeer, great Irish elk, the small
Pleistocene horse, the two"horncd
wolly rainooeros and the mammoth.
The presence of these various re-
mains in the caves is attributed to
the action of the byenas, which
brought thither the bones of the ami
mails they killed or found dead. Mr..
Mello states that implements and
weapons Of undoubtcd human work.
manship occur in situations which
show that man was q contemporary
of all these creatures.

What Shall the Farm Produce

Every farmer at the beginning of
the New Year ought to put on his
''study cap" He ought to ask
himself what he is going to raise to
make money this year. Shall he
mako it on farm crops, pork, beef or
mutton Shall he put down his
farm in meadows and pastures and
rent them out another year, or keep
or buy stock, and feed what he
raises? Shall he put out large
acreage in corn and fattcn hogs or
beef? Shall he place his main re-
lance on wheat, as we fear too
many farmers do? If the war in
Europe collapscs some of our wheat
growers will get their fingers burned
next year. There was never so
large an acreage planted before,
and thus far it is looking finely
only it is little too rank. If it
could be fed down by sheep, calves
or colts, when the ground is frozen,
it would help it. Wneat is good
thing at good prices, but the
supply must no! be greater than the
demand, or the market collapses.
About as cay method of making
money on the farm as any is to raise
hogs. Have your corn field adjoin-
ing the hog pasture, and as soon as
tue corn is glazed, run a movable
fence across the corn field, so as to
enclose few acres, and turn in the
hogs. When all the corn is con-
sumed, move the fence and give
them few acres more. 1t saves a
great deal Of labor to fatten the
hogs this way, and when land is
cheap and productive, it beats in
economy all other plans of fattening
pork, and leaves the fields no poorer
than before planting.
If, in addition, the farmer will
have an artichoke field of a few acres
10 let in his store hogs in winter, his
plan for cheap pork raising is com,
plete. The hogs arc made to do
their own work. The richer the
ground, for artichokes. the more
productive it will be. A piece Of
bottom land is best. In such land
they will produce from one to two
thousand bushels per acre. Cut up
and plant and cultivate as potatoes.
They are not at oil hurt by freezing
in the ground.
But all farmers should bear in
mind that the wants of the family
must not be forgotten-that plenty
of potatoes, cabbage, sweet corn,
green peas ard all kinds of garden
vegetables must he produced. Wha,
folly to say there is no field for ell
terprise on the farm. There is nc
limit to enterprise. Farmers o!
enterprise, governed by good judge
ment, grow rich, while those lacking
it plod on in the same old ruts
do things in the same old way
and can hardly make accounts
balance at the end of the year.

Barn"yard manure must remain,
for many years at least, the back
bone of profitable farming, hence it
should be garlcd with special care.
Manurcs should invariably be under
cover. ard in absence ofpropcr shell
ter, they should be protected by a
thick coat Of dry earth, roal scrap
inss, or sods and mold. Do not
permit your most valuable aid to in.
crease profits to blow off with every

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Take council of your judi cement and
never of your fears.
Never scare of n fly with a club,
when a feather will do as well.
Pretension struts on stills, while hu-
manity hobbies on tie crutch.
The hearty laugh Of an ugly man
often redeems the slight that nature put
upon his countenance.
Ifyou depend on yourself you will
pull through, h,-dcpend on it.
Life is like a market or fair. The
question is, not whether thu wares be
good. but whether there be any better
ut the next stall.
The triumphs Of truth are the most
glorious, chiefly because they are the
most bloodless of all victories, deriving
their highest lustre from the number OF
the saved, not uf the slain.
Sleep, thou rcposrr Of all things; sleep
thou gcntlest of the dci'ies thou peace
of the mind, from which care flies; wh
dost soothe the hcrrts Of men wearied
with the tolls Of the day and rehtesl
them for labor.
As the tree is fertilized by its own
broken branches and fallen leaves, and
grows out of its own decay, so men and
nations are bettered and improved by
trial, and refined out Of broken hopes
and blighted expectations.
The way to riget yourself is to be
careful not to wrong others. With what
measure you tnete, it shall be measured
TO yta Afaln.' .

Oft I've heard gentle mother,

Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him TO become n man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter.
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty
Strive, my dear, to be a lady.
What's lady? Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks, and laces,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy mats and chairs
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human

'Tis not to be woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter,
Speak of something higher far
Than to be mere fashions lady

Urge your daughter no less strongly

Raise the world from all that's low,

That shall raise our natures human,

Be brave, true, whole-souled woman.

Human Slavery Approaching Its End.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-A letter from Havana,

for the inevitable abolition of slavery. It does
all In its power to favor the immigration of
feld-laborers, land almost every steamer j.. ar
irving from Spain brings few hundred sturdy
men, mostly from the Canary islands. On the
other hand, the planters are becoming con-
WINGED that machinery will have to be substi-
tuted as much as possible for human labor, and
many have been heard to express an intention
of changing their old machinery for the i'm
proved system, thus saving time and labor.
American machinery is now preferred here, on
account of its cheapness and ingenuity of con-
struction, which more than compensate for the
advantage the English machinery possesses in
its durability. The erection of so called CEN
trail plantations is another means of supply
ing the want of laborers. For instance, q
planter, having several adjoining plantations,
will dIsmantle the machinery on all of them,
and erect instead one powerful machine that
will do the work formerly done by several. As
the distance from which the cane will have to
be brought to the grinding mill will thus be
augmented, rails will be laid to convenient
points on the estate, thus saving the tedious
work OF carting the cane long distances.
HAVANA Oct ia royal order has been
promulgated directing that henceforth if any
slave. from whatever cause, shall enter the
territorial or maritime jurisdiction of Spain, or
any of her colonies outside the island of Cuba,
such slave shall be declared free.
