For THE FARMER AND MECHANIC.
Hints to Husbands.

noticed in your paper evera arti-
Giles intructing women how To make
home cheerful and happy for their
husbands. And think it is now time
for some one TO give the men a few
hints as TO how they must act when
they are at home.
In the first place, my lear friends,
when YOU get a wife. you must control
your patience. for most men think
that wives are the easiest and handiest
things in the world to get out of pa
thence with. If YOU have many trials
with your business of the world, which
# course you have, do not carry home
as a present to our wife a clouded
and contracted brow. She may have
trials too, which though they may not
be as great as yours, they are still just
as hard for her to bean. Only give
her a kind word with a tender look
and smile, and see how quickly the
gloom on her face will be changed to
a look of brightness. Just think, my
friend. how it would be if you were
shut IN from all Heavens cool breezes
as she is and in consequence this will
very often cause her to lose her health,
and the fine spirits which you thought
We're so attractive in your counting
days will lose their elasticity. You
are d perfect stranger to her trials and
sorrows. but if you will only bear with
her, your tenderness will relieve her
of a great many OF the small, if not
the larger, ones. Notice kindly, in
stead of taking as a matter of course,
all the little attentions that she does to
promote your comfort, and at the same
time do not be always ready and will
ing to observe or speak Of any little
omission OF what you may consider
due you. You must sometimes yield
your wishes to hers, for she has pref
erences as well as you, and it is just
as trying for her to give up her choice
to you as it would be for you to give
way to her. Do you find it difficult to
yield to her sometimes? Then just
SlOt GIN dSh NobISClI II - - d1d
for her to yield to you always. If you
do not give way to her sometimes
there sis great danger hat she will
think you selfish: and how can she
love you as she might if she has these
thoughts about you: Again, you
must not be Indifferent to her. For
how can a plant grow If it is not wa
tered: The love of your wife Is in
deed d rich and rare plant which Hea-
ven in its kindness gave you, but ah!
how soon will it wither away: and you
in your selfihness, will think it is still
growing III the poor, sterile ground
that you have planted it in. But if
you will only.remove it and plant it in
the sunshine of the love that can
beam within our eyes, and water it
with smiles and kindness it will vet
bloom and perfect itself, and be one
of the greatest blessings that could
have been given you. And another
thing you must be manly SO that your
wife can look up to you and contide IN
your judgement as a man. NJ. u.

people be justified in going into the

for it:
Bird. What kind of Flax would do
best on our lands and where could we
get the SEED and at what price:
Answer-Flax will grow well on the
alluvial or loamy soils of any portion
of our State-in fact its region of
naturalization is almost boundless
reaching from the tOrrid to the frigid
zones. The cultivation of this plant
was greatly stimulated and extended
by the necessities of the late war,
principally for the fibre which was
needed as a substitute in somem measure
for the cotton of the South. 1t is
valued for its seed which yields an oil
that Is in demand and the SEED cake Is
valuable for stock. cattle especially.
It's yield is from 300 to / 900 pounds of
fibre per acre andfrom l. to 80 bushels
Of seed-good corn or wheat lands are
generally equally we'll adapted to the
growth of flax. While we might in
this country furnish enough fine fibre
for the practical demands ofthe whole
world yet the want of mills, the
great labor and trouble required for its
preparation, and the ease and facility
with which we produce its successful
SO reduced its cult
walton in this country that it has
ceased to have a place in our general
agricultural statistics. and it Is a task
to find it quoted in the market reports
of our leading agricultural Journals.
In England. France, and others of the
European states premiums are offered
to encourage its cultivation. Besides
these, in Wales. Ireland, Scotland,
Russia. and the German States, 1t Is
one of the staple crops. We import
about $50. O0O. 900, worth from those
countries annually.
