A Delusive Item.

An exchange prints the following among
fifteen hundred and fifty pounds OF potatoes
are required in cattle feeding to form the
same quantity of flesh that one hundred
pounds of beans would do" Nothing could
be more misleading than this to reader
unacquainted with the real fact of the mat
ter In the first place, farmers, when speak
ing of flesh" mean fat quite as much OF
more than muscle. When they say an ami
NAL is quitting on fesh," or when they
speak of neighbor as heshy man." they
mean just the same as when they say
it, Or he, is getting fat, or is fat. Bu
the chemist from whose writing this item
was taken without the context, means by
flesh " lean meat, /. e., muscle-,fesh il
contradistinetion to fat lie by no mean'
wishes to be understood as saying that ont
hundred pounds of beans are equivalent t.
fifteen hundred and fifty pounds of potatoe
as feeding material, but only that there il
as much muscle material in one as in th,
other. But the other elements of IA health,
diet are deficient in the beans, and any far
mer who, reading this item, should try h
make one hundred pounds of beans take tn
place of fifteen hundred and fifty pounds o
potatoes would find himself badly deceived
However, the error is so gross that most ex
perienced farmers would simply regard sucl
an item with contempt, though rightly III
derstood, it is true.

go down, but farming will not go down.
Others will step into our decimated ranks,
and they will come in with the full under
standing that farming is not trade for the
fool of the family to get rich in. 1t will al
ways be a good business for the right men.
It will afford competence to many, and
riches to some, long after we are all dead
and gone. But none of them will be scrub
farmers. The era of scrub-iarming is closed
in New England The era of brain-farming
is opening. The farmer of the future will
understand both his business as farmer and
his rights as a citizen. He will do the one
and maintain the other. So, and only so,
can the farming of the future prosper.

FATHER AT PLAY.

Such fun as we had one rainy day,
when father was home and helped M play.
We made n ship and holsied sail,
And crossed the sea in q fearful gale
But we hadn't sailed into London town,
When captain and crew and vessel went down.
Down, down In jolly wreck,
with the captain rolling under the deck
But he broke out again with a Hons roar,
We on two legs, he on four,
Ran out Of the paror and mp the stair,
And frightened mamma and the baby there.
So mamma said she'd be p'liceman now,
And tried to rest us. She didn't know how.
Then the lion laughed and forgot to roar
TIL we chased him ont Of the nursery door;
And then he turned to pony gay,
And carried MS all on his back away.
whppity, lckity, hickiiy hol
n we hadn't fun then don't know.
TIL we tumbled of and he cautered on,
Never stopping to see II his load was gone.
And couldn't tell any more than he,
which was Charlie and which was me,
Or which was Tower, for all In q mix
You'd think three people had turned 10 six.
TIL Towers tail was caught In the door;
He wouldn't hurrah with ms any more.
And mamma came out the rumpus to quiet,
And told us story to break up the riot.
