Farming Not Liked.

We see an article going the rounds
Of certain papers that seem to publish
anything to fill up, in which it is I'M
dertaken to tell "why farming is so
little liked" Before going any further
in,the s~ubjectit should be first in order
to prove that farming is not liked.
For ourselves we deny the proposition.
The very fact that three fths of the
population are engaged.,in farming puts
a stopper on any such nonsense.
There Is no business more liked than
farming, and none that yields so sure
a living and provides more certainly
for the wants of old age when our
work days are over.
There ere lazy people engaged in
farming as in any other calling, who
are ever ready to try their hand at
something else which seems to prom
ise as much or more gain with less la
Dor. But we all know who have paid
any attention to these changes how
seldom any one betters his condition.
On the contrary, how frequently-in
fact, how generally-they fail entirely.
1t is perfect folly, after working at a
pursuit for years, and becoming we'll
acquainted with it in all it's ramifica-
tions, and doing well enough, to aban-
don it and begin anew some other
business of which we know nothing
about. And we see the result of the
folly all around US. The industrious.
temperate, careful man who pursues
farming as the vocation of his life.
becomes ardently attached to it, and
never fails to do we'll by it. We say
never, because such a man can not
help but succeed, unless overwhelmed
with misfortunes, which is not often
permitted in this day of good will and
benevolence.
There is no business that O mar
engages in for the support of a family
is SO certain Of accomplishing its
or that upon the whole is bet
.er liked, than that of tilling the soil ;
and there is no people. take them al
.ogether, who are held in higher re-
)ute by the rest of mankind.

PluCking Geese Feathers.

The number of times that geese can
be picked depends in a great measure
on the climate. 1t is cruel to pick
them when they will be exposed to
the cold, and at the same time you
are liable to lose them. When you pick
them you should be, if possible, in a
close room, as the least breath will
scatter the down and feathers. Hav-
ing taken up your bird, draw a long
bag OF stocking over its head and
down on its neck, as it will prevent
Its wreaking its vengeance on you by
its merciless biting. The wings are
also formidable weapons and must be
held, or their. blows will leave many
black and blue marks as evidence of
Their power. The time to pick is
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-11-15

when the quill of the feather is ripe,
that is, clear. While the feathers are
developing the quill is filed with
bloody matter, which shows her un-
fitness for picking. When picking
take all the small feathers, leaving
the large ones, except four Or five
under each wing, from dropping take
off all the down only in warm weather.
In case it should turn cold after the
geese are picked, provide them with a
good warm place and they will not
suffer any inconvenience from being
robbed OF their coats. Early goslings
might be picked when their feathers
are grown and ripe and yet grow out
full in time for ~fattening for holiday
market. The yield of feathers will
be a quarter of a pound to each goose,
and that will nearly pay for raising

The political situation in Canada is I'M
doubtedly very much disturbed. A CORE
spondent Of the Montreal Star declares that
the country is losing both its prosperity
and its population, and that the growing
demand for some great radical change will
soon be as popular among the farmers of
Ontario as it is in Montreal. His opinion
is that the remedy lies in Independence.
and not in annexation, which, he saws, is
not very generally bruited. All that is
necessary for Canadian prosperity under
its admirable system of government he
holds to be access to the markets of the
United States, and that is practicable only
through the treaty making power of an
Independent state. "Give US the United
States markets." says this correspondent,
land in twenty years New York would
lose its title of excelsior" On the other
hand the feeling for annexation is daily
increasing in the maritime provinces. and
Mr.. Scoiield, leading member of the
Northumberland county council, recently
introduced resolutions demanding annexa-
ton, and when Il motion was prepared
looking to his expulsion for such sugges-
ton, he defended himself with force and
dignity, concluding by declaring that he
held the Monroe doctrine, America for
the Americans" and that continental union
is as sure as the rising of the sun. The
London Examiner frankly expresses the
same opinion. Nobody in Canada appears
to like the existing situation.
