the highest price of any other meat in

The reason is not because mutton is
innutritious or unwholcsome. but be-
cause we, as Il people, have not yet come

WHEN TO MATER HORSES.

Those who have the care of horses
should let them have what water they
want to drink before feeding them oats
or corn, and If half an hour, or en hour
before, so much the better. If the lat
ter are fed to them first, and they are
allowed to drink a good deal of water
soon after, much of the oats or corn con-
sumed will be washed or carried through
the stomach into the intcstines, without
being digested, when, instead of being
bcnefit,ing the horse they do him pos
tive injury, frequently causing colo. III
flammation of the bowels, etc. \ small
quantity Of water after feed would be
attended with no such results, but the
stomach of the horse is small and can
not hold much feed and much water at
the same time.

THE CALLING SHOULD BE HON
ORED by THE MAN

Why has il become almost natural
idiom. only farmer, or good enough
for farmer? Why is any thing good
enough for farmer that is not good
enough for any body else! Why are
they who should be the very lords of
the earth they tread, regarded as serfs
and underlings, and their rights dictat-
ed, as though they had no share in the
governing of all this mighty republic
which their hands alone have wrcsted
from the wilderness?
will tell you why: 1t is because
thousands of men have been content to
drift along, accepting any thing good
enough for farmer, afraid TO leave the
enc narrow track which has marked the
course of their lives, till they have
brought ignominy and shame Oh that
which out to be considered. and is, one
of the noblcst vocations on earth.
The calling should be honorcd by the
man. not the man by the calling.-Er-

NOTES.

Plant few fruit trees of every varie-
ty every year, and your orchard will
never be all old.
Variety in farming is better than spe-
cialty.
If water must be supplied artificially,
cisterns are better and more reliable
than wells.
The farmer who fails 10 keep a correct
account with each lot and crop, is very
apt TO cheat himself.
The farm house should he susceptible
throughout, of being made pure. warm
and cool, light and dark, and unfit for
vermin.
The sitting-room should be the most
pleasant in the house.
The air of the chamber should be as
pure as that is out of doors.
Plenty of light and sun are as essen
tial to all do:nesticated animals as food
itself

SHADE FOR POULTRY,

During the hot weather poultry should
be provided with plenty of shade. An
orchard is an excellent place in the hot
season for fowls. They are protected
by the grateful shade of the trees. and
in turn become tha protectors Of the
trees by destroying the grubs and bee
ties which prey upon the trees. Fowls
in summer love the branches of trees TO
roost among where they enjoy the fresh
air and are protected from the chilly
night dews. With plenty of dust paths
provided i'm the orchard, and good
supply Of fresh water, there is no heal
thier place for fowls in summer than in
an orchard

The drawingroom or diningroom can be
desired than graceful ferns, and they
are not difficult to manage. The ferns
should be large plants taken from the
woods and surrounded with moss. An

makes n handsome thing to set them in.
A row of cones stand up around the
edge of the bucket. and hole is cut in
the bottom for the welfare of the ferns.
The whole should be taken out Of the

Circular mats of oil cloth or linoleum
should be placrd under the bucket to

SEED WHEAT.

Ii is time TO think of getting seed
wheat for sowing next month. We hear
of several cases where winter wheat has

where il has of late wears been thought
impossible TO get profitable crop. But
in every case. whether in what is known
o. fall or winter wheat region or not. il

possible seed of thoroughly testedvarie-
ties. Undoubtedly the Clawson is one
of the best known wheats for this see

seed, that is seed that is grown some dis

Young goslings, like young ducks. re-

LIME WATER IN CHURNING.

lime water into the churn, with the
cream, being careful that only the clear
water was poured off. A piece of lime
the size of an egg was used, and allowed
to stand few hours previous to churn-

SELL THE OLD SHEEP.

II is folly TO keep the old sheep. They
should be turned of to the butcher while
they are in their prime. II doesn't take
half as much to fatten them then. When
they get old and thin, in order to put in
condition to slaughter the whole struc-
ture must be rebuilt. Four sets of lambs
are all any eve should bear: this viii

MAKE A FISH POND.

In sloughs where water remains dur
ing the dry season there may the farme:
form with little labor and expense a
permanent fish pond. The common fish
of the neighboring streams, such as sun
fish and bull heads, can be counted on
at any rate. Fish can be raised with
less trouble than the domestic animals.
They grow rapidly and constitute ex-

FLOWERS THAT ARE FATAL TO
INSECTS.

Mr.. j. w. Slater, in a communication
to the chronological Society of London
says: whilst it is generally admitted
that the gay celebration Of flowers is
mainly subservient to the purpose of at
tracing bees and other winged insects,
whose visits play SO important part in
the process Of fertilization, il seems to
me that one important fact has scarcely
received due attention. Certain gayly
colored, or at least conspicuous, flowers
are avoided by bees, or if visited have
an injurious and even fatal effect upon
the insects. Among them are the dablia,
the passion flower, the crown imperial,
and especially the oleander.-.Scieatifc
