Hints for March Work.

From the American Agriculturist for Marehl
Spring Work.-The spring of the Al
manac now begins; but the spring-like
weather during large portion of this
winter, has allowed the spring work Of
the. Middle, Southern, and Western
States, to be greatly forwarded. For
the first time in many years, the wri.
ter has been plowing through nearly
the whole OF January, and hundreds Of
other farmers have done the same
Fencing, ditching, clearing wood land,
and even sowing grass-seed, has been
extensively done, as though spring had
already come. Sometimes, 1.-THE most
haste is the worst speed" and it remains
to be seen, if, after all, the seasons
work will be benefited. It is q pecu-
liar time, in which caution should be
exercised, lest work done too soon, NAV
need to be done over again.
Il Strong Plant Digests its Food better
than weak one, and its appetite, so to
speak, is more vigorous, precisely a. is
that of strong, healthy young animal.
It is with the plantas with the animal
early. feeding, and vigor of fgrowth, bring
early and vigorous maturity. The1far-
mer should study to get early strong
and healthy growth. .asl1
Fodder Crops.-It has been proved
repeatedly, that one acre of good green
fodder will feed two cows through the
Lsummer. Fodder crops must be put in
early. A mixture Of oats and peAs II
the best crop for early cutting, to come
in after the first clover, which follows
the rye. The two, sown together, will
yield, on one acre, about as much as If
sown separately on two acres. This
may be doubted, but it is true. Tall
growing leafy oats, and tall peas, yield
the most fodder; the "Black-eye Mar
r0wfat" pea, grown in Canada as field
crop, is the best for our use, the seed be-
ing free from weevil. For asecond crop,
the earliest small "Canada Gray' pea
may be sown. The fodder is in the best
condition for cutting, when the peas are
in full blossom. ~
Grass Ldnds.-It is mistake to sup.
pose that our climate forbids the success
of permanent grass for meadows and
pastures. If the right kind of land is
chosen, low, moist, and full of vegeta-
bic matter, and is kept well manured,
and occasionally re-seeded, we can have
permanent grass as well as other coun.
tries. But it is necessary to SOW, and
encourage number of kinds of grass,
those with creeping roots being prefera-
BILE, If the quality is good. This subject
is worthy of study and experiment.

WHITEwAsH FOR BoRERs.-Slake
lime with water thin down with urine;
add one pint of SCOT for each pailful,
and wash the trees all over up to the
branches. Do this to small trees with q
coarse sponge, or a swab of any kind
tied ON stick. Stir up the wash as you
pass from tree to tree. With every
shower q little wash goes down to the
ground, and no horeF can exist where
this is mingled with the soil. The trees
are kept clean and free from moss, and
where this has been done every year the
orchards are the cleanest in the world.

CEMENT FOR EARTHEN AND GLASS
wARE.-1. Heat the article to little
above boiling water heat, then apply a
thin coating of gum shellac on both
faces of the broken vessel, and, when
cold, it will be as strong as it was orig
inally. 2. Dissolve gum shellac in alco-
hol; apply the solution. and bind the
parts firmly together until the cement
Is perfectly dry. 8. Take q small guam
tity of isinglass and dissolve it in spirits
of wine by the aid of heat. This will
unite broken glass so as to leave the
crack nearly imperceptihle.

A LIFE'S REGRET.

Turning the leaves in an idle way,
or book was skimming the other day,
found q line at the end Of q song
Which keeps on haunting me all day long
With It's sweet and mournful melody:
'Oh, love, my love, had you but loved mev
Sadder burden could never be -
Than love, my love, had you but lbved met
"Few words and simple. but, oh, how much
The singer has told in that little touch!
How hard story of chances lost,
OF bright hopes blighted and true love crossed
Is heard in that whispered melody
oh, love, my love, had you but loved mep
To many sorrow the key may be,
That love, my love, had you but loved met
II don't believe in what poets have said
Ofhearts that are broken and lives that ar
dead. a.
Lives that are well ordered will stand to thei
course, n
And hearts of true metal ring little the worse
But they vibrate still to that melody,
'Oh love. my love. had you but loved me!'~t
My life is well, but what would it be,
Sweet love, my love, had you but loved me p
"The world rolls on, and the years roll by,
Day-dreams vanish, and memories die;
But it surges up with restless pain,
That fond, lost longing, ever again
Breathed in the passionate melody,
'Oh love, my love. had you but loved me!
It might have been, but it cannotlbe;
Yet love, my love. had you but loved mero
MY BABES IN THE WOOD.
Once, walking in the forest wide,
Two little darlings espied.
The leaves had not begun to grow.
And chill winds wandered to and fro;
Yet strange! beside giant tree
Now sweeter faces could there be
Than those that looked up timidly,
With teardrops in their deep blue eyes,
While looked down with glad surprise.
thought of these two children sweet
Whose story little folks repeat
The poor, forlorn babes in the wood
And then 1 spoke in kindly mood:
"Dear little darlings! oh. how fair,
All, all alone in this cold air!
The night may bring us snow and frost:
Tell me. my pretties, are you lost?"
They seemed to nestle closer then,
And, though gently spoke again,
They gave no answer to my words,
But were as mute as songless birds.
bore them homewaId tenderly,
And called my little ones to to see
The pretty darlings had found.
Oh! how the merry shouts rang round!
Perhaps you may have guessed my pets p
They were the first spring violets.

MT. VEsUvIUs IN ERUPTION.-A
Naples dispatch announces that Vesu-
vius is again in eruption, and although
any such announcem ent at this season
is regarded as possible advertisement
for inn-keepers, itseems in this instance
to be fact, having been telegraphed by
special correspondent to a London
newspaper. The volcano is much more
active than it used to be. There have
been adOzen or more eruptions in the past
25 years, the latest in 1875. In the days
of ancient Rome, it seems to have been SO
very quiet that its volcanic character
was only inferred from its igneous
rocks. The first recorded outbreak was
In 70, when Herculaneum and Pompeii
were destroyed. Since then, there have
been some 65 outbreaks, differing great
ly in duration, force, and fury. In 472,
the ashes fell in Constantinople, and
caused great alarm there. In 1888, the
summit known as Monte Nuovo was
forced up, in 48 hours, to the height of
4la feet, with a circumference of 5000
feet. In 1851, the villages at the base of
the, mountain were covered with lava,
andtorrents of boiling lava poured forth,

THE FRUIT GARDEN.

In selecting spot for fruit garden,
choose warm place, and as near the
house as possible, that it may Be both
convenient for gathering, and more se-
cure from trespassers. The soil should
be well drained, deep. mellow, and en-
riched with we'll rotted manure. The
Importance of good selection of vari.
eties cannot be too strongly insisted up
On. For a list of the leading kinds Of
the various fruits see the January nums

the main reliance, is not recommended.

WHAT BEECHER SAYS OF MONEY
Henry Ward Beecher says, with deal
of truth: I'm every age money has been
a disturbing force. 1t stimulates the
passions and vanity; it furnishes the
power which pride loves. It fascinates
the intellect, because it opens the way
to culture and the possibility of self
development without the necessity of
caring for ones bodily wants In the
meanwhile. Men are very apt to des.
pise the money they haven't got, but 1
never yet knew any one who had it to
despise it. Where would religion be
without money? Where would be the
ships to convey our missionaries, the
presses to print our religious journals
Where would we get our churches and
our schools and our colleges? To deride
and scoff at money is absurd, insincere
and positively harmful. In our own
days the temptations which have
always beset humanity are multiplied.
The crops of crime are enormous, 80
enormous that no statistical tables are
ever prepared. Men are dropping like
untimely figs from the boughs of pros
perity, and falling into every crime of
sharp genius and fertile thievery. Deal
ing in stocks is perfectly legitimate
business where the stock represents
actual property, but where gambling
goes on it Is robbery. Lotteries bait
their victims by telling them that they
may get something for nothing. Yet
how can we fight against lotteries when
our churches and cathedrals., our church
fairs and ragimental fairs, resort to them
IS q means of obtaining money? L say
that no man has right to take that for
which he does not render an equiva-
lent"

No man ever lived a right life who

There is nowhere an apology for de-
