For broiling, coal, makes a better FIRE
than wood.
There is no reason why farmers
should not have fresh mest all the
year round. There is certainly DC
sense IN stufing yourself full of salt
meat every morning and making a
we'll or cistern of your stomach for
the rest of the day. Every farmer
should have an ice house. Upon or
near every farm is some stream from
which plenty of ice can be obtained,
and the long summer days made de
Iehtfnl. DR.. Draper, one OF the
worlds greatest scientists. says thst
ice water is healthy. and that it has
done away with many of the low
done away with many OF the low
forms of fevers in the great cities. Ice
has become one of the necessaries of
civilized life, and without it there is
verv little comfort.
Make your homes pleasant. Have

and s-halt house. The hali-story is
simply an oven in which during sum-
mer, you will wake every night, and
feel in the morning as though only
the rind OF yourself was left.
Decorate your rooms, even if you
do so with cheap engravings. The
cheapest are better than none. Have
books, have papers, and read them.
You have more leisure time than the
jewellers in cities. Beautify your
grounds with plants and flowers and
vines. Have good gardens. Re-
member that everything OF beauty
tends to the elevation of man. Every
little morning glory whose purple
bosom is thrilled with the amorous
kisses of the Gun tends to put bios
som in your heart. Do not judge OF
the value of everything by the mar
ket reports. Every flower about the
house certi6es to the refinement OF
somebody. Every vine, climbing and
blossoming, tells of love and JOY.

Do not huddle together in a little
room around a fed-hot stove, With
every window fastened down. Dc

Let your children sleep. Do no

There is no reason why farmers
should no. be the kindest SD mosf
cultivated of lnen. There is nothing
in plouphing the field to make men
cross, cruel and Grabbed. To look
upon the sunny Slopes covered with
daisies does not tend to make men
unjust. Whoever labors for the hap
piness of those he loves eieVates him
self, no matter whether he works IL
the perfumed fields. To work toI
others lie, in reality, the only way IN
which q man can work for himself

In the realm of speculation every
success has at least one victim. The
harvest reaped by the farmer benefits

succeed it is not necessary that some
one should fail. The same Is true OF
all producers, of al lsborers.

While the life of farmer is such
as I have described. the cities aud
towns will not be filled with want.-the
streets will not be crowded with
wrecked rogues, broken bankers, and
bankrupt spectators. The fields
will be titled, and country villages,
almost hidden ~ trees. and vines,
and flowers, filed with industrious and
happy people, will nestle like gems
on every plain.
The idea must be done away with
that there is something intellectually
degrading In cultiva.ing the soil.
Nothing can be more noble than to
be useful. Idleness should not be
respected.
