AT recent meeting of Farmers club i'm
massachusetts, the question discussed was,
How can wonAen best promote the cause
OF agrlcnltnrs?' Here is the answer of one
OF the members BY making farmers sons
and farmers daughters more willing to be
farmers. The mothers can do good deal
towards influencing the children by making
the home attractive. They should be taught
that it is not the most Important thing to
be rich. Make them feel that farm life is
particularly honorable; let them be taught
to aspire TO the possession OF farm some
time of their own, and to respect father be-
cause he is a farmer. Let the mother study
to make home agreeable for HE children.

OF black particles, which to the tidy house
wife appears to be something much more
uncleanly. After the oats have been pron
erly cleaned by sitting they are next sub
Jected to the operation of drying. This is
accomplished in dry kilns. with special an
paratus constructed for the purpose. This
operation requires some care to keen the
oats from burning. AS soon as sufficiently
dry they are removed from the kiln while

The Alarming Rapldity With Which Their
Destruction Is Going On.
From Harper's Magazine.
In our own country We have gone to the
forests in kind OF freebooter style. cut
ting and burning more than we could cut,
acting fer the most part as though all the
while in frolic or a fight, until now al
length, after century or two of this SORT
of work, We are waking up to the fact that
our once DO andless woods are disappearing
and that We are likely to suffer no little
loss thereby. But it is only the few who
condition as effected by the threatened
loss of the trees. In recent publication,
issued by authority Of one of our Western
States for the express purpose of
attracting settlers from European
countries. The statistics of its great
lumber production are deliberately set forth,
accompanied by the assurance that the
present enormous consumption of trees for
this purpose may be continued ten or fifteen
years longer before The forests will be de.
stroyed. The cool unconeern in regard to
the future shown in this is very noticabl.
After us, the deluge." 4 corresponding
feeling, though working on o much smaller
scale. is seen in an advertisement, and of q
class often appearing in our older states:
Brace up, young man. You have lived on
your parents long enough. Buy this farm,
cut off the wood, haul it to market, get
your money for 1t and pay for the farm.
The owner estimates that there will
be 500 cords Of market wood" And so, all
Lver the country, on the large scale and on
the small, the az is laid at the roots of our
trees, and our forests are disappearing. It
ia estimated that 100000 acres CT fores
land are cleared every year an I that in the
ten years Previous to 1876, u, 0OO, 900 acres
were burned over simply to clear the land.

ULTRA STYLE Of A HOTEL CLERK.
Some Pleasant Probabilities of That Truly
Wonderful Being.

Some Pleasant Probabilities of That Truly
Wonderful Being.
From the New York Traveller.
The hotel clerk is a young man who was
originally created to fill an Emperor's
throne or adorn Dukedom, but when he
grew up there being fewer thrones and
dukedoms than there were Emperors and
Dukes, he was temporarily forced to take
position behind hotel register. His chief
characteristics are dignity and bearing,
radiant gors eousness of apparel, haughti-
ness Of manner, and jewelry. His prinei-
pal duties consist in hsmmering on the call
bell in handing guests the wrong keys to
their rooms, and in keeping a supply OF
toothpicks on the end of the desk. When
all his time is not taken up in the perform
anee of these arduous duties, he will condo
scend to explain to O guest that he does
not know whether the northhound train
leaves at 3 p. m. or not, and If the guest
insists on enticing further information out
o. him, he will probably hand him last year s
official railroad time table. When strang-
er comes in on late train, jams his valise
down on the counter, and approaches the
register, the hotel clerk, in preoccupied
and austere manner, turns the register and
hands the stranger pen pen that has an
impeachment in it's legs, catches in the pa
per, and splutters fragments of the guests
name all over yesterdays ARRIVALS. The
clerk after turning around the register and
examining the signature to see if it is gen
uine, expresses some doubt as to there be-
ing vacant room in the house. The strang
er says he is bound to have a room. The
clerk retires back of the desk and after
consulting pigeon holes, concludes that the
gentleman may have No. 292. He writes
some hieroglypbics on the register, and
then he talks TO half an hourtwlth the potr-
er and the baggage man about the trunk of
the gentleman in No. 4G, having got mixed
up with the baggage belonging to the gent
leman in No. Ga, When he gets that mat
ter arranged he sits down to polish and ad-
mire the long nails he is cultivating on his
little finger, and forgets the gentleman who
has rented No. ! ,292 until he is made aware
of his existence by an impatient tap on the
counter. With the air of martyr, and a
sigh, he says. All! would you like to 60 to
your roomf"
Then John shows the gentleman to No
1892.
No matter how crowded hotel is, the
hotel clerk always finds one room left TO,
the latearrival. When the latter kicks about
it, when he is leaving next day, because il
Vas on the fifth floor, and was furnished
with nothing but bed, bar of soap, and
crack in the ceiling. the clerk tells him
that if he had only been staying another
day, he could have had an excellent room
in fact the best room in the house, which
would be vacated after breakfast, by gen
tleman who was leaving on the noon train.
To our own knowledge, the gentleman has
been leaving that excellent-that chest room
in the house, every Tomorrow for the last
twenty wears,
