what promises to be an equally admirable
journal of country life and labor, published
at Greenfield by Henry d. Watson whose
Good Cheer is probably the greatest success
in the way of low-prced literary journal
ever attempted. Our Country Home has en-
listed the services of some of the ablest agri-
cultural and horticultural specialists in the
country, who will be sure to make their seve-
raj departments at once interesting and au-
thcritatve. Prof. S. T. Maynard OF the agri-
cultural college looks after Orchard and
Garden :" Editor A. j. King of the Bee Keep
er's Magazine conducts the bee department
DIR. Noah Greasy attends to veterinary mat
tiers l. X. Felch, the well known poultry
author, takes care of the hen column an OK
perienced lawyer will edit department of
farm law, and half dozen other specialties
are in competent hands. The articles are
short and suggestive, and the paper has the
handsome makeup and Typography already
familiar in Good Cheer. The subscription
price is only 30 cents year, and every man
or woman who is so fortunate as to own or
occupy a country home should have it.-Spr.

anecdote which may not prove uninteresting
in the local column. II is related that Capt.
Silas Kenny, in the days when everybody used
rum so freely, before the temperance reform
had progressed far, becoming little uneasy
perhaps at observing how his young boys
liked to taste at the huge toddy glass; offered
to give them each sheep if they would give
up tasting, when one of them quickly turned
upon him with the question, Hadn't you bet
ter have a sheep, too, father p Which set the
good man to thinking and practicing total alb
stinence forever afterward n
