Improved Methods on the Farm,

There are very few farms in this
country, East or West, that, have ever
been made to produce over fifty per
cent. of their capacity, and very few
farmers capable of making even one
hundred acres do more than this. A
vast majority Of those who own more
would be benefited by selling the sur
plus and using the proceeds as a capital
to improve the remaining acres, and by
purchasing better stock.
The little Island of Jersey is said to
maintain II animal to every two acres
on the island, including roads, fences
and the ground occupied by buildings.
Their farms average about ten acres.
In a very few instances in this country
one animal has been supported to sach
improved acre. This proves what is
possible under the best management.
The best talent, the %intensest study, the
most knowledge and the best business
methods should be, and will be, devoted
to agriculture for years to come. The
professions are overstocked. Doctors
are without patients and lawyers with
out clients, as most Of them ought to be;
but good lands are cheap and plenty.
Intelligent laborers on the farms are
scarce and better paid than any other
class. Farming has been accepted as a
last resort tor those unable to live by
their wits, Or good enough for such as
were considered incapable of or in
different to thorough culture. The
men~tally-active boy has taken a medi-
cal or Il law course of lectures
after completing his education at the
academy or college. These are
now full to repletion; they are in great
need OF thorough drainage. Now that
farmers begin to see that they need more
culture, more knowledge and business
methods to attain any standing in their
own business, and to fill creditAbly such
public stations as their numbers and
their occupations entitle them, let them
win back their sons from the shop and
office to their farms, where all their
intelligence can be more protitably
employed. Let them send their sons to
the agricultural college instead OF the
medical school; let them attend acourse
OF lectures on botany and chemistry
instead OF law, and they may possibly
10 something to make farming more
attractive as well as profitable, and take
and hold that station in life to which the
poets fancy has assigned thcm.-

How to Cook a BeeYsteak.

Procure from the butcher a good fat
sirloin steak with the tenderloin at
tached; cut an inch thick.
Cut out the tenderloin, trim of the
extra fat, split into four parts, so you
will have four steaks one-fourth of an
inch thick.
Take a sheet Of foolscap paper, spread
out to full size on a smooth surface:
with sweet butter give the paper a thin
coat all over the exposed side of the
paper.
Salt and pepper the steak to taste, not
too much; lay your steak on one side Of
the paper, turn the other half over the
steak; then, beginning ut the corner of
the fold in the paper, crimp from each
corner until you reach the center;
fasten with pins, so that the paper will
not lose its folds, and you have your
steak in a tight paper bag.
Have a light broiling fire; place your
steak as above prepared on a gridiron;
hold over the fire, retaining hold of the
handle, and watch carefully that the
paper does not burn.
The steak will cook thoroughly in
four or five minutes. Serve OH a hot
dish, garnished with sliced lemons.
Cooked in this way the meat retains all
its juiciness and is free from all taints of
smoke or fire, and will be accepted by
the most delicate stomach and retained,

Such Weather."

"Did you ever see such weather in
your life?:" "Wcll isn't this a spel.o
"Never saw such weather in all NV
days, never" These expressions. and
scores of others like them, are constant
ly on the the lips as friend meets friend
these ''untoward'' days.
We remember some years ago being
in a conveyance when there had been
"along spell of weather." and present.
ly a gentleman with a face which
seemed n index of asunny disposition,
entered and was Immediately greeted
by another gentleman who at once be-
gan a sort Of plant against the day.
"Well, / don't know said he Of the
sunny face, Il don't know as it's so.
very bad, it's a better one than we could
make anyway"
Yes, that's So" responded his
friend, decoyed into laughing himself at
SO convincing a statement. There is no
denying that pleasant weather once ina
while would be delightful; faces assume
a doleful look almost in spite of ones
best efforts when the muddy weather
lengthens into months instead of DAYS;
the children clamor for their out-of.
door sports and exercises, and when
they do run out for a few moments,
what a sight they are and how they
track up the floor with ''the rubbers oil
them.' as Bridget exclaims with a por-
tentous rolling of her eyes.
We often ask the impatient children:
"Who makes the weather." And al.
though the u%ngracious little rogues de-
rive not a bit Of comfort or a sweeter
face from that weighty question, yet
surely we of riperyears can find an end
less source of satisfaction in the thought
that the great Creator not only makes
the weather, but knows perfectly for
what wise purpose He makes it, send
ing long seasons of storm and rain, then
bringing out the beautiful sunshine to
gladden. the hearts of men. But there
are days and days yet to come, not only
here but in the approaching hereafter,
where, if time is rightly improved here
below, we shall be sure Of perpetual
light.
What matter, then, if the sun does
hice his face with discouraging persist
ency; there should be a spring OF Joy
in the heart of every believer, insur:ng
him against any influences from with
out. and we read of a Sun of Righteous
ness which may rise within us, dispsll-
ing all possible earthly gloom and sbad.
