slight indeed.
Another way of increasing the value
of pasture is by dividing it into two
parts and giving the stock a part at q
time. This prevents them from foul

certainly will do if allowed the whole
range at once. A part is kept fresh anG

Care Of Neat-Barrels.

lonsMany farmers allow barrels in which
-oeef mutton and pork have been kept
IN pickle during the winter to become
tainted in the spring, so that they are
OF no further use. The brine contains
blood, and the Impurities which putrefy
on the approach of warm weather, and
the wood abS0rbJ the bad odor pro-
duced. These are IN turn absorbed by
the new brine thatiis placed in the bar.
rels the next faill and communicated tc
the meat If proper care is taken with
barrels employed to hold meat they can
be used many years. When the meat
is all taken out the barrels, should be
taken from the,cellar and the old brine
thrown On q dung-heaD or employed to
kill weeds i'm walks. They should then
be well washed but with clean water, q
broom or brush abeing used to scrub
them Thoroughly on the inside. They
should nextIbe scalded, the cover firmly
put on to confine the steam so it will
enter the pores of the wood. After the
barrels become dry some sulphur should
be burned in them, the cover being laid
on the top. The sulphur sprinkled on
shavings rGay be placed in a shallow
dish and burned in the bottom of the
barrel. A more excellent way is to
melt the sal phur in a suitable vessel,
and to draw some long -shavings or
strips of cotton cloth through it, and to
hang them in the barrel, setting fire to
the bottom oftthem. Barrels that have
contained cider may be cleaned by the
use of cold and hot water. By rolling
them about it will be brought in con-
tact with all parts of the. inside. The
strips Of cloth covered with sulphur
may be lighted and bet into the bung.
After the barrels are cleaned, dried.
and fumigated the hoops should be
tighrened, when they should be
stored in : dry place. The covers of
meat barrels should be placed in posi-
ton to keep oout dust and insects.
Treated In this manner old barrels will
be as valusble:as new ones for preserv.
ing meat and cider.

Pastures.

That portion Of the farm devoted to
pasturage is no less important than the
cultivated fields, yet it is often totally
neglected from one years end to an
other, excepting the work of keeping
the fences in repair. Where smooth,
well sodded ground is used for pasture,
no great amount of work is needed TO
keep 1t up in good shape; but such land
seldom gets into pasture, especially in
timber countries. On most farms there
j il a rough piece that has never been
thoroughly cleared, end That is the
piece that is fixed upon G.r: a pasture;
and it is q very good plan to pasture
such land, for there is nothing that will
!, subdue the toughneSs and put it in
shape to pillow as well as close pastur-
fne. But our whole duty to the pas
ture and stock confined demands that
some further work be done. While
cattle, sheep and horses will pick q

brush and logs that cucumber the

Our Common Schools.

There are some common def cts in
our public schools which deserve the
attention of the parents, for without
their help, the TEACHER, and .'ven the
august comsaittee are ,powerless. The
average American cchild. especially the
average boy, is aaltogether too saucy
and careless to become an agreeable
citizen when hearrires at mature years.
The independence and self reliance
which we rightly esteem as the price
less Inheritance won by our forefathers
by their toll. aad sacrifice and patriot
ism, is very apt ito sshow itself in the
school-boy - inputlent and intoierable
conceit; and when many gather in one
school are a serious nuisance. To illus
t~ate the difference between our chill
dren and those of other countries in this
particular, one naed only travel over
the Canadian border and visit
the French schools of the
Canadian French. and if he can
afford time to visit France and Ger
many, he will find THE contrast still
greater. In these countries, courtesy
of manner, and respect tosage and au-
thority are as universal as The lack of

greeted with q smile, and "a bow or
courtesy, when passing "a sehool-house
in play time, but in this country, he
will be lucky if he escapes Insulting
language accompanied with, sne wbalis
or other convenient missiles.
If these things are hut ,trifles, they
are straws which show which wav the
wind blows. If children weres taught
at home to show proper respect totheir
parents and other persons Older than
themselves. such things would be En-
possible. We are far too apt to encour-
age impudence in young children
by laughing at what we call
~'smart," which is really only pert
pertness in child of five years of age
grows into outrageous impudence. atten
or twelve years. Children who are
properly taught at home are always
modest and respectful to those older,
than themselves, and this m0desty
need not in the least interfere with a
proper sense of manly independence
and sel-reliance.
At present our schools are in great
danger o, becoming public nuisances.
Who wants to live next door to
school-house? Why is it worse than
living near grave-yardp Ghosts do
not annoy people much now a-days, but
we should wish to be delivered from
living near an average modern school
house. In fact, real estate in such To-
calities has only fraction of the val
ne it ought to have, if the children
were well taught at home, and then
followed up at school by good teachers;
