Howell RcpuJEcoa. The Rlp0J-
hcan would ike to suggest a custom
for general use by the farmers of
Livingston county in particular and
the world at large. That is that they
put their names on tablets and at
tach them to- the posts. to cOnycn-
lent shade trees, on the barns, or in
any desirable and conspicuous place,
so that travellers may know readily
whose residences they are passing.
A few have already adopted this
feature and it is decidedly appre-
ciated by those who ride through the
rural districts, for it affords them
the opportunity Of learning just
where many of their business ac-
quaintances and personal friends
reside. Farmers Of Livingston, why
not take decided lead in this desir-
able custom.
Give your girls a thorough educa-
ton. Teach them to wash, to iron
aud darn stockings; to sew ON but
tons and make bread. Teach them
that a well-managed kitchen lessons
the doctors account. Teach them
that he only can lay up money whose
expenses are less than his income,
and that all grow poor who have to
spend more money than they receive.
Teach them that q calico dress paid
for fits better than q silk one not
paid for. Teach them that a full
healthy face display a greater lustc
than fifty cosmetic beauties. Teach
them that an honest farmer or me
chanic in his working dress is bet
ter object of esteem than a dozen
naughty, finely dressed idler.
Teach them that the happiness o.
matrimony depends neither ON exter-
nal appearance nor on wealth, but
on mans character Teach them
that good common sense, sclf-help
and industry bring suceess.-Ec.
