Mind n Fsrning.


The idea has generally prevailed
in the past, and possibly more by
farmers than others. that for the
business nf farming but little intel
lectual training was necessary. a
willingness to work or in the old
routine. that has been transmitted
from the practices of the past. was
all that could be safely relied on for
success. This narrow view. born
and kept alive by ignorance only, is
a mistaken fallacy of the past, fast
DIVING out, rather than the 5, ntimenr
of intelligent. present thought The
agriculture of to-day is not based ON
manual labor alone. The education
of the mental faculties. as well as
the trimming of the hand to work
skillfully, is recognized as IN essen
tisl in fitting for the life work Of the
farm. Upon these, intelligence and
labor combined, rest the hope Of pro-
gress in agriculture. And vet it
may be questioned if farmers fully
appreciate tue value to their chill
dren of home training and edu-
cation in the work and in the
business of the farm. Each year
there 90 ont from the farms young
men and women to assume the work
of managing farms for themselves.
Are these young men and women as
well educated, and trained in the
work and business affairs of the farm
MS they. the sons daughters Of far
mers, ought, with their opportunity,
to be? We fear there is yet too
much of indifference in parents in
teaching their children the business
of farming. not only as trade, hut
as a profession. 1t ought to be kept
constantly in view that the training
and education needed by the farmer
can largely be learned at home, and
that the practical knowledge thus
gained will be of inestimable value;
so much capital with which to begin
the business of farming.

Trouble with Canada Increasing.

to-day from Eastport to the effect
that the Dominion Collectors Of Gus

weighers on the provincial sln,res
fuY the canning houses in the United
States. A large business OF this
kind has been carried on at E-s'rmrt

are afraid to continue the traffic and
a large number of people on h"tl,

The Profits.

Profit in farming consists in de-
voting most Of your land to grass
and stock; in making large quanti-
ties of manure, and applying it to a
small portion of cultivated land,
giving high cultivation. In this
way more grain, roots, etc, will be
raised one year with another than
can be raised on the whole farm by
the usual skimming and half cult
waiting process. Here is success in
a nutshell; your farm and pocket
will grow fat; no mistake about it (!
Profit in stock raising comes from
giving the best care and shelter with
full feed from the beginning. In
breeding use only thoroughbred
males; half breeds produce only
mongrels and scrubs. One pound of
sulphur to twenty of salt will pre-
vent disease, and keep your animals
healthy. Always salt the hay in
the NOV. One is apt to neglect Civ
ing salt in winter. Add sulphur, as
it prevents hay from moulding aid
keeps it sweet.

Do not try to fatten very old cows
or sheep. 1t will not pay. You
can't make them fat.
Have oatmeal porridge and cream
for breakfast The oatmeal makes
bone, brain and muscle.
Fall pigs will thrive handsomely
if patch of rye has been planted to
furnish them green food during the
fall and winter.
Never plant a pea for home use
that isn't wrinklcd. The buckshot
varieties may be had few hours
earlier, but they are only fit to sell.
In setting out trees let them lean
toward the south. This prevents
sun scalding at first. The tree
will gradually pull itself back up
right. 40 fii
If you have grape vines weak, fee
bic or nearly dead, cut them off neal
the ground. and let new sprouts
spring up from the rooots-but dc
not let over two Of them grow.

After all the good wife and the
boys and girls are the best things
on the farm. Don't forget this when
you find yourself given mp night and
day to thinking about and caring
for those pigs and calves. IL the
pig or calf goes wrong it can be re-
placed with money. bat not so with
a hslpmate wrecked with overwork,
or a boy or girl gone astray. The
best type of farmer is the one who
thinks Of his family first; not that
he thinks less of his farm and it's
belongings, but more OF Betsy and
the babies Indicator.

REPAIRING DOME PROMPTLY.
The Portland daily press., 1886-12-17

The record of the trees planted under the
impulse given by the celebration of an Ar
Dor Day each year is remarkable. The work,
begun in Nebraska, has been initiated in
Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Colora-
do, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Indiana, Yer
mont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. 1t is es-
timated that in Nebraska alone there are
seven hundred thousand acres of trees that
have been planted by human hands on prai-
ries where there once was not tree. In
Minnesota, over million and a half of trees
have been planted since 1876, when the Gus
tom was instituted. In several Western
States, prizes are given for tree planting,
and from the returns made to county officers
1t has been possible to secure accurate statis-
ties OF the progress made in giving to the
prairies the groves so delightful in Eastern
landscapes. On Arbor Day in Massachu-
sets last year, the mayor of Boston and gov
ernor of the State set the example, which
common consent had decided to be needed.
In Maine. renowned for its forests, there
may be less need Of tree planting than in
the barren States of the West; but there are
hundreds of homes in this State uninviting
because, without tree or bush around
them. they get the full glare of the sum-
mer's sun and the force of the winters blast.
There are many villages unattraetive, even
desolate looking, for the want of shade
trees. 1t is not because trees are very expen-
sive that so many homes and villages are
unadorned with them, but because the hab-
It's or tastes of the owners do not suggest the
improvements The enthusiastic observance
OF an Arbor Day in Maine for q dozen years

THE TENURE OF OFFICE LAW.

what Is known as the tenure VI office law,
wihch Is now before the Senate on motion
70 repeal, grew out of the contest between
congress and President johnson after the
iatter mad deserted the party that nominated
and elected him to the Vice Presidency and
was catering to the Southern section of the
Democracy. The debates at the time show
clearly enough that the purpose of the law
was to meet an exigency that had arisen in
consequence OF the rebelious attitude the
President had assumed, and the danger that
might arise from putting into important
offices. especially in the South, in the recon-
struetIon period men whose loyalty to the
