''Music fills the air with beauty,
and in tho school room, everything
should be quiet and musical, with
never a harsh note. Failing In this
the school lacks harmony" These
words are quoted from speech~ OF
Col. Parker, one of the most popular
American teachers ut the present day {.
To these sentences let us add one or
two general remarks:
While we are considering the moral
and intellectual growth Of all con-
cerned, we cannot aud must not over
look the cultivation of our aesthetlcal
natures. And while from order and
neatnsss, beautiful pictures, and
pleasant scenes comes u "still small
voice" which moulds our characters
into beautiful fo-ms, yet from har-
mony Of sounds and rhythm of move
ment comes more perceptible in
fiuence by which we rise through the
beautiful to the realizing Of the
harmonies of Nature and the love OF
her God.
Though we may be unable to
measure the force that holds US. still
we have all felt the power OF this
''linked sweetness long drawn out"
and have determined to help our
selves and, we have finally come to 1t,
get US an organ. Heaven helps those
who help themselves" and we
feel confident that we shall have the
support of the patrons OF the schools
in this project. For in helping a
worthy cause the effects Of the help
are reflected to the good of the helpers
and in this case will be simply the
support of the patrons given TO the
same patrons. Thus do we desire to
improve the healthfulncss of our at
mosphere for the growth Of our
aestheticaI nature and through 1t all
else.
Full particulars of ou: entertain
ment will be given next week
when our plans have somewhat ma
tured. Pati, ntiy await the coming Of

A farmer who knows what he is
talking about because he has tried it,
says: "Sheep, as most of us know,
are great fertilizers of the soil, first of
all on account of even distribution of
their deposits over the fields. The
sheep is the only domestic animal
that thoroughly digests its food,
which fact adds greatly to the value
of the manure. To give you an idea
of the value of sheep as fertilizers will
state my experience. Last fall I
turned sixty head of sheep OH sixteen
acres half of which was hazel brush.
1 turned these sheep on in September
and pastured them until the first of
December. By this time, at short
distance off, the field presented the
appearance of having been plowed
and narrowed, the neighbors all say
ing had killed my meadow. The
following July of that year I cut from
that meadow two and one-half tons to
the acre. Previous to turning my
sheep on it never went over one ton
to the acre. I say sheep pay, and the
man that stays with them will never
regret it.

A gentleman from Manitoba who
called on us last week said that a
farmer there had recently recovered a
large Judgment against a scotsman
for selling him seeds which produced
q luxuriant crop of weeds. The sug-
gestion is a good one. There is no
doubt at all of the 9eedsman's liability
under such circumstances. A few
suits of that cha racter brought i'll our
courts might teach certain class OF
seedsmen q valuable lesson. It is a
very serious thing to cover mans
farm with weeds. But the fact must
be admitted that there are large
numbers of men who have not enough
interest in keeping down weeds to
even become vexed, much less bring
an action for damages against seeds
man who sold weed seed for some
thing else and charged good round
price for it at that. In Canada we be-
lieve they have stringent laws upon
the subject of weeds, and what is still
better than the laws, they are rigidly
enforced.-Western Rural.

From long and extensive experience
in planting in different situations and
soils, am In favor of autumn planting
of forest trees, and also evergreen
shrubs, unless in cold, bleak situa-
tions, when the latter are best de-
ferred until spring or early summer.
There may be situations where the
soil is too wet to admit of early plant
ing, but such is unfit for planting at
any season till drained. There is an
old saying, which in practice find to
he correct, viz, "Plant " tree in
autumn and command it to grow
but in spring you must coax it,"
Some are of opinion that severe frost
will injure early planted trees. This
I have proved to be fallacy. In
order to test it, left young trees with
their FQats uncovered during severe
frost, and planted them when thawed,
and I found that they sustained nc
injury. There is more risk from
drought in spring planting than from
frost in autumn or winter planting

There Is increasing need for wlde
intelligence and education OH the
part of the farmers. In the generai
past II has been comparatively easy
to make livelihood by farming
This is becoming less true. There Is
a narrower profit; it is more difnc"lt
to become u landowner; the rate Oh
advance in price Of land decreases;
there is more intense competition;
our systems of farming are becoming
more complex. A wider intelligence,
more knowledge of business i'll general
and of his special business i'll par
tlcular, will be essential to the sue
cessfuI farmer. The average standard
ofeducatiOn is advancing. There Is
much more general recognition OF the
value of special education in schools
for those designed to engage in many
other caIlings. There will be increased
appreciation of agricultural schools.

If beautiful to the eye in the summer,
they are certainly more so In the win

more pleasing sights in the winter
than the deep green appearance OF the

They are ornamental as we'll as use
ful protecting our houses, tender

greens we have is the arbOrvitae.
They are iron-clad, and it is difficult
to-imagine a more picturesque scene

are so cheap and so readily obtained
