The wise old Comtesse de - used to

was climbing trees to shake fruit down
when if they waited long enough the
fruit would fall of itself. The second was
going to war to kill one another, when if
they only waited they would all die natur-
ally. The third was that they should run
after women, when if they retrained from
doing so the women would be SUE to run
after them.

farmer is, in fact, to take hold of one
single thing and improve it, then some
thing else and improve 1t, not losing any
improvement once gained, and thus con-
tinuIng until the whole farm is graded
up. Farmers can afford to travel
fifty miles, spend two or more days, and
pay hotel bills for themselves, their wives
and their grownup children, to stake in
the Institute which comes their way.
1t will be paid back in facts learned and
in new IMPULSES given. Institutes have
come to stay. The farmers pay taxes TO
support them, and they can not afford to
stay away. No country boy OF girl
under twenty-one years should be de-
pr1ved of chance to go to school this
Winter. They should be provided with
warm clothing, good books and
encouragement, and too many chores
should not be expected of
them evenings and mornings =. The
weekly country "lyceum" or literary
which has so successfully taken the place
of the old-time spelling school, and, in a
measure supplanted the country shoe
down." should be encouraged. Many
farmers who Will some day be legislators,
will be able to attribute no small part of
their ability to speak and to work in de-
hberate assemblies, to the practice gained
in country schoolhouse debates. j. We
would again bespeak warm places for
stock. During the first storms stock
suffer slightly worse on account of not
being accustomed to the cold. Shocks by
sudden changes of temperature and by
exposure to piercing winds do more hahn
than steady cold. The latter may be pro-
vided against by using food as fuel in the
body, but shocks and exposures to storms
redrce the vitality and make the animal
less able to acquire frame or fat.
Where practicable, all corn fodder should
be drawn to the barn or in stacks where
it is to be fed out. It will keep better
and be less mixed with snow end ice. d. 4. :.
Farmers in drouhty regions can pay
well for bran and shorts this Winter to
supplement corn fodder.

And God win finish what he has begun,
