General Farm Notes.

Selling or SLIDING becomes popular
largely in proportion to the increased
value of the land. The saving is in
keeping more stock to The acre, and
keeping it in better performing condi-
ton, and the extra cost is the labor
involved in waiting on the animals.
Clover and other deep.rooted plants
bring up nitrogen, phosphates, pot
ash, and other plant food from the
subsoil, and lsave them near the sur.
face in the form of vegetable matter;
a severe drouth does the same thing.
There are two things a farmer can
never have enough OF; One is feed, the
other is manure. Feed obviously
makes manure for it enables the farm.
er to keep more cattle, and some
can always be purchased cheaply in
the fall or winter, and make q good
profit on the feeding.
Corn endures drouth as well as any
crop grown, but only when the field is
kept clean. A thorough cultivation
of the field after a shower is better
than a coating OF manure, as it
protects the roots and affords q great
supply OF moisture. The work is 1.
lily done under the chsck.row system.

THE FARM.
Como outand como OF.


Come out to my house, a j the Jolly
old farmer;
ION cream and good butter you'n live
like a lord.
Come out, for the suns getting warmer
and warmer
And it's only ten dollars a week for
your board.
Come out whore the roses luxuriant are
blooming;
Come out where the nights all invite to
repose;
Come out where the popIars 50 lvaiy are
looming;
Come out where the brook with soft
melody flows"
Come of, says the townsman with
angry infection;
Delights Of the country no more will |
seek:
Malarial chills, such as thrive in your
section,
Are purchased too dear at ten dollars a
week.
Come of with your stories Of nights
made for sleeping;
AT your promises golden / cannet but

Already mosquitoes their vigils are keep

And lying in wait-Mr. Farmer come

pont son tne Farm.

There is q vast amount Of discon-
tent and re~stlessness among American
farmers. They ee and hear otothers
making immense fortunes in a few
months or years by some fortunate
speculation or by some favorable oc-
cupation for which probably the oc
cupant is Just suited BY natural tact
and education. And the farmer who
is barely making a living thinks he
can do as well if be only sells out and
gets into better business. But this
same class are blind and deaf TO the
history OF the thousands who IN rest
less rowing have preceded them.
They have sold out agoodfarm, and
spent the whole OF it in finding a
poorer country, or haneing around to
md some business better than farm
ing. There are plenty Of rich mem
more than there ought TO be-but not
one in fifty OF those who enter COM
mercial business or the learned pro-
LESSONS eventually become rich. A
larger proportion OF real farmers be-.
come rich than that of any other I'M
dustry or profession. Hold on to the
farm and conduct it wisely and ener.
getically, and let rowing and trading
alone.

Uncle Ephralm's story.

Uncle Ephraim, an aged colored
man, has so many good qualities that
his habit OF occasionally drawing the
long bow" Is pardoned HIM by his
friends. The habit, moreover, occa.
sionally meets with a rebuke. Uncle
Ephraim was sitting one evening on a
barrel in the grocery store, in which
the village postomce is located. There
was a little group in the store. just
as Uncle Ephrsim began telling one OF
his stories a stranger came in, and
alter asking for his mail, paused to lis

italian Sailor RoYs.

In writing CT his experience with
Italian seamen, Mr.. Keene gives them
a irst-rate character, but what will
interest the reader most is what he
has to say OF the boys among the
crew. There were nine of these on
board from twelve to twenty-one
years of age.
These young boys serve for a period
OF seven years, beginning at a pay of
three shillings & month, which is in
creased every year until it becomes
nine shillings a month in thelast year
Of their apprenticeship. They are
brought up in an extremely hard man.

year OF their time are allowed to live
below. The other poor little wretches
sleep anywhere, two or three OF them
in the galley during their watch below
at night.
They have no proper mess; but the
cook used to give them a great pan Of
food from the remnants of our mess
and the cabin. 1t was generally a
mixture of macaroni, boiled beans,
boiled corn meal, stock fish, olive oil,
and scrapings from every other dish
Ut the day.
The five youngest boys would find
the dryest place on deck, and then sit
round it, with one spoon amongthem
all. Each m would take one spoon
full and hand the spoon to his right.
