A BOY ON A FARM.

It is my impression that farm
without boy would very soon come
to grief. What a boy does is the
life of the farm. He is the factotum,
always in demand, and always ex-
pected to do the thousand and one
things that nobody else will do.
Upon him falls the odds and ends,
the most difficult things. After
everybody else is through he is to
finish up. His work is like q wo-
man's-perpetually waiting on others.
Everybody knows how much easier
it is to eat a good dinner than to wash
the dishes afterwards. Consider what
a boy on farm is required to do
things that must be done, OF life
would actually stop. It is under
stood, in the first place, that he is to
do all the errands, to go to the store,
to the post Office, and to carry all
sorts of messages. If he had as
many legs as the centipede, they
would tire before night. He is the
one who spreads the grass as the
men cut it: he slows it away in the
barn; he rides the horse to cultivate
the corn up and down the hot, weary
rows; he picks upthe potatoes when
they are dug; he brings wood and
water and splits kindling; he gets
up the horse and turns out the horse.
Whether he is in the house or out of
the house, there is always something
to do. Just before school in the
winter he shovels paths; in the sum
mer he turns the grindstone. And
yet, with his mind full of schemes
of what he would like to do, and his
hands full of occupation, he is an
idle boy who has nothing to busy
himself with but schools and chores.
He would gladly do all the work if
somebody else would do all the
chores, he thinks; and yet, I doubt
if any boy ever amounted to anything
in the world, or Mas of much use as
a man who did not enjoy the advan-
tages of q liberal education in the
way of chores. - Charles Dudley
Warner.

By series of carefully conducted
experiments at the Missouri agricul-
tural college, skimlnilk has been
proved to be the most valuable food
that can be fed growing hogs in pro
portion to the amount OF organic
matter given.
There are 14.00G acres of vine
yards along the Hudson river valley
and the average yield is four tons
to the acre. At three cents pound
this means $240 per acre to the
grower. Some grow larger crops
than this average, and realize $500
per acre in sales.
1t pays to warm water for hogs.
This fact has been demonstrated at
the Wisconsin experiment station.
If cold water is given, the hog has
to consume a certain amount of its
food in bringing that water up to tbs
heat of its body. If warm water is
given, that amount of food is saved
The gain is not less striking in the
case of hogs than with COWS.

Tomatoes from Cuttings.

I am very much in favor of pro
pagating tomatoes by cuttings, If a
gardener has good variety, and is
not certain that it will come perfect
ly true from seed, the best plan is to
keep up the stock by cuttings. The
earliest fruits in spring are readily
secured from plants rooted as cut
t1gs in the autumn, and grown dur
ing the winter as store plants. At
the present time, tomatoes that are
about to cease bearing are produc-
ing numerous shoots, and if these
are taken off and inserted at the rate
Of from four to six in inch or 5
inch pot, they will turn out well dur
ing the early spring months. The
pots should be plunged in little
bottom heat until the cuttings are
rooted, then harden them off little,
and keep them aftelward with pelar-
goniums or plants of this sort. They
winter better in a cool place, away
from frost, than in much heat; but
they may be potted singly and start
ed into growth very early in the
spring, and it is then the cuttings
have the advantage over seedlings.
The latter are always inclined to
make very long stems; but cuttings
are always dwarf, and I have proved
them over and over again to be ear-
ier and produce more fruit than
seedlings. All will admit that it is
an advantage to lave strong tomato
plants early in spring, and autumn
propagation by cuttings is certain
way of securing them.-J. Muir, in
Field.

land should be sown to spring
