There is vast difference in boys who
start out in life to learn trade. The time
was when boy or young man serving an
apprenticeship put his whole soul into his
business. He went at it determined to
master it, and stuck to it until he had &C
complished his object and he went forth
into the world a credit to himself and his
trade But that time has passed, as rule,
and now young man starts in as an ap
prentice, not with determination to learn
the trade thoroughly and well, but to learn
it quickly and become a iourneyman. A
few months now sulces him to learn his
trade "a trade that years of practice and
experience cannot thoroughly master We
make this statement as fact, as it is borne
out by investigation and the number of big
oted workmen that are floating about the
country. A boy with few months APP
premiership "knows it all" and, getting
impatient under instruction, and with an
eye single to the almighty dollar, leaves his
place and applies for position as journey
man and because he will work for less
than a competent mans wages he is engag-
ed, and usually manages to pull through
by hook or crook. Such is the standard of
workmen today, Judging by the majority
and by the slight attention paid to the APP
prentice system in this country. But this
is neither right nor just. 1t is most dis
couraging to the boy who, with taste fol
mechanics and determination to become
proficient in his chosen trade, starts in t.
serve his time He has an interest in his
work, and is willing to forego for while
the pleasures and Injuries of life that h,
may educate himself to take a leading pc
sition We say it is discouraging, but al
honor to him who has the moral courage
and the determined will to it. Although
he may see others who are apparently out
stripping him in the race for "a livelihood
advancing much faster than himself, h,
must remember that the race is not Away

DRiry Hints,

1t should be the rule to get the purest and
best salt to be obtained for the purpose as
the best is none too good. A small amount
saved ON a hundred pounds Of salt is of lit
tie consequence if it proves in any manner
TO be inferior and thus Injuries the quality
of the butter Get the best kind and then
continue to use it rather than experiment
with other brands or grades.
Get the best tubs. The outside appear
ance of the packages has some influence on
the sale of the contents, as a dealer would
not be likely to look for fine quality of
butter in an inferior looking tub quite as
soon as in clean No. / package.
Better pay five or ten cents extra for the
right kind of a package rather than take a
poor one as gift
There is good deal of difference in the
quality of the timber from which the tubs
are made. The firm grained kind that will
not become brine-soaked and steamed before
reaching market is what will give the best
satisfaction.
A word about marketing the product OF
course every farmer that makes his own
butter should endeavor to secure as good a
market for it as possible Whether he can
do best by selling it at home, sending it to
commission men in the cities, or by looking
up some special customer to whom he can
sell direct, will be for him to determine.
But one course would not seem TO be best
in the end, that is having no stated market,
but selling first to one and then to another,
wherever for the time the best price can be
| obtained.
Perhaps for few weeks or months, il
there is some competition, he may get lit
| tie more money, but it will be at the ex-
pense of finding a steady market and obtain.
ing reputation for his product, which i,
very desirable in the course of few years.
Usually the dairymen who succeed best
are those who have obtained good reputa
ton for their butter in the market, and
which is of such quality as to command @
satisfactory price, year after year,
Some may say that such a course as thi,
is not progress, but we believe there may
be too frequent changes to be of real benefit
to those making them, and it is well to re
member the old adage, Look before you

where Our Agriculture stands.

The population of the United States is
only one fifteenth of that of our globe yet
our agriculture amounts in volume to one:
sixth of the worlds total We are becom-
ing more and more nation of manufactur-
ers, miners, and producers in various lines,
and yet our agricultural supremacy is so
far maintained that there is no question
that it can be held against any change that
may take place in any other part of the
world. When one reflects that national
stability and prosperity depend more upon
the perpetuty of agriculture and the growth
of the farming interest than upon the pros
perity of any other industry, the relation
in which our agriculture stands to that of
the rest Of the world is certainly a matter
for sincere self congratulation. We can
not afford to in any sense jeopardize this
high position 1t must he maintained at all
hazards. Our laws should be SO framed as
to favor agriculture in every possible way.
Thus the relation of our industries to each
other will remain symmetrical, and we
shall possess a national strength possible
only where industrial symmetry exists
National StOchmdn.
All of which is true but there is some
thing in these facts not especially favorable
to farmers. Our very great production
tends to reduce the price of farm products
below remunerative standard.

THE HOUSEHOLD.


Only a knowledge Of hygienic rules aud
a continual mental activity and interest in
the affairs Of life can produce the condition
so much desired, Of growing old gracefully.
A well known physician has given these
physical signs Of old age The action OF
the heart becomes weaker and less frequent,
the respiration slower the digestion weak
err, the muscles thinner, the skin shrunken,
the Joints stiff the teeth fall out, the HAIR
becomes gray the arteries become ossiiied,
and the entire form loses its elasticity and
becomes less erect than in adult age. 1t
is suggested that these alterations may be
obviated by strict attention to hygiene
rules, and the old age Of the historian Ban
croft and others illustrates how valuable
exercise is in retarding the disagreeable et-
fects of age. Some German authors OF a
work on home exercise recommend gymnas-
tics for old age They say in comment :
Even after old age has set in, bodily ex
ercise is still desirable in order to preserve
as much as possible large amount OF
strength. The exercise should, however,
be in harmony with the age and its attend
ant circumstances it should have a quiet
and mild effect consequently violent OF
sudden exercise, or that which calls FOL
great exertion, ought to be entirely avoid.
ed. Quite as important as exercise IN old
age are cheerfulness and activity of the
mind. Interest in the affairs of the young
is a valuable elixir of youth. As selfishness
is one of the most marked features of old
age. forgetfulness of self in the matters OF
Younger people undoubtedly assists in the
maintenance of mental vigor. The happl
est people among the aged are those who
live with the young, who share their hopes
and ambitions and who yet are not so alb
sorbed in worldly life that they are mo-
thoughtful of the other and higher world
whose bounds they have nearly touched

As near as can be ascertained, the cheese
factories of New England paid an average
of 81 cents per 100 pounds for milk for the
season of 1888. The creameries paid about
% cents the year through for the cream to
make "A pound of butter. This shows the
butter business is the better for the farmer
there, and we opine the reasons for il are,
one that butter had more of the winter

dairy products affects the price Of butter
more than it does cheese as the latter bears
