NOTES.

The Maine Farmer thinks farmers
are exercising far more intelligence in
the feeding Of their stock than in
feeding themselves
1t is said to be a fact that Canadian
and American cattle actually i'm
prove en- route for the English
market.
France leads US in educational
matters. The government requires
of the primary teachers a certificate
of ability to teach agriculture. We
are making just little advance in
that direction.
We see it stated that in South
Australia, out of an area of 1885,
600 acres, 1.673,O 900 are devoted to
wheat, leaving less than 100000
for all other crops. Last years crop
was five and a half bushels per acre,
and for the past ten years the aver
age has only been six and two-t thirds
bushels per acre. Farmers begin to

SOME ADVICE no THE FARMER.

standing in the wind.
Always milk the COWS regularly,
kindly, and with despatch.
Always have a w-plough ready
when the heavy SHOWS come.
Always count your chickens after
the period of incubat ton is passed.
Always think twice before the boy
is set to a task you would not do
yourself.
Always keep cellars cool-as near
$40 as possible which roots are
stored.
during the comparative leisure of
winter.
Always clean the mud from your
horses when you get home, and rub
them dry.
Always go to the barns just before
going to bed, to see that the stock is
all right.
Always keep the fences and gates
in order, and have a supply of posts
ready in the shop.
Always select the most vigorous
and well-ripened shoots for scions,
after which pack in bundles and store
in the cellar.
Always keep posted about the work
of the month and read the agricul-
tural papers, not forgetting the ad-
vertisements of implements and seeds.

hundred, and your lecture must be
worth great deal more than mine,
for you give facts, while l can only
furnish opinions"
Little as it is" answered Mrs
H., II am very glad to get it; l
would talk at that rate every mis- ht
during the winter"
For while the man sat in silence
then putting his hand in his pocket,
he drew out a roll OF bank notes, and
in ating manner, said:
81 don't want to be intrusive, but
one of the articles of my creed is that
a woman is entitled to the same paw
as man if she does the same amount
of work. My price for a nights talk
is 5000, and that sum they paid me
last night at T. now, if you will let
me divide it with you, l shall have
had my share, and the thing will be
even, don't you see ~
After much urging and many
thoughts of her needy little ones,
Mrs. H. was persuaded to put the
roll in her purse, but it was not until
the end of her journey that she ex-
amined the roll and found it contain
ed just 500.
Some years after she discovered
that her unknown benefactor was
Wendell Phillips, and being then past
the need OF help she essayed to pay
back the debt.
Don't speak of it," said Mr..
Phillips. Il had entirely forgotten
the incident"
That is very probable" she re-
piled, "but had never forgotten it ;
that money, and still more your
words of sympathy and encourage
ment, were the beginning of better
days; and l am now abundantly
able to pay back the money"
pass it on, then, my dear madam
pass it on to some one who needs
it."

"PA SIS 1T ON.O
penSeS.

After the close of the civil war the
north was filled with southern
refugees, many of them delicate
women, reduced from affluence to
poverty and compelled to earn liv-
ing for themselves and their families
One of these, says Youths Com
panion, was neice of Jefferson Davis,
a woman of unusual cultivation, who
found scanty and precarious sub
slstence by giving an occasional
lecture before country audience on
southern life. Sheltered and shielded
as she had always been, the struggle
with the world was hard Women
were just beginning to appear on the
public platform, and she was I'M
known and friendless; but she work
ed on, asking aid from no one.
1t was a cold, clustering January
day in 1868 when, cold and shiver-
ing from an early morning drive in
the rain, and with her thin wraps
dripping, Mrs. H. entered the Bos-
ton train at way station. All the

passengers, some with bags, bundles

CLIPPING FOWLS WINGS.

Clipping the wings of fowls, to
prevent their flying over the bound
airy line, is sometimes a necessary
operation, but it needs never to be
made a dishguring one. Some
shorten all the wing feathers, cutting
them close, and giving an unsigh thy,
stubbed appearance to the fowl. But
we have found that removing a few
centre quilts, cut with the aid of a
sharp knife or shears, does all that is
necessary to prevent flying. Only
one wing needs to be clipped, as the
preponderance of weight on that
side makes it impossible for the bird
to take even a short flight. The
feathers, left in the natural state,
aid in keeping the bird warm, as well
as helping to keep the eggs in posi-
ton when sitting on the nest. And
another reason why one should use
all due discretion in abstracting from
a bird a portion of its own proper
plumage is, that there is always an
effort on the part of nature to replace
whatever has been lost in her own
immediate realm. And the process
OF reproducing the missing feathers
takes so much from the vitality of
the fowl, which might otherwise
have been expended in putting on fat
or in producing eggs American

PREPARING THE VEGETA BILE
GARDEN.

In the depth of winter, much OF
the preparation of the vegetable
garden may be advanced, that early
crops may be started and successful
ly grown. The ground should be in
the finest condition. Natural or else
artificial drainage is indispensable,
or the garden which is a mass of mud
when the frost disappears will be a
month late with its crops. Addition
al fertility may be impaired by
winter manuring. Let it be all
broken fine and evenly spread on the
frozen ground or snow. Then, as
soon as thawing occurs in spring, it
may be we'll mixed with the upper
soil with the light harrow or culti-
vator. 1t should not be turned I'M
der without this thorough inter
mixture. Manure in Jumps is of far
less value tn n when finely difused.
A well drained garden may be put in
order for planting very early, and
well enriched for the growth of early
vegetables by doing as much of the
work III winter as practicable.
For the successful growth of gar
den crops, including the termination
of the seed, a finely pulverized soil is
all important. Coarse Jumps will
only touch the seeds in few points,
and the rest will be in contact with
air cavities; while a fine soil will fully
encase the seeds and impart all need
ed moisture to them Hence the i'm
portance of an early preparation of
the ground, by thorough drainage,
pulverized manure, and the use of the
light plough and cultivator as soon
as the condition of the ground will
admit in early spring.
inexperienced gardeners often cause
failure by burying seed too
deep, which coarsely pulverized soil
appears to require for moisture. But
when reduced to a fine powder, a
shallow covering, with the moisture
which it supplies, will be more sue
cessful. Small seeds, like those of
turnips and celery, and even those as
coarse a s beets. must not be covered
at much depth; but corn and peas
and other coarse kinds may be buried
deeper beneath the surface, provided
sufficient moisture is supplied them.

than that which the markets would
take few years ago. Still more lib
eral use of this plant will be attended
with advantage to all. AS nervine
and for the relief of rheumatism, it
has the sanction of medical men.
But for the farmer the advantage of
celery lies largely in the fact that it
enables him to diversity crops. The
more kinds of food products he grows
the less dependent he will be on
chances of the season and markets.

SOUARELY FOR SILVER.

There are many intelligent persons
who imagine that the silver question
is local one and that the advocates
of free coinage are confined to the
Western and southern States.
The spesch Of Senator Hill Of New
York proves that those who think 30
are mistaken. Hill has the reputa-
ton of being a shrewd, far-seeing
practical politician, who keeps close
to the people and never runs counter
to public sentiment. He is the first
Senator from the Eastern States to
advocate the free coinage of gold and
silver, and he does 80 forcibly and
fearlessly. He advances new ideas
on the subject and goes as far as sill
YER champions of Nevada, Colorado
and the Southern States, in favor of
the debased metal. He points out
how free coinage made our gold and
silver dollars equal by every test,
from the establishment of the mint
in 1862 to the passage of the demon
etIzation Act Of 1873, and he declares
in the language Of Jefferson that the
maney unit must stand upon both
gold and silver
Hill has just taken the seat of U. s.
Senator, and no doubt the free coin
Rge bill introduced in that body by
Senator Stewart will afford oppor-
trnity to test his sincerity, which is
questioned by come Of our trucking
contemporaries, that have abandoned
the silver fight because the admins
tration is opposed to free coinage.
