AGRICULTURAL.
Keep the Farm Neat.

There are several remuneretive
things in keeping the farm neat and in
good trim, and many unremunerative
things connected with the farm that is
filthy and neglected. Neatness is an
agent of health and fllthiness and dis
order are causes of disease. The habit
of putting machinery in place under
cover, cleaning up the yard, moving
weeds around the fields and cutting
scattering bushes in the pasture lie
frequently contagious and when a
farmer does these things he uncon-
sciously induces all his neighbors to do
the same. The opposite of neatness is
not as contagious, but is disgusting to
every one Of reasonably neat dispo-
sition. The farmers Guide, in dis
cussing the subject, Gays:
1.-THE farmer who trains his mind
and eyes and ears to know, see and
hear things that are "out of joint" on
the farm is very good neighbor for
the rest Of us to pattern after. If we
would all train ourselves to see and
recognize the things that are as they
should not be and endeavor to put
them Alright the community would be
the better for our having lived in it.
Ii we take pride in our farms and our
homes we are very apt to take pride in
mn kOunoh,,,
county, our state, our country and our
Creator. The way to lay foundation
for this pride is to keep a close lookout
for the little things that go wrong, and
yet it takes but few days each year
to keep the brush cut away from the
fences, to nail up a board here and
there that may have become loosened,
to keep the fence up straight, with no
weak places to tempt stock to break
through into the owners or neighbours
field of grass or grain. to put the inn
plements under shelter when not in
use, to pick Eup boards lying around
the barn and house, to trim the fruit
trees and cut out old dead or dying
branches, to NOW the lawn at least
once year, to arrange all the gates 30
that they will freely swing on their
hinges, to have well kept garden,
good supply of small fruit, the pump
in good working order, good supply
of dry wood under shelter, to keep the
roadside clean and brushes cut. to
clean out all open bitches, and to look
after the stock frequently and carefully
all these take but little time at the
proper time and they increase the cash
value OF the farm. If we have in the
past neglected these things, let us re-
solve to do differently. Possibly we
will not have 80 many leisure hours,
but we will be adding to the looks and
worth Of our earthly possessions and to
our standing as men and farmers"

New England Farms.

Thousands of farms in New England
are being purchased by people from
cities for summer homes and in some
instances for home during the entire
year. There is hardly town in New
England where this movement has not
reached and in some towns more than a
hundred thousand dollars has been paid
by such people for farms and improve
ments already made. 1t will not ma
terially increase the volume of farm
productions placed upon the market,
but will give prosperous and progress
sive appearance to hundreds of such
country towns. This increased tax
able property, helps to maintain roads
and schools and the occupants of these
farms contribute much in social and
educational matters.
In addition to this class of people
many are taking up farms as a means
of livelihood for themselves and their
families. Many thrifty, industrious
people Of strong constitution and physi-
cal vigor are coming into the country
towns and are fast taking lead in all
public matters. Mr.. Hezekiah Butter.
worth said not long since in the The
Reuie,o Of Reuie,uS:
"The thousands of abandoned farms
of New England are being purchased by
people from many countries and are dis
appearing" The old farms have new
value. The Portuguese, the Italian
and the Canadian is found in almost
every community, and it behooves the
thrifty New Highlander to receive his
Latin neighbor well, for he has come
to stay and vote and his many children
are to vote. The outcome of these
changes we cannot forsee. But of one
thing We may be reasonably sure, that
an honorable man can have no more
honorable or stable possession than
New England farm on which no mort
gage remains, accompanied by the pro.
lection of sum equal to its value in
some solid bank.
$50 l would repeat, whether in New
England or elsewhere, if you have a
farm keep it; if not, get one, for the
time may come when this country will
be largely divided into monopollsts, de-
pendants and farmers, and the farmer |
will be the most independent of all men
and the saving power OF our insttu-
lions. The relief from the perplexing
problems of the time is simple, honest,
character building, faith sustaining life
on the soil.
The permanency of the New England
school and historical scenery, the as
sured stability of her manufactures,
with the tendency to create the finest
fabrics, the prospective revival of COM
merce, the grange, and the enterprises
incidental to the conditions make the
New England farm an ideal possession.
The New England farmer who says
The farm is thing of the past is him
self but product of The past. The
nan who has $4,000 farm in New
England, with $4,000 in the bank, and
who will live within his means, is a
Millionaire, and his possession and con-
eminent are not unlikely to outlast
hat OF the millionaire"
