Paving no nUention to the maxim:— A stitch in time saves nine," in regard to the sowing ofgrainand planting seed at the prop er season. , Leaving reaper, plows, cultivators, etc. uncovered from the rain and heat of the sun. More money is lost in thi3 way than most people are willing to believe. Permitting broken instruments to be scat tered over the farm until they are irrcpairable. By repairing broken instruments at the prop er time many dollars may be saved, a proof of the assertion that "time is money. Attending the auction sales, and purchas ing all kinds of trumpery, because, in ihe words of the vender, the articles are very Allowing fences to remain unrepaired until strangejcattle are found grazing in the meadow, grain field, or bruising the fruit trees. Disbelieving the principle o{ a rotat,on 0< crops before making a single experiment. Planting fruit trees with the expectation of having fruit, without giving the trees half the attention required to make them profitaule. Practicing economy by depriving Btock of proper shelter during the winter, and giving them unsound food, such as half rotten and mould bay and fodder. Keeping an innumerable tribe of rats on the premises, and two or three lazy dogs that eat np more in a month than they arc worth in a whole life time. And lastly, be loses by not reading the advertisements of those who patronize the printer, tbev being invariably the most enter prising and liberal houses to deal with, when he goes to town. SMALL MATTERS. There are many otherwise good farmers who are entirely regardless ot little fixtures, and who devote all their time to the larger matters. Now w#hold that while tue latter should by all means be made the objects of at tention, the former should on no accouut be neglected, and it is as muc-b the part of a thorough good farmer to see to the one as to the other. We enjoy visiting a farm where this attention to little mutters, this time spent in "fixing up," is everywhere noticeable and in complete keeping with ihe more weighty matters. We like to seeyour well built gates instead of bars, barn-doors on rollers instead of hinges, and fodder racks tor sheep instead of feeding tbem upon the ground or floor. We like to see all doors to outbuildings provi ded with hasps, for both fastening them upon the inside if necessary, and also for securing them back, when open, from the action of the wind: to see a gate to shut across a barn door to keep out cattle or sheep when the door is open; to find in connection with every barn or stable, a closet for harnesses or carriage robes, as well as a tool-room for the storage of the larger farm tools and implements; to fiud hooks for hanging up odd pieces ot rope, chains, shovels and the like, and nails for hanging up the smaller tools and utensils used upon the farm, as well as boxes for the reception of old iron and every sort of waste; and a work-bench aud tools for making and repairing all kinds of tarm implements. If in examining the buildings upon a farm we find the latter, we are also generally sure to find all the other conveniences suggested above, as well as many others it is not neces sary to enumerate. And one hardly knows, without having tried it. how much the farmer can accomplish during the spare hours in the way of fixing up his buildings with these handy accompaniments, nor how much they add to the actual value of the farm, not only for himself in performing the necessary work upon it, but in the estimation ot any one wishing to purchase a fujou. Attention to these little matters marks the really economi cal, successful farmer. V.'c recently passed the residence of a man, who would be indignant did we not cIaES him among the best farmers in the town where he resides, whose oxcart was standing by the roadside, where it was last used, and a part of whose harrow was visible from beneath a snowdrift in an adjourning field. They will be ready when wanted in the spring, but we fear the example of ill ■ farmer in this matter will be hard to be counteracted by his more commendable qualities: and the contrast be tween bim and the farmer who has all his tools and implements well housed in his outbuild ings or barn cellar is too striking to need fur ther illustration.— Main Farmer. THE LESSON OF THE YEAR. If anything be wanted to teach people how cold kills plants, the past winter affords the material. It was at one time supposed that Irost destroyed plants ly rupturing the sap vessels. The cells were believed to expand and burst by frozen sap. It was known that a bottle of water would burst in this way,— and why should not a plant cell? The plant was killed, and the bottle destroyed; what more natural than to suppose the process identical? Some years ago, the writer of this attempt ed to show the fallacy of such a theory. In iloevy r Magazine of that time, some of onr best horticulturists argued the point. We endeavored to satisfy our friends that, when evaporation went on f.u-ier than the roots could supply moisture, the plant had to die. No theory of cell-bursting was necessary. Evaporation is excessive in cold weather \\ hen there is not enough moisture to fill the cells wheu it goes out faster than it comes in—they die; not by bursting, but by shrink ing away. A recognition of this fact will save many a tender tree: and a review of the past wiintcr s loses must convince any one that such is the fact. IS e have not had an extraordinary low temperature, yet plants never suffered so. Lut we had a higher wind, coupled with a low temperature, than ever knew before. Ihe exhaustive strain on the evaporative powers of a plant in the high wind, even in a temperate atmosphere, is enormous. llow much greater must it be in a very cold me dium? 1 hus we see that wherever there is a shel ter irou wind, lue tender plant escapes; bnt set even the hardiest where the wind .can concentrate all its power against it; set for in stance, an Oriental, or a Norway Spruce on a bank near a house where the winds can sweep around it, and it will "go" equally *itb the tenderest. * l strange it is that men cannot learn ri .i, ii.e se facts! People have yet such re ligious i d eration for the thermometer as 1 """ '' 3 \ e guide in this matter, that it . f " ""*B® "m any one to suggest any thtng better. English papers, and some of ° ur ow led with comparisons of the thermometer and the deaths, as if this was " " 01 Horticultural knowledge. ' lope Ally understand that f 1 " 1P lygromcter and the Dynamic " r, . C w '"ds are quite as important to -u.it, an ,n i;,e ansenceof any good instru ments like the thermometer to assist us, we can only CW he who is wise, will shelter lag barns, his houses, his cattle, his orchards, his rare plants, trees and Sowers. Plant trees,—fast growing, hardy trees, —every- where around from whence a cold dry wind may blow, and you will be astonished to find that although your thermometer may sink to unheard of figures, your plants are not near as much hurt as those ot him who still clings to the old notion that frost bursts the sap ves sels and there is no help for it. Dryness is au especial weakness of our climate; and as antagonistic to this, the watchword of every progressive Horticulturist should be shelter, shelter, shelter.

HABTEI.Y COLEPUDGE once being asked which of Wordsworth's productions he considered the prettiest, very promptly replied: "His daughter Dora." A LEARNED coroner being asked how he ac counted for the great mortality this year, ex claimed. "I cannot tell; people seem to die this year that never died before." "POOR old.General Debility!" exclaimed Mrs. Partington, "it is surprising how long he lives and what excitement he creates; the papers are full o*f remedies fcr him." A LITTI.E boy seeing a drunken man prot trate before the door of a groggery, opened the door, and putting in his head, said to the proprietor. "See here, sir; your sign has fallen down!" A CHICAGO paper says the women of Utab have recently altered the orthography of their creed. Tbey now spell it Moremen instead of Mormon. A LADY wished a seat in a crowed hall.

EVE is said to be the only woman who never threatened to go and live with her mother, and Adam, the first mau who ever : went to housekeeping without first trying to ! board with his mother in law. 'DID you know,' said a cunning Gentile to ' a Jew 'that they hang Jews and jackasses 1 together in Portland ? "Indeed! retorted Solomon, "den it ish veil dat you and I ish not dare.' 'WHO is that pretty girl' asked a well: known Boston divine the other evening at a j wedding. 'That is Miss Glass, 'answered a friend. 'Let the young man beware of such j au intoxicating glass,' was the quick response, i A YOUNG gentleman, visiting his intended, met a rival who was somewhat advanced in years, and wishing to insult him inquired how old he was. 'I can't exactly tell,' replied the other, "But I can tell you that an ass is older at twenty than a man at sixty." MR. FULLER, a Methodist preacher, found it necesary to eke out a scanty living by sel ! ling sermons. lie called on a lady in a parish where he once labored. As he announced his errand, the lady expressed her horror and surprise. "What! Mr. Fuller, I thought you labored for souls, aud not for money." Ful ler replied: "A minister can't live on souls; and if he could, ho'd soon depopulate such a region as this!" DOCTOR.— Well, how did }our wife manage her shower bath, deacon?" Deacon. "She had real good luck. Madame Moody told her how she managed. She had a large oiled silk cap, with a cape to it, like a fisherman's, that came over her shoulder and head." Doctor. —"She's a fool for her pains. That's not the way." Deacon—"So my wife thought." Doctor. —"Your wife did nothing of the sort, I hope." Deacon.—"Oh, no; she used an umbrella." Ax ELECTION JOKE.—A stolid Dutchman was stauding at a certain plaeo on election day, inquiring for 'de regular Democratic dicket,' when a shrewd fellow stepped up and supplied him with the genuine thing. 'Veil now,' says Hans, vot vill I does mit him?' 'Put it in that box,' pointing to the ballot box, said several voices. But the cunning chap who had accommo dated him with the 'dicket,' whispered in his ear,'don't let them fool yon; put it in your pocket, it's yours; don't let them cheat you out of your vote.' And so he did; ramming the ticket away down to the bottom of a deep pocket in his coat, and walking off as mad as could be at the rogues who wanted to cheat him out of his vote. 'WELL, Mr. Snow, I want to ax you a ques tion.' 'Propel it, den.' 'Why am a grog shop like a counterfeit dollar ?' 'Well, Ginger, I gibs dat up.' 'Does you gib it up? Kase you can't pass it.' 'Yah ! yah, nigger, you talk so much about your counterfeit dollars, just succeed to de form why a counterfeit dollar is like an apple pie ?' 'O, I dr-ips de subject, and don't know nothin' 'bout it.' 'Kase it isn't current.' JANE, what letter in the alaphabet do you like best ?" "Well, I don't like to say, Mr Snobbs." "Pooh, nonsense ! say right out. Which do you like the best!" "Well," putting her finger in her mouth j and dropping her head, "I like U best." j JIM SMITH was a noted auctioneer. One day he was selling farm stock. Among the ] articles to be sold was a heifer, very attractive j in her appearance, and consequently "Jim" dwelt quite extensively on her many excelen cies, winding up his eloquent flourish that she was as "gentle as a dove." Thereupon, a long, slab-sided countryman: whose legs were some twelve inches longer than his pants, ap proaching the heifer and stooping down com menced handling her teats. Bossy, not relishing such familiarity, lifted her hoofs and laid "Greeny" sprawling some ten feet off. "There," said-"Jim," "that shows one of her best traits; she' 11 never allow a strange calf to come near her 1" "Greeny" meanwhile picked himself up, aud giving his bushy pate a harrowing scratch exclaimed: "No wonder she won't when her own calf has been bleating around her all dag.
