AGRICULTUKAL EDUCATION-WOEK
That the book worm will make a poor far
mer, as a general rule, every body knows.
However, he has certainly little wisdom who
discards book-gained knowledge. To be a
successful farmer the boy must be early train
ed to independent observation and judgment,
to a reliance upon himself, and to see that
success orfailu.e results from causes, which,
if he knows enough, he may regulate. This
can never come satisfactorily without a thor
ough knowledge of work. Every farmer will
agree with as in this, and we have rarely
known one who did not put the t cork theory
into practice—and often with most indiscreet
energy. Boys are ambitious and delight in
praise. They begin tough and hearty: —they
scorn the light work very soon ; —they aspire
to do ''the work of a man"—to be worth
more to their fathers than any men they can
hire; —they learn quickly how to do every
kind of work. They hoe, and rake, and bind,
and swing the ax, and fodder the stock, and
look after the hired men ; they save the farm
ers many steps, for—the boys never get out
of breath, or never say so. They do harder j
work, and aspire to dc the hardest. At 16. |
they take their places with the mowers: at
17, they are expert cradlers and pitchers, and
do every kind of work so well that their
praise is on every body's lips, and the homey
handed men look on in astonishment to see
the feats of strength and endurance which
they show. The result is in a majority of
cases that the boys break down; they strain
themselves and grow out of shape, have fits
of fainting in the' field, headache, giddiness,
blindness ; grow thin and pale, and take to
their books, perhaps to novel reading; lose
interest in the farm, and so after all their
brillianUpromise, go into some other business
or make very poor farmers. We can name a
score of very much such cases.
There is a remedy—and it is a simple one,
namely: more brain-work and less hand
work.
This is easier stated than carried out, for
the ambition of a good boy to work is con
s taatly excited on the farm, by the results of
what work does, continually before his eyes,
and by the presence cf laborers who will in
evitably encourage the greatest outlays of en
ergy and strength on his part. Ho has no
such incitements to study on the farm, and in
fact, much work and much study are entirely
i ncompatible. The weary body demands rest,
in which the mind must participate. Never
theless, the evil of overworking boys is so
great that we must, even again and again,
cantio n parents, and the boys themselves,
against it, as one notable cause of so many
inferior farmers.
But very few farmers can afford to give
t heir sons anything more than what is called
"A Common School Education"—that is, as
regards book learning. Almost, none how
ever, are so straightened in means that they
can not have good books and papers. They
ean throw upon their sons the responsibility
of learning what other people think and say
about this or that crop, or practice, or way of
treating crops, or alout the insects which
may anno y them, and about a thousand-and
one things which may be made the subjects
of investigation npon the tarm.
Besides, a farmer needs a knowledge of
many other kinds of work—not straightfor
ward farming—and the young farmer's win
ters can hardly be spent to better advantage
than in acquiring|familiarity with one or mor
trades. The writer well remembers thg
months spent in the cabinet maker's shop in
learning the U3e of tools. He was not of
much use to the cabinet maker, but the
knowledge gained has been worth a great
deal to him ever since. We advise anv
young farmer who can get such a place to
give two or even six months labor gratuitous
ly to the blacksmith in his shop, or to the
carpenter, or to the sadler, or to the wheel
wright, and to do so every winter, until a
good insight is gained of these trades. In a
stony country, where wall laying is an impor
tant accomplishment, time should be taken
to learn this, and there is some opportunity
almost every season, to learn practically the
principles of framing houses, or joiuer work.
The use of this practicul education in differ
ent kinds of work does not make a farmer a
"Jack-of-all-trades,'' but it makes him at
least a better judge of other men's work, and
a much better and "handier" farmer.—

PROPAGATION OF FISH.
Have you a living spring upon your farm ?
or hare you a pond that does not dry up in
summer? Ifyou have, you can easily raise fish
much more easily raise them for food than
you can heel or pork. In Europe the raising
of fish lor market is carried on largely by
private persons. It is attended with great
profit. The principal outlay is in preparing
the ponds, and stocking them with the choic
er kinds of fish. They need but little care
or attention. They require but little food,
though it is found profitable to feed them
some, as they will mature quicker. They are
easily caught in nets, and the smaller ones are
thrown back and the larger ones sold. Fresh
fish have always been considered one of the
luxuries of the table. Our western farmers
could raise them as well as they can stock.
Let them make their ponds and put in their
fish, and they will multiply wonderfully. The
spawn of the choicer kinds can be obtained
and transported thousands of miles We
commend this subject to the consideration of
our readers and hope they will act upon our
suggestions. — Rural World.
SALT FOR FATTENING SWINE.
A correspondent of the Aneakn des Lcizd
wirthchajt states some interesting experiments
to test the use of saltiu fattening swine. He
selected two pairs of barrows, weighing two
hundred pounds each. One pair received
two ounces of salt with their daily allowance;
the other pair, similarly fed, none. In the
course of a week it was easily seen that the
salted pair had a much stronger appetite than
the others, and after a fortnight the quantity
of salt was increased to two ounces apiece.
After four months the weight of the salted
hogs was three hundred and fiftypounds each,
while that of the unaalted pair, five weeks
later, was each fifty pounds less. The ex
periment was repeated with almost exactly
the same results. The writer feeds young
pigs, according to their age, a quarter of
an ounce daily; breeding sows very little du
ring pregnancy, and during the heat of sum
mer withholds it in a great degree from all,
induces thirst and liability to disease.

and resources will be furnished on application at
the Principal Office,

wealth and permanence of the mines. The title
to the property has been subjected to the most
careful examination, and found to De perfect in
particular—of which fact the highest official en

of ore Irom the mines. As soon as the working
capital of the Company is s. cured, the erection of
permanent and efficient reduction works will be

tunate enougn to secure stock in the MACEDON
SILVER MINING COMPANY will rcrp a muni
ficent reword, in the shape of early and unexam
pled dividends, and the consequent rapid enhance
ment of the market value of the Stock.
A full Prog£)ectu9 of the Company will bo issued
previous to January Ist.
