Soon, ! .--,-v.r, I found that 1 was driving west instead of south, and there was constantly so many V.ran. h r-a.U that I was indee.l puzzled to i.u.i, t.i take. Just then a boy of iliont fifteen vears of age rode up on horse- j ,n. k and a bright, handsome lad he was. i lie informed me that I was off the direct , route hut that he would ride across the ; vrairi'e with me until I reached the right j nad. I soon drew him into a conversation i in w hi'-h I was much interested. His expe- ! ri. ii e in farming I know will be interesting . to other Im.vs, j.-rhaps serviceable to their . parents, so fieri- is his story: We all came here two years ago last Spring, and father immediately entered a claim mi- j der the Hotnotead Law for one hundred and ; ixty acres of land and it s first rate land, . t... I can tell von: none N-tter anywhere alx.ut here. Well, father said he wanted to ncourage me in In-ing industrious, but lie ; went to work vcrv ctitiereimj if""' ""' "'V I know in encouraging me. ov there is Mr who lives on the .luarter-section al ioinin" ours, and he has two sons, .John and Henry. John is a little older than I. ami 1 l. nrv a year vounger. Well, the way he en tourages' his bovs is by having them up by daylight in the morning and keeping them on a keer. jump all dav long. He hardly al lows them time t eat their meals. Y hy, last Minmicr thev worked till nine o'clock every cvi-iiin and didn't find an hour all summer in which thev could go a-ti-hing, or even in sw imining. Then to iav them, the old man give them their hoard and his own worn out clothes, with occasionally a pair of boots or something of the kind thrown in. That is the wav he teaches them to be industrious. Hut f. lihcr's plan is entirely different. He gave me four acres of land which he had broken (this was two years ago last Spring), and I was to do jn-t what I pleased with it, and he would furnish me seed or means to obtain seed : all that he required of .me was that I should attend to the garden, do chores -.it the bam. and go to school in the winter. The first vear I planted corn, and from my four acres I raised l-'o bu.-hels, which I sold nt :i cents a bushel. The next Spring father let me have the use of his team, and I ploughed my four acres .nil i.hmted one and a ha f acres in casior re 1 p nlants. one acre in sorgh onions, and the remainder of the acre in snn ilowets. Kat her laughed when I told him my plans, but he said it was mv own land and I ou!d do as I liked with it. I told him I wanted to expel imeiit on different crops. s :is to see which was the most profitable. Well, mv caster beans were a great ileal of trouble. ' I hail to watch them so closely, not to lose them w hen they cracked open. It was necessary to pick them immediately as fast as thev ripened : but inv little sister, seven vears old. could attend to them about as well sis I. and she did this faithfully on my promis ing her when I sold mv crops in the Kali. I raised twenty-two bushels of beans off of mv one and a-h'alf arp's. which I sold nt f 1. '-" u bushel: so alter pining mv sister 1 re alized for them S-'J..".".

Upon them are transported whatever surplus produet9 the farm aflorda, and npon theaa the farmer depends for his op portunities to pass from one neighbor hood to another. r ow so rar as the transportation of heavy loads is con cerned, the amount that can be traas- i ported bears a direct proportion to the condition ot trie roaa oea anu iu ue clivity ; both of which may be combin ed to gieatly reduce the load, or either alone may be the means of measuring the load that can easily pass along without serious hindrances. Aside from that class of obstacles which may be properly considered as insurmount able, in all cases roads should be im proved in every possible direction and by all practical means. Other things being equal, the more firm the road bed.'the better it is for travel, and also the better for conveying loads. But very frequently the road passes over suc h a vaiiety of soils, even In moder ate distances, as to present a variable surface ; wherever sucli cases occur they can be amended by artificial means, that is, if a portion should be sandy, by the addition of a little dry or compact earth its condition will be so changed as to make it much harder and better able to sustain a load. At mospheric conditions may also very materially affect temporarily the sur face of a travelled road, aside from those changes occasioned by frost: thus a clayey road which would be rendered exceedingly muddy after a severe shower would be very much improved by the use of sand and gra vel. Where the soil is inclined to moisture, a partial system of under drainage will not only prevent mud ot. t.lio'time of showers, but will also very much assist in maintaining a j good condition while the frost is com- j ing out in the spring, which otherwise i would render it impassible. As a general rule in the repair, say ingnothingof the construction of roads too little regard is paid to the mater- BAKOAINS ial employed; it is entirely wrong to make use of vegetable matter tnac is subject to decay and change, for al though when in a dry state it may be passable upon a road, when wet by means of rain and showers it occasions slough holes of mud. It is better for the farmer, and certainly much better for the road, to have the sods grow ing in the ditches conveyed to the farmyard and used for composting, rather than have them used in any re pairs. Where it can be obtained un der ordinary circumstances, a gravelly loam will make a good average road bed, and will become so compacted as to form a comparatively hard and smooth travelling path, and is the material which should be used. It is no uncommon thing to see upon a much-travelled road at some point a short distance that is extremely bad under nearly all circumstances and which remains the same year after year for want of an application of a few common sense ideas in the matter of repairs. Xew England Farmer. l'o Stones Xouiusit Soils. The Philadelphia Farmers' Market Club, at the last meeting of its members, dis carded tiic idea that stones dissemina ted fertilizing properties to soil. This is in direct opposition to the views of scientists and indeed against the evi dence that fact brings to light. Cer tain rock contains magnesia largely, other stone is permeated with potash The permanent fertility of knolls and hills, from which loam is continually washed, is attributed hy Dr. Leidy, to the continual decomposition of rock. The narrow valley of the Yosemite is extremely fertile, yet the basin is cov ; ered with a debris of granite that has fallen from the face of the encircling ' barriers of solid wall. The Mercede i river is a creation mainly of snows I from not very distant peaks. Its bed : being mostly rock it is not a carrier of ! loam. This may be said of many of j the extremely fertile canyons of Colo : rado. Farmers are practical observ ! crs and generally up to the mark in ; agricultural lore, but in this instance ! we think the' hit somewhat wide of . the mark. R.M?!.o l'i.. The uiost import- ant thing for the swine breeder at this bcasou of the year is to get the great- ! est possible growth from his spring j pigs. There is no period in the life of the hog when so great a return for the food consumed is possible as dur ing the first six months and it is here that the advantages of skillful feeding are apparent. Unless great care be taken the growth of the pig will be seriously checked when it is trom three to five weeks old. The milk of the dam, which was ample to promote a rapid growth in the litter of pigs dur ing the first two or three weeks is not sufficient to answer the demands of of the same litter as they grow older ; hence the pigs should early be taught to look elsewhere for a part of their sustenance. This is an easy matter. A little milk or nutritious food of any kind, in liquid form, placed conveni ently by, where the pigs can have ac cess to it at all times, but beyond the reach of the sow, will soon do the work, and it should be replenished frequently through the day. If this is attended to there will be no "stunting" of the pigs at this critical period, and their growth will be uniform and rap id. A good clover pasture is a valu able adjunct and helps wonderfully. The true secret of successful pork mak ing is to push the pig from the date of birth until it is big enough for the market ; and the earlier the age at which this point can be reached, the greater is the return for the food con sumed A slop made of corn and oats, ground in about equal parts, with a little oil-meal added, makes the best food for the sow while suckling, to increase the flow of milk ; and this, with clover pasture and plenty of soak ed corn during the summer, will pro mote a rapid and healthy growl h of the pigs.
