FARM NOTES A Boy oN A Fanra.—It is my im pression that a farm without a boy would soon come to grief. What a boy dees is the life of the farm. He is the factotum, always in demand,and always expected to do the thousand and one things that nobody else will do. Upon him fall the odds and ends, the most difficult things, After every- body alse 1s through, he 1s to flush up. His work is like a woman’s perpetually waiting on others. Everybody knows how much easier it is to cook a good dinner than to wash the dishes after. ward, Consider what a boy on a farm is required to do, things that must be done, or life would actually stop, Itis understood, in the first place, that be is to do all the errands, to go to the store, to the postoffice and to carry all sorts of messages. If he had as many iegs as the centipede they would tire before night, He is the one who spreads the grass as the men cut it; he stows it away In tle barn; he rides the horse to cultivate the corn up and down the hot, weary rows; he picks up the potatoes when they are dug; he brings wood and water and splits kindling; he gets up the horsc and turns out the horse, Whether he is in the house or out of «he house, there 1s always something to do. Just before school in the winter he shovels paths; in the summer he turns the grindstone, And yet, with his mind full of schemes of what he would like to do, and his bands full of occupation, he Is an idle boy who has nothing to busy himself with but school and chores, He would gladly do all the work if somebody else would do all the chores, he thinksjand yet, I doubt if any boy ever amounted to anything in the world, or wus of much use as a man, who education in the way of chores, and blackberries, if you have not al- ready done so, and trim up the grape vines. This work is best done in cold weather, Ilake up all the old canes and vines and burn them. tion can be done in February and as bit a few weeks remain before out- door work will begin all work done February will be an advantage. A SUBSCRIBER writes that February the ben be provided with a good warm box, and the heads of the chicks be raised in the coldest weather, They should be fed four times a day on warm meal mixed with water and milk, with an occasional egg added. When feathered give the chicks cracked corn and wheat. Dunng, dry weather the chicks may run in the yard. THE evening's milk of cows is said ing’s milk. The average of tests made milk contained 14.3 per cent. of solids and the morning milk 13.4 ver cent. should no be mixasd with that af a pre- vious milking, and the food may also cause a variation in the solids, A NEw MANURE.—DBasig slag, the refuse of steal works, when freed from iron and reduced to a powder proved to be a valuable fertilizer, principally on account of the phosphorous it con- tains. Mountains of black slag bave accomulated about the iron and stesl works in England, and much ia this country, all of which can be profitably worked over and made into a valuable manure, AN IMPORTANT FACT.

When Col, Sumpter was in New York, stroll- ing about and seeing what was to be seen, he noticed by the side of the door of a large mansion on Fourth avenue, right under the bell, the words: “Please ring the bell for janitor.” After reflecting a few minutes, Col. Sumpter walked up and gave the bell such a pull that one might have sup- posed he was trying to extricate it by the roots. In a few minutes an angry. faced man tore the door open. ; “Are you the janitor?” asked Col, Sumpter, “Yes; whit do you want?” “*I saw that notice, ‘Please ring the bell for janitor,’ so I rang for you, and now [I want to know why can’t you ring the bell yourself?"
