whieh you can find in abundance will

ing can be finer to give an early push
to the fattening hogs, when fid to
them green, stalks and all.
Is the matter of cult ■itiui/ i rti !
b't n if , i.yi we practice what we
preach, and at the time of this writ
big. just one wci k after th< corn was
planted, the hat rows are going over
the cornfield in n most thorough
manner. Then is no other time be
tween rornplanting and corn cutting
when so thorough and effective cul
tivation can be done at -o little ex
pense.
T II r llurnl ,V'ir ) orl.rr takes but
little stock in Millet, as appears frotn
this:
We liavc grown ,t and Hungarian
(irass, which i* also a millet, for
three years on light soil, and have
never succeeded in obtaining a satis
factory yield. In one case we at
tributed this to the fact that the
land was not well prepared ; in an
other to drought, though it is said
to withstand drought well, and in the
third instance to poor land and poor
preparation. Writers instruct us to
sow in June with the assurance it
will mature in 60 days, or less. That
is true, but we have never aeen even
a fair yield on any kind of land if
grown during a very dry season.
()i r readers will remember that
the tenant house on the Pkmockat's
farm was burned last fall, and that
wo improved the occasion to preach
a little sermon upon the importance
of insuring. Last week we finished
building a new bouse, to lake the
place of the burned one, and the inan
who is to occupy it is just now oom
fartabij settled in it. The few months
expcrfcn<e of doing without s bouse
j lias more than ever convinced us of
| the propriety and advantage of em
j ploying married men as farm laborers,
and furnishing tliem with comfort*
i able houses. The house just com
pleted, though neither large nor ex
i pensive, is Comfortable, handsome in
j its way, conveniently arranged, and
has already proven itself an induce
nient to a rjuoil inun to seek employ
ment with us. In building it we
have proven, to our own satisfaction,
at least, that an inexpensive house
may be made ornamental to the farm,
convenient for it* occupants, and a
thorough comfort to its owner. The
outside is of unpinned boards, bat
tened. Tie inside is all of oak.
I loors, sides and ceilings arc oak,
planed,matched and leaded. IJctwci n
the outside boarding and the wains
coting i* a complete layer of build
ing paper. The joists f.<r tli" floor of
the second story are planed and
beaded on the lower corner*, and the
lbeir hoardan-plan- i and b< -td< 1 on
the lower side, and const.rule a lin
i*ln <1 and decidedly handsome ceil
ing. All the inside work is 1< ft the
natural color of the wool, but is
covered with a hard finish known as
"I'elbuudi'i-," made by tin Avert, l
Chemical I'aint Co. The outside i~
; thoroughly painted two coats, w.th
A vei ill < hcmi'-al I'a.nt, which after
i an i xpeiicnec of 'welvc \i ars We hi
lii ve to In- U,. most durable, and
therefore economical, paint in use.
When the question of wh.' paint
should be un d upon the house pre
si nti I it*elf. it was promp.lv s< uli <1
by inspecting plow*, barrows, culti

Increase of Moisture by Cultiva

I'ass over a fii Id well fallowed

and you find everywlieie moist earth
an inch or two below the surface.
\\ hy lb-cause the atmosphere,
charged more or less with moisture,
has penetrated, and condensation has
taken from it the water it carried in.
i Set a pitcher of ire water nn tin
table nnd in a few moments the pitch
er will lie covered with drops of
wafer. The surface has not leaked*
there is the full amount of water in
it, but the colder temperature has
operated to condense on tho pitcher
part of the wafer held by air in the
room. Precisely tbo same thing oc
curs in a drained and loosened soil
We cultivate and hoe corn and pota
toes, not to change the relative posi
silion of earth with reference to the
plants, but to change its character— i
to make dry earth moist through
condensation of Vapor constantly
passing or entering the soil when in
condition to receive it.

The common garden practice of
picking cucumbers and beans before
they form seeds enables the plants to
form many more of the mere cases of
1 seeds, which are the parts we use.
! So by suppressing shoots and blos
soms of the tomato which cannot

ripen we have finer fruits from those
already set. And by thinning grajs-s,

superfluous extension, we secure

The great enemy of farm implc

I call themselves Christians, good eiti

itaU- to borrow a i- a j ■ r or a mowing
tine nne. and to leave it out of doors

of the weath' r, or to send it back
broken by the carclc-sness of '-orno
boy. I hav- made it a rule for twen
ty years past never to borrow an ag
ri< btural implement of any descrip
tion. It is an i,ld maxim, but a true
one, that the borrow-, r is worse than
the thief.

Neatness on the Farm.
i i A * < a.on •
Intelligent observe rs have general
ly note i the fact tliat in every rural
neighborhood the prosperous farnn rs
aie almost invariably those who keep
their buildings painted, fences in good
jr< pair, and their fields free from
•tones, w, < is and rubbish. Of course,
it may lx said that men wholia\e
plenty of money can afford to s|>enl
it for keeping up appearances. Hut
this i- evidently not the full explana
tion of thi coincidence of facts.
M n who niakt mom y. especially in
farming, are least inclined to pay it
out merely for show. It may Ire
safely put down as a general rulo
that the work performed by most
thrifty farmers is in the direction of
profit : hence, as neatne-a common
ly goes with thrift, it is quite ss like
ly to lx* one of its cause's as one of
its < irects. There arc exceptions to
this rule, as to all others. Some
farmers accumulate money still more
rapidly, not by increasing their in
come. but by a system of grinding
parsimony, by robbing themselves
and cheating their families to put
dollars in their purse. Tlu'se are not
examples to be imitated. The aim
of most reasonable men is not only
to mske money, but In the mean
i time to live in a reasonable and com
fortable manner. To accomplish these
objects it Is not difficult to prove
that neatness is essential.
