farmer's Dfjnitnuut. Thought - Profitable in Farming JV-riiapu tliere is MU respect in which farmer differ more from each other than mtlieamoui t ofy/U the? briny to their work. Onejiuiii !;iijoi ■> huril from January to iKetut >< r, y t wunders to see that he accomplishes less than h's ueiyhboi v li<> works iewer hours a-tluy than he. He toil* on 1 tboriously in the s tine old routine, without forethought, without -kill: his neighbor seeks to do evervtitiiipf inn i.qreiit. Iv. ,y• 11 1 a wise forecast of the best means o! (loiiiy it. Suppose the first farmer wished to remove a large boulder iroiu his wheat field He bad pccii liis father get rid of such rocks : bv c:iTlTny together all his hum's and i neighbor or two, ami roliiug it by mere muscular fore- | into a corner by the fence. Now, he never bothers himself to inquire whether there is any better met hoi than his father's ; so lie spends j u whole d.iv in yetting a single boulder into a corner, and thinks, after inuch straining and i weariness, and many bruises, that he ha-: rcaiiy | done at great deed. Hut the second farm' i thiuka twice before touching his botiMer. lie examines its shape, size, texture Can it be sunk out of sight, and below the reach of plow point .' Or cuu it be more easily rolled out of the way by good, stout levers ; or w ill olast iug do the work as quickly, and save him the j pieces for future use? Having once settled j tlie point, he goes to work with a will, and the boulder is soon disposed of. I'liis as an ex ample ; but the same principle applies to eve: y operation. The thinking farmer lakes advant age of opportunities and means of doing things, which escape the notice of careless men. 111 > thought shows itself in his house, barns, stables, pig-sty, cow-yard, ditches, fences, h -Ids, every where—Spring, Summer, Autumn and M in tcr. Hearken, now, to the " improvement ' of our little sermon ! Another season of out-door labor bus closed ; the year, with its toils, sue COFSOSS atid failures, cannot now be rceullud ; it can be reviewed. And let us view it Neighbor Jones, how do you account for your ill-luck in that corn-field down in ihe corner lot ? Is the ground cold, wet, and lull of grubs and wire wornjs ? if so, or possibly so, think about it before you repeal the same profitless experiment. Read and think about the effects of draining, its cost and the probable gain to vour crops. Then, if yon determine on drain ing (and wc really hope you will,) make your self master of all its rh'tnils, such a- draining with plunk, stones, ti.es, and the best ditch, its depth, direction, its cutlet, Ac., And so, wiieu the season op< ns, you will be prepar ed logo to work intelligently and successfully. And. farmer Smith, what gave you such a rousing crop of potatoes, while ueighbor John sou's was so small ? Perhaps you scattered a good top-dressing of though* over the land be fore you plowed andpluntcd. Farmers general ly need to do more head work. This should be applied to the management of the dairy and orchard, sheep and young cattle, rotation of crops, and, in sho. L, to all theoperatious of the farm. "During the leisure months of Winter, now begun, form your plans for the coming year.— Make uood use of the past. Review the year now closing, and see what real improvements you have made and where other things will bear a little mending. This will make your ex perienee of great advantage. Avoid, if pos sible, former mistakes, and repeat the methods which have proved successful. I>raw np on paper a plan of your farm After suitable deliberation, assign to each field its respective crop, end determine on the way the land shall be prepared for the crop. May not the old orchard lie improved by re graft ing some of the trees with new and superior kinds of apples ? Perhaps it is time to com mence the planting of a new orchard And what a grand undertaking is that ? How it looks into the future, and what a spirit of be nevolence it awakens for those who shall come after us ! To determine what sorts are. on the whole, the best for a succession of Summer, Autumn, and Winter apples is no .-.mail mat ter, and requires no little study. These Win ter months are just the time for that study. Aud so, in reference to all the details of farming. Give them a careful overhauling.— Don't lie mere routine farmers, but have a reason for everything, and do everything in the best pos ible way. Put as much thought into your farming as you have to spare, and surely it will pay. CnxrtKD Hands—These are very common '"about these days " Cold weather chills the surface of the .skin and prevents a free circula tion of the blood, and consequent warmth,and thus induces or aggravates the difficulty. One of the primary causes of chapping or c racking of the skin is the action of soap. The alkali in this eats away the cuticle or outer skin, ami thus destroys the natural covering. In cold weather especially, the hands should always be tliori uglily rinsed in clean water after willing them with soap. It will be found highly bene ficial to wash the skin in a weak solution of mi gar aud water, after using soap, and then rinse ia clean water. The acetic acid of the vinegar neutralizes the alkali of the soap, and prevents the further action upon the skin, which will take place if the slightest amount of soapy water be left on the bands when they are dried with a towel. On washing days it will be of special advantage to have a vessel of water with a little vinegar added, to dip the the hands into whenever they are takeu from the washing water. Whenever we find it necessary to wash with soap, we rinse the hands in dilute vinegar, or a very weak solu tion of any acid, such as a few drops of oil of vitriol (seiphrie acid), muriatic (hydro-cliolric. a id, or nitric acid (aqua fortic), in a quart of water. Any of these acids will neutralize the alkali of the soap. Since adopting this prac lice no have never b en troubled i t the lea-t w ;th chap|K-d, or even rough hands, though we do not put oil gloves or mittens half a dozen lime* a-year. We would add further, that in washing the hand* it is usually better to use a stiff brush instead of soap, unless they chance to be cov ered with oil or tar A brush is more con venient, more effectual, neater, cheaper, and better every wujr than soap.
