In Behalf of Farmers' Eoys.
Farmer's, did you ever think what a lone
some business farming cau be.aud often is, made
for your boys, just by your unsociability ? Do
you talk with your sons as you go to and from
•ad while at work? Or do you work in dreary,
uncheered silence, unless a neighbor chances
to come aioug or help you a day, and tueu
suddenly rtcover the faculty of ech aud
flow of spirits ? Do you kuow your boy's
subject of thought ? His pet plans aid would
he confide to your or advise wit I, y< u about
any new plan or idea ? Do you complain
that your son " takes no iuterest" in your work
and at the same time do you take no interest
in his plans for pieasuro and profit '{ Do you
help hinn make his bow and arrow, or his trucks
or bis sled ? Or does he have to coustruet
these out of your sight and enjoy them by
stealth, for fear of receiving a reprimaud from
you for this waste of time ? Do you coinmeud
bi3 good endeavors, or do ysn reprimaud him
ou every slight occasion, without any mani
festation of your appreciation of his diligence
at other times ?
There is nothing so terribly discouraging
as this perpetual fault finding without auy
commendation, and yet, who can not call to
mind many fathers who so rarely commend
their sons, that it is thought to be said iroui
cally wbeu by chauce a word of satisfaction
witb-their conduct is uttered. Farmers boy's
feel this more from the fact that they are al
most constantly with their fathers. They cau
not, like village boys, meet companions at
night after their work is done, and have a
good time, nor can they every few days see
6ome show, firemen's parade, or eutertaiuing
curiosity, that may serve them for subject of
thought when at work iu silence. The farm
is their world, and if the farmer does not try
hard to make himself the companion of his
boys, to not only seem, but to be interested
in whatever interests his 6ons, to make the.
hours of work a plesent sociable time in
stead of a silent, dreary drag and if he
does Dot by consulting with them, and ask
iug for and talking over with them their
plans and suggestions, and by proper
commeudatiou, encourage them to better ef
forts iu the future, why should ne be surprised
to learn some morning that his sou had be
come tired of farming, and " stepped out" to
try the broad untried world outside ?
flow rnauj fathers, whose boys leave home j
just as soou as tliey cau, might justly blame j
only their own reserve for their sous discontent. I
Boys arc very much like men, and how can
they be contented and happy while working j
day after day in silence, only when the paten- j
tal mouth is opcoed to repnma id some error !
of omission or commijsiou ? Mo one wonders j
that the slaves of the south feel no interest ;
in their work ; and many a father treats his j
boys, so far as companionship is couserned, j
just as if they were slaves. lie does not do ,
this because he does not love his boy, though :
it seems so to the child ; but lie has "put J
nway childish things" so far that he does not ;
appreciate the teeliog of youth, and then the
boy is his cwn, and he does not feel under any
social obligation to him. 1 verily believe that ;
loys who ' live out' will average to be more i
contented, than •armers'boys who live at home i
so far as companiouship with and eoinmeuUa
tion from the father is concerned.
Let any one observe in his own neighbor- '
hood, or still better, observe carefully his own
boys, and ho will at once be convinced there
is here a great evil, and one to be especially
observed in the farmiug community. People
who labor hard are apt to become cold and
reserved. Farm work is usually very sugges
tive of a most pleasant and instructive inter
change of words, and in the quiet monotony
of hoeiug one hill after another the lather for
gets that the son is not as old as himself, with
a lifetime of recollections for ins mind to feed
npon.
Think of this thing, fathers, and observe
you son's conduct,and if you fiud that he feels
any more confidence that he shall find sympa
thy and encouragement aud ussistauce from
you, your duty to hitn as a father has been
neglected.
SENDING POULTRY TO MARKET. Messrs.
Briggs A Helfricb, of New-York, sends us the
following directions for dressing, packing, ana
forwarding poultry to market :
First 6ee that all poultry is well fattened,
as the difference in price in our market between
fat and poor poultr? is very great, ilemem
ber that you not only get pay for every pound
your poultry gains in fattening, but by im
proving the quality you gain from one-fourth
to one-half in price on the whole.
In fattening poultry, it is always the best
economy to feed all they will eat. Poultry
fed on corn is yellower and better than on
buckwheat.
Keep from food before killing a sufficient
length of time so that the crop will be nearly
or quiet empty, as full crops are quite det
trimental.
The best mode of killing is by opening the
beck veins, though the head may be cut off.
but, if so, the skiu should be drawn over jthe
neck bone and tied after dressing.
All poultry should be scalded ju3t enough
to make it pick easy. The water should be
nearly boiling hot ; dip the poultry in and
talse it out two or three times, so as to scald
evenly, then # pick off all the quills, feathers
and pin feathers as quick as possible without
breaking the skin. Don't rub them off, as
that rubs off the thin outside skin, which in
jures the sale. Next, immediately before it
cools, dip it into clean hot water ; hold it in
but a few secouds, then suddenly dip it into
cold water for a few seconds more, then haag
or lay it opto cool and dry.
The intestiues or crop should not be drawn.
Be sore it is all entirely cool through and
the surface dry before being packed.
Boxes are best to pack in, though barrels
will rlo. Obtain bright rye straw, if possible,
wheat or oat straw, if very bright aud clean,
will do, but is not as good Shake out all
the dust,place a layer in the box, then a layer
of poultry, pack op, with the leg-i flat ou the
straw ; put a little of the straw next the side
of the box, then in the same manner alternate
layers of straw and poultry. Btow very snug,
so it cannot move ; put straw ou the top, press
on the lid, and nail strong. If the weather is
warm, use pleuty of dry straw. Genncsee

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea ot printing ink,
And opposing, end them."

I tising his Bindery to indulge iu an uiicaMed for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping '• to delude
