HINTS TO FARMERS.
There are some things that all farmeis ought to know. Sheep put into fresh stubble are npt to be killed by eating too much grain. A bare pasture enrichu not the soil nor fattens the animals, nor increases the wealth the oivner. One animal U't-11 led is of more value than two poorly kept The hi'lter animals can be fed, and the more comfortable they cbii be kept, tlie more profitable lltey are—and all farmers work for proflt. Ground once well ploughed is better than tliiice poorly. Bountiful crops are more profitable than poor ones. Make the soil rich, pulveriae it well and keep it clean, and it trill generally be productive. Weeds that grow unmolested around the !
fence?, stumps; and stones tcatter their seeds over ilie farm, and are very likely to increase. Cows well fed in winter give more milk in summer. Ail ox that ia in good condition in springi will perforin more labour und stand tile. heat of summer much better than one that is |'oor. When you see the fo:ice down, put it up; if it remains till to mirfow the cattle may get over. What ought to be done to dnv, do it, for to morrow it may rain. A ttrong horse will work nil day without food, but keep him at it, and he will not last long. A rich soil will produce goad crops without manure, liul kuep it at it, and it will tire. All th.it wish lo be rich must spend leas than they earn. Genessee Farmer.
