HINT TO FARMERS.
Too large a proportion of farmers through having to rough it in the early stages of settlement, get so used to a rough life that they are content to pass their days with the most primitive accomodation, instead of making a comfortable homestead. A convenient residence, well situated, with cheerful sorronndings, is what is required on every farm to make a family happy and contented, and to lighten the burden of toil. Instead of this, however, a large proportion of our farmers are content to dwell in buts of tbe rudest description, having few and inconvenient rooms and furnished very scantily. In many cases the accommodation is out of proportion to the number of persons, and as a consequence, the family must suffer in health and morals. As a rule, no attempt is made to obtain a home supply of vegetables and fruit by planting a garden and orchard, and though fruit is plentiful it is not varied sufficiently for the health of the amity.
