LITTLE, MDEN'f DENTIST. Forecast In Farming. Keen, practical forecast is an import ant factor in every walk or business iiie, but for th? farmer it is aimost mdispeusi ble to any reasonable amount of success. Mechanical skill, once it has been fairly mastered, needs next to no thought to keep it up to the point of working effi ciency. But farming, as it oiuht to be, not only r quires careful thought, but a very treat amount of forethought to make it either pleasant or profitable. The thing that helps most to elevate farm- work above the level of the merest drudg ery is the amount of hearty and exhilar ating mental ehort tiiat can lie miusea into it ; that, combined with the sense of duty and the feeling of hope, will, under Providence, make life on the farm more really attractive than pursuits apparently much more pleasant and alluring. Of all forms of thought, forethought is the most inspiring, just s aft -rthought is generally least pleasant. Of the various nationalities engaged in farming on this continent, I rind the German and Scotch, in proportion to their numbers, most successful, and to that success their fac ulty of plodding, combined with calcu lating habits, have, I think, contributed the most. As a German friend of mine said lately, "A man must learn some dings effery day, if he wants to make money by farming. " The skilled farmer propounds in the quiet of ids spare hours the problems of the coming year with which he may need to grapple, and then sits himself to think out, in perhaps two or three different lines, the tactics by which those problems are solved, and those difficulties met Wise behind the hand, " ready for business the day after the fair, the man with a dull, soapy sort of brain goes ahead in a mechanical sort of way, seeing nothing in particular un til he strikes a snag or runs his head against a wall, and tlsen feels around in a dazed sort of way to find out what has struck him. Proper forecast in farming goes a long way beyond the mere study of possible modes of action. Every possible form of obstruction is looked at, and plans made for getting round the corner, or, if that is impossible, for mak ing the unpleasant effects of the collision as slight as possible. Iso great amount of seamanship is necessary in fine weather and good daylight, but when, in the misty darkness all around, you can not tell whether the mass in your way is an island or an iceberg, the trained captain is ready for the emergency, while the fair weather sailor acts like an imbecile. Ready, aye ready," is the motto of the Napiers, a family famous m science, in war. in literature, and should be the watchword of every man who would farm successfully. Be sure you are right, and then go ahead, " is another equally-valuable maxim, and accredited to Davy Crockett, but it is only by a wide and far-reaching forethought that this certainty can be attained. The re sults may le much more valuable and enduring than the thinker himself has ever anticipated. "W hen, more than o'J Tears airo. Amos Cruikshanks began with his one Durham heifer to try and build his ideal Shorthorn, he only meant to do the best he could with the materials w ithin his reach. But he lived to see the triumph of his plans, and the profit and honor which followed. All the world now believes in the Scotch Shorthorns, of which he lias been, as far as nmn can be, the successful creator. "Learn to labor and to wait, " is good sense and good poetry, but the biggest half of the profit of farming labor and much ot its real pleasure must come out of the vig orous exercise of the worker's brain, of which skilled forecast is preity much the masterpiece. It is one thing to wait ou the chance that may turn up, quite an other and a much nobler thing to wait in sure hope for the fruit of the trees that years and years ago you selected and planted in the confidence that, if not your hand, some other one would ue sure to pluck goodly fruit. Richard Waugh in American Agriculturist. Barley is our only grain of which the home product is not equal to the demand. The deficiency is chiefly supplied by im portations from Canada. Kerosene applications to the skin of animals, as remedies for lice and skin ailments, is too severe. One gilt of kero sene added to a quart of cotton seed oil is better. The most effectual way for determin ing the requirements of a soil for the production of any particular crop is to test the question with different kinds and combinations of manures. The money expended on roads, if prop erly applied, will save wear and depre ciation of wagons. Many good horses are annually killed or foundered by bad roads. A road cannot be made. too good for travel. The cheapest and best preparations for dipping the bottoms of wooden fence posts in to preserve them, is oil of tar or creosote oil heated to 212 degrees, dip ping the post long enough for thorough surface saturation. Coal tar or petro leum is the cheapest. Every farmer should raise pigs and cure his bacon. There is no meat equal to that produced at home. You will at least "know what you are eating, which is a valuable point in favor of home- raised meat, as only healthy, thrifty stock will be used for the home supply. It is not thought to make much dif ference whether a hog's skin is clean or not, judging from general custom in feeding. But this is contrary to fact, for it has been amply demonstrated that an animal with a clean skin does not con sume as much as one not kept clean, and gives a better return for the food eaten. This thing of feeding for an extra quality of pork is no new thing. The swineherds of the ancient Greece jud Roman provinces used all diligence to tempt the appetites of the nobility with tender and juicy pork. The rich, then as now, had more of a longmg for the choice meats thar. they had for the ac quaintance of the producer. As a rule, it is true economy to produce and manufacture everything as near as possible to the place of its consumption. The man who crows on the farm all he consumes on it, saves double transpor tation the hauling home what he buys, and the hauling to market what he sells to ray for it. These two items of cost make all the difference between success ful and unsuccessful farming. A writer in the New York Tribune gives a valuable hint, which is worthy trial. He destroys noxious weeds by oourins crude carbolic acid into the "heart of the plant," which probably meanr? the "crown" of the plant. Dan delions treated in this manner were THE FARMERS CONDITION. To the Editor. None but farmers can know their condition, really. Many of the?u even ate in the dark as to "whither they are drifting;'" because they have not stopped to consider. Farmers, aV a class, lock ou the bright Hide. TLey have failed jo often, they have learned lo "grin id bear it," and sav nothinsr about it, until "silence ceases to be a virtue." Their si lence in this respect is construed by others to mean prosperity. If famx eis low a-days have even a nice natch of wheat, corn, or an atber crop, they foiget all the rest, and leave the impression on all that th y have "the best crop they 'ever had." i.nd having bragged on their crop ail the season, they are ashamed to sav how iiitie they have gathered at harvest. Hence, door neighbors do not know each other's condition; much It-ss, the doctor, merchant, etc. Why, even t ur pastors, our spirit ual advise rs, don't know. The best is always set before them; and by that they think we have "plenty and to spare;" and construe our small contributions to the church to be "covetoutness, "stinginess or "want of christian faith." Now brethren this XT' 1 1 J 1. . is wrong. eare to Diaine ior tni3 ignorance, which affects all vlike. Fanning is the foundation to all prosperity and happiness; and if it gives away, the whole structure must fall "and great will be the fall of it." It's a duty we owe to our selves, our children and. the country at large, to let our real condition be known. Then when we find the cause or causes, it will be an easv matter to apply the remedy or reme dies; and instead of others opposing us, as we think, they will encourage, if net assist us-. For I am satisfied if others, as well as the farmers knew exactly the condition of the agricultural interests, there would be such a comruoaon as was never heard of before; and it would only be a short while till a sure remedy would be adjusted, regardlesof what cultural salvation.

Such a room is sel dom safe, and in certain states of the weather the air is sure to be shut off. Few rooms are large enough not to re quire continuous ventilation. The two sleepers are constantly vitiating the air. No air is pure which contains an excess of carbonic acid, and at every breatn a certain amount of oxygen is coverted into this poisonous gas. Think of 12,000 such inspirations during the night ? Morever, each breath -conveys with the carbonic acid and throws into the air effete matter thrown off by the lungs. which is also poisonous. Nor is even this all. Millions of sweat tubes are all the time pouring their pol luted waste into the room. " entilation, it is evident, is a hygienic necessity. Sunshine is essential to a good sleeping room, buns time is a powerrm oxsiniect ant, and every sleeping room needs to be disinfected daily. Let the head of the family appropriate the sunniest room ; the guest chamber, with its occasional occupant, is of secondary importance. The sleeping room should be in an . - , . , , upper story, as me nignt air coois, many of the disease-producing particles 6ink to the lower strata. It is said that one may live safely in a malarial region by avoiding the night air and sleeping above the ground floor.

The sys tem of pasturage is apparently the most profitable of all methods for raising cat tle, and no doubt it will be dimcult to convince farmers that other systems are cheaper and better, but when the farmers find that they are compelled to limit their operations to smaller areas they will be surprised to learn that they have before been using the most extravagant system that is possible to be applied to dairying that of pasturing over large tracts.

Witness the health of flocks grazing on the salt grasses of the South Atlantic and uuli coasts, tne lowland villa of Utah, and the "salt brush" of Arizona.

If you say so it is because you caunot figure right. Thrse strawberries you grow in your garden are worth twice as much to you and your family as any you ca buy. You get value in th-im that tou cannot possibly find in those that you buy at your green grocer's or from the passirjg huck ster's wagon, or even from the wagon of the market grower. Those that you produce in your own garden bring to you an tne pleasure oi transplanting, of hoeing and weed -ing, of watching the gradual growth and multiplication of plants, the formation of fruit buds, the opening of flowers, the appearence of the green fruit, :t gradual development, its blushing under the ardent rays of the sun, and finally its perfect maturing, when it yields itself up to you the perfection of luscious fruits During all this period of evolution you have probably been frequently joined in your pleas nt labors by vour wife or your little son or daugb ter, and jou have found that the united labors and pleasant conversas tions have bound your hearts togeth er with stronger bonds. No, no ! You cannot get any such values in purchased strawberries as you can in those you grow in your own gar den. Hence, if you have no straw berry bed, plant one at once. Third. You may have a straw berry patch in your garden that has borne you some good berries the past season, but you may have tast ed or heard of or read of some newer varieties of better quality than any in your bed, and you may be impa tient to grow some of them for your- self another season.
