Notwithstanding failures aind disal

in view of the promises that "seed tim

summer and winter, and iight, suill no

Evluw CF T)iE 1'A4i',
Now Years' is the traditional time fol
making now resolutions. It is a con
veniont time to ''turn over a new leaf,'
as it is commonly expre:msed. lit oicie
to determine wirely and clearly his phnu
and purposcs for the year just entered,
each farmer :hould look back on the
last year and comparo the rc:;ilts of his
twelvo months' llbor with the pan1s
)ulrposes and exl)ectation)s with wh.ich h
began oJ)eration last ,JUIiuary. 11c: is an

brought victory and success, or led to

to be a ''dear school," but it is a very

fariers who cannot e;.y c rtaiily, h
catuse they do Ioit kno'w whether they
are better or worse oil whether on the
whole they have advanced or retrograt
ed. This ought not so to be, and would
not if they would acquire tlie habit of
kepiOg some sort of tccn)ets Of lain'
operations. But every fatimr knows
whether his general condition is pror
porous and satisfactory. Much has been
said and written of latt about the gen
oral condition of Soutlern agricult ure,
and intelligent men hold pi'reisely oppo
t)itc opinions as to us he ther, as a cla5',
wO are growing pooer or rich r. The
qluestion may ncv r be dcterniiledc, and
it determined little can Le (lone to
amehiorate the condition of agriculturi-e
by concerted or co operative actien SO
far a; tho actual managemeut of our
farms--our system ll of fi'ming----ia cou
ceried. Co-operation among farmers
has often been attenpted, but ha; never
achieved any decided success. It is imii
practicablo to control the operations of
individual farmers by any sort of re,olu
tionis or covenants or pledges. 'There
are too many of themu; they are too
widely separated; they cannot meet in
maIiL8S conventions; tili r circumst;anc's

burn oil a heavy coating of grass than
to turn it under. At this late stage the

amount to little in comp1)arison with the

uow advertised. An instrument that
depends upon a spirit-level for its a3 -
juetnent. is nuch inure accurate and ic
lialble, and will give leetter results in the
cmd. The rule is to loca,e the terrace
at such a dLi,tnTeo that each will bo three
feet in the perpendicular height above
the next below. A good SWivle, or re
versible hilllide plow, is very desirable,
thou;h not inldbipenusabl, in throwing
up the foundation of the terrace. P r
feetly level liies at the sthut and careful
streiint ing of the weah places by the
use of hoes or shovels, will assure the
inal .tability of the terrace banks.
nalcks are apt to occur frim very heavy
rains du ing the lirst year; but by
)r uiupt 'epain and occasiona changes
of location, the system may become per
fectly established and prove a great pro

most.
FENI,N
There are still many large sections ant7
even entire States where farmers are rc
<iuiried (and content to d> so) to keelp 1p
ong strings of fcue ns for the protection
of erops:i against stock. 'Thte time is

The bears paid not the slightest atto'

Farner sent a load of buckshot into one
of the bears as it stood on the ground
waiting for its turn to climb, and it
limped hurriedly oil t'ward the woodls,
howling feariully. The oth( r bear did
not slide down the trce that trip, but r -
mauined among t ie branches. Faarner
went closer, and Ihombarded the he:r zu;

have seized with tiuch avidity upon his
