THE ?,i?ETEN?H COMM?fi?fiE?iT. It Ia not always sunshine In Ulis bright world of ours ; Sharp thoras and woods grow thickest Andd the fairest flowers ; In fruits, howo'cr enticing, Lurk worm-spots at the core ; . - For each one's Dread and butter There is a sanded floor. In lustrons silk there's cotton, In flowing tresses rats. In ermines, soft and snowy, Thc skins of Thomas cats, In I Iel-.o'H form there's whalebone, On Venus' lips carmine. Old boots are thrown .a Sherry To make Madeira wine. Tl io best of golden butter Is oleomargarine ; The finest of old brandy Is next door to benxir.e ; The fragrant leaf of Cuba 1* cousin io four-kraut ; Toe often arc the milkman's cans Replenished at the spout.

Suppose a two. horre ioati of first-rate stable dung be placed in tdx heaps in a ii o id in Fcorun* ry, nnd this mn...ire remains in these heaps tn the middle of April, or thc fore nart of May, and aro then spread and the land ploughed, how much loss does the manure sustain?

There must bc n certain degree of loos-more than far mers can n flo rd to lose-and the question is, how is thia loss lo be prevented? On< way is to wait till the ground is to bi pb nghed, and then haul out the manure and plough it under an fast ns itisnprend Rut farmers are too busy to haul it ou then, and ate compelled often to draw i out in the winter.

In Tai the jobs are numerous upon a farm, at therefore a farmer need not find bimse out of work; if ho looks about him 1 will always find plenty to do. One gre reason why so many homesteads are d sorted is simply because tbe owners ha' let the odd jobs Increase too much.
