Oft I've beard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hour begun, ' ,
Deailing with a son on duty,
Urging him to become a man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter.
Though with love's words quiteai ready, ^
Points she out the other duty?
Strive, uiy dear, to be a lady. '

What's a lady? Is it something j
Made of hoops, and silks, and laces,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy mats and chairs.'
Is it one that wastes on novels ]
Every feeling that is human ?
If'tis this to be a lady,
'Tis uot to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter, I
Speak of something higher far
Than to be mere fashion's lady?
"Woman" is the brightest star. (

Urge your son to be a man,

Of that high and perfect beaut}-,
Where the mind, and soul and body, 1
Blend to work out life's great duty.
Be a woman! naught is higher
On the gilded crest of fame ;
On the catalogue of nature, 1
There's no brighter, holier name. i
lie a woman ! on to duty !
Raise the world from all that's low,
Place up high in social heaven,
Virtue's fair and radiant brow.
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our natures human,
Be not fashion's gilded lady?
Be a bra*c, true, whole-souled woman. (

What Shall the Farm Prod nee.
Every farmer at the beginning of
the New Year ought to put on his
'study cap." He ought to ask
himself what he is going to raise to
.mike tnoncy this year. Shall he
inako it on farm crops, pork, beef or
mutton ? Shall he put down his
farm in meadows and pastures and
rent them out another year, or keep
or buy stock, and feed what he
raises ? Shall he put out a large
acreage in corn and fatten hogs or
beef? Shall ho place his main reliance
on wheat, as we fear too
many farmers do ? If the war in
Europe collapses some of our wheat
growers will get their fingers burned
next year. There was never so
large an acreage planted before,
and thus far it is looking finely?
only it is a little too rank, it n
could be fed down by sheep, calves
or colts, when the ground is frozen,
it would help ir. Wneat is a good
thing at good prices, but the
supply must not be greater than the
demand, or the market collapses.
About as cay a method of making
money on the farm as any is to raise
hogs. Have your corn field adjoining
the hog pasture, and as soon as
the corn is glazed, run a movable
fence across the corn field, so as to
enclose a few acres, and turn in the
hogs. When all the corn is con*suuicd,
move the fence and give
them a few acres more. It saves a
great deal cf labor to fatten the
hogs this way, anil when land is
cheap and productive, it beats in
economy all other plans of fattening
pork, and leaves the fields no poorer
than before planting.
If, in addition, the fanner will
have an artichoke field of a few acres
lo let in his store hogs in winter, his
plan for cheap pork raising is complete.
The hogs arc made to do
their own work. The richer the
ground, for artichokes, the more
productive it will be. A piece of
bottom land is best. In such land
they will produce from one to two
thousand bushels per acre. Cut up
nnil nlant .and cultivate as potatoes.
They are not at all hurt by freezing
in the ground.
But all fanners should bear in
mind that the wants of the family
must not be forgotten?that plenty
of potatoes, cabbage, sweet corn,
green peas and all kinds of garden
vegetables must be produced. What
folly to 6ay there is no field for enterprise
on the farm ! There is no
limit to enterprise. Fanners of
enterprise, governed by good judgement,
grow rich, while those lacking
it plod on in the same old ruts
?do things in the same old way.
and can hardly make accounts

England's Bone Caves.
The Cresswcll bone caves arc enlarged
fissures in the magnesium
O O
limestone in the border of the Eug?
lish counties of Nottingham and
Derby. They were discovered in
1875 by Rev. J. M. Mello, who has
since explored them, and recently

coveries. There are three caverns,
known as the Pin Hole, the Itohm
Ilood Cave and the Church Hole,
and they contain numerous remains
of animals no longer existing in
O O
Western Europe, together, with
implements which arc evidently of
human construction. Among the
animals whose bones have been
found here, Mr. Mello mentions the
hyena, lion* panther, grizzly hear,
brown bear, fox, wolf, wild ox, bison,
reindeer, great Irish elk, the small
Pleistocene horse, the two-homed
woliy rhinoceros and the mammoth.
The presence of these various re*
mains in the caves is attributed to
the action of the hyenas, which
brought thither the bones of the animals
they killed or found dead. Mr.
Mello states that implements and
weapons of undoubted human workmanship
occur in situations which
show that man was a contemporary
of all these creatures.
Farmer's Boys,
For farmers, tho country wonts
the inost energetic, thoroughgoing
and wide awake hoys that can be
found. Ilcncc, if a boy is blessed
with that crowning concomitant
which moves the world?brains?let
him become a farmer. Brains con*
stitutc the great desideratum in
agricultural science at the present
day. Fifty years ago muscle was
the essential requisite. Fifty years
ago a farmer was expected to perform
every manual labor of the farm
by the exercise of muscular force,
while at the present day he needs
brains more than muscle to enable
him to manage labor-saving tools
and implements with skill and efficiency.
When the labors of the
farm were nearly all performed by
the luborious and fatiguing application
of human force, farming
was irksome and drudging. But
now, when teams and steam power
respond to the bidding of tho tiller
of tho soil, agriculture is the most
agreeable pursuit one can desire.
True, at some seasons cf tho year
farmers arc required to labor early
and for several days. Then, again,
perhaps for weaks they will have
easy times.?Dirujo Hum'.

American Stock Journal.
The fact that stock which is not
prospering is just a machinery for
the destruction of farm pro luce,
ought to startle mativ a man who
will read these words. Let him remember,
too, that all live stock arc
inevitable machines for destroying a
certain portion daily, which is as
directly daily wasted and burned up
in every animal that feeds as if it
had been put on fire. How much
greater the premium, then, on keeping
cattle whose fattening is done in
a life time of 700 days, than on;
keeping those whose fattening re";
quires 1,200 days or more. The

Windows in Stallies.
The matter of windows in stables is
one of vastly moro importance than
some farmers think. Animals, j o
.more than vegetables, can thrive in
the dark. Our long winters are sufii ;

j our farm stock, under the best cir
