The season is approaching when the farmer will enjoy comparative leisure. The crop; securely gathered in, he may devote more time, ccr iinly the UVl-niugs, to the cultivation of social and iutcl- “tual powcls. It is ofth urged as an bjectiozi against far no time for the improvement of onc's

the field unlit the farmer t'or mental or social culture. This is not true, as al- most every farmer can testify, for during the winter there is ample opportunity.

true that he may not enjoy the advanta; 01 daily intercourse with reliued and in- ii lligcui people. from v. born he may learn much that would beof great advantage to him. He does, on the contrary, enjoy great advantages 0\'(1‘ most other people to study nature in all her chungcs. The morning, noon and evening sun, the gen- ial shower, the wind, the storm, all are before him daily as an open book; the .oil, the rocks hills, trees, flowrrs, the the green gm 4 beneath his feet, the thousand songstcvs of the grovc.ra'

atur, the' brook, river, or distant ocean, all may be his daily study. A quiet life in the country contributes to longevity, and he who would pass his days in a

peaceful and happy manner should wish. l for nothing better than a pleasant home

in the country.

Another objection urged against farm— ing is that it docs not pay. In answer to this objection we say that in these latter days everybody is anxious to get rich at : single stroke; in a day, by the introduction 01' some new patent, or by a lucky turn in copper stocks. This is one of the crying evils of our times. The young men. not content to begin where their fathers did, or even where they left off, bceomc impatient because the prolits of the old farm do not allow them to make a line show. and so they pack off to the already over crowded city to make a living easier, as they say, and acquire riches at once, leaving the old folks at hours to shift for themselves, and get along as best they may. It is a serious question what can be done to Stay this evil, aml to make fzu'ming attractive. One of the things is to elevate the farmer in the social and intellectual scale, im- press upon him the import' proving his mind. and fitting himself to improve and enjoy the high privileges that have been so generously accorded him. One ofthe means that can be. made available during the winter months is the formation of farmer's clubs, whose meet- ings shall be open to all those interested in questions relating to their occupation.

There are many advantages to be de- rivcd from such meetings, in addition to the valuable information on the subject of farming that may be obtained. They bring together neighbors and friends of both sexes. Old and young, rich and poor, meet on the same level and enjoy the pleasant; occasions. The true farmer delights to speak of his good cro his fine horses, his sleek—looking Je ' Ayrshire cowa.1he pigs. poultry, fruit. or the delicious butter an.l rich cheese that his better half has made, all appro- priatctopics for such an occasion. Many a man is largely indebted for his success both in farming and in society to such small beginnings}. In this country, where every man has a right to his opin. ion on every subject, and the right to ex- press that opinion, it becomes of the highest importanccthat the well-educated farmer should cultivate the habit ofsl'cak- ing in public, and there is no better place to begin this practice than at such meet- ings as we have mentioned.

Then in addition to weekly meetings for discussions, let there be a choice library procured of such books as will instruct as well as please; occasionally get some one from a distance well read in all matters relating to the farm, to come and talk to a club at a meeting held in the Town Hall or some large school- house, where the whole neighborhood can be accommodated. Once in a while the President or some other oli‘iccr will invite the members to his house, where they can come nearer together, and cement more strongly the social ties. At such meeting the stranger who has recently bought. a farm in the town should be urged to come in to get. acquainted with

his neighbors, and hear what they have '

to offer concerning their farming opera- tiom.

. .. Farmers should never be jealous of

new comers or ambitious Cultivators. There is a wide field open before intelli- gent tillers of the soil, in which he may certainly win fame and honor. health and wealth. Lei thcrc be organized in every town or village a farmer's club, or some such society, which shall receive, and be worthy of the support of the best men of the place. Let us hear no more talk against book farming, as though the farmer best posted in books was not. the best prepared for the duties and laoors that. devolve upon him. Interest the ladies in this good work, invite them to attend the meetings, and make life. on the farm attractive, that the boys may be kept at home, where they belong. andin due time be prepared to take the places now occupied by the fathers.
