We long for the more elegant pursuits, or the ways and fash- ions of the towns. But the farmer has the most sanc and natural occupation, and ought to fiad life sweeter, if not less highly seasoned than any other. He alone, strictly speaking, has a home. How can aman take root and thrive without his land? He writes his history upon his field. How many ties, how many resources he has; his friendship with his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees, the satisfaction in his growieg crcps, in his improved fields, his intimacy with nature with bird and beast, aud with the quickening 1 elemental forees; his co- operation with the -clouds, the sun, the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost. Nothiog will take the various social distempers which the city and artificial life breed, out of a man like farming, like direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poison. tt humbles him, teaches him paticace aud revorence, aud restores the proper tone to his system Cling to the farm, make much of it, put yourself iuto it, bestow your heart and brain upon it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate your virtue after your doy’s work is done !—Scribuer. > -—-_- - Stock-Feeding in Great Hritain and America. —_—— There is a wide difference in the sys- tem of feeding stock in winter in the Old Country and in the New. In Great Britain, for instance, every care is used to get the greatest possible benefit from every mouthful of food given stock. Great crops of turnips arefraised, and instaed of feed. ing them whole, or even cul up, they are reduced to a mass of palp by mas chinery, and this pulp is mixed with cut straw or hay, and allowed to lie in a mass for two or three days, as it is thought the food assimilates better and does more good inthis condition. Hay and straw are almost universally cut up, and meal of some kiad mixed with it, before being fed to stock. Corn is obtained from America; but always ground into meal before being fed. Oil-cake meal goes from this country by hundreds of tons annually to Europe, to be fed out to stock. It is thought too expensive by our people to feed; but the stock-raisers ot Great Britain pur chase our supply, pay large freights on it, and then think it the cheapest and best feed they can obtain. They wet it and mix it with cut hay and straw and meal, and pulped turnips, and feed from this variety and mixture to their stock, and find it pays. They count the manure from such feeding of very great value, and are careful to save every particle of it, and apply it to their lands. In this country we will gradually work into a more economical system of feeding. As land becomes more valu— able, grain commands, a higher price and meat a greater value, our stocik- feeders will see the importance of economizing and getting every cent they can from the food consumed by their stock. Our stoekmen ought to begin to post themselves on the most economical system of feeding. They ought to try experiments, to ascertain whether it will pay to cut feed, to grind grain, to cook food, to pulp turnips, or not. This is an age of progress, and if we can make any advances on the present system of feeding, we ought to do it,—Rural World. : Humorous.
