receives wages mostly at piece work, and
each pays his or her board in the domi-
cile which TieMake their home..
The firet of January last the fall
in the price of the goods they pro-
tineed compelled them to consider the
question of stopping their mill or reduc-
ing• expense*. They resolved upon the
latter.- To do this they conoluded to
cut down. their wages pro rata SO as to
ensure a profit equal to the interest on
the capital, and other necessary out-
lays, The report for the first six roonths
of operation under tb,at arrangement
shows -that they have earned 56,293 as
wages, paid 52,366 for board, 52,564 for
clothing and other incidentals, leaving
,leelence of 51,363 to be added to the
capital of the association, In addition
to this their home made a profit of 5350
at the price charged for board and wash -
mg, which was added to the :amount
Saved *can wages, making the total &W-
ing% 01,713 for six months. They have
-manufactured and sold goods during
that time to the value of $12,160, and
ehebneiness has paid interest on the
capital and other expenses. Had they
stopped business and remained idle, as
they probably would.have been compell-
ed to do had they not employed them-
selves, they -would have lost the 56,293
of wages earned, 5525 interest on the
workshops which woeld have been out
of use, and the $350 profit made on
-their boarding themselves --total, 57,-
169, which, for thirty persons, is nearly
5250 each. The members of. the asso-
ciation are said to be well pleased with
the result. Their success illustrates
-what a. number of intelligent, industri-
ous and prudent people may do- if they
tinde.rtake in good earnest. — Boston

have been always three applicants for
every vaeancy on' a farm, and interest

ly as if they were "livings' or appoint-
ments, have passed away, appa-
rently never to return, and an applicant
has to be treated like a capitalist'will-

Ile wishes to see the landlord, not the
agent. He is entirely dissatisfied. with
the estate rules. He wants his farm to
be in as perfect order as a London house
with a heavy preirdum on, it, and stip-
ulates for as much liberty- of action as
if he expectedto be a freeholder. Even
when the COD.CeSS10118 are made and it
is astonishing what concessions can
be made, when the alternative for the
landlord is, figuratively speaking, to cart
the nuick for Idnaself—he draw e back,
declares that he would like a few days
to consider, and funny demands', a di-
rect and very ofteu serious deer ase of
rent. In Scotland, it is asserted. lon ex-
cellent authority that this d crease

to 12 per cent., equi-valent to an income
tax of half-a-crown in the pound., and
landlords are yielding everywhere lest
worse still should befall them, and lest
the loss whioh arises on the delay in
letting should be followed by further
• loss from injury to the land. Two
years of neglect mean five years' loss of
farm profit. In the Midland eatm-
tiee—and. the richest bit of them,
too—the decline is estimated. at 10 per
coat., or two shill ince in the pound; and
in the South it is atleastas much, with
the further aggravation that the laborers
heve got the upper hand and must dic-

Teaffi e in Wild Pia.nts.
There aremany things besides wheat,
corn and potatoes that will bring money
e to the farmer. We were surprised th.e
other ally to notice at a. station a num-
Inir of barrels of common moss, called
"Princess Pine." This was to be for-
warded to New York; it was sold. at
three dollars per barrel, imel was used.
by florists in making bouquets and. de-
corations. An acre of land devoted to
wotild yield geeter returns with no
cultivation whatever than an acre of
-wheat upon whioh ten da..ys' labor had
been expended. From one station in
New Hampshire, we are informed., sev-
ere' thousand barrels are annually for-
w arded. No country furnishes more of
this tease, or evergreen, than Canada,
and in the country, where there are
large families, this could be gath.ered
and sent to town. The price averages
seven and eight cents per pound ; and
if made in wreaths for Christmas de-
corations it is sold. at five cents per
yard. All people in towns like to sur-
round themselves with something to re -
Mind them of the country. How eager-
ly would. moss and wild flowers be pur-
chased if brought to town in spring!
A few years since a German procured
from Tele Jesus e caleche load of Pitch-
er Plant, whioh realized in Germany
three dollars. Fern, roots, with which
our woods abound, meet with ready sale
le towns. Dried grasses and &mars
now farm an important trade. One -
feenily of young ladies in a country vil-
lage ha,ver become famous for dried
flowers and _grasses. Then agein all
,kbads of fungus growths are coming into
use, and will meet with ready sale. The
raorelle dried cae be sent to New York
or Paris, where it will bring 51 per
Th. We know of one inha.bitent who
sends about twenty barrels of moss to
ore florist, for whici he receives three
dollars per. barrel. There are fern. col-
lectors_ in New England, whose solo
business- is to collect end flry ferns.
Several farms aro engaued in this trade,
-width is very profitabre.—eanadian Il-
lustrated News.
Thcreased Production of Wool.
The Agricultural Gazette (Landon,
Buglem") gives tho following remarkable
figures relative to the production of wool
in Australia aucl elsewhere:
"We de not overlook the facts that
London is the wool market of the world,
and that very considerable quantities of
the colonial wool which is sold here is
meamfactured on the Continent; but
when we turu to the exporting countries,
there is abundant evidence of produc-
tive power which bids fair to develop
itself more rapidly than the manufact-
u ring industries of Europe. Taking Aus-
tralia for en extunple, we find an am-
azing increase in the number of sheep
year by year in theseveral colonies, and,
as these celonies are but in their in-
fancy, it wiIi net be unreasonable to es-
timate the triple increase of the past
yeera as being likely to be doubled
during the next,' decade. At least Aus-
tralia is not unlikely to -be able to double
her present exports in that time. In
the year 1810 swie 167 pounds ef wool
were returned as being the total imports
from Australia into Great Britain; • in
the year Ig70 the quantity was 263,850,-
507 peunda. This astonishiug increase
has been •chiefly since 140, vlien the
quantity was 59,11;3,000 pounds. During
the same period. there has been a ct
spending augmentation in the supplice
from the Cape, from St t h Aneriea, and.
from the Eva:, Indies. There must have
been an equal develtanuent of consump-
tive demand evidently ; but is this ratio
of .eupply awl demand. likely to he
maintained ? We think not.'
Fall in English Farm Rentals.
There is a change coming over Brit-
ish agriculture of which we are likely
to hoar more than enough, for it affects
the class whieli of all others can best
make itself heard. If we may believe

but the cry eines up loudest from the
midland shires—the luckiest of English
elassea, the landlords, are beginning at
last to suffer so severely their willing -
nest(, hear of a war, not to i-ity their
readiness to provoke one, is beemning a
fectca in the politics of the hour. They
cannot fiud tenants for their larger
farms. As leases expire, or farmers die,
or old tenants move off, they flud that
/Irma are thrown on their hands, that
agents look anxious or shame -faced, and
that lawyers maitter about the heatless
of the tunes. The pleasant days which

A Good. Word. for the Crow.
• Let me speak for the crow. Last yew.
as I was harrowing corn With a vibrat-
ing harrow having teeth (you know it is
a noisy thing), it uncovered. a great num-
ber of white grubs, which you could see
all about the ground. They are very
destruotive to vegetation of all kinds.
They ate or destroyed thousands of
hills of corn that year. You could see
the traok of the grubs as they travelled
to get something to eat, for they travel
when in search of food: You could see
the surface of the ground a little elevat-
ed., -and. checked when the surface is
hard aed dry. Well, you see, when I
was harrowing, as soon as the crows
heard. the barrow at work, they would
come and light on the ground that was
being harrowed, and the fresher the bet-
ter they liked it; when going one way
they would. light after I passed along ;
when I returned., and caane within six
or eight rods of them, they would rise
gently and circle around in the rear
again. I have counted as many as
seventeen grubs that one crow has pick-
ed up at one lighting. They ta,ke any
and everything, large and small—that
is, weans, grubs and beetles. Crows
can't pull corn when. plented.with
machine; we have no fear etthein frora
th.at source. Finally, wherever cieili-
zation is, there are rooks and crows.—

310W a Cow Eats , a POtato
One of the most affecting sights that
we are ever called on to witness among,
dumb animals is that of a cow ealing a.
large potato. She makes one or two
in,effectualbites at it, but it slips from
her and rolls away. At last she gets it
fairly into her mouth, and then begins
the struggle. She throws her head
backward, extending her nose lin a
straight line. Her eyes roll up aid her
ears droop. The saliva, drips from her
mouth from all sides. Apparently she
is enjoying the most exquaite pleasure,
and her jaws work ra,piclly with the reg-
ularity of a pendulum. The potato slips
round in her mouth like a doughnut in
a kettle of foe; but she attends strictly
to business; there is no let up on her
part. At last, by n, happy accident, she
succeeds in crushing the potato between
her jaws, when a smile steals over her
face, her eyes slightly close, and a tem
of relief trickles from the coreer of each
eye; her head resumes its natural po-
sition., and she runs out her tongue end
"wipes off her chine" so to speak; the
potato- is swallowed. with a gulp, and
takes its place on one -• ef the spore
sh.elves of her stomach, to await the
time when it shall be resurrected and
rechewed....

A Successful Farmer's Opinion.
Mr. Harris Lewis, a well-known
dairy -man of Herkimer County, N. Y.,
at a -dairymen's meeting at Ingersoll,
Canada, iemarked as follows: "I hold
that every man, woman, and child ie
fitted by nature to perform some act or
discharge some one duty in life better
than any other. But man in his ignor-
ance thwarts Nature's operations and
designs, and turns them to worse than
useless purposes. Many pereets seem
to look upon labor as degrading, and try
to find some higher place for their chil-
dren, rather than encourage engaging iu
useful labor. It is e sad. picture I know,
but it is the case with many in the
United States. I hope it is not so. on
this side of the line. Now, to succeed
in any business, calliug, or profession,
there must be more or less adaptatiou
for that particular business or calling,
and a love for it."

' To Make Butter Hard..
An English butter -maker, of large ex-
perience, who is now on a, visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese ancl butter dairies, gives us
the following iuformation concerning a
Method: iu practice an:Mug the best hut -
ter -makers of England for rendering
butter firm and solid during hot weath-
er: Carbonate of soda and alum aremade
-into powder. For 20 pounds of butter,
ono teaspoonful- of carbonate of soda
and one teaspoonful of altun are min-
e
eled together at the time of churning
and put into the cream. The effect. of
this powder is to make the butter come
firm and. solid, and to give it a clean,.
sweet flavor. It does not enter into
the butter, but its action is upon the
cream. and. it passes off with thle butter
milk. The ingredients of the powder
should not be Mingled together until re-
• quired to be used, or at the time the
cream is iu the churn ready for churn-
ing.—Farmer' Union.

Catching the Thief. -
The following story is told of an oia,
Indian Colonel, whose acuteness was;
well known: "While I was staying
with this queer old fellow, a message
came from, a neighbour of his, who lived.
a few miles off, that some things had.
'been stolen the night before, and that, _
• 'although it was as clear as daylight that
it must have beeu done with the con-
nivance of somebody in the house, yet1
there was not an atom of proof against:
the servants, ail of Whom stoutly pro-,
tested. their innocents; and he would:
be greatly obliged to Mr. T— to come!
over and look into the matter. T ----
and I rode over there to breakfast, and
s,fter breakfast all the servants were
mustered in a row, and there sat old
T—in a• great cane chair, looking
through them with an eye just like a
gimlet. Thba he made them a tip-top
=speech in their own lingo, tellhag them
that Brahma had appeared. to him in a
dream, and told him who the thief was;
and that, to make his guilt plain to,
them all, he was going to give a, straw
,eaoh of them, and the culprit, dee
what -he might, was sure to get the long-
est. The dark-eys lookedawfully fright-
ened, and drew their straws just as
• though they were casting lots to be• -
hanged. • When they had ail done,
T— took the straws book- one by one ;
• and as the fifth man deliveted his, T-
-caught him by the shoulder, and shout-
ed. 'You're the thief Down went the
fellow in the dust, and with the most
dismal shrieks for inerey, confessed he
was the thief, and was marched off
there and then. 'When he was gene I
asked T— how on earth he managed
it. 'Easily enough,' says be; the
stra-ws was all the same length origin-
ally, and the fellow to make sure of not
getting the longest, had bitten a piece o

We are often tempted in monients

we owe to stupid people. Apart from

of tranquil happiness. Making fun of ,
them is but a one-sided enjoy -Mont at -

therefore, they are failures. Yon ean
