SIR, —When one knows something
:that he knows will _be the . -means _Of
benefitting his neighbors without injei r-
ing anyone, and that -the material frena
whioh this gain may be derived is allowed.
to pin waste, there is a etrong dtspcisi-
tion to tell everybody about it, especial-
ly those whose duty is to, stop the _
. leak and. utilize the waste substance.
- Whitt is theenotiv6.which has _dictated
the following remake :.-Many farmers
inthis part .of the country, 'if we may
judge of theory by practice, seem not to
think that the incessant eitine; though
not the best thing in the world to make
good roads, are sources of .fertility to
the farm, and when properly used, can
be advantageously..applied to renovate
worn-out, and retain the volatile ,ele-
ments of new and fertile fields. From
the continual presence of tenacious
mud and flooded fields during the .past
few seasons, people seem to have ace
quired an instinctive •dislike .to wet
, weather and water in general, and are
devising every mans, by -Acts of Par-
liament and otherwise, to hurry- it .off
the premises, . somewhat .like what is
told of some original settlers, who,when
Manure had collected too much round
the bane, rather than spread it on the
- field, moved the building to a clean site.'
Water is injurious to soil only when al- •
lowed to remain stagnant, when the or -
gamic elements are decomposed and fly
off in noxious vapors and. air excluded
from the soil by its volurne. Rice, one
of our most nutritious grains,- grows in.
and derives its nourishment from water,
and_ we know that the first bite of fresh
grass in spring is always to be found
. where water has flowed during the win-
ter a.nd early spring mouths. Every-
one must havenoticed that water 'al-
lowed to stand .a coneiderableetime in a
• tub or -other vessel,. dining warm
weather,emits a disagreeable odor from
the ' decomposition of vegetableplant
food contained in it. Though it is im-
prudent to it . water be stagnant on
soil, it is -ruinous to let it rush into un-
derground. drains and drive its thateld:
wealth to the oceans, While thousands
of acres of worn-out land are gaping for.
the nourishrtieut which IA borne away
to- enrich the deep pea pastures of other
climes. By the analysis of the Most
. eminent chemists, 'spring, water has
been found to contain traces of all the
rnetaloid and organic acids, lime, mag-
nesia, iron and silica in solution, chlor-
ine and the alkalies—every element
that enters the compositiori • of food -
bearing plants for mp,u and beast, while
riverwater and that which:has washed.
• streets and. roadsides contains a greater
quantity of plant food,. a Vast amount
of whioh may be need by the farmer,
by a good system of dramege and irri-
gation- We CSIIELO. afford , to lose ',arty
manurial element when our average is
decreasing constantly,. when we , .are
- forced to compete -with agi.gantic neigh-
bor with ten _times our population and
double- our resources, who do nothing by
chance, but study all their interests and
conduct their agricultural operations by
the laws of science,- whieb. are carefully
studied and applied; where almost every
county has its agricultural paper,which
is considered as necessaryto . the suc
cessful farteer as the shovel ..or lioe,
theDominion of Camas eould
-not efford a single weekly devoted to
our leading industry, until about nine
weeks ago. There, as here, tillage is
• fleet, and the -chemist, the profetsor;
the State geologist, the L'occupant of
every chair of science who can exp).ain
a law, propound - a theory whioh will
aid to tha fertility of the soil, the ag-
gregate yield, or theenation's wealth,
willingly does so, either by .lecture or
through the agriceittiral .papers. The
result is that they have changed the
balance of trade from $116,000,000
against them, tb 261,000„000 in 'their
favot, di rin.g the pest three years.
Canada, is Waking -up to her duty at
last.: We have eyery reason to believe
that she will. -make rapid strides and
overtake her greatcousin. across the
lakes in A few years, when we have a
weekly paper, not three months old,
equal to •their best -weekly; an.d two
clever literary gentlemen out on a air -
edit lecturing on agriculture, in theory
and practice, during the present Winter.
On thewhole, the prospects.for the fu-
tureof our country look bright. . The
industriesof a country are soclosely in-
terwoven that no one eau suffer with-
out injury to all, thus the . unfortunate
butter industry of the pest summer,
though -a direct loss. to ,rnerchants who
purchased it, is now felt by everyone in
the community, by the toss of thou-
sands of dollars which should be in dir-
ealation that never OEM reach our
shore for that commodity. Respectful-
ly submitted by a . FARMER. .-

plenish their tinware or their purse. Or
take the item of waste -paper, and the
same inerease of revenue is noted—infin-
itesimal as it may be yet telling in the
leng-run-eby those Who allow the thick
and eoarse brown papers to be used for
' es and ether purposes, and save the
1 ewspapers and all white wrappings,

t but one article of tin -ware ;or .glass,
t e comfort and convenience of that ar-
t cle may counterbalance vastly more
t ouble than it will ever take to effeot
t e little saving whenonce it has been
carried into practice- and beeome sys-
tem.. There need be no fear that ser-
vants will think ill of the saving that
pbecuree them the utensils they desire,
an.d that otherwise, they might not have

"1care of the pennies, and the pounds
Ft-0AI take care of themselves," applies
nbwhere much: better than it does to
tiliese very matters of the rag -bag, as the
refnl housewife who saves tits for her
p tohwork out of sthat wonderful recep-
t cle is well aware. Some people there
who laugh at patchwork, and talk
the time wasted upon it, when in oth, time is -the .only thing they 1;ate
waste. It remains,for all their

en they would be doing nothing else

when they must Make new "comfort -

Every caxeful and economical hous -

Moisture in Bread.
• Odds and Ends.
There is a world of waste in the house-
holds of Our civilizetion, much of which
is in trifles that 'seem ahnost too trifling
to mention, but ;yet -which can not be
too-frequentiy brought to notice. It is
true that on these Western shoresplenty
has for long beeu close at hand, and the
habits of thought following our system
of government have given people euch
sense of independenee and of right to
enjoy,. that pro.digelity has been the rule
rather than parsimony, as economy
Miehtbe thought to do by those who
de not look into the .eources of things.
There is as -great a differeece between
economyend parsimony- is there is. be-
tween right. and wrong, for the fermer is
the right using of money • and material
without waste,and with a regard to the
*ants and needs .end capabilities of
others, a,nd: the latter is a selfish hosed -
frig to selfish ends, sometimewithout
regard to the needs of ourselves, and to-
tally without regard to the feet that our.;
property is Our ONVI1 only as a charge, as • i
an estate to administer, since we hold it
at the best but for life, and when we go
can not take it with us. . • a
But there are many people who; while
• - • •
economio a1 i nthe main, nd with the,
heavier portion of domestic Matters,
forget the part that the snaaller thiugs
can play—the smeller things which,
now that the great days of plenty of the
srst half of the century are past, few
• amities can afford. to overlook.
It is in the very smallest of things
that some of these righteous economies
• can be practiced. Take, for iustauce,
• the rag bag, a usual appendage of every
house; all those who ba.ve one for white
rags, and. another for colored rags, and
a, third for woolens, know the difference
It makes in their reeeipts from what the
receipts would be were they all mixed
together in one common receptacle when
al.° ragman comes along, and they re-

Bread naturally ceetains a large
quantity of water, or from thirty-sixi• to
forty per cent., but it is frequently'
made to contain greater amounts by the
use of rice flour or potato starch, either
9f which will absorb more water than
.. wheat flour.. Another way to increase
the quantity of water in bread is, after
leiving incorporated as much water in
the dotigh as possible, to put in an
oven, which causes the crust to form
speedily, and thus the escape of water
is prevented. This seine object is in a
measure attained by throwing 9a,cks
;over the loaves ;when removed from the
'oven, thus preventing
evaporation, although thepcarurtst thereby

the same effect as alum, in making the
bread white and firm, and in enabling

A Fairy Picture Spoiled.
It was just the close of day. ,Th
west shone in scarlet splendor, an
dimpled cloud -ships lay serenely • clust
eeed, in sun-kiired argosies over th
peaceful vale, Where all was swee
tranquillity. The robin was chantin
his vesper song, and the roses droppe
indolently in the balmy breeze, an
and.seemed wafted to a realm. of de
licions visions. At this heaven-fraugh
hour I wandered d.own wood-lan
avenue With a girl whose beauty wa
beyond description. Her large blac
eyes looked fondly into mine as we sa
on a fallen. tree. Her soft jewelle
fingers- lay in mine. Oh, heavenl
moment! I could feel herwarm breat
on my eheek, for. our lips almost .touch
ed. She askedme, in faltering' accents,
" Were you ever in love?"
"Never till now," I replied. A71
then she looked at _me most lovingly
and I drew her close to my bosom, an
was just kissing her for the second time
when the vision broke, and I paid th
dentist and left. •
It was my first experience witl
• nitrous oxide gas.
A Turkey Loses his Clothes
While Drunk.
gentleman farmer 'visited hi
matket toivn recently, and among othe
things purchased some rice and a pin
of whiskey. Fearing that the bottl
might get broken on the way home, h
placed it in the box containing the rice
When he reached home and took th
box from th.e pung he found that th
stopple had. got out of the b,attle, an
rice and Whiskey were thoroughl
mixed. He dumped the content
of the box behind the barn
and. in a short time a huge turke
came along, and, as he was not as par
ticular as the farmer, he gobbled up th
medicated rice. Shoetly after this th
farmer was greatly surprised to fin
the turkey lying out behind, the bar.
"dead as a door -nail," and vowing yen
gance on the m lin who sold him -whisky
rank enough to kill a turkey, he merle
the bird into the house. The farme
was soon after seen carrying the nalte
bird—as every feather was gone with
the exception of wings and tails
out -behind 'the stable, where he left i
on the snow. The next morning when
he entered the stable, it being hardl
light he detected what he thought Wa
the ghost of that intemperate turkey
and could almost feel his hair rise; but
he made tip his mind to investigate the
matter and boldly, advanced. Imagine
his surprise on getting nearer, to dis-
cover the bird ehivering on the , roost,
and looking at him with reproachful
eyes for hewing stolen his clothes while
helplessly, drunk. At last accounts the
isurkey *rs doing as well as. could be
expected, during that zero weather.
A Considerate Neighbour.
In the . village of le there
lived a certain woman who was very
fond of a wee drap. On one occasion,
when the drought was strong , and the
funds low, she applied to TarrimaS, her
'next doer neighbour, for the Ten' o' a
sa,xpence, but not being successful, she
sat -down and wondered what she would
try next. At length she jumped up
and exclaimed, "Dash it, I hae it noo,
fricht it oot o' him." S9, takipg up
the gtillie,she walked boldly intoTammets
and said, ":r. are sick tired- o' my life,
leeving among sic unfeeling, hard-
hearted folk. I hear ye aye yelping
eboot some ate ye ca' the People's
• Friend, but ne'er was a friend to me, so
guid bye wi' ye." "Hoots, havers,
Nannie," says Tainmas, " ye diuna
mead tae harm yersel'." " dam it.
Tammas, I'm a desperate woman, mind
ye." " Guidness, Nannie, this 'ill
never dae," said Tammas, jumping up
and taking the key of his drawer, " Gie
me the knife, Nannie, for ony sake."
After, a show of resistance Nannie at
length gave it up, and had the satis-
faction of seeing the drawer opened;
but to her horror, instead .of the.sax-
pence, Tammas brings forth a setstone
and proceeds to sharpen the gullie.
Having got it to his mind, he handed
it to her, and said, "Here Nannie, lass,
the first sneg, noo, will send your head
rolling alang the floor like a nauckle
turnip, mutch an' a'."
—Quite an excitement waS caused in.
the township.of Hibbert the other vveek
on the occasion of the nuptial of Mr.
Wm. Murray, of Downie, to Miss Eliza
Jane White, daughter of John White,
Esq.,. of Hibbert. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Fisher, Canada
Methodist Minister, in White's church,
between 11 and 12 o'clock A. M., after
which the company adjourned for din-
.ner, which. was prepared with Mrs.
White's usual good taste and liberality.
In the afternoon the happy couple, with
a few of their more intimate .friends,
started to Mitchell for a drive, putting
up at the Hicks House, where every at-
tention was shown by the gentlemanly
and obliging proprietor. After spending
a couple of hours in. a social manner,
the entire party then proceeded on the
return journey, which was accomplish-
ed without mishap. Supper was then
disposed of with that alacrity which
whetted appetites and good cheer do so
much to iuduce. Dancing was next in
order, and was kept up until the "wee
f31118.! hours" of morning. The only
thing which tended to mar the complete
harmony of the affair was the presence
