very.material interest to every farmer in this country but which, I am sorry to say, is deplorably neglected by them.The public schools are just getting under way, and we find there the girls and the small boys; but the larger boys-where are they?They may be found in the fields assisting in the harvesting of the crops, and doing the hundred and one kinds of work at which a boy can make himself so useful on a farm.Afier they reach their teens the boys are seldom allowed to go to school until the last forkful of grain is housed and the last furrow turned, and even then, in many cases, his attendance there is so irregular that if he gets in three or four months work in the school-room out of the twelve he is fortunate, and is thought to be receiving a very liberal allowance of book-learning and all that is necessary if he is to follow the plow, such is the low esteem in which farmers hold their own vocation, During the first twelve years a child thinks much more of play than anything else, but for all that he is getting a fair start at school.After that age, during the period of the teens, the mind is most plastic and most susceptible to teaching and the most; valuable of school-room acquisitions are made: and it is during this very period that country lads are forced to forego, for the sake of a few pallry dollars, all those natural gifts of mind which every child possesses to a greater or less degree, the cultivation of which they have a right to demand, and to lose what, if gained, could but fit them for better farmers and for the better discharge of the duties of citizens.The time has come when skilled labor of every kind is demanded and employers will have no other.Special training for the work upon which one intends to enter must be had to be successful.The blacksmith, the carpenter, the tradesman, the lawyer, the doctor, the preacher, the teacher, all have to spend time and money to acquire proficiency in their calling, yet who ever thinks it necessary for a farmer to learn farming?Any one can farm.Muscle only is required.Who ever thinks district school education a necessary adjunct to farming?Yet the di-trict school is the foundation of education for all and the beginning and ending for the majority.Therefore 1 say, let every child have the advantage of it.Do not keep the boys at home as soon as they are able to do a man's work or a part of it, even if you can save a man\u2019s wages by so doing, for that is a small sum compared with the handicap with which you send them forth to fight life\u2019s battles.The most progressive men have been, are, and will be thore who think most, and those who think most are the best educated.It is not uncommon to hear men boast that they never went to school after they were twelve years old or that they never had but two years schooling, as much as to say \u2018and see how much I have accomplished,\u201d and it may be that they have done well considering such a drawback.Such ag they lose sight of the fact that if ; What they did twenty-five years or more ago were attempted under present conditions the odds would be against them in spite of their \u201ctwo vears schooling.\u201d\u2019 Is it any wonder that the farmers are not business men?Why should they be?They do not pay that close attention to their business and the most improved business methods as tradesmen do.There is not one in fifty who can tell the cost of producing an acre of grain or roots, or of rearing an animal to maturity.However, it cannot be expected that men whose capacity for arithmetical calculations has been curtailed by early neglect and little exercise will ever keep any very comprehensive accounts.But why should they not be business-like, and why should they not keep accounts as well as any?Surely their profession requires as much and as intelligent application as any other, and therefore require: as good an educational training as any other.Then let the hoys go to the elementary school at least, until they have gotten all it can furnish, and forbid them not for of such is the coming generation.It is no wonder the young men leave the farm when they are shown all the drudgeries of farm life and none of the beauties of it.\u2018As the twig is bent the tree inclineth.\u201d I believe if the mothers could bave their way much of this abuse\u2014for abuse it is\u2014would soon become a thing of the past; but the fathers hold the balance of authority, the weight is thrown on the wrong side and a human soul becomes a thing of barter in the name of farm economy.I say take up a missionary collection and send these men to the North Pole; their wives would run the farm more economically.A good education cannot fail to be a cause of thankfulness and a source of pleasure in whatever walk of life one may be placed.Deny it to none.AGRICOLA.MASSAWIPPI, An accident of a serious nature oe- curred a few days ago to the little boy Augustus, son of Henry Colt.Ie fell | from a beam fifteen feet high in the | barn.No bones were broken but there was an inward injury to the stomach.At present he seems out of danger but it will take time for him to regain his natural state.Mr.James Carter has gone to Ab- bottsford.Mrs.Eva Carbee came from Newport, Vt.Saturday to remain a short time.Miss Blanche St.Dizier left Monday for college at Grand Ligne, Que., a French school.The beauty of these autumnal days rean never be surpassed, Who can i look abroad without exclaiming, glorious.FITCH BAY.Fine weather, freezing nights.Mr.and Mrs.W.J.Burgess left for their home in Boston Monday.Mr.Horace Lovering, a life-long resident of the Lovering Pond district, died at his residence on Sunday morning, aged 69 years.lle had beon conflned to the house about (wo

longer reliable in that state, but 1896 brought a very heavy crop.The root: barer has now appeared, but it is hope 1 that its numbers will steadily decline, as in New York.The Michigan station made an interesting and instructive experiment on a field of clover seeded with rye.A third of the fleld was cut over and crop re- nioved just ax the rye was heading out: another third wlen the rye was in full bloom, and the lust third after the rve bad ripened The result was remarkable, Theugh favorable veather ensued, thé last third produced ts much weeds as clover, the , second third had & thin stand of lov.sprinkled with weedy patches, while the first third sent up a thick stand and vigorous gro eth of clover.Butter Trade In Europe.There are a number of forms of boxes.Therc is the Australian box, being a cube, 1 foot in diameter, holding on the average 56 pounds; the New Zva-.land being rectangular, and the Irish a truncated pyramid, so that the butrer can be dumped out of the box from the larger end.In the shops butter is dump- ell out of the package in a large hap and cut off in chunks when sold.Then there 1s the French butter in base kets, the basket being about a peck in size with a cover, and the butter in the farm of a large roll laid init There are also French rolls in boxes These rolls are cylindrical in shape, weighing two pounds each, and are packed à dozen in a box.This French butter, as well as some Danish, is unsalted and brings the very highest prices The Froneh is what is termod milled butter.| It is bought up from the peasants, sors.| ed and worked up together.Being un.!

be increased to $616.If these figures bo correct, what is the use or necessity of estimating roadbuilding at £1,000 and $2,000 a mile?By the use of the almost | perfect road machinery, which can be | had at a cost of $600 for a crusher and $300 for a grader, I aia sure a highway | can Le boiltat the cost above mentioned, | if the material, sand, gravel and cobblestone is as handy ag it is in Sugar Grove, THs, The voters of Sugar Grove have had sepse enough to eleet from year to year capable highway commissioners.Intelligent, skillful commissioners and improved machinery will reduce tho cost of roadmaking 75 per cent, | | EASY TO GET GOOD ROADS.!

gembled proceeded to show how the roads could be greatly improved with the means already available, The muin' point brought out was the necessity of thorough surface draining by effective\u2019 ditching, The roadix d must be rounded | s0 that the water vill run off readily, but the best material for surfacing depends upon the locality and the character of the soil.J£ the road surface can | be kept dry, any locality muy buve good, ronds at comparatively suall cost all tho year round.Incidentally the subject of wide ver.| sud narrow tires was taken up, and!

with 17 yeurs' experience gives tie following advice to beginners in The Canadian Bev Jourual gbout wintering bees.He says: First seo that the colony has a queen.If there are no queen cells butle wud there is brood in all stages dowu to the egy, you are fairly safe in assuming that the queen is there, but it 1s better still to sve her.It may be that there is not Lrood in all stages, and

from the bottom bar.These are for winter passages and allow access through the cluster of pees without passing out of it.as the hees would have todo when pussing around the comb, either top, bottom or sides, .Buckwheat honey is good stores for bees\u2014s0 is any other honey as far as i know.Honey dew is not honey at all.The bees sometimes gather it The flavor is generally rank, and it is dark in color.To [ave such stored in a hive is generally an exception.and the bes gintier need not worry lest such a condition should exist without his knowledge.Having a colony in this condition, the beginner or any one else has gono a long way toward successful wintering.The Potato Rot.The wet weather in many sections, as is too well known, has induced potato rot to tho extent of seriously shorten.| ing tho crop.The fungus which causes this disease first attacks the potato leaves, the tubers being the last to be affected.Abundant moisture followed by close or \u2018muggy\u2019 weather is very conducive to rot.Well informed farm- trs, as soon as most of the vines are dead, remove these and burn them before digeing the potatoes, It way not be generally known that the same conditions which favor rot be ; fore digging induce it afterward, and oftrn rhe loss isgreater after harvest than before.The tubers, therefore, should bo dricd ont thoroughly and either marketed ov stored in adry, eool, airy place.Grent cure must be excreised to exclude All decuving potatoes; these should bo talon out as fast as they appear.A sprinkling of air slaked limo is also a pri ventive mienèrre,
