Above all, let. every farmer treat his wife a.ud children with kindness Give them every ad vantage for culture. They will grow jrp about you like flowers; they will till your life with .joy and perfume; they will fill your home with sunshine and your lives with happiness. See to it that they have all the comforts and all the conveniences of life that you can possibly give them. Give them the advantage of eve ry improvement as soon as you can. Try and make life a perpet ual delight. Reeolect that cook is one of the line arts. It takes far more sense to be an excellent cook than a tolerable lawyer. 1 ant a good cook myself, and 1 have no accomplishment of which I am so proud. The farmers should have good thing to cook and good things lo cook with. Of. all the people in our country, j you should live the best. Throw your miserable little stoves out of the window. Get ranges, and have them so fixed that your wife need not burn her face off to get a breakfast. Do not make her cook in a kitchen as hot as an or thodox perdition. It is just as cheap to have everything conven ient. It is just as easy to cook well as lo cook any other way. There ought to be a law passed making it a crime, punishable with imprisonment in the peni tentiary, to fry beefsteak. Broil it; it is just as easy, and when broiled, it is delicios. Fried beef steak isn't fit fora beast. Give vour wives and daughters the conveniences,and in a little while they will he most excellent cooks. Good cooking is one of the high ost arts of civilization, and we are more indebted to this art in de veloping real manhood than to almost any other. The man whose arteries are filled with good, rich blood, made of good and well cooked food, has piuck, courage,endurance and noble im pulses. The man that invented a good soup did more for his race than the inveuter of any system of theology. You must remem ber that if you wish your wife to cook well, she must have the con veniences to cook with. In old times there would be feleveu children in the fanjily and only one skillet ; and they generally depended upon whgt-ftw boards they could tare ofl‘ tli£ house for kindling. See to it tflat there is plenty of good wood, plenty of good coal and kindling, and plen tv to cook- TJiere is no reason i why farmers should not have fresh meat all the year round. There is no sense in stuffing your self with salt meat every morning and making a well of yourself for the balance of the day ; and won doling why you don’t enjoy good health. There is no sense in this. Every fanner should have an ice house. Upon neatly every farm is some little stream, from which plenty of ice could be obtained ; and an ice house will fill every summer with joy. Dr. Draper, one of the greatest men in the world, says that ice water noton ly healthy, but it has done away with many low forms of fever in the great cities. Every farmer should have ice water; and he can have it with an expense so trifling that (he poorest could scarcely feel it. Make your home pleasant. Have your Auses warm and comfortable 1* the winter. Do not build a story- and a half hause. The half story is an oven, in which during the sum liter you will hake every night, and feel every morning as though only the rind of yourself was left. Decorate your rooms even if you do so with cheap engravings; they are much better than none. Have books, have papers; read them. You have more leisure Ilian the dwellers in cities. Beau tify your grounds with plants, with (lowers. Have good gardens and recollect that everything of beauty tends to your elevation. Every little morning glory, whose purple heart is thrilled witli the light of the morning sun, tends to blossom in your heart. 1 can imagine no condition that carries! with it such a promise of joy as the farmer in the autumn, with his cellar full, with every prepa ration made for the winter, with the prospect of three months of comfort and rest, three months of fireside and content,three months ot home and family, three.monthly of pure solid Make voil homes Do not hiflg die together in, ■ round a red .wit!isl||||| window iH-temTßppji : live in IhisjioisonJri wlkmi one of your put a pieeo in ’} - ■ . .*1 -• \V o 11 c from our midst." 11; nVwi 1 c iitwMl I.w I.

There’is no happiness in a house not tilled withlove,where the man hates the wife or the wife hates the hus band; where the children fear their parents, where parents dis like their children. Kvery such, is simply a hell upon earth. There is nothing in the cultiva tion of the soil to make men crabbed or unjust, To look up on the sunny slopes covered with daisies does not tend to make men cruel. Whoever labors for the happiness of those he loves elevates himself, no matter whether he works in a shop or plows in the perfumed fields. The Mammal Value of Salt. Salt has been employed in Eu rope as manure from time imme morial, and is still used both there and in this country not only to in duce the growth of marine plants, but to impart solidity to the grain and stiffen the stems of ceieals cultivated on lands deficient, in chlorine and soda. Its advantage to growing plants sustained by experience is also to be inferred from a knowledge of its compo sition. In a pure state it consists of sixty parts of chlorine mid for ty of sodium iii every one hun dred parts. Sodium chemically combined with oxygen forms so da. Salt, therefore, must furnish two of the important constituents in the ash of every vegetable. Its great affinity for water has the effect, like that of gypsum, of at trading dews and atmospheric vapors to the growing crop, by which it is supplied with moist ure much beyond that which is conveyed to such as are destitute of these manures. Crops of grain, roots and grass es have been largely increased either by applying salt in minute portions in the hill, scattering broadcast or mixing with the muck heap. On the other lnujd, salt applied too profusely to grain or grass, and in soils not requir ing it. works positive harm ; the same quantity of salt that would induce marine plants, such ns asparagus, celery or beets, to yield a luxuriant growth, would kill not only young grass but many plants in their early stages. Professer Voelcker, who has made a series of thorough experi ments to test tiie amount of salt plants will bear without sustain ing injury, found that twenty four grains of salt to one pint of water produced no bad effect on onions, turnips, radishes or mead ow fescue, and that cabbage and asparagus would stand it well up to 100 grains, even though water led \a" : ', strong solution for * days in succes siojijf ' experimented with a v \ ‘certain what amount Jof salt is really beneficial to i plants, lie found that cabbages, ! radishes, onions, beets and other | bulbs, when watered frequently ' with a solution of twenty-four i grains of salt to one pint of wa ter, made rapid growth and were in all ways more vigorous than ! those treated with the same a mount of unsalted water. Grass es were benefited in some situa tions by a moderate annual dies sing ; that growing on soil near, the sea not requiring as much ns on inferior lands. On some soils, it is plain to be seen, salt yields no benefit, as for intunce such as are near the sea coast or such as coutan chlorine and soda in any other forms.

Just now the guano trade is considerably disturbed in ennse j quence of the action taken by the Convention of Manufacturers of Fertilizers which assembled in Augusta on the 18th of December. That convention decided to ad vanco the price of their different fertilizers about one-eightli,claim ing that they had lost money on last year’s prices. In various parts of the State tie farmers have held meetings and resolved not to purchase any fertilizers until the manufacturers reduce prices to last year’s standard. As yet the guano men adhere to the action of (lie convention, and there seems to be some feeling getting up between them and the farmers. This, it seems to us, is all wrong. The manufacturers know the expense attending their business, and if they have been losing money at former rates, is hut the dictate of comm- q sense that prices should he ad vanced. Planters have probably learned by this time how much they can afford to pay for fertili zers, and if the prices go above what experience has proven will be remunerative to them, they sltbuld, of course, decline to pur chase. Hence it is altogether a matter of business, about which there should be no> feeling.”—. Ihomaatou EuUupriw. 1*2(1 Vine* for Eertilizfflj *• Pea vines are the best fertilizer we can use.
