Le f any one board ala first class ho*
tel in any of our cities, and he will gen
erally see three or. four, varieties of vege
tables on the dinner tabic even in the
winter, when varieties are few, and these
will vary lroui day to day, through the
week, showing that the landlord has
s- nie means. of obtaining & or 8; kiuds
of vegetables in winter. In the families
of good livers in town, the same variety
may be seen, and during the growing
season, in succession as they mature, thy
delicious produets of the vegetable gar*'
deu appear,upon the table.ot the towus
nm u
]|ut how is it with farmers? They
Lave the soil t> produce these vegetables
but are they seen in variety, through the
year, upon these tibles? With a few
creditable exception it is a weil-ascer"
t,iii*ed that farmers do not have well-till
ed and well-stocked gardens. We sup*
pose that the reason for this may be
found in the fact that far o&er.s.are short
ol help. They have not help enough to
attend to the various field crups in their
proper season, and the garden too and so
i hey neglect the garden, which would
bring them in no cash, and bestow their
labor upon the field crops by the sale
of which they lift the mortgage on
their own farms, or purchase mort
gages on the farms of their neighbors.
The truth of the matter is in the fact
that farmers do not justly appreciate tin
value of a regular and abundant supply
of palatable and wholesome vegetable to
the family. Such a diet has more than
a physical sanitary effect; it has also a
mental and moral effect. It not only
makes the family healthier, stronger,
more efficient—it makes them happier
aid better. When a man and his
family sit down and consume a meal of
delicious, fragrant vegetables it not on
ly satisfies the demands of the body, but
it sweetens the disposition put them all
iu a happy frame of mind, which react*
upon the body, promoting a health -
ful digestion aud assimilation of the
l(?od.
*• he Rural Home nas labored in years
past to magnify tho important of the
i imily garden to the farmer’s hon e and
persistently urged farmer’s with their
wives and children to plant and cultivate
vegetables, fruits, and flowers, honestly
believing that it would add incalculably
to the attractions and beneficent influen
ces of their homes, anu render them
better satisfied with their vocation. If
farmer’s children are deprived of many
of the social privileges and pleasures en
joyed by thoso living in town, they are
jusfy entitled to all those properly be
longing to life in the country.
We have published in farmer number
plans for laying out the farmer’s garden
iu such a way as to ecnomize labor, either
at the ends for tho horse to turn on, or
in circular fbrui with the rows extend
ing around the garden so that a horse
in cultivating could keep going round,
and round, turning about until it is fin*
ished. \Y ith a garden thus arranges
and with the assistance ofmanoa man to
do the horse labor, the children in ma
dy families could take care of the garden
and make their labor a source of posi
enj oymeut as well as of great useful
ness.
Young Chickens.
Luring the winter just past, I have
experimented to some extent with my
poultry.; and find the raising of winter
chiehens to be at least a pleasant occu
pation and so far have no reason to donbt
but that it can be made a very profita
ble business. I shall no doubt engage
in it largely another winter. I have
never had better luck with ipring chicks
than I have a single and to die, or
fail to get out of the shell without ascis
tance.
Less eggs hatch in winter than in the
spring first because a greater proportion
are not fertilized; and secondly we will
crowd too many eggs under a hen ; and
several other causes.
I will say however that those who en
gage in the poultry business in winter,
or any other season, without bestowing
upon it the same care and attention
that they do upon their other farm bus
i less may expect to labor without profit
there is no money in it. Like all others
occupations there is a great deal to be
learned to become masters of the busi
mss. One must actually have a love for
the calling.
Indian Corn. — It is generally sup
posed that our Indian ourn, or maize, is
a native of America, having been fo ind
among the Inilians at the time of the
discovery of the country. But nothing
is known positively in regard to its na
tive countiy beyond uiere tradition as it
never has been found growing wild any
where Japanese seem to have been
well acquainted with maize for a long
time, and possess varieties of which we
knew nothing until of years ; but wheth
er they p ueuted it originally from Ja
pan will probably re rnaiu one of the
unsolved problems.
