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.
