The few pounds of sugar it will require is nothing such a party will give the young compared to the happiness which people. If the boys are to be kept on the farm, and the girls made contented and happy, they must be encouraged to hold fre quent social gatherings. As soon as the sugar season is over the spring work will begin in earnest; the fences must be looked over and put in order; the mowing land looked over, and all stones and sticks removed. As soon as the land will work easily ploughing for spring grain should be commenced; early pease and potatoes should be planted, and in some portions of New England beets and onions should be sown this month.

To FARMER WIDE-AWAKE is on hand early in the morning, and will get as large a field ploughed by nine o'clock as Farmer Slowpoke will at noontime. Nothing like being in season, especially at planting time; but it pays all through the year to do everything at the proper season. plant a week too late often means a loss of at least one-third of the crop; and a week late in hoeing not only greatly diminishes the harvest but doubles the labor of keeping the weeds down. The land for all hoed crops should be well prepared by thoroughly mixing the manure with the soil. It is better to plant only one acre that is well prepared and well manured than to plant two acres only half prepared and half manured. Don't turn the cows out until the grass gets a good start, and even the sheep and young cattle do better to be kept up until the grass gets a good start; and the pastures will be better all summer.

Do not give the young chicks fine Indian meal; it hardens in their crops and frequently causes death. Give millet, cracked corn, wheat bran, and wheat; give pure water and milk, and provide a place where they can get young grass, and yet be sheltered from the rain. |
