Before deciding to abandon dairy work, however, it will be well to consider the possibilities that are found in it and the advantages which it offers. In the first place, it is the only branch of farming which if pro- perly pursued will leave the farm very much richer and more fertile than it found it. It is easy to crop land to A flock of turkeys will search every nook and corner of nearly every part of tha farm for insects, and a turkey has a capacity which seem.s to be never fully satisfied.

It is not to be dispersed, and envelopes every member of the family in gloom. Those averted eyes those cold tones, those brief words, that spiritual txcommunicatian. are hard to bear. What brings on this fitf Anything and everything. One evening you propose the theatre, which your black-browed dams sullenly de- clines. Y''ou go by yourself and she sulks with you for days after. Anoth- er time you refrain from going, as slue will not accompany you.and she sulks just the same for your refusal. One day you dutifully ask your husband if you shall invite certain parties to din- ner, he snappily says it is no business of bu. You are miatreas of the house, and surely he is not sueh a tyrant as to interfere in your just preroga- tives. Then ensues a fit of the sulks when you might as well have never been born. Acting on this, you a^k to dinner a couple or so of intimate friends without previous conjugal con- sultation. Then you have put your foot in it. Your husband sulks for a week. So that, do what you may,when you have dealings with the sulkily in- clined you are aUays iu the »-rong. A topic of converaatiou started in all unconsciousness of offence, but chanc- ing to hit upon some secret sore â€" that will be matter for brewing of formidable amount. So, too, will ba the converae; your declining to dis- cus* a subject you know you will rev- er agree on. If the oomliat is offer- ed and you decline it, jrour sulkily in- clined interlocutor wraps himself in his mantle of gloom and you are iu for a turn ol» Isolation as your for- feit, to be paid with what patience you may possess. But all things have two sidesâ€" even the sulksâ€" and when we have beien affronted with inten- tion, it we do not choose to take ac- tive me:isures ot refusal, we ought to defend ourselves against a renewal of the offence by a very strict and im- pregnable defence wx)rk of silence and withdrawal. 'Call it sulks if it gives vou pleasure, but 1 me;ui to cut you. good sir,â€" to renounce you, my dear ladyâ€" to wash my hands of yott and your insolent disregard. And it is for lite. For unless jou oan change your nature, neither I nor another can be .safe from a repetition of the same of- fence. And as the first law of his life is self-preaervation, here, then, am I justified; wherefore, I pray yuu» let that fit of the sulks continue to the end." products of the business and the man- ure made from the food purchased to balance rations l>e righily handled, the land will be steadily growing richer and more fertile. Bairying affords steady and profitable work the whole year round. One is not worked to death during the growing season, and then left with no remuneraLive em- ployment during the balance of the year. It Is unreasonable for any one to hope to make a t>teady, paying in- come by doing steady, paying work for only a few mou,.hs in the year. The crop growing farmer, therefore, can hardly expect to be other than p<JOr because his style of farming lea- •â- e-> h.m comparatively idle for a cou- sideia'jle part of his time, and makes him during about lialf of the year ,a cou-iumer of the products of bis brief '^ason of active employment.

In this respect dairying af- fords an opportunity to come as near eating one's cake and still hiving it as any calling can o(fer. There are other advantages connected with dairying to which we shall not here refer in de- tail, but it is 1 sufficient to state th-ir general result, and that is that i>( all the commonitie.-i of farmers in this couatry devoted to this, that or th^ other specialty, there are none that find themselves in easier circum- st:inces. more c.imforta'dy situated and with a large iimount of cosh in the liank. than thtvie communities in "hich dairying is intelligently and diligently pursued. .POULTRY AS INSECT DESTROYER. There is one valuable advantage in keeping poultry on the farm that is overlooked by a great many who do not stop to think, that they are very fond of insects, which, as a rule, are enemies of the farmer.

A lack of confidence is re- sponsible for the slowness with which this accomplishment is learned by wo- men, and this corset should prove a 'ocon to women who delight in aquatic sports, but have no hardihood for them.
