PRACTICAL PAPERS—FARM MANAGEMENT. 349 
providing tilings convenient, neat, and pleasant for his home 
and its surroundings. The farmer’s life and that of his family 
must-be a life of industry, but, by the use of improved imple¬ 
ments and machinery much of its toil may be saved. While 
the farmer’s golden grain is waving in the breeze, and his or¬ 
chard and vineyard are bending -with autumnal fruit, and his 
side-board is loaded with plenty, the result of their united 
toil, let him not forget the intellectual culture and education 
of his family. 
From the noble sons and daughters of the various indus¬ 
tries are to come the men and women that are to tread the 
paths of science, arts and literature, the halls of legislation, the 
pulpit and the forum, as many of ,the children of luxury and 
indolence soon sink into oblivion or obscurity. Then let the 
farmer make his farm attractive, and his -home inviting and 
pleasant, around which bright memories shall cluster, and 
from which shall go forth the children’s children, strong and 
vigorous, to fight the battles of life, and the family re-unions 
shall make it3 walls re-echo with “Home, sweet home.”
