ClW- ~ Tub HoB»i.ici*nor,— Ootorthc mouilrot babes and sucklings strength may have been ordained, but out of the mou'li of the Hobbledehoy there com eth nothing but the quintessence of foolishness. All bis being*- i« one large mouth, and alf bis acts are tonguci to proclaim his never-ceasing nonsense The Hobbledehoy, considered gen.rically, Includes In his class the Yoke! and the Yawpef, sfi8* among all three there Is not, on the snrface, enough horse sense to modify In any degree their extreme ggwkisbnew. The Hobbledehoy holds the penfay of ills existence to close- to his eye tbat It i Shuts out the world of the right relation of' thing*. He supposes phenomena to ■ be as 'be views Ihtm, and he sees them through the glass of Ignorance. His ; drat prompting is to do or say some- I thing, and lacking sense, he says a fool- ■ lah word; or, wanting any idea whatever, he conjinits the unutterable fully , of a praetieal Joke. It must be, however, that there is a latent germ of future good manners even : in the Hobbledehoy, but he does not 1 know the fact and we would not commit ourselves by aisbrting thai there is any one thing which he does not think he knows. The period of th- Hobblcdekoyboodinay In general be included between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one years - many, bowerer, extend this state to twenty-two or tbree,-and some remain Hobfdfideboys to the end. We do not • say tbat all male persons between these limits of age are Hobbledehoys. Nature • and education have rescued many from this wretched middle state— from being •'neither flsb, flesh, fowl nor good red herring." But we need not cidargc upon their virtuea or stop to congratulate them upon their escape. They are not Hobbledehoys, and so let them be thankful. The Hobbledehoys are In the hardest period of their tutelage. They are sent to school for whsll One would say to have hammered into their heads by iteration and reltcra' km what when looked or

back upon should have been learned at » 1 sight. Yet they must be counseled, he urged, and chastised. This, however, in the olden time; only al" figuratively In these sad days can a Hob- hn bledeboy b« honed, and this is all the cr more to be lamented when we consider the way he sits down at the table and .In; and pokes his feel upon the rungs at the tin aide of the chair, how ho developes the W yawping propensity in him with a voice po of high pilch and excessive volume; how In he goes down stairs like an oyster in the co shell; how ha calls the attention of his m associates by a distressing, broad-hand- wi ed slap upon his back, and a whoop in in; his ear, "I say, how are you, Bill ?" and th lastly when we bear his ' abominable th whistle for which somebody will proba- ov My sometime kill him. tir The Hobbledehoy Is musculer or be Is lit nothing. It la meat and drink to him to an engage In a scuffle, and a physical tussle sr with another of bis ilk, but one step removed from aknoek-down-and -drag-out („ conclusion. Will make him grow an inch. This phase of his idiocy Is the complement of his being, for the less he t.„ can accomplish in an intellectual effort g, the more he finds a physical grapple sat- „r (■factory. He is the mule's hind leg u, without the mule's directive co ordlna- p, Hon. ,1. Th« Hobbledehoy like Dick Deadeye, j is "lltreo-cornered," and it may tic that -y corrective measures to break off his an- j„ glee must be despaired of. We must, ;r perchance, wait nature's patient processes, and not look for any marked results from modern methods In his case- He must be relegated, doubtless, go tbat o| class of whom wo have a striking exam- ^ pie given in* "twice told talc" which, c| in conclusion, we quote; "An empty- b, banded youth (Hobbledehoy) once boastcd'thit be bad been in two ot the most celebrated schools in England * 'Sir,' said a byitander, 'you remind '' me of the calf that bad been nourished ' by two cows.'

The lime and salt ! pickle ia the method most used by those : who make a business of buying and packing eggs to keep for winter market.

The 'Havana Method.' the 'German Pro. cess.' the French Process,' and nearly all the other egg.preserving recipes advertised are really nothing more or better than the salt and lime pickle. The addition of borax, baking soda, saltpetre, is just so much useless bother and expense; It adds' nothing to the preservative power of the pickle."

We not recommend it unlesa used very sparingly as a snrface dressing, and in few cases where It may be beneficial to destroy Insects in the soil. Gas lime is lit residuum In the purification of coal gas, which Is passed through it when inaile to free it from sulphur and other Among the deleterious mstthat it imbibes in tbe purification of coal gas are sulphur and sulphurous acid; sulphmcyanliles, creosote and gas tar are also found In its composition. These, with the exception ot the first, injurious to vegetation, but lose their poisonous qualities by a long exto a free circulation of the air. also contains a considerable portion of ammonia, which would make It valuable if it were not for the deleterious compounds it is mixed with. Free op- , plications of gas lime to the soil will greatly injure It, and more so if it is turned under tbe soil. If the soil needs lime we would recommend pure lime.— and Gardener.

Fowls all roost high, and if tbe nests placed up against the walls, at a dis- - nborf the floor, the hens will roost In them at night and soon make them filthy. High nests breed lice, for the heat of the hens' bodies on the nesl all night will hatch out lice plentifully. nests should be down on the ground, ' and so arranged that tbey can be taken outside of the poultry house to M cleaned, and never fastened permanently to the bouse.
