ADJUSTMENTS FOR FARMERS BoYs.-Be- ing lately at the residence of one of our most intelligent farmers, our attention was attract ed to the door of small room in an out building, which was labelled s.-- office'' On inquiry, we learned that this was room given up to the boys. Entering, we found it filled with miniature implements of hus- bandry, seeds, of different kinds, few plar.s, and branches of evergreen; the walls deco rated with portraits of celebrated horses, cat tle, sheep, swine, and poultry; while on some shelves, were some geological speci- mems, and several juvenile books of a charac- ter calculated to inspire taste for rural life, and at the same time to teach correct modes of hushanJry, horticulture, &c., the whole arranged in agreeable order. Isstruch us an excellent plan, and we would suggest its gen- eral adoption. I. furnishes the means both amusement and instruction. How infinitely better 1t is to allow boys an opportunity Of spending part of their time in cultivating . taste for the investigation of those subjects by which their knowledge of nature and the world around them is increased, than in mix ing with rude company and becoming cons taminated with their vices.
