From the Farmers Cabinet.
B o O k + A r Nj | N G..

Mr. EDIToR..-It is an old saying,
which has been handed down from father
to son, that Books and learning never
make farmers" We would ask those
who have an aversion 10 book farming, "
to read the remarks of Judge Buel, which
no doubt are familiar to most Of your rca-
ders, and which he made only few
weeks before his death. Bred to me
chanical business, took up agriculture
more than twenty years ago, as the lu-
lurc business ofmy life; without the pre-
tensions or conceits which we are all apt
to acquire in the long practice of bust
ness, began farming with conscious
ness that | had every thing to learn; and
that the eyes of my neighbors would be
quick to detect faults in my practise:-
| at once sought to acquire therefore, a
knowledge of the principles of my bust
mes, and ofthe practice of the most en-
| lightened and successful farmers. These
| found in books and agricultural period
lcals, and by these have been greatly
benefited. Although it does not become
me to herald my success, | will venture
to say, to encourage others, and par,icu-
larly the young, in the work of sclCin-
struction and Improvement, that my lands
which are light and sandy and which cost
in an uncultiyated state thirty dollars an
acre, are now worth two hundred dollars
an acre for farming purposes or in other
words, that the net profits of their culture
exceed the interest of two hundred dollars
an acre.
Let those who are opposed to educated
farmers, or other words, those who think
persons designed to be farmers need have
hardly any education, seriously reflect be-
fore they propagate such an opinion, upon
the injurious tendency of it. The ayoca-
ton Of agriculturists is as cnnobling,
and beautiful, and healthy as any of the
various pursuits of men.
Learning has done wonders in theworld
it has reclaimed barren waists, where
scarcely blade of grass has grown, and
has covered them with abundant har-
vests; it has in many places, literally
made the wilderness and solitary place
glad and the desert to bloom and blossom
as the rose; it would seem as lift was
making almost everything subservlent to
the will of man.
Let the farmer then double his dill
gence in the acquisition of knowledge
pertaining to his calling, and by his su-
perior intelligence secure to himself
vantage ground, which neither low pri-
ces, nor the rise and fall of stocks will be
able to deprive him Of. In every part of
his business, instead of going blindly on
as his fathers may have done for genera
tons before him, let him bring into active
service, tire suggestions of an intellgen:
and well informed mind, and he cannot
fail TO derive advantages from it ,commen-
surato with the skill employed"

10 cIcnSc Feather Beds and mattresses
When feather beds become solid or heavy
they may be made clean and light by be-
ing treated in the following manner: Rub
them over with stiff brush, dipped in hot
soap suds. When clean, lay them on Il
shed, or any other clean place, where the
rain will fall on them. When thoroughly
soaked. let them dry in hot sun for six OF
seven successive days, shaking them uF
well and turning them over each day
They should be covered over with thick
cloth during the night; if exposed to the
night air, they will become damp and mil
dew. This way Of washing the bed-ticking
and feathers, makes them very fresh and
light, and is much easier than the OLD
way, of emptying the beds, and washing the
feathers separately, while it answers quite
as well. Care must be taken to dry the
bed perfectly, before sleeping on it.
