NEATNESS ~ FARMING.
We have somewhere hea'l the remark,
that with The good farmer, every thing
gives way 10 his busincso-.hat utility Is
all, and appearance nothing ;-hehce you
are not to expect nea;ness about LIs d"elI'
ing, his door yard being cat Up into mud
by the farm wagon aud the manure cart,
aud the con,igulty Of barns, ble.pcns, aud
kitchen, such as convenience, aud not ice.
dom from lie peculiar odors Of hog yard
and rich manure heap, may dictate.
Now, TO speak bunlly, this is oil non.
sense. # so happens, that 10 farming neat
ness and thrift almost invariably 80 toeelh
Ter. The same love OF order which prompts
the farmer TO clear his yard Of broken bar.
RES, old hoops, fragments OF boards aus
sticks Of wood, aud whatever Csc dctaces
and d,filcs his premises, also prompts hun
TO have place for every thing aud every
thing in lis place, which is calculated to
bear upon real aud substantial profit.
( Some of the vGsy best farmers with whom
we are acquainted, whose eminent sue
cess and heavy profits, separate them IN thus
respect in bold ds,uc,ness from the rest OF
,hclr neighbors,-ar patterns Of aea'ncss ;
and the touch Of their hlGd 10 the expulsion
Of every kind of nuisance IS visible oil over
their farms. Their door yards show tina,
the master IS at home : the 6aru-yard
which is not 50 near the house thoi all thc
butter and cheese manufactured 10 favored
with the tflIyia, exhibits the same neat
ness, even where all the reuse Of other
places is collected for enrlehIng 10 due time
the rest Of the farm. 4 farmer Of our &C
quain,auce, with 100 acres, IN whose farm
yard We could scarcely ever discover q
wisp Of straw in the wfong place, remark
/ cd, 30, don'1 attempt TO make grea
deal from my lafm-l espend so much II
improvements, that my clear profits are on
~ about q thousand dollars a year" \
nolhcr Of those neat farmers, 10 whose
l fields, cookie, docks, and chess, obtain u,

vauilges Of market which nea''-'- ~ e'es
: Now, let no one say that these rca ark
, are made al the wrong season Of the year
and that nothing eau be done for ucatues
. and order in the wntor. The same gene
raj rule, IN souIe shape or variation, has Oh
, almost infinite number Of applications. Th

, No animals cen thrive well ia the midst 0

diit's sake-he only happens to tc so mucl
Of philosopher, or rather s'oic, dat he i

found that these animals thrive Lcior aut
istten much faster When kept clean aud uti

) Horses and cattle nte often neglected il

, stables for months, allowing 1t gradually L

{ litter TIL foot in thickness, and reason
q ing doubtless as the boy did who combe
y his hair once month, md was asioushe
i that such torture and trouble from the opo

pie. A farmer aho docs his own chores
can hardly afford 10 keep bis horses so fue
ly as the gentleman Of wealth, who has

b oilener would be better. Remember tina
$ the oitener II is done the easier il is accom-
pllshed.
n There arc many other particulars wher
t neatness may be attended 90 N winter. -

are not applcable-to such We can say tina
