Root Culture.

few acres of land planted in roots sugar beets

would enable farmer to carry his mich COWS and
sheep through the winter WELL at but little cost OF
outlay, and with equal profit and satisfaction. We
mention the subject thus early, and in advance OF
the time Of sowing in order that our agricultural
readers may have time to prepare the necessary
nure, and make such other arrangements may be
requisite to make experiment in root culture We
do so because we feel well assured if they test
the thing fairly, they will be well satisfied with
its results to become converts to the root culture
branch of their farming system ever afterwards
we are certain it will increase the products of their
dairy, improve the quality of both milk and butter
while will enhance the quantity, and give increas
ed value to the feeces of their sheep but then there
is another consideration which should, and as we
hope WILL operate powerfully in every philanthropie
heart it will increase the comforts of the stock, and
enable the owner to carry them through the winter
in better health and condition This consideration
alone independent of pecuniary benefit, should, and
doubtless WILL have important influence upon the
minds of those who regard themselves as stewards o.
all and everything and about their homesteads.

Rainy Days.

The Genessee Farmer gives the following advice to
farmers upon the employment of their time when
the weather will not permit them to work on their
farms:
when the weather will not permit them to work out
doors And how well this time might be improved
There are many hours and days of wet weather in a
year, in which it is impossible to do any work the
farm and when these are lost, as they to many
farmers of my acquaintance, they amount to con-
siderable sum. Time is money!" as my grandfather
used to say and further Take care of the pence
and the pounds will take care of themselves
Now, if this is good advice in money matters, it
will surely apply to economy in time to those hours
and half days when the rain drives under cover.
Well, how are these hours to be best improved
will tell you, my brother farmers. Get yourself a
set of carpenters TOOLS and make work bench and
if you plane board or drive nail, you will find
enough to occupy all your spare time
The tools will cost but five six dollars such as
are most necessary; and then you will be able to
keep your buildings fences, and many of your
farming implements, in good repair. If your barn
or stable doors should break down, mend them i'm
put nail in it replace it. If you want any plain,
useful kitchen furniture such pine tables, bench
es &c, take those occasions. But it is unnecessary
to multiply the things that might be made repair
ed in such times. Every farmer that looks around
him. (f he is not in the habit of so doing will find
the wood work on his place lamentably out of repair
Besides, every farmer should accustom himself to
the use of tools. When he wants small job done,
it wastes as much time often as it is WORTH to 60
eral miles after a carpenter. | know some farmers
who have not Ratchet, drawing knife auger, plane,
workbench, about their place. The consequence
is their jobs and repairs generally go undone, and
they have nothing to do half their time in rainy
weather. Is this economy? Yet such men will car
ry their grain FIVE miles farther to market where
they can get two cents more on a bushel.

Philosophy of Farming.

Here is the secret of good farming. You cannot
take from the land more than you restore to it in
some shape other, without running it, and so de-
stroying your capital. Different soils may require
different modes of treatment and cropping, but in
every variety of soil there golden rules to attend
to. Drain until you find that the water which falls
from the heavens does not stagnate the SOIL but
through it and off it freely. Turn up and till the
land until your foot sinks into loose powdery loan
that the sun and air readily pass through. Let nc
weeds occupy place where a useful plant could
grow. Collect every particle of manure that you
can, whether liquid or solid. Let nothing on the
farm go to waste. Put in your crops in that course
which experience has shown to lead to success il
their growth, and to enrichment, not impoyerish
ment, of the land Give every plant room to spread
its roots in the soil and it's leaves in the air.

Soup.

At very excellent hotel, not hundred miles from

a newly arrived Hibernian was hastily made to sup

Inauence or Bnnlxing on nIorality.

Banking exercises powerful influence upon the
morals of society it tends produce honesty and
punctuality in pecuniary engagements Bankers
for their own interest, always have regard to the
moral character of the party with whom they deal
they inquire whether he be honest or tricky, indus
trious idle, prudent speculative thrifty prod
igal and they will more readily make advances to
man of moderate property and good morals than
to of large property, but of inferior reputa-
ton Thus the establishment of bank in any place
Immediately advances the pecuniary value of good
moral character There are numerous instances of
persons having arisen from obscurity to wealth only
by means of their moral character, and the conf
dence which that character produced in the mind of
their banker It is not merely by way of loan dis
speaks well of him to those persons who may make
inquiries respecting him and the bankers good opn
ion will be the means of procuring him higher de-
gree of credit with the parties with whom he trades
These effects easily perceivable in country towns
and even in London if house be known to have en-
gagged in gambling or smuggling transactions or in
any other way to have acted discredtaby their bills
will be taken by the bankers less readily than those
of an honorable house of inferior property 1t is
thus that bankers perform the functions of public
conservators of the commercial virtues. From mo-
yes of private interest," they encourage the industr
Gus, the prudent, the punctual, and the honest
while they discounteaance the spendthrift and the
gambler, the liar and the knaye. They hold out in
ducements to uprightness, which not disregarded
by even the most abandoned There is many man
who would be deferred from dishonesty by the frown

Agricultural.

History
Agriculture engaged the attention OF the Romans
theoretically as well as practically. Their time was
divided between husbandry and war. In the early
days of the republic, their greatest men employed
themselves alternately the and the other Gin

of Dictator SO aa
Among the Romans the OK was the principal beast
of burden and there are many directions for breed
ing, working, and feeding this ANIMAL to be found
in the works of Pliny, Cato and others. Bees were
also held IN high estimation among the Romans and
directions for their may be found among
the writer's above mentioned. With regard to the
implements of husbandry used by the Romans we
cannot speak definitely but it is certain they used
ploughs of some sort, both with mould boards and
Golfers, and without them Pliny speaks of reap
grain was beaten out by fails trodden by cattle
Haying was performed in much the same manner as
at present sf a5s Isl fsa 7ztf
On the decline of the Roman empire, agriculture
shared the fate of all arts and during the long
of anarchy and barbarism which succeeded the fall
of this empire. agriculture was almost wholly aban
doned, and continued to be neglected until the intro
duction of the feudal system in the fifteenth century
This gave every distinction and rank accord
ing to the quantity Of land he occupied. Nothing
contributed more to give Importance to agrcultu
raj pursuits than the introduction of this system
which gave the tenant that cultivated the SOIL az
well as the landlord who owned the land, politica
privileges that were enjoyed by no other member Of
the community. ss
England has, for the last fifty years, done much
for the advancement of agriculture and her efforts
have been crowned with success, her agriculture
