That he is public benefactor who eau
scs two blades of grass to grow where but
one grew before, is truth which needs
no elucidation; but that duplication of
tho aggregate harvests of our country is
not merely practicable, but would be sip-
nally proftable-this is truth not vet
adequately impressed on the public mind.
The popular deficiency is rather want of
thought than want of knowledge. Ask
scverally the next ten farmers you meet
if they do not think our cultiyators gene
rally overrun too much land-if they do
not plough too shallow and manure too
light, and SOW too late and till too sloveu-

inquire carefully as to the habits of these
same farmers, and you will find i've or
six of them practicing habitually the very
errors. they SO freely condemns shallow

lures, keeping more stock than they can
feed well, and so impoverishing their land
from year to year. 7si l' .tIs, -e
'"My people do not consider" says the
Good Book. They know, if they would
only use and apply their knowledge, far
better than they do. But two-thirds of
the farmers suppose the great truths re-
vealed to agriculture by science applica-
bic everywhere but on their own farms.
One with two hundred acres will say,
when pressed to do better:
"Oh, can't afford to drain and sub
soil, and buy guano or phosphates. and SO
put my land in the best condition hav-
MT the MEANS"
But my good sir, don't you under
stand that you could turn off more pro-
duce from fifty acres thoroughly cultiva-
ted, than you do from your whole two
hundred ?'' "
"Well, perhaps l might"
"Then why not sell enough of your ar
able land to pay for putting the residue
in the highest state of cultivation Can't
you realize that it is sheer, ruinous waste
to fence, plough, plant, till and harvest
FIVE acres for hundred bushels Indian
corn, when that quantity might surely be
grown on two acres? Can't you under
stand that ten acres of grass that will
yield twenty-five tons of good hay, are
more profitable than growing those same
twenty-five tons on twenty-five to thirty
acres %

"But what !"
I" Oh, don't believe in whitewashing
forest trees, and laying stone walls in
mortar. I'm none of your gentlemen far
mers-I have to make my farm support
mo, instead of my business supporting
it,"
And so the hard pressed cultivator
slides off ito fog of his own raising, and
persevcrcs in averaging twenty bushels of
grain or less than a ton of grass to each
arabic acre, mainly because he is mentally

PARTY SPIRIT.
pY MARIE yANE TAYLoR.

The voice of other years still calls
From ancient Rome's low crumbling walls;
A voice that speaks of actions great
Wealth, power and pride-Of POmp aud stat
Now buried in fell ruin wide,
Upon the yellow Tiber's side.
Time was when CGsar's nodding plume
And trumpet voice, could seal the doom
OF nations-when his chargers tread
Caused brave mems hearts to quake with dread
And Rome as mistress of the world,
Her flag o'er every land unfurled.
But party spirit entered there
And filled Rome with intestine war;
Her States were rent from east to west,
And each one ruled as he thought best;
But barbarous nations quickly came,
And crushed at once her power and fame.
And Greece, that land of light and song,
TO freedom, only, did belong;
But party spirit gained her halls
And loud for war with Sparta calls.
Proud Athens heard and did obey,
And Greece was brought to slavery.
And our own land-our western world,
Where freedoms banner stands unfurled;
While Union lifts her sainted head,
Our warriors brave no foe need dread,
But fearless to the field may go,
As once they did in Mexico.
But bark ! a deep-toncd thunder sound
Is heard our favored land around;
And party spirit lifts its voice
To aid the nation in its choice
To raise man whom they deem great,
To fill the highest chair of state.
And party spirit wakes hot
And loudly calls for Winfield Scott
To guide the wheels of State, and free
Our land from negro slavery;
Which would domestic war bring forth
Between the fur-o1f South and North.
This spirit brcnthcs the spirit of war
Disfhion rides its foremost car.
The Irish, too, are called to lend
Their aid to Scott, as toa friend,
But when the contest RACES fierce
Union and Irish go for Pirce.
