General Farm Management.

After reading a report of the discussion
Of the Winchester Farmers Club, we
write the following from memory as a
synopsis of the more important facts eli
cited. tThe requisites for success were adj
mitted TO be good drainage, removal of
useless small enclosures, and consequent
loss OF room from useless hedges, deep
ening of the soil, extended employment
of water as in irrigation, the enlarged in
PRODUCTION of root crops, the increase Of
1.-Two stock with suitable Accommodations,
and consequent large returns of grain
crops; the selection of better seed and
employment of better proportions the
improved and extended employment Of
manures and their more liberal applca-
lion, and the introduction of more eilec-
tual machinery and implements.
Before farmer commences operations
he should study well these requirements.
Are the out-houses proportionate TO the
extent of farm has he the necessary
amount of capital TO conduct 50 large a
iarm has he sufficient knowledge of the
science OF agriculture to use his capital
with precise economy? are the facilities
Tor obtaining water adequate and are
The supplies of manure sufficiently near
to compensate for the materials 20 be re-
moved by the sales of crops and cattle
Unless all these questions can be answer
ed satisfactorily, let the aspirant for apri-
cultural fame either abandon his project,
or cultivate only so much of his land as
viii enahhile him to meet all these require
ments at an early date; for if he has one
acre more than his means and facilities
will enable him TO cultivate, in the ben
manner d. at full profit, the loss on every
other acre will be as great as the profit on
the one, while the Nme for his farm to
arrive at a state of perfection and high
profit, will be put off beyond the ordlna-
ry length of the life of man.
All these conditions being acquired,
let him proceed and let promptness and
industry supply cheerfulnes and health.
A good paymaster always makes good
bargains and firm friends, comfort will
surround him, and his work hands will
render him happy 10y feeling themselves
obliged Working Farmer.

Be KIND. Among the peculiar
qualities of the human character kind
disposition is priceless ruby. Its intrin-
sic value can never be estimated by any
human mode Of reckoning nor can lis
absence be supplied by any other accom-
plishment however fascinating in appear
ance. Often more is lost than many are
aware Of, through the lack of respectful
and aflectionate attention, even in small
things. 1t is so in personal intercourse,
in family associations, and in the common
civiliies of society. There is an innate
principle in the disposition of man which
can traverse like the magnetic needle
Ahectionate kindness, like the loadstone,
always attracts it, and nothing else will. :"

How TO FEED ANIMALS. System and
order are highly requisite in the care of
domestic animals, and il has been laid
down as an important rule by the most
intelligent herdsmen, TO feed and water
cattle at fixed times, and at The same hour
aud minute every day. Ii is found that
when fed thus, they learn to expect their
fodder at the stated time, and remain
quiet and uncomplaining until il comes
around. Complaints from his stock :"
says Stephens in his Book of the Farm,
should be distressing to farmers ear !;
for he may be sure, they will not COM
plain until they feel hunger and if al
lowed TO hunger, they are not only losing
condition, but rendering themselves, by
discomfort, less capable Of acquiring IT'D
This is true of all domestic animals,
and should be needed by the farmer

How TO PRESERVE Bacon. Wher
sufficiently smoked, take down the meat
always before the skipper-hy makes it:
appearance and pack it perfectly dry in
casks, in the following manner; First
put layer of hams in perfectly clean,
dry ashes, filing closely every creyice
about the hams, and then course of corn
cobs broken small Tor if ground, it would
be bet,er,) and SO alternately Il layer oil
hams in ashes and one of cobs, until the
cask is filled then head it up tight, and
keep it in dry, cool place. Hams cured
and preserved in this way will be per-
fectly sweet and good for two or three
Yenrs.

The RIGHT KIND OF REVENGE. Isaac
and Thomas we're school mates, and 50 far
as the mental faculties were concerned,
were pretty nearly matched The differ
ence was in their dispositions. On one oc-
casian Thomas rose TO the head of the class,
aud for some reason or other got angry with
Isaac and injured him severely. Al FIRST
the injured boy thought he would strike
back again" and give as good as he had
received but rejecting moment to check
the anger of his outraged feelings, he hit
upon novel and noble plan Of revenge. 1t
was this-"I will study as hard as can and
get to the head of my class, and keep there
and looking dopn upon Thomas will punish
him" The lad carried his plan into exc
cution-he exceled not only Thomas, bu
every other scholar in school, aud become II
after years one Of the greatest scholars tn
world ever witnessed. Does the farmer

cessiul boy vast History tells us It wa

The ELoouENcE OF SILENCE. 1t is
necessary to the wise man-necessary TO
the priest, the printer and the farmer, and
is frequently as eloquen, as ii is useful
The power of speech given to man is no.
BILE one, but often most egreg,ously abused
especially when used to protane the name
of Him who gave it. The good man and
the wise one never perverts its use to so lg-
noble and perverse a purpose. Heaven

preach to men The language of silence
1t teaches tina. there is sovereign primer

pie which makes them to act and move

apartment il is rare TO find grain on the
floor about the feeder.
We used to find considerable des'ruc-
ton to grain from rats and mice and es-
pecially from neighboring doves IN open
feeding, but this continuance has proved
remedy for any annoyance. The grain
is kept free from dirt and dampness and
the fowls seem to enjoy opening it fifty
times day and a kernel or two at a
time.
Nothing more is necessary TO teach
the fowls TO oren it than to raise the door
half an inch Just so as TO enable them to
see the grain. Various forms may be CIV
en- so as to make it highly ornamental to
the poultry house, or it may be construc-
ted in the most cheap and simple man
ner and still answer the purpose Of a fee
der.
Where there are some thirty or forty
fowls they make most cheerful cla'ter
for an hour about the time OF sunrislng,
by bringing the door back against the stop
board. The feeder from which the cut
was drawn may be seen for few days,
at the warehouse, of Messrs. Rugges,
Nourse, Mason 81 Co., Bostonl where
any person DESTROYS of seeing il is lnvlt-

A Coop CELLAR. The following d..

GA gccd cellar is almost luxury, at
any rate it is very important item to
every dwelling house. H0ving very
poor one myself, determined to make
it better if could, The walls were laid
with cob.lc stone mostly, and seemed TO
dcc,y the mason. The bottom was upon
the upper edges of the strata OF very
soft rock, quite uneven and very wet
most Of the year. A plank floor would
last but little while and was always in
state Of decay, producing a very damp,
unhealthy atmosphere, wholly unfit TO
keep anything sweet many days.
In the first place | procured quaint
of lime from the liners of a lannery.-
To this added about equal parts of.sand
making a very course but tenacious NOR
tar. With this filed the lnterstlces oil
the wall making tolerably even surface.
| next covered the bottom 10 the depth
. of from 6 TO 2 inches with small field
