1ksatness ofsFarmfAg.
We have. somewhere heard the remark,
that Hithethe good farmer. everything gives
way 70 his husiness-that utility is al. and
appearance nothing; hence you are not to
expect neatness about his dwelling, his
duorsgafd being cut up into mud.holes BY
the farm-wagon and the manurs-cart, and
the contiguity OF barns, pig.pens and kitch-
en-, such as convenience, and not freedom
from the peculiar orders of hog-yard and
rich manure heap, may dictate.
Now, to speak bluntly, this is all non
sense. Ii SO happens that in farming,
neatness and thrift almost invariably 60
together. The same love Of order which
prompts The farmer TO clear his yard Of
broken barrels, old hoops, fragments OF
boards andeticks of wood, and whatever
else defaces and defaes his premises, also
prompts him to have a place for everything,
and everything in its place, which is cal
culated to bear upon real substantial
profit.
Some of the very best farmers with whom
we are acquainted-whose eminent sue.
cess and heavy profits separate them in
this respect in-bold disinctness from the
rest, Of their neighbors-are patterns of
neatness; and the touch of their hand in
the expulsion OF every kind of nuisance is
visible all over their farms. Their door
yards show that the mastersis sat home;''
the barn-yard, which is not so near the
house that all the butter and cheese manu-
tactured is favored with the e%f1uvia. ex-
hi6its the same neatness even where all the
refuse Of other places is collected for en.
riohing, in due time, the rest Of the farm.
A farmer of our acquaintance, with one
hundred and sixty acres, in whose farm.
yard we could scarcely discover a wisp OF
straw in the wrong place, remarked. .Oh,
| don't attempt 10 make a great deal from
my farm-f expend so much in improve
ments that my clear profits are only about
q thousand dollars a year." Another OF
those neat farmers. in whose fields cookie,
docks and chess obtain no fooihold, nor
along whose fences a solitary elder-bush
or nettle Is ever seen, raised twenty-seven
hundred dollars worth of farm produce al
the prices Of 1874; and both Of these farm
ers live in western New York. where prices
