TAree Kinds Of Farming.

It has been said that there are three
kinds Of ministers in the church; namely,
those whom God has made such, those
that uan has made, and those who were
never made at all.
1t is possible that there are three kinds
of physicians, who may be known by
ciassing as follows The Physician who
kills, and the physician who lets his pa
tients live or die as they will without
hindrance.
There may be three kinds OF lawyers
in the world, answering to the lawyers
who serves his client, the lawyer who is
of service to nobody.
These three make up the trio of the
learned professions. As we belong just
now to the unlearned profession, the pro-
fession, of q farmer, in which it
is the privilege of the student to admit,
whether others do or do not allege,
that he is an "ignoramus," we will
presume to say, that in our profession,
there are also three classes, including the
farmer who is farmer, the farmer who
is no farmer. and the farmer who cannot
make a farmer
When we sec a farmer who now has, or
has had some other way of making OF
getting money, and then turns to and lays
out bis money il large sums upon some
little farm, year to year, and yet gets
small crops, compared with the large ex-
pcuditurc, and thinks that by so doing he
j. farmer; and if he gets large crop
at a very large cost, that be is a great
farmer, we remember saying of Uncle
Tim, that "that fellow never can make 4
farmer no how
Again: when We see a man who does
nothing on farm, not even oversee the
work Of farm, but is shut up from year
u wear almost, among learned essays
auG dissertations all prepared to enlight
en- oar dark corner of the professional
world We think what old father Blunt
used 10 say when he saw such a thing;
well now there" he would say, "that
are Is Just the thing that can't be done no
way, for that are fellow can never make
himself farmer
The sum and substance, in simple and
compound, of al this matter is just this,
as We iook at: The man who with good
soil 10 work upon, cannot make his farm
a means OF real and positive income
without lesseuing the value of the farm is
no farmer. Still, be may overcome all
these deficiencies and if so be can be-
come farmer. IF he investigates prin-
ciples, by his practice he viii prove those
principles, and be able thereby to improve
Lis farming.
4 farm which should be held at any
valuation equal to 4 single red cent, must
be farm which can be made to produce
every year, a sufficient amonnt to pay for
the labor Of cultivating it the cost Of the
team york upon it, the wear of imple-
mente, the value of manures applied to It,
the taxes, the interest of It's cost or valu-
alton, and something beside. A farm
that cquDot be made to do so much Is
worth nothing, only to help hold the
world together.
i true farmer is one who has become
80 well skilled in his business that he can
make enough from the cultivation Of
@ood-Soiled farm TO meet al expenses pay
iutercst, deal with all men without mig
@arjly Iittlcness, contribute an honorable
Share to the general interest of the times
aud lay up something with which to meet
any extraordinary call or DO a necessary
good deed at a moments warning. Too
little Of our farming now meets this idea.
