and vet strange to say, they have always
been scarce and high. h.priced, few knowing
how to raise them, and fewer still possessing
the proper knowledge to prepare them fol

that "the trufflc improves all it touches,

THE FAaHRR's SONG.

g&x
Success to the jolly old farmer,
Who nighs at the tail Of the plow,
The monarch of prairie and forest,
IT'S only to God he. may bow.
He is surely fortunate fellow,
He raises his bread and his cheese:
And though hard is his labor in summer,
In winter he lives at his ease.
When the reign of:winter is broken
And spring comes to gladden. and bless !;
When the frogs in the meadow are sporting,
And the robin. IS building her nest
The farmer walkssforthto to bis labor,
And manly andsfrm is his tread,
And he scatters tie seed for the harvest
That yields to the nations their bread.
His banks are altahartered by nature,
Their credits are ample and sure;
His clerks never slope with deposits,
Pursued by the curse of the poor.
His stocks are the best in the market;
His shares are theshares Of the plow;
They bring the bright gold to bis Golfers,
And pleasure and health to his brow.
When his crops are gathered and sheltered,
When his cattle are snug in the fold !;
He sits himself down by the freside
And laughs at the tempest and cold.
A stranger to;pride and ambition,
His duty he strives to fulfill
Determined whatever betides him,
To let the world jog as It will.
His trust in Him who has given
The seasons, the sunshine and rain,
Who'has promised seed time and harvest" :"
So long as the earth shall remain.
And if from his duties he wander, !.
Led on by bis venturesome will,
Through life and its changing relations,
Gods Providence follows him still.

HOW TO MAKE one FARM EQUAL TO THREE.

In recent address by G. T.. Stewart,
Esq. before the Ohio Agricultural Society,
he thus speaks on this subject:
Many farmers are destroying the prodpc.
tiveness of their farms by shallow work.
AS they find that their crops are diminishing
they think only of extending their acres Of
surface, as if they supposed their title deeds
only gave them right to six inches Of earth.
If they will take those deeds, study their
meaning, and apply the lesson to their fields,
they will soon realize in three fold crops,
the act that the law has given them three
farms where they supposed they had only
one; in other words, that the subsoil,
brought up and combined with the top soil
and enriched with the atmospheric influences
and those other elements which agricultural
science will teach them to apply to their
ground, will increase three fold the measure
OF its productiveness.
To show to what extent the fertility OF
the soil can be increased, [ refer to a state.
ment in the last Patent Office Report. In
the year 1850, there were nine competitors
for the premium corn crops of Kentucky,
each of whom cultivated ten acres. Their
average crop was about l22 bushels per
acre. At that time, the average crop of
wheat per acre in the harvest Of Great Bri.
tain on soil cultivated for centuries was
about double that produced on the virgin
soil of Ohio. Why is this! Simply be.
cause British farmers are educated men and
apply work wisely. They pay back to the
earth what they borrow; they endeavor by
every means in their power to enrich their
ground and in turn It enriches them. If our
farmers instead Of laboring to double their
acres, would labor to double their crops,
they would find it a vast saving of time and
soil, and an increase Of profits.
Many of them never think of digging 10
inches into the soil, unless they have dream
ed about crock of gold hidden in the
earth; but if they would set about the work
of digging in earnest, every man would find
his crock Of gold without the aid of dreams
or divination.
We have great advantage over British
farmers in the fact that our farmers nearly
all hold the lands which they cultivate in
fee simple, while in England they are chiefly
tenants hiring the land Of the nobility, pay.
ing enormous rents to the proprietors, be.
sides heavy taxes to the government. Taxes
here are comparatively light, and our far
mers are their own landlords. Hence they
have been able to pay three folds wages for
labor to those in Europe, and the cost o|
transportation and yet undersell the British
farmers in their own market.

GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA!

FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER,
AMD 10 PURIFY HNB BEDDDs
THIS SARSAPARILLA is made Of the Sarsa-
i parilla which grows in the Southern States and
nothing else. 1t has the natural Sarsaparilla taste.
Its effect upon the system in all cases in which Sar-
saparilla is indicated is wonderful. 1t is great
safeguard against diseases arising from torpid stc
of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood.
Generally, it acts upon the Bowels as mild pur-
gativc or laxative. 1t not only mildly moves the
Bowels but gives tone to the system by restoring
healthy action in the Liver, and by freeing the blood
from its impurities.
For children it is great preventive of worms
and supercedes the necessity of giving them 80
much worm medicine at the same time it improves
their general health. D..
A better and more useful medicine eannot.be in
troduced into Edgc6eld District either for profess
sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsapur la.
