AS this is already acknowledged to be one
of the best papers in the State, we think it
will not diminish either its usefulness or in
terest to add two or three columns exclu'
sively devoted to Agriculture. Having agreed
to take the supervision of the Farmers De-
partment, the undersigned feel assured that
they can give something each week, inter
esting and edifying to the farmsr-but they
make no rash promises. Our readers may
therefore rest assured that they will not be

HINTS TO FARMERs-A bare pasture ell.
riches not the soil, nor fattens the animal,
nor increases the wealth OF the owner.
One animal we'll fed is of more value than
two poorly kept.
The better animals can be fed, and the
more comfortable they are kept, the more
profitable they arc-all farmers work for
profit.
Ground once well plowcd is better than
thrice poorly.
Bountiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones. -.
Make the soil rich, pulverize it well, and it
will be productive.
Weeds that grow unmolested around the
fences, stumps and stones, scatter their seed
over the farm and are very likel ly TO grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk
than in summer. An OK that is in good con.
diton in the spring will perform more labor
and stand the heat Of summer much better
than one that is poor.
When you see the fence down, put up-if
it remains until tomorrow the cattle may
get over.
What ought to be done to-day, do it; for
tomorrow it may rain.
A strong horse will work all day without
food, but keep him at il and he will not last
long.
A rich soil will produce good crops with
out manure, but it will soon tire.

Paint Your Implements,

The primary agent in all decomposition of
organic matter is oxygen. Without its pre-.
sence under normal circumstances, no
change takes place. But this oxygen, in at.
mospheric air, is everywhere present, and
decay under its destructive influence is al
WAYS going on. TO exclude the air, then,
from all bodies we wish to preserve is the
first requisite. In nothing is the rule OF
more practical Importance than in the pre-
servation of the wood Filling the exterior
cells of wood with paint is perhaps the
cheapest means of retarding its decay This
is we'll understood and generally acted upon
in the construction of all new implements.
There is however, one point which appears
to be forgotten, or at least to be generally
disregarded. Paint by the action of air and
rain is washed out OF the pores, and when
this is the case, the work of destruction pro-
ceeds, we believe, more rapidly than though
the wood had never been painted. Eng lIsh
implements are much more costly than
American, and this may be the reason why
they take better care Of them. Though paint
is more expensive than with US, they are III
the habit of thoroughly washing and clean,
ing wagons, carts, harrows, cultlvators, anu
in fact every wooden implement ON the larm,
every other year, and giving them good
coat fired lead paint. 1t is astonishing how
long their implements last. Many OF them
look as thoug n they had been handed down
from father to son for several generations.
In no matter of economy do farmers miss 1t
more than in allowing their implements 10
60 with deficiency of paint. We venture to
say, that wagon frequently washed and
cleaned, and receiving coat Of paint every
fall, will last twice as long as one never
washed, except by being allowed to remain
out in the rain, and never repainted except
with dirt
Reader you have paint.can and brushes !;
at least, it is to be presumed you have, for
no intelligent farmer would be wilhou: them,
and an unintellgent farmer would not be
found reading the Rural. If you have not
done so already, get your paint and brushes,
wash your implements, scrape Oft all the
blisters, stop up every hole with putty, and
then give your wagons, drags, cultivators,
plows, wheel. barrow, Qor of course you
have one,) roller, seed.drill, neck.yokes' and
whiffle trees coat of paint. The imple-
ments would look as good as new, your
hired man will take more care of them, and
you will save by this single operation, from
the increased durability of your implements,
more in the course of a dozen years than
would make you life subscriber to half u
score of the best Agricultural papers pub
lished.-Rural New Yorker.

be taken to destroy as few roots as possible
and in setting them out, there should be two
hands; one to hold the tree steady and per-
fectly upright, while the other carefully
packs in the dirt If the ground is very dry,
a bucket of water should be poured into
each hole before putting in the plant.
But, planting out the trees is only the be-
ginning towards having good fruit. They
require great deal of care and attention
afterwards-such as protecting them from
rabbits, borers and various other kinds of ene-
mics. In fact, they should be worked and
kept clean, just like every thing else we
raise. No kind of stock should be permit
ted to run among them, except hogs, and
these only during fruit time.

be better to plant them Is steps or about 30
