average crop.
You may expect from the present prospect
there will be an abundant harvest through
Northern Ohio, Pennsylvania, Central New
York, and Massachusetts, The fruit crop
will not be an average one, with the ezcep-
ton of apples. The apple crop promises to
be fair one. 1 did not see any peaches, still
there may be some. The peach trees are
more or less winter killed, they looked better
in the neighborhood Of Cleveland than any
other part of the country l passed through.

TOMATOES FOR Cows-A writer in the
South Carlna Agriculturist says that on Civ
ing tomatoes to cows. he found the quantity
of butter Increased, and beautiful yellow
tomato is very wholesome vegetable for
man or beast, and the effect thus noticed not
improbable. 1t is very easily raised, and
bears abundanty. The tomato is not easily
raised. On the contrary, it is difficult to raise
as crop for cows. The plants have to be
started in hot-bed, and when set out have
to be very carefully tended for the first two
or three weeks. If the seed could be planted
out in the open ground, like most other crops.
it could be raised with little trouble. In the
South, it is, however, different

ADVANTAGES OF LARGE FARMS.

1t requires the same skill to make one tree
grow, which is required to make thousand
flourish. 1t requires the SAM experience TO
plow one acre well, that would plow hun
dred well. 1t needs the same care and knowl-
edge to treat two cows well in sickness, and in
health, which the dairyman with hundred
needs. The same knowledge of the markets
is necessary to sell one OK, or ten bushels of
wheat. or one hundred pounds of cheese, OF
butter, or one hundred heeces Of wool, or fifty
wethers, so that the greatest price should be
secured for sll as would be necessary to sell
to advantage, five hundred oxen, or FIVE thou
sand bushels of wheat, or forty tons of cheese,
or butter, or three thousand fleeces of wool,
or thousand sheep on the hoof. The prac-
teal inference from all these facts Is the fol-
lowing Farm on as extensive scale as you
safely can. Do your work well, and do no
more than you can do well, but within this
limit do all you can. 1t will need almost as
many tools, almost as many teams, almost as
much machinery and help to manage farm
of fifty acres, as one of one hundred, or even
one of hundred and fifty acres. Put your
surplus money into better culture, better stock,
more manure, more knowledge, and more land,
rather than into rail road stock, or into bonds,
and mortgages, at ten per cent. 1t will be
more pl of table in the long run. Make your
boys farmers, and show them how more mind
may be employed, and more money made,
and more safely too, by becoming enterprising
farmers, than by becoming third rate mer-
chants, or fourth rate lawyers, or fifth rate
doctors. Do this, ,and you will bless yourself,
and them, and be public benefactor too

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
], AUSTIN SCOTT, Editor.
SOWING AND RRAPING.

Sow with a generous hand,
Pause not for for toll or pain,
Weary not thro' the heat of summer,
Weary not thro' the cold spring rain;
But wait till the autumn comes
For the sheaves ,f golden grain.
Scatter the seed, and fear not,
A table will be spread
What matters if you are too weary
To eat your hard earned bread
Sow while the earth is broken,
For the hungry must be fed.
Sow while the seeds are lying
In the warm earth's bosom deep,
And your warm tears fall upon it
They will stir in their quiet sleep:
And the green blades rise the quicker,
Perchance for the tears you weep.
Then sow-for the hours are feeting,
And the seed must fall to day;
And care not what hands shall reap it,
Or if you shall have passed away
Before the waving corn-felds
Shall gladden. the sunny day.
Sow, and look konward--upward--
Where the starry light appears
Where. in spite of the coward's doubling
your own hearts trembling fears,
You shall reap in joy the harvest,
You have sown to-day in tears.

THE CHEERFUL TEACHER "A chereful,
kindhearted teacher will always be welcome
to his pupils They will rejoice to see him
approach the school-house, even if the hour of
study has not yet arrived; because they know
he rtjoices in seeing them happy, and will not
interrupt their amusements before the regular
time. But the morose and ill-natured teacher
is ever nuwelcome, and nated by his scholars.
He is regarded as the enemy OF tneir haPpi-
ness, and rarely enjoys the confidence of his
school. On the other hand, the teacher,
especially Of larger boys, should not forget
the dignity of his profession, nor place him
self entirely on level with his pupils. They
should be taught to respect, as well as love
and confide in him. While it is proper that
he should witness, approve and control their
resrea6ons, we think it in general unadvisable
for him TO participate III them.-Penn. School
