FARMING BY RULE.

If farming is ! science and 4 trade as we
believe, then it ought to be done by rule
1t has system in principle and it ought to
have in practice There is time, place
and Il way for everything connected with the
business. And the best success is to be
found in practising the best system. Far
ming is like housekeeping Or ScAool-tcach-
ing, or manufacturing, in this respect, if it
is not done Systematically, it is done to l
great disadvantage There is waste and
loss at all ends and all coruers. The waste
in time is very great. The waste in material
is much. The waste in produce is not a
little
How many farmers there are who do every
thiug by guess or at random. They plow
all soils alike for al! crops. They SOW when
they happen to get ready, whether the sea-
son, the soil, or the weather is right. They
have no idea Of the size Of their fields nor
the quantity Of seed they put on to the acre.
They guess it is about right They have no
system of rotation Of crops; no plan for sa-
wing manures or fertilizing their soil; no
way Of draining; Or Of feeding to do their
stock the most good with the least feed. The
road is their COW yard and pasture. The
door yard is their hog pen. A rail fence is
their only gate Their fowls are everywhere
where they ought not to be, destroying and
wasting. Their tools, carriages and harness
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1856-12-18

are always out of order, and generally expo
sed to the sun and rain Their stock is wan
dering they know not where. Their fences
are fast going down or fast going to ruin
Unruly horses, hogs and cattle are often
breaking in where they ought not to be-
Fence corners and headlands are growing up
with briars and brush. Orchards are un-
trimmed; gardens are neglected. Weeds
grow crops fail; stock die; tools break;
family gets sick; expenses multiply profits
diminish spirits flag; homc becomes unhap-
py : who can tell what does not follow that
is miserable? MI this may be avoided by
systematic farming. Every merchant knows
that if his business is not done in order and
in time, he is the loser The mechanic
knows the same thing. The farmer ought
to know it. In no business is system more
requisite than in farming. The iarl"cr has
to do with fixed laws. They must be obey
ed or he or his crops suffer Order * hca-
ven'S first law; so it should be the turner's.
