Hints to Farmers.

Be Systematic.-liere we have one of
the first principles of successful agriculture,
Let all yeur transactions lie conducted IN
a bu>iness-like manner. Take note OF ev
cry operation, whether YOU buy or sell. re-
celve or dIsburse, SOW or r~eap,makes a prom
ise or a bargain. 70 do this 1t will be
necessary TO keep a diary, and we would
saw, do 50, if for DO other object than as a
ready means OF comparison.
Be Thorough.-Never half-do a thing
yourself, nor permit your men to glide D.
yer their Iabors. "If il is worth doing at
all, it is worth doing we'll" would prove a
gotdea maxim to thousands of farmers IT
they would not only adopt as a portion Of
their creed, but exempllfy its teachings IN
their daily life. Away with these scratch-
ers-men that go beneath tie surface are
the kind wanted.
Leaue your Laad an good heart.-lt
should be the object OF every tllller of The
soil to leave his land in good condition at
ter the removal OF the crop, and, at the
same time, obtain as remunerating returns
as possible. This can be done only by
~hasbandllg all the sources of fertility up
on the farm, and adding thereto In every
available manner. This Is The Alpha and
Omega Of progressive aglcalture. Never
boast Of a ..bank account" if ii is obtained
at the expense Of your farm.
Study your PROFESSIONAL is not alone

the pillow that ems Ires success. Inere Is a

The Sorghum Sugar Cane

From the report of the U. S. Patent
Office, Just issued, we learn that the Of
flee distributed last season seeds enough
OF the Chinese sugar cane to plant more
than eight thousand acres. A bushel of
the seed will plant thirty acres Of ground,
the Commissioner saws, and each acre will
weld forty bushels of seed. Ten millions
of acres, he says can be planted next wear
with Chinese sugar cane from this years
growth, if all the seed is harvested for
that purpose. Further distri %utions from
.ne patent office, of this kind OF seed, will
not be required. The office confines itself
to the introduction and dissemination of
seeds of new and improved varieties OF
plants. The purpose is not to supply graz
%t!litoasly the public at large with seeds
which they may procure at any seed store,
but 1t Is to propagate that which is new
for the public benefit; and those who re-
lceiye the favors of the office are bound tc
extend them, in turn, to others.

BUSINESS PRospEors IN THE PINERY.-

BUSINESS PRosPECrs IN THE PINERY.-
At present times appear very dubious here,
rs every where else; and the prospects
" logging" the coming winter are not
very fattering. There has been little or
no sale of lumber for cash, in the Missis-
IS ppi market this season, and the notes
given for what was sold on time, are al
'nost invariably protested as they become
iue, and in many instances it is impossible
for the money to be realized this fall or
winter. The price of lumber is going
down every day, in the Mississippi towns;
and men here that have formerly employ
ed logging crews" and put IN their logs
for millions of feet off lumber, will "slut
Gown this winter, as they cannot collect
their last winter and spring debts; and
there is no prospect of a cash sale for logs
in the spring at living prices. A fee OF
oar heaviest mill owners will carry on the
winter business, paying very low wages fol
men; but all the smaller establishments
will be very apt to shut upshop.'- Wau-

AN EDIroR's SoLILoQUY.-The editor
of the Springfield Republican thus solilo-
qulzes upon what his fate might have been
ii he were not an editor:
He would have grown up stalwart and
strong, with horny hands, and a face as
black as the ace of spades. He would
have taught school winters, worked on the
farm summers, and gone out hayfng for
fifteen days in July at "a dollar a day, and
taken for pay the iron work and running
gear Of q wagon. At two and twenty, or
Whereabouts, he would have begun to ply
attentions to a girl with q father worth two
thousand dollars, and a spit curl or hes
forehead-a girl who always went to sing
ing school, and ''sat in the seats" and 50 g
.witlclt opening her mouth--a darnatIon
pretty girl, any way. After seeing her
home from singing schoo! one or two sea
sons, and taking her TO the Fourth IF july
and getting about a hundred dollars to-
Igether, he woald have married her and
.sctt ed down. Years would bass away,
ant this girl with the spit-curi would have
had eleven chiidren-seven boys and four
GIRLS. We shoQld have ha a hard time
bringing them up, but they would soon be
able enough to do the milking, and help
their mother on washing days; and | get
ting Independent at last and getting a lit
