THEORY FARMING.

MEssRs. EDIToas Strange as il may
seem, we have SOME farmers ia our ranks
who, even in this age of progression and
reform, are strongly prejudiced against
theory, as applied to great farming inter-
ests Of the nation. Theory IN agricultural
pursuits, with them, is a humbug-a spec
lulaton, and implies something visionary
lin the extreme. You may theorize about
Everything else, If you will hold your peace
here. They appear to regard discussion
and reason on this subject, as a bold intru-
Ision upon their venerated customs. "They
are to be pitied, rather than censured, for,
as general thing, they were trained up
under forme., and very different, dispen-
s,ltion Of things from the present, and were
taught that the naturally bright and intel
| ligent boy should receive liberal eduea-
Ition, but any fool might be a farmer
| that linowledgewas evendangerous a.2i g
for the latter, as it might only serve to
make him lazy, and thus unfit him for MS
calling. We find this class living without
even The limited benefits of an agricultural
Journal. They are, frequently, an indus
Itrious, hard-laboring class Of community,
Iplodding on,from year to year,in the same
routine, often times laboring hardfor days to
accomplish what the scientific, theorizing
farmer would do in as many hours. 1t
lseen,s almost impossible to crowd them
out Of the old bark-n1ill track Of their an
| tiuqated predecessors. Why, l verify
believe, if they were offered the chance Of
good old Enoeh, Of being translated direc-
rectly from earth to Heaven, without tast-
ing death, they would reject the kind invl-
tation for the very best Of reasons, in their
opinion, that neither their ataer,or grand
fathers, went in that way.
The individual who attempts to farm it
without knowledge of the general princi-
pies of Agricultural Science, must invaria-.
bly, pursue circuilous or zig gag course, if
he advances at all; while the practical far
mer, aided by theory, will cut his corner
come in ahead every time, and, probably,
win The prize. What should we say of a
man, who at the present time, should de-
| liberately hitch up his oxen to his lumber
wagon and spend ten or twelve days to-
gether with twenty dollar gold piece,
dragging through mud, azle-tree deep, to
| Milwaukee for load Of salt, when he
could step upon the cars, and accomplish
his business in as many hours, with one
half the expense, and save all the wear
and tear? Logyi That he was a per-
fecl n51ay-that he was living at least
half q century behind time, and would be
|entilled TO no sympathy ifsuch a blind, IN
ltatuated course should result in poverty
and ruin. G. IL. Il.

HELP ONE ANOYEER.

The following touching incident illus
trates the worth of spiritual sympathy and
effort. Christians who are wholly absorb
cd in self, soon grow torpid in their atfec-
ton and lose the freshness Of their spirit
ual life. But when they put forth earnest
endeavors to save others from eternal
death, their own hearts are warmed, their
faith and zeal quickened, and they make
rapid progress in personal holiness:
A traveller who was passing over The
Alps was overtaken by a snow-storm at
the top ola high mountain. The cold be-
came intense. The air was thick with
sleet; and the piercing wind seemed to
penetrate Tito his bones. Still the trav-
eler for: :. time, struggled on. But at last
his limbs were quite benumbed-a heavy
drowsiness began to creep over hinl--hs
feet almost refused to move; and he lay
down on the snow to give way to that fatal
sleep, which is the last stage Of extreme
cold, and from which he would certainly
never have walked up again in this world.
Just at that moment he saw another poor
traveller coming up the road. The unhap-
py man seemed to be, if possible, even in
d worse condition than himself, for he, too,
could scarcely move; all his powers were
frozen, and he appeared Just on the point
TO die.
When he saw this poor man, the travel
err who was just going to lie down to sleep,
made a great effort. He reused himself
UP, and he crawled-for he was scarcely
able to waIk-to his fellow-suilerer.
He took his hand into his own, and tried
to warm them. He chaffed his temples
he rubbed his feet; he applied friction to
his body. And all the time he spoke
cheering words in his ear, and tried to COM
fort him.
AS he did this, the dying man began to
revive; his powers were restored, and he
felt able to 60 forward. But this was not
all; for his kind benefactor, too, was re-
covered by the efforts he had made to save
his friend. The exertion of rubbing made
the blood circulate again in his body. He
grew warm by trying to warm the ether.
| His drowsiness went off, he no longer
wished to sleep, his limbs returned again
to their proper force, and the two tray
elers went on their way together, hap
| py, and congratulating one another on then
escape.
Soon the snow storm passed away, and
the mountain was crossed, and they reach
ed their homes in safety.

Purity Of Intention.
That we should intend the glory Of

That we should intend the glory OF God
in every action we do, is expressed by St.
Paul. When we observe this rule, every
action becomes religious, and every meal
an act of worship, and shall have its reward
in proportion as well as an act of prayer
With purity Of intention, the most uncom-
mon act Of life is sanctified; but without
it, even cur devotions are imperfect and
vicious. For he that prays of custom, or
gives aims for the praise, or fasts to be &C.
counted religious, is but a pharisee in his
devotion, a beggar in bis aims, in his
devotion, a beggar in his aims, and a hyp-
ocrite In lis last. II a man visits sick
friend, and watches with him at his pillow
for charity's sake, and because of his old
affection, we approve it; but if he does it
in the hope Of a legacy, he is vulture,
and only watches for the carcass. The
same things are honest and dishonest; the
manner of doing them, and the design
make the difference.
Holy intentions is to the actions ola mar
that which the soul is to the body, or
for form is to matter, or the root to the
tree, or the sun to the world, or the foun-
tain to the river, or the base to the pillar;
for without these, the body is a dead
trunk, the matter is sluggish, the tree is a
block, the world is darkness, the river is
quickly dry, the pillar falls into ruin; and
the action is sinful, Improbable, and vain.
The poor farmer who gave dish of cold
water to Artaxerxes was rewarded with
a golden goblet; and he that gives the
same to disciple, shall have crown; but
if he gives water in despite, when the dis
ciple needs wine or cordial, his reward
shall be to want that water to cool his
tongue Bishop Taylor.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Probably at no greater period IN the
history of Wisconsin, has there been SO
large number of new school houses cree
ted, as during the past year. In many
of the cities and villages in various parts
of the State, we hear Of the building of
large aud elegant school edifices, ranging
in cost from one thousand to ten thousand
dollars each. The policy Of dividing 3
village containing a few hundred, or even
a few thousand inhabitants into small dis
trct, is becoming every yeas more unpop-
ular. Educators maintain, and expert
ence proves, that LARGE houses with CLASH
fed departments, are more economical,
and better calculated to advance the inter
ests of education. AS to tie plans Oh
which most of these houses have been con-
structed, and their internal arrangement,
we have no definite information. 1t is
reasonable, however, to infer from the
character and intelligence Of the popnla-
ton of the towns which have erected i that
the latest and approved models have been
consulted A school house with an ele-
giant exterior, is certainly very desirable !;
but after all, its interior plan and equip
ments, have greater practical Importance.
The art of constructing school buildings,
and supplying them with necessary appen-
dages and fixtures, has for years been I'M
.dergoing progress like all other arts. The
department Of educational enterprise, is as
susceptible of improvement, as the imple-
Inents of agriculture or mechanical ma
chinery. We suggest to teachers and
friends of education, whether it might not
serve useful purpose, were they furnish
suggestions on this subject through the
columna of the Journal. These consid-
erations derive additional Importance from
the fact that large amount of capital,will
continue to be employedssyearly in this
STATE, in the building Of school edifices.-
Every district, which haj resolved to build
a new house should be satisfied before be-
ginning the work, that it has a plan fully
up with the Improvements Of the age

PROSPERITY OF CANADA A cores
pendent ofthe N. Y. Tribune gives the fol-
lowing flatterng account of Canadian af-
fairs.
There is no prominent subject of legisla-
ton before the country, at present, awaiting
the decision of Parliament. Within the
last few wears all the accumulated arrears
of Legislature have been carried. We
have altered our representative system and
increased the number of members In the
Lower House from 81 to $50. We have
applied the principle ofelection to the sec
ond chamber. We have abolished the fed
ual tenure of land holding, which the Low
err Canada French inherited from their an
eestors. aud which they retained sixty
wears after it had been swept away IN
France. We have secularized three nil
lions of acres of church lands. We have
our judicial system. We have
assisted to build great railroads. We have
completed our canal system. We have OBJ
tanned reciprocity of trade with the Uuited
States. In short we have done so much
in few years that we have nothing Of
pressing Importance left to do.

HORN DEeTEAgPER.

This is one of the most fatal and iasidi-
Gus diseases incident to cattle. 1t usually
affects those in low condition, and has
generally made great progress before its
presence is observed. The animal exhi-
bits evidence Of the attack by frequently
shaking the head, by a general languor
and feebleness, a sunken eye, and a cold
ness of the horns. Spirits Of trrpentine
should be rubbed about the roots OF the
horns, and be poured into the indentation
between them. This application, if used
in the early stages Of the disease, will gen
orally arrest tt Wis. Farmer.

RooT-GRAFTtNG- ANOTHER INSTANCE.


MEssRs. EDToRs-Fourteen years ago
last spring, | bought twelve root-grafted
apple trees and set them out in good land,
manuring them thoroughly and washing
them with soap suds every Spring. They
made fine growth. For ten years l culti-
waited those trees, and not even blossom
appeared to reward me for my labor
Daring the last four years two them-the
Golden Pippin and the Rhode Island
Greening-have borne perhaps as many
bushels of apples. The balance have not
borne enough to pay their first cost; and
last winter about half Of them winter-kili-
ed, and all are beginning to decay.
Twelve years ago last month planted
2 nursery.H Some of these trees were graft
ed at one year old, and part Of the balance
at a standard heighth, while q few set out
in my orchard without grating at ALL
OF these last the seedlings were the best
bearers, those grated at standard height
the next. and none have winter killed. =
Ny yellow Belle Flowers and Greetings
are the best bearers, and yield The largest
and soundest fruit.
From my experience, would not &C :
cept of all the root-grafted apple trees in
the State as gift. Nurserymen must
know that they are selling worthless ar
ticle when vending them. Persons intend
ing to raise orchards had better begin by
planting the seeds, and when their trees
are large enough to graft, do it them
selves, Selecting their own scions from
trees they know-than trust to itinerant
grafters who furnish scious which mag be
the kind they represent them, or nsay not.
Any man with a sharp knife in his hand
and common sense in his head, can graft
as well after one hours experiences as those
who make grating a profession. G.

Encessant Eating KEursfssl.

One Of the most pc nicious habits IN
which children can be INDUCED is that Of
almost illcessant eating. Many mothers
encourage it from The facility with which
for a time, the offer of something nice
procurcs peace. Ey from infancy, the
chill onsht TO be gradually accustomed
co ca: only when hungry, and when food
is really required. After Two years OF age
an interval of fou hours between meals
will rarely be more than enough, and to
give biscuit fruit or bread in the meantime
is just subtractilg from The digestive pow
er Of the stoln ich. Like almost every Or
gan of the body, the stomach requires a
period of rel,ose after the labor of diges-
ton, and eordingly in the healthy state,
the sensation Of appetite never returns till
it has been for some time empty; to give
food sooner therefore is analogous to make
a weary traveller walk on without the re-
refres hmei4t of halt.
1t is q g eat mistake to suppose that
children would not be quiet or contented
without such indulgence. On the con-
trary they would be healthier and hap
pier were the opposite system steadily
pursued; the greatest obstacle to be en-
countered 5 the ignorance of the nurse or
mother, and her want of resources for the
entertainm snt and exercise Of the child's
bodily and mental faculties.
If these be duly attended to the child
will not think Of eating till the return Of
appetite enforces the demand, whereas if
it be left idle and neglected everything
will be ca fed to its mouth. as its only
remaining resource against absolute mani
ty. So true is this that | should regard
that nurse as unfit for her employment
who should complain shat her charge 9th
erwise 10 good health is necessarily era
wing for something to eat. In this respect
children are like adults. Give them some
thing to do and to think about and they
vii. seek meat only when hungry, but
leave them idle and listless and eating
sill become their chief subject Of contem-
plation. In matter so important as the
rearing of children, one would imagine
that every mother and nurse would be
anxious for instruction on the mature fame
tons and wants Of the beings committed
to their fostering care. And yet it is no
torious how rarely either one or other of
them possesses any but tie cfiides. no.
tions of the animal economy, or can give
reasons for the practices they recommend,
or modify them in any degree to suit mod
ifcation of circumstances and constitu-
tons.
In reality the wonder comes to be, not
that so many children die, but that SO
many survie their early encouragement.
