GOOD HEART AND WILLING HAND

by CHARLES MAcKAY.
In storms OF shine, two friends Of mine
Go forth to work or play,
And when they visit poor mems homes,
They bless them by the way.
lis willing hand 'Tis cheerful heart
The two best friends know.
Around the hearth come joy and mirih
whcre'or thcir faces glow.
Come shinc--'ds bright come dark--'tis light
Come cold-ds warm ere long
So heavily fan the hammer stroke
Merrily sound the song
Who falls may stand, IL good right hand
l. first. not second best;
Who wocps may sing, IL kindly heart
Has lodgings in his breast.
The humllost board has daiutics poured,
when they sit down TO dine;
The crust they cat is honey sweet
The water good as wine.
They an the purse with honest gold,
They lead no creature wong;
So heavily fall the hammer stroke
Mcuily sound the song
Without these twain. the poor complain
OF evils hard to bear,
But with them poverty grows rich,
And finds a lonf to spare
Their looks fre--thcir words inspire
Their deeds give courage hghi
About their knees the children run,
Or climb, they know not why.
Who saile, OF rides, or walks with them,
Ne'er finds the journey long;-
So heavily fall the hammer stroke
Merrly sound the song

A DEAL OF MONEY FOR A LITTLE
MANURE

A DEAL OF MONEY FOR A LITTLE
MANURE.
The Rural New Yorker states that "eleUen
million dollars are expended in the United |
States, for one variety Of imported manure in |
a single season. This manure is guano.-
The most Of this is expended in the middle
and southern states. But small portion of
it is used in the northern and Western States |
1t has been found useful in the worn out
fields of the southern section of the United |
States, dressing Of it viii in most in
stances there produce pretty fair crop when
nothing at all would have grown had nothing
been applied. 1t is certainly a liberal expen-
diture. But a serious question arises-how
long can such state of things continue p
The guano thus used does not seem to CON
duce to permanent fertility, it is but for a
short time, This therefore does not seem to
be good husbandry for good husbandry will
aim at and ultimately effect the permanent
fertility of exhausted fields. Again, it can
not last forever, for the guano island will in
time become exhausted, II may not take
place in this generation This expenditure
therefore must be looked upon only as a tax
for momentary relief, rather than as a means
leading to thorough cure of the evil, and
yet it might aid essentially to new system
of operations, and give a spring, first impulse
as it were, to the efforts of permanent fcrtili-
ty, if those who use it would be wise and
properly preserve the grain of fertility how
ever small ii may be, and use the strength
thus gained for the collection of still more.
The Editor of the Rural reads a lecture on
this subject to those who neglect this all i'm.
portant branch Of good farming, and we find
such all over the continent They are not
confined to the class of guano buyers ''Not
one farmer in ten, says he, "colects the ma.
nuIe that he might, and not one in fifty gives
to this product the care and attention h,
should. Agriculturists toll with all the en-
ergy possessed by them-work is made the
equivalent of profitable crop, and the onl,
means by which such labor can be made tc
pay, saving every thing thut will enrich anc
invigorate the sell, is overlooked almost al
together" and he asks this important quos
ton; "lf an improper and wastoful system
of agriculture imposes an annual tax of clever
million dollars for the supply OF food to i'm
persisted land in only portion of the Union
TO what immensty will this sum grow wheI
the entire country needs supplies commensu
rate with its extent of surlacei" Let tn,
farmer ponder upon this question and resolve
and by practice prove the sincerity of his re
solves, that, as far as his labors will 60 thi
necessity shall not come That the spot o
land on which he operates shall not becom
poorer, but that by care in collecting fertile
ers, by skill and knowledge in applying them
his farm shall be more and more productiv
as long as he shall till it---MaiRe Farmer.

This is a small word, but il has big mean

that has chip and does not save them caro-
fully in a dry place TO ldndlc his fire. Chips
are equally valuable in town or country, yet
they are the most wasted in the latter, for
there they are left in the woods or at the
wood-pile to rot, and by many farmers they
arc not even used for manure.
"Wasto not chip should be a standing
motto in every family in town and country.
Country reader, have you a wood-housc r.
And if you have, have YOU storc-room for
chips If you have neither, you may be an
honest man, and may not be a sloyon, and
may not have scolding wife but we want
an ndorser for your word upon all these
points. No country house was ever complete
in its arrangements that had not chip-room

None of the many wastes about farm are
worse than the waste of chips. None of the
convenienccs Of life are more convenient than

modern CRATE, or fashionable stove. Now is
the season Of making chips; now is the time
TO save chps-not by throwing them down at
the bottom Of the wood-housc, to mold and
always be damp, but carefully laid up in a
dry loft. Even with those who saw their
wood there are splinters and dry bits to save.
and we have no doubt, when the economy Of
fuel is well understood, that all sawtust will
be saved and compounded with pitch, so as
TO make good kindliug But there is so much
comfort in chips that we do not understand
how any body can waste them. Only think
Of the convenience of a handful of dry chips

WHEAT IN VERMONT. - The Vermont
State Ag. Society at its late meeting, award
ed premiums to Nathan Gushing of Wood
stock, and n A. Fletcher of Bridport, for
winter wheat--to the former for forty-two
bushels per acre, and to the latter for forty
bushels per acre. Both grew the same vari-
cty-the White Flint. These awards show
that wheat can be proftably grown in Yer
mont, while it is well known that no state in
the Union produces better crops of Indian
corn, rye, oats potatoes, &c, or affords betq
ter horses, sheep, butter or cheese. With
such capacities for production, with whole
some though rigorous climate, and with the
boot facilities for getting their product to
market, it surprises us that such numbers of
its people are constantly pouring forth from
its borders in the hope Of better their condi-
ton in the far west.
