We had little cousin visit rs once.
a three-year old boy. who had always
pretty determinedly had his own way
We found him one day with his old
gray cat. which he had fastened in
barrel. and which was looking rather
savagely anxious tn get out. How
dare yon play with that cross old cat.
Charlie?' said we. Amt you afraid
she will scratch you.
90 answered the little fellow. in
his piping treble. she will scratch ev-
cry body but 1. and she won't scratch
H. Not long afterwards we met poor
Charlie crying bitterly. with several
deep wounds in his face anil hands
from that naughty cat. We laughed
at Charles answer at the time. but
we have often thought seriously Of it
since. We never see a young man
who is sure he can drink moderately
and never go TO excess. but we think
of the cat that will scratch every body
but L.
We never see a man running into
doubtful speculations in hopes great
gain. but we think of the cat that
wont scratch L.
We never sec any one recklessly
expose himself to physical and moral
danger. but we think of the cat that
will scratch everybody but L.
Very few there are but sometimes
get a scratch from this dangerous cat.
whose wounds are slow 10 heal. and
whose venom rankles long.
Whoever trines with truth. selfish
lywrongs another, or carelessly wrongs
himself, is playing a dangerous game.
and will in the end find himself deeply
wounded by the cat he fondly fanciss
will scratch every body but T.

Broad street. If she had married-in
fact, any body but her husband-she
would have been treated like a human
being. He, perhaps, becomes little
angry. and suggests if she had mar

she must wear what he can give her.

reaches No. 6.

Fall Flowing.

In an article on this subject. by the
editor Of the Country Gentleman, we
find the following hints upon the man
ner of performing the work:
l. Do it thoroughly and in a work
manlike manner.
=. If the soil is at all liable to stand
ing water in winter, it should be plow
ed in narrow lands, and the water
burrows carefully cleared and free out
lets provided, so that all surface moist
ure may at once dry away. Unless
this is attended to, it is of little use to
pillow low lands in the Fall. If cover
ed with water until Spring, the frost
has no mellowing effect. and very lit
tie decomposition takes place--the soil
is only hardened by its exposure.
B. In fall plowing, the burrows
should be deep and narrow. so as to
expose as much surface as possible to
the action of the frest. and it matters
little how rough the work may be,
provided the whole surface be inverted
by the plow.
Randolph County journal. [volume] (Winchester, Randolph County, Ind.) 1855-1862, 1859-11-03

The farmers generally attempt to
cultivate too much land The disad-
vantages arising from this cause, are
many and obvious. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say, that the lands cultivated
in the country are capable, under a
high state of cultivation, of producing
twice as much as they now produce.
When will our farmers in the coun-
try fully appreciate this truly? There
is no one thing that contributes so
much to retard our agriculture, as the
folly of cultivating too much land.
In the first place no farmer should
think of managing 80 or 100 acres of
land with one or two men. 1t is bad
economy to do so: nothing can be ex-
pected from it but poverty.-poverty
of both land and purse. How much
better it would be to cultivate half the
number of acres, or less, and do it we'll
1t costs just as much to plow an acre
that will yield ten bushels of corn, as
one that will yield fifty or hundred
bushels. The difference in hoeing
would be a trife, and the planting
would be the same. 1t will require the
same amount of fencing in the one case
as in the other, and the same tax will
have to be paid on each. Why not,
therefore, plow less and plow deeper?
why not cultivate less land and ma
nure more? Farmers, many of them,
appear to forget that they have pro-
ductive farm just underneath the one
they ale cultivating, equally and per-
haps much more productive than the
one on the surface.
Turn up this farm, then, with deep
subsoil plow,-expose it to the action
of the sun and frost, and thereby
double your crop.
But the surface farm-if there arc any
scrupIes about distributing the one i'm
mediately underneath-may be greatly
increased in productiveness by proper
ly manuring it. Let a portion of
spring work be devoted to carting ont
manure on the land that is to be cult
vated. Be assured that no labor will
pay better. If any one has doubts on
the subject, let him try an acre of thin
land without and another with manure.
And if he desires to be still more
utilitarian in his Investigations. let
him deduct the cost of the manure
from the value of the increased crop,
and it will be found that it is much
better TO manure one acre well than
cultivate two without manure.
But let him try the experiment of
both blowing deep. and manuring
we'll, and he will forever abandon the
idea of cultivating more land than he
can cultivate well.
Farmersl think of these things: do
more-practice them. and our word for
it you will never have occasion to re-
gret that you did not cultivate more
land

In word, you may learu in this
