Neatness Of the Farm.

Ofall human occupation, that of the far
ner Is the one, in which neatncss, and we
will add taste and beauty, should be most
regarded. He is direct co-laborer with ma
sts1rc, whose beni6cent smiles bestow the
abundance, which crowns his persevering la
bors. How much of symmetry, Of elegance,
of beauty, do we behold in the landscapes,
planted and adorned by her spontaneous
hand. Over the dull brown earth and the
black and gnarled branches of the trees, is
spread q mantle of delicate green, on which
the eye gazes, with intense delight; and
even the ragged rock is festooncd with flow
ers; every where ornament is lavishcd with
an unsparing hand. Such is the country
Slovenliness on the farm is rebuked, by all
this neatness and beauty. When the SLOW

fences, his dilapidatcd ormiss-hapcn out hous-
cs and dwelling, the filthy pig-sty stuck in
front, under the eye and nostrils of the pass

and shaded with trees-over grown with
weeds and Uttered over with piles of wood
and broken implements -cvery thing in con-

he must feel that improvement is a blur on
the fair face of Gods creation.
"A little taste, a little determination, and a
little perseverance, are alone necessary to
render the residence of every farmer, howey-
or humble, a delight and comfort to its in
mates, and a scene on which the eye Of tn e
traveller may rest with pleasure. There is
. practical utility in this, too; for the
indulgence of slovenliness, at the dwell

adoption of the simple maxim" A place for

The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1860-11-21

We think our cotemporary, thus express
ing what we believe is very commonly held
among practical" men, is an error. Still,
the results of the experiment, if well con-
Quoted, will be interesting.
Top-dressing is sometimes applied IN
the autumn with scarcely any percePtble
effect, white at others, as is well known, most
note worthy effects are produced. and these
differences, it is found, have direct con-
nection with the rain that falls or does not
fall soon after the application is made.
We have known very great effects from
manure applied about the first OF August, just
after the hay had been removed. The best
farmers in this vicinity would agree in Civ
Ing as great returns to stall manure used as
top-dressing for grass land in the autumn,
as to the same manure used in any other way.
When grass is not cut or fed off too close
in the fall there is no special benefit in a
mulch of litter; the grass is its own mulch.
But as an ameliorator of the soil, dressing
Of earth is often exceedingly valuable. Ap,
ply clay loan on sandy meadow, and
