Industry and Economy,

There is nothing more necessary than these
to success in farming without them no farmer
should expect to succeed.
His lands may be rich and FERTILE he may
understand the theory Of cultivation he may
have hands sufficient and implements, and all
the means necessary for carrying on his
business successfully, but he fails simply for
the want Of industry and economy if he either
negects his business or is extravaganza in his
expenditures.
Every farmer who has the means, ought to
do b thriving business; and if he does not,
the fault is in himself There are few occu-
pations that are more profitable than farm
ing, if it is properly managed 1t is true,
man may sometimes accumulate more rapidly
for time, at some other business but the
farmers progress, if slow, is sure, and steadi-
ly increasing, and in the end is, perhaps, the
surest means of attaining to wealth and
prosperity. The merchant, the manufacturer,
and the wealthy Spectator may fail, but the
industrious and economical farmer will have
enough and to spare.
When banks fall and those engaged in the
most thriving business are obliged to suspend
operations, the farmer is secure; the soil he
cultivates is his bank there he has his money
deposited; and it never fails, under ordinary
circumstances, to yield him rich per cent.
per annum. These are not visionary phan-
toms; facts abundantly demonstrate that the
farmer is the most happy prosperous, and
ind pendent man. If his Golfers are not al
ways filled with gold and silver, yet his table
is always furnished with the choicest and most
substantial provisions; he has enough to eat
and to wear, and what more should a man
desire in this world
But, although the farmer has it in his
power to be prosperous, yet we find that all
are not so. In order to succeed he must
have judgment to plan, and will to execute
whatever is Necessary to be done on the farm.
No man should engage in this business, or
indeed in any other, unless he turns his whole
attention to it, and brings all his energies to
bear on that single point.
The farmer should never attempt to do too
many things at the same time; if he does,
the probability is that his work will be badly
done. Do one thing at time-that which
is most necessary of course-and do it well.
There is always right time and right way
for doing thing, and the farmer should
know when and how to do his business in the
best possible manner He should always be
before hand in his work, for if he leave any
thing undone at the proper time, his business
will accumulate on ais hands, and to get
through he must either leave some things I'M
done, or do them in hurried manner, and
and Of course such things are never well
done.

Keep a Farm Journal.

1t il an axiom with the progressive far
mer that the success of agricultural labor is
as dependent on system, aad full under
standing of the results which that labor may
and should produce, as that of commerce or
manufactures And we have thought and
urged, heretofore, that higher wisdom and
foresight might find full employment in the
study of the wide range of influences acting
upon the farm. The merchant and mechanic
deal with dead matter and lifeless forms but
the farmer has to do with active organisms
with living, growing, food-consuming plants
and misunderstanding constant provision
for their wants, and wide range of knowl-
edge to enable him to turn their productive
activity to the truest advantage. He if any
man, should know cost and reSult-should
keep those records which would show all
this-which would supply him with facts
and figures whercou to found well-consider-
ed plans for future operations.
And who, more than the farmer, has in
centives or keeping a journal or diary of
tn, events Of his labor and his life ? To
whom are the lessons of experience and OBJ
servation OF greater value than to him who
in the very laboratory of Nature watches
her operations, and depends for wealth, COM
fort and subsistence upon her workings p
The daily work of the farm, the planting,
culture, and gathering Of its fruits; the
growth, product and labor Of its animals !;
the details and results OF varied experiments
and observations in the different departments
of agriculture-al furnish valuable material
worthy of recording-worthy Of careful
study in connection with the labors of others
in the same great cause, as the ground where
on Practical Science shall plant the seed of
many golden harvest in the future.

How to Conduct Experiments.

A correspondent writes that he planted
bushel of one kind Of potatoes, cutting them
toto pieces containing one or two eyes, and
dropping two eyes in hill. which returned
him Sc bushels. A bushel of other kinds
treated similarly, gave but one third or one
fourth as much, and hence he concludes the
first named variety is greatly superior. This,
quite likely, is the case, but the account of
the experiment does not prove it; for some
varieties of potatoes contain many more eyes
than others, bushel for bushe, and would if
planted in the method described, occupy a
larger plot, which would be likely to yield
the greatest return for the amount of seed
used. AS no statement was made of the
space covered by each kind, we can draw no
correct conclusion, In conducting expert
ments like the above, every fact bearing on
the matter should be noted at the time of its
occurrence, and written down; then nothing
important will be lost by forgettulness.
There is frequently failure to place the
different subjects treated, under the same
conditions, Thus, in comparing several sorts
of grain, if large patches, say of an acre or
two each, are sown in diff rent portions of
the field, there may be so great difference
in the soil, exposure, etc., as to materially
affect the results. The level at the foot of
a hill is more favorable than the slope, bed
of sand underlying one patch would afford
better drainage than would be enjoyed by an
other plot resting upon clay. Uniformity
should be secured in such cases, by sowing
alternate narrow strips, the whole length Of
the field
Exporimenters often try to ascertain too
many things at a time; thus: a person
planted several varieties of corn, to test their
comparative YIELD and attempted also to de-
eide he value of the different fertilizers by
using separate one on each kind planted
But when the crops ripened, it could not be
determined whether the greater yield of one
sort was result of its own peculiar habit, or
the effect of the special manure used.
One seasons cultivation is insufficient to
test any plant or mode Of culture Tho
weather may be unpropitious insects may
prevent success, or failure may result from
influences discoverable only after years of
trial. If every cutiyator would each season
try some one experiment, carefully note all
the facts of the case, aud communicate them
for the benefit Of others, the statistics thus
obtained, would push the science of agricul-
ture forward with rapid advances.

The Golden Mean,
Royalton.

A great hindrance in the way of farmers
prosperity is the want of economy in his ex-
penditures. This, however, is not peculiar
to the farmer, but is common to persons of
every profession. No one, whatever his bus
mess, can expect to prosper, as long as his
expenses exceed his income.
1t is possible, however, that under some
circumstances man may be gamer by 60.
ing in debt to a certain extent. For instance,
if man has not land enough or horses, or
means to carry on his farming operations
successfully, and has not the means to pay at
the present time, it may be to his interest to
purchase on credit, provided he has good
reason to believe he can meet the payment
when due. But good rule is to avoid
running III debt. This is the ruin of thou.
sands.
But, while commencing frugality and econ
omy in expenditures, | would not be UNDER
stood as encouraging parsimOny or niggardli.
ness Many, no doubt make strict economy
an excuse for misery conduct; but thore is
in reality great difference between the two
The miser denies himself the comforts and
often the necessarieS of life, and withholds
what h. ought to spend, while the economist
saves what he ought to save, and spends
what he ought to spend, having in view his
own comfort, and the happiness of those
around him.
The farmer will have many demands upon
his charity, and this he keeps in view as one
of his necessary expenses. He is never
backward as far as his circumstances will ad-
nit to contribute to worthy and charitable
objects, he considers it his duty to do so, and
experience has convinced him that he loses
nothing by SO doing. "There is that scat
tereth and yet incre ,seth and there is that
wthhodeth more than is meet, and it tendeth
to poverty "-Er.

their health and prosperity. Hence, there
should be no unnecessary ventilation, by
leaving an open space as has been reom-
mended by some, all around the bottom Of
the hive Especially in damp, chilly wealth
or, bees will breed faster and gather more
honey in straw hives than in hoard hives. That
is according to my experience. The reason
for their gathering more honey, probably, is
because they come out stronger in the spring !;
the young brood comes to maturity faster,
consequently there are more 'laborers in the
field in the early season.
This hive combines all the real advantages
of every patent hive that has come to my
knowledge while it obviates all the objcc-
tions, aud retains all the good qualities of
the old fashioned straw hives
have used this hive for fftenn years, and
during this time I have not had swarm in
jured in the least by 'bee-mcths,' nor have l
lost swarm by flight, nor in any other acay
by which it could be attributed to fault in
the hive. Mr. Sanborn says his bees gave
him, last year, a profit of seUen dollars a
colony Now mine gave me neary double
that amount. do not attribute my success
altogether to the superior advantage Of my
hives, for, doubtless, there are other causes,
but 1 am firmly of the opinion that that has
something to do with it. l. L. SoRIBNER.

Will Wood of the Farm.

The bright Spring days have come, viii Wood,
The cold bleak weather is past
The husbandman speeds his pillow once more,
The Frost Kings gone at last.
The fields have cast their mantle of white,
And are DOMINIC their carpet of green,
The cattle e'en now, on the hillside Craze,
And the green bursting buds are seen.
My minds eye wanders to the farm, viii Wood,
The farm'wth its meadows and trees,
Where in years gone by-brght boyhood's years
Our hearts we're light as the breeze.
The house by the road, where years it has stood,
Unscathed by the hand of decay
The peach and the pear trees, meath whose shade,
We went in the sunshine to play
The hand that planted them is cold, Will Wood,
And is laid meath the white m arbe stone;
But the trees he left bright monuments stand,
To tell of the patriarch gone.
That old well-sweep you've taken away,
And tangled pump, in its stead,
Brings to your hand the pure cooling draught
From the well that our good sire made.
And don't you remember the oven, Will Wood,
We built meath the buttonwood trees
And how in that oven the apples we baked,
And none we've so happy as we?
score of years have passed since then,
But the oven remains there still,
Though the soft, green moss covers its sides,
That oven close under the hill.
There is one gentle voice now hushed, Will Wood,
That we all so delighted to hear;
Her form lies cold in the embrace Of death,
That was wont the dwelling to cheer;
But her memory lives in the hearts of those
Who joyed in her presence then;
She'll mngle no more with the scenes of earth,
But anon we shall meet her again.
We're scattered all hither and you, Will Wood,
We meier again shall meet,
Around the board in the old farmhouse,
With kindly words to greet
But our hearts cling fondly around that spot,
Where we never knew aught of harm,
And we joy to grasp thy hard, brown hand,
Will Wood of the homestead ia rm.

Smoothing the Moving Grounds.

As soon as the frost is out of the surface
the boys should have malets to knock about
the manure which the cattle dropped in the
fall.
Then drag brush harrow over tho same
TO make it fine. A horse Or pair of steers
may drag the harrow.
After this, in case corn butts have strown
over tho ground, take horse hay rake and
sweep off all matters that would come in the
the way of the scythe.
All the small stones are to be picked up
by hand and carried off or thrown into heaps.
Some moving lands are much improved
by having an iron tooth harrow dragged over
them in the spring. The teeth should be
quite pointed, and little grass seed may be
thrown on before narrowing.
1t was an old English practice to have
large rollers covered with iron teeth, to tear
up the surface of meadow lands which were
bound out
But this course is superseded here by
ploughing up oftcncr and sowing again. We
follow the rotation plan and suffer not our
pland that can be titled TO lie till it is hide
bound.
Still we lave much good grass land that
is too low and moist for planting. For such
lands top dressings, and narrowing and roll
ing with spikes may answer
We are often asked when is the best time
to apply top dressing-in the fall or spring {?
We say in the fall, as a general rule. Oc-
tober is the best month.
Manures may be overhaued pretty soon
be ready for the field. Yet where there is
much straw or hay among it there must be
care lest the heaps heat TOO much
They must never be permitted to turn
white, for this is full proof that the heaps
are wasting. Much manure is half burnt up
in the heaps, and of course ruined.

SoApsuDs.-A tubfulI Of soapsuds, farmers
should remember, is worth as much as a
wheelbarrow Of good manure, Every buck
ct of soapsuds should be thrown where it will
not be lost. The garden is a good and con-
venienc place in which to dispose of it; but
the roots of grapevines, young trees, or any,
thug of the sort will do as well.

Gov, Dow ney.

DIR. Downey, late Lieut.. Governor, was inau-
gurated Governor on Saturday last. This event
has doubtless caused great dissatisfaction on
the part of portion of the Know Nothing ele-
ment of each party Indeed this element which
has for several years been quietly insinuating
itself into the bowels of each party, Republican
and Democratic, has already moved uneasily.
To men who have taken a solemn oath that
they would not support an adopted citizen
for any Office this being ruled over by an Irish
man, must be painful to the last degree We
therefore feel it our duty to come to their re-
lief and administer a medicine that may some-
what alleviate their mind-retching Many OF
the whilome Ki-Eyes, they were wont to be
called by their enemies in days of yore, are
doubtless under the belief that Gov Downev
is, in the language of the song
nasty, ugly Irishman-
wild, tremendous lrishman-
tearing, swearing, humping, humping,
ranting, rearing lrishman.
Never were they in greater error Governor
Downey is well educated, and in his intercourse
with his fellow men, is courteous, refined and
agreeable to remarkable degree.
