TIE GREAT END IN FARMING.

II is not the great end, TO see how much
hard work can be done, nor how muih
money can be earned in given time
The aim should be, not only to better ones
condition, but to improve ones self and
his family, and to make himself useful,
virtuous and happy. Which is first, no
doubt, so far as the earth and water and
wood are concerned, but in importance,
the man stands first, and high above all,
and he should always keep himselfsO.
1t is folly to make ones self slave to
his land; bending his back, year in and
out, in the hardest drudgery, regardless
Of his own improvement, and of his high
relations to society and to God. When
ever farmer, (aud we might as well say,
mechanic, merchant or professional man
finds himself slave to his work, wearing
himself out prematurely in the mad pur-
suit of money, he had better pause and ask
himselfa few sober questions What's the
use of this work and worryl What is il
going to amount to in the end And
true to the dignity Of my own nature, tt
my own family, to my Makerl Am
preparing myself for serene aud healthy
old sge! Am l not cutting short my days
A little selfcasechising of this sorti
neodful, especially in the hurry of hoNns
and harves. time but it will not come a
miss at any season, Let this instructor
be given and received, line upon line, here
little and there little.--.4msrican .Ag

THE LEAF CROP.

This very valuable crop is too often en-
tirely overlooked. Multitudes of farmer:
have yet to gather their first leaf harvest
Gardenry very generally appreciate the
value Of this article, and where it is acces.
sible, it enters into their most valuable
composts. Most farmers are SO situated
that they can gather leaves in large guam.
titles and would readily do it, lfthey knew
how well it would pay.
Chemical analysis shows that the leaves
. of plants are rich in fertilizing matter
much richer than the wood. Eleven per
cent. Of the leaves of the elm or ashes,
while the wood only gives two per cent.
Other trees show still greater difference.
The constant growths Of forests even upon
poor land, is doubtless owing to the annual
deposit Of leaves upon the surface Of the
the Garth. These baying drawn fertilizing
matter from the subsoil through the roots
deposite it on the surface where it is avail
able. Every Que has noticed the rank
growth of grass, where leaves have been
been burned or allowed to decay. They
are valuable to the farmer for bedding be-
fore they go into the compost heap Moth,
ing is better for the sty Of the stable, than
good leaf bed. The time of rust ing
leaves has come in the garden, upon the
lawn, in the orchard, and in the forests
Let them b, gathered as the last of har

CONVENIENT GRAIN MEASURE.

CONVENIENT GRAIN MEASURE.
The number of bushels contained iu Il
bin or box may be found by multiplying
together the leugth, breadth and depth in
inches, and dividing the product by 2l5O-
AZ, the numuer Of cubic inches iu a bushel
A convenient measure for grain in the bin
may be made thus. Take straight rule,
Of any desired width and thickness, and
l23 inches in length, which very nearly
equals the length OF one side of a cubica
box containing one bushel Divide this
rule onto 10 equal parts, making them
plainly, as inches are marked on pocket
rule. Spbdivide the spaces each into
tenths: these divisions will represent tenihs
and hundredths OF the scale, and in mea.
surfing will be considered as decimals of
bushel. To use this rnle, measure with it
the length, breadth and depth Of the bin,
multiplying together the dimensions given
by the scale, and the produe. will be bush.
els and decimals of bushel Thus q
bin measuring by the scale s.5 in length,
g, in width, and As depth, will contnin
229.5 bushels. Tbic measure (l2k or
l29O75 inohes) is not perfectly exact, but
near enough for all practical proposes as
in buying and selling grain, it is usually
weighed measured by the standard. j.

CULTIVATE FRUIT.

We feel impelled to repeat, as often as
we have a spare inch of room, the sugges-
ton to all our readers, 10 cultivate truat.
Those occupying rented places should not
hesitate to set out grape vines, raspberry
canes, and strawberry plants. A two
year old Concord grapevine will produce
fruit the succeeding year; and good crop
is usually secured from the raspberry and
strawberry, the season after planting
Currants-red and back-as well as
gooseberrics, will yield fruit year after
planting, if the bushes are two years old
when set out.
Remember to prune and lay down al
your raspberry canes, covering them with
three inches of soil, spanked down roof.

DEAR SIR: The extreme illness of u mem

ceedings of the Democratic Union Convcn-

little surprised to find that my name had
been used in connection with the Lieutenant

If ever cherished ambition for such dis
tinction, have been cured of it, and feel en-
tirely reconeiled to the quiet and retirement
of private life But it is, perhaps due my
self to say that if this was not the case, and
felt entirely free to enter again the field o
political conflict. could not conset to be a
party candidate for office, Jn the present con.
dtion Of the country. Party spirit in my
opinion, has done more than anything else
to bring abont the sad caamaies which now
so seriously effect us, and the poison which
has induced this national paralysis would
not prove an efficient remedy in the restora.
