than upon one of superior quality.
Hence the value of the time lost in
repairing such an implement would
soon amount to more than the differ
ence of the cost of such one and
ore of better class.
Now, I believe if farmers, instead
of buying these low-priced tools,
would purchase only those which they
have ascertained for certainty to be
good ones, we would not see near so
many plows, harrows, &C., lying
about the fields or slowed away in the
fence corners; or hear so many COM
plants about the smaller tools being
lost; for when they purchased first
class tools, they would see that the
necessary attention was bestowed upon
them to keep them in good order, and
the increased facility and dispatch
with which their work was done would
amply repay them for the extra
amount invested.

GERMAN ECONoMY.-Th late tourist
in Germany describes the economy prac-
ticed by the peasants, as follows: Each
German has his house, his orchard, his
roadside trees so laden with fruit. that
did he not carefully prop them up, tic
them together, aud in many places hold
the boushs together by wooden clamps,
they wonld be torn asunder by their own
weight. He has his own corn plot. his
plot for mangel wurzel or hay, for pota-
toes, for hemp, &c. He is his own mas
ter, and therefore he and his family have
the strongest motives for exertion. In
Germ any nothing is lost. The produce
Of the tree and the COWS is carried to mar
ket. Much fruit is dried for winter use.
You see wooden trays of plums, cherries.
and sliced apples lying in the sun to dry.
You see strings of them hanging from the
window in the sun.
The cows are kept up the greater part
of the year, and every green thing is col
lected for them. Every little nook where
the grass grows BY the road side river
brook, is carefully cut by the sickle, and
carried home on the heads of the women
and children, in baskets or tied in large
cloths. Nothing of the kind is lost
that can be made of any use Weeds,
nettles, hay, the very goose grass that cav
ers the waste places, are cut up and tax
en- for the COWS. You see little children
standing in the streets of the villages
and in the streams which generally run
down them, busy washing those weeds
before they are given to the cows. They
carefully collect the leaves of the grass.
carefully cut their potato tops for them,
and even. if other things fail, gather
leaves from the woodlands.

Good. Tools.

The following is from a correspon-
dent of the Germantown Telegraph:
In order that farmer may be
able to do his work well, it is neces-
sarv that he should have good tools
and implements, and also that these
tools and implements should be kept
in good order; yet how often is it
the case that farmers instead of pay
ing the necessary attention to their
tools, neglect them altogether, even
suffering them to remain for long
time exposed to the weather in the
place where they were last used.
L have no doubt that the'reason of
this is, that farmers in buying their
tools, purchase those which can be
obtained at the lowest price, and con
sequently underrate the Importance
of bestowing that attention upon
them which is necessary, in order
that they may do their work proper
1y. And here let me say few words
upon the bad economy of buying low
priced tools, for they, are not by any
means cheaper, but generally prove
deasr than those which cost double
or even treble their price.
1t is obvious to all that it is neces-
sary to bestow a great deal more care
and trouble upon an implement of an
inferior quality, to enable it to do
the same amount of work in as good
a manner as one of a better class,
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1864-11-23
Farmers out of Debt,

IHeFe musk ne something radically
wrong with the farmer that does not
now free himself from debt. Never
in the lifetime of the present genera
ton will such another opportunity
present itself. Every cultivated pro-
duct of the temperate latitude bears
a highly remunerative price. Every
fruit of our trees finds ready market.
Every domestic animal that roams
over our fields or feeds on the con-
tents Of our granaries finds a ready
purchaser. Animals, vegetables and
fruits alike are in demand.
1t matters not for the purpose of
paying debts, whether the money re-
ceived for farm products be fifty, six
ty, ninety or more cents below par, a
dollar cancels a dollars worth of
debt, contracted even in the good old
days of specie for which men sigh.
A few years ago it took, in man Y
parts of the West, ten bushels Of
corn to bring dollar. Everythin g
else that the farmer produced by his
toll and care was equally low in price.
Then indeed were hard times, and a
crushing load of debt settled down
upon the shoulders of all-for the
great mass of Western farmers came
here poor in money; rich only in
faith and hope.
If a mans crops and stock last
year brought him $1,000, and his ex-
penses were $500, this year his re-
ceipts will be $4,000, while his expen-
diturcs, even allowing them to have
doubled-which they will not have
done in one case in ten, will allow Of
a profit double that of last year.
And what is year or two of econ
omy now-economy of the most rig
id kind, that shall cut off all the lux
uries Of life, compared with the years
of happiness that shall follow when
the homestead is free from encum-
brance; when all the stock and ma
chinery are the property of the land
holders; when there is no account at
the grocer's, nor the dry-goods mer-
chants, shoemaker's, nor black
smiths?
1t will be a glorious epoch when
the people Of these prairics own their
own farms, and this we believe may
at on be, if proper advantage be
taken of the times in which We now
live.-Pra'rfe Farmer, Chicago, Ills.
Although the foregoing has partic-
ular reference to the prairie farmers
of Illinois, yet it really has far
more extended application. 1t will
apply hereto Pennsylvania, New
York, New-Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, Ohio, &C., nearly in the same
force as in Illinois. Now, indeed, is
the golden opportunity for farmers
to get out of debt, to make money,
and to improve their estates. There
may never be another like it. alt is
an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good. The war, in the track of the
hostile armies, leaves little else than
desolation; but to the States not sub
ject to the tread of the foe, the con-
sequence, in pecuniary aspect, es-
pecially to the farmer, who has been
favored over all others in the opera
ton of the tax and revenue laws, the
advantages have been of the most de-
cided character.-G Germant0a0n TEL
