In November, however, after few cold
nights, nature has provided the farmer with
something nearly equal to the plank road or
continuous railway over his farm, upon
which he can convey his heavy articles with
comparative ease. He can now move on with
large loads without straining or discouraging
his team, or putting his own shoulder to the
wheel, or mutilating the fair fields which he
had laid down at much cost and care.
3 The question whether manure is more eff
fcient in the soil, placed there in the fan,
than when deposited there in the spring, is
one that requires some investigation and per-
hsps experiments. Uncovered manure is
always losing some portion of its valuable
properties, so long as it remains in that posi-
ton; they may be slight where it is in the
cellar or in large quantities together; but even
then there is constant loss. If all the drop
pings of the stock both solid and liquid
could be at once mingled with the soil upon
which crops are to be placed, we are of the
opinion that it would be more effective than
it is as usually applied. This course, how
ever, cannot be adopted with any economy.
But, generally, all the manure that is accu-
mulated during the summer can be applied to
the soil and plowed under in the fall. Where
this is done, and the land is again plowed in
the spring, we have found the best seed beds
and the most abundand crops that we have
ever seen. On turning it over in April or
May, the soil was very dark, almost black,
and remarkably fine and light. The manure
seemed to have had wonderful effect upon
it, not only in increasing it by its own bulk,
but in throwing it up, somewhat as yeast
raises the dough for making bread.-Ner
EnqLQnd Farmer.

Strawn, who WAS spoken of as '.The Great
American Farmer, = and VINO died at Jackson
vile, ILL.,, in August last His biographer
has recorded many excellent characteristics
ofthis distinguished farmer" who has met
with great sucsess. in all his business opera
tons, which is attributable chiefly to the fol-
loving maxims, which we copy for the bene-
fit of those farmers who are somewhat tardy
in performing the operations of the farm.
when you wake up do net roll over, but

Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1865-11-24

It is not an uncommon practice with many
farmers to turn their cattle or sheep on the
meadows after the hay crop has been remov-
ed, and allow them to pasture there until
winter. In seasons very favorable 10 the
growth of grass, it may not be injurious to al.
low portion Of the after growth to be eaten
of, but in dry seasons the result is bad, and
SO in all cases where the growth is kept down
throughout the season. Where the grass is
cut down close to the ground, the roots win
be severely ia shed TO furnish a second growth
and the farmer can much better afford to feed

LABOR sAyING-LABoR MAKING

Labor saving implements were once thotght
to be destructive to the interests of the work
ing man, just in proportion as they saved the
drudgery of labor; This seems reasonable at
first, but little thought will correct the er-
ror. How then do the farm laborers, thrown
out of work by the introduction of improved
implements, ultimately find work? Plainly
by the increased amount Of tillage which
horse power, machinery and tools make pos
sibie in the country. In section where all
he soil is under cultivation of some kind, it
viii lead to more thorough system of farming
In the case Of our own country; it leads to the
faster extension of civilization westward, the
rapid subjugasion of wild lands, and the
ter better cultivation of that already under
the plow. For instance, the Western grain
grower, who now deyotes rs to 150 acres to
corn and other grain crops, with the meager
facilities Of thirty years ago, could not have
maEaged one-fourth part that amount in a
similar manner. This increase of agriculture,
net only keeps good the Original number of
farm laborers, but creates a new demand for
a0DOAS1S Al SfSAJ oihSA AStu VI INDUSTRY.
More ships and railroads are required for
transportation, more manufacturing establish
ments, more mechanics to construct these,
and men to manage them, more miners, ma
ehinists, etc. In fact, the whole body polite
thus receives vital refreshment from every
really labor-saying invention. This is a for
cibie illustration of the fact that whatever
fairly advances the interests of one class, be.
comes benefit to all classes in the commu.
