VISITING AMONG FARMERS.

This may seem to some very un-
suitable topic for this busy time of
the year. On the contrary, it is es-
pecially seasonabla. Most farmers
make life too much drudgery for
themselves and for their children
by working hard from morning until
night, and from week to week, with
no recreation, they become dull, and
do not accomplish so much as they
would with little timely relaxation !;
call work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" Nor do they enjoy life
nearly so well. They doubtless say
to their souls, '1 must work hard
now, and lay up money against
time of need, or against old age !;
then I will rest and enjoy myself"
They forget that they are meanwhile
wearing out their faculties of enjoy
ment, and are acquiring habits which
will unfit them for anything but an
old age of continual toll. Let farm
ers bear in mind, too, the effect of
such a life on their children.
As to the way in which farmers
shall getrecreation, we are not dis
posed to be particular. Some choose
to get it in one way, and some in ano-
ther. One very good 'method IS to
make up an occasional pic mic. Fix
on a pleasant afternoon, and take
the whole family to some neighboring
grove, where the children can romp,
where the old folks can rest, and all
can have good supper. If several
families can unite, it will be all the
better. Another way, is to make short
visits to the neighbors. To do this, it
viii not be needful to consume whole
day this would be an unnecessary loss
to you and bore to your neighbor. But
seize ON the broken, half-days, or even
the hour after tea, and ride over TO
neighbor AS, or neighbor DIS. He will
be glad to show you his stock and his
crops, and his orchard You will learn
something from him, and he from you.
AT any rate. you will get recreation, and
will return to your home and your daily
labors with new gest

FORTUNES SUNK I'm FARMING.


j. ]. Thomas says he kpows
farmer over sixty years old, wh'
has worked hard for more than fortJ
years. He began with a good one
hundred and fifty acre farm giver
him, but subject to an incumbranee
of about one-third its value. This
was a good start. He is after lapse
of forty years, still in debt. He is
temperate had he not been, his farm
would have gone long ago. lie has
worked hard (; had he not, he must
bave failed. lie has been economic
al, in its common meaning, or he new
er would have kept even with his
creditors.
What, then, has kept him back in
the world? Mr.. Thomas has been
figuring up, and finds that he has vir-
tually sunk three good estates by
want of management
First. In winterlng his cattle and
sheep. He kept generally, about
twenty cattle and one hundrd sheep.
The cattle trod about three tons OF
hay under foot each year, and con-
sumed half ton each extra by ex-
p3sure to the winds, in all thirteen
IONS, worth $40. This exposure of
cattle and calves reduced their size
and market value one hird-anual
increase, six head, and average val
ue lost, So each-$48. Ten per ct.
of his sheep and lambs were lost By
want of shelter, and the clip was di-
minished 25 per cent from the same
cause-total loss on sheep, per an
mum, $50 The whole yearly loss on
cattle and sheep was, therefore,
S189. In forty years this annual
loss, with compound interest, would
amount to about &35, 900. Thus one
fortune has been sunk.
Secondly. In want of good ro-
tationof crops. HeraiseG wheat after
wheat, oats after oats, corn after
corn, because the stubble was most
easily plcwed, till his land was ex-
hausted and full of weeds. The
crops, as a whole, scarcely paid his
labor. A good rotation would have
safely given him one-third more,
which would have been clear gain,
on an average, of at least $5 an acre,
on about fifty acres, yearly-total,
$3.50 a year. This loss repeated for
forty years, and interest, would
amount to more than $4,000 =
This was the second fortune sunk.
Thirdly. In raising crops of
weeds. Some of his pasture fields
had heavier growth of mulleins,
rag-weed, johnswort and thistles,
than of grass ; consequently, at least
half land was wasted to grow them.
On fifty acres of pasture, at least 81
each were yearly wasted, to say moth
ing of the loss of grain by the Cana
da thistle patches, in retarding
growth and preventing clean harvest
ing, and his greatly diminished crop
of corn b fox-tail and pig weed
The ANIMAL loss from weeds was,
therefore, at least $100-the amount
of which, with interest, in forty years
would be $4,000. The third fortune.
