While the boys were still apprentices,
nm offer of $4,000 appeared in the newspa-
pers for the best plan for State House, to
Ge built in one of the Eastern States. The
studious boy saw the advertisement, and
determined to try for it. After careful
STUDY he drew out his plans, and sent them
to the committee. We suppose he did not
really expect to gain the prize; but still he
thought "there i nothing like trying"
In about week after gentleman arri-
we'd at the carpenters shop, and inquired

The young man was summoned, and in

must put up the building and his en-
pioyer was so proud of his success that he
willingly gave him his time and let him 90.

sreoialitics in Farming

We find suggestion in one Of the agricultu-
raj journals that is worth noting, as to the aid ;
vantage of every cdtivstor having speciality
always TO which he Eay devote his attention
chiefly, arguing that crop thus acquires an i'm
portance which commands forit whatever intel
gence and attention the cultivate eau command
He may, indeed, have all the variety desirable
for his home consumption, the use of his stock. &C.
and these will give interest ts bis operations But
the one great object of his attention and concern
is the particular crop he may select as a special
ity. To this; for the time Icing, he devotes HIM
SELF and IL enabled to realize from II the best re-
suits.
In farming 90 morally and planting, this is no,
uncommon. Wheat, or tobacco or cotton is
made the speciality, and with e cd results, ex-
c.pt that it may harpcn that the general interests
of the farm are overlooked in the concentration
of attention and means upon the main CROP
THIS need not he, however. There is no incon-
sistency between Il dne attention 10 general in
tcrests and special attention to the one or two
main crops: which IT. chiefly looked 10 for the
years profits.
But the suggestion is especially applicable to
what is called UNDERSTANDING when there is dis
position 10 divide the attention among many
crops. S.eaking of this, the Massachusetts
Plow man says: "1'hcre is no economy in This
mode Encouragement. 1t costs too much TO mar
ket the small truck on farm in little drhets
With some speciality, be it onions squsshes,
grapes or wha& not, the marketing comes at about
The same time. 1t is soon over with and it costs
in the aggregate good deal less than it docs to
run off 10 market with little of every thing"
As an instance of success, the Massachusetts
Powman says: ave once knew thrifty and
enterplising farmer who cultivated: generally,
about fourteen acres of onions. lie got on an
average, tbJut five hundred bushels to the acre.
He gave his time and thoughts to this CROP made
il special study, and understood it thoroughly.
He studied the market, and he studied the crop
in every phase, looking around to see how the
crop was coming out, not only in his own neigh
borhood, but at distance, so as 10 lie allie 10
judge of the best time 10 sell. The result was
that he made money ON onions. 1t was his spc-
ciality, and he understood the crop and the mar
